IF any of you guys want to get a QD suppressor for your RFB OR other weapons, I suggest that you hurry. It seems that on several gunboards there are threads concerning ADAPTERS that allow the use of ONE silencer on many different firearms. It appears that in the view of BATFE, these interfaces ARE considered silencer parts & will be regulated as such & that ONE mount for ONE silencer will be allowed.
 
READ this blurb about a QD component for a YHM silencer:
 
"Emailed YHM about getting a new piston for my Cobra so I could put it on my Sig and this is what I got back.
 
 
 
Sir,
Unfortunately I have bad news. We were finally notified by ATF Monday morning that we can no longer sell individual pistons, 3-lug adapters, fixed barrel adapters and most other components separately. We can sell a sound suppressor with one attaching device and that is it. We are not very happy to say the least. This is going to affect our business tremendously. Apparently, we were the first, and now ATF is going to go after all other sound suppressor manufacturers as well. We are going to fight this, and the owner of this company has already contacted some attorneys about taking legal action. As you saw we were forced to take all the products off our web page or face legal action by ATF. We are waiting to hear the final word on the QD mounts, and I am not expecting good news about them either. All I can tell you now is to be patient while we appeal ATF's ruling and hopefully get it overturned. Sorry for the inconvenience, however our hands are tied at the moment, and no one is more upset than us over this matter."
 
Grandfathered? Threatening letters to come? RAIDS based on mailing lists? OBAMA_NATION?  
 
Are these KLOWNS thinking with their "dipsticks"? Why do these idiots keep asking for "rulings"?  
 
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy!

That truely does suck.  
 
Thanks for the heads up.
 
Just ordered a Blackout mount for my M4-2007.
 
Now I guess I'll have to get another host to mount it to.

This is the first I have heard of this.
 
if limiting QD mounts for suppressors is the goal, then the threads on the end of barrels are next. I guess they are not "quick" detach, but they do allow a suppressor to be used on multiple guns.

I can only just imagine what Mike Stannard of "Tornado Technologies" is thinking right now!

IMHO, He's the best in the industry.

Granted the weapon tested was an SKS & a broken firearm (one that cannot produce more than one round of firing from a single manipulation of the trigger) is likely to produce an "invalid" conclusion as to whether or not the combination of the device + SKS = MG. However, in those letters, Tech Branch understood the "operation" nonetheless & still granted "permission" to distribute w/o a post '86 classification. Unfortunately, semantics can often come into play & the definition of what actually constitutes the "trigger" becomes the issue. What should have happened is this: Akins submits a working Ruger 10/22 + AA for the determination. Agreed? In any event, "rulings" are only valid for the entity requesting said ruling, but often become the law of the land as a set precedent. This empowers BATFE to effectively turn opinion into enforceable action for other parties not directly involved, but having a situation of a similar nature.
 
I think that there is sufficient anecdotal basis in fact as well as documented courtroom transcripts to indicate that in many instances ATF has abused their authority by intentionally skewing test parameters.
 
To get back on topic within the context of "silencer" components, if this ruling stands unchallenged, the firearms industry is in for a major wakeup call. It doesn't take much of a stretch of the imagination to see where this is headed with regard to "threaded barrels" for example.  
 
It's fairly obvious to me, at least, that our RIGHT to own firearms & ammunition is under attack by the Obama Administration. When Obama said that he wasn't after our guns, how many folks actually believed that rubbish? Can you say: PANIC BUYING? AMMO SHORTAGES?
 
I wonder how many people truly understand the meaning of the 2nd Amendment. It has absolutely nothing to do with protecting the "privilege" of duck hunters to use firearms in "sporting" activities. Try to get BATFE to define the concept of "sporting" vs "non-sporting" if you do not understand the concept.
 
With the "Ammo Accountability Act" on the horizon mandating the destruction of ALL stockpiles of non-encoded ammunition & the reintroduction of bills outlawing COP KILLER BULLETS, you'd have to have your head buried in the sand not to grasp what is happening behind the scenes. Virtually all centerfire rifle ammunition has the potential to penetrate a typical "ballistic vest"; armor piercing not withstanding.
 
SLAVES DON'T OWN GUNS... PERIOD

I am no lawyer, nor am I a political analyst....but I'm not sure a congressional bill is necessary to get several gun owners in trouble in this case.  The BATFE, who has a friend in the whitehouse that I'm sure is quite willing to look the other way,  can rule by fiat that, say, the 10mm thread adapter that SWR Spectre for attachment to the FN FiveseveN is now a "Suppressor Part" and therefore a suppressor in and of itself.  (Meaning, that if I possessed both 1/2x28 and 10mm thread caps for the Spectre, I would need TWO tax stamps.) So possession of an individual thread adapter could be considered an unregistered suppressor. This stroke of the pen could turn hundreds of people who own suppressors into unwitting felons......all without the say so of Congress.  
 
This is why Bureaucracies are so dangerous...every new government agency reduces the power of Elected Officials.  Making our republican (little R) way of life a farce.

Here's a little light reading for you, courtesy of the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION:

Should you want to discuss POLITICS, perhaps a separate thread elsewhere should deal with that issue.
 
Defining what constitutes a "silencer part" is the real threat here!
 
"This stroke of the pen could turn hundreds of people who own suppressors into unwitting felons......all without the say so of Congress."
 
I remember a time that I legally purchased a STRIKER-12 "shotgun" on a 4473 from a type 01 FFL. This 12rd, 12ga weapon could NOT be imported for civilian sales, so it was manufactured in the USA by SWD in the format of the "Streetsweeper" & by Sentinel Arms & Penn Arms as the "STRIKER-12". These companies were also granted "permission" to do so by TECH Branch. At some point, Lloyd Bentsen invoked the "non-sporting clause" to reclassify this firearm as a "Destructive Device". Afterall, it has a bore diameter over 1/2" & IS NON-SPORTING (whatever that means) in the "opinion" of this Treasury official. Come to think of it, how many 12gauge shotguns are out there right now that might be reclassified because some @$$KLOWN says they are "non-sporting"? You think about that long & hard!
 
An amnesty period was granted for the NFA registration of said weapon including the Daewoo/Gilbert USAS-12 as well. If you are caught with an unregistered DD, you are subject to $250K in fines & 10 years at Leavenworth for each count.
 
At least in America, you are still free to be blissfully in denial or merely delusional.

Admittedly, I only read (several times) the fact sheet that was highlighted in the previous post.
 
Can you provide pointers on where this exercise invokes or simulates martial law ?
 
Thanks, Bert
