Upper or lower -which is restricted

[timandkimandshea]

Sorry to have to ask, but is it the upper, or lower, or both that is restricted on an Norinco CQ with a 10.5" barrel ?? Does the barrel length even factor into it?
Thanks

only the lower is restricted.

lower is restricted. Upper (barrel length) would factor into it if the lower was NR

The lower on an ar15 is the gun. And the regulated part. Not the upper.

All ar15 are restricted, so the barrel doesn't play a factor with regard to length.

Ok, thanks for confirming what I thought.

The lower is the firearm. If you purchase a lower, it is registered either as a stripped lower, or a complete. If you complete a stripped, you have to notify the Centre. When registered as a complete firearm, CFC wants to know barrel length. Some people have multiple barrels of different lengths, so that record is updated to either have all the lengths the person has, or "various", if they'll allow it. That'll allow the lower to be attached to whatever upper you want to use that day.
