Nothing could go wrong with this ruling....could it?

Anything is possible when the Powers That Be change.

Trying not to inject anything political into this thread, so lets look at it from a judicial viewpoint. Courts reverse rulings all the time.

Thought I would post the ATF FAQs. It provides some clarity on their current position….. there is still considerable risk of a change later and that causing issues……

Now this is interesting. I've put off a 300 blk build for a long time because of the sbr thing. I may or may not have purchased a few cans since this all came about, and decided to do a full length build just to avoid the sbr. After spending quite a bit of time researching and making decisions on what I was doing, now I might rethink this. Argh.

Just ordered a threaded barrel for one of my pistols to use as a house gun. Can TBD.

Has anyone dealt with Taylorsfirearms? I'm looking to purchase a high end reproduction of a 1873 Single Action revolver that is made by Uberti in Italy (owned by Beretta).

Taylor's & Co. are a very good company to deal with. Have no worries Matt,they will take care of you. Cimarron Arms is another reputable distributor for Uberti but may not have the high end model you are looking for but still worth a look. Budsgunshop.com for the lowest price.
But yeah, Taylor's & Co. are a single source for some Uberti models. I have a pair of Evil Roy's that I will be shooting this morning. Very nice tuned revolvers.

Sounds like Taylor’s & Co. have built a really solid reputation. Having a pair of Evil Roy revolvers must be a treat, especially if they’ve been professionally tuned. It’s always reassuring to hear good experiences from people who have actually dealt with these companies.

Ethan,
Welcome to SMF, glad you joined us.

Thanks for pointing out the other reputable distributors Colin. Turns out the wait at Taylors was going to be extensive and they didn't have any real knowledge of when my spec'd piece would show up. After spending some time on Cimarron's site I changed my mind on what I was looking for and actually settled on a single action 1873 with dual cylinders 45LC & 45ACP and they had one in stock.

Sounds like an AI response to me

A Wolff Reduced Power Spring Kit will make a big difference in that revolver and it's easy to install. Oh, and since we have you spending money, take a look at Arizona Custom gun grips.

Good choice schlotz!

Just had to share….it was 3rd place in our State Gun vote we just had…. And yes this was really on the ballot!!!

The more I think about it, the more I think you are right..........I just don't understand why.

Me either! Feel free to share more of your outings and shooting matches... it's interesting!

Here's the place we shoot. https://powdercreekcowboys.com/

Well, it was damn chilly this morning. We had sixteen shooters, enough for one big posse. Normally we have twice that many. I ended up ninth, right in the middle of the pack. I normally shoot a stage in the upper twenty second range. The fast guys do it in the mid to upper teens. That's pretty crazy considering a stage consists of ten rifle, ten pistol and four plus shotgun rounds.
I'll post a couple of pics in a bit.

With a couple of shooting buddies, I'm the guy on the right.

Lined up at the loading table. Man, it's a thing of beauty.

Hanging out at the Saloon.

I voted for the Peacemaker, but the Winchester 1873 would have been my second choice

Amidst the forest of campaign signs occupying every bit of available roadside this last election, I was tickled to see one hand lettered sign down the street from me: “Remington 700 for State Gun!”

Hmm... wouldn't know where to begin doing it myself, not to mention if special tools might be needed. I'll go look at the grips. Thanks!
