No , i'm not joking , i don't live here . I just read the last 7 pages of the "Dlask dispute" thread and noticed that you offered nothing there either . I just read , today that the SMD 12 went restricted and until 'ponts' post didn't know that only a handfull were made and that Dlask swapped recievers . Thanks ponts . Enquiring about my 8.5" was no joke and in this thread there are differing opinions , excluding your post which offered nothing . It isn't restricted with the pistol grip , period . It isn't restricted with the pistol grip but you may get arrested and have it siezed until you prove otherwise . It isn't restricted but Joe Dlask recommends putting the full buttstock on it just in case . Now that it's all cleared up i guess i'll go with choice #2 , leave the pistol grip on and prove that it isn't restricted if it gets siezed . What do you think badboybeeson , good choice or another joke ?
