I am also considering adding .300 Blackout as I may consider another AR upper and adding 9mm Lever release as I would like to try both.

If I buy an AR15 in .223/5.56 what do I request on the variation if I want .300 and .22 uppers rather than a full rifle ?

I was also considering adding suppressors for each of the above calibres?
Any advice on the above or is the FLO likely to query these in any way?
N.B. Lever release AR's are stand alone guns and the uppers/lowers cannot be used with any other AR's.

Always add sound moderators to any increase/new firearms as if you decide not to buy them you can do 1 for 1 swaps for other stuff without having to pay for a fee :good:

What other stuff?, just other suppressor's?

If you want a 'proper' cartridge for a Mauser the 9,3x62 fits the bill...

Duely noted :-) , I am just concerned that the FLO will not see my need to have all I desire in one go.

9,3x62 - my x61 was a type, now corrected.

It is a superb cartridge, sadly frowned upon by many FEOs.

Or other guns :good: I did a variation from a .22lr sound moderator to a Section 1 pump action shotgun, free as it was a 1 for 1 :grin:

These are usually sold as "barrelled action [calibre]", but I have seen one force that insisted on listing as barrel, bolt and receiver (three separate slots!).
The whole licensing system is not really designed for the AR's different design, if it's not lock, stock and barrel then it's won't fit the system. Some FEOs and departments are still a bit in the dark about the whole AR thing.

Oh,
Don't tell the FEO what rifle you're thinking of buying, never give more info than specifically asked for.
I know of at least one force that will try to stop you buying the AR7 if they know that's what you want.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.
