manwithoutahome, I started reading this thread yesterday and just got done rereading it today, and several of your initial posts gave the impression that you actually shot the rifle - one comment in particular really made it seem like you actually shot 7.62x39 out of the .223/5.56 upper...

Any post-86 MG kept in your inventory is intended to be used a demo for LE/mil agencies. A request from a suitable agency is required in order for the ATF to approve the transfer. They will only allow you to have one of any particular model in inventory at one time, and you can only keep it...

I'd say there will be a resurgency in existing models, but I'd expect any manufacturers to test the new waters for a bit before any new firearms designs - or at least not those aimed a LE, and they seem to be going away from 9mm anyway. It isn't coincidence that most pistols bound for the...

For renewals, yes - I figure it may be the same with any other photo card. They won't just accept the old license anymore, then want your SS card too. I didn't find this out until after I was in line to renew mine in may - and of course, I guess I lost my SS card. The "funny" thing was...

They're probably depressed about the AWB expiring, and have gone into mourning - they won't be able to try to cause legal trouble with their competition anymore, calling the ATF, claiming they are selling illegal preban mags. Rocko

You can add liquid/grease/etc. to pretty much any can for some additional noise reduction. The difference between those advertised as "wet" cans is that they require it to reach the advertised suppression levels and are significantly louder dry. Most modern 9mm pistol cans are "dry"...

VQ hammer lightens up the trigger pull, but, IMHO, that only makes the horrendous creep that much more noticable. This can be fixed by drilling and tapping the sear for a set screw to adjust engagement or adding material (JB weld) to the sear for the same effect. PC recently came out with a...

Please note that 922(r) prohibits assembly of a firearm that is restricted from import - not the importation in and of itself. So yes, if you register an imported firearm (which obviously had to be in configuration "suitable for sporting purposes" to get imported in the first place), then you...

I recently got my buckmark threaded for a can - never really used Remington ammo before, but I was trying out all different brands to see what was the quietest - also dug out my chrony for the process. Long story short, the Remington Subsonic absolutely sucked. I had a few boxes that I got...

I would suggest passing on the rattle-can version and use an airbrush. If you don't have an airbrush or compressor, you can get a cheap one in a kit that uses the cans of aresol propellant for like $20. Order it direct from the manufacturer, http://www.kgcoatings.com/ , and you can save...

I think what the original poster is looking for is perhaps a discount on multi-unit transfers. I don't think this is unreasonable, as there isn't much more work on the dealer's end for multiple units transfered at once - they'll all go on the same 4473, same NICS call (in this case, PICS...

I recall in the last sale thread that the shirts are either cotton or cotton blend, depending on style. Can you say for sure which style is which? I'm interested in both the tshirts and the sweatshirts, only really if 100% cotton... Thanks.

I have two pairs of the cheapie HF sets myself (only works if both parties in any conversation can hear ;) ). I haven't had them out for more than a few sessions yet, so can't comment on long-term durability, but I'd think that in any case, they'd be a cheap experiment to see if that sort of...

Copy of ATF response to a similar inquiry sent to them (not mine): Department of the Treasury Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms F: PD: FB: FT: nvc AUG 10 1998 (inside address redacted) Dear Mr. (redacted): This is in response to your letter dated July 20, 1998, to...
