m203 is indeed legal if you have the documents to have them...which he should, just to buy one requires such.PM sent
As one of the board's long time "gun" guys I feel compelled to respond.
Actually I'm surprised no one else brought this up.
Vector, THAT IS NOT AN AR PISTOL
Unless you have a class III license and a tax stamp, your little piece could end you up in a whole bunch of trouble.
What you have is classified as a "SBR" short barreled rifle. You need to remedy the situation ASAP.
All you have to do to get back into the good graces of the ATF is to REMOVE THE STOCK, and just leave the buffer tube in place. Only then will it be a pistol.
Secondly, just to clarify, M203 (40 millimeters) GRENADE LAUNCHERS ARE ILLEGAL. (PERIOD).
Now the 37mm "flare launchers" are entirely LEGAL. They can fire flares, smoke rounds and "bird busters". There is some really great sites dedicated to the loading and creative uses of the 37mm round.
Just trying to keep a fellow brother out of trouble.

Class II isn't it? Bah, gotta look up the laws again.
And is that indeed an m203? Looks awefully like what I have which is a Cobray 37mm launcher.
