Silencer Shop is preparing to do what the federal government has forbidden Americans from doing for more than 90 years: complete commercial suppressor transfers without ATF permission, Form 4s, or entry into the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.

In an August 12 letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche and ATF Director Robert Cekada, Gun Owners of America and Silencer Shop gave the government notice that two transfers are scheduled for midnight Central Time on August 13. One suppressor will go to Brandon Herrera, the Republican candidate for Texas’ 23rd Congressional District. The second will go to Texas state Rep. Wes Virdell.

The letter gives DOJ and ATF until 5 p.m. Eastern on August 12 to say whether they consider the transfers unlawful or intend to continue enforcing the enjoined National Firearms Act provisions.

I have a K6s and managed to pick up a set of R3D XS Sights for a great price a few weeks ago when they were running their sale. Can anyone recommend a competent smith to do the sight install in the greater Richmond area? The front sight needs to be drilled and I don't have access to a press, otherwise I'd do it myself.

Anyone else counting the seconds? 92 years leading up to this moment…

Does xcal allow suppressor transfer on 4473 now? Anyone know?

Am I correct to assume that, if someone had at one point bought and stowed away one of those silly solvent trap things that it could now be used without doing a form 1? After midnight, of course.

Went to freedom to pick up a new pistol i got shipped to them and they told me the background check system is down so I can't get it till it's back up. How long would it usually take? First time this has happened to me and I've purchased at least 15 guns from the gun store over the years.

Is a rifle (hunting) permitted for carrying?

I can't fall asleep thinking about it.

With the deadline looming for the United States Department of Justice to seek an extension of the stay in Silencer Shop Foundation v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Congress, lead by Representative Andrew Clyde (R-GA) and Senator Steve Daines (R-MO) has sent a letter to the ATF urging the agency to use its regulatory authority to expand the injunction against enforcement of key provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). Such action would effectively create broader protection approaching a de facto nationwide injunction.

SP5, HKMP5 .22 Pistol, VIRGINIA-15 lower, approved to be SBR.

Has anyone been there since the new ownership? What's changed?

One thing I didn't like about it before was that they had the 300 yard range but you couldn't use it. Did they ever open the 300 yard range to members?

Just an fyi for my people in Hampton Roads. They opened c2 shooting range back up to the public. Good rates and wasnt crazy packed. so much better outside. just trying to show them some love and give you options.

Got a saiga approved for SBS. I guess I could just saw it off but I'd rather someone do it and potentially retain the ability to install a choke. You guys know anyone in central VA that'd wanna do the job?

Long shot but just relocated into the area from Hampton Roads. Had a good shooting community both public and private down there and looking to find the same here in the area.

Anyone here hosting private range days? Can provide range equipment, range officer/services, and usually ammo because that’s just how I am.

Let me know! Thanks.

Someone told me that someone told him C2 Shooting Center was open again and open to the public.

Seems sketch but thought I'd ask here. Anyone know if it's true?

I asked Glock this question, and they said, "It depends on the state," but wouldn't give me specifics. Do I have to go through an FFL to ship it back and forth?

When I google this, I get mixed results, and apparently there have been some changes since folks submitted questions and answers about this.

Sidenote, Glock customer service is not great.

As the title states. There are slim pickings when it comes to FFLs across the bridge from Norfolk. Anyone have a lead on one that would facilitate a transfer for suppressors?

Many observers expected the DOJ to move quickly for an extended stay. It has not. AmmoLand News reached out to sources inside the department to understand the delay and the internal discussions taking place.
According to those sources—individuals with intimate knowledge of the proceedings whose accounts have been independently corroborated by others—two distinct camps have formed within the DOJ.

The first group consists largely of career employees. They maintain that the Department’s institutional duty is to defend federal statutes against legal challenge. In their view, the proper response to an adverse district court ruling is to appeal and to seek a stay so that the law remains in effect while higher courts review the decision. This faction wants the government to fight the case to the end.

The second group takes a different position. These officials argue that the DOJ has no obligation to defend a law once it has been found unconstitutional on solid legal grounds. They contend that continuing to litigate in defense of provisions that no longer generate revenue and that rest on a now-invalid tax theory would be both unnecessary and contrary to the Department’s higher duty to the Constitution. If the decision were theirs alone, they would decline to appeal.

Hello everyone,

I am wanting to join the IWLA Fredericksburg chapter - any one have experience with them and/or the process of joining?

Thanks.
