      Indy 1500 class III booth, PPSH guy...

      What do you want to know about converting a PPSh to 9mm, its really simple. Swap the barrel. Frank

      Are surplus MP5 trigger groups legal to own?

      Legally speaking the trigger housings and groups are perfectly legal and no problem to own. The receivers of the firearms made as semi autos were modified so as to prevent the full auto trigger groups from fitting. For that reason there is no way you can fit a full auto group on a semi auto...

      Titanium vs stainless steel suppressor - thermal expansion question

      Your biggest worry has nothing to do with the expansion rates. The biggest issue with titanium is galling. It is unlikely you're going to have problems with the can expanding more than the mount to the point it gets loose though it is a valid concern. You'll have to get it pretty hot to make it...

      2 Stamp firearm?

      Transfers aren't being assigned by last name or business name anymore. I'm not sure when they changed it but I think it was when they hired a bunch of work at home folks back around 2017 or so. I don't know how much difference that makes now. The real answer to the OP's question is it depends...

      8.6 BLK Thread

      I think the 8.6 blackout is a joke and a kevin brittenham marketing ploy. The case is a lot longer than it needs to be for ideal subsonic use and in reality its longer than it needs to be for supersonics too. The suggested twist rate is beyond stupid and the only thing it gets you is damage...

      Upcoming AR Pistol rule changes and impacts

      If you buy a receiver it should be recorded as a receiver. Without a barrel it cannot be designated as a pistol or a rifle. The length of the barrel and presence or lack of a stock define the type of firearm according to the regulations. A firearm with a buttstock that has a barrel of 16" or...

      Suppressor alignment

      You can cut a chamfer on the can but its a really bad idea. Mod the barrel, not the can. Frequently cutting the chamfer on the can means you can't use it on smaller diameter barrels because the chamfer overrides the shoulder on the barrel. The whole point is to butt the back of the suppressor up...

      How to convert current NFA items into a Trust?

      A trust is a legal entity and anything you transfer to a trust will require a tax paid transfer. That means if you want all your stuff in the trust you're going to pay the $200 or $5 tax on every item you transfer to it. Even if the items belong to you personally they will require the tax paid...

      Suppressor alignment

      Since it is an AR there is a good chance the threaded portion is way too long and it doesn't have a thread relief. You may need to add a spacer to insure the can sits tight against the shoulder. Often with AR's the can will hit the last thread and stop with a gap between the can and the...

      Anyone Froze their Suppressor?

      I'm pretty sure the benefits you get wouldn't exceed the costs you'd pay. Cryo treating seems to have a following here and there but if it really helped all that much it would be done by more manufacturers. The costs would be passed on to the customer plus a little for their trouble. None of...

      NFA disapproved

      In reality the paperforms are frequently kicked back as denied and you can't fix anything with them too. They are supposed to send the forms back to allow you to fix any mistakes but the examiners seem to be denying the forms more than sending them back anymore. You may be better off with the...

      Dropped Live Ammo Can Detonate

      Look on youtube for some videos of ammo being shot at, dropped, crushed, tossed in fires and other destructive testing. Amazing what it will handle without going off. For the record, none of the ammo shown in any video I've seen has detonated. It may go off but there is a big difference between...

      Jack Ryan -- SPOILERS!

      I watched part of season one and couldn't figure out why they even called it Jack Ryan. Why use the names and toss the rest. The movies were just as bad. Screw em. Follow the books or come up with your own names.... Frank

      What Is A Sterling Silver Belt Buckel Worth?

      Its worth spot value x .925 minus fees to someone who will buy scrap sterling. As a buckle its worth whatever you can get someone to pay you. Like the others said it needs more info and maybe some pictures. Also knowing who made it can help. Some guys who make buckles have a good name and a...

      Best Chronograph

      I've got a CED Millenium 2 I've been using for about 10 years and it has been very good. I've had very few missed shots and when they are missed its due to me screwing something up, not the chrono like I had with the chrony line. The data is stored in a reasonable way and accessible. The only...
