Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include an upper or lower receiver? No, this is a bare barrel only; it’s meant to be installed into your own AR-pattern upper.

Does an 11.5-inch barrel raise any NFA concerns? Only once it’s installed on an already-shouldered, complete rifle without a barrel of at least 16 inches. Building on a compatible pistol lower, or obtaining a prior ATF Form 1 approval before assembling an SBR, avoids creating an unregistered firearm.
