    So then of course there's no 5" barrel hiding under that 7" rail...because having that barrel on that upper would be illegal without a stamp. Do I have that right?

    P.S. CYA.

    Edit: Or is it not a rifle until it has the stock on the buffer tube?

    Thats a specialized buffer tube that wont allow a stock. It qualifies as a pistol right now.

    Great minds think alike:D

    Is that a can on there or some kind of muzzle device?

    I just put a dpms flash hider on mine for now and it stops about a half inch before the end of the rail. I was thinking about contacting madmacs precision about a custom break that would get me just past the rail or a fake can for cosmetic purposes.

    Building it as a pistol is the way to go, I received my stamp the end of January. While it wasnt easy to shoot with the pistol buffer it still was fun. This was my first build as well.

    It is a fake can. It's just there to get out past the hand guard until I can put a real one on there.

    Updated original post with price total and new pic.

    Spikes mag block was on eternal backorder with delta3tactical so i cancelled and ordered a hahn from brownells.

    Installation was cake and after hand cycling a few rounds i proceeded to fire 50 flawless rounds.

    Not as bad to shoot with the pistol tube as i thought and man is this thing fun!!!!
