This project only came to be after inspiration from yours truly, NVISN! 

Alot of you have already seen my "53-202a" discussion thread so I won't through that whole thing again. I will repost the E-mail I received back from Sgt. William B. Krauss #256.

Mr. H*****k:
In response to your question concerning the construction of an AR-15 type pistol my office is unable to provide legal advice or interpretation regarding state statutes. You are correct in that Connecticut General Statute 53-202a(a)(B) requires that a pistol must have a detachable magazine to be considered an assault weapon. If you permanently removed the ability of the firearm to accept a detachable magazine it would no longer have the foundation characteristics required in the statute. As a word of caution I would suggest that there is no question that the magazine is permanently attached once your firearm has been constructed.

If you have any further questions feel free to contact me.

Translation: By removing the "abilty to accept a dettachable magazine" eliminates it from the AWB!

This is my resolutioin to this issue of permanetly attaching the magazine.
Started off trying to find a good location to make the mag release button in-operable. After tossing around many ideas on how to go about this I came to a conclusion. Easier for me to explain in the photos than it is to type it,lol.

























After completion, I did a function check and everything functions correctly.
By doing this modification it allows me to have all of the evil features. :twisted:

Parts list:
- AR-Stoner 1:9 7.5'' threaded barrel.
- ACE Pistol buffer kit.
- Troy low pro .750 gas block. (Yet to be installed)
- DPMS Pistol gas tube. (Yet to be installed)
- PSA Lower receiver.
- DTI Lower parts kit.
- Stap Upper receiver.
- Chrome BCG.
- Badger Tac latch.
- Magpul 30round windowed P-Mag.
- Magpul MBUS front and rear sights.
- YHM Free float quid rail.
- Magpul ladder covers.
- Primary arms micro dot.
- UTG .83'' riser.
- Magpul grip.
- Troy trigger guard. (Yet to be installed)
- Troy Medieval brake.
- Over sized rear take down pin with loop.

Thanks man! I have plans of building another when my K9 is fully healed.

some pics of the Troy low pro gas block and DPMS tube. Also snapped a pi of the rear take down pin.

As seen in the last pic, Split the halves and load from the top. Going to be modifying a stripper clip guide to work with this setup. So I can load 10 rounds at a time off of stripper clips.

I was thinking about doing a CT legal Ruger Charger myself. But don't they have CT legal AR-15 pistols? Just as long as its under 50oz its a go or am I mistaken? The PLR22 is legal in CT.

Never looked into seeing if any companies made CT legal pistols, so I am unsure. If the pistol has the ability to accept a dettachable magazine then yes, 53-202a has to be followed to the T!

"(B) A semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following:
(i) An ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;
(ii) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip or silencer;
(iii) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned;
(iv) A manufactured weight of fifty ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and
(v) A semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm;"

How do you go about reloading it though?

This is one of those situations where the only real achievement I can see is that the OP successfully worked within the law.  The usefulness of the gun is completely minimized since the user now has to pop open the upper/lower and stuff cartridges directly into the magazine... sort of like loading an SKS.

If the OP is happy, I guess that's fine.  I think a post-ban SBR with a 12" OAL barrel would be a shit ton more useful.
