    Suppressors 22 lr AR Upper, Suppressor/Subsonic Reliable

    You're correct, and some dilution of the acetic acid might reduce any etching. I'm thinking Kodak Stop Bath...if it can be found, would be ideal. Also, I think plugging the bore, standing the can vertically and filling it with the Dip would be much better than immersing the whole can, so as to...

    Suppressors 22 lr AR Upper, Suppressor/Subsonic Reliable

    Fascinating! It has real promise indeed, but I would wait for severe fouling before using it and I'd limit the number of times it's used as you suggest. The only real problem is the Hydrogen Peroxide. The Dip calls for a 35% H2O2 supply, and what's available at the pharmacy for medical use is...

    Suppressors Can I pin/weld my Suppressor to a new SBR and have it right away?

    Looked through the whole site and didn't find any sort of adapter tube for the 556P to use with the brace, just the brace itself or an entire pistol with brace attached. I wonder if one could use the pivot from the folding stock on the 556 rifle along with a buffer tube and the brace to make...

    Suppressors 22 lr AR Upper, Suppressor/Subsonic Reliable

    Bummer. I had kind of counted on being able to use the SOCOM on my .22's and my .17HMR. It's not the cost of a Sparrow, it's the flinking BATFE wait-list crapola. About "The Dip," does this have a solid chemistry basis for lead removal, or is it primarily for carbon gunk? Hm...I wonder if...

    Suppressors Socom 556-rc

    Interesting. Thanks for the advice, which I'll certainly take. One would think that it's the threads that keeps the adapter square on the barrel, not the washers. I'd never considered that a non-square washer would tilt the adapter. That's really good to know. Peripherally, how important is...

    Suppressors news about NFA trust changes

    Actually, if you read their response to this allegation, they didn't. They were addressing something else entirely and the BATFE hijacked their case to use it as a vehicle for this proposed change. Of course there is the old saw about letting sleeping dogs lie....

    Right. But they do say that you can "temporarily" convert an SBR to a LBR for hunting or other purposes without either violating the NFA or having to notify them. The question is can you swap SHORT barrels of different calibers onto the registered receiver and still be in compliance. My guess...

    Suppressors Can I pin/weld my Suppressor to a new SBR and have it right away?

    Only problem I have is that my SIG 556P doesn't have a buffer tube, so I can't use the buffer-tube style forearm brace. Do they make on that fits directly on the back of a 556P without the buffer tube...that might even be QD removable?

    Suppressors Can I pin/weld my Suppressor to a new SBR and have it right away?

    A registered SBR receiver without its associated short upper is, according to the NFA FAQ, NOT an NFA "firearm" so long as the owner does not have "dominion or control" over the parts necessary to turn the receiver into an SBR. In other words, you can own a registered receiver and a Title I 16"+...

    The question is do you have to send them this notification each and every time you swap uppers, or just once?

    Suppressors Socom 556-rc

    I just got my SOCOM 556 RC the day before Christmas. I went on an orgy of installing adapters on my various 5.56 and .22 rifles and handguns. Word of warning to SIG rifle owners (and maybe others). I installed the adapters on my SIG 556P and my SIG 556 rifle, and the silencer worked fine (and...

    Well, that's good to know. So, how do we do it...or are you just drumming for business?

    Suppressors ATF to deny trust applications? When?

    Therefore, get your trust in the works before then and it must be processed under the old rule.

    Suppressors Change of Address Question

    Since you have the same PO box, keep in mind the stamps will show up at your dealer's shop, not your PO box. I made that mistake and was eagerly checking my PO box when the time was near. When your dealer gets the stamps he'll call you to come get the items and will give you the forms then. The...

    Suppressors 22 lr AR Upper, Suppressor/Subsonic Reliable

    Which brings up another question. I won a .22LR conversion kit for my AR at Knob Creek last year, and I'm wondering if it's safe to use it with my new Surefire SOCOM 556 QD? Any issues with baffle strikes shooting .22LR in a NATO 5.56 M4 barrel? Would be nice to be able to plink with the...

    Suppressors Electronic Form 4 Wait Times

    I have a sneaky suspicion that as part of the general policy of "work to rule" letter-of-the-law that the NFA Section seems to operate under that because the NFA only authorizes a "short barrel" for an individual rifle, thus "making" an SBR that has three different caliber barrels is the same...

    Suppressors Electronic Form 4 Wait Times

    One of the problems with interpreting the marking rules is that the BATFE distinguishes between a "manufacturer" and a "maker." Because it is lawful for a private individual to "make" a firearm (including an NFA firearm) without obtaining a federal firearms manufacturing license, they apply the...

    Suppressors Electronic Form 4 Wait Times

    This issue of marking keeps coming up and I don't know why. The answer is quite simple, you MUST put your name (or trust name, LLC name, etc) and your city and state on the receiver if you are MAKING an SBS or SBR. "Making" means the same thing as "converting" an already manufactured shotgun...

    Suppressors Walther P22 with Surefire SOCOM 556 QD

    So, I'm sitting at Outback having dinner on the way home from picking up my suppressors and I'm trying to decide if its safe to shoot my Walther P22 with the Surefire SOCOM 555 QD suppressor. I got a thread adapter for the P22 threaded long barrel to convert it to the standard AR pattern, and...

    Not as long as it's locked up and you are the only one with the key/combination. My brother stored his machine guns with me for an extended period when his job took him to California. They were locked in cases with copies of the paperwork taped to the outside of the case and they were stored in...
