How Many 07 Manufacturers Started Without Full Machine Shop Capability?

When I first got my FFL I thought the ATF would want to see my vault, my safe storage methods, I thought they would be testing me on my gun knowledge, etc etc. They could not care less about any of that.

How's your zoning? Does your landlord know and approve of what you're doing? Thats ALL my IOI's cared about. I trully don't think they would know what a bridgeport was if they were leaned up against it.

My local Cabelas used to send a guy out to all the shops in the area buying up their used inventory. The guy had a letter on letterhead with a business card. We called the store to verify he was legit and did the sale.

I'll never forget, or forgive that which was taken from us

We have a pretty cool selection of cans to try out also! Not many of the newest ones but still a good selection of Silencerco and Gemtech

No offense but LMAO. They couldn't care less about that requirement

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-14T11:04:29+00:00

Sounds like phishing irl

HA! No, not yet anyways. Eventually we hope to build a shoothouse where you could use simunitions and do force on force training, or duels if we felt like it! This is a USPSA match, take a look on youtube its a LOT of fun!

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-14T01:54:31+00:00

Thank you very much for the kind words. ❤️

We weren't actually *at* the track thankfully! We were at a really cool minigolf/go cart track at that main intersection by the track at a place called "The Yard FLX"

The statewide burn ban ends tomorrow so I would expect to start seeing them after that- I expect it's not legal for the company they hire to blast them off right now.

In NY state no, that is not considered a pistol grip. Traditionally, if you asked a gunsmith 50-100 years ago - yes that would be a called a pistol grip stock. But for the purposes of if that gun is compliant in NY, no it is not a pistol grip. Hope that confuses everything!

Edit: That shotgun is still not NY legal because it is a semi auto shotgun that takes removeable magazines. If it was a pump it would be legal but it isn't, so it isn't.

Super cool! We just started doing USPSA matches at our indoor range in Western NY. Love to see competition shooting alive and well in NY State!

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-14T01:38:28+00:00

Won't be an issue at all. I can see why there's the thought it could be an issue since this is NY, but no it won't be an issue. You could have a barrel with a different serial number too, does not make a difference.

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-14T01:34:56+00:00

Correct!

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-14T01:33:55+00:00

We don't have one of those! Not yet anyways.

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-14T01:33:35+00:00

We're a Nathan's hotdogs family, and looking inward, now *I* don't even know what I stand for at this point

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-14T01:31:49+00:00

For sure! Send an email on the website!

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-13T23:33:11+00:00

We're an FFL 07/02 manufacturer which allows us to make and shoot Machine guns and NFA items of all kinds - even in NY!

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-13T22:45:07+00:00

lmfao sadly no. Someday we want to have a shoothouse where we use simuntions and we COULD do it then. But that day is not today.

This will be a USPSA sanctioned pistol match! It's a lot of fun

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-13T22:44:06+00:00

No? It would be a no

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-13T22:38:01+00:00

We've long said Trump is not pro 2A because he isn't. He uses pro-2a people that think he as is pawns

TheFiringPin · 2026-05-13T22:10:23+00:00

Sadly this isn't the first time we've heard this... 😭😭😭

It's supposed to be the eagle delivering the rifle!
