i posted this over in the ar forum but it gets about 1/20th of the traffic the gd does and i thought this might be good news for anyone wanting to do some work on their weps...
i sent the below letter to the batfe back in oct and got my response last month. i've attached (poor, i know) scans of the letter for your review (it IS signed).
  so, what i'm reading here is that i'm good to go on changing anything i want with the exception of the serial number (that's untouchable!). one thing that was brought up is that you wanna check your local laws before making changes. enjoy!

I hope you never intend to sell it though. Its called humping in the garand world and is generally frowned upon.

hardcorps1775: Why make things anymore difficult for yourself. Guns are for shooting and not a beauty contest. Take them out to the range and run thru the paces, and take them home and clean them and put them back into your safe.

You know, now that you sent them that letter you're on their "persons of interest" to watch list?

 What's next, are you going to 'distress' the finish on it too? |

Kind of silly to do all that to a semi rifle

oh fuck yeah! get me some fine red dirt to sprinkle on it, put in some highlights, all that... no, it just seemed like a cool idea at the time, just for shits and grins. god knows i ain't got the scratch for the real thing! i did want to get the info out there though. some folks want to put combloc markings on their ak's, others want to get rid of silly ass trademarks like stags or snakes, some want to mark the caliber 5.56mm instead of .223, etc. now they know they can without fear of the men in black. |
