Thanks for the info.

Question on the print cards: If submitting cover letters together for more than one form, is one set of prints good for all, or is a set of cards req'd for each.

I had a similar situation about ten years ago involving a 1928. It had an OAL listed on the previous F4 as 23". I knew that was wrong, but it had been approved previously, and I didn't want to change anything, so left it as such on my submission, which came through in about 28 days(Really! Had a great examiner then.). I think it was maybe a year later, I got a call from a really nice lady that told me they were correcting the registry and noticed the error. I told her that I was aware of it, but that's how it was listed, so I just left it alone. I told her that I was puzzled by it, too, and the only thing I could come up with was that maybe it was measured with the stock detached. I measured it while we were on the phone, gave her the correct measurement, and that took care of it.

I'm not looking at it right now, but at the beginning of the process, on the sign-in page, I believe, there's a separate link for the brace registration, and it will take you to a page that asks what type transfer you are doing. At the bottom is a button that is already highlighted that says "tax-free", and that should take you in the right direction. I've tried twice to submit a form, but can't get the photo of the receiver stampings to load properly, which appears to be the final step. It says that it's processing, but after several minutes, times out the session, and I have to log back in and start the process over, with only my personal information saved. This is as far as I have gotten - twice!

As others said, the Maglula is an excellent loader, as well as an excellent unloader. Held upside-down, it will pop rounds out as fast as you can work the lever. I haven't used one for the AK, but have extensively for ARs.

Thanks to all for the info.

What's the best way to ship ammo to a friend in another "free" state? He just bought his first handgun and, like everyone else, is unable to find target-grade 9mm. I have a good supply, and would like to help him out.

Lane, I bought a FLIR 233 about three years ago for about $1800 with a discount, and I'm really impressed with its features. There are numerous online videos showing its use in the field, and reviews I've read only criticize short battery life from its two CR-123s, but it will accept external power. I've only played with it off the gun, and the visual quality is amazing. I didn't have a gun that I wanted to dedicate for night-use only at the time, but have now selected one to serve that purpose, plus, it has a side rail that will accommodate a reflex sight for daytime. With the current situation in our country, it makes no sense to have it sitting in the box.

Rollerskates and bungee cords?

I second that emotion - Buddy has been right there when I've had questions.

Sorry to hear you lost your money, that's not good. Like I said, he did right by me and this is the first I've heard of anyone having a problem. I've had a couple of deals with others that had me nervous, but things worked out okay. Again, sorry you had a bad deal, he seemed okay.

Has anyone ever actually been scammed by Mark Mann? I bought a HK host and sear from him and he did everything he was supposed to do, and actually some things that were an added expense to him that he could've required me to pay. I know he got into trouble with ATF, which is not hard to do, and don't know that that would be considered a scam, but I have to wonder if the fact that he is disabled, and has to rely on others, may have been a factor. At the time of our dealings, he told me that it was a problem for him to find people he could depend on in his business operations. I don't think it's fair to label someone a scammer without providing supporting details.

Handydan, Sorry to hear about your problem. The Sheriff of Hood County is listed as Roger Deeds, and the number is 817-579-3316. Maybe he can be of help. I would utilize every resource. Good luck, and please keep us advised.

Glad to hear that about Wells Fargo, got one just up the street. ACE has announced that after considering input from the public, which I'm sure means supporters of gun rights, they are resuming their sponsorship of Laura Ingraham's program. They stated that they initially reacted to "incorrect information" when they pulled their sponsorship following Hogg's childish call for a boycott of Ingraham's sponsors. This is good news since ACE stores are owned and operated by local folks, many of which feel the same as us, and were victimized in the process, plus, it's a win for us. I've bought a lot of screws, bolts, springs(great spring selection), paints, stains, lubes...all used in gun projects, and I'm glad to become a customer again. The My Pillow company not only retained their sponsorship from the beginning, but increased it considerably. I'm going to order some pillows from them and thank them for sticking with us when it wasn't the PC thing to do.

Great video, Buddy! I'd like to buy that man a "free lunch". GB
