Lightening links?

[Honey Badger]

Yes I know it has been done.... BUT.... I can't get it through my thick head. IF I were able to get one could I use it? OR, is it available only to SOTs and the like?

Yes, you can buy a registered lightning link for about $7000 and use it in your AR. The cheap ones are either post-samples (SOT/LE/Mil only) or illegal ones. There is no cheap and legal way to go full auto.

BUT $7000.00 is better than $15K for an M16.............. Thanks sir.

Here is some good info on lightning links: http://www.quarterbore.com/nfa/lightninglink.html

Also, I would recommend you get the KNS lighning link re-enforcer to protect it from breaking: http://www.knsprecisioninc.com/gun-parts-and-accessories/kns-products/lightning-link-re-enforcer.html

And find an SP-1 bolt.

Yes, I forgot that part. The link works off of a Colt SP1 style bolt carrier.

You also lose semi auto unless you get creative like quarterbore. Most LL installs are safe/full.

My choice for full auto AR goodness goes in this order.

1. RR
2. RDIAS
3. RLL

I think I'd rather have $7k in my pocket and a bump fire stock instead of a RLL.

Gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks Dustin, and CAR.

I think I'd rather have $6650 in my pocket and a bump fire stock instead of a RLL.

Fixed it for you.

What he said.
The Slide Fire stocks are pretty stinkin' fun.
