  There is no such thing as a midlength when it comes to the 300 although that would remove a lot of the problems out there.   A pistol length gas system will cycle with subsonics or low powered loads even without a suppressor. A carbine length system is hit or miss at best unless you install non standard parts like lightweight buffers or lightweight recoil springs. With a carbine length gas system you are going to be stuck with a few kinds of powders and a few kinds of bullets at best. At worst they might not work at all.   If you want the most flexibility you want a pistol length system. I can use a very wide variety of powders. I have used Lil'Gun, N110, H4227, A1680, H4198, A2015, SMP842 and A1680 to shoot both subs and supers in my gun. The gun cycles perfectly and the only variable is that some powders have lower velocities than others but they ALL cycle reliably. I can shoot 180's at subsonic velocities as well as 245 grain cast bullets at under 800 fps. And I do not need special buffers or springs, just what any 5.56 lower comes with. I have joked that I bet my gun will cycle with blackpowder. I need to get some to try.   With a pistol length gas system you can use an adjustable gas block to artificially lengthen the gas system but you cannot artificially shorten the carbine gas system.   I will make this offer to anyone considering building or buying a 300 Blackout. Contact me first so we can make sure you are successful the first time. Prices are crazy right now and there is no sense in spending a ton of money only to be frustrated.

Not condoning it but $100,000 a year isn't all that far out of line. Depending on the tulip those 1,000 could cost close to $20,000. Also, they are buying up all kinds of supplies and planting boxes. $100,000 goes quick when you are talking large scale stuff like what they describe.   I am not disputing the fact that this probably does cost $100,000 a year. I would be disputing whether we really need it right now.

The prices are not crazy if you are willing to shop around and wait for a deal. I can't remember where but I recently seen brand new barrels for under $150 which are about the same as pre panic prices. Upper receivers are still reasonable as are parts kits as long as you don't panic buy. LPK's have popped up at a few places for under $70. The rest can be found in the classifieds of different websites a piece at a time.

And one more great reason is when your 5.56 brass gets worn out and starts splitting case necks you can use them to make 300BO brass.

I used to bad mouth the 300BO. Then I decided to give it a try. It is an amazing caliber that does two things well. It shoots lightweight bullets fast and heavy bullets slow extremely well. And if you use a pistol length gas system it is very reliable with all kinds of powders and bullet weights. Carbine length gas system is only good for supersonic rounds or heavy, suppressed rounds. Carbine will not work with a subsonic loads without a can. Some say what is the point in shooting subsonic without a can but there are several reasons why. First the recoil is a lot less, second it costs less to reload and the noise level is less.

The video is just to prove how stupid people are. I don't think he is serious. Kind of like the "stop women's suffrage" video a while back.

At $180 a brick I will just go buy a high end pellet rifle in 22 caliber. I can do anything with it I an with a 22 lr. They are quieter as well which suits me more for survival anyways.   For cheap shooting I will just continue to shoot my 300 Blackout for 4.4 cents a round. And when I get my suppressor done for it it will be as quiet as my suppressed 22's are now.

Maybe a long range precision 300 Blackout with a 20"+ barrel. Or maybe get it SBR'd on a Form 1.

I have provided all the information you need. There are dozens of example letters to the ATF that state what I stated is indeed fact. I cannot guarantee local LE will not hassle you because the vast majority are clueless to NFA rules. But in the end you are not required to show your NFA documents because they are protected tax records. And those with the authority to see them would not want to see the copy most of us carry around. You could print off a copy of the ruling and carry it with the "firearm" to prove its legality. Or if you are still unclear then write a letter to the ATF. Then wait three months for a response that is identical to what you have already been told. You are more than welcome to do the research I have done. I will research to see if there is any Tennessee specific laws but they generally mirror federal laws.

  He will come around. It is just a matter of time.

  A shotgun, or rifle, by definition has a shoulder stock. The one above does not have, and did not start with, one. Therefore it is not, and never was, a "shotgun". So if it is not a "shotgun" then does it meet the definition of "pistol"? A pistol requires rifling in the bore so it does not meet the definition of a "pistol". So if the gun pictured does not meet the requirements for "shotgun" or "pistol" or "rifle" then by default it only needs to meet definition of "firearm" so it only has one requirement. It must be 26" or longer overall so doesn't require NFA registration. There is not barrel length requirement for a "firearm", only the minimum overall length.   Also, if the gun pictured was under 26" it would not be a SBS, because it does not have a shoulder stock, but it would be a AOW. But that is only if it was under 26" overall. A shotgun can be over 26" and still be a NFA item if the barrel is under 18". Because the gun pictured did not start life as a "shotgun" and it only need to be 26" regardless of barrel length.   A SBS is required to either have a shoulder stock or started life with a shoulder stock. And there is no overall length requirement for a SBS only a barrel length of under 18".   And in order for a shotgun to be a SBS it must start life as a shotgun and by definition a shotgun is required to have a should stock. There is no such thing as a short barreled "firearm". Only SBR or SBS and both of those require a shoulder stock as part of the definition and the one pictured does not have a shoulder stock therefore it does not meet the requirement for a SBS.   I have posted ATF letters regarding that specific "firearm". They say it is NOT a SBS and it IS a firearm. The gun sent to the ATF had a 14" barrel and a overall length of 26"+. the ATF stated it did not require registration because it did not meet the definition of "rifle", "shotgun" or "pistol".

Anything to stem the tide of rabid chipmunks.   It is indeed a REAL gun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2H2peoX174

If he was living in California then he was a Californian and not a Tennesseean. I wonder if charges would have been dropped had evidence of zombies been found? According to the article he was charged because no evidence was found.

At least one for me.

I always ask for ID to verify they are TN residents. I generally ask for a HCP first and if they say they don't have one I ask why then ask for their TN ID. I also ask if they are allowed to have guns. Then, if the spidey senses don't go off, I sell the gun.   The only time I have a person sign a bill of sale is if the gun has issues. I let them know about the issues then get the buyer to sign a bill of sale saying there are not any warranties.   BTW, I think I have sold probably 5 guns in as many years.   This begs a question though. If a person is doing an "investigation" for a news organization can they break the law and get away with it?

I would hope so because the only difference I see between most "Republicans" and "Democrats" is that little letter next to their name on the ballot.

I just sent this email

Support anyone but those. I have said for a long time I will no longer vote for an encumbant. The reason is I would rather take a chance on someone I do not know than someone who has proven to not represent me.

Taurus will fix it. It might take a little longer than quoted or you might get it back in 2 weeks. I have found that they are either really quick or really slow. I have had to deal with them on several occassions. And trust me it is better to send the gun back than to order the part. I called and ordered a part I needed and they sent the wrong one.

They probably seen the price of 9mm and wanted to retire early by stealing it. Next will be claims those guns are in the US in the hands of gun owners or in Mexico.

  Does it remove sand? If not I am not so sure it will help.

If a gun is out of a case or safe it is loaded. And I have several guns available to me at all times and they are always loaded. A gun that is locked up is useless and you have no idea when a bad guy will come to visit.   I have always had loaded firearms around the house, even when our son was young. He was desensitized to them early on so the novelty of them wasn't there. He never touched one he wasn't supposed to touch. Shielding a child from anything increases their interest in it. Exposing them to the item removes their curiosity. To my son a gun is just a tool just like a hammer or screwdriver.   When I had relatives over with their young kids the guns were always accessible. The gun would be on a kitchen counter or dining room table and I just threw a washcloth over them to conceal them. Out of sight worked just as well as putting them away. I was also aware of where the kids were at all times.   You can safely have a firearm readily accessible around children. You do need to be aware and pay attention.

You can get most prescription glasses with ballistic protection. I think it only costs like $20 to add it. Those of us with an astigmatism can benefit a lot from the correct pair of glasses. I never knew how bad mine was or how good those red dots sights were until I had corrective lenses made. Before I had two little dots and I knew to always use the top one. Now the dot is crisp and ROUND.   You can get a cheap set of ballistic glasses with your prescription for under $50 these days.

I will say I have no clue if your load data is good or not though.

If they chamber, feed from the magazine and cycle the gun I would leave as they are.
