Re: First ATF Ruling of 2015......applies to everyone in this forum!
Now that is interesting. I suspect that the ATF's ruling is overly broad and encompassing and would be ruled void if challenged. But all in all, I wouldn't want to be the test case. That is the case with most of their rules. And I suspect that this is a result of some past and pending cases. Can we...

Re: 80% recievers
I have a Winchester Model 69A Target with no serial number that I inherited and the rear sight was lost. So I had a gunsmith fit it with a Redfield rear sight and mount. He had it a week and it was logged in and out. I believe you just put "none" in the serial number space.

Re: 20 gauge to 9mm conversion project.
You have more powder space in a 38 Super and can load a heavier sptizer type bullet to max subsonic velocities. More energy at the target! Or better yet, load a 357 Maximum!

Re: Dipping and plating various host metals.
Well, crap. The reason I asked is because I was searching around about plating Ti, and I noticed some places use electroless nickel boron to plate it. I'm guessing that there's a special prep step before the process (for Ti), but I see nickel boron slathered all over AR parts these days. http://www...

In a 223 can even aluminum doesn't hold up well.

Re: ruling against ATF ?!?
I believe the root of the cases in the innovator case and the Sig muzzle brake case is the ATF did not use science or a defined criteria list or design logic tree to determine what a silencer is without being arbitrary. The innovator case is based on the innovator saying it was not designed to sile...

Re: ruling against ATF ?!?
Barrel extensions, fake silencers and back boring, which are barrel extensions, are legal to use on rifles, pistol, and shotguns. So saying anything that reduces the muzzle report is a silencer is incorrect. They do not fit the definition of a silencer under 18 U.S.C., § 921(A)(24). So to all you r...

Re: ruling against ATF ?!?
Fake silencers that are an over barrel design that sit flush with the muzzle, I would have to say no, no change in gas volume, no change in report. Fake silencers that extend beyond the muzzle and have a large overbore. Probably yes, a reduction of report will be witnessed......and they are not des...

Re: ruling against ATF ?!?
They also don't make the rifle quieter, they redirect the gases forward as they are expanding instead of just popping out the barrel. Its the same thing as a metro barrel for shotguns, allows gas to expand slowly before it pops into the environment. This is were is see problems coming from. A "...

Gunny, If it reduces the sound signature at all then its a silencer. So threading a longer barrel onto a gun is a silencer? say going from 16" to 20" on a .22. No its a barrel. We are talking about adding a devide to the muzzle of a barrel not just changing the length. If any device is ad...

Hi, hope you guy don't mind if I comment but, has anyone used ceramic, it's fairly light and is very heat resistant. Merrlin How do you perceive the manufacturing of ceramic baffles?
