      Question About Nation's Gun Show

      Not selling guns or ammo? I've heard the radio ad on WMAL twice now past two days and towards the end of the radio spot I COULD SWEAR they said "Buy just about anything except guns or ammo" Is it time to get my hearing checked?

      First NFA items - wow !

      Received my first SBR and suppressor. Got a Colt 6945 with a Surefire can (thanks to Andy and Engage). Wow is that fun to shoot! I cannot imagine wanting to shoot without a can...lessens sound and recoil and is fun ! Now, what next to buy????:)

      What paperwork to keep with gun?

      current ATF wait time

They had to vote on an amendment that would have somehow improved the reporting of those individuals with known mental health issues to prevent unstable individuals obtaining...

      Transfer the gun but not the mags?

      Heading up to PA in a couple of weeks. If I bought a hand gun with a 12 round mag, could the dealer just sell me the handgun and send to FFL here for transfer and then let me buy the magazines from him there while in PA and just bring them back to MD? The way I understand it, that is compliant...

      Cashed Check - now what?

      OK, first NFA items, both new purchase, done by trust and submitted by gun shop to ATF. Took 2 months but check was just cashed. I have looked at NFATracker but from what I can tell this is just people updating their personal expereinces which seem to vary depending on Form 1 vs 4, electronic...
