F1 suppressors just got more interesting

[Great-Kazoo]

So I guess freeze plugs aren't replaceable in engine blocks anymore? As they're now interpreted to be a regulated suppressor part. There are some real bright individuals over there at the ATF.

I didn't know the ATF could interpret the law as they saw fit.

They didn't. the issue is based on an agents interpretation (more than 1x) of something they don't know about. Search the "engraved" or etched sear debacle. Some agents have now interpreted an image on the receiver where the sear pin would be, as a machine gun.

HPA can't come fast enough.

Does this mean we can pay the IRS with pictures of money? As my son says, "hooray!"

Start a peition online for President Trump to use executive authority to immediately fire all ATF personnel and terminate all pensions, and get Breitbart to run a story on it (send them an email/letter with backstory). They have demonstrated that the agency as a whole is a direct threat to rule of law within the republic.

How is selling these any different than selling an 80% receiver and a parts kit?

Both require the end user to remove material to make the regulated device. Is it different since one must not ask permission to remove material from the 80% receiver, where as you must ask mommy may I to build a gun mufflers?

Silly Illogical gun laws. A muffler is harmless and requires permission to build, while a killing machine doesn't (and should never) ��

Same with (short barreled) hand guns vs SBRs. Both fire the projectile, but theyou regulate the one that's difficult to conceal...

I'm waiting for the coloring book v.2.0 response.

GREAT. 7 month wait for stamps that arrived. Now I can't get the parts I want. What next .gov

I better go out and buy a small block GM so I have something to go with this bag of untouched freeze plugs.

There's 1/2 doz places that offer pre-shaped storage cups in Al, SS & Ti. Like a FP all you need is finishing once approval arrives.

I think Colopatt was saying that the tubes, end caps and thread protectors were no longer available, not just the freeze plugs.

I know there are a few places but none as easy to deal with and plug and play as SDTA.
