- cdot2 5y agoYour poor bank account
- jcims 5y agoEh, think of it as diversification. (until you start buying ammo anyway)
- tomschlick 5y agoDepending on the political climate, buying and sitting on large amounts of ammo for the next price surge could be a good investment.

- tomschlick 5y agoThankfully that legislative idiocy seems constrained to specific states.
- throaway46546 5y agoWhat the DOJ doesn't know can't hurt it.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoFor the record, this is what get people on illegal (whole debate on the legality of the NFA aside) machine guns and silencers. Yes, your state may have a prohibition which is a criminal action, but the feds want you for tax evasion for not paying the $200. Iirc, rapper Ti went to jail for tax evasion on his illegal guns. Another side topic how he spent 1 year in jail while the statute says it’s a 10 year crime. If you are going to break the law, be rich first.

- rpmisms 5y agoGuns depreciate very slowly, and if high-quality or unusual, they often appreciate. Not really a net worth hit.
- pvarangot 5y agoI think when I sold my 1911 it was more expensive than when I bought it, but even though I didn't use it much I had spent like at least 5 or 6 guns just on ammo and I still sucked with the thing.
- rpmisms 5y ago1911s are wonderful, but definitely not for everyone. Polarizing grip angle.
- JasonFruit 5y agoI love it until it stovepipes again.
- rpmisms 5y agoAs a Beretta lover, I felt that in my soul. John Moses Browning, we're sorry for ignoring the hi-power.
- aerostable_slug 5y agoFYI, the new Springfield Hi-Power is very cool.
- rpmisms 5y agoThere's also a printable frame for it. Really nice to see one of the coolest old guns get revived.

- Blackthorn 5y agoI'm only slightly ashamed to admit I bought a modern Mauser replica action to build a clone of the k98 used by Riza in Fullmetal Alchemist.
- rpmisms 5y agoDude, that rocks! The gun-building community is going crazy these days. There's some very cool sci-fi guns being printed: https://twitter.com/p80ralph/status/1473091500225572866/photo/1 https://twitter.com/p80ralph/status/1473091500225572866/phot...
- everforward 5y agoBe very careful with those. It's *very* easy to end up on the wrong side of the ATF. I.e. on that one you posted, he's calling it a pistol, but it appears to have a stock to me. I believe that makes it a rifle in ATF terms. Rifles have to have a 16" barrel, or they're short-barreled rifles that require a whole bunch of extra paperwork and some taxes. The class is called NFA Items, and includes fully automatic weapons. I.e. making that thing is the same as home-manufacturing a machine gun to the law. I'm going to hope for his sake that he's got the appropriate FFL licenses to allow him to make such things. It seems like they're really into the space, so it wouldn't surprise me. I don't think those licenses are crazy hard to get, but I could be wrong.
- modoc 5y agoNot the referenced folk, but I have the licenses. They are not extremely difficult to get, but you need to be running a real firearms business, not just for yourself as a hobby or collection. ATF has cracked down on people using the licenses as a cheap way to avoid tax stamps and paperwork.
- chipsa 5y agoThe back of the "stock" looks pretty highly sloped. I think it's a fin type stabilizer. You don't need an FFL to make NFA items. You just need to have the tax stamp before you start if you don't have an FFL SOT.
