Like I said in my intro, one of things I collect are .32ACP pocket guns. I decided to pull out a few of my more interesting examples Top left is a Frommer Stop in 7,65. This is one of the strangest pocket guns out there. The recoil spring sits on top, which is pretty uncommon. However, the oddest thing about this pistol is that uses a rotating bolt, similar to what you'd find in an AK. There was even a machine pistol version of it. Two pistols, upside down, each with 25 round magazines, are mounted in a little tripod. I assume the Hungarians had worries that the rabbits would rise up against them Top right is a French "Unique" pistol. This one features an acceptance stamp showing that it was in use with the Moroccan police Bottom right is a German Dreyse M1907. The Dreyse was fairly innovative for its day in that it's striker fired and the firing pin protruded out of the back so you could see/feel if it was cocked Bottom left is the venerable Colt M1903 pocket hammerless. As far as vest guns go, none are more classy. I actually carry mine from time to time. Makes you feel like an old tyme detective searching gin-joints for a dangerous dame with gams that don't quit In the center is a CZ 27. This one features several Waffenampt markings indicating that it was accepted into service with the German military in WWII. The fact that it is blued rather than parkerized would indicate that this was produced just before or early into the German occupation of Prague. This one is magnificent. The bluing is still deep and rich and the trigger even retains its factory straw bluing. Whoever it was issued to clearly didn't do much with it. Honorable mention: Maxine. Like all cats she feels the need to make an appearance when the guns come out Hope you folks enjoy the post.

Last time I had checked eForms wasn't able to do a Corp to Trust transfer. That might have changed. I'll check. If so, score one for procrastination!

Yup. Talk to 4 different ATF agents and you'll get 9 different opinions.

I started my NFA journey back in the early 2000's in the great state of Washington. Before the ATF removed the CLEO signoff requirement, getting a Form 4 signed in western WA (the more liberal side of the state) was next to impossible. Folks hadn't quite figured the trust thing out so, like many others, I created a WA State Non-Profit corporation to hold my NFA assets. My wife and I finally got a gun trust done 3 years back and I want to transfer my assets from the corporation so I can collapse it now that I live in TN (I have a buddy back in WA who currently acts as my 'registered agent' and I'm sure he'd love for that to end now that WA is going full California). Has anyone done a bulk transfer of NFA assets between two entities? I've heard a lot of conflicting reports regarding photos and fingerprint cards. I've heard: Each Form 4 needs 2 fingerprint cards (per trustee) and photographs I can do 2 fingerprint cards (per trustee) and photos for the whole packet I can do 2 fingerprint cards (per trustee) for the whole packet, but each Form 4 needs photographs Given that I've got 5 suppressors, 3 SBRs, and an AOW I am hoping to not have to do 18 fingerprint cards for each trustee. Also, for those that might suggest talking to a lawyer, the 3 bullet points above all came from 3 different attorneys Also, I'm curious if I have to do a Certificate of Compliance for each transfer or can my wife and I each do one for the whole shebang.

The main reason I don't open carry is that I want it to be a surprise in the event that I need to draw it. About the only time I'll open carry is when I'm hiking. Hiking with an IWB holster on is unpleasant. Additionally nobody really looks at you twice when you've got a piece on your hip out in the woods.

If those Colt grips are original and uncracked, that's a heck of a deal.

If you ever find yourself in Hendersonville, let me know. I'd be more than happy to show it off

The one that gets me is the .30 Carbine Mann Accuracy Device, because it's also built on a 03A3 action.. which just seems weird to me

If you'd be willing to ship, I'll take them. I've got a parts kit and a semi-auto receiver that I'm going to build out. Could use more than the 2 mags the kit came with. I also get that I'm a new user, so if you don't want to sell to me I get it. Though, I can assure you that I'm in Hendersonville and not Lagos, Nigeria

So I got into collecting C&R stuff in the late 90s. Not quite the good-good old days, but there was still plenty of cheap surplus on the market. Enfields were 100 bucks. I once scored a Hungarian M44 for 30 bucks as an 'add-on' when making a SOG order. There were also still a lot of oddball firearms floating around at that time and this is one of them. The Mann Accuracy device was designed to help test ammo accuracy. The device was fitted into a tube or a v rest (also known as a Mann rest). Ammo to be tested off the line was then loaded and fired. Provided the correct number of rounds hit the fixed target down range, the batch was considered good to go. Over the years these were produced in '06, 7.62x51, .30 Carbine, and 5.56mm. They even made them in some non-military cartridges like .22 Hornet. A lot of them 'went home' with their owners and they largely vanished from the market for a spell. The CMP came up with a bunch at one point in .30-06 (which this one is) and I was quick enough to grab one. If you search around for these, you'll find some folks have leveraged that super heavy barrel to turn them into target rifles. I'm curious if anyone else has one, especially if it's in a different caliber.

I'm also new here and also a Ross MkII owner as well. I ended up getting a beautiful example that also came with the bayonet and it's frog. There's US ordnance markings on mine indicating that it was one of the rifles that was sent down from Canada to the US Army for training purposes. I never quite understood the logic. Imagine being a US soldier in WWI. You've spent weeks being trained on the straight pull action of the Ross only to land in France and be handed a Springfield 1903 rifle

Howdy folks, I actually joined this site over a year ago and then completely forgot that I did. I moved here 2+ years ago from Washington state. After spending 20+ years fighting the good fight for the 2a in WA, my wife and I threw in the towel and headed east. We still had plenty of fight left in us, but it became pretty apparent that we were in the minority. I'm a C&R collector with a penchant for .32ACP pocket pistols, British/Commonwealth firearms, and inert ordnance. I also enjoy long range rifle shooting and 3-gun. I'm a member of the Tennessee Military Collectors Association and the Ohio Valley Military Society. Outside of that I like offroading, fishing, BBQing, and weird microelectronics projects. I joke that I'm a high-tech redneck. Just happy to be here
