    Need help, Im new

    So I'm a fairly new owner of the PS90 and have a few questions

    I would like to possibly shorten the barrel like a P90 and have no idea where to start. or where to even get the muzzle break like it

    Now i have seen on some other threads about SBR'ing? i have no idea what that is.

    So if anyone can help please do.

    Thanks
    Eric

    Welcome to FNF.

    This ought to get you spending money.

    http://cmmginc.secure-mall.com/shop/...67095&cat=115&

    Don't do anything until you have BATFE approved paperwork or you'll get a trip to the pokey (in the exit) real quick.

    SBR: Short barreled rifle.

    sooooo how hard is that to install? and would it be easy to switch back to other barrels if i wanted to?

    Also how bad would it effect range going from 16 inch to 10.3

    one more question, not to be a pest

    are these barrels good? i mean they arent FN factory, but is it better than taking the barrel i have now and cutting it off?

    Not hard at all. It's so easy a caveman could do it.

    Depends. After the gun has been fired it makes it hard to remove the FH, so it may or may not be easy.

    Not at all. The gun is around a 200 yard weapon with either a 16" or 10.3" barrel. Nothing to worry about.

    The CMMG barrels are the same as the factory P90 barrels. Cutting the factory lined barrel can be done but FN and most others suggest that you don't do it.

    One last item as Sarge has already pointed out. Do not do a barrel swap without an approved Form 1 in your possession. Even removal of the factory blind pin might place the gun in the SBR status and place you in jail.

    You can buy the barrel prior to getting the approved form.

    Removing the pin with the short barrel in your possession without the approved form is about 10 years in Federal lockup and 250,000 dollar fine.

    And you have to have the approved form prior to starting the conversion, or see penalty above.

    So if I read your post correctly, you are saying that it is legal and acceptable for me to own a SBR barrel as long as I leave the blind pin in on my regular barrel? I thought there was a law on intent to SBR?


    If so I may have a purchase here REAL soon!

    You must have the PS90 confused with the AR-15.

    As long as the blind pin has not been tampered with you can not easily convert the PS90 to a SBR.

    The AR on the other hand is just push two pins and pop on another upper.

    We've covered this a few times on here before.

    Ah that makes sense, that is probably the law I was thinking of!

    Thanks and if I need help with the form 1, I will let you know.

    I know this question has also been asked but I couldn't find a good answer. on a PS90 will SBR'ing the rifle lead to the bullets having drastically different trajectories? or is it still as accurate as always?

    I THINK it will alter the trajectories but not impact accuracy? opinions?
