Ok Alex, I've got a dumb question. How the heck are you going to install the barrel and barrel nut on that upper?

Magic!

No, the bottom three rails come off, and the kit comes with the barrel nut and wrench:

I've heard NYC is confiscating guns with over 5 rounds of capacity. Screw that. I'll probably stay in Florida for a LONG time.

Well NYC is basically it's own state and can make it's own laws .... there is a no gun policy there

I live about 12 miles away as the crow flies from the City but NYS is a liberal run state and is trying to eliminate guns as well .... they never succeed though haha

Pretty sure the politicians just do it for popularity and getting their name out there .... haven't heard a peep about the gun control laws from Odumbass or Cuomo since a few weeks after the CT shooting thats when it all started.

I'm using that

But there's no way I could tolerate some of those NE states. My birth state of Joizie is among the worst
