What's going on with the stock on the older guy? Kind of looks like it attaches to the lower part of the lower receiver.
What's wrong is he also has no rear sight.
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

It's one of those goofy bump fire stocks.

They're both facing the same direction. Also, who's in overwatch?

Looks like some kind of holo sight under the older guys left hand.

The first two guys I don't see a problem with other than some interesting things about the old guys rifle.  My pic though, probably illegal AOW (maybe he has a tax stamp...  maybe), crocs, and no rear sight.  Not the image or person we want.  If he could afford a tax stamp he could afford an MBUS...

Is that something mounted under the barrel out past the front sight post?

I don't see a front sight, either.


If you really wanted to be a one-man (or two-man) security force for your local recruiting office, would it possibly make more sense to sit in a car, some place with a good field of view/fire?

Nope, that's a Sig brace on the back of that thing.  So technically a pistol until he shoulders it (because again, the BATFEces got all asswipey and decided that it wasn't an SBR until they decided it was.)

ETA:   :facepalm: Of course, that doesn't account for the VFG, which is a no-no on a pistol.  So yeah, you're right.  AOW...   That's what I get for not looking closely....  And yeah, the lack of any apparent sights makes me wonder if he's just gonna go all gangsta aiming and hence doesn't feel the need for sights.

Second pic, take your damn booger hook off the damn trigger.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

It would also be nice if he wouldn't nap on guard duty.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Not quite.  

In the definition of an AOW, it mentions weapon capable of being concealed.  The ATF has long held that a weapon over 26" in over all length is not "concealable" (Unless you actually conceal one, but that's a different story.)

Most AR pistols, with a ~10" barrel and sig brace get over the 26" mark, so adding a VFG doesn't make an AOW, it converts the pistol to a regular title 1 "firearm".  (measure twice).  Same deal as that birds head grip and 14" barreled shotgun you see floating around.

The particular AR on Mr. Day-Glo looks long enough to be legal, but without a measuring stick I wouldn't swear to it.  Nothing forgives the Crocs though.


ETA: Link to OEM firearm with the discussed features and a determination letter explaining the legalese.

Actually that shirt's not a bad idea. People who are doing this of their own volition should be wearing something very distinctive so they can be easily identified to police if a situation erupts. As in "the civilian overwatchers are wearing fluorescent green T shirts!"

Sorry, but he's actually working very hard to make sure that does not happen.  Left hand over extended and indexed trigger finger to prevent "creep".

I swear, it seems all of you get your tactical training at brick-and-mortar schools with recognized instructors, as opposed to us Souper Extreem Tier Two (one better than Tier One :P) Operators who pick up tactics and techniques by osmosis over the internet.  Read it once and we can perform it flawlessly while being attacked from the front by a flamethrower and from the rear by our mother in law.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.
