The current NFA wait time is over 7 months. It been over 6 months now since I sent my NFA forms to the ATF for my Ruger 10/22 Short Barrel Rifle.

I suppose I could make a disposable, one-time use one. For just such an occasion. Flash hider prolly would have been more useful, actually, as I didn’t want the neighbor over the back fence to think I shot the ol’ lady.

Yeah, I know. Didn’t know the tariff was 200 clams, though.

Would like to have had one the other night – had to shoot a raccoon through the sliding screen. Even the .22 subsonics are kinda loud and I didn’t want to give the neighbors an excuse to call the fuzz.

I have a few suppressor. It’s fun but heavy. I went back to unsuppressed firearms tho. The extra weight was slowing me down.

Suppressors are NFA items. You can build or buy a suppressor but you must pay a $200 tax stamp to be legal. IMO the tax stamp is constitutional illegal. There are effort on the way to take suppressor off the NFA list.

I just recently found that out.

You can make a gun for yourself and you are good. But make a silencer for the same and you have to register it.

Supressor, in case any idiots happen upon this post.

People been making plastic receiver and frames for a long long time. Over 40 years now. He doesn’t need to test them. It’s been done and proven to work.

You can’t make a entire firearm out of plastic. It’s against the law. Second a pure plastic isn’t strong enough to contain the super heated gas/pressure. In other world the gun will go KABOOM.

I haven’t been keeping with the firearm prices lately because it skyrocketed to unaffordable area. Before the mess started AR15 forged receiver cost around $50. Their counterpart cost more and no where as strong as their forged counterpart.

You don’t need a license to print or make guns as long as you don’t sale it. The gun your made can be serial free.

But his license doesn’t limit him to sell to the public. I think he could make full-auto models and sell them to LEO.

The point is he can’t make and test them, to prove his design in the more demanding role of full-auto, without the license. Unless I’m mistaken.

The 1986 Gun control laws IMO is illegal and I believe never got the vote to pass it by congress.

Full auto is pretty much overrated. You can run semi-auto faster than full auto and with greater control. I’m not sure what the human limitation is but it is at least over 600rmp.

Well this gets the heat off him while he perfects his designs. Also allows him to get investors and really rocket this idea into reality.

I think it may also let him manufacture full auto without any worries. You can make a gun for your own use, but not a full auto one. They were testing full auto in one of their vids iirc.
