| I've got two 5in 223 dedicated cans in with Nick now. My form 1s should be coming back any day. This will be can number two and three he has done for me. I simply will not use anyone else no matter the time frame. His communication, workmanship and professionalism is second to none. As some have stated above, I hope he make a fortune and he and his wife enjoy their working relationship. All positive feedback on my end brother. If anyone is hesitant, just freakin do it. I'm en route to probably another three of four cans this year. End goal, dedicated can for each host lol. |
Some videos of the latest 9mm can on a couple Glocks:

@MSUbulldog21 - Can sounds great!! |

This is garnering my interest, and it seems like ECCO does some great work.
But I can’t find a website that I can really figure out anywhere. Is there somewhere that I can look through what options he offers, and pricing so I can figure out what I want to do and start saving? |

It must retain the original F1 length in full configuration. |

We must charge Trump with obstruction because we feel that he attempted to obstruct our attempt to obstruct his presidency and remove him from office with our fraudulent Russian collusion.

Im being serious. Pay $200 and build it whenever. US v Thompson-Center Arms was a US Supreme Court case from back in the 90s, but it came down to the Court telling the ATF that if you had a legal use for all the parts in your possession, even if an illegal use could also be surmised, the legal use must be assumed. TC was selling a kit that contained a short barrel, a pistol grip, a long barrel, a rifle stock, and a Contender frame, with the stock engraved with a warning to not use it with the short barrel, ATF objected, so they registered it as an SBR and sued to get their $200 back as it wasn't legally an SBR. The ruling is here, and a good quote: Two courts to our knowledge have dealt in some way with claims that when a [non-NFA] gun other than a [NFA] firearm was placed together with a further part or parts that would have no use in association with the gun except to convert it into a firearm, a firearm was produced. See US v Kokin (carbine together with all parts necessary to convert it into a machine gun is a machine gun); see also US v Zeidman (pistol and attachable shoulder stock found "in different drawers of the same dresser" constitute a short-barreled rifle) Here it is true, of course, that some of the parts could be used without ever assembling a firearm, but the likelihood of that is belied by the utter uselessness of placing the converting parts with the others except for just such a conversion. Where the evidence in a given case supports a finding of such uselessness, the case falls within the fair intendment of "otherwise producing a firearm." Here, however, we are not dealing with an aggregation of parts that can serve no useful prupose except the assembly of a firearm, or with an aggregation having no ostensible utility except to convert a gun into such a weapon.

Can I wait a few years...? A lot of people thing you can only make it shorter, but that’s based on a repair Q&A. I have a copy of an email somewhere but can’t find it right now, where the Director said the length on the Form 1 is your best guess. If it ends up being longer or shorter you can let them know. I think somebody here did the same thing with caliber, but can’t remember. There’s no timeline I know of. But you can ask for a refund up to three years after you paid the tax, if you never get around to making it. |

Control No. 2019652325 Date of Approval 11/14/2019 Length to be amended to 9" Thank you, Mr. Jon Hancock -sign here in ink- You can scan and email, fax, or snail mail. |

I'm mildly concerned that I'll have a Form1 with length 8" and a can with length 10" … do you just keep the amendment form with the Form1? What email address? TIA!!!! |

Oddly enough they fit into a buffer tube nicely:

My apologies, I jumped the gun and thought you were referring to Form 1 cans in general and their quick wait time as opposed to F4 cans. I’ve had quite a few “discussions” lately regarding F1 vs F4 and the supposed lack of quality with home made cans. |

I’m down to a race now between my Form 1 job Nick is doing or my GSL Phoenix stamp showing up. [insert Oak Island Narrator voice] Will Nick finish and return first? Or will the ATF get my Form 4 that is approved mailed to my FFL first? Or will the governor of SC shut us down so I can’t drive 85 miles to go pick it up first? Could. It. Be??  About to have two silencers show up and now I don’t want to burn ammo......

I’m getting close to having this F4 approved and am wondering if ATF will be shutting down along with the post office

I purchased 2000 rds of S&B subs to break in my SP5 just before the panic and now I'm torn between hanging onto them or quadrupling my money. I got them from my FFL at a real great price. |
