First tax stamp approved!

[maverick2076]

So, my first tax stamp was approved last week. While I hate paying the $200 extortion fee, the joy of having an SBR is too good to pass up. So, here is my first SBR. Its an AR-9 with a 4.5" barrel. Its built on a lower from Runner Runner Guns designed for Glock mags, and has an MFT stock and grip. The grip has interchangeable front and back straps that allow you to fit it to your hand. The optic is one of Primary Arms' Advanced Micro Dots. Right now it is wearing a 3" KAK Industries flash can to get the muzzle out near the end of the rail. That will only be there until I get my Form 1 can built, which got approved this morning!

Very nice!

Carbine practice match I was at Sunday, there were at least 3 of us running 9mm carbines of one type or another.

How do you like the PA micro?

[maverick2076]

I love the PA micro. I have had their older one for years. It has always held zero and performed well for me. This one improves on it by adding better controls, NV compatibility, and the ridiculous battery life. The only reason I haven't ordered more is because their new version with the ACSS reticle should be out in the next couple of weeks. While it may not have Aimpoint durability, I'm not taking it on a deployment either. I've banged up my older one a bit and had no issues.

I've got one of their fixed 5x optics with the ACSS and am a fan.

[maverick2076]

I just put the 1-6 ACSS scope on an 18" build, and it is amazing.

I have a Yogu M85 in 5.56. I want to SBR it. I am debating side folder to the left or under foloder?

[maverick2076]

IMO, a side folder is quicker to deploy, and generally has a more useful stock. But under folders look cooler.

The best option so far, is CNC bone stock, folding right side at 9". It is out of stock. Not sure where else I can find one.
How long your $200 stamp took to get it approved?
Most likely, I will send my M85 for gunsmith to do the conversion while waiting for the stamp to be shipped home.

[maverick2076]

I efiled mine on 16 February and got it back last week.my form 1 suppressor was efiled on 18 February and approved today. If you are just filing now, I'd expect it to take a year.

Congrats! Stamp collecting is addictive.

[maverick2076]

Yeah, it is. I've got 2 approved, and 3 more in the pipe. I think my next one will be a commercially purchased .22 can.

[maverick2076]

Thanks! Y'all were a big part of pushing me into the NFA game, and especially the Form 1 suppressors. I'm hoping to have my suppressor done by the time we hit our next range day on the 26th.
