Mega Rad Gun Thread

any recommendations where or what I should do to get my fingerprinting done for NFA items for the cheapest possible price?
The literal cheapest option would be to order some physical fingerprint cards and an ink pad and roll your own. If you want a digital file I'm not positive what the cheapest option is, but national gun trusts will convert fingerprint cards to EFTs for $35. Capitol Armory will also give you EFTs for $35, but only if you're a previous customer. There might be a local place that can scan them for less, but I don't know what typical pricing is for that.

You can download the silencer shop app and see if there's a kiosk near you. I think it's free, I don't remember paying anything extra, just the price of the can+stamp+trust+state sales tax. Basically you just roll your fingers on a glass screen and you're done
 
The guy who half blew his thumb off in front of the camera cre
Pretty sure it was a 10/22
He would later go on to design the Scavenger 6, a gun designed for the apocalypse by allowing you to fire up to 6 different cartridges at once through one cylinder.

Given what is likely going to be a sub-$900 street price, I think I'm going to take one for the team and try out the Taurus RPC to see if it's more german or Brazilian in terms of how it functions. I have my Dissent to compare it to, but I like the idea of Taurus bringing a cheap roller delay gun and making HK knockoffs and buffered blowback stuff from B&T and straight blowback shit from everyone else overpriced nonsense, particularly since I'm not a fan of Taurus.
I am not a businessman but I cannot think of any reason why Taurus decided to go with a proprietary mag, it can't be greed, because proprietary mags depress sales. My only even plausible theory is that they are well aware of TX-22 sales data (they've been flying off the shelves ever since FRT's became available) and know people are going to offer aftermarket FRT/SS comparable lowers for them but using different mags (a prominent 3D2A Guy said they looked relatively easy to FRT) and thus are preemptively trying to cover their ass and say "No no no, they had to modify the lowers! Not our fault!" But even that feels pretty weak.

I THINK there's a way you can also use a cheap digital fingerprint scanner so you can do it at home too,

2024-01F: Revising Machine Gun Definition in Response to Supreme Court Decision - FINAL RULE

ATF is removing two sentences from its three regulatory definitions of "machine gun" that previously incorporated bump stocks into those definitions. This action responds directly to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Garland v. Cargill (2024), which held that semiautomatic rifles equipped with bump stocks do not satisfy the statutory definition of "machine gun" under the National Firearms Act. This rescission aligns ATF's regulatory text with the statute and the Court's binding legal interpretation."

Yooo get the bumpy boiz back out and slap a pistol brace on it.

Fair warning, if you’ve never done this before (like normal people) there’s a very good chance your gonna produce shit prints that’ll get rejected.
There’s companies like IdentoGO all over the country that will do it for fee. Many local police departments and sheriffs offices will do it for free or a small fee if you call and schedule it.
 
Eliminate engraving requirement for people making NFA firearms out of existing serialized guns
Shit, I literally just sent my PS90 off to get engraved. Ah well, it's pretty cheap and I like helping out local businesses, plus I think it takes a few months for them to receive comments before they actually go into effect.
Joint NFA registration for married couples
So, is there literally any point to a gun trust at this point? I was gonna put all my NFA stuff into a trust while tax stamps were free for when/if I get married, but considering the fact that under 21s cant even possess NFA items (and it's a good idea to lock them up anyway once I have kids), and I never intend to let anyone have access to my guns when I'm not around other than my potential wife, are they completely irrelevant now, at least for a guy in my situation?

As someone who's not familiar with what they changed with bump stocks to begin with, does this mean a complete reversal of what they enacted after the Las Vegas shooting?

That's what it sounds like. Since before they classified bump stocks as machineguns iirc. Which lead to Ian and a bunch of others destroying them and/or turning them over to the ATF to be destroyed.

Because if you don’t have a trust you technically can’t even let your brother borrow a rifle you put a can on at the deer lease unless you’re within “direct supervision” which is basically interpretable as within arms length. The trust also allows you to will your arsenal instead of being forced to surrender it upon time of death.
 
Welp it looks like Aero precision is going bankrupt or is about to.

Most things are OOS, they missed employees healthcare premium coverage and they've done layoffs.....
 
I thought 4473s were forbidden from being digitized or centralized in a database
It would be on the FFL to retain the information, not submitted to a centralized database. I don't particularly agree with the move since, as I alluded to above, it will(fuck you, it will) be accessed by malicious actors and, more specifically as a risk to the FFL, is subject to the longevity and durability of their storage hardware.

The rumor mill was pushing the idea they're shifting focus primarily towards their industrial and aerospace portion and giving up on their guns/defense stuff.
 
Took a couple of weeks, but I have my .22 can now:

This thing is hilariously quiet with CCI SV (1050fps on the box) ammo and what little recoil the Mk IV had before is basically gone, even compared to running it with a TK comp like I was before. I did get a little carried away mag dumping into paper and ended up having to remove a shitload of lead from the bore, though.

Next steps are to run it on my 10/22 and B22:

I still have a semi-rare Aero Solus pistol chassis that I've all but given up on getting a matching Solus receiver for. I've been casually browsing random Remington 700-footprint short-action receivers not really knowing what I'm looking at and came aross this guy selling unfinished Remington 700 custom shop stuff salvaged from their bankruptcy. I might could make it fit! Very tempted. It would be unique at least.

This. Despite owning a can himself my dad can't take mine if I die .

Do it because even if you don't know who will want it I'll take it and it WON'T go to the ATF
