Drain the fuel out of it and try letting carb cleaner soak into everything for 2-3 hours. It will take a while for the gunk to break down, but it will be less time and money spent than having the thing rebuilt. After the initial cleaning, do one last soak to let all the harder stuff break down and then when you feel like you're in the clear put some fuel in it and go for broke.

I'd love to move you out here and hook you up with some NFA goodies!

That's my NFA dealer! ;D

It's the latter, "Cross Research Trust". I decided not to alias the trust with the acronym to avoid any conflicts.

The short version is that I went the trust route. I had a conversation with my CLEO and he said he would sign off on my forms, given proof that I could legally own one. He made it very clear that he had no problem with me owning one, so I went the trust route because at the time our CLEO was dealing with a high-profile murder case. I used the full name of my trust in every instance just to be on the safe side, so I don't anticipate that being a problem, but they might find something else to try to nag about, ya never know.

The check mailed off on Feb. 20th I believe, they cashed it on the 2nd of this month. My NFA dealer is going to e-mail me my info so I can pester the ATF and find out when I'll be getting it. Supposedly the ATF has hired some contractors to do background tasks for their examiners so they can focus on getting their Form 4 wait times down to about a month. I hope that works out for them.

Welcome to the forums, we're glad to have you! :)

You're getting there! I have to say, if the direction and intent of this project weren't clear, it'd be kinda scary.

I'm just glad I had it all paid for before the job situation went to crap. Otherwise, I might never have decided to get some cool toys.

The ATF has cashed my tax stamp, my dealer has my suppressor in hand and he's shipping the brake to me to install on my barrel. It's just a matter of waiting & bugging the ATF until they approve my Form 4. I'm so excited I can't stand it!

Dave is a Mega Arms dealer and sells at the group buy rate. It's never too late!

Edited out a double paste, but great post anyways.

Ya know, at some point you're going to realize you started to build a rifle and ended up with a light artillery piece. <laughs>

No. NO. If you do it we will tie you to a chair, force bamboo splinters under your fingernails, then pull your fingernails out with pliers. Then we will treat the resulting wound with some rubbing alcohol, followed by table salt. Ok, not really, but I would advise against it. I think it really would be a crazy thing to do. <dontknow>

That's a mighty fine boomstick!

Loading it is far cheaper than emptying it... <laughs>

I did in fact "ring". You're welcome. <laughs>

I'm not far from you at all. If you ever need a spare hand, give me a shout. I'll be PM'ing you some contact info.

Done. :)

Here's what I predict will happen: Mr. Fox will agree to speak to the media and will deny that things transpired exactly as described by Mr. McMillan. Despite the fact that witnesses from both companies were present, the BofA account rep will be pressured to back Mr. Fox's story, and it will be a "his word vs. mine" story and dropped as such.

Thread has been cleaned. Thank you guys for understanding.

I apologize! I get somewhere around 5-10 e-mails a day notifying me of new members, we're ballooning in size and I thought you might be one of the new members of the fold. In any case, glad you're back with us again! <thumbsup>

There are plenty of 2lb triggers out there on .308 ARs and no complaints about safety or reliability. If you need a better trigger to shoot better, don't sell yourself short.

Being that this board is currently not serving it's active function, I'm sure that will be up for consideration when it is reopened. Thank you for your service, welcome to the forums! <thumbsup>
