Time to get the fcuk outta there, Drew. I can't tell you that enough. Moving might seem "impossible..." - but it's completely possible. I've done it enough. You'll survive. You'll survive much better, some-fucking-place else, too.

Nevermind...

How in THE F U C K do the new laws affect bolt guns?!!? This boggles my mind.

Mods, please move this...

Townsville, man, Townsville. I spent about a month and a half over there, around April/May 2001. It's... H E A V E N. :love4:

Play an hour, shoot an hour - it all balances out, my brother. <thumbsup>

I want you to play for me - in person... I'll pay the airfare, and provide the ammo, by the way...

EasyE, there's a bunch of these available right now, in 5.56, new. 11.5, 12.5, etc. If you want a new one, there are even 5.56 12.5" Noveske Crusader barrels in stock right now... Need advice...

This would better be asked in the reloading section - and I hope this gets moved there. No offense - completely wrong section for this question, though.

I've got some more for that - what did you torque the bolts to, as that is important, and did you use sealer on the key before you mounted it to the carrier - which is also important.

Both those bitches are folders, now, too. <thumbsup>

That top one in the pic I listed is a 7.5" with a Noveske KX3 on it. That rail used to be a Midwest 10" SS rail, and I cut it down to about 8.5". The KX3 was inside it, as a 10", by about 1/4". CHOPPED! <laughs> If you run something in the 7~8" range, run a KX3 on it. Take my word for it. If you don't, the concussion is pretty damn awesome...

To determine scope centerline measurement, based on how Warne lists their rings (top of mounting base to bottom of where he scope will mount): 30mm scope is 15mm - 0.59055". Add that to the measurement from Warne, on their rings, and it'll give you scope centerline, with that ring. Warne Highs = 0.59055" + 0.525" listed ring height = 1.11555" scope centerline. Warne Extra Highs = 0.59055" + 0.650" listed ring height = 1.24055" scope centerline. Go higher, to account for scope covers, if it's close.

In the mail in the morning, brother!

Not necessary, for engraving. It's actually smarter to engrave it first, before you send in paperwork - Imagine filling out your paperwork, sending it in, getting your stamp. You send off your lower for engraving, and they Eff it up (mis-spell something). NOW, you're screwed. Alot of guys send it out for engraving, get it back, THEN do the paperwork, for that very reason. Having a stamp is not a necessity in order to get it engraved.

I've got you covered on the pins, brother. Shoot me your address. <thumbsup>

The most common way to do that is cut the heatshield (one cut oer side of the shield) and bend just that section a little. Rifle looks good, man.

Awesome, man! All they have to do is engrave it the same way they put their own markings on it - that'll work out very well.

Just build an AR pistol. Don't own a buttstock for it, until the stamp comes back. Have one of these two companies do the engraving for you: Orion Arms http://www.orion-arms.com/ Ident Marking Services http://identmarking.com/ Pick out/gather parts for your future SBR, get stuff inbound, but do not buy a carbine receiver extension or buttstock. We'll guide you along as it comes together. Build it as a pistol first, and let the paperwork run it's course. <thumbsup>

Run it, man - that carrier is fine. <thumbsup>

Sportbike, MaDuce. Not a car. This guy's "cameraman" - at two points in the vid - is going 270km/h and 290km/h, and the rider goes by him, in a wheelie, like he's sitting on the side of the road. That's every bit of 200+mph, right there.

Keep 11.5" in mind, too. Works really well with the 10" rails out there. Bottom one, in this pic:

When you buy an SBR, you use the manufacturers markings to fill out the ATF Form 4 (Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of a Firearm) - afterall, the actual manufacturer is the "Manufacturer," in this case. You can't touch it until you get the tax stamp back - it sits in your dealer's safe. When you build your own SBR, YOU are the "Manufacturer," and you have to fill out the ATF Form 1 (Application to Make and Register a Firearm). You need to send the lower receiver (the "registered" part of the firearm) off for engraving with YOUR information on it, as you are the manufacturer, and that info needs to be listed on the Form 1. While you're waiting for the tax stamp to come back, you can legally have this firearm in a pistol configuration, and shoot it. When the tax stamp comes back approved, in your hands, you can then convert that pistol into a Short Barreled Rifle.

I was gonna say that - NFA items across state lines requires prior approval. Which could take awhile. If you can get it, at all.
