"Hidden" Weapons!

By those wordings and your interpretation, you CAN buy a can that is made in AZ, in addition to making it yourself?

 

Montana did something similar (MFFA) and they backed off when BATFE started pushing on them. Example:

http://firearmsfreedomact.com/2009/09/29/929-batfe-letter-re-the-mffa/

 

The courts will see it as an attempt to circumvent the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. The current jurisprudence has broadly interpreted the Commerce Clause to the point of absurdity. The Robert's court hasn't been too keen on a retrenchment of that sweeping interpretation.

 

...and per the 9th Circuit Courts:

http://firearmsfreedomact.com/2013/08/23/ninth-circuit-rules-in-firearms-freedom-act-case-82313/

 

I anticipate that the AZ law will be interpreted that way but nobody in AZ has tested it at all... the lack of which is probably due to the futility of the cause as demonstrated by what's areadly gone down in montana....

 

It's a legal minefield..... still good to know either way.

Show me something where it's been challenged in Arizona.  Not something from Montana.  9th Circuit didn't challenge Arizona's law.

 

Arizona's law has been in effect since 1 October 2010.  It hasn't been overturned by anything else, since then.

By your own wordings, and own interpretation, you came to where you are on it. 

 

I'm just reading black and white, brother.

 

It's legal.  In black and white.  And it's on our state legislature page. And it hasn't been overturned.

 

They enacted it.  Done.

 

That $hit is real.

.22LR can is first, with aluminum barstock produced in AZ.  Next is the 5.56 can, with steel bar stock produced in AZ.  After that, I'll get creative.  :banana:

 

I'll stamp "Made in Arizona" on both of them, too, even though they won't be offered up for sale to anyone, ever.  <thumbsup>

I've got a reflex design to work with the Spike's Dynacomp. I could at least make the parts or it this week when I free up my lathe. :D

 

Next would be one to work with the PWS FSC30.

 

Does this mean we can also build SBR's from 100% AZ parts?

It means exactly what it states.

 

13-3114. Arizona manufactured firearms; regulation; definitions

A. Beginning October 1, 2010, a personal firearm, a firearm accessory or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in this state and that remains within the borders of this state is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce and is not considered to have traveled in interstate commerce.

  Well Arizona's law will not trump Federal law if the BATFE  finds a Suppressor in your possession with out it being built & registered by a class II FFL manufacturer.

  I know it sounds good or reads good , but that law will not hold up in Federal court, but you can volunteer to be the first to try it out for us . <thumbsup>

That's what I was trying to get across. Federal law pre-empts state law... if I didn't have this FFL stuff going on I'd consider it, but as of right now, I don't think it's prudent for me to do it. Might as well be patient and wait for the 07 FFL.

so I guess you havnt seen the "solvent trap adaptors" for sale lately? mount an oil filter or commercial fuel filter on the end of your rifle to trap those nasty solvents while cleaning? not that I would have one of those for any reason...no way no how...

 Can't see your sights with those things.

It depends on the firearm. On an AR-pattern rifle, if the oil filter is 4 inches or less in diameter, you should be able to sight over it with standard iron sights. Would probably not work with some BUIS that's out there.

 

It would be fun to play with one of these on the muzzle of a .308. One interesting thing is that the oil filter is vented at the base, toward the shooter.

 

I would imagine that the BATFE doesn't even approve of unlicensed experiments, though. And in the US, every parcel of mail is photographed, and the photos are stored for later search of who sent something to whom. The latest incident of sending anthrax through the mail was solved by the Post Office using this system.

My thought on those oil filter "cans" what kinda stress are you putting on your gun with back pressures befor that first shot knocks a hole in that filter??? Or am I just over thinking it

 

Not over-thinking. And what about shrapnel from an exploding oil filter casing? If I was doing the deed, I'd drill a hole in the casing first.

There's always the NAPA 4003 fuel filter version of the solvent trap. Its built a lot more robust than an oil filter, and it's tapped for NPT threads on both ends. Simple to drill a hole in a NPT plug on the far end, and the slimmer profile will help with the sighting.

That is very cool. Of course you never tried it out, so there's no point in asking how well it works.  >:D

 

Thanks for adding the part number. Now I, too, can make sure not to use that combination of innocent things. >:D

No, but the components would be a cheap way to build a supressor. (Hey Tom, *nudge* *nudge*). Remove/cut off one end, drop in some K-baffles and close it back up with an end cap, serialize it and tada.

 

BTW the Wix 24744 is a similar filter.  >:D

the same people make the adaptor for the fuel filters, and even sell them as a package deal. as far as practicality....I doubt anyone would risk cleaning their guns with this system in public under normal circumstances. I'd guess it's more of a SHTF gun cleaning option. at that point...who really gives a crap what any gov. agency says.
