It's a slab of aluminum 80% machined into a gun. It is not a firearm; you buy it and finish it yourself, quite literally building your own gun. As such, it has no serial, never must be registered and can NOT be sold to ANYONE as it can ONLY be possessed by it's creator.

It is very much different than a stripped lower.

You can stamp your own unique serial number and a name and address of manufacture and sell it. But it must be a private sale after the fact and not explicitly made for resell which requires a FFL.

Yes - there's extra crap you can go through (and stamping a serial requires extra work with the ATF, IIRC) but I'm posting the simplest answer: you build it for yourself and no one else. ;)

The viridian green laser/holster combo for my p22 showed up today. Cant wait to go and sight it in, looks much much nicer than the walther laser that I owned with my previous p22.

I got a green laser.
Has the supposedly standard weaver mount rails. Wont fit on my gun. Its possible one or both of them isnt built correctly. As cheap as the laser is, I think thats the problem.

Just got this upper back. Who said you couldn't get any AR parts?

What's the piece attached to the rails near the muzzle mounted at an angle? Looks like it sticks far enough forward to prevent you from mounting a surefire can on that brake.

@kazaam:

Wow, you are braver than I am. I have not detailed stripped the SP01 at all, it intimidates me.

@RampantAndroid:

It's a flashlight mount. You make a good point. I'll have to see whenever it is I get a can. I think it hangs far enough to the right, but I don't know how far back the can sits relative to the brake when attached.

It must be backorder Thursday.

Orders I placed over a month ago for 15 PMAGs and a case of M855 shipped.

Not detail stripped per say. :( Take off the grips, push up the lanyard loop, push out the retaining pin, remove the magazine plate from the bottom, pull out the little "plunger" and the mainspring, put new spring in and do everything in reverse. :p Though its easier said than done. Those parts are under so much pressure.

But im gonna get a race hammer and new sear (and probably new trigger) and ill have to detail strip, which does indeed seem freaky.

Some advice for the detail stripping newbies. Do it inside a plastic bag or something or expect to lose springs.

It should encompass the entire brake. Also, the newer surefire cans use a new mounting system :rolleyes:

Surely you aren't going to go through all that trouble and neglect to put in a SAO trigger? :)
