A guy I am acquainted with via another ARFCOMMER just posted this elsewhere, and it made my heart happy:
"So no shit, I just spent 90 minutes here at the gunshow with an ATF Special Agent and 3 members of the Houston Police Department's bomb squad; explaining to them that despite their certainly that pipebombs are always illegal, they are indeed legal if registered under the NFA. Of course none of my supposed noble comrades Tom, Simon, or Matthw bothered to take a picture, thanks a lot you blue falcons. Aside from one HPD guy who got all worked up, and told me I'm going to jail, and said he's going to get a warrant to search my house and business premises; everyone else gave me the dick-on-forehead look, but was pretty chill. After an hour of calling everyone they could, apparently they got a hold of the HMFIC at NFA branch on the weekend and he told them that yes, you can legally register a pipebomb as a Destructive Device. After they all took pictures of my pipebombs and claymore, we all laughed that it was pretty funny, shook hands, and went our separate ways. Texas Machine Gun & Ordnance's first gunshow to ever be at, and we get all kinds of attention from the po-po." Pure. Winning. |

Funny to us but wait till the liberal media finds out or someone sends them a pic of that booth. These people already think you can buy full auto and just walk out of fun shows with whatever you want no questions asked. Wait until they see pipe bombs and cocktails for sale. Legal or not these fuckin ghouls will be frothing at the mouth to report it.

That doesn't sound like fun
Buy and register a destructive device , blow up pipe bomb, submit more paperwork. |

Sounds like a great marketing strategy to get traffic to your table at your first gunshow. I would bet the whole thing was just a marketing gimmick that worked out great lol

They've got pictures and supposedly videos (I didn't look for them) of them blowing stuff up w/ pipebombs. |

Somethings just shouldn't be easily seen by the public. Legal yes. Not flaunted. And the suicide vest is a bit much. |

So lemme get this straight....I'm supposed to pay him $150 for some threaded pipe and end caps, then Form 1 it into a pipe bomb. FORM 1?
Interesting business concept. |

View Quote That's why I pretty much think the pipebomb receiver, suicide vest, and tupperware claymore are just marketing gimmicks to get them attention. It obviously worked. Most of us would have never even heard of this company if they didn't do this. |

I have thought about Form 1'ing one myself. My guess is having a metal band around the top with a serial number is the best way to go. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
