Call Roger about it? I'm a BAD Dealer, you know. Just sayin'. Might be able to do something with you in the future, on this. <dontknow>

Yep, that's it, right there! That's my next rifle. <thumbsup> (Notice, I did not say that's my next AR build... <lmao>) Gotta balance things out here... <dontknow>

SWEET!!! <lmao>

I'll need the LA version as well - want to build up the 300 Win Mag with it. Don't have it now, won't have it for awhile, but this is the one I want: Can't find much on it out there, because it's not in Remington's catalog, or website: http://www.impactguns.com/remington-700-milspec-300-win-mag-ss-26in-5-r-threaded-barrel-85508-047700855080.aspx

Wow! Can't keep secrets forever - he is finished.

Any place in Arizona that's outside of a small town. Give you the small town support that you need, and not alot of people. <thumbsup>

This is not a game that you play "dress up" to...

I don't know, here - what's in YOUR hand right now?... <lmao>

Alright, MISTER Smartass Instigator, sir! I just wanna shoot this thing before I buy one. Just to shoot it. SHITS!

Hey, Jon!!! Check THIS out!!! <lmao>

But it's not "manufacturing" in the eyes of the BATFE. Engraving is just engraving, and as long as it's to the legal limit, you can call it "gunsmithing" or "area beautification" or "lawn maintenance...."

Thread that thing in there further, like stated earlier. You stopped short... :eek:

I intended it that way... <lmao>

However, comma, pause for effect... if you, as a manufacturer, engrave a guy's stripped lower before sale, and he's just purchasing a stripped lower from you, then you haven't manufactured anything. You just engraved a stripped lower before you sold it to the guy. On your part, as a dealer/manufacturer, that engraved, stripped lower still transfers to the buyer as "Other" on the 4473. Ident Marking Services and Orion Engraving don't manufacture SBRs by engraving them - they just engrave lowers to the LEGAL BATFE requirement.

You already have the can, brother, I'm just sayin'. Bolt guns are still legal for you. Again, just sayin'. For the 300 AAC BLK, that rifle (out of the box) is about as good as it gets. Heavy threaded SHORT barrel, proven action, tons of aftermarket support for the platform. That rifle, plus a 51t Brakeout .30 cal, and you're in business. Only downside I see to this one, is the price of a detachable bottom metal conversion. Pacific Tool & Gauge (PTG) is the only one I see out there for 5.56 bolt guns on Rem actions, and that's what you'll need. Runs AICS mags. Now, ON that thought, I ventured off the rez and searched out the Mossberg MVP 300BLK... Already had DBM setup from the factory, medium-heavy barrel, threaded of course, and SHORT (16"). Mossberg LBA trigger, which is quite good. Runs any AR mag you wanna toss in there. Add 51t Brakeout to that, run your current 5.56 mags, still as quiet as that Rem 700 above. <thumbsup> Enter the Mossberg 27718:

Your standpoint, and a buyer's standpoint, are two completely different things, brother. Completely. You're saying something has to be transfered as a rifle or pistol based on what gets stuck in it's butt. Not the case. Maybe for you, depending on what you stick in it's butt - but the buyer doesn't need anything stuck in the butt. They just need a lower, so they can move on. That transfers as "Other," and it definitely isn't a pistol or rifle on a 4473. It's just a lower, and it's "neither" at that point. Don't confuse people with the steps that you need to make, as a retailer - when most of the people here just need a stripped lower. If you screw a pistol buffer into a lower in the shop, and someone comes in and says "I just want that sweet billet lower!" ...does that mean that since you inserted a pistol receiver extension into that lower, that you need to transfer it as a pistol? Nope. It's never been barreled. It's never been "built," until it's been barreled. That stripped lower must transfer as "Other" on the 4473. Let's say you build a complete rifle, with a MagPul PRS on it, rifle receiver extension, 18" barrel. You have that built rifle on the wall in your shop, on a Mega ambi billet lower. Mega transferred that to you as a stripped lower, and records prove it. Dude walks in off the street and says, "I need a Mega ambi billet stripped lower!" You tell him, "Man, I'm FRESH OUT! Sold the last one ten minutes ago. Only one I have is on that rifle on the wall. Gonna be 10 weeks before I get another shipment." Dude says, "I don't need a whole rifle, just THAT lower, man! I'll pay you $200 over the MSRP of THAT LOWER, just so I can complete my build!" What do you do, FFL? Shipped to you as a stripped lower, on transfer documents. You assembled it and it hung on your wall, as a display - but it's never transferred again. Do you rip it down to the stripped lower and transfer it as "Other?" Do you make the guy buy it with the rifle receiver extension in it, and transfer it as "Rifle?..." I already know the answer to this one, Shib. It IS a trick question.

Roger, I think I need to give you a call tomorrow sometime - I'm off on Thursdays, and only have one thing to do about mid-day. I have a plan on something... <thumbsup>

That statement DIRECTLY reminded me of this: "Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting implies the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing." <lmao>

^^^ That's right, when they're going for their midnight snack... <thumbsup>

Lived there from '04~'07, then again from '10~'13. You wouldn't recognize Buena now - filled with punkass punks.

Damn, that is one nice scope!

The safety has it's detent holes drilled wrong. Get a different safety lever. Did you have to drill the safety detent hole in the lower?

Whatever you do, just remember - some rifles are well supported, over others. Some rifles have alot more out there that you can do to them. Some rifles come with everything you need already on them. Ron is going to be in here sometime soon, and I predict he's gonna tell you, "MRAD OR SIT ON THE PORCH! YOU GONNA TALK ABOUT IT, OR BE ABOUT IT?!" <lmao>

That's one giant bag of :wtf: Army dude - his HIGHEST award is the Army Achievement Medal?!... Air Force dude - don't know what's going on with that Soul Patch. There's rules on retirees in official ceremonies on official holidays, and grooming standards that go with that. Maybe that shits allowed, but it looks fucked up.
