And that shows them who would attempt to assemble an arm without paying the Federal Excise Tax - so there may definitely be a "tax enforcement" spin on things. <BR/> But bare receivers to be assembled before the ban? There is nothing stopping anyone from stripping down a rifle, building one on the new receiver, then stripping it down again.... In fact you could be ultra cool about it and build them as pistols for their first assembly, so you can rebuild as pistols or rifles later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596231821271459872.post-14625727232828432512009-01-03T07:12:00.000-05:002009-01-03T07:12:00.000-05:00"I mean, I can imagine the "Okay, honey, I'm off t...<I>"I mean, I can imagine the "Okay, honey, I'm off to go meet an armed shaved-head biker dude I met on the internet" might not go over too well with some folks...) :)"</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah that would be a problem 'cause all the armed biker dudes that we hang around with have hair :()<BR/><BR/>I'll pass along the invite - I'm sure he would be interested too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596231821271459872.post-62092914220668709112009-01-03T04:44:00.000-05:002009-01-03T04:44:00.000-05:00Good post.JamesGood post.<BR/><BR/>JamesJames R.
