AE1906 Frame comparison

Lots of folks in Mexico could afford it, there is some real money down there. If it only had a 13" barrel, it would have to be owned someplace other than the US (legally).

This frame cannot be "restored" to a carbine with a 30cm barrel, because it was not originally a carbine. If you wish to re-construct a carbine with this frame, it will have to have a 41cm barrel to avoid classification as a "short barrled rifle" requiring registration and tax. That is why Mr. Martz makes his US carbines with a 16 1/2" barrel.
