Just curious if any manufacturers make a stand alone 1/2x28 to 1/2x28 recoil regulator like AWC did in the past.

Re: Stand alone recoil regulator

If you have a lathe, they are very easy to make.

Re: Stand alone recoil regulator
Noone makes them now.
I sent the ATF one of sumrkn's pictures and was told that as that drawing is done it could be considered a silencer part.
They sent me a picture of the AWC regulator from their archive's and said they USED to allow this but haven't considered them adapters in years and that is why its not for sale anymore.
This is a consistent response with another design we submitted to them that got the same reply.
If Sumrkn gets a favorable response I look forward to seeing it as it will set a nice precedence for us to go back at the ATF with.

Re: Stand alone recoil regulator
That was one of the points I brought up in the letter to the ATF FTB. It has other uses besides being used with a silencer.mpallett wrote:My match race gun with my 3 lb brake needs a booster so my gun will work.Bendersquint wrote:Noone makes them now.

You do realize that to say it has other uses you have to demonstrate and prove the need if you are fighting for a non-regulated part classification.

Allow the use of heavy muzzle devices such as muzzle brakes, flash hiders, blank adapters, etc. by allowing the tilting barrel action to cycle.Bendersquint wrote:Like what other uses??sumkrnboy wrote: That was one of the points I brought up in the letter to the ATF FTB.

Your reasons remind me of what Slide Fire used to get the ATF approval for their stocks.sumkrnboy wrote:Allow the use of heavy muzzle devices such as muzzle brakes, flash hiders, blank adapters, etc. by allowing the tilting barrel action to cycle.Bendersquint wrote:Like what other uses??sumkrnboy wrote: That was one of the points I brought up in the letter to the ATF FTB.

So far, I've had a favorable determination with every letter I've sent them.
