How many of you are jumping on the opportunity for a free SBR tax stamp, how many are ready but waiting to see if things change right away, and how many are going to wait out as long as you can?

I submitted 2 for the amnesty stamp, I don’t expect them to be approved any time soon. The eform website keeps crashing since so many ppl are doing the same. My numbers could be off but I remember seeing that the atf usually gets around 25k form 1 apps per year. There will be millions of ppl submitting within the next 120 days.

I do have a Remington pump somewhere. Maybe switch to that. When I get back to the states I'll look into this. Neighbors just spotted a wolf in the area. If there is one there are more. And some idiot might take fluffy for a walk one evening and run into the pack and a light would be handy.

BTW nice setup.

Something like this would work for you.

There are many options similar to this. It just clips on to the barrel or magazine tube. Simple, but effective.

Lasers and lamps are strictly forbidden in Germany at civil available weapons and even the possessing of it could be considered as a crime, because you would only be able to buy outside of my country.

Lasers and lamps (flashlights?) are forbidden to be added to firearms? That is just silly.

Why is your helmet light white/blue? White/red is the typical setup for day/night.

Holding out. I'm confident the ATF will lose in court.

Surefire makes integrated forends for some shotguns. The 870 is one.

This the German gun law, only law enforcement units and military is allowed to add those things.

I don't care about typical setups, but best for my preferences. Owning also a red/white combo for other needs.

Has anyone seen the documentary on National Geographic, Trafficked, about Ghost Guns?

There is a big problem going on that makes legal ownership a farce.

Nice Staccato!
I've ordered 2011 XL 9mm from my go-to gun store https://gritrsports.com/ a few weeks ago, should arrive this weekend! Can't wait to test it, heard a whole lot of good stuff about 'em!

[chowser51]

Broke it in today with 200 rds of 115gr federal hst. No issues (ran out of regular fmj last week).
Did 30 rounds of various 147, 158 and 165 ammo with a suppressor. No issues.

Also used a 17rd and 26rd Springfield Prodigy mags. No issues.

How do you like that Holosun? Thinking about getting what looks like that exact one for an AR I am building.

[chowser51]

I'm liking the green dot. Especially in daylight. I should've gotten the circle dot 507 version to try out. lol.

So far a few hundred rounds and no issues with the Holosun. It's holding zero just fine.

We're issued Trijicon RM01 RMRs at work. I sprung for an RM06 so I could dim it for my astigmatism. I know Trijicon makes a green one but the dot is too large for me.

[Fly320s]

The Holosun 507 is good to go. Trainers such as Modern Samurai see a ton of red dots in classes and the Holosun is working really well.

New BS that MN just introduced...

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/tex...ssion_number=0

Takeaways:

- 30 day 1 firearm purchase/transfer limit
- Firearm owner liability insurance required
- Carry liability insurance required
- License to purchase or own firearms required
- Display of pistol penalty
- Banning large cap magazines, .50cal and larger, semi-auto military style firearms, and ghost guns (unless already owned and registered)
- Current owners of the above mentioned agree for authorities to inspect storage, must renew registration every 3 years, and can only use them on private property of the firearm owner or a licensed range
- No other states carry permit is valid in MN

[chetrickerman]

Such bullshit. It's wild how people want their inalienable rights taken away.

I really like it. Good build quality, the reticle is crisp and very bright. Holosun is definitely king of the "budget" sights.
