Please link the policy. I can't seem to find that reason anywhere in the NPS policies.

We are required to pay Tennessee tax on Amazon orders as well as anything else ordered from outside Tennessee. It is a "use" tax rather than a sales tax but the rates are the same.

The only Ti is the outer tube, at least for now. I have spoke to several people who machine Ti and they said a really sharp tool is mandatory.

At some point using lethal force to protect property is going to keep this from happening.

The law is being changed. It is under review and will go into effect shortly unless there is good cause for it not to be.

  Our country is lost. All hope is now gone, no sense in even making an effort.   Heck, thank you for enlightening me and saving me all those phone calls, letters and emails. I will just sit here in silent protest and not lift a finger.

My next can will be one I build. Here is what my 30 caliber can will look like: It will have a .3", .15" on each side, "expansion" chamber all the way around the inner core. I am hoping that is enough but I guess it has to be because I cannot go any bigger on the outside and do not want to go any smaller in the inside. Basically all the gasses are supposed to go into the outer shell and get trapped. Should not be a lot left to go down the K baffle core when shooting subsonics. Half the K baffles will be at 60 degrees and some at 45 degrees. And during the build I will test it and hopefully I can eliminate some of the K baffles as well as the length. I will be using 316SS for everything except the outer tube which will be titanium to try to save a little weight. I am going to cut grooves in the end caps where the outer tube slides over. Should allow me to prevent gasses from exiting without the need for O rings. Almost like they do for model engines and some 2 stroke engines. But even if I need to use an Oring it is easy to add a high temp one. Something else that has really intrigued me is sound cancelling like some of the mufflers out there but that would require a lot of research and costs I cannot afford.

  Think you can't stop those who receive benefits? If we, as a nation, called those representatives that give it away every single day they would change their opinion. Demand they reduce the benefits like what has recently happened but also demand they continue to reduce the funds. At some point those who receive them will realize that working will get them more. There are some who will never do that but in the last 5 years there have been droves that have chosen welfare over working.   I agree that laws are being used to take away our freedoms but those laws, and those who passed them, can be removed through the process I mentioned earlier but we have to work and not wait to vote.   We have not got to a point where the process no longer works, we are just at a point where most people are to lazy to use the process. And most times they only use it when it impacts them personally and even then some will just sit in silent protest. I understand we are frustrated because the last 15 presidents have slowly eroded our freedoms but that is not the fault of the government. We want to blame the government but the person who should garner 99.9% of the blame is the person viewed in the mirror for not wanting to use the process. And now that someone else has used the process to beat us we are upset.   So lets see. Those who are in office and taking bribes just walked into that position? No, they were voted in by people who used the process. If you don't like what they are doing then call every single representative, including the offenders, and tell them what needs to happen. Sitting in silence, complaining on the internet, is not the process process that gets these people out of office.   Cruz will likely be a distant memory in a few election cycles. He will go grab his fair share and then hopefully leave. It has played out over and over again. A new representative comes in wanting to change the world then they ALWAYS give in. So yes I would rather have a government full of newly elected officials still wanting to change the world than someone who will have compromised themselves by their second term. I seem to recal Chris Christie being the conservative savior not to long ago and see where he is now? Cruz will follow his footsteps like hundreds before him and the only way to stop it is to stop them after their first term. So yes I have every intention of voting against every single incumbent.

Not really. Do you really want to find your termination papers sitting on the public printer?   If I were to make a smoothbore pistol it would not be loaded with a jacketed bullet. It would be loaded the same way they were 200+ years ago, with soft lead round ball. A soft led bullet will expand larger than most jacketed bullets. The reason for jacketed bullets, at least initially, was to make feeding more reliable in auto loaders. Now they help with expansion, as in reducing the amount of expansion to ensure they get enough penetration.

How many calls have you made to a representative in the last 6 months? In the last year? In the last decade?

How about rather say nothing will come of this we all start making calls and sending emails. Not to those who want to impeach him but to those who would not want to impeach him. We don't need to convince those that are doing it that they are in the right, we need to convince those who think Holder is in the right. I guarantee if everyone made a call a day it would soon make them think about their next term and they would do the right thing.

I was just saying there is a process to remove the various ammendments and just because we don't agree with it doesn't invalidate the process or give us cause to take up arms against the government.   Everything we complain about every day can be reversed. Problem is we are too lazy to make the calls, donate time or money or even get out to vote. I get tired of hearing people say they are not going to vote because they do not like the candidates. It is especially upsetting when I get a deer in the headlights look when I asked them what they did to support their candidate. Those same people who cry foul when election time comes refused to support THEIR candidate months or years earlier then on election day. Then they sit in silence and refuse to vote as a means of protest. No wonder we have lost the country, we allow our adversaries to win by default because we don't want to put in the same work they are willing to do. We expect our representatives to know what WE want without us calling them. They are not clairvoyants.   We all came together to make sure out ARs/AKs were not outlawed, why can't we do the same for something else like the ACA? If you want to reverse the ACA then you have to put in the effort that our opposition did. I bet if every person unhappy with the ACA called their representative every day from now on it would be on national news and within weeks it would be reversed. How many here called before it was passed to voice their opinion? How many have even called since it was passed to voice their opinion?   Or how about calling another representative? Just because our state seems relatively safe, which we aren't, from the liberal agenda doesn't mean we are safe. Make calls to those who represent people who are in jeopardy of loosing and stop the momentum before it reaches our borders. There is no law that says I cannot call some representative from another state and raise hell. They call our representatives from other states or use our own courts to beat us yet we, again, sit in silence to protest what is happening.   And all of this is the process by which we make sure we put this country back, not taking up arms. When it comes time I will fight against those who intend to subvert the process, be it fellow citizens or those in government. Right now the process is still working but we have to put forth at least some effort.

  Anyone should be able to consume anything they want so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. If I want to destroy my body it is my choice and I do not need anyone else to save me from myself.

Get convicted of domestic violence and tell me how your unalienable right fairs afterwards. If a right cannot be taken away then how does that happen? A right cannot be taken away, a priviledge can.   You have a right to protect yourself, the tools you use are a priviledge given to you by your fellow man. This has been proven over and over again.

Understandable.

  Absolutely. And they should not be able to do anythng about it. Printing a gun, which is a tool, is the same thing as cutting a limb into a club. In the end all tools should be legal to own and the way bad people use them should be their concern.   I am really looking forward to the Montana case that is making its way through the courts. The guy was making and selling firearms without a FFL. He has been arrested and his case will set a precedent that will either validate or invalidate the various "freedom firearms" laws that states have passed. If it does pass the next step will be challenging the NFA process if the item is made within the borders. And I would love nothing more than to walk out into my garage and hacksaw every barrel I own and attach a homemade suppressor.   Personally it should be a non issue. Firearms, of any type, should not be regulated any more than a shovel or a screwdriver. If I want to own a machine gun, an anti tank missile or a fighter jet I should be allowed to.

It will save you the time and aggravation as well as being cheaper than a new barrel.

JB weld will not hold.   Take it to a smith and have it done right.

Before you spend the money follow the tips above. You might be surprized at how well it works. And worse case scenario you have to buy the parts you plan on buying anyways, best case you save yourself $70 and have a little pride in doing it yourself.

If the means they use to fight is not legal then they are enemies of the state, whether it be with arms or not. Seems to me you liked a post that someone mentions fighting with a fist or a gun. To me that is someone who is implying taking up arms to force his will upon those who he doesn't agree with. Tyranny is not a government exclusive. People can become tyranical as well and has happened all over the world.   I know the governemnt is breaking the law, I will admit it, but taking breaking the law is not what we need to use to correct it otherwise we are no worse than those breaking the law.

Heat will remove it but you are going to have a hard time putting it back on the other barrel. It is possible but it requires a special kind of solder that is pretty expensive. I have tried a bunch of times and with a bunch of materials to solder sights on. And none of them stayed in place for long. I never used the correct silver solder though.   I was actually asking if the full length barrel had a factory mounted pedestal. It sounds like it doesn't.

Just sayign there are a lot of people who have this grand illusion that they have the right to take up arms and "fight" when they do not agree somethign that was legally put in place.

Anyone who attempts to overthrow any part of the government that was legally put in place is an enemy. Just because we do not agree with what is going on now or what may happen in the future doesn't give us the right to overthrow a process that is legal. I will support my government so long as the process they are using is legal and if that requires me to take up arms against others to protect it then so be it. I took an oath for support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Anyone who attempts to illegally change the Constitution is an enemy to the Constitution and to this country.   Our founding fathers put in place a means for change and it has been used before and likely will be used again. But just because we do not agree with the outcome we cannot declare it invalid or illegal. We all love the Constitution when it falls in our favor but cry foul when the same process we used is then used against us.   A Consitutional Convention that removes any ammendment would be legal and anyone who would attempt to subvert the Constitution or the process by which it is changed is a enemy.    And trust me when I say that making phone calls, sending emails, donating money right now is a lot easier and safer than fighting later.   I have said for a very long time that people want to complain but do not want to put forth the effort to ensure the representatives up for election do represent them. We do not make calls, do not volunteer, do not engage people in conversation or donate to those we want to win. Then when we don't get to vote for the person we didn't support we refuse to vote in protest. How many of us actually did ANYTHING to help their chosen candidate? If you want to change the country it takes more just waiting to see if the person is on the ballot is someone you would vote for.   That is why the liberals have us beat and always will as long a we don't do the same. They get out and talk to people, they organize, they donate and they are very vocal. On the other hand Republicans sit in silence as their means of protest. I suggest we all take our angst and become more outspoken. Call your candidate and voice your support. Contact others and let them know who your support. Volunteer or donate to show your support. Heck, a few emails a day will go a long way. This will do more than sitting in silence waiting to vote for a candidate that has ZERO chance of winning against a candidate that is organized much better than we are. Sitting around doing nothing accomplishes nothing.
