    Wait, did I get the order wrong? So CO already has a 15+ mag ban and the AWB for guns/receivers is imminent. So you're stuck with the mags you've got.

    I think the 9mm AR shines as basically an AR that you can shoot PCC division with, and in 2024 I'd be reluctant to try and turn it into something else. If I wanted a 9mm carbine for realsies I'd...

    I remember people hated it but we had some IDPA matches during the ammo panics of the 00s that were designed specifically around limited stages and exactly 50 rounds. So people could bring a box of...

    Reminds me of the proposed ban in PA that (would have) banned 3D printed parts, even for serialized guns. Sounds like IL has something similar on the parts front.

    So ultimately what you need to...

    Ah, makes sense I guess since they copied a bunch of other Glock stuff for the Sigma. Why not do the mag spring too?

    Yeah I don't think there's a general strategy. I would expect bans in e.g. NJ and CO to be very different.

    Abroad, people use airsoft parts to build FGC-9s. I would expect regardless of verbiage...

    For completely disassembling the modern (pre-lock, post-MIM) guns the tools needed can be simplified to a 150-3 bit, the rebound slide tool (really nice to have), the extractor rod tool, a 1/8" hex...

    I believe that's a common description of the "sintered metal" parts Colt used in the Mk3 and MkV actions. I've never cut one of them myself and can't say.
