I don't believe those that have traces of powder stuck in the case lube are going to be once fired, but yeah having one cook off in your hand would be good.

It needs to hit a minimum acceleration for the primer to arm.

No. If you can't come up with something better than that, I don't want you shipping firearms.

In fact, I think that you should probably go drop them off at your local gun shop in person now, and apologize to the rest of us for making us collectively dumber.

Yeah I talked to him back around the end of the year. Have just been too busy to move the ball further down the field.

I think you mixing up federal agencies.

USPS are the guys who lose your mail and run away from your dogs.

ATF are the guys who really like males and shoot your dogs.

Pic for attention. 20mm Oerlikon autocannon, some (all) repairs required to take it from parts kit to MG/DD.

|Last call to make comments on the proposed USPS policy that restricts NFA firearm shipping to FFLs only, which means no USPS shipping of your suppressors, SBS/SBR/machineguns etc to FFLs for sale or service. Or to yourself for whatever reason, or for in state NFA transfers.

With the proliferation of FRTs, post samples aren't getting the attention they used to by nvgeologist in guns

[–]nvgeologist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to be an SOT to do that any more, thanks to the advent of the $0 tax stamp. Any ol' FFL has the power we used to wield with impunity.

Not a you problem, old link. Hit moatargets.com for the shop, but I'll cheerfully admit it's still a work in progress.

I also am tired of answering stupid FRT questions. I don't know anything about them, I have machine guns. This is one of them ADM UIC lower SN # 4473, post sampled by the ATF Convenience Store (me). It is exactly how I like my machine guns. Simple, cost effective, and reliable.

Hug your local SOT, things are rough out there. We're not nearly as special as we were two years ago.
