My ATF approval was less than 24 hours... The down side is I did it all online, so still waiting for them to ship it. Should have it in about a week though 😃
When I worked at a local gun shop, we would have down staters come in after dark the night before the season deer opener, buy a new gun, have us mount a rifle scope, and bore sight it... Good to go for the opener!
Some of them even got deer 😑😳😑
Yeah, I've seen those. Interesting but as you said, pricey. And I just can't get into the look.
Apparently tube fed is a lot harder to build since it's rimless
The 9mm lever (tube fed, or possibly rotary mag) is something I've wanted, BAD, since getting my suppressor. AR is fun but action is still loud... 38 lever gun is QUIET, but would be great to use 9mm.
500 s$w lever gun that's affordable is a real good idea too...
