Props to these guys for finding a way to help gun owners in those states, but that something that F up has to be produced (which no doubt those states will ban soon enough…) is a testament to how much they suck. I was not even aware of fixed mag ARs in those states:
I’ve never seen that before, cool idea. Of course they will be banned by those states as soon as they find out about it.
Fairly sure there was a work around that required popping the action open and topping the mag up with a standard stripper clip.
I remember seeing this a few years back, seemed interesting but I think it had some flaws. cant remember
How can loading an AR that way not have flaws? But that’s all they have in those FUBAR states.
If I had to move to CA (God forbid) for some reason, I wouldn’t even mess with having an ARbortion. Last I checked you can still have an M1, M1A, or mini 14. I’d just go that route, at least ostensibly. Failing that, a lever gun.
The how of it working isn’t a huge difference versus some scoped rifles(Swiss ZfK-55 is one) using an angled off set mag charger instead of offsetting the scope like a Garand. The why is the biggest issue.
Of course, but it’s work around the design of the gun, so if it has some issues, not surprising. Vid suggests it works well enough considering that reality.
malfunction stuff because you cant strip the mag
Now that could be a major issue.
So obviously the intent of all of these “legal configuration” rules was to remove entire classes of semi automatic weapons that the anti gun crowd find scary or objectionable.
Been happening since 1989. And since then we’ve just been using muzzle brakes rather than flash hiders and so on. The gun crowd is the same group that demonstrated you can convert some semi autos to full auto with nothing more than a shoelace.
There are people who can “bump fire” a stock firearm off their shoulder, and then there are guys like Jerry who shoot so fast he can run a revolver faster than some open bolt SMGs.
At this point those people should have figured out that it would be easier to arrest everyone with weed than it is to disarm every gun owner, and with the passage of each new “prohibition” they create even more gun owners who feel the need to have one because of their stupid laws.
Indeed which is why it didnt take off like some 6 years ago when something like this was announced.
The idea is sound but if the mag is locked your really ****ing yourself everytime you use it like we do instead of maybe keeping it as a compliant shtf gun.
