Swiss Arms Questions

[aftermidnight]

A few questions for those in the know about Classic Greens and such...

Of the upper or lower, which part is considered the receiver (registered)?

Are uppers available for purchase on their own?

Is the rifles design conducive to swapping uppers and lowers?

Thanks guys!

the lower would be the reciever. Haven't really seen uppers for sale as I don't think they're really sold that way unlike AR's.

No, the upper is the registered part. Its just the opposite of the AR.

x2 The upper is registered componant. The rifle separates by two push pins not unlike the AR series so swapping would be possible.

While you could technically switch uppers/lowers around, it isn't financially feasible to do so, especially given the fact that the upper is actually considered the firearm under our law.

I saw a guy on here once that had the Sig 556 lower on his swiss arms. Looked like an abomination, but it was than able to take the 10 round LAR-15 mags.

If the 556 lower isn't the controlled part, can they be imported?

If you can find some and someone to import it, yes! The US 556 is the same way the registration is on the upper.

Sig 556 lower and AR upper question

Not trying to hijack the thread, but:

Can a 556 lower (non-registered) be mated to a AR upper (non-registered)?

Not at all

Also, the restricted uppers (carbine+CQB) won't work with the lowers that are fitted to the non-restricted rifles. This was done deliberately to prevent the switching of uppers being used to restrict the entire line. I read this here a couple of years ago, the guys at TSE would know better.

Thanks for all the responses.. Ian had the right idea of where I was goin with this.
