So pretty much the same way every other veteran is treated. Did you get all the sigs on your checkout chit? Great here's your DD214. Check in with the VA if you have any questions/problems. The ones with issues may have family but they don't have a clue, the VA just wrote scripts, VFW is just a drinking hall and the buddy system? Your buddy has the same issues.
I'm not saying that they didn't get treated shitty but it ain't different from anyone else. Expectations vs reality is a hard pill to swallow and usually turns into regret.
Disclaimer. I have no idea what resources were provided to them and all of it can't be laid at the feet of Joe potato. Many came here years before he was in office. Bush, Kenyan and Trump brought in many of them.

For the last 5 years every time I buy a new gun I get delayed , I still get the gun after 5 business days but what a PIA , anyone know what steps I need to take to remedy this , I do have a couple of arrest years ago , simple assault, nobody can take a ass whooping anymore without calling the cops evidently, and one weed possession charge way back in 1985, but until 5 years ago never had a problem.

ATF and FBI did not have an answer for me regarding this. FBI only told me a "UPIN" MIGHT solve my problem, but no guarantees.

I have been charged with possession of weed, but not convicted. Any and all other skirmishes were before my foray into this world.

It's been happening to me for about 8 years. No problems with my CWP; and ME is a state where having it doesn't nix the nics, so I've still got to do the paperwork.

Firearms at the FFL are usually returned within minutes. The real ass kicker is when I file a batch of F1. My last wait was 7 months; all while making those calls to the feds trying to figure it out, and my congress critter wondering why me.

No one has an answer. Im going to FOIA myself through both agencies and maybe that will give me some insight

How's the water level on the Congo River these days?

I wouldn't mind a set for my M24 clone, but alas I live in Australia

Waters Rifleman SSG69 AICS bottom metal from Australia is just as good as Styria.
And much cheaper.

WTO Switchlug will probably be your best option, Stiller makes a great action that doesn’t have an integral rail but the recoil lug isn’t integral either so you would have to take the barreled action out of the chassis to switch barrels.

Is the Stiller Tac 300 lacking any specific features over any other actions? From researching, I saw someone used a Still Tac 300 and just "milled" out part of the chassis to access the switch lug. While they said "milled" it looked like a hack job but still means it could be done cleaner, and it would work.

I assumed with the WTO switch lug pinned, you wouldn't need to remove the action?

Mine remains free of issue. Solid performer. Optics One handled it.

Looks like @akmike47 uses a new type of tankless rebreather when scuba diving. It doubles as a propulsion unit.
