I think ATF is putting themselves into a legal quandary here. As mentioned above they do not know the source of materials used/intended to manufacture the devices in question. Is a piece of bar stock a “silencer”? If not, what is the legal difference and where is the line? They are now...

For pistol brass, I usually size/decap them dirty since it theoretically shouldn't hurt my carbide dies. My favorite thing about the wet tumbler (with stainless pins) is that it gets the primer pockets squeaky clean. You just need to keep eye out for the occasion couple of pins that get stuck in...

Silencerco make their .458 ASR brake in 5/8x24, 5/8x32, and 11/16x24, for use with the Hybrid. They can be a little hard to find sometimes. Griffin Armament recently announced their Bushwhacker 46, which is a similar product. There's also the Bowers Vers .458 but that's direct thread...

The rebated rim was a little wonky to deal with. Ejection isn’t spectacular, but it does work. Finding a magazine that fed it properly was a challenge as well. I had to put a 3d printed spacer in a fairly expensive AI magazine to compensate for the short COAL. Alternatively, you could convert...

If you’re the type that likes to tinker, .458 SOCOM barrels are available for a few of the more common bolt actions. It uses a .308/.243/etc size case head. Uses the same bullets are your .45-70 and is great in a 16”.

I had this issue with a late gen3 17, and it drove me nuts that everyone kept blaming “limp twisting”. Never mind the fact that I’ve got a dozen other pistols, years of experience and have never had the problem with any other gun before or since that glock. Maybe it can exacerbate the problem...

That’s correct. The only AR pattern parts on the MPX are the trigger group (that’s got its own idiosyncrasies), and the grip. Everything else is specific to the MPX, and some parts aren’t even interchangeable between Gen 1&2. The MPX and MCX can use the same stocks, but they are obviously not...

I SBR’d mine with the factory collapsible stock and 8 inch barrel. On its own it’s a neat little package. It’s super quiet running subs, but it’s a bit cumbersome with a full size pistol can. I think a 4.5” barrel with the 8 inch hand guard would handle much nicer. These guys...

Are you certain that the optic itself isn’t broken? My next step would be to swap that out or test it on a different rifle just as a sanity check.

The NY SAFE act has no grandfather provision for possession of 10+ round magazines.

I’m guilty of having done this myself working titanium on my very small lathe. I was quick enough to sweep the flaming mass off the bed and onto my workbench before it ruined the lathe, but as you can imagine I had to just watch it burn itself out. I learned a lesson about turning speeds...

I've had both an American Rimfire, and Ranch Rifle that didn't shoot well out of the box. Upon taking a close look I noticed that the barrel on both of them was touching the stock about halfway down the channel on one side. They're supposed to be free floated. I removed the action, then...

POI shift is typical with a suppressor, as is better perceived precision. I think part of it is due to less gas pressure to disturb bullet flight at the critical moment when they leave the muzzle. It’s also partly due to the recoil and noise reduction simply making it easier to shoot well...

As others have said, the P226. It just does everything right.

The Griffin Checkmate is a nice QD rimfire can if you’re looking for one of those. You can convert it between QD and direct thread easily as well.

City and state should be plenty sufficient for the manufacture’s address. I just checked a few of my older form 1’s that I had put through the e-forms system when that was still an option. They had a drop down to chose the manufacturer, and all of mine simply list the country the manufacturer...

The $200 tax stamp has value to me. The stamp has zero value whatsoever to anyone I would sell my SBR to, hence why I said “if you sell it” you’ve wasted the money. How hard is this to understand? If you want an SBR, and plan to keep it, then pay the tax. If you’re planning to sell it later...

Not having to engrave a factory SBR on a Form 4 is great. Waiting for the stamp to come back before you can take possession of it, not so much. Regardless of whether it’s on a Form 1 or 4, engraved or not, if you sell your SBR you’ve flushed $200 down the toilet. If it’s on a Form 1 you’re also...

Sure, you can sell your SBR’d receiver if you detach the short barrel first, but who wants to buy a firearm with someone else’s information engraved on it? At that point all you’ve done is spent $200 to decrease the value of it to someone else.

The Shockwave blade is a really great solution in my opinion, especially combined with the specific KAK buffer tube. By all means go ahead and file a form 1 if you really want an SBR, but you may find that the blade meets your needs well enough. There are also some advantages to having...
