Yeah, I'm a member over there, but it's been down (or at least not working right) for several days now. I'll hit them up when they get back on their feet. Like I said, this is probably just the wrong audience for such an animal.

No no no, you guys misunderstand me here. I will be building and selling complete carbines. I was just contemplating ALSO selling the same carbine as an 80% complete kit for the hobbyists who like to build those sorts of things. You can't have a third party finish machine the 80% kit for you...

Well, yeah, of course a ready made rifle would appeal to more people. I'll be selling finished rifles as well, but I'm wanting to see if there's enough interest to bother with doing an 80% kit for hobbyists. For all intents and purposes, on this go 'round I'm married to the .45 Auto...

Yeah, I am shooting for something in the $500-$600 range, cheaper if it's possible, but I won't know for sure until I know how much material and time I'll have in each one.

My goal would be to make it so easy to finish that you won't need a jig. Just follow the existing machine work to depth. All the complex bits would be done already, and all the FCG pin holes would be drilled already, so you know they're in the right place. I'll probably leave some other...

I'll believe that when I see it, but OK. Price point noted.

Should have known you all would be a fairly laconic bunch. lol Any opinion on what price range you'd like to see?

I'm in the process of designing & manufacturing a .45 caliber semi-auto carbine, and it occurred to me the other night that it would not be difficult at all to off this as an 80% kit instead of a finished rifle. I'd only leave material that would be easy to remove with a milling machine...

It doesn't border, it was a personal attack. I apologize. Delete all of my posts on the topic if you like. I told you all exactly what I was told when I asked this specific question. I'm not trying to mislead, I'm repeating what I was told when I went through the process. Maybe...

You quoted section 2778 and then the penalties for violating section 2779. There are many exemptions listed in the document that you linked to, among them was: (b) Exemptions. Registration is not required for: (1) Officers and employees of the United States Government acting in an official...

Tell that to ATF then. They issued the finding.

I asked this question specifically when I did my 07 application and throughout the approval process. My ATF agent took the question to her people and came back in three or four days with the answer that I was not required to register with State under ITAR unless I was going to import, export...

It boils down to this: If you buy parts and assemble or modify a weapon prior to it having been in a customer's hands, you are a manufacturer and need an 07 FFL. If you sell and deliver a weapon to the customer who then has you perform modifications for him/her you are a gunsmith and need...

I really like N340, it is my go-to powder for .45 Auto SD and target loads, as well as .44 Mag target loads. My current favorite for .45 Auto is 6.0 grn of N340 under a 230 grn LRN hard cast bullet, loaded to 1.23" COL. Ave vel from a 4.25" 1911 is ~865 FPS. I haven't chrono'd them from a 5"...

It's a packaging thing. They are missing the consumer warnings, packaged in different trays and quantities, and offered at wholesale prices only. They're not labeled or packaged for retail sales. Kind of like how those tiny bags of tater chips are labeled "Not For Individual Sale" when you...
