Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bare 11.5in barrel legal to buy on its own? Yes. A stand-alone barrel is a Title I firearm part, not a regulated firearm. Building it into a complete rifle with a stock and an overall barrel length under 16 inches requires prior ATF Form 1 approval as a short-barreled rifle, or a pistol/braced-pistol configuration instead.

What is the Gunner profile designed for? It blends the Gov’t profile’s durability with the Pencil profile’s weight savings, shifting balance back toward the shooter to reduce fatigue over a long day of shooting.
