Manually Operated Belt Fed .22
Tippmann .22lr gatling
Belt fed, manual crank operation
The belts will obviously be banned. As far as i can tell, the gun will also be banned, because, despite being manually operated, it is belt fed. Am I interpreting that right?
My first 22
I need to buy a 22 rifle before July 1st because Gov. Scamburger sucks ass and is ruining Virginia. I want to get 2 rifles for myself and kids. I’m looking at the Ruger 10/22 style and M&P AR style. I’m a buy once cry once type of consumer. I have pistols and ARs, but no 22s. What should I get?
Making magazines after July 1
You guys will be able to make your own magazines after July 1. These are the banned action nothing about making magazines.

Spanberger - the best 2A salesperson in the last decade
I’ll be honest, I fell victim to panic buying. I have magazines for guns i dont even have right now. Regret? Nah. Even if this all gets struck down, I won’t be mad.
For the ATF agent watching my burner account, this is *all* the magazines. Theres no more. Definitely no more. I definitely don’t have another storage tote.

What are our options gonna be for semi auto rifles after July 1?
I'm thinking it's mainly the Ruger Mini Series. But I don't even know if you can get 15 round mags for them? I know it's like 5, 10, 20, 30. Gonna be bleak for awhile.
Everything is going to be illegal but training is still on the menu.
We've been asked a number of times now what's going to happen with training opportunities here in Virginia, and as far as we can see, we're going to be around until someone makes us stop.
With all the panic buying, now's a great time to learn how to run your gun or even try out a new sport. To that end, we've got the following coming up:
2-Gun Competition Skills - May 30/31 - Ever want to shoot a 2 gun match or just do well at one? Well boy, do we have a class for you. 2 days of running through competition skills and drills with pistol and rifle, running stages, learning the basics of stage planning, efficient movement, and mental management. It's going to be fun.
Tactical Athlete Performance Clinic - June 6/7 - Tactical Games competitor extraordinaire Zac is going to work you like a dog and then make you shoot guns. If exercising in kit is your jam, this is basically that but more educational. (This is a good class. I'm just salty because Zac calls me fat)
Advanced Application of Carbine Fundamentals - June 20 - Hit what you're aiming at every time. Performance on demand is the cornerstone of being good at gun. We will show you why you're bad and then we will fix you: Carbine edition.

Effect of magazine capacity limits on new (future) competition shooters?
So, what effect is Virginia's magazine capacity limit going to have on future competition shooters (Virginians buying a gun and magazines after July 1)?
Do shooting sports organizations typically have some categories or divisions or whatever that limit all included competitors to magazines with a number of rounds corresponding to typical state limits?
Or would people from low-limit states just be at disadvantage, having to do more magazine changes?
Christmas in May?
A couple last minute purchases before the July 1st fiasco that's quickly approaching. My credit card hates me now but oh well.
Recommendations on last rifles and handguns before unconstitutional ban
I already own a few rifles AR15, AR15 pistol, AR10 in 308. A few handguns Sig 365 xmacro tacops, m&p shield plus, Beretta 92x Performance Carry, Ruger Blackhawk.
I can't decide what to get as my final purchases. I'm aware some of these won't be banned, but I've convinced my wife to not complain about my purchases before the ban. Here is what I've been considering
- 9mm PCC something like PSA AR-V
- HK P30SK / HK VP9CC
- Ruger 10/22 with a threaded barrel
- Beretta A300
- Open to any suggestions
I'm trying to stay away from AKs or something silly like the p90. Trying to limit my ammo to 556, 308, 9mm, and 22lr.
Response from IPB in Re: VA stuff after 7/1.
I had a form 1 submission that got denied due to a clerical error on my part. I resubmitted last night and I reached out to my congressman to see if they had any pull to expedite Virginia submissions.
A staffer got back to me this morning, and he gave me some direction on things to email the ATF about and ask, hoping to create enough of a question of doubt that they would speed up Virginia applications. Long shot I know.
Anyhow, I emailed them and this is the response I got back. So it sounds like even the ATF doesn't know what they're going to do after July 1st.
On the bright side, they must have taken pity on me for waiting 72 days to find out that I fucked up my original submission. I resubmitted yesterday about noon, and I just got an approval right at 24 hours later.
Another VA tribute receiver
Got this one done up custum by Bad Attitude Dept. Early M16A1 receiver motif, with a tweak to the VA state seal instead of the Colt Pony. Huge shout out to u/BadAttitudeDept for excellent work. My third receiver from them so far.
The engraving is not as bold or deep as I expected, so need to figure out best options for painting.
Building AR-10
Could anyone give me advice on building an AR-10? I know parts wise they arent as compatible compared to AR-15s. I was looking at just grabbing a PSA AR-10 lower but their description says they only recommend to use PSA uppers. Has anyone built an AR-10 using a PSA lower and a non PSA upper?
Seeking Advice Before July 1st Ban
This is my current load out. Up until a month ago I only owned handguns. I’ve expanded in some areas and want to know if there’s anything you guys would add.
Guns that I’m interested in at the moment
- DD PDW 300 BLK
- Geissele Super Duty… if Super Duty, which size should I get based off what I already own?
- Ruger 10/22 Carbon Fiber…. Not sure if these are going to be banned or not.
- one more nice pistol like a CZ Shadow 2
- Stribog PCC
Let me know what you think! Before anything is said about mags, trust me I going to be get an adequate amount for everything. My budget permits me to get the Ruger for sure and one more nice gun but not everything so curious on others thoughts. I feel like I have my home defense situations covered now I’m looking into range toys / guns to enjoy owning and shooting.

SBR Form 4 trust deadline
Hello all, I have one SBR form 4 to a trust submitted on 5/11. Hopefully that will be approved soon.
However I purchased another SBR but it hasn’t shipped yet. It should be heading out soon. My question is what happens if the Form 4 isn’t approved by July 1st? Am I just SOL and have to return the SBR to the seller? And what if they refuse to take it back?
There’s still about 40 days left but the Form 4 to trusts seems to be taking longer and longer, even the efile (which I’m doing) is taking longer than the paper version for trusts according to the ATF wait times. I’m starting to get a little nervous between waiting for delivery, the FFL filing the form, and waiting for the ATF.
A PSA about PSA Magazine Sales to MD residents (in-store)
I was traveling south on i95 and stopped at the PSA store in Florence SC. Picked up two 15rd magazines and a 10rd - Proceeded to the cashier.
Cashier asked me for my ID, to which I presented it. She then said "Maryland, oh boy" - Looked at a sheet and said, "I can only sell you 10 round capacity magazines because you have a magazine restriction". To which I laughed, and asked if she was serious, unfortunately she was. I didn't argue or debate it, I just wrote them off immediately as Anti-2A.
PSA will never see me as a customer again, just a heads up for MD residence hoping to get magazines.
*Edit* - Take note of the multiple replies in this thread of those who have been denied a magazine sale in person at a PSA retail store. Do with that as you wish, I hope you spend your money elsewhere.
Advice on Carry & Range Choices
Hey, due to the laws passing, I’ve decided to get something to carry, as well as something fun to shoot at the range and use for home defense.
I wanted to post here to get some advice.
I currently run an CZ P01 and was planning to use it for carry but find it heavy and to he honest it doesn’t fit well in my hands.
For carry I plan to look into the P365, HK CC9, and maybe the G43X.
For the fun range / bed, I was thinking of saying fuck it and getting some sort of entry level Staccato, like the P or the C2. My other option would be the CZ Shadow 2 as I’ve hears good things about it. I’ve personally never shot something nice as either as these, so I feel like if I’m going to shell out this kind of money, I’d want to get something thats very reliable, accurate, and not have much recoil to make it fun. I also saw people mention the platypus or DWX as well.
I’m also looking for a PCC, and considering the PSA AK-V, the MCX, or something that has or has something similar to the hk slap.
I’d like you hear your recs, and once I get them I will hopefully find a store near me to let me rent and test them before I buy. I’ll be in the fairfax area.
Thanks
