Tube Buffer
can an ar15 uppe be converted to work without te buffer tube?
Hello a friend of mine told me he once had an ar15 pistol that did not have the buffer tube sticking out of the back. I a wondering if this was some special configuration or if any upper can be converted to work like this? I am thinking about building an ar15 pistol for a range toy and the buffer tube sticking out the back has always been a turn off to the ar15 pistol to me.

Looks like it would require quite a bit of tool savvy to complete, though.
So yes, what your friend had probably was a special configuration, and yes, most uppers probably can be converted. (one way or another)
However, you must be careful. (There are legal issues to consider)
For example, the lower MUST have been manufactured as a pistol lower. (either by some manufacturer or yourself)
You CANNOT use a rifle lower because you would be making a short barreled rifle, which is highly restricted. (Lots of paperwork involved)
Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer and I've never built one of these, so you will want to verify any/all legal/technical advice I might give.
