    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    After my boy Hades passed in his sleep 6 months ago, I guess I've been moping around more than I thought I was. Unbeknownst to me--but knownst to everyone else in the family--my incredible woman set me up on a play date with this little guy yesterday. 'Hide, meet Soldier. Soldier, these are...

    1st Efile Approval

    I didn't use any pre-made parts, so that probably helped. I clicked 'submit' on Dec 7th, 2022. Mailed my prints on Dec 8th and they arrived at ATF on Dec 12th. The approval email was sent at 6:06 AM on Dec 17th, 2022. (last Saturday) These are the pics I sent--I put on the application that...

    1st Efile Approval

    I'm sitting on Day 164 of my eForm 4. <grumpy> To take my mind off it, I submitted a couple of eForm 1s--both of those managed to get approved quickly. (SBR took 15 days and home made can took 11 days). It's the same background check, the same verifications......I'm wondering howinthehell it...

    Lost my loyal friend Kojak this evening

    Rest in peace Kojak. I lost my best friend and companion Hades 6 months ago and I'm still grieving. I hope you're handling it better than I did. You have my sincere condolences for your loss.

    Form 1 engraving photo issue

    I had the same question on my first F1. (also an AR pistol to SBR) None of my pics were in the CLEO copy, and my selfie pic was also sideways. It was approved in 9 days.

    Yugo M70 won’t feed HP reliably

    I had the same problem on my Century M70 u/f. I got it to run by welding up the magazine catch so it was about 1/10" longer.

    eForm 1 SBR question

    @cjs88 I've been a member here for close to 20 years and you're the first one to ask about it! I'm a retired USAF E7 and I was commissioned a Kentucky Colonel by Governor Paul Patton in 2003. Being a Kentucky Colonel means nothing other than somebody once thought I was a good enough person...

    eForm 1 SBR question

    That was my very first F1.....and personally, I think this is pretty fucking stupid since the lower receiver is the only registered part....but you're absolutely right. If you already have an approved tax stamp from the ATF then you can simply send a letter to the ATF describing which uppers...

    eForm 1 SBR question

    Yessir, engrave after approval. No point in the engraving if the application gets denied. Just don't put it into SBR configuration until you have all the ducks lined up. It's easy when SBR'ing an AR. F1 approved and stamp in hand. Engrave. Remove stupid brace and install proper stock/swap...

    eForm 1 SBR question

    It's a surprisingly easy process. It's kind of like registering your first used car at the DMV......but a longer wait. You need to have all your information right before you get an approval but after you've done it once, the process makes more sense. Log into eForms, fill out the form. Some...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Notice that she uses PhD in her profile. She's probably like 90% of the head shrinkers out there and got into psychology to self-diagnose. ETA: Ahhhh--I don't do Twitter and didn't realize that she's just trolling. I guess I've seen too many fucked up posts for something that ridiculous to...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    That's why I filed my F1 SBR two weeks ago. I didn't want to get caught in another ATF clusterfuck. If the brace ban doesn't happen......cool. I'll still have a SBR :cool: ETA: Holy shit!!! eForm 1 was submitted 11/15/2022. Prints were mailed 11/16/2022 and received at ATF on...

    Accessible Dope Cards while Shooting

    I have cards that I velcro to the rifle that are specific to conditions (temperature) and various loads. But I also have this for a drop Quick Reference Guide.

    Who plays guitar

    I'm another hack. I like to pick, but I wouldn't say that I play. (I traded a hunting knife for my first guitar on a C-130 on my way to Desert Storm) I also like to tinker, so I picked up this Tele kit. The neck and all the guts it came with are fucking garbage so I bought a nice Warmoth...

    Excellent! Thanks guys--I was starting to sweat a little :)

    eForm 1 SBR question

    I efiled my first Form 1 for a SBR the other day. When I received my CLEO and coversheet paperwork, I noticed that my photo is rotated 90 degrees--it shows up properly in the workflow, but I wasn't able to view the completed form until after submitting. Is this going to cause a rejection or...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I've been reading similar all over the internets......I just completed my first F1 paperwork (SBR, filed as individual) last night and I'll be mailing my fingerprint cards today on my lunch break. One thing I haven't been able to find--are F1 suppressors being treated the same way as SBRs or...

    Lefty triggers

    I've got a Timney The Hit lefty on my B14R and a Timney Calvin Elite lefty on my R700 centerfire. Easy installation and both work well for my needs. They're both single stage--that's what I prefer, and I never shopped around for anything else. I wish you luck finding the 2 stage you...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I'm at day 102, and I'm also impatient. I bought 7/4/22 and certified 7/7/22. Calling your rep isn't going to change anything as THOUSANDS of people are in front of us--most have been waiting even longer. Believe it or not, but if SS and my dealer had been more realistic about the expected...
