[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1809025, member: 110896"] Sounds like a good idea, but you'd have to consider the 16" barrel length. The ATF would see such a thing as an SBR because it's a short barrel attached to an [I][B]operable[/B][/I] receiver. That you have the two assembled, you have a rifle. Better to take a 16" piece of rod stock and finish it out as you so state. As an American, you have the Right to make a firearm. You could certainly assemble the system you suggest with a 16" barrel, and no one could say sewage solids about it... An alternate idea would be to have a hydraulic forming die made. I saw a place that does it a week or so ago. I unfortunately failed to bookmark it...
