Here is a guide with photos on how to identify whether or not an AR-15 magazine is pre-ban.  Thanks to ARK for this great information.  ARK has inspected over 500 pre-ban magazines and all of the magazines that he has seen have confirmed what is included in this article.   Read the rest of this entry »

We have begun our Project AR-15 with the purchase of a stripped lower receiver! This is the first in a series of posts where we will take building an NY compliant AR-15 that is still fun to shoot, looks great, and built well.

To get started, we have purchased a stripped lower receiver. The one we found was a Sun Devil Mfg lower. The unique part about the Sun Devil lower is that it has a tension screw that adjust the tension between the lower receiver and the upper receiver. This definitely looks to be a cool feature and should help, possibly, with the accuracy of the gun.

For this build I think we are going to go with a 20″ style A3 rifle for some longer range shooting. Stay tuned for updates to this project as we piece it together!
