If/when that legislation passes, I will be heading to the store the day that takes effect, filling out the NICS stuff and, heading home with my 2 suppressors that are currently in NFA jail.
Good luck and stand fast, true Patriots.

I don't currently have any guns that are threaded for a suppressor. Can one retrofit a barrel or bushing so a suppressor can be attached?

This is a big reason there won't be a large rush for suppressors; very few guns are threaded for said appliance.

Yes to the first, not sure about the second. And, most ARs are threaded for a flash suppressor, and many .22s are threaded these days. And if suppressors come off the NFA list then I'd bet most firearms will either come with threaded barrels standard or it will be a popular option.

Drop-in threaded barrels are readily available for most common pistols. I will have to pickup drop-in barrels for my 1911 and my XDm-9 when my suppressors are ready for pickup.
Good luck and stand fast, true Patriots.

Never really understood that.
22s are the quiet-est firearms on earth. Why thread them?
Thread all the 12 gauges, I say.

Might want to hold onto those tax stamps until after the next Presidential election. If Trump keeps at it like this for the next four years, the voters will push hard Left in response...and hello again NFA business.

From what I've heard from the far left, they're thinking they'll regain the House and Senate in 2018. :roll:

One of them is particularly mad at me right now, but good taste prevents me from explaining why in a public forum. :lol:

I made the mistake of buying right after the trust change took effect so my paperwork got buried ibn the deluge of people trying to beat it. NFA jail since July.
I would immediately retrieve my property if this law change took effect.
Its not even the$200 i object to, even though i do, it's the glacially slow pace the atf nfa division has because there is no reason to be faster...in fact they want it slow to discourage people.

I agree, the tax is BS but, the long wait is just rude....

The pessimist in me says that the information will be "destroyed" - and by that I mean, put in with the other records they're not supposed to keep. :D
