My gunsmith couldn't do left hand nor metric threads, but I measured, with calipers, enough meat on the barrel for 9/16x24 threads. He said the bore was far enough from concentric to the OD that he couldn't do 9/16x24, so, without first consulting me, he cut 1/2x28 and gave me an adapter to...
I've been very happy with the DPMS LR series. I had one in .308 that ran for 736 problem-free rounds, except for one that failed to chamber. That was my fault though, because I rode the charging handle forward. The 24" heavy barrel let you know you had no lightweight carbine for running a...
Does it shoot poorly with just one load or with a variety of loads that do well in the gun sans the can? Odd that it happens with only the OBR. There's another poster here, 1slowz71 is his handle, I think, that also has accuracy issues with his YHM Ti QD can. Oh, and go Red Raiders! (I'm...
On steel at 50 to 100-ish yards, the 300 makes a heckuva lot more clang than does the .223/5.56, though certainly not as much as a .308. This was with a 16" barrel. I don't expect much difference with the 10.5" barrel as soon as the tax stamp arrives. I see no reason why pinning and welding...
That's a very kind offer, z71! I don't have the QD FH on my gun, yet, but I imagine Silencer Shop wouldn't have a problem giving me the FH from my suppressor--it's paid for.
I had an AR in 7.62x39 and didn't understand the big fuss about the 300 Blackout. Other than a wider variety of magazine options and a better selection of bullets for reloaders, I didn't see any advantage to the 300. My 7.62x39 was cheaper to shoot, and it was slightly more powerful. However...
There are more than 8000 comments submitted, though less than 4000 have been posted. I submitted my comments by fax last week. I wonder if that 8000 number includes mailed and faxed responses or if that's just the comments submitted via the regulations.gov website?
Form 4 Trust YHM Ti Phantom 7.62 Sent: 4-9-2013 (this is the original payment the BATF lost about which they sent the error letter more than two months later) Resent: 6-24-2013 Pending: 8-28-2013 Approved: BATF estimate in early September was May of 2014; I assume that's now no earlier than...
Mike, my experience parallels yours up to the point where you got the check cashed email 2-3 weeks later. I went to the Silencer Shop in early April with my trust and cash in hand. They filed the paperwork and wrote a check for me. Next communication I got was from the Silencer Shop stating...
Performance wise, the two are close enough that it's a toss up. I believe that the one you pick boils down to whether you'll shoot factory ammo or not. If you plan to shoot more factory ammo than reload, go Creedmoor. Hornady's 120 and 140 grn Amax loads run about $1.30 a round at MidwayUSA...
Good point. And the way the language of 41P is written, it seems to imply that CLEOs will have to perform additional background checking on every responsible person of the trust/corp so they can, with clear conscious, state that they have "no information indicating that possession of the...
One of the assumptions that the BATF made when explaining that ATF 41P is not an unfunded mandate was that there was an average of two "responsible persons" per trust/corporation based on a "random" selection of 39 trusts from a particular pile or some such. If we can somehow show that this...
It just got worse. Now the BATF is proposing to ADD CLEO signoff to trusts and corporations, not delete CLEO signoff across the board. See top of page 14: https://www.atf.gov/sites/default/files/assets/inside-atf/2013/082913-wash-machine-guns-destructive-devices-and-certain-other-firearms.pdf
I think your first premise is correct, that the BATF will now require CLEO signoff on trusts and corporations in addition to the existing requirement for individuals. They're not eliminating the signoff, they're extending it, just like the text says on the top of page 14. With regard to your...
