You have to do more than just register it before you can legally SBR it.eric_t12 said:

Yeah, isn't "Coharie" Todd Bailey's wife's maiden name or something like that?

IGNORANCE ALERT (e.g., my own ignorance, that is): I thought the rule was "once a receiver is registered as a pistol, always a pistol". Is that not true?
Once registered as a pistol, always a pistol yes.
Unfortunately, to add a stock or vertical fore-grip legally, you must register the pistol as an AOW (Any Other Weapon). This is a $5 tax stamp, not a $200 one.
Depending on where you live, you may be SOL though. No AOW are allowed in Michigan, for example

Id love to know...
If this thing works and is painted like all the other Bobcat, SW, etc copies with a can of Krylon....
Sorry, I don't trust a business that has to change it's name every few months to stay one step ahead of the mad customers. Aren't they now Red Rock arms as well?
Sorry. Would love one of these clones, but not from these people. I would not trust the gun to not explode just from being put together by an untrained dyslexic chimp.

Adding a fore-grip with no stock = AOW = $5 tax stamp
Adding a stock with or without fore-grip = SBR = $200 tax stamp
If you do a Form 1 and add a stock to your pistol to make it a SBR, you also have to engrave your name, city & state on the reciever in order to comply with BATFE regulations. You have to engrave your info onto the reciever, because you are the manufacturer of the SBR.
Thanks for the correction. AOWs are specifically off-limits here in MI, so I've never really seriously considered one.
SBR's may be legal here, but since I'd rather spend the $200 on ammo, I haven't researched it very thoroughly...I was just parroting what has been repeated here so many times before, albeit incorrectly

He said he bought one from Coharie not Bobcat.
But yea bobcat is now red rock (correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is not to hide from the customer but to avoid a lawsuit over the name), but coharie is the new special weapons.
Mine functions 100% & 99.8% of people would be hard pressed to tell that it's not a real HK product & note the discrepancies.
The vast majority of the new Coharie products have been very good products aside from a slightly subpar finish (can't say it's really mcuh worse than some other manufacturers these days like FN).
Try the product before you bash it.
soooo right
FWIW I'd get the paperwork in soon. I found the gun not particulary suitable or fun to shoot in pistol form, I only shot it enough to confirm its functionality.

Well, hope you don't get a lemon.
here it is
i know its been forever since i posted, but a deployment lasts soooooooooo long... :s....
finally i get to see what i paid so much for!
since this picture was taken i've added the Front Rail system, BnT mount and a cheapo red dot that works pretty well, and the SBR paperwork is being finished when i finish up my army time here in Fort Hood.
NOTE:
it fires amazing. not one hickup, using American Eagle 9mm, and the factory mag it came with. i bought some HK LEO mags, but didn't get a chance to try them out...
fired approximately 60 rounds. only had a short time to try it out last time i shot it, and this time it was just too dang cold out to go shooting for me.

They are great, I have a ca89k and its a early one with a 2 digit serial number, let me tell you it works more reliable than my old hk94 i had!It's already all paid for, i'm just waiting for the little guy to arrive atmy FFL.
The full-size pistol version, so all it needs is to be registered and i can put a stock on it to SBR it.
truly sweet...
I just had to gloat

What if you remove the stock on a SBR? would you be in possession of a unregiserd AOW???
