Re: What causes a deeper tone in a F1 can?

many factors which affect tone as you've identified. add to that, material type.
we see/hear this regularly with motorcycle canisters of similar volume but different
materials used e.g. carbon fiber, ss, titanium. (oh, B already addressed this. whoops)

Re: What about living on a sailboat with Nfa items?

mmm, doesn't work that way. you opine that if it isn't legal to own Title 2 by an individual or in a certain location, one could use a trust as a cloaking device to circumvent the legally prohibited provisions of the law. you have a skewed way of viewing law vs trust

Re: form 1 AOW

whether or not it is possible to attach a shoulder stock to an AOW comes down to the devil in the details. generally it is not, but there are exceptions. so we would really need to review the actual firearm, drawing, and specific configuration before anything definitive can be determined

Do you have a cite for this figure?
BATF publishes annual stats on categories of NFA firearms. it's more like 500k registered, so the question is how many people more than 1...2...3... etc

Is there any thing about grandfathering the NFA items you all ready have?

i wanted to maintain the ability to store the disassembled firearm parts in the stock, as designed. so i opted to forgo the bull barrel and thread the OE tapered barrel. a threaded, step-up adapter for common 12-28 size was made. the magazine's QC is poor and requires a little tweaking to allow reli...
