    You can sell them if you choose to, just can’t manufacture them with intent to sell.
    Regardless these will be kept forever and the kids will have theirs for their lifetime I hope.

    On an unrelated note, I hate the BS that gets said at gun shops, heard today.
    “Yeah, that’s a 50 BMG, if the round passes within 6” of you it rips your skin. They’re so deadly that we (I assume he’s talking about the military, because he’s just a dumbass with a man-bun) can’t use them against soft targets, it’s in human”.

    Correct, however the presumption in law is that you need an FFL to manufacture firearms for sale to others. It would appear that you need to be able to prove that the personally made gun was for you and not someone else if the gun was later used in a crime or such.

    I would add the required markings just to cover my ass if it was me.

    Negative, burden of proof is on them, that’s where innocent until proven guilty comes into play.

    Well, do you really want to put yourself through the asspain of dealing with the ATF as they drag you through the courts hoping the legal system works in your favor. Not to mention the cost of hiring a lawyer, time off of work, and so forth.

    If your answer is yes than carry on.

    What’s up guys,
    My wife recently got me my first AR-15 for Christmas. I was wanting to know what is a good sling to get. I know there’s tons out there in the market and I wanted to be a solid one that you guys have or have had experienced. Thanks!

    BFG, VTAC, or Magpul are my favorites

    VTAC designed a real nice 2 point, then Blue Force improved them, and then Magpul improved them further IMO

    FWIW I have one of each

    I rank them Magpul, BFG Vickers, VTAC and they're all leaps and bounds over any other sling I've used

    I'm personally a big fan of the wide or padded version of each also, I had an issued version without padding or wide webbing and swapped it out with a personal padded one after the first use in the woods tracking for over an hour

    All of my rifles now have the padded versions and they're much more comfortable over long periods of time

    Standard Vickers BFG sling for me. I have a set of QD swivels on it. Have several other 2 and 3 point slings in the spare parts bin but the BFG is my favorite.

    I have the padded vtac on all mine. I keep wanting to try one of the magpul versions but it’s hard to not stick with what I’m comfortable with. I tried a vickers bfg and a padded Troy before finding the vtac. Didn’t really care for either of them.

    Sorry, I just can't help myself from putting the Facts out there on this. :evil:

    Funny, I can confirm the 6" is total BS. However, everytime we qualified on the .50 I heard the same thing about .50 and above is "Anti-Material" per Geneva Convention and if anyone questions why you fired on zzz, you always reply you were shooting at their equipment... Heard the same with 30mm on an Apache.

    As you can see here, no such exact ban is found (Sec III, Para 34-38: Section III. FORBIDDEN MEANS OF WAGING WARFARE): http://www.aschq.army.mil/gc/files/FM27-10.pdf
    So quick reference: The US Military will not: use Flame weapons, Poison, or Chemical warfare umbrella.

    First article 34 is most likely where the above statement comes from, but specifics detail doesn't match up. However, I know US Military banned the use of all Flechette rounds but in Iraq war decided to use them on the opening strike by Apache's against the 2 Iraq Radar installations to kick off the air war. I know people who literally pulled that trigger. Cluster bombs/ munitions were added either during or after the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.

    Geneva Convention relating to US Military policy above
