I keep hearing that shooting 45 colt in the same chamber will harm the chamber by erosion. Has anyone actually ruined a 460 or 454 by shooting 45 colt enough times through the same chamber?
Conclusion by the court "Accordingly, we conclude that the Contender pistol and carbine kit when packaged together by Thompson/Center have not been "made" into a short-barreled rifle for purposes of the NFA. 10 The judgment of the Court of Appeals is therefore Affirmed. "
Ok, so TC won the...
Could anyone post a link to where exactly the supreme court exempted the regular carbine or pistol as opposed to the kit? If possible please cite by copying and pasting the exact words in the case that exempt the regular pistol or carbine from interchangabilty back and forth.
Does anyone else see the conflict of the government's position in the first post versus TC's customer advisement position shown in the letter below?
Would it be ethical to advise your customers to do that which could potentially land them in prison? The last time I spoke to a TC customer...
Mechtech is not trying to deal with this in any way that will help keep anyone out of prison. No warnings no nothing. I hope they go out of business
because they are walking gunpowners into a trap. Its complete horse ____.
Thompson Arms is even doing worse. Their customer service is...
Certain petroleum distillates can become a problem on some things.

I been trying to research this for a while and everything seems to point in the direction of silicon based treatments as the most inexpensive and overall safe way to preserve firearms whether plastic, steel ,aluminum, rubber, or wood finishes are involved. Even though petroleum distillates have...
Atkins marketed his device without full approval of the ATF and they shut him down
after he sold plenty of the devices. Marketing an AR15 kit without their blessing
might only end in confiscation where agents show up at your door. The people that bought the atkins stocks never got a refund either.
I can't see where on the 2007 letter that denial is made
of the legal ability of the specified kit from the TC Supreme Court case
to be reconfigured back and forth. However, they only prohibit the uzi
pistol from having the same applicability as was specified in the TC case.
If there is any...
I called TC arms customer service dept
and was told you could reconfigure their rifles into a pistol and vice versa. To be certain,
they no longer offer any kind of kit probably because their legal council misunderstood
the resulting circumstances and applied the decision way to broadly to...
The only thing I can think of that might exempt mech tech is the fact that the stock attaches to an upper and not the main receiver. If I am wrong, mechtech has unintentually created a serious problem for all of it's customers.
Serial number trace to the manufacturer will define what it started as.
They stopped selling the kits long ago. I have never seen one for sale
in the past 10 years.
