well I know 3 guys that did it went to court in lackawanna county ,m and won
its the same deal is if you modify any firearm
you can make it so it works as the legally defined wording
and it reads must be manually operated
thus , again removing gas tube, makes a gas operated AR, a single shot, and MUST be manually operated to work
thus, meets criteria
I again think MOST won;t do this due to NOT wanting the grief, of fighting to prove the right here?
and also, WHY do it, its sort of DUMB,
I am NOT promoting this at all
but am saying it is possible to do so
and again I seen it first hand, get tossed out of court when it was taken there >
SHow me a case where it was NOT!
NOT trying to debate or argue, I just know what I seen with my two eye's and the verdict the judge threw out!
this was in 1998-1998 era
also, I do not see it needing to be permanently changed, as when you hunt with a shotgun, you need a plug , but it can be removed< , same like mod here, as an example
so gun can be used other area's!
