What gun did you buy today?

[hoothrewpoo]

It has a stock, it's an SBR.

Just bought this today! Anyone know if it's okay to dry fire a s&w revolver?

Beautiful piece.
A modest amount of dry fire is fine. Best to get some snap caps tho. A-Zoom are great.
Get a few speed loaders too. Good to practice with.

Yes, it's safe to dry fire modern centerfire S&W revolvers.

It could just as easily be a pistol with a stock, as an SBR, no?

It started life as a pistol. You can see just above the hand grip I blacked out most of my trust name. I did leave trust so everyone would know lol
Now it is a SBR

SBR or pistol??

 

[Shady]

No a pistol with a stock is a legal or illegal SBR

Then if I were to put a stock on my AR pistol, it becomes an SBR?

Thanks. Couldn't tell if the stock was a different kind of brace.

SBR sounds like fun.

Yes. If you don't register it you're a felon. According to some if you shoulder a pistol with a brace the ATF could interpret that as an SBR.

That's according to a letter sent out by the ATF. In their opinion, if you shoulder a Sig brace it's no longer being used for its intended purpose and the pistol immediately becomes an SBR.

You really had to ask that after all the conversations we had about your AR pistol and brace? Lol

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I know all the stuff that would be illegal.
I just didn't think that adding a stock to a revolver would make it a rifle.

But you asked about adding a stock to your AR pistol...

Sure, but it just seems even weirder to think that a revolver would become a rifle.
It would be the same after all.

Yep, it would.

Pretty sure there Rossi makes a .410/45LC revolver rifle. Or might be someone else. I think it's Rossi though.

I only mentioned the revolver/rifle because one of the individuals on a an Alaskan TV series broke her shoulder, and had a stock fabricated for a revolver.
Evidently their gun laws are quite a bit different from ours, there was no mention of a tax stamp being required for that or suppressors either.

 

[hoothrewpoo]

Same Federal regulations (NFA) apply in AK. Probably just the magic of TV.

No. Alaska is the same as the rest of the US because This is a federal law. What you saw was a very carefully scripted scene. She had the pistol registered as a SBR and had a stock made to fit her. They just don't tell you in so many words but it's there all the same. People could watch, get confused and commit a felony. Its criminally Bad TV producing if you ask me.

Well, on the show, she just took it somewhere and had it fabricated.
Since there was no mention of waiting, or a tax stamp, I presumed things were different somehow.

So this might be FAKE NEWS????
I think I 'feel triggered'.

I need my safe place to drink a Bourbon, clean my newly acquired Remington 11-48 28 Gauge and load some ammo to calm down.

P.S. I bought a 1953 Remington Model 11-48 in 28 Gauge today from a good customer. It came with a case of #8 target ammo.
