Has anyone else seen this from the ATF director? Does this apply to trusts? I have several pending form 1’s filed with a trust and a VA RP. None were approved yet. With the injunction I still think we have time though. I guess we also don’t know for sure what it means until the law goes into effect. “Making” is different than “manufacturing” after all.
So I have suppressors, I have SBRs, and now I am thinking of getting into destructive devices. I am looking into getting into some indirect fire (mortars) and direct fire (20mm, 25mm) stuff in the future. I have heard that DDs are where you go when you like to tinker and tinkering is one of my favorite parts of the gun hobby. I also heard that DD’s are great for people who like machining. I have a few college level machining and manufacturing classes under my belt so I am also interested in getting into that. I have some questions for those with experience.
Where would you start when it comes to DDs (not 40mm if possible)?
What is the ammunition reloading process like? Do you manufacture your own dies and presses?
Where do you source pressure bearing parts like barrels / receivers? If you make your own what is your process for proofing them so you don’t blow your face off?
Does anyone out there work with 25x137, or other comparable rounds?
I would love to see some stuff that is not just holding suppressors in cars :).
Thanks for your help!
