Anyone here into firearms?

I think as long as they are not fully auto it's ok. You can get a special liscense to have fully auto's i believe. If im wrong let me know.

yes they are legal again

full auto ones however you have to have a special permit and on top of that the weapon had to have been originally manufactured as full auto and cannot be a converted full auto (example is an ak47 there are only a handfull of legal registered full auto aks in the hands of citizens the rest belong to military or law enforcement)

for you to buy one of those the price alone is a turn off as you would spen close to 10-15k for a legal ak47

no automatic weapons for personal use were allowed to be manufactured after the firearms safety act of the mid-early 80s (it was earmarked in the bill which primary intent was to allow for mail order ammunition sales)

i have an AK47 semi auto (but bump shooting gives me my fullauto fix)


you can buy the full auto conversion online for the ak (ftf industries i think) but wheras posession is legal including th templat for drilling the extra rivet and all the parts to do so

utilizing them however is a federal offense

the ar is just a sear and a bolt filing and its all drop in and owning the sear alone is against the law from what i have been told

Just went through this thread and caught this. It depends on where you live. In NYS its illegal to own an assault rifle which says you cannot have 2 or more of the following:
1)bayonet
2)folding stock
3)extended clip
4)attached grenade launcher (lol)
5) certain barrel length I believe

I think there are more which I cant think of.

I just got my upper today and I found something a little interesting. I found what looks to be some sort of white flaky stuff the sling swivel area. I don't know if it's some sort of corrosion that's building up or something else. Has anyone else seen something like this before on other AR's or another POF? Should I be worried?

My first upper

It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like it may be left over 'bluing' salts. I usually use a brush (nylon not a metal one) and cleaning solvent to get it off, then I usually go over the metal parts with Clenzoil. If it is, and you don't clean it off, it could corrode your parts. Most of the time when I get new parts, especially for the AR, I clean them really well before I put them on. But again, if you are unsure, take it to your local Firearms shop or give POF a call.
