Re: Best .40 Can

"Multi" seem to even irritate the ATF so just list 9 through 45 and be done with it.. "Multi" is fine for non-NFA firearms. If a manufacturer wanted to mark more than one caliber on a silencer they'd need a marking variance (or mark them anyway and call the extra numbers decorat...

Re: Mexican Drug Cartel Allegedly Puts Price on Ariz. Sherif

Didn't widespread use of narcotics and mind-altering drugs virtually destroy the productive midde east during the colonial period? Seems to me the same thing would happen here. Screw the middle east, it happened here. Laudanum, opium, cocaine, and especially demon rum were all in heavy use in the U...

Re: SBR: Make or Buy?

To bring closure to this question, I'm going to quote it. So, let's go ahead and address the elephant in the room... What are the legal ramifications to owning an "improperly registered" SBR lower. I'm considering an SBR down the road, and the route I was going to go was buy the lower, th...

Alright my question here, say I'm passing through a state that is SBR friendly with my SBR, I fill out a 5320.20 for my destination state. Do I need to fill out a separate one for each state I'll be passing through as well, or can I list multiple states on one form? If I can list more states on one...

Oh yes, let us pardon everyone with illegal firearms and just continue to screw those who follow the rules. It would be very much in line with the way we have handled taxpayers and non-taxpayers. Amnesties are necessary though. There are issues with the accuracy of the registry (a bit overblown in ...

Any pet loads for factory 77/44s?

Anyone have any loads they like for subsonic .44mag in a slow twist 77/44? Especially jacketed bullets (i.e. Hornady 240gr. XTPs).

Mainly looking for a starting point.

It has to be a DEWAT or else altered to the standard of a DEWAT (bolt welded to receiver, etc.). If it's just broken it is still servicable.

I'd be interested in a gun lawyers take and if it is in fact legal to specify any other naming conventions, and if so, if it is legal in the eyes of the ATF. Not a lawyer, but ATF's take is that the regulations specify only recognized abbreviations may be used. Their interpretation is that only pos...

A limited amnesty has been on the table and come very close (very close) to getting done.

You have three options. You can comply, you can leave, or you can ask to see the manager/owner who will probably back their employee, leading back to a choice between options one and two.

Re: Moving to N VA. Looking for intel on Anti-Class 3 Sherif

You can make an after hour appointment to shoot fullautos there. They move you down range closer to the backstop. Very few people have been allowed to do that. They're pretty non-responsive to those requests. But they are indeed fine with other NFA stuff. I've heard of people having issues with AOW...
