I'm pretty sure that's the case. However, I would guess that you could send a gun off, as in outside of your immediate possession, to be engraved after having an approved tax stamp but before ever having actually put it into the NFA item configuration. That's just my guess though. I think a lot...
From what I understand, the gun in question isn't an NFA item until it has been put into an NFA configuration. I think, and take this with a grain of salt, that even if you have the tax stamp approved that until you put it into the appropriate configuration to "make" it into an NFA item that it...
That very much depends on the kind of steel used. Not all alloys of steel have rust resistant properties. The receivers used in 870 shotguns were, back when the Freedom Group owned Remington, known to rust even with the blued finish. If the engraving process does away with the finish then I'd...
I'm planning to tax stamp an 870 shotgun. Steel receiver, blued finish. I had two main areas I'm unclear about.
1: How should I go about doing the engraving? I already asked my local gunsmith and he said he couldn't do it. Should I just seek another gunsmith who can, or is this something a...
I've a s&w model 64 snub nose revolver that I love to carry as a backup gun. The hammer tends to snag on my clothes so I want it gone. I was a machinist in the past so I'm pretty confident I could handle bobbing off the hammer and rounding it nicely if I had a dremel, but those cost money. Then...
Yes.
Again, if this were a real issue that actually existed as a design flaw of the AR15 then it would have been addressed a long time ago. Some high-temperature adhesive would easily fix this supposed flaw; just glue the rings together as they're staggered and they'd never accidentally align...
1: The gas rings move, independently of one another, almost every time the gun fires, so the shooter has no control over whether or not they're aligned or staggered. Staggered gas rings can possibly align themselves through fire, and aligned gas rings will most likely stagger themselves through...
I'm thinking that they put the thing back together incorrectly or made some kind of a buildup in the magazine tube. Find a guide on youtube on how to assemble/disassemble it and see if putting it back together properly resolves your issue.
