Are you needing it to cut therad or just chase some threads? Dolomite

They DO NOT buy their guns directly from the manufacturer, at least not most of them. They might get a few special runs but if it is a run of the mill firearm it comes from a distributor. Go into any Walmart and ask to see their distributor catalog. They have a catalog with every single gun they have or can get in that catalog. It used to be Lipsey's up until a few years ago but I have not really dug into who is supplying Walmart these days but it most definitely is a distributor and not directly from the manufacturers. Dolomite

As I have said in recent threads the issue should be whether a person has proven to be violent with a conviction of a violent crime. And not being able to manage your money is hardly violent. Dolomite

I had a guy come in with a bandsaw mill. He setup his mill then bought the logs at .10 a board foot in the log then he sold them back to me for .25 a board foot after it was sawed. It cost us under $1,000 for the lumber to build the house. We did have to spend a few hundred on the interior wall lumber. The same lumber would have cost me $8,000 if I walked into Home Depot and buy it. Dolomite

I choose Gunkote because it can be bought in a aerosol can. It is no where near as durable as Cerakote. You owe me nothing, I am here to help. Dolomite

Hope you aren't paying more than $35 for it. Looks like some used it for a suppressed gun. Dolomite

Look around for me. Because you are in "horse country" we might find a decent one that would be worth the drive. Don't go crazy but when you are cruzing Craigslist just look. Dolomite

I came across this and thought it was absolutely amazing. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zGnxeSbb3g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zGnxeSbb3g[/url] And here is his youtube channel with a bunch more of his videos. Well worth the time to look around. Dolomite

My wife is in the market for a new horse trailer. We have searched high and low but now I need help finding dealers in the Knoxville area or within an hour of Knoxville. If anyone knows of a dealer please post it here. Or if you know of any friends or relatives that have one please let me know. It needs to be an ALUMINUM gooseneck horse trailer. Must be at least a 2 horse, but no larger than a 3 horse, and must be a slant load. Thanks Dolomite

[quote name='greyofk' timestamp='1354411199' post='853580'] I studied the geometry and loading data for .400 Corbon. I also read a lot of reviews and range reports about this cartridge. I've got impression that reliability issues prevented widespread of this (excellent in theory) round. In theory a bottleneck case should feed better than a straight case. In real life it mostly depends on the magazine. Most of .400 Corbon handguns were converted from .45 ACP. I had not heard about any special mags. My questions are: 1. Who ever had .400 gun or converted other calibre to .400? [color=#0000FF]Yes, I fired 5 rounds and converted it back to 45 ACP[/color] 2. How reliable was the action? [color=#0000FF]100% reliable. Bottleneck calibers tend to be more reliable than straight walled calibers. Like 357 sig or 7.62x25 Tokarev[/color] 3. Did you use factory loads or handloads? [color=#0000FF]I used Factory Corbon ammo. 135 grain stuff at 1,450 fps[/color] 4. Did you make .400 brass from .45 ACP brass? [color=#0000FF]You can but it is recommended to use 45 Super because it has a thicker web to guard against the extra pressures. I have heard of people using .308 brass and cutting it down[/color] 5. How did the gun function with your handloads? [color=#0000FF]Never used handloads but if I had kept the caliber I would have loaded my own ammo[/color] [/quote] Do you own a 400 Corbon? Dolomite

[indent=1]Prep is everything for a quality end result. I have used Gunkote, not Cerakote, dozens of times and has turned out great. Because just like anything else the work you put in prior to applying the finish will determine how well it comes out.[/indent] [indent=1] If you have a compressor, even a small one, you can buy small hand held media blasters for less than $15 at Harbor Freight or Northern Tool. If not most automotive shops have blast cabinets and would probably let you use it for either a small fee or free if they think what you are doing is interesting. If all else fails then you can use sand paper to roughen the surface. It is not ideal but it will work. Use gloves, respirator (not a particle mask) and safety glasses when working with everything. To keep your skin oils off the parts as well as keep potentially harmful stuff off of you, out of your lungs and out of your eyes. When you start boiling the solution go ahead and preheat the oven to the required temp. I normally run it at 200 degrees when I am using Gunkote. [b]Here is what I do:[/b] Disassemble the parts to be coated as completely as you can Clean and degrease all the parts the best you can using non-chorinated brake cleaner Media blast or sand all the parts to be coated (I used medium aluminum oxide from Northern Tool) Bring a pot of 1/2 gallon distilled water and 1/2 gallon Simple Green to near boil As the bubbles start to form remove from heat, letting it sit for a minute or so to allow the temp to equalize Place the parts to be coated in the Simple Green solution and let it sit for about 15 minutes [color=red][b]***Do not breath the steam***[/b][/color] Stir the parts occasionally to help break any oils loose At the same time start boiling some distilled water and turn your oven on its lowest setting When it starts to boil remove from heat, letting it sit for a minute or so to allow the temp to equalize Remove the parts from the Simple Green solution and place in the distilled water for another 15 minutes [color=red][b]***Do not breath the steam***[/b][/color] Remove the parts from the water and place them in the oven long enough for all the water to evaporate Remove the parts [b]one[/b] at a time, not all at the same time, and coat them according to the instructions*[/indent] *If you remove them all at the same time and the first ones will be warmer than the last ones causing them to look different This is the down and dirty way I have done it for the last few years and works great. I have only done handguns and small parts but I have went thru at least 4 cans of Gunkote so far. If you have any quesitons feel free to ask. The prep is going to be the same regardless of the coating used, be it Cerakote, Gunkote, Durakote or even Krylon. Even spary on paints like Krylon are very durable once the proper prep is done and it is baked on. Dolomite

Good looking knives for a first try. Only going to get better with practice. Dolomite

[quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1354365278' post='853311'] Who takes up arms first is irrelevant. There will be no bloodless secession. Signing a petition is pointless especially one that is only symbolic. If people really want to effect change that can happen when they get their hands dirty and get involved in the process - get out from behind their keyboards and their TVs and go to meeting or run for office or work for a candidate. If they think civil disobedience is the way to go then they actually need to engage in some. This "petition" isn't worth the electrons it takes to generate it. [/quote] + 1,000,000 This is exactly what I have said in several of the threads regarding the election since November. If everyone who is sore at the outcome of this election had done more than just vote maybe the outcome would have been different. It doesn't cost any money to help. Anyone can volunteer or talk to anyone who will listen. Even putting a sign in the yard could have made a difference. If people want to change the system they have to do it from within. And if you secede you are no longer within. Dolomite

He was in violation of the law. Dolomite

You also need to use a rifle length recoil spring. A carbine length recoil spring will not have enough force to reliably run. Dolomite

When you "manufacture" you are building with the intent to sell. If you "make" them you are building them for yourself. The ATF makes a distinction between "manufacturing" and "making". I know it is silly but the ATF is the one who use specific wording. To us there is no difference between the words "build", "make" or "manufacture" but to the ATF there [u]is[/u] a real difference. Here is the rules on "making" a NFA item by a nonlicensee: [url="http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8-chapter-6.pdf"]http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8-chapter-6.pdf[/url] BTW, this is the one that applies to the OP And here are the rules on "manufacturing": [url="http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8-chapter-7.pdf"]http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8-chapter-7.pdf[/url] This is what would apply to say AAC, Surefire or any of the other "manufacturers".

Or if you fired the second barrel a split second after the first you could find yourself in a bit of trouble. The fired case is supposed to dwell in the chamber to allow pressures to drop. Dolomite

I use a 45 degree chamfer bit from the hardware store. I chuck it into a drill and cut the crimp out. You can find the bits for under $3. You can also use the bit by hand. Dolomite

No you don't have to go to a dealer to build your own. Yes, it is perfectly legal in thsi state to build your own providing you get approval. Basically you do this. Go to the class 3 dealer and ask for a NFA packet. That way you get the correct fingerprint cards. Then you download a Form 1, [u]NOT THE FORM 4[/u], and fill it out. Then you have local LE do your fingerprints on the cards and have the sheriff sign the back of the Form 4. Then you have two passport photos made and put your name, DOB and SSN on the back. You also need to do the compliance form. Make two copies of your Form 4. Attach a photo to the orginal Form 1 and to a copy of the Form 1 in the appropriate place. Put those, the fingerprint cards, compliance form and a MO or check for $200 in an envelope and mail it in. Wait 6 months until you get the approved form back then you can build your suppressor. After about a month you will go pending. Then after that you are looking at about 3-4 months for approval. You can call and check status but even if they tell you that you are approved over the phone you cannot start until the form is in hand. If you want I can give you my number and we can go more in depth with the process over the phone. There are a few particulars on the form than can get a little confusing. I made a Form 1 suppressor last year and I am getting ready to submit another for a 30 caliber can as well as a SBR. It is no more difficult than getting a passport. Form 1: [url="http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-2008-1.pdf"]http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-2008-1.pdf[/url] Compliance form: [url="http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5330-20.pdf"]http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5330-20.pdf[/url] Form 1 is an application to make while a Form 4 is an application to transfer.

With my can on my Cricket pistol the Quiet 22 ammo is quieter than my slingshot. And it is really accurate when you compare it to CB rounds. Dolomite

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Yes, the laws are, for the most part, idiotic. I think what caused all this confusion is when they quite making laws and started making decisions on what is legal and what isn't. And that isn't the biggest cause of problems, it is the fact that you cannot get the same answer from every agent. That is why you need a letter in writing to now be legal. I was told by a person way up the food chain that a plan I had was perfectly legal but to write a letter to cover myself from an overzealous local agent. Well I wrote that letter and a low level agent said it was NOT legal. I called the person up in the food chain who told me it was legal to get him to allow it and he said he would not change the low level agents ruling. He went on to say I should have sent the letter directly to him but now there was nothing that could be done to change the ruling.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][url="http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-2008-1.pdf"]http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-2008-1.pdf[/url][/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][quote][/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA) at 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(23), and the National Firearms[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Act (NFA) at 26 U.S.C. 5845(, define the term “machinegun” as “any weapon which[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.”[/quote][/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]As far as the slidefire stocks go there was the Adkins Accelerator that was the precursor.

The ATF initially ruled it was perfectly legal then went back and stated it was illegal with the spring installed. After that the Slidefire came out that used manual pressure rather than a spring. The spring made the Adkins Accelerator illegal and woud render the Slidefire illegal as well if a spring replaced the manual forward pressure.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]As far as stupid laws go the SBR, SBS, AOW and supppressor laws should [u]NOT[/u] be in place.

M&P 22 is the top choice for AR's in 22. I would rather have a 10/22 because they are user customizable. Dolomite

Ok, for those who are for seceding what will you be to the US after you secede? You will no longer be able to effect the change this nation needs. You will be begging to come back within months. Those that are willing to give up on the country by seceding should never allowed any of the benefits of this country. As screwed up as our legislators are leaving the country will not help the country. And just as a matter of fact if we, as a state, were to secede hundreds of thousands would starve. And for what? To say "we really showed them". Dolomite

The ATF do allow "sporting exemptions" for certain firearms. That is probably what has happened here. Just like several "sporting" rifles with rifles bores larger than .5". Dolomite

But, regardless of how silly, it is a law. And it is the ATF that is choosing not to enforce it but they could if they wanted to. There are thousands of laws on the books that should not be. But it is easier to ignore, or not enforce, them than to repeal them. Dolomite
