mrflynn03 Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Just to clarify how much of a peice of dung he is and why this guy sucks. Today in his Senate hearing for ATF Director (an alphabet agency and position that should not exist) he said he believes any rifle with a caliber over .22 with a detachable magazine should be banned. Well, here is a picture of this guy with an M16 posing over burned up bodies of women and children at WACO. They could have arrested David Koresh on his morning run, or on a trip into town and not murdered 76 people. He looks happy though.

mrflynn03 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Just to explain what the plans are for those that dont know. Basically, the plan is to bypass the legislative process and use the ATF to reclassify currently non NFA rifles to class 3 NFA firearms. What this means is every rifle above and including .22lr that uses a detachable magazine would need to have a form filled out for registration and paying $200 for a tax stamp. They want to also include magazines, and eventually want to serialize individual parts. The current wait time for NFA approval last I knew was 8-12 months. They want to make it prohibitively expensive and flood the approval process with paperwork they cant possibly review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the massive non-compliance such a move would undoubtedly create, there's not enough enforcement staff to enforce it even if you mobilized and deputized the military, assuming they were willing (they aren't). ...and yes, the ensuing paperwork morass (IF people were willing to submit to it) would be untenable. Canada attempted a massive gun grab years ago and quietly ended it several years later with an estimated non-compliance level of approximately 97%. There are a lot more guns in the U.S. than there are in Canada. Chipman is still a ridiculous choice for head of ATF. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least they finally quit lying and are somewhat telling the truth. Chipman is a Gary Busey doppelganger and makes Gary Busey look as sane as Mother Theresa.

Absolutely, drove down to the CMP store in Anniston, Alabama in 09' to get it. Paid $450 and bought a couple cases of surplus ammo. Still reloading that brass. Best part is it turned into a great vacation with my wife. Spent a few great nights in Nashville on the way home. Speaking of investment, yeah it is, and i had the money and should have bought an ingersoll rand or singer M1 carbine when they were available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an International Harvester Garand made in good old Evansville, IN. It's pretty valuable mostly because IH wasn't very good at it. Required a lot of help from Springfield and didn't complete their contract. Chasing an IBM M1 30 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 @FKIM01 The peice I want more than anything is a Browning .30 Cal BAR machine gun. If I ever have the money I will pay the NFA fees and the moolah to get one. I keep going down to the Knob Creek Machine gun shoot hoping one day I can buy one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at the CMP store they had Winchester M1 receivers going for a minimum $450. Now THAT is a collecters item. If I knew then I would have passed on ammo and bought a couple. Anyone who owns and appreciates a garand is solid. Could you imagine carrying that thing all day? And designed by a Canadian.

The thing about M1 Garands is very few of them have original parts. Its been awhile but on one trip to the Sugar Ridge gun range in Pike County, not far from Winslow. I met a guy who was a Garand aficionado. He had maybe a dozen. Korean Veteran. We spent range trips together after that. Pretty cool dude. Anyway, he critiqued mine, and i got a good one. The receicer is early 50's Springfield, the operating rod is H&R, the barrel is Springfield, and the wood is WW2 according to the cartouche marks. So according to this supposed M1 Garand expert, my M1 likely crushed some german skulls. Edited July 9, 2021 by mrflynn03 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison22 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) If anyone is interested: A Civil War Spencer rifle, traced to The Wilder Lightning Brigade. Cool story, with Indiana ties, if anyone looks it up. As far as I know, it's all original, with nothing changed since it came off the battlefield. A US Navy sword (my grandfather's). A 100-year-old Ebony bow (no arrows) from Africa. Been in our family the whole time. Edited July 9, 2021 by Madison22 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure I carried that style for years except it didn't have the black/ white stripes. I can't remember who made that but it was probably my favorite to carry. Sleek, small, long straight cutting edge, loved it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
