I’ve been waiting for over a month for my registration on my now-restricted WK180 and everytime I call I gotta walk these people through what I’m even doing as if they’ve never encountered a change of classification before. I’d like to take this thing to the range to make sure it functions properly and I’m wondering what the law says about transporting it as a NR (still have the original upper/barrel) and assembling the restricted upper at the range and tearing it apart to take it home. Sounds sketch but if that’s illegal i obviously won’t do it but I really want to function test this thing. Tips?

Um, how did your WK180 become restricted? Change barrel? Did you get it verified?

Runkle of the Bailey addresses your law hack in one of his videos. Essentially if you have to ask the question the answer is no.

I made a post of my build if you check my profile I go into it more. And fair rule of thumb. Better to not risk it even if there is a loophole on some laws anyways. I really don’t desire a conversation with the cops over firearm laws anyways

Nobody wins that conversation. Not even the cops.
