on my answering machine tonight.  Firearms Technology Branch.  I sent off a letter about 6 weeks ago about building an AR pistol and the requirements and such.  Just a CYA.  I've always just gotten a letter back to my inquiries explaining the answer to my question.  They want me to call them back.  Is this common?

that's so they know when you're home so they can come and get you.

They want to know what ammo you are going to use so they can ban it as AP.

I'm guessing then that it's just a friendly chat about my issue?

Better to call them, then for them to ask you to stop by  to answer some questions.

I've had phone conversations with the ATF and it's always gone well. Most likely they have follow-up questions or they didn't fully understand something in your letter.

Everytime I have called with a question they have been very helpful. I'ts not the people that contact them they worry about it's the other 99% that don't.

I received a letter from the BATF recently answering some questions I had. They have never tried to reach me via the telephone.

Geebus Croist, half this board would have bugged out by now.



ATF Agent:  "Umm, case # 3442721 just called back and said 'Get some!' and hung up... whats protocol for that?"

Return the phone call, most likely who ever is looking at the letter just needs something clarified.

Nah.  Call from Ian187's house.

The guys who clarify for a living are your friends, but the enforcement visitors have a very different attitude. Call them back since they prob just have a follow up question about how you wrote something.

I've tried calling, I keep getting a message saying due to the high volume of calls, they are unable to take my call at this time.

Dan,

Let me know if you need me to hold on to your Toys while your gone   , I think it will be a followup and maybe they can explain better then by letter.

I just laughed so hard my cubicle neighbors came over to see what was so funny.

I think this may have to be a sigline!

With the AWB gone,  doesn't the 50 ounce limit on pistols no longer apply?


It's one part of the ban I never paid much attention to as I never wanted an AR pistol.
