It for damn sure aint something that "you could put back in or take out when you saw someone coming". Putting a plug back into a shotgun mag is quite a bit easier than the gas tube on an AR. Granted what mrbb was alluding to was sheer stupidity (I believe he said so himself) but he is in essence correct as far as the law goes. I personally can't see why anyone would want to do it myself other than just being a smartass as there is absolutely no advantage to a manually operated AR over anything.
yes I agree here, I am NOT saying it should be done, nor is it worth doing, you;d just be asking for trouble and WHY do IT
but if one wanted to it legally can be done was my point
and was ONLY sort of tossed out there due to the one reply about WHAT IF I only had one rifle
well if that's all you could afford and have, then legally you could do this
I would NOT waste my time, push my luck, or hassle a warden to make a call on this, its DUMB 100% IMO
BUT then again a LOT of laws are DUMB too
and well, PEOPLE LOL
but the law is what it is?
