So you've just been given $1000 to build an AR pistol. With the ultimate goal to build a suppressed SBR once legal to do so. Let's hear your plan..
And before anyone complains that they can do it for cheaper, think about optics. If it would only take 1/2 of that to get there, throw a RDS on it to meet the bill. If you think the right pistol would take $2000 to get there, have at it. I want to hear what others would do in this situation.
Extra points for links and in depth info/specs. But let's try to keep it 223/556 or 300BLK (not sold on BLK due to availability).
Since he states, quite clearly, that he's building a pistol, he'd only need a stamp for the supressor for the time being...but: he ALSO clearly states he's looking at getting a supressor later...he doesn't need any tax stamps right now.
And me?
I'd build a 9mm PDW; 8" or shorter barrel, bare-bones float tube (that will accept rail attachments for a light)...put a Vortex red dot on it, GTG.
Been drooling over the Sig MCX pistol.
Sig Sauer MCX 300BLK Pistol 9"
Wonder if they would drop the price for selling it with just a buffer tube. Not a fan of the brace.
Thanks for the info and research.
At this point Im really considering bumping up my budget. Ive been drooling over the new Sig MCX pistol in 300BLK. If this goes as planned, Il get the 300BLK in FDE and have a little range time with it while I wait for my SBR and suppressor stamp to come back. The MCX blows my $1000 budget out of the water. But I honestly cant find a better rifle for what im looking for. Should make for a bad ass truck gun.
First thing id do would be get rid of the damn brace

Just filled out and paid for my trust. Not sure how long it will take to come back. But once it does, I plan to buy the SBR model of the MCX with a 9" barrel. Leave it in NFA jail at the dealer, and submit for both stamps at once. That way all I have to do is buy the suppressor once the stamps come back.
100% correct. You cannot submit a Form 4 without a make, model, serial, size, and caliber. You do not just "buy a stamp" and use it to submit a Form. You submit a form without a stamp, and when approved the form comes back with a voided stamp affixed.
Okay, trust should be back in 24hr. So I guess the next step is buy an SBR and leave it in jail. I don't plan on getting the suppressor until I heal up from the MCX purchase. ll wait until the first stamp for SBR comes back. Then Ill get the suppressor paid and wait.
It'll be a different process when you get the suppressor if you wait until the Form 4 comes back.
FD-258 Fingerprint card (for each responsible person on trust), 2x2 Color Photo (for each responsible person on trust), Form whatever-the-hell-number-they-come-up-with-for-identification (for each responsible person on trust), Something else i'm missing, trust document, copy of the Form 4 and ID forms/articles you submit sent to your CLEO, and likely something else i'm forgetting.
I thought it was pretty easy to get a suppressor if you have a trust. Was watching a video last night from Silencer Shop. Looked like they pretty much do it all for you.
maybe you can sweet talk your dealer into a sort of layaway and file the Form 4, but i personally think that's a terrible idea as there are far too many who will see the can, forget about the arrangement, and say "HEY! Here's one! I think i'll sell it!" and now three people are screwed.
If your goal is a suppressed SBR without having to go by the 41p/f changes hour only option is to buy everything right now.
You don't have the 9 months to wait for one stamp to come back then send the other.
You're looking at 6-8 weeks to f3 something to a shop if it isn't already in stock, at least that's what I waited last year. So buy can, wait 8 weeks, THEN send in f4 and wait 9 more months. You ain't got that kind of time since I'm assuming this was your whole purpose in starting a trust.
Just got my trust paperwork back from the attorney. What a mess of garbage. All of this paperwork makes my head hurt.
I also found an MCK in 300blk with a 16" barrel. Ill probably be cutting it down once the stamp comes back. I sent an email to Silencer Shop as well to get their recommendation on a can. Looks like the ball is rolling.
Just got the Trust notarized. Now its time to pay for the rifle and can.
I know my initial post was about the $1000 range. But as it turns out, I will be spending just a hair over $3000 when all is said and done. And THEN I need an optic and ammo.
So the Griffin Optimus was on backorder. So I went ahead and ordered the Liberty Mystic X. Seems like it should be a winner. Too bad the name sounds like a douche. Liberty Mystic X
I also managed to pay for the new MCX this morning. I ended up going with the 16" barrel in 300BLK.
