There is just no massive political movement to do that. <br /><br />I mean, look at this year. The HPA is just chiseling one little corner off or one little piece; making a suppressor a 4473 item, instead of blister packed at the check out aisle like they should be, and not only is the opposition screaming bloody murder and the usual "blood in the streets" crap, <i>our side</i> is saying, "oh, we might not get it this year; it might take years to do this". <br /><br />With a government as addicted to spending as crack ho is addicted, are they going to give up that tax revenue? When the BATFE is doing everything they can to tighten the screws on home built firearms, are they going to loosen up? <br /><br />Tearing down the NFA just ain't happening, barring something I can't foresee. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-8029043115531303472017-01-29T11:16:58.330-05:002017-01-29T11:16:58.330-05:00I actually watched those last night.

I think I must have gotten some residue from Glock or S&W or <i>somebody</i> fanboys bad mouthing them.

And I clearly remember another shop that had Krag rifles.<br />Yes, that was a long time ago.<br />Machining a 1911. I do have a thrill of anticipation of reading your posts about that.<br />John in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196033252818387245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-25188022487660285502017-01-29T04:36:36.818-05:002017-01-29T04:36:36.818-05:00RE: The Ruger Precision Rifle - it's done more...RE: The Ruger Precision Rifle - it's done more for encouraging long distance accuracy than a lot of other things; a sub-MOA rifle out of the box makes it easy to be good at distance, and the distance guys lurves them some 6.5 Creedmore. Some of us, though, are waiting for the long action version (.338 Lapua, .300 Win Mag), assuming Ruger is smart enough to build one. <br /><br />As for PCCs, if/when NFA is gutted (very long overdue) and both suppressors and SBRs become 4473 items instead of Title II, PCCs will explode. Thompson made his namesake with a 10" barrel, supposedly, because not only was that a very handy length, Mr. Browning's cartridge obtained optimum performance in 10 inch barrels. Picture a collapsible stock AR-15 with an 8 inch barrel and a 6 inch suppressor in 10MM (or 9MM, or 45ACP, for that matter) and a 20-25 round magazine, and you're getting pretty close to the perfect "house carbine" as a higher precision/lower recoil replacement for the ubiquitous 12 gauge pump. All it might need is adding a Law Tactical folding stock adapter to shorten it for storage.
