Most Arfcomers reading this

can probably change the firing pin of their EBR in under 60 seconds. Around 30 seconds in many other cases.

I can't figure out why any of the gun manufacturers have stayed in the North East this long.

More CT madness, a serious attempt to out California California.

I can't even own a Colt by name here. Used to be the machining/ metal cutting capitol of the North east, now its a giant govt run slum. MOssberg, Marlin, Winchester, Ruger....gone or near gone. Me, ....near gone.

What does the redded part mean.

( I know redded isn't a word. I'm being cleaver.)

They probably specifically ban Colt AR-15 models by name. IIRC CA does the same.

Same here in the PRNJ..if it saus Specifically "Colt AR-15" on it...it's a Ebil Debil Baby-Killer gun.

I foresee swap meets. Every one gets together for a party, drops their firing pins in a big bowl, and when it's over just grab a firing pin on the way out the door. This Friday pizza, beer and AR-15 pins.

Thing is, the states that enact these asshat laws will ALSO make provisions for criminal charges for "Changing, Switching, or otherwise Altering a numbered part" or some such bullshit.

Here in Maryland ("Little Russia"), microstamping in handguns has been law for a while. My son acquired a Glock 19 recently, and a fired piece of brass is submitted to the State by the dealer before you pick it up. A murder in Texas was actually solved when a microstamped piece of brass at the crime scene was traced back to a Glock that was formerly a police issued firearm here. I'm not sure if the microstamping is actually on the striker or on the face of the bolt, but I find this big brother practice to be a bit disconcerting to say the least.

BULLSHIT. LINKS OR BS.

This seems like an easy way for criminals to throw law enforcement off their trail (leave public range brass at the scene of the crime)

Not microstamping. That's just matching brass or fired bullet's rifling marks to a recovered or catalogged gun.

You had better double check because I'm pretty damn sure if it were true this wouldn't be the first time it was ever mentioned in the General Discussion.

I wonder why nobody cares about Maryland?

Ah that makes sense because it's very likely that the technology patent will prevent others from doing this.

So you have to submit fired brass with every handgun you buy in Maryland? You can keep that shit thanks.

Governor Cuomo got rid of CoBIS (Combined Ballistics Identification System) this past March. It was based off the Maryland system and after 12+ years @ $4,000000 per year never solved a single crime. (yes, New York actually removed an anti-gun law)

Now, the same knuckleheads in the State government want to push forward with microstamping even though it has all the same weaknesses plus the replacement parts issue.

No wonder New York is broke.

Fox News is reporting that Colt and Remington are threatening to move their manufacturing to western states if NY and Connecticut...

I think all manufacturers should leave the unfriendly states they are in

There is no micro-stamping law in Maryland. The requirement for spent brass for newly sold handguns is an attempt to log identifying marks specific to each and every firing pin, but is not micro-stamping.

The only state to enact true micro-stamping into law is California but the law is "on-hold" whatever that means.

I left California two years ago and I always thought that I would go back....

My rough firing pin was causing pierced primers with these max loads so I polished it.

My bad! I'll try to research the Baltimore Sun article. It could be that it was a previously fired "non-microstamped" piece of brass, but the article was about microstamping and I may have misunderstood the specifics of how the murder was solved. Sorry guy's.
