  3. 80% receivers and trusts

    in Second Amendment, 922r & the law

    Posted

    Hi guys

     

     I understand that if I build an AK receiver (or an AR receiver for that matter), that it would be for personal use, I cannot sell it, and when I die, it is supposed to be destroyed, as they can't be transferred to another. My question is: if I were to have a trust (like an NFA trust), could the receiver be "made" by, and be the property of the trust? It's considered a legal "person, per se. Trusts don't die like people do. That way, a surviving trustee would still have access to the weapon.

     

     I'm not talking about making the reciever into an SBR on a form 1. I'm talking about having it as a title 1 semi auto rifle or pistol.

     

     Just curious if anyone knows.

     

    Thanks

  5. Hard primer ammo. Solutions?

    in Reloading and Ammunition

    Posted

    Ran across some Russian 223 ammo at a local gun show. Steel case. The guy had 5 or 6 boxes of 1000 each. Decent price, but......

     

    He said the primers were harder (or maybe he said thicker) than regular ammo and that your average 223 rifle (like an AR) probably wouldn't ignite it without modifying it with a heavier hammer spring. I'm looking at them for my Saiga 233, not an AR.

     

    I read somewhere that some folks had increased the depth of their firing pin strikes by removing a very slight amount of material from the back of the AK's bolt. A few thousands, I'm thinking. Would this be safe? Would a stronger hammer spring be better to try? I would think so, but wanted people's opinions that may have tried it. 

     

     To my way of thinking (that doesn't always work), having a heavier hammer spring and perhaps a SLIGHTLY longer firing pin would solve the problem, but then, if regular primered ammo was fired through the rifle, you may run the risk of primer penetration.

     

    Thoughts?

     

    Thanks guys

  8. RPK sight for Saiga

    in Saiga .223

    I have one on mine. It's handy for sure. I THINK the variance for the different calibers are made into the rear sight base, not the actual rear sight (as Koevoet says above). I've only used mine out to 300 meters though, so I can't say how it would do beyond that.

     How do you think his proposed NFA Trust change will affect people that already have them? I assume they checked my background when I filed on behalf of the Trust. I've never even had so much as a parking ticket in my life, so whatever. But will they say "Sorry, you can't own that NFA item until we check you out"?

     

     I'm wanting to add my wife as a trust member as well. Like me, she's got a clean record. I suspect I should probably do that sooner rather than later.

  12. Favorite .45acp Handgun

    Years ago, I had a Firestar in 45 ACP. I wish I hadn't traded it away. I (like Sparticus) also have a Taurus PT145. Had it for a few years now and it's never given me an issue yet. It's only had somewhere around 2k rounds through it, barely. Still, it's always gone bang when I've asked it to. A friend of mine picked up the mini XD single stack 45 about 4 months ago and it looks and feels great. Shoots nice too. I'm considering one for myself.

  16. AR 10 - build or buy?

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    My deceased buddy's widow still has all his firearms, including an Armalite/Eagle AR-10. I know that Eagle Arms had bought the rights to the AR-10 at one point and produced some. Not sure if they still do or if they are any good. What's weird though, is I understand the Eagle Arms AR-10s are supposed to have chrome moly barrels instead of stainless, but I'd swear that one has a stainless barrel. Been thinking of trying to buy it from her.

  20. Has anybody seen or played with one of these triggers?

    maybe if it wasnt so pricey

     

    Agreed. If they were $50 or so, then maybe. I polished my G2 group and it's plenty smooth and fast enough for me. I suppose if someone were trying to make a DMR or sniper setup, you could add take up and overtravel adjustments, but for just shooting fast, IMO, put the money toward ammo and PRACTICE turning money into noise, if you really want to shoot that quickly.

  23. STAR WARS!!!!

    I'm DEFINITELY a Star Wars fan.

     

     Not sure if I'm a geek or a nerd though. Probably geek. I prefer to call myself a "Trilogian", as I only recognize the original trilogy and consider the prequels about the same way I would expanded universe comic books. Mostly because of Lucas introducing the whole "Barney the Dinosaur factor" with Jar Jar, so the little kids would watch. 

     

     So, how much of a geek am I? Well, one of my hobbies is designing custom lightsaber hilts (no, they can't cut anything). They're basically flashlights with a plastic tube for a blade and custom sound effects. Here's the saber I'm most known for:
