No NFA repeal in the BBB:

Ever since the wait times dropped to a few days all the good shit is out of stock. Been that way already for like 2 years.
Now if only they weren't NFA items and any machine shop could just start cranking these things out...
I for one am not dropping hundreds of dollars on an item a company started manufacturing last week.
We're talking about a cylinder with threads and baffles, people have diy'd these things at home. Also the bigger picture is that any company could subcontract out parts and they'd have controls in place for QA. For example it wouldn't be 18 different competing shops popping up (at least not completely) but it'd be a shop with tooling getting an order from some silencer company to make them 1000 bodies on their CNC machines and another company would get orders for baffle stacks or whatever etc. You can scale up parts of the whole, it's not suddenly a garage workshop popping up out of nowhere with $600 total in hand tools making these things. It'll be a machine shop that preferably fabricates parts within tight tolerances getting another set of products to run. I think a tried and true machine/tool shop that didn't have to get yet another certificate and more government bullshit to deal with would be more than happy to stick their toe into said market, even if it is just throwing one different part into their wire EDM machines.
 
Printer bois gonna fuck atfs shit up if this happens........ the short MP22 uses about 20g of filament, so at $10/kg that's 50 per roll at ¢20 per piece
Also soda bottles with rags lmao, I hear those hold up for a while with .22 and only cost you ¢5-15 depending on what your state taxes you for redemption fee
 
Regarding weapon acquisition, is there anything that makes you all stop concerning yourself with getting [next thing]?
I view any gun that isn't an oddity, a classic, or different in that it fills a niche very well, as just a tool, I simply don't care about new stuff.

Helps that I find most modern guns fugly and since guns aren't computers or cars, their performance isn't light years away from where they were in 1990 and the modern configs are usually only marginally better than the stuff I already have. The only modern weapon configuration that I had any significant interest in was the micro-9s, and they aren't that modern, just popular now. The first P365/Hellcat sized double stack 9 was produced by the intrepid minds of Lel-Kek almost 30 years ago and I there's the G26 which is a micro 9, just fat. What am I going to do? Replace an already very good AR10 with a SCAR? They're a lighter but look like total shit and cost an arm and a leg. Replace an old Sig or classic range toy with a 2011? 90% of them look like mallninja edgelord gunkata movie crap. Replace an old Howa based precision rifle build with something new and twice the price? For what? In the end, you can't replace what's great about the classics with the next thing, and the next thing isn't a massive upgrade over the "tool" grade firearms I already have, so I simply don't gunsoom.

Guns are completely soulless tools to me. I have a truck full of tools that serve a purpose for my work and I treat guns the same way, they are means to an end to put bullets where I want them to go.

If I had fuck you money, I would have a YouTube channel where I buy collectible, rare transferable machine guns and destroy them on camera just to make faggot collectors cry

Me too.

.22 is stupidly easy to make quiet. The bottle and rags and cheap ass plastic printed suppressors will probably become super common. $0 NFA or not. I mean hell we all know the most recent negative mention of suppressors was because of Luigi and IIRC his was some printed bullshit. Was it the FTN? Those were a bit more "Gucci" and required more effort but they were smaller than most 9mm printed cans that are like 4" in diameter and a foot long.
 
anyone know how i can get my bobcat's slide to stop popping up when i tip up the barrel with a loaded magazine?

Considering a decent amount of those collectors are Boomers with a "Fuck you, got mine" mindset, they'll probably be elated that their "investments" have gone up in value.

Listen if you're happy Vietnam era technology I'm sure it'll be fine - I don't trust a subcontractor to make a proper flow through supressor.
 
If you want a suppressor just buy one. The wait time is practically zero and there are plenty of cheap options by reputable companies.

They are not going to get cheaper any time soon.

the slide is retained by two "wings" at the rear of the frame. ensure that the slide isn't out of position when you tip the barrel, as the magazine pressure will push up the top round into the bottom of the slide and this can move the slide forward slightly allowing it to move out of position. inspect the wings - they should be angled on the underside but square at the front and rear.

if i have the hammer cocked back and pull the trigger when the safety is engaged the hammer will fall the moment i disengage the safety. should i hound beretta?

edit to avoid double posting;
i'd ask how ukranian gypsies aren't fucking embarrassed of this blowback bullshit if there were more than like four thousand of them left

Saar Saar please buy törkish shottygun made of my ditch feces Saar
Get a Mossberg
I think the Benelli Supernova is better for quality reasons. The last few new 500’s and 590’s I’ve seen had shit manufacturing finishes. I still love my A300. Thing is a niggerchopper.

An empty 1 liter soda bottle packed full of 000 steel wool works much better than one would expect, even just electrical taped on the end of a .22 rifle.

In Minecraft, of course.
