  1. Just wanted to chime in on my form 1 wait. I (foolishly) submitted my form 1 for my Scorpion immediately following the rush last year due to the law change in July. It was a paper form, not an e-file. I went over a year wait at the first of the month, and am still here twiddling my thumbs. Curiosity got the best of me, so I called about a week ago and was told it was still pending!! I'm really hoping it wont be too much longer....
  2. A new Senate bill introduced in June by Senators Mike Lee and Mike Crapo would remove federal regulations of firearm silencers, classifying them as firearm accessories. This bill, known as the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing (SHUSH) Act, would take the Hearing Protection Act (HPA), which is currently under consideration, a step further in protecting the rights of hunters and sportsmen across the country. The bill has also been introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman Steve King. What would the SHUSH Act do? The current HPA bill, that has 154 co-sponsors, would be a victory for gun enthusiasts across the nation—eliminating processing delays in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and getting rid of costly tax stamps. However, the HPA bill would still include transfer requirements, that regulate firearm suppressors the same way as firearms. By taking the bill a step further with the SHUSH Act and reclassifying silencers as firearm accessories, the transfer requirements would be removed, making it easier for law-abiding citizens to purchase firearm suppressors over-the-counter. In a press release from Senator Lee’s office regarding the introduction of the SHUSH Act in the Senate, Senator Lee states, “Suppressors can make shooting safer for the millions of hunters and sportsmen that exercise their constitutional right to use firearms every year,” going on to state, “The current process for obtaining a suppressor is far too expensive and burdensome. Our bill would remove these unnecessary federal regulations and make it easier for firearms users to protect themselves.” Hearing protection for gun owners In addition to removing burdensome taxes and processing delays, the SHUSH Act would protect the hearing of gun owners and hunters. Anti-gun advocates, such as Kristin Brown who works for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, have stated that “there is not evidence of a public health issue associated with hearing loss from gunfire.” However the American Speech Language Hearing Association has found quite the opposite to be true, reporting that firearm use can often lead to “high-frequency permanent hearing loss.” This hearing loss associated with firearm use can make hearing certain sounds of speech and pitches difficult for those that suffer from it. The SHUSH bill would be an important step in protecting the hearing of sportsmen and hunters around the country. In the release published by Senator Lee’s office, Senator Crapo states, “By properly classifying suppressors as a firearm accessory our bill would allow sportsmen to have better access to hearing protection and preserve the hearing of sportsmen, gun owners and those who live near shooting ranges.” Learn more about the use of firearm suppressors If you want to learn more about how you can protect your hearing while participating in shooting sports and the laws surrounding the use of gun silencers in the state of Tennessee, contact our Nashville shooting range today to learn more!

  3. I caught the audio version of this on the radio this morning. Well presented by NPR. I'm shocked. I think the audio can be played via the blue button at the top left of the article. http://www.npr.org/2017/07/26/539438864/military-tries-to-cut-through-the-noise-of-war It was nice to hear them describe and then demonstrate that "silencer" is a misnomer. In the audio version, they demonstrate an M4 fired unsuppressed and suppressed. Well done.
  4. Gonna put my paperwork in the mail tomorrow. I've looked all over and haven't found any guidance on attaching the passport photo. Is there any certain way you have to attach it? I have glue l, 2 sided tape or I can staple it. Just wanting to cross all my t's and dot my i's correctly
  5. As I understand it I can legally build an AR pistol if I buy a pistol lower and it isn’t NFA? I have been looking for a used PLR-16 or a Diamondback AR Pistol for a trunk gun. However, I see several used AR pistols for sale locally and the prices have come down drastically. So my question is.. If I buy one of these used builds sold as a pistol, and I am stopped, how can I prove it’s a pistol and not a SBR? Are there markings or something? I don’t want to deal with any NFA/BATF drama.
  6. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/07/02/gemtech-sold-smith-wesson/ Massachusetts based firearms manufacturer Smith & Wessonhas purchased Idaho Silencer manufacturer GEMTECH. With details slim at the moment, there are obviously a lot of unanswered questions. However, the new GEMTECH headquarters building in Meridian, Idaho is still on schedule as well as all current product development and manufacturing capabilities.
  7. Now that I have a stamp, I'm looking for someone to engrave my Scorpion EVO. Anyone recommend someone in Memphis to do this work? I also am hunting for a stock. I've almost convinced myself to go with the factory stock from CZ. Does anyone have input on alternate models they have experience with? Feedback also welcome on the stock CZ model. I've found the 922R kit for sale at 199. Seems like a great deal.
  8. cliberty.txt Sorry guys I still haven't learned how to share stuff. This was supposed to be an article about the hearing protection act.
  9. I wasn't happy with the previous foam cuts, so I re-did it. Much better! When you raise up the silencer tray, there is another section underneath for all the accessories.
  10. I am just looking for the best bang for my buck. I have a single shot 300blk for now and not looking at other calibers. Any help is much appreciated.
  11. I am picking up my MPX today and want to get my Form 1 in queue as soon as possible. Any tips on where to get fingerprinted and photo'd in Knoxville? I know I can get passport photos at Walgreens or the county clerk's office. I can get fingerprinted at the Sheriff's department, but I gather that I need to bring my own cards. It looks like these can be purchased on Amazon, but is there somewhere to get them locally? This is my first foray into the NFA world, so just wondering if you pro's have tricks to get this done cheaper/more efficiently. thanks.
  12. Im still in NY (Surprise!) and I was able to find a quality Class 3 dealer. Talked to him for a while and got 2 AOWs on order. Once the form 3 comes in for the second one, I can head down there (3 hrs each way in an F350). Ill put my flame suit on but I put in for a Serbu 870 with breecher and another company mossberg 500 version. Yeah, I had to get 2 to offset the travel I know, I know low capacity shotgun with limited range. But, a middle finger (or 2) to NYS is another motive.
  13. Saw this in a Facebook group and thought it was funny enough to share here. Basically the folks at Texas Machine Gun & Ordinance (TXMGO) had a fund raiser and raffled off a bottle of Garrison Brothers Texas whiskey which had been serialized, engraved and registered with the BATFE as a Molotov Cocktail which, by law, is a Class III destructive device and can only be produced by a manufacturer under an FFL Type 10 / SOT 2, produced by an individual under a Form 1, transferred to an individual under a Form 4. So for an individual to obtain this someone had to pay the $200 for a tax stamp and do the BATFE wait. I guess it's what you do when you have money to burn. No pun intended.
  14. Can somebody explain to me how a 3 shot burst works, mechanically within the trigger mechanism? I understand single shot and full auto, but how does a 3 shot work in an M4/M16 or whatever? Cherokee Slim
  15. Question? I am looking at building my own ar, maybe a few of them. I plan to start with 80%lowers and build up from there. 7.62x39, 300blk out, and 458 socom are my wish list calibers. Can I build an SBR starting with an 80% lower without getting the atf involved, if using a trust what changes if anything?
  16. In the 90's Knights Armament company had a small contract run with the government to produce a suppressed M9. The gun featured a clip on suppressor for quick attachment and sights mounted on the can itself. The gun also had a slide lock that prevented the slide from moving, effectively making it a single shot. Its a really neat system. Now, there are rumors that KAC will be re-releasing these this year. They had a barrel and can setup on display at SHOT. In addition, B&T looks to be releasing a VP9 this year. Its a bolt action suppressed 9mm that they claim will be as quiet as 117dB with subsonic ammo.
