Why everyone ask ??? ..LOL .. will you still have to follow All the same previous ATF requirements for owning Suppressors, with still doing Prints, Photo, File Paperwork, and get 'BATF permission granted' . It Is Because it was fucking asinine that Suppressors and Short Barrel Rifle firearms were linked together as a singular goal. Suppressors are Not a Firearm, and THE ONLY THING the two have in common, is sharing of the same dollar amount charged in a Tax Fee .
And that what you fucking get in US Government Politics when professional politicians, and lawyers write nonsensical legislation using Mufflers, and Firearms in the same sentence .

We err when believing they are dumb. They are cunning calculating psycho pieces of used dog food. Nothing they do is accidental. That’s why the clear eyed are such proponents of one way helo rides.

No need to argue, that is the way it is. Registration remains.

HPA and SHORT were blocked.

• $200 tax stamps for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs reduced to $0 starting January 1, 2026.
• NFA process and registry remain—for now. Forms, fingerprints, and approvals still required.
• Full deregulation (HPA & SHORT) was blocked by the Senate Byrd Rule.
• Senate compromise: Free tax stamps, but not full removal from the NFA.

I’m looking ahead to the continued fight to remove silencers and short things.

“See, no tax. No no registration.”

“No, the tax remains. It’s just a $0 tax. Registration remains…”

So, the $0 tax doesn't take effect until Jan 1st?
That sucks.

Well, if you use Silencer Central, they will pay the $200 fee for you now.

Outraged female cyclists expose 'deception' after trans competitor dominates championship race

Well, this is what happens when you try to be all inclusive to anybody that wants to be in your club. What % of women supported this movement and are now seeing what it is? I can assure you, the women born before WW2 (most are passing) would not have been in favor of any of this - those that were true trailblazer...working as doctors, pharmacists, riveters, metalurgist, etc.

This exposes what's been happening since the 60's. Though, this Culture-Rot accelerated in the 90's...went full bore nutso when we were a colony of Kenya.

Alberta will never be allowed to separate. The energy industry drives too much $$$ into the federal budget that is then distributed very similarly to USAID. Alberta MAY improve their negotiating position if and only if the $$$ train is visibly threatened.

Has anyone rode a bike with a Pinion gearbox? They look pretty cool and pairing it with a belt drive seems to make the drivetrain bombproof and almost maintenance free

I have, a few years ago. Great in concept but meh in execution / actual use. The generation I rode would not shift under load basically at all. Maybe they are better now, I don't know. Belts are great but not better than chains IMO. They have to be tensioned pretty high which adds drag / drops efficiency (very very bad in my world), they can be cut by rock impacts (but I guess chains can break, however my last broken chain was in the early 2000 or maybe even late 90's, so not really a thing anymore), belts get noisy in dry dusty conditions (water helps but not for long in those conditions). In my humble opinion a pinion drive is a solution looking for a problem, same with all variations of electronic drivetrains (except in a few specific use cases). I have owned everything from 3X7 Shimano to 12 speed XTR, XX1 Axis and Transmission, Red XPLOR 12 speed, etc (haven't tried the wireless Shimano yet but the paint isn't dry on it yet) and I choose to run mechanical XO1 Eagle. It is lighter, less expensive not if but when I break it or wear it out (I go through at least 1 cassette, 2 chainrings, and 2+ chains a year at minimum). Do the math on mechanical eagle vs transmission and then compare the weight of the two groups. Nevermind I never have a battery die on a ride, have to charge batteries, or worse have a communication issue. My mechanical shifts quicker and much more reliable than any electronic drivetrain especially after it's nasty because I can finesse it if need be.

So I guess you could say I'm not a fan...

Trump is not perfect, but he is the perfect person for our time. He knows how to get things done, and he knows what we are all up against. In 5+ months he has made great strides, and every week our side is getting stronger. Not many persons would have faced all that lawfare, come out on top, and have energy left to campaign and win.

I still see dudes huffing paint

Just be happy that you live in the greatest nation in the history of mankind

I fixed the mount btw. I was clearly not paying attention

I would not get too caught up in 80 yr old machines being the cause. Such machines can run accurately if well maintained and operated by experienced machinists. These latter two factors would weigh more heavily in the end result than the mere fact of the machine being 80 yrs old.

There is also the "good enough" QA/QC attitude, which can echo through a business like the old cliche "close enough for government work."

My sense is that Berger, as an idea/business, arose from wanting to have better end results than what Sierra etc provided. So their process would be, top to bottom and side to side, more attentive to detail and possibly longer time in process per projectile. Which cuts into end sale profit pricing. And Berger is happy to do that while pricing their projectiles accordingly... higher priced than Sierra.

Doesn't bother me, I still buy both. I was just making a comment on what they said. Take it for what it's worth . I'm no expert on such things.

Bowen makes a DX compatible front sight base for the Toklat, and RW Grip Frames/Fermin Garza makes a drop-in rear replacement blade. It will make that thing a whole new gun. Toklat is the coolest factory SRH ever made.

A 300gr XTP in that Hunter over 21.6gr of WW296 is an absolute killer and is extremely accurate out of mine. Toss a Belt Mountain base pin in it and let em rip.

I actually got an ultradot for the Toklat and plan on pulling it in an off depending on what I’m doing with it. I’m just waiting for Ruger to swap out the factory rings for 30mm that will hopefully show up soon. I’ve considered sending it to Wild West Guns for them to go through but I’m probably just going to leave the thing alone because it shoots so good as it is.

It’s a cool ass gun, it’s kinda ugly but also really cool looking at the same time. I had to have one when I first saw them and just happened upon it a couple months back.

Try it out at 100 or longer and let us know. I know that SLR just ok at 50 for me but better than my center X and Midas at 100.

That's the plan.
