AR47 Pistol / SBR ?

With no stock, you can conceal carry a 553P. Just fits in some soft side attache cases. Wouldn't that freak some gun control nuts out!

Haven't see a straight handle, so unfortunately I can't help there. Good luck.

The really nice thing is with the stock folded it's the same length as the pistol. Just a little thicker. Pull it out of the case/bag, unfold stock and you're ready for FergudishuBaltimoreLosAngeles rioting.

You can fire it while folded too. Unlike the AR folding buffer tubes.

I saw an interesting backpack that you could store a SG552/553 inside. It looks like an ordinary student backpack, but when you unzip it and pull it over your head it becomes a tactical vest with mag pouches and the weapon is strapped to your chest.

Nice! Do you happen to recall manufacturer name or the site where you saw this?

I think this was it, made by a company called Snigeldesign?? Never really heard of them and they seem to be based in Sweden.

Dunno whether it's good or a piece of crap or what but a SG553 (with or without a stock) would be just the right size for it.

That looks interesting. Thanks much for digging up the info. I did a search but could only find conventional backpack rigs, nothing like this one.

I'll see if I can track down a current source.

Thanks again.

Found a couple of European stores listing it. One store may not sell except to LEO's. About 400 euros. Very nice, but a tad pricey right now.

Eek. 400 Euro = $443. Plus the shipping fee, too beaucoup.

Do you know how the lower was classified on the ATF form when you purchased it? You would want to ensure it was not classified as a rifle. It should not have been, but sometimes mistakes are made.

email answer from Runner RUnner:

"All lowers are recorded as other. That means you may build your lower into a pistol or you may build it into a rifle. It is your choice. "

Good to know you are in the clear. ATF does not have much in the way of tolerance.
