Alignment rod for 30 cal and 556?
user1776 replied to user1776's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Found a cheap source - McMaster Carr. In case anyone needs this in the future, here's a resource on what parts to purchase: -
Does anyone happen to have either of these? Would love to borrow them for a second to just make sure everything on my firearm and can are nice and aligned before I go and shoot. Located in Nashville, but if you'd trust me with shipping I'm happy to cover your cost and ship it back to you within a day or two.

One downside I've noticed when I use NordVPN on my phone is that my banking apps don't load. Seems they block the some of the IPs used by NordVPN. Thanks steveo50 for those recs. Any reasons for those ones over NordVPN or ExpressVPN (which both market their services very heavily)

Not really. And many of the existing regulations should be reversed. You don't need to tell the government about buying and selling ammo or any accessories. Or how many rounds of ammo you have stored away. You don't need to tell the government you reload ammunition. Or ask them for a license. You don't tell the government you take training classes. Or which range you shoot at. You don't have to apply for a permit to shoot on your own land. Well you don't have to do any of these things... Yet. You can treat this news as no big deal as perhaps you feel it doesn't affect you in any way. I happen to think a government agency that keeps changing its rules is problematic, especially since the 2A is a popular target to erode. But the government does not regulate everything firearm related, and it shouldn't either. Many existing regulations should be reversed.

Yes and who determines intention here? If someone mailed you a 6" tube and then told the ATF you were illegally manufacturing suppressors, and then the ATF visits you and finds out you're on an online forum where people talk about guns and sometimes NFA items, are they going to smack you down with illegally owning a suppressor? What's the point you want to make? That it's no big deal or...?

Saw this yesterday. Many people are having their Form 1 suppressors being denied. They're using the very circular language of the NFA to basically deny anyone who intends to build a suppressor legally by saying that "any part that you intend to use to build a suppressor is by definition already a suppressor." ATF has started to clarify with people reaching out about these rejections with the following (basically MASSIVELY moving the goalposts and deciding they're going to get into our business even more): ATF responding to Quietbore (popular Form 1 Kit provider) on the new requirements they've decided they're going to impose (with no new changes in the law by the way... just a whim of the unelected administrators) Quietbore asking "Is form 1 being done away with" (I'm paraphrasing) Quietbore responds to the ATF: ATF responds back to Quietbore - confirming they are going to massively restrict Form 1 legal building of suppressors at home: This new restriction on "no solvent trap or kits" is just BS and part of the slow march towards everything firearm related being regulated by the government. This is a new direction the ATF is trying to take to impede on more rights (related: while they also continue to build out their gun registry *with nearly 1billion records on firearm transactions* by absorbing all the forms FFLs who are closing up shop/going out of business have to send over to them and creating a digital database. Contact our Senators and Representatives to fight back against this crap!

Question about police parked on the side of the road at night
user1776 replied to jeff43's topic in General Chat
I'd guess they're fishing but curious to see what folks report back who know cops or are cops. When people speeding see a cop car by the side of the road, they generally slow down for a bit. Could be that's the goal too -
Driving to California with handgun
user1776 replied to gearyr's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
CA doesn't recognize the enhanced carry permit we have in TN, so you wouldn't be able to carry there. As for keeping it in the car, seems like you're able to do that fine as long as the gun is unloaded and either locked in a case if in car portion OR locked in the trunk.

TN Permit Holders to be classed as LEOs?
user1776 replied to Grayfox54's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Off topic thought... but the way bills are written really annoys me. If you are modifying a portion of the existing TN code... there should be built-in links that take you to that section of the code so that readers of the bill can EASILY look up what is being modified and develop a better understanding of it. It took me a few minutes to find the portion of the TN code being modified... but I know it would take my parents far longer and they might decide it's not worth the hassle partway through. Adding a link to the TN code whenever you introduce a bill modifying that section should become a requirement when authoring bills! -
TN Permit Holders to be classed as LEOs?
user1776 replied to Grayfox54's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
The only limitations, as I am understanding it, are where FEDERAL LAW prohibits carrying, and in TN courtrooms. You can carry in schools if this bill passes as long as you let the principal know. For those interested in the reading of the bills, they are quite simple and only a few sentences: SB2523: https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/112/Bill/SB2523.pdf HB2554: https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/112/Bill/HB2554.pdf And here is the portion of the TN code that is modified by above bills (part D) only. Gives EHCP holders the authority to carry in all places except places prohibited by FEDERAL LAW or SECTION C : https://law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/2010/title-39/chapter-17/part-13/39-17-1350/ And here is a list of opinions that are relevant to questions about carrying: Authority of an Off-duty Law Enforcement Officer to Carry a Firearm on Public or Private Property (tn.gov) While it would allow you to carry in a place that posts a prohibition to carrying... the property owner can always ask you to leave. This doesn't give EHCP holders the right to trespass! (At least I hope not!) -

Vacuum sealing ammo in boxes for storage?
user1776 replied to jeff43's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I'll take some of them primers off your hands! Yep, they have products where you can do custom sized bags. I have a cheaper Foodsaver I picked up from Kohls or Costco and it works fine. Haven't vacuum packed ammo but have done large bags of flour that are probably the same size as 500rds of 556. I bet you can do 500rds pretty easily, and 1000 if you don't mind a long bag. -
Politifact regularly lies. I don't know about this one because I refuse to use their site now, but be wary of Amy fact checks done by them. They tried to claim Biden never looked at his watch, even when all video evidence showed the contrary. Afterwards they updated it to "missing context" and still made a fib about when and where he checked his watch. More than fact checking, they give coverage to left leaning sites.

Varget and H4350 available on Brownells right now (11/29/21)
user1776 replied to user1776's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Hopefully someone got it! They had Retumbo this morning as well but out by the time I posted. If you're not on Discord yet, that is a great place. It's an online chat room basically with about 18,000 reloaders across the country chatting/discussing/monitoring when components go up for sale on a website. Here's an invite link to it. Be warned it gets descended on by a pack of hungry reloaders, so good deals sell out quick: https://discord.gg/reloading Also, it might drive you crazy with how many notifications you get on your phone/computer if you join this server. You can set it up so you ONLY get notified about powder drops, or primer drops, or projectiles...etc. and mute the rest of the channels. They're generally friendly there so if you have questions ask away. If people have questions, I can take some screenshots and share how to do that. -

This whole trial is a distraction. Pretty obviously should be an acquittal. If there isn't, it's because of reasons other than justice. Meanwhile, the real attention should be on what is the federal government doing during this time where everyone's attention is entirely focused on the trial. Encouraging more illegal immigration through Texas? Allowing more cartels to smuggle whatever they want in through the federally managed lands along the border? Pay attention to what China's doing in this time period as well. These big media circus shows are always a distraction from whatever is really happening that isn't getting all this media coverage.
