M855/ss109

Yeah, I checked my order and it was actually Sunday, not really last week. Guess I got it in just in time. I've always purchased pulled green tip bullets in the past and these Wideners ones are virgin...I need to figure out a way to quickly paint the tips so I can visually separate them from the 55g FMJ.

The principle upsets me more than the actual action. I don't think I've ever actually bought green tip. (BOUGHT being the key word here...}

I got some on Sunday around 1 PM. I guess I got in before the lock.

How does this clause not apply?

CHAPTER 44 § 921(a)(17)(B) the term 'armor piercing ammunition' means --" as armor piercing. then ammended "NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CARTRIDGES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE DEFINITION OF ARMOR PIERCING AMMUNITION: 5.56MM (.223) SS109 and M855 Ammunition, Identified by a green coating on the projectile tip.

Then it came back, maybe they are letting it out slowly?

I think Wideners (as much as I may have liked them in the past...) is playing games with the M855 event. The CTD list may need an addition...

I think this proposed ban on M855 gives new meaning to "Presidents Day Sale".

The ATF argues that, with the proliferation of AR style pistols, it's now a pistol round, which is illegal to sell armor piercing variants of.

I wrote them a letter and said that shooting it from a pistol constitutes a redesign of it's intended purpose, and that it would still be fine to shoot out of a rifle. Use their Sig brace ruling against them.

I have emailed the BATFE and left my comments and called Gardner and Bennett and asked them to use whatever influence that they may have to stop the ban on a popular plinking and target ammo that millions of enthusiasts use every day in the most popular rifle in the country. Politely I might add.
