Re: Best Standard Velocity .22lr Ammunition

None of them. Some are copper washed but actual for real plated is virtually unheard of. However, if you simply look for the word "copper" in the list many will claim to be "copper plated" but it's not that tough to scratch through the "plating" with a fingernail. Which...

Agreed and most likely the case here.

If there isn't a round chambered, then the firearm isn't loaded :roll:

Re: So I've been away....

Good luck. Try to decide what you're going to use it for first. Hunting, competition, plinking, attention at the range, busting pests in the back yard, take up space in the safe ... The purpose will make a lot of the other decisions easier like caliber, weight, POI shift, suppression, price, color, ...

Re: Can I buy via a trust in another state?

The suppressor would have to be purchased in the resident state of the trust then to take it to your state as a trustee after it clears you'd have to fill out a 5320 is my understanding. I'm not a lawyer so I may or may not understand correctly. if you have to supply the money I'm not sure how that ...

Re: Legal Loophole Question

Yep, it's weird. The ammunition you run through it is the most solid thing that keeps it out of NFA. Does that mean if you fire something of large enough caliber through a shotgun which is not a "shotgun shell" it's automagically a DD? That whole concealability clause is in the same boogie...

Here is the letter from the BATFE: ... -CL Sorta spells it out but sorta still leaves questions.

On an MP5 with 147gr ammo the Thompson Machine SG is purported to have a FRP of ~122 and a 1m avg of around ~123 according to independent testing.

Depends on what you're trying for.
