Hello. I shared My first ever firearm purchase about a month ago, and was doing some browsing and research for my next firearm purchase which will be a pistol.

I saw a listing for a used gen 5 Glock 17 for $375. Should I get that or wait and save for a Gen 6?

I'm not really planning on using it for EDC (I'm actually planning on getting an M&P Bodyguard for that.) Just as something to shoot.

EDIT: the used Gen 5 G17 appears to not be an MOS. As far as I can tell its not a V series. Is it still worth the price?

US Supreme Court upheld the same regulation last year.

This 2022 rule applies to gun kit and parts makers.

Aug 18 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas has declared that a regulation adopted by Democratic former President ‌Joe Biden's administration targeting largely untraceable "ghost guns" is unconstitutional — a ruling issued after the U.S. Supreme Court last year upheld the measure.

U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth ruled on Monday that the 2022 rule violates the right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment and was too vague to satisfy the Fifth Amendment's due process guarantees.

anyone around Richmond have one of these and would let me check it out? as far as I can tell they are in stock but before I get one (a second 9mm upper) I wanted to try one out or at least get an actual users feedback

Haven’t been able to find much on this but I see many people get digital notifications when their CHP is approved well before it arrives in the mail.

Was there a way I was supposed to opt in for some sort of notification or do they just send it out? I didn’t see anything on the application.

The ruling applies to certain short-barreled shotguns and rifles and suppressors. It also applies to a niche subset of firearms referred to by the federal government as "any other weapons." This is a catch-all for concealable, unique firearms that don't fall into other categories. They can include gadget guns, like pen guns or umbrella guns.

And Gun Owners of America said, some states may still require additional rules and firearm registration forms may still be required under the federal Gun Control Act.

But there is a push from gun rights groups and Republican lawmakers to get the DOJ to permanently apply this ruling nationwide.

In a statement, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the agency is still "processing forms and will continue to process forms consistent with applicable law, regulations, and agency policy."

Because of the legal murkiness, Pratt urges people to talk to an attorney before foregoing registration.

Like the Gun Owners of America, ATF says, "Anyone who has questions about how a court ruling may affect their particular circumstances should consult with their attorney for legal advice."

I really don’t know if this question has been asked here yet. I’m camping at a state park with my gf in VA Beach this weekend and wanted to bring my AR with me. I have a valid CCW and will be carrying my pistol. But was wondering if I’m able to have a loaded suppressed SBR with me while I car camp in a state park.

Looking for ranges in or around the Fredericksburg area, preferably something within 10 or 15 minutes. I've done some looking on google maps, and i know there is a big gun club to the south, but I hear it is almost impossible to get into if you don't have a sponsor. Indoor is fine, but would prefer outdoor.

Hey guys, looking for some recommendations for VA FFL/SOTs that are currently doing the new no-Form-4 suppressor transfers.
I’m in the Northern VA area, but I’m willing to drive a little if needed. I’m looking at picking up a CAT Street Crack and would like to use a shop that’s already familiar with the new Silencer Shop/PSA/GOA process.

If anyone has personally done one of these transfers recently, I’d appreciate hearing:
● What shop you used
● Location
● Transfer fee
● Whether they’re actually doing the no-Form-4 transfers
● Any membership or other requirements
● How the process went
Just trying to find a shop that’s already set up for this

As the title states, this is a megathread for the known Virginia FFLs that are participating in the NFA injunction for named plaintiffs (GOA, Silencer Shop, PSA, etc.)

Also, please post the general area the FFL is located as well as any special instructions they may have for obtaining previously restricted items.

Please stay on topic, off topic comments will be subjected to removal.

With love,

Not new to Reddit but new to this sub and hopefully you guys can steer me right!

TL;DR: My dad just passed along his small collection of shotguns and rifles to me and I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. There are a few I'm keeping for the sentimental value, a few I'm going to use, and a few I'm going to sell (and some I'm not sure what to do with).

Bought a safe for the collection (14 in total), found a guy to clean and inspect a couple I'm going to use first, and did some research on the value of the rest.

Can share more about what I have for anyone interested, but before I write that novel any suggestions on the best way to sell the ones I don't need?

Some of the ones I'm selling are not really worth that much, so the 20% from gunbroker plus the transfer fee wipes out anything I'd actually get for them, and the one dealer I kinda trust here in NOVA said private party is the way to go? Anywhere else I should be looking other than vaguntrader.com?

Green top will process without a form 4 if you are a GOA member. They mentioned you have to be a specific type of member that I didn't understand. I have the annual 25 dollar membership. Anyone have more info on what that means? they are also busy as fuuuickkkkkkkkk

I have uppers, lowers, etc but bought by maxing out my budget (not my credit card) and now I have no money for optics and flash lights. Am I alone.

Realistically, when do y’all think that 1 billion suppressors will get flooded into the market. And the price says on them will drop significantly. I’m still in college and have a significant monthly beer expense.

I have a hobby of building stuff. AKs, lots of them. Parts kits are so cool to me but I've also done a few virgin kits and they're nice too. Romanians, Yugos, RPKs, M70s, you name it. If you can buy it I've done it, pretty much lol. ARs and Glocks to a lesser extent. Just a hobby. Thinking about getting an 01/07 so I can build custom stuff for people. Just thinking of an on the side type thing like a lot of these guys do in their homes, garages etc. Let my hobby make some money lol.

Do you think it's worth it is it already too saturated?

I have been getting hit up for what my policy will be on Suppressors and SBRs. It is as follows:

I will transfer your suppressor to you using a 4473/SP-65 without a form 4 if you have a Gun Owners of America membership. I will simply require a copy of your card and if you don’t have your card yet, email me a screenshot of your membership with account number.

I will transfer your suppressor to you using a 4473/SP-65 without a form 4 if you purchases it directly from PSA, B&T or Silencer Shop.

As always the fee will be $10 unless you purchase through me. Then the fee is waived, but will require proof of GoA membership.

Please reach out if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to answer. Info@thebangshop.com
