I know im dumb but what form is it that states you had an approval recently that speed ups your current ATF form 4s?

First time Form 1

I just turned 19 in Virginia. I currently own a 16” AR-15 (rifle) that I bought assembled, and I want to purchase a .300blackout 10.5” upper and submit a Form 1 combining my currently owned lower and the soon to be purchased 10.5” upper, and make an SBR. From the research I did, if I do this I can swap my 5.56 and .300BO upper on the singular lower anytime I want, as long as the .300 is registered as an SBR correct?

As for the Form 1 requirements, does anyone have a link to a complete write up for this? This is my first NFA item, and the things I know I need are as follows: a passport photo, fingerprints, and I will need to engrave the lower. If y’all have tips, I.e. how to do the fingerprints and passport photo online I would appreciate it. And as for the engraving, can I just use a dremel? Does it have to be professional or is a dremel in dremel handwriting sufficient, and will I be able to rattlecan over this in the future or does it need to be uncovered.

Another question, trust or no trust? And what is the average time difference between the two, I’m slightly hopeful I’ll be able to get this back before deer season is over but that’s not a must, more of a want.

If you guys have any other tips or anything, please let me know. This is my first NFA experience and I’m seeing a lot of semi conflicting information and just need a little help. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, debating buying my first suppressor this month. Just want some opinions on if it’s worth it to wait and see if there are any worthwhile sales or if the demand is high enough that there won’t be any meaningful deals.

Any recs on a .30 cal suppressors/muzzle device are welcome as well.

I bought an Enticer S for 300blk, but I’d like to try it on my 10.3” 5.56. Diligent Defense lists the minimum barrel length for 5.56 as 10.5”. What should I do?

I’m looking to tune my new setup which is a Polo K on a 11.5” 5.56 with a carbine length gas system. I have tried a stock buffer spring with an H3 buffer and it throws brass forward. Before I start buying various buffer weights and sprinco’s, what should I try first?

I started one of these for "nightvision" when I got my NODs and had good results. It just occurred to me to do one for NFA stuff.

Here it is! The collaborator link for the NFA soundtrack!

I'll repost the results in 7 days.

My 227 w/can for click-bait!

Here are the boxes I'm trying to check.

​

1. As close to zero gas to the face with a suppressor (no hot gas or stones to the face!!)
2. Backpack carry, can train at the range for hours (Must be less than 20 inches OAL folded) This can be with the suppressor on not in which case I'd use Tri Lug (Would use the mod9x for shorter configurations and the CAT MOB for trilug/training)
3. Suppressors I'd use CAT MOB for Tri Lug and possible DT/QD for training. I'd use the Sig Mod9x if I was trying to fit the host and the suppressor together in the bookbag
4. 9mm subs works with defensive hollow tips and federal syntech 150 grain suba
5. Accepts and functions well with a low back pressure suppressor, (Tri lug or direct thread)
6. Can enjoy for extended periods of time on the range
7. Ambi controls
8. Excellent QC (I want it work out of the box)
9. Excellent support (not douchebags to their customers)
10. Must be able to use brass for reloading
11. Must support Flashlights/Eotech/accessories

​

Here's some possible hosts I've thought of

• Sig Sauer Mpx-k (Sig qc is bad)
• B&T Apc9k (shot the ghm45 suppressed and got too much particles hitting me in the face with every shot, I’m told this is due to the direct blowback not because it was suppressed with a traditional suppressor)
• HK Sp5K (heard roller delay requires frequent cleaning, different manual of arms, meh trigger)
• B&T APC9kSD2 (direct blowback=crap in the face? It's okay that I have to buy a suppressor for this one)
• B&T TP9 (direct blowback=crap in the face?)
• Ronin arms MpxkSD (what’s the folded OAL on this? Heard SD Is dirty)
• Ronin arms sp5kSD (what's the folded OAL on this?Heard SD Is dirty)
• KP9/AKV? (straight blowback=gas? also no support from company)
• Foldable S&W 9mm (heard their cs was meh)
• CMMG banshee (meh it’s cmmg It can be unreliable)
• Kriss Vector gen3 (heard they have a lot of gas)

If money wasn’t an issue, which can would you choose? I’m looking for a 5.56 dedicated can and don’t mind spending money but I also wouldn’t want to throw it away. Thanks in advance

Just got my first rifle suppressor , went with a B&T SRBS 7.62 so I can use it on .300BLK and .308

It’s the 3-D printed Inconel 718 can which I really like as Inconel is amazing for suppressors , and the flow through is nice on an LWRC as they are a bit on the heavy gassed side. About as pleasant as a 5.56 can get to shoot I think and it makes shooting an AR15 indoors SO much more enjoyable. Now this rifle is officially a freaking pig though

Recently got my velos and have been loving it, but this weekend something odd happened. I had the velos on my sbr, and when i went to take it off to sawp to my full size rifle, the muzzle device came off the rifle, rather than the velos off the mount. I could've sworn I had rocksett it on, but I said eh I must've forgetten to, moved on with the day. Took a fair bit of heat to get the velos off the mount but oh well. (Yes it was definitely unlocked). Cut to this afternoon I go to take the velos off my full size to remount on my sbr now that I've rocksett the muzzle device, and once again, the muzzle device comes off not the can (once again yes it was unlocked). I know for a fact this one was rocksett on, and I can see the rocksett on the threads. This time I had to use a vise to get the can off the muzzle device. I've never had rocksett give out like that, and never had a can get stuck. Any advice out there?

EDIT: I do believe 100% this was user error on my part, going to thoroughly degrease and make sure I torque the muzzle devices on fully, also sounds like I was way over torqueing the can onto the mount. Far from the worst failure I could've had lol.

Not a usual question but is there a way to contact the ATF to cancel a Form 5320.20? Was looking to move an AOW to another state but deciding against it. Or, if the form is approved, just a way to tell them the move is not being conducted?

Title says it. Waiting for this to be released from jail, what’s the best way to get it on my AK

Snagged this Maxim 9 from an FFL friend that had 2 and checked a gun off the bucket list.

Anyone with any comments on the B&T SQD or newer modular 9mm can? Haven’t found a ton of info out there on the newer can but interested if anyone has any experience with their sound performance and has mitigation. Tempted to pick one up and put on a MAC11/9 or should I stick with the tried and true Lithium that I already have?

So I'm a Resident of Ohio but Will Be Moving To Utah in a few Months and will be a Resident there full time, I Had recently purchased a few SBRs on form 4s with my Ohio info and address and id but my new address and and licensed id will be Utah by the time i can pickup my SBRs. How ever i will still have my Townhouse in Ohio as a second home. My Question is What Can or what should i Do about this ?
