Why is polymer 80 selling switches?

My guess is it's either like some stores that sell full auto AR trigger packs where they're expecting you to be using it legally as either a manufacturer or as someone fixing an already stamped receiver. I've heard most of those places generally hold your package until you can confirm one or the other so they not selling that stuff to Dayshawn in Chiraq.

But knowing that they got raided by ATF two years ago makes me think this is either them being really stupid or it's a Honeypot as part of whatever deal they had to make.

Considering that the company has been defunct for nearly a year, you're looking at a scam website. Once they have your money, they'll come up with excuses to make you pay more (permits, tariffs, etc.), and never deliver.

This one Ruger scam site offered a discount for purchases made in crypto, as there's no chance you'll ever claw that money back, compared to the snowball's chance in hell you might have with credit card companies.

I used to be in a firearms group chat and the amount of people that would join in to post about being scammed by these websites was highet than you would think. what would be crazy is when someone would join in and ask if it was real and everyone would tell them no and to get super indignant about it because it was such a good price and it go and buy anyway

Hey guys, if it takes crypto or any of the shit like zelle it's a fucking scam and also if it takes PayPal to buy a gun or ammo it's a fucking scam

UK is strange, even though on average it's a shithole for gun rights, some more traditional long guns like break / bolt actions are relatively easy to purchase.

The market there on traditional used guns is very soft aswell. guns that would go for 1,000 here are 300-500 there. I've considered eating the import costs on some guns. only adds about 500USD, even less if its pre-1898.

Are you a boomer by any chance?

Also, those articles are very clearly chatgpt bullshit.

I really doubt this is a fed op, this seems more likely to be some jeet or SEAmonkey looking to make easy money from dumb American retards.

Give me rainbows, but I think suppressors silencers cans are more likely to be unrestricted in the coming months than the SBR/S classification.

I think that suppressors may well go the way of marijuana. If the DOJ ceases enforcement, by the next dem administration the courts will surely strike them from the NFA. maybe strike down the NFA entirely.

that's what it's trending towards anyway. gun laws have been loosening for nigh on 40 years at this point. When my parents came of age it was almost illegal to carry any sort of gun outside of hunting season, and especially not pistols. Now i can carry open or concealed without any sort of permission slip from the government. hell my state doesn't even have gun laws anymore.
 
Well, it took some doing, but I was able to get the Charlie Piston Mount and a 16x1RH piston to mount my Hybrid 46M to my Mark 23. Just call me Solid Snake. Can't wait to try it out.

I was primarily thinking of lever actions.

Lever actions, straight pulls, I'd imagine a lot more high-end bolt actions than you'd typically see in the US.

Our licensing system does seem to make it that because you can't have as many guns you end up being more picky about what you do buy. There's still room for absolute shitters, particularly in the shotgun world, but no one is just impulse buying another cheap and nasty .22lr.

I disagree. The very first gun I learned to shoot at a young age was a lever action .22.

I still appreciate the old wood and steel aesthetic and would love to have a .44 Magum lever action carbine.

My attachment to lever guns is my dad.
Every deer season watching him bring one home with his 336 Marlin.
Now I have my own 336 Marlin & will probably inherit his.

Let me qualify my comment in that they're certainly nice little curios to have in your collection and I imagine there are tons of individual stories that make individual guns super cool. But lever actions, in my mind, occupy the same space as the wonky pump 22lr that I have or the saturday night special Italian hunk of shit SAO revolver in my closet, which I inherited both from my dad.

I posted above an affinity for straight pulls but I would also lump them into that same category.

If you're just having fun at the range @ 100 yards and want a lever action? Absolutely. Go buy that rifle. You'll have a great time.

Yeah, you guys get easier access to Mannlichers, Mausers and there's a new straight pull from Browning that looks super neat that we'll never ever get in the US.

Don't let Western Movies and Fuds fool you. Lever actions aren't all that cool.

Sounds like something an injun would say. I really want a Henry someday. I hope their move to WI doesn't impact their quality. Moving like that can always cause a hiccup.
 
Pistol calibre lever actions got big over here after the pistol ban as a way to still shoot the same courses of fire on the same local indoor ranges. I have a Rossi in 38/357, fun little gun and surprisingly accurate once I dropped a scope on it.

Having shot a couple overseas (Ruger PCC, Scorpion Evo) I'd love to have a 9mm semi-auto carbine but unfortunately the government disagrees.
