Say, What?! A/C Guy wrote: Say, What?! You are WRONG, stop spreading Misinformation. Now, you don't often see people make Silencers/Suppressors on Form 1s, because there are a lot of subtleties that are more 'legally' involved than making SBRs/SBSs, nonetheless it is legal and possible...

Found One, Plus Some Other Options Well, it is a custom line, but... http://samples.wilsonart.com/p-103-camo.aspx Might give that a try. Barring that option, you could always coat the formica with a 'contact paper' like Camo covering. These are used to camo Trucks and such where the...

Grendel P-10? Just to tweak the DC authorities while they work out that they really can't ban all Semi-Auto Handguns (probably), why not register a Grendel P-10? It doesn't fit the definition for their Semi-Auto ban, which is any handgun capable of holding more than 12 rounds. While that...

Weapons AND Bound Book Leatherneck wrote: It really does include all the C&R weapons in the book AND the Bound Book. They just usually request that you only bring the Bound Book, because, as you pointed out, it would be silly to have some collector schlep in 100 Bolt Action Rifles for...

Augustwest wrote: Just to clarify, for anyone who reads this thread: From a Federal perspective, NOT New Jersey, here is how it works: 1. The BATFE has the right to do an Annual (that's once per year) inspection of your C&R firearms (ONLY!) and your Bound Book. It is YOUR option to...

There is a 'marginal' benefit to having a C&R in NJ, namely that you still get to send it off to MidwayUSA, Brownells, Grafs, and Numrich to get the Dealer Discount pricing (or very close to it) on everything EXCEPT Firearms. It ain't much, but... Futuristic

Criminal vs. Civil NOT A LAWYER, But: feedthehogs wrote: That was a Criminal trial. The Supremacy Clause does give Federal Officers a fair bit of cover for Criminal proceedings against them for acting in the course of their duties. Otherwise, during the Civil Rights era all the...

Gookinaid Hydralyte/Vitalyte I'm not sure why folks seem stuck on homebrewing this stuff, when there is a well established product that isn't particularly expensive. (OK, in the wilds of Iraq, maybe...) Gookinaid Hydralyte (now being rebranded as Vitalyte) has been around since the 70s and...

XD 45 Compact I think both are excellent choices. I had a 30 (and a 21) for a while, but here is what made me change to the XD 45 Compact: The XD 45 Compact is the same size, in virtually every dimension, as a Glock 19. This is slightly smaller than the Glock 30 in every respect except...

Colt Detective Special sacp81170a wrote: I'm not going back and counting holes, but the revolver appeared to be a Nickel Colt Detective Special. Those are 6 shot revolvers, only marginally larger than a J frame. Futuristic

Link to BATFE Firearms FAQs Instead of searching here (thought that's not always a bad idea!), why not take advantage of the Tax Dollars that the BATFE has spent preparing a very nice FAQ on Firearms laws: http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faqindex.htm I've never quite understood why...

It's been said by numerous folks, though John Farnam or Clint Smith get the credit most often: Don't go stupid places. Don't hang out with stupid people. Don't do stupid things. Sage advice for living a trouble free life. And, for those who advocate the legalization of cannabis, I would...

Gator wrote: The problem with this statement is that, 'the way I see it' is not an effective defense against prosecution in a Federal District Court. The BATFE has made clear over and over that the ability to ship to YOURSELF is very distinct from shipping to anyone else. Shipping to...

Try more Distinctive Luggage! Fly320s wrote: This is one reason that I personally have gotten away from the ubiquitous Black Softsided Suitcase, and have gotten some exotic looking luggage. There are a BUNCH of different patterns out there to make your luggage stand out from the sea of...
