Firearm BS thread

To be honest, I'm surprised the slidefires didn't end up falling on that list also, but somehow they escaped it,

 

You gotta love the government. Something that was legal can be turned into a felony overnight on the whim of a few people with no legislative authority or oversight.

 

I'm still waiting for an AR 15 pistols to be put on a non-Ccw list, LOL

 

What does this even mean? Are you saying that if you "legally" own one currently and they pass a bill, that you will automatically become a felon if you own one from pre-bill?

What are you supposed to do with them then if they don't even give you the chance to file for a SBS?

 

Yes they have done it before

 

ROCHESTER, NY – -(AmmoLand.com)- On January 2010 American Tactical Imports Inc received official notification from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and explosives that the original barrel shroud (aka: fake suppressor) supplied with your GSG 5 SD model must be replaced.

It has been determined that this shroud is regulated under the National Firearms Act. American Tactical will provide a replacement shroud at no charge for each GSG 5 SD model sold or currently in inventory.

Consumers in possession of a GSG 5 SD model with the original shroud in place on the firearm are now in violation of the NFA. To avoid continued violation of the NFA, ATI asks that all persons in possession obtain a replacement shroud as soon as possible. We anticipate arrival of the new shrouds to begin by the middle of February 2010.

IMPORTANT: THE ORIGINAL SD MODEL SHROUD MUST BE RETURNED ACOMPANIED BY THE FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER BEFORE A REPLACEMENT SHROUD IS ISSUED. THE DIAMETER OF THE SD SHROUD IS 1-9/16”. DO NOT RETURN THE SMALLER CARBINE SHROUD.

WHAT TO DO:
If possible return your old shroud to the dealer where purchased and show him this notice. The shroud will be returned to ATI along with a list of serial numbers from the guns that the shrouds were removed. ATI will send replacements to the dealer for pick up at your convenience; ATI will be sending replacements as fast as logistics allow. If your dealer is out of business or difficult to reach, or you purchased your gun used, from a consumer, return the shroud directly by US mail or UPS to American Tactical Imports Inc. 100 Airpark Drive Rochester, NY 14624.

PLEASE TRY NOT TO CALL US. We will provide comprehensive information on our web site www.americantactical.us , and www.ar15.com or by e-mail to atiexchange@americantactical.us

REMEMBER, INCLUDE THE FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER WITH EACH SHROUD OR A REPLACEMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED.

This action IS NOT being instituted through any fault and is strictly due to NFA compliance. American Tactical will assume the responsibility to satisfy the requirements in an effort to minimize the impact on our customers and protect your investment.

We at American Tactical Imports Inc. sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this unfortunate situation.

Sincerely,
Anthony DiChario

I had this firearm and this thing was quiet and I always wondered why.... I could have went to jail because of it.

 

I am saying just that you will be a felon period....

 

Interesting stuff. Regardless of the wording, they were still illegal in Ohio because of our own restrictions. I also like not having arthritis.

 

?????

 

I may have missed a thing or two but, how old are your mounts/rings? The reason why i ask is i had simular mounts as your on my Tikka T3. I missed a deer about 2 years ago so i went to the range and shot for a bit. Turned out my rings were wore out, i keep having to resight my scope. I switched to Leupolds DoveTail rings for my scope and haven't had a problem since. Ive had my Tikka for about 6 years, great rifle.

 

I can honestly say I have never heard of rings "wearing out". Loosening up...yeah but never a properly mounted set having issues that wasnt from abuse or damage (ie shooting off a 50bmg with 22lr rated rings or dropping them). So interesting ot hear you actually encountered it!

 

DITTO!

 

That sounds like an odd issue!

They are brand new so I doubt theres a wear issue.

 

I'm tempted to pull the trigger on the SMITH & WESSON PERFORMANCE CENTER M&P SHIELD

 

Got the Millennium G2 few weeks ago for 199.00. Great gun 13rounds and extra mag
One year free NRA membership

 

Anyone else see that the new sanctions put on Russia banned the import of VEPR rifles?

 

1st ever Larue mount sale if anyone is in need: http://www.larue.com/lt-104

 

I heard about that. My vepr 12 gauge is about to go up in value

 

Sounds like it. I also have a VEPR.

 

At the gun show last weekend here locally they were going from $1100-$1300 up from around $650/700
