What does your dealer charge for Class III/NFA Transfer Fees?

Could somebody take some pictures for me?

This is great stuff. Worthy of a small page on the main site <thumbsup>

Between my missing fingers, no good place to work and the uneven surface of the block this gives me absolute fits. I have yet to find an easy way to get this task done. How do you guys get it done cleanly?

I thought it might be interesting to see how we each handle the most frustrating AR-15 Tasks. I decided the bolt catch roll pin would be a good place to start. Tools 1. Bolt Catch Roll Pin Punch 2. 1" Nylon/Brass Hammer 3. 1" Masking Tape I cover the lower with tape. I then take a piece of tape and roll the tape around 3/4 of the roll pin with the rest rollled to the punch. Keeping it all as as straight as possible. This holds the roll pin securely while driving it in with the hammer. The pin has no trouble sliding out of the tape as it's driven deeper into position. Alternatively I have done the same process with heat shrink tubing with good success. Ill post a few pictures next time I do a build. I also have an idea for a tool to simplify the process. Sadly the milling machine at the office is dead and wont be repaired so I need to work with an outside machine shop. Maybe one day i will get it done and sell the idea to Brownells So how do you guys get it done?

Manassas, VA - “I just want you to know that we are working on it,” Barack Obama told Sarah Brady regarding gun control. “We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar,” Obama said according to Brady. This interesting bit of news was reported in an April 11 Washington Post Lifestyle section story about Obama’s gun control and regulatory policy wonk Steve Croley. Toward the end of the article the writer, Jason Horowitz, mentioned a March 30 meeting between Jim and Sarah Brady and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney during which the President “dropped in.” He then quotes Sarah Brady relating how President Obama gave his personal assurance that he and his administration were working hard on a gun control agenda. Brady reported that Obama then told them about advancing the agenda “under the radar.” What is truly startling about this story is the way it has been totally ignored by the rest of the media. Compare the media’s current silence with what happened during the 2000 presidential campaign when then NRA Vice-President (and GOP activist) Kayne Robinson told a group of rights supporters in California that electing Bush would mean “we’ll have a president where we work out of their office, unbelievably friendly relations.” The media went into a feeding frenzy over this comment to such a degree that Bush distanced himself from the NRA, publicly endorsed reinstatement of the Clinton Assault Weapons Ban and withdrew overt support for the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. The story was carried repeatedly on virtually every major media outlet in the country – and it was not based on anything Bush himself had said. Here the leader of a prominent organization is claiming that the President himself had avowed active support for a highly controversial agenda and admitted that he was violating his own promise of transparency in pursuit of that agenda. Yet the media ignores it. Even the folks at the Brady Bunch are not spreading the news about the stunning reassurances from the President. There is nothing on their web site discussing, or even mentioning Obama’s chat with Jim and Sarah. Just the fact that a groups leaders were cordially welcomed at the White House, much less given a private, informal meeting with the President, would generally be something to crow about, but on their web site Brady’s focus is to “Tell President Obama to Ban Assault Clips!” (Assault Clips?) The “Gunwalker” scandal, the push for registration of long-guns through mandatory reporting of multiple sales, and stricter interpretation of various gun laws are all part of the Obama administrations ongoing “under the radar” attack on rights. The recent ATF “study” on the importability of shotguns is one of the most obvious components of this multi-faceted plot against our rights and it is slipping by with little resistance. As I have previously reported, the ATF “study” examines current laws and practices regarding shotgun imports and concludes that standards need tightening. Like a bank robber wearing a brightly colored hat to distract attention from identifying features, the ATF “study” prominently puts forward a list of features that distinguish non-sporting shotguns from sporting shotguns. As intended, the media, and the rights community, have almost universally focused on this list of features to the exclusion of other critical information in the “study,” most importantly a statement that the real test they intend to employ to determine importability is one of actual use, not features. If an importer cannot demonstrate that a particular shotgun style is popular for use in sports such as bird hunting and trap and skeet shooting, the gun will not be allowed into the country. No more will importers be able to replace “non-sporting” features like folding stocks, and pistol-grips with more traditional, sporting style options to pass ATF “sporting purpose” test. The report specifically disqualifies the very popular and growing sports of 3-Gun and tactical shotgun competitions based on the circuitous logic that since ATF rifle and handgun importability studies of several years ago did not recognized these sports, it would be disruptive for them to be recognized now. Suggestions that import bans could be bypassed by manufacturing the guns in the USA fail to recognize that there are two different places in federal law where almost identical “sporting purpose” language is used: the GCA bases importability on “sporting purpose” and the NFA exempts shotguns from the definition of Destructive Devices based on “sporting purpose.” Once a particular style of shotgun is declared to be “non-sporting” for importation purposes, it is a natural, short step to declaring it “non-sporting” for NFA purposes – which would mean it, and any domestic shotgun of similar design, would automatically be classified as a Destructive Device and subject to all of the restrictions of the NFA. As blatant as Mr. Obama’s “under the radar” assault on the Second Amendment is, it seems that the major media, and even the powerful NRA, have their radars turned off.

+1 for Armalite and not having to wait. Uncle Armalite just posted this.

Guys waiting on RRA please take note <munch>

I mean a dedicated 5.56 is on the wishlist. I understand the 762SD is acceptable in the mean time. <laughs>

Well the 5.56 is on the wishlist. I NEED a TI-RANT 45,Sparrow for .22 and the unit previously mentioned in this thread.

Dude Im scrimping cash so I can order three cans and tax stamps at once. Everything else is secondary. I need another server catastrophe at the office. Anyhow for this build I really just need to select a handguard and buttstock. Im leaning towards the Wilson Combat and maybe the new RRA buttstock. I have some Troy battle sights laying around but I may try something different just for a change. I need to build a 6.8 SPCII upper. I still have the Adams Arms piston kit from last birthday hanging around. <laughs>

Good to know <thumbsup>

Welcome Rick

sweet

That is the one I have picked out. It will depend on availability though

I think you made a great choice.

fantastic

Well I asking in this manner not just for myself but for the benefit of others too. For me there is no hunting and very little chance of competive shooting. For me personally it would be targets, shtf and general duty applications. I would suspect this would be an awesome hunting round in the conditions you desribe

I made a slight change. It will be a little longer to load but it's more dynamic and accurate

Well seeing I have a 16" Wilson Combat Recon Barrel and two boxes of ammo I might as well get this thing built. To that end I thought it might be fun to kick around my choices, options and such. A few things to keep in mind. I live in CT and we have an assault weapons ban. I can build a complete and nuetered weapon or utilize my preban Colt Sporter and do anything I want. Also keep in mind if things go as planned I will have a 7.62 suppressor by winter. So lets start with a basic question. What is the design role of a weapon chambered in 300 aac blackout? <munch>

Thanks guys we just need to remember to look at it once in a while. Also if you find something at Brownells that isnt appearing let me know and Ill make it work

of course when all else fails run a Fulton Armory. Best barrels for the money and as good as money costing much more. jmho

Im thinking Major Jim was accidentally run off
