What is hbar rifle

The design of the new handguard was taken from a mids design. Another feature of the M16A2 is a burst-fire device, that replaces the fully-automatic capability of the M16A1. Unfortunately this ruins the trigger pull, but of course it is not a feature of the semi-automatic only ARA2 intended for civilian target shooters.

The A2 also includes various other new features, such as a round forward assist. Note the lack of slots in the base of the flash hider, so that it acts as a compensator. The USMC blamed this on poor prototype ammunition, which is possible. The US Army issued a report heavily criticising the M16A2 for various reasons, an overly complex rear sight with no setting for less than yard shooting, a burst-fire system that made the mechanism too complex, the fast rifling twist leading to very short barrel life and so on.

The Army gave in and started buying the M16A2 in , two years after the Marines. And this is why these civilian models became available! Members List Social Groups Calendar. April 8th, , PM Hopalong. Is threshold of "HBAR-ness" based on what's stamped on the lower, overall configuration, both, or something else?

Moving forward, I feel like we really need a very clear explanation from either legislators or the MSP. The right's existence is all the reason he needs. April 8th, , PM buzzsaw.

Hop - I think that by changing a HBAR heavy barrel into a hybrid, you are thereby significantly altering the gun and it is no longer the original that was manufactured I've heard that this causes it to then fall under an "other" under NFA, but I dont think that would be correct.

But as far as I can tell, it's pretty silly overall. I don't know but isn't this just a rehash of the Federal Assault Weapons ban?

What happened back then And there is only one solution to that problem. April 8th, , PM lx1x. April 8th, , PM TheYetti. Originally Posted by pbharvey. April 8th, , PM Arcamm. Look at the Colt AR It's sold by Colt with a heavy barrel and is listed in their catalogs as a heavy barrel. So what is it? These do not have a bipod and are semi-automatic only. Both firearms are very similar, only to be distinguished at a glance by the bipod on the HBAR models.
