So I'm going to buy an AR15

**nightracer** · 07-29-2006, 11:13 AM

Do I have to get any special licenses for such a weapon in the state of Georgia?

**TeeJay** · 07-29-2006, 11:20 AM

**JITB** · 07-29-2006, 11:21 AM

Nope. It's looked upon as a standard rifle. You need to be 18.

I LOVE my Bushmaster M4A3:

**The Golden Child** · 07-29-2006, 11:53 AM

i have a license to kill ..

**nightracer** · 07-29-2006, 11:55 AM

Haha Ruiner, I'm well over 18.

I know anything barrel shorter than 16" is illegal I guess that is the only thing to worry about? I am considering modifying the upper half. Any laws regulating that out here?

Under 16" isn't illegal, but you would need to get a Class III weapon (and pay the hefty price) in order to do so. The way that Bushmaster got around that is I have a 14.5" barrel, but the supressor on the end is 1.5" and permanently welded to the barrel. Thus, it is 16" long, technically.

there is NO "suppressor" on the end of the barrel, its a flash hider. the barrel is 16" long

honestly man do what a friend of mine did. buy the parts separately and put it together yourself....

A) its cheaper
B) no one knows about it

only problem is: obtaining the lower reciever. thats the only part of the weapon you have to have the "license" for

It's a flash supressor/muzzle break/compensator. Sorry I did not clarify. I'm not some gun "newb".

**bdydrpdmazda** · 07-29-2006, 05:42 PM

I hate my M4A4, maybe because Ive carried it everywhere Ive went for the past year.

**bdydrpdmazda** · 07-29-2006, 05:43 PM

HOLY HUGE PICTURE BATMAN, I FORGOT TO RESIZE IT.

**PhAtBoYMr2** · 07-29-2006, 05:51 PM

whats the difference between an m4a4 and a ar15??? is it that the m4a is a fully automatic?

Eh, yes and no. AR comes from Armalite and not Assault Rifle. The M4 Carbine is a family of firearms tracing its lineage back to earlier carbine M16, all based on the original AR-15 made by ArmaLite. The AR-15 was first made in both auto and semi auto configs. Then, the M-16 came out (about the same exact thing, really). The M4 Carbine is just a shorter AR-15/M-16.

Honestly, there's really not much difference between the guns. They all look the same and most of the parts can be used between them. Most M16s and M4s are full auto/semi/3rnd burst. Most AR-15s are semi auto.

the only versions of the M4 and M16 that come in full auto were the M4A1 and the M16A1, after that they only had semi auto and three round burst.

I know this, but I didn't want to go into detail. However, I do believe that M16A3, however rare, was fully auto as well.

Negative...

M16A1....full auto, non-removable carrying handle

M16A2...only change was that the full auto was removed and replaced with a 3-round burst selection

M16A3....New picatinny rail mounting system takes the place of the handguards

M16A4....removable carrying handle to allow for newer optics to be mounted on rail system

**ueyedgr8tness** · 07-29-2006, 06:56 PM

well i love the ar its the bomb hey man were u getting it and whats the price.

**Ryno** · 07-29-2006, 08:18 PM

I have a Bushmaster AR-15 with about 500 rounds through it. I love the gun but I am moving and trying to sell it. I am asking $600 and if you're interested let me know.

**nightracer** · 07-30-2006, 12:03 AM

Do I need to register a gun after I buy it?

No. There is NO gun registration in GA.

**YokotaS13** · 07-30-2006, 03:48 AM

isnt a Gal 5 just a shorter m16 fully auto? I shot a gal 5 , m-16, and an m4 while we were deployed for hte hell of it, and i like an m16 better than an m4...but hte m4 is quieter

The M4 is just a shorty M16...

**bdydrpdmazda** · 07-30-2006, 04:32 AM

The M16 is an outdated piece of garbage, the only people that get issued those in the military now are the paperwork bitches and other people who never use their guns. It only has one advantage and thats long range accuracy but it would take an expert to notice the difference at anything less than a 300 meter shot.

**YokotaS13** · 07-30-2006, 06:07 AM

i hit the cans with everythign i shot lol

**VTECin5th** · 07-30-2006, 09:08 AM

I got Bibie's for Sale if u Want

**Julio** · 07-30-2006, 03:40 PM

talking about guns. I unloaded one of my 9's yesterday at the range, 2 boxes of ammo.. it felt good. yep, sure did.

**rollin_s2k** · 07-30-2006, 07:27 PM

fuck bushmaster go with the COLT, I have two myself. if it isnt suppressed or full auto you dont need a class 3 arms liscense. you can keep it .223 or go gay and swap out the receiver for one that shoots 9mm. anyway reliable gun and fun to shoot

**nightracer** · 07-31-2006, 03:18 AM

I thought you didn't need a license for guns in GA? Why do you need a license for the lower receiver?

**SL65AMG** · 07-31-2006, 10:40 PM

the lower reciever is what makes the gun work. the upper "reciever assembly" consists of the barrel and the upper reciever. ..... i guess thats a bit confusing.

see photo(s).
Upper Reciever :

Lower reciever :

^^^ that is the part you need an FFL to get.

**YokotaS13** · 07-31-2006, 06:33 AM

so WTF is a gal 5?

**5thgcelica** · 07-31-2006, 06:53 AM

m4's are fun to shoot.
