Growth In Gun Manufacturing Licenses In Florida And Nationwide
With a second American Revolution on the way, guns will be bringing in some big money.
"You have clubs out here that get together to have AR-15 building parties — that’s how easy it is to find parts these days," Winkler said. "You no longer have to be an ironsmith to put these guns together."
Build parties are about completing 80% lowers. Fitting the rest of the parts has never needed much in the way of skill or tools.
BATF, though, recently issued a ruling limiting the ability of individuals to share, borrow, or rent tools, so the build parties have pretty much dried up.
So, of course, people are making jigs that allow you to complete an 80% upper with inexpensive hand tools.
Held, any person (including any corporation or other legal entity) engaged in the business of performing machining, molding, casting, forging, printing (additive manufacturing) or other manufacturing process to create a firearm frame or receiver, or to make a frame or receiver suitable for use as part of a “weapon … which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive,” i.e., a “firearm,” must be licensed as a manufacturer under the GCA; identify (mark) any such firearm; and maintain required manufacturer’s records.
Held further, a business (including an association or society) may not avoid the manufacturing license, marking, and recordkeeping requirements of the GCA by allowing persons to perform manufacturing processes on blanks or incomplete firearms (including frames or receivers) using machinery, tools, or equipment under its dominion and control where that business controls access to, and use of, such machinery, tools, or equipment.
“”Everyone wants that gun that sprays bullets, but do you really need those? Will you really use that in the real world?” Bisbee said.
Just build it, dumbass. What we use it for is none of your business.
Store ammo, not gold.
My feelings, exactly.
[CHORUS]
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn’t cost me a dime
You’ll know it’s me when I come through your town
I’m gonna ride around in style
I’m gonna drive everybody wild
‘Cause I’ll have the only one there is around.
Does a "high end" $3,000 AR fire a greater distance than an off the shelf $1,200 AR, assuming the same barrel length and ammo used? Or perhaps just more accurately?
This is nothing but a hit piece designed to conflate gun stores, gun manufacturers, and gunsmiths. It is also designed to build support for the full registration of every single gun with the Federal government. I will not comply. Death first.
LOL, well played.
That plays on my Pandora channel every now and then.
But when the time comes that you do need it, you really do need it.
An by then it's too late to get one.
$1200 AR? Today, I was holding a brand new Armalite, with iron sites and picananny rail system, for $616. You can get a brand new Sig 556 MCX for about $1400.
Right now Caliph Baraq is regarded as the #1 gun salesman in US history.
However if Hillary wins, she will grab the title shortly after her first SCOTUS pick is announced.
2nd Amendment bump for later....
You must not live in occupied country.
No. I live in a small town in Florida where I can’t throw a rock without hitting a gun store. As a matter of fact today we purchased a Diamondback DB-15 (made in FL) AR-15 clone for our American Legion gun raffle. It will be raffled off at our next quarterly gun show. $475 out the door. Truthfully, we got it for cost from the guy who runs the gun show. List price is $685.
SoCal here and S+W AR listed 650.
Best I’ve seen..
Allow me to post this again, just to get the word out:
Check out the article in Volume 70, Issue 13 of Firearms News (formerly Shotgun News) about pouring AR-15 lower receivers from polymer resin. At least one of these has had more than 5,000 rounds fired through it.
