Latest ATF wait times
bigwakes replied to Hershmeister's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
I bought two suppressors from a local shop and they said they were efiling. I gave him pdf's of all docs, but he said he had to mail a check and a copy of forms. I thought it was strange then called the ATF about status and they said it was paper filed. Make sure your shop knows what an Efile is or it could cost you an extra 6 months. -
Latest Class III: Guesses on Wait Time

One went pending in August and approved yesterday. Still not back to my shop yet, but I like progress. First one error free! -
Larger Bore Suppressor for Multi-Caliber Use
bigwakes replied to ncldwell's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
I have the Silencerco Osprey .45 and use it on all pistol calibers. I plan to use it on 300 blackout at some point. Great can with a nice profile. First round pop is louder then I would like but certainly gets the job done. Should have the Liberty Mystic in the next couple of months too. Excited to try it out. -
I have a Generac 5500 that I converted to Propane. I also have a 500 gallon propane tank. I still need to get the fittings to set it up on the tank. Just using 20 and 30 pound tanks for now.

I have a heat pump and woke to 9 degrees with the power out. We have 3 sets of propane logs for a back up and glad we had them this morning.

I got one before they had the threaded barrel available. Sent it to a shop to chop the barrel to 16 1/4 and thread it. Next to my 10/22 Charger pistol it's my go to 22. Awesome concept and great execution.

NFA processing has been suspended

Awesome! Mine was April 21st. Maybe a Christmas present from Barrack? I do have an evil trust though. -
I load the 175gr pulled Sierra Matchkings I got from David on the forums. They cycle well out of my 10.5" AAC suppressed and unsuppressed. I think I was around 12 cents a finished round. Started casting but have not loaded any of the cast bullets yet. Waiting on my take down suppressor.

My girls 7 and 4 loved it and said it was one of the best they have seen. Not sure how I got out of that one but luck was certainly on my side.

I read it and my blood pressure went up before I got to the end. Good reminder for sure.

I called the Local ATF office in Brentwood and I was surprised someone answered the phone. He was very nice and wanted to answer all of my questions. I asked if he was getting a paycheck and he said no, but it's against the law for him to not show up to work. I guess some kind of legislation to prevent a strike, but he didn't go into details. I have a form 4 pending too. -
Glock matches are fun with lots of prizes. If you become an armorer you can buy 3 Glocks at the LEO price. I am an armorer, but only mess with my own or a few friends guns for upgrading triggers etc. When I started buying pistols under the GSSF program there was no wait. Now I hear they either want you to sign up for 2 years or you have to wait a certain amount of time before purchasing. Still worth the trouble. Seems like I paid $440 for a basic Glock.

If you can find some military pulled 55gr or 62gr bullets you can load for less then 20 cents a round.

This story and the media coverage is why I'm certain an AR15 was never used in Newtown. The very first security footage was of the bad guy with a scary black rifle. Footage never surfaced in Newtown of the bad guy because an assault rifle was never used but was left in his trunk and discovered that night. Anyway more gun laws equal less gun crime right?

22 LR at Ammo supply warehouse 100 rnd and 5000 rnd box's
bigwakes replied to klamb5's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Yep. $80 a brick. -
I was pretty surprised at some of the guys asking $130 for a brick of .22 and I saw one box of 50 at $25. That's $250 per brick. Didn't see any sell. Decent prices on firearms from what I could tell. Looks like they might try a show in Dyersburg around November.

At least for a full auto firearm you can go through a background check and jump through the BATFE hoops and boom you have a full auto. Not so with a "full auto" knife. They should charge you a $20 tax stamp and let you carry it.

I would rather switch governments.

It's a gun shop in Martin. It's coinciding with the Flea Market, so hopefully will have lots of foot traffic. I'm bringing some Surefire 60 round mags for $90 out the door.
