DP's Gun deal of the week

Dragonpaco · 12-20-2008, 02:43 PM

i still want my gun section, but for now i'll just post up the best deal on firearms i can find this week.

The Skorpion parts kit- $195

this kit includes every part you need to build your own semi auto version of the soviet era machine pistol. contains enough US compliance parts to keep the ATF off your ass and is about 1/3 of the price of buying one already assembled. i'm picking one of these up next payday.

i've never shot one of these but anyone who has, let me hear some opinions

Since it has a stock do you have to register it as an SBR?

Dragonpaco · 12-20-2008, 04:59 PM

nope, it is classified as a pistol

Dragonpaco · 12-20-2008, 05:04 PM

the colt 1911 has an optional bolt on stock but it's still a pistol. i think the sbr laws state that it has to be manufactured as a rifle and be modified

um I believe The National Firearms Act defines a rifle as a shoulder-fired weapon, which uses a rifled bore to discharge a shot. According to NFA 34, a Title I rifle has a barrel in excess of 18 inches, and an overall length in excess of 26 inches. A short-barrel rifle is a rifle with a barrel shorter than 16 inches, or an overall length less than 26 inches.

I would write the ATF to confirm or deny that it will not have to be registered, or that you need to fill out a form to register it as a SBR.

all the shops i have seen them in sells them as a pistol. the shoulder stock is removable and it shoots pistol ammunition. the skorpion has always been a pistol, just like the cobray m-11 is a pistol

however as long as you don't put the stock on it is a pistol. so i suggest the stock stays off

a letter asking them about the legality of a firearm is nothing they get them all the time for clarifaction of rules and regs. Once you receive a letter from them even if they later claim to change their mind you have written proof and they cant really say shit.
