Smith & Wesson AR-15 Not Allowed

edited August 2023 in Ask the Experts

My granddaughter is required to purchase her own AR-15 after completing her POST certification. Her PD does not allow S&W and FN ARs for some reason. Anybody have any ideas why that is? She is small, and is looking for a SRB (Short Barrel Rifle) and S&W seems to have exactly what she wants with an 11.5 inch bbl for law enforcement only.

    You should probably ask them why..

    Sounds like a Glock or SIG shop

    It may have to do with state or local law requiring PD firearms meet the same requirements as those bought by regular folks. It would help if you told us her state/county.

    Is she willing to wait a year for the SBR tax stamp?

    Darned near every AR maker has a 'pistol' version of their product so a brand specific choice seems a bit odd.

    Still haven't answered the NFA stamp of approval comment?

     "If the department is allowing her to register the NFA item with the agency then your wait is under 24 hours. "

    Wouldn't the dept have to OWN the serial number to get a quickie pass on the NFA stamp?
