[Underwhere]

Ahh, werd. Well I'm subscribed to see the outcome.

Well, this may take a while.
3 rifles = $$$$

I'm gathering parts gradually.
Today I got 2 CAA 2 grips.

I still need all 3 lower parts kits and entire uppers as well as stocks.

No hurry, haha, I'm not going anywhere!

Quick and horrible photochop of a possible color combo

 

[meth0d]

I dig it!

I was messing around in MSPaint, your version is much better, haha.

How about doing the dust cover and/or brake too?

ETA: what stock is that?

 

[Underwhere]

Yeah, still considering all options including the brake.
I think that's a Magpul stock.

I like the Aadams Family credo (even if it is mock-Latin):

Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc

"We gladly feast on those who would subdue us"

 

[MassMark]

How about:

"ontday uckfay ithway imay amilyfay"

How about:

"ontday uckfay ithway imay amilyfay"

I like it.

I'm planning on ordering another Anvil Arms lower with the Square & Compasses etched onto it, with the caption "Freedom, Fervency & Zeal".

Sorry, I can't explain that - unless you're a Mason, and then you know already.

I love that!

 

[P-14]

"Sic Vis Pacem; Para Bellum" is always appropriate.

"Thus, wish peace; prepare [for] war"??

Ah, already translated on page 1 at the bottom.

Sorry, everybody.

 

[Underwhere]

Hmmm.

I really don't think engraving on a firearm is any different than engraving on anything else.

There you go expecting gun laws to make sense. I think there may be issues with doing it for hire without an FFL. A quick google found somebody thought so, but nothing that convinced me either way.

I was really speaking more to the actual act of engraving rather than the laws.
I found an engraving in Boston who happens to have his FID.

ATF says:

(I1) Is a license needed to engage in the business of engraving, customizing, refinishing or repairing firearms? [Back]

Yes. A person conducting such activities as a business is considered to be a gunsmith within the definition of a dealer.

Though the law says:

(d) Gunsmith. A person who devotes time, attention, and labor to engaging in such activity as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit, but such a term shall not include a person who makes occasional repairs of firearms or who occasionally fits special barrels, stocks, or trigger mechanisms to firearms;

Sounds like he can do a few for you, but if he makes it a part of his business, he needs an FFL.

But in MA a receiver is not a firearm.

Doesn't matter when we're talking about federal law.

Yep. That's true.
We fall well within the law in my opinion. I think we're good

 

[dwarven1]

The law is an ass.

And so is the ATF.
