wire stock on semi m11 sbr

FN FAL · July 22, 2012, 21:35

does anyone know if it's possible to make a cobray wire stock fit on a semi auto m11 that i plan to sbr, i know the receiver needs to be cut for the stock but in the semi auto the trigger bar is in the way and i wondered if there was a different trigger setup i could use to allow the wire stock to work, i know the stock isn't practical but this is a semi m11, not exactly practical in the first place

All things are possible, but why pay $200 to SBR a gun not worth $200? Really, a PPSH-43 or Suomi would be a much better candidate for SBR. And of course you can never un-SBR a gun. Once done it is forever meaning transferring it will be a bitch. I would sit down and think this through.

i have thought it through and i want to sbr my m11, i don't care about practicality, and i don't intend to sell it, i will use a vz58 or uzi stock if i have to, but i would rather use the factory wire stock, and please send me links to any non hesse m11s for under $200, i will buy every single one of them

Uh, you CAN "un-SBR a gun". You can "undo" it and then submit the proper paperwork to have it removed from the NFA registery.

yea, all you have to do is send them a letter saying you have changed the configuration and to remove it from the nfa registry, though i might have to put a carbine upper on it if i ever wanted to remove it, not sure if it could ever be a pistol again because of the stock, from what i've been reading it looks like it will be too involved to add the factory wire stock so i might go a different direction with this gun

My bad, you can remove a SBR from the list but it requires getting rid of any parts that make it a SBR. You do not have to notify the ATF that you have done so, but it is good sense to do so.

Maybe the M11 is worth more in PA, but around here 200 is about it. I got rid of mine years ago and have never looked back as it was a POS in my opinion. But it is your money and your gun. Feel free to use them as you see legally fit. You do not need my blessing.

I don't live far from PA. I just saw one at a gun shop for a little over 5.
I also had one years ago and sold it. It's not much of a shooter, basically an over weight pistol, but looked very cool!
