  1. Interesting since the ATF allowed the firearms to move around without confiscating them.
  2. I thought another family member got the FFL, like his wife or son.. If I remember what I read about it before.
  3. Just a small update: I've made 2 versions now. One which will dent the neck a bit if it is charged with the BCG closed, and another where it does a minor scratch. The dented one will just reshape itself once fired.. but doesn't dent any more after the first round. (it dents because the insert push the round downwards and the bolt edge scrapes across it. I'm thinking the more aggressive one is going to work the best. Both I like the way they are working.. at least manually. I should be receiving a actual Mark G insert to just compare, but I suspect from photos I've seen, it will be quite aggressive like my neck denting one. It's going to be an interesting comparison.
  4. Wow.. that's messed up. I'm surprised they are still even in business after this long.
  5. So I looked at Autoweapons a while back.. Has his website ever changed? Any case common responses about the company was their prices were too high and they were jerks. Some people said they shot with him and he was pretty nice. Back in 2015, wasn't the owner indicted with some type of machinegun and laser fraud dealing with the sheriff's department. I think this was the article about it: https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/federal-judge-sentences-a-former-east-coast-gun-dealer-to/article_f8949955-f941-5a28-9c9c-33bfbf4e2cf3.html Edit: Oh here's the link I read about that company. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18507 Just note I know nothing about this company except what I read on the internet.. Sounds like I would avoid them.

    giving up sot

    I always wondered what was the procedure for selling posties when giving up the SOT. I'm assuming you have to notify the ATF so they would approve any postie transfers. Also what if the transfer took a extra long time and it didn't complete until after you license expired (which is OP's case). Personally I'd just pay the $500 to ensure you don't get into some issue. I'm sure your stuff is worth more than $500. I'd too be interested in buying some of your post MGs.
  7. That would suck if they have.
  8. Interesting.. No 3rd hole, but looks like a F/A hammer in IT. Was this stop for a DIAS?
  9. For the price it would be likely a SBR semiauto
  10. Photo would help the people who would possibly be in the know.
  11. I just read on weaponsguild.com that someone had a single cut receiver.. And they were contacted to give up the cut receiver part, of course they did. Originally the AFT person told them to give up the whole parts kit but he challenged it and the supervisor said they only need the cut receiver.
  12. Probably a photo of the marking would be good. Jog some memories of people who may have seen it before.
  13. Wouldn't it depend on when the kit was cut? If it was demilled 2 decades ago then it should be legal. Not sure if it would be illegal to sell a one cut kit that was demilled at a time it was legal to cut that method. Of course hard part is to determine when it was cut unless they can get a paper trail via receipts.
  14. Hmm.. for you guys that MCR's I have a question.. Do you load with the bolt open? I always do. I noticed that with the insert it would dent the casing a small amount due to the bolt riding on the casing due to tight tolerance. I already made a reduced version that reduces the denting to a scratch.. but it gives up a little on the aggressive feeding. I don't think the manual says anything about needing to load with the bolt open.. but photos in the manual shows it. My question is how important is it to you guys to avoid denting the casing near the neck area. I would this it is.. and if it is, what's acceptable level of rubbing. Note this only occurs on the first round. 2nd round would never have a dent due to the way it is springing into the feed tray. I think if I model the front of the insert a bit more aggressively, but keep the back the same way, it could get the similar results.. but testing required. I wonder if Mark G went through this many iterations to get his angles. I'm curious if his dented the neck of the first round if loading on a close bolt.
  15. Photos would be good. I would treat it as corrosive just in case. Chono them just to determine if they are hot. You can ask here.. There are some real ammo experts there. https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/
  16. That is a fine example of what you should do to determine if it is a scam or not. Did they do anything like make you feel like you need to buy quickly or someone else would buy it? That too is a sign of a scam. Also send payment only to what is on the FFL.. But that is no guarantee the FFL themselves are a fraud..
  17. When I have them ready I'll sign up for being able to sell on this site (been meaning to do that). I just printed 2 to designs and hope one of them will work better than the other. I expect it to work on both designs but I'm trying to get the one that pops the nosehead of the round more center to the chamber and minimize contact to the feedramp. Also I need to work on documentation to make sure you customize it to your MCR/Shrike since there could be differences in tolerance. With my 20+ sample prints, I am getting a good handle on what part does what to the round as it enters the feed slot of the feeding tray.
  18. I am getting close.. just been spinning my wheels on my last print. previous 4 builds worked great, last 2 prints (with new print material) and it became less reliable. This just means I need to order some of the good print material to keep the reliability of the part. Interesting enough empty shell casing allowed me to see the issue due to its expanded neck size. So so far I've been testing using PPU 5.56 (bullet), American Eagle M163 (bullet), Lapua reload (bullet), Wolf 223 (brass only), Lake City 5.56 (brass only), Frontier 223 (brass only) for test feeding. Of course this doesn't replace live fire as we all know that's where issues pop up.
  19. So here's my little update.. This will help retain the part when opening the cover.. allow easier removal as well. There shouldn't be any issues when in use due to the top cover would be crushing the insert into place. I am however still working on some angles to ensure reliability.
  20. Be sure to look at this mod when you get your Reising. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8854
  21. I remember people were freaking out about M16. Too young and naive back then
