re: ATF released some new NFA numbers for wait times...

My Form 1 was approved just now. 7 days from submission and this was for a trust :nana:
Just waiting on the form 4 for the suppressor.
ETA: Since I did this on eForms, they just sent me a PDF of the application with a picture of the stamp. Do I just print that off as proof of the stamp...

re: What's the highest level of Math you use regularly?
Posted by Jon A thon on 4/24/24 at 8:32 am
Multiplication and division. Maybe some algebra. I have a mechanical engineering degree and definitely did use math for some time. But I've since advanced to business development. So I'll have to calculate the tip on a bill at a restaurant sometimes. ...

I don't necessarily fall for this too much. I'm not one to go buy something new if I have something that is working.

re: How fast do you blow up your CC each month past $1K
Posted by Jon A thon on 4/23/24 at 5:44 am
Absolutely everything that can go on a card goes on a card for us and it's paid off each month. I've never once paid interest on a card. It's not crazy to have a 10k credit card bill if we have major purchases that month, so 1k will pop up fast. Hell, I've negotiated putting large portions of a...

Ended up purchasing the Eotech through Amazon over the weekend. I got the EXPS2-0 over the 2-2. Figured I'll simplify the sight picture and I'm not planning to be driving tacks at 200 yds woth an 8" barrel 300 blk.
Sight came in and is mounted. Nothing to dislike so far although I haven't sh...

Any paperwork needed to match a lower to an upper?[/quote]
Not unless you are using a barrel shorter than 16", which would then make it an NFA stamp issue.
Think of it as the stripped lower receiver being the only thing considered a "firearm". Everything else is an accessory. I c...

[quote]Did you did you do individual or trust[/quote]
I just certified for a trust and the shop told me trusts are still seeing a long wait and that I should expect 6-10 months. But that this current wave of fast approvals could close up on individuals and then they focus on trusts. Just no way...

Don't have astigmatism and have a Holosun EPS carry on my EDC. Ordered the Eotech thru Amazon to try it out and free returns with prime. We'll see. I've heard the hologram will always be a bit litigated compared to a standard red dot. But the plus is that thru a magnifier, the dot stays 1 moa vs...

So I'm about ready to make a decision an the optic for my 300 blk sbr build. Outside of just a fun range toy, this will be a home defense rifle. Current plan is the Eotech EXPS2-2. Not pinching pennies on this one. What are the boards thoughts compared to say an Aimpoint red dot. I'm interest...

Is that Anderson lower really going to be that much worse to be a old Civic compared to a Ferarri. Or is it more like getting a Ford work truck and putting in aftermarket parts to make it feel more like a Platinum package? The features fit, and work....however you still have vinyl floors, tape de...

What charging handle are you using? Just asking because I'm in the middle of a build and got the Radian to hopefully help with the gas.
And what buffer weight are you running since you say it kicks like a mule. Just trying to learn lessons through you :lol:
