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.

ATF Rul. 2015-1.

So, of course, people are making jigs that allow you to complete an 80% upper with inexpensive hand tools.

Drill out an 80% AR-15 Lower in 5 min with hand drill

“”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.

Not a single word in the story about having to register with the US Department of State as an ITAR manufacturer, at $2,250 per year.

[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.

"Silver Beard Firearms of Tallahassee owner Charles Bisbee said he makes only high-end AR-15 rifles that shoot long distances and usually cost $3,400."

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.

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....

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.
