Turk, did you ever get a chance to wring out the Sandstorm?
I should be about 30 days out on the paperwork for my Quicksand. I have a .308 bolt gun, Noveske N6, Springfield M1A already with the Bi locks attached. Need to send in my Shilen 6.5 Grendel barrel to get it re-threaded and bi-locked and I'm ready to go. All I need now is a 30"X30" piece of AR 500 and I'll head up to Thompson pass and stretch em out W/O ears!!

Can't wait, I'm like a six year old at christmas!

Until that day,

Dude, I'm completely embarrassed to admit that I haven't shot it yet...  It's been sitting on the shelf for months now.  With Kulis closing, moving to Elmendorf, trips to Eielson, Snowmachining (as the snow has been awesome in P-ville) I just haven't had time to get out.  However, I'm going to try to actually get out to B-wood this weekend and finally shoot it.

Oh man, I can't believe that! All that expensive Titanium laying around and not being used. Maybe you should just loan it to me and I'll break it in for ya.

I'm thinking about coming up to Birchwood for the Carbine/shotgun match. What day might you be there? Maybe I can hear it for myself?

Not sure... tentative plans at best.  When are you going to be there?  I'm sure my weekend plans are far more flexible..

You didn't miss anything... my daughter wanted to go ice skating, so I didn't make it out that way.  She has me wrapped around her finger.


Had I been there, I would have come found you guys.  Sounds like the match was fun... hopefully I can shoot in the next one.

Turk,
I'm picking up the Quicksand on Saturday and will be at the Birchwood shoot on Sunday. I'm going to wring out the can on my AR10 and 5R after the shoot. You should bring your sandstorm out and run it.

You guys are making me really jealous with your cans.  I'm scared of paperwork, but is it really that bad?





Can AK tactical walk me through it if I show up and say "I want to buy a suppressor"?

It's really not hard at all. Basically the same questions that are one the 4473. Double sided forms done in duplicate. Quicker with a trust instead of going the BS APD route

The BS APD route wasn't even that bad... that is, until they added the $150 fine for the Chief's signature.  My next can will be on a Trust.

Thats one of the things. But it sounds like they are trying to do away with the fee. Still don't care for the interview or the questionair packet.
