A CBS report confirmed that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives used Operation Fast and Furious as a means to pass gun control. Many of you are probably saying, “Duh, that was a given.” But now, thanks to intrepid reporter Sharyl Attkisson, we have proof of this fact. And the proof is in emails sent back and forth between ATF officials regarding a document known as “Demand Letter 3.” What is “Demand Letter 3”? “Demand Letter 3” is the long-gun multiple purchases tracking measure for border-states that the ATF, in conjunction with the Obama Administration, tried to ram down the throats of law-abiding gun owners and Federal Firearm Licensees this past April. It was coined “Demand Letter 3” because it’s the third ATF initiative in recent years to force gun dealers to report tracing information. Here is an email response that shows how the ATF was using its own flawed gunwalking tactics to build a case for the long-gun multiple sales mandate: On July 14, 2010 after ATF headquarters in Washington D.C. received an update on Fast and Furious, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, ATF's Phoenix Special Agent in Charge of Fast and Furious: "Bill - can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks." And here is another example, taken from the same CBS report: On Jan. 4, 2011, as ATF prepared a press conference to announce arrests in Fast and Furious, Newell saw it as "(A)nother time to address Multiple Sale on Long Guns issue." And a day after the press conference, Chait emailed Newell: "Bill--well done yesterday... (I)n light of our request for Demand letter 3, this case could be a strong supporting factor if we can determine how many multiple sales of long guns occurred during the course of this case." Wow. It’s now crystal clear that the ATF was fishing for evidence it had planted itself to build a case for gun control. "There's plenty of evidence showing that this administration planned to use the tragedies of Fast and Furious as rationale to further their goals of a long gun reporting requirement. But, we've learned from our investigation that reporting multiple long gun sales would do nothing to stop the flow of firearms to known straw purchasers because many Federal Firearms Dealers are already voluntarily reporting suspicious transactions. It's pretty clear that the problem isn't lack of burdensome reporting requirements,” Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), who along with Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif) is investigating Fast and Furious, told CBS. In a letter dated July 12, 2011, Sen. Grassley and Rep. Issa asked Attorney General Eric Holder if his agency discussed how "Fast and Furious could be used to justify additional regulatory authorities." They have not yet received a straight answer. "In light of the evidence, the Justice Department's refusal to answer questions about the role Operation Fast and Furious was supposed to play in advancing new firearms regulations is simply unacceptable," Rep. Issa told CBS News.

The draft would be a nicety. That's all in the hands of the SMF folks. One of the things about this site is you have to read all threads. They often lead down roads that have nothing to do with the original post.

<laughs> Fantastic!!!!

yep and I meant as a group <thumbsup>

The bolt should not be altered. Does the original DPMS bolt work? Some of the se DPMS weapons are tight new. I had one that had issues. I greased up the bolt lugs and cyclyed the action on an empty chamber a shit load of times. Solved the issue. I also head a boly carrier where the bolt was very tight and had difficulty rotating Brownells has an AGI video that explains how to properly verify headspace. It's a little dated and quite boring but worth it for that section alone.

They work well <thumbsup>

welcome

Nope my idea is two parts ;D

Anyone else thinking of getting a few and painting them Red, Green and Gold and using them as ornaments? I have a Velentines idea too but Ill save that one ;D

There's probably a few other adjectives that describe you and I <thumbsup>

It was the booze talking

Thanks guys. Keep it coming

When I set out to start doing websites and forums a few years ago I had a few goals. 1. No elitism 2. Friendly and fun 3.Gentle to newbies and no question is stupid. 4.Promote the platform(s) 5. Raise awareness and understanding of the variations and differences. (everything isn't an AR-10, no 308 uppers on AR-15's etc ) Have we succeeded? Are we different? Not looking for praise, just honest feedback. You wont hurt my feelings.

Welcome!

Dont forget we have a forum dedicated to IRA

YES the BCG's are interchangeable but the bolt must match the barrel extension being used. To use an Armalite BCG in a DPMS barrel you need to use a DPMS bolt in the Armalite carrier. I personally dont like that idea. Forum wars have been fought over the .308/7.62 issue. ;D

I dont know of an off the shelf barrel that meets your criteria.If I did I probably would have bought it too :)

FWIW Don't discount Armalite AR-10 uppers and parts. They have been doing this a long time and get it right. Rainier Ultramatch is probably one of the best values on 308 premium barrels out there

Upgraded you folks <thumbsup>

When you get some ammo please post a picture with some other ammo for comparison

Welcome!!!

Not the weather. ;D

I was on them from the day the product was announced. They hooked me up on the initial run and I had it before product manufacturers. Told them I would use it in my photo's and true to my word it's been in nearly every product shot, even fishing tackle <laughs>

I watched it with envy. <thumbsup>
