Huh Huh!

I think that wins "mines is bigger"

Ever hear about Saddams "supergun" project? Now that was the mother of all guns!!

 

[mcarnes]

I own a Glock 17

And Im about to buy a supress barrel, and ive heard from a guy that you need a custom silencer for a modified barrel, is that true?

Just buy a Lone Wolf Barrel. Inexpensive and reliable. They can blacken any barrel if you don't like the SS look. Just email JR over there and tell him what you want.

Not sure what you mean by "modified barrel". Most silencers come with a 1/2 x 28 thread. If necessary, you can buy adapters here (last link on the left).

It's funny, I'm staunchly anti-gun, yet I love precision engineering, so I'm viewing this thread with a mixture of fear and glee!

(The other funny thing is, I'd absolutely love to get into archery! Those bows are just beautiful).

Don't want to jack the thread too much. The hardest part of the paperwork is getting the chief of police in your county to sign the Form 4. Some don't have a problem with it, but most will avoid you. I ended up buying it through my LLC.

I would never buy an NFA weapon/silencer/destructive device unless it was through an LLC. I'm not well-versed in the specifics, but doing it that way seems the safest and easiest according to the experienced collectors on the forums. My local police are pretty anti-gun, even though they seem somewhat over-armed for a quiet suburban town (at one point all of our police cruisers had an AR in a rack in the center console)...

A silencer would be a fun toy to have, but not worth the trouble IMO unless you are already collecting NFA stuff. If I was going through all that trouble it would be to get my hands on a Thompson or BAR first.

Agreed. I'd say the LLC is easier if you already have one. Otherwise opening a Trust might be a better option. With the LLC you have to pay an attorney to keep it active every year with the shareholder meetings and what not. With a trust you set it up once and then have it for life. Like an LLC, the trust owns your NFA items, not you. Here is a pretty good link if you're interested.

I agree about the machine guns but silencers are so much cheaper because you can buy them new. As I'm sure you know, any civilian transferable machine gun has to be "pre-ban", i.e. manufactured before 1986 when Reagan signed the ban. I'd love to have a full auto MP5, but it's hard to spend $20K for a 22+ year old gun, especially when cops and FFL holders can buy a brand new one for under $1K.

IMO the LLC route is only easier in the beginning. If you live in a place where getting a CLEO signoff is easy, like I do, I'd recommend just doing it under your name. Sure you have to get fingerprinted, and get a CLEO signoff, but after that you don't have to do anything. Now, if you live somewhere where getting a signoff is difficult, that's another story.

I just purchased a new Mosin Nagant 91/30. I can't wait to pick it up in 10 days mad: dang California gun laws)!

I've also heard that the CLEO signature is like gold when a rookie LEO is looking over your paperwork, compared to a LLC or Trust where half of your paperwork is left blank. My CLEO wouldn't sign (actually he wouldn't even return my calls), which is why my transfer took so long. But if he wants out of the loop, fine, he's out. I have an LLC anyway (a medical practice of all things).

How do you like the KAC suppressor? KAC makes awesome stuff, don't they? I've been drooling over that new SR15.

 

[Big-TDI-Guy]

Hmm.

The QDSS-NT4 is awesome. It isn't very long, its built like a tank, and its tone is very pleasing to the ears.

Here's one of mine.

I sold one like that to get the Sherman. Neighbors complained when I did my Sunday morning test fires to keep the barrel tuned. Oh, and once in a while the shell would land where I didn't want it. Last week it was a pretzel stand, the week before it was a McCain yard sign.

Been looking at one of these:

 

[pscoble]

That's going to be the most fun $19.00 you've ever spent.

Seriously, you can't beat dollar-fun ratio with a Mosin - not even with the 2x4 you need just to operate it.

Hehe. Yeah I know I've been wanting one for a while and a store had them on for a really good sale so I checked one out. The one I got is really beautiful I can't wait to take it out.

Oh yeah and I'll probably post some pictures of my other rifles once I get the Mosin. I'd like to see this thread keep going!

 

[sushi]

^^ Here is a film of it in action.

AFAIK, only three were made. Only 280mm bore.

Somewhere in my old photos I have a picture of me beside one.

Another video of it.

 

[Sesshi]

You guys are sooo lucky! I live in California and we can't buy ar-15's here. I want one sooooo bad, but I'd have to move to AZ or anywhere pretty much outside of Cali. Damn these stupid gun laws!

You try the UK. These days I have to go to Germany just to get to my gun cabinet.

I agree about the machine guns but silencers are so much cheaper because you can buy them new.

Thanks for the link.

Yes, silencers are much cheaper than most NFA full-autos. But if you have an FFL that allows the purchases of NFA weapons (which is most classes of FFL other than the C&R), can you buy new, as opposed to pre-ban? And if so, those weapons are not transferable, so I suppose you can only sell them to other FFL holders? I guess that's how I figured it, it's been a while since I read the laws.

If that's the case, an FFL holder could get their hands on newer pieces like the P-90 or newer H&K PDWs.

Personally, I'm mostly a collector interested in older wespons, particularly long arms, so a C&R license would be what I'm after. It's cheap, not so much red tape, and so forth. But it would be nice to be able to add some of the early full-autos to my collection. Still, even if I had the red tape taken care of, BARs and Thompsons are topping $20,000 these days, so money would be just a bit of an issue.

If I was going to get into silencers, I'd probably be looking for WWII to Vietnam vintage stuff. Except for a Mk. 23 with its issue KAC supressor, that would be something to have.

You try the UK. These days I have to go to Germany just to get to my gun cabinet.

That's quite a drive just to go shooting.

 

[krye]

I haven't shot in a while. Looking at this thread has gotten me all "fired" up again. I was bored at work today, so I doodled up a Kimber using Google Sketchup.

 

[Gamey]

Rifle used here is my trusty Blaser R93 in 7x57mm cal. Normally loaded with RWS 123Gn ammo for deer and vermin

 

[iJohnHenry]

Left-handed action??

Well, at least that is different.

 

[krye]

Here's an update.... I added some real pics of my firearms...

Smith & Wesson Model 41 .22 Cal

Kimber Stainless Gold Match 45ACP

Kahr K9 9mm

oh...and I did a little more work on my Sketchup file...

7x57mm Mauser...a classic choice. I have a few 7.92x57mm Mauser rifles, and am looking to get a 7x57mm variant, probably an early 20th century Spanish weapon. Blaser makes some very fine rifles.

Hello to everyone, im looking to make my Glock g19, a full auto, I know there is some modding in the triger.
Somebody know were I could buy this piece that converts my G19 into full auto.

thx
this post Is so awsome.

 

[zgh1999]

Enough with the water pistols.

Let's see some real cannons.

Anyone has the F2000 and something from Accuracy International?

I had to get in on this, but please forgive me, the only camera available to me at the moment is the iPhone.

I have a small collection. A .9mm Ruger P95DC, a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum, and a Smith & Wesson .357 Colt Python.
