Same here. Suppressors being an NFA item is simply crazy in my opinion. They make the sound manageable, not silent.

Meanwhile, SD Tactical was shut down by the BATFE over their sales of freeze plugs and solvent traps. What's next? Napa Auto Parts? They sell the same stuff....

Anyone hear any talk of deregulating SBRs?  I'm looking at getting one but don't want to do the tax stamp if they're going to free them up soon.

Buy a pistol with a Sig brace. If it passes throw a stock on it.

If they did, you'd get a refund much like the "can" refund that will come with the HPA if it passes. 2 years retroactive.

Back on topic, last night I loaded another 150 rounds of 12ga trap loads. Today, I've got to race to get home before the wife to intercept the Fed Ex man as he has my HBAR upper on his truck. Still need a BCG and Charging Handle to complete it. Doublstar 16" HBAR.

Throwing it on a 80% lower that I'm going to mill next month. Probably going to go basic CMMG LPK with milspec buffer tube and Magpul MOE furniture.

Once that one is built, I'm likely going to go ahead and get a SBR lower from Engage here in MD and build one of those.

Always an option. That's what a lot of guys are doing here in MD since AKs are "illegal" but AK pistols aren't. MD considers SBRs to be pistols, so they buy an AK pistol (PAP or the like) then fill out the BATFE paperwork for conversion, pay the $200, and then wait until the stamp comes in to go grab a stock.

The whole stamp process is a PITA. It took me about 7 months after my paperwork was turned in.

Better than the year to two years it used to take. It's getting shorter and shorter every submission. Shoot, it used to be 6 months for a C&R approval, now it's under a month in most cases.

Barely related to C&R, but I know you used to love Toks. I recently got one and I love the size. I wish it was safe to carry and I got in when surplus was cheap.

I've got a Romanian TTC which has a thumb safety. Makes it okay-ish for a carry weapon in the same way that a 1911 is okay-ish for carry. It all depends on how safe you feel either carrying condition one, or carrying with the need to rack the slide before firing. My carry weapon for the states where I can carry is my Hungarian PA-63. 9x18 Makarov in a Walther PP clone with a light weight aluminum-titanium alloy frame. It's small, accurate, and with JHPs, it does the job much better than a .380 would. P-64 is another good, cheap EDC from the old ComBloc.

But yes, I LOVE my TTC. I'm more accurate with that than any of my other handguns.

I have a TTC as well. I'd love to carry condition one, but that import safety is garbage. A 1911 is much safer to carry.

I would be tempted to buy a new M57 just for the slide. I would carry one of those. Or chop the frame for standard Tok mags.

I like the Maks and would like to mill a slide for new sights.

It was an election year and at the point in time you see the data surge there, people though Hillary was a shoe-in. Still less overall time.

A buddy of mine put in paperwork on a Specwar can 4 frikken years ago. BATFE said they never got the paperwork. Just got the call last month that he was approved.

I don't think the licensing center was even remotely prepared for the rapid increase in suppressor popularity and SBR popularity that has happened in the past two years. SBRs are hotter than anything in MD right now since they're considered "Handguns" under state law which exempts them from our AWB.


Meanwhile, hit up the Howard County gun show about a half-hour away from me this weekend. Got a MilSpec BCG and charging handle for my HBAR build.

Suppressed SBR in .300BO is an awesome platform.

Took my Focus in last week to get seat heaters installed.  Dropped it off early in the morning and got a call around lunch from the guys.  They were concerned that my seats were "too intricate" and that the heating elements would ruin them.  So I opted to go without them and got a refund from the dealership instead.  

So yesterday after work I took the seat money and got something a little more useful.  Everyone should have a 44mag in their life.
