Firearm Forum Question: What Kind of Leather Conditioner to Use on Rifle Slings and Holsters

Ask A Firearms Question:

What kind of Leather Conditioner should I Use on my Rifle Slings and Holsters?

Thank you Betty the Boop.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

The best product to use is Virgin Olive Oil.
Reason, Olive Oil does not contain water. Many leather conditioners contain water.
Water inhibits rust and corrosion.
Simply apply, let stand for 15 minutes, wipe excess off.
I recommend applying the Virgin Olive Oil to all your leather slings and holsters every 6-months.
You can apply the olive oil to the inside of a holster, it will also help keep moisture off the handgun.

Commentary -

Although there is a lot of hype about leather conditioners Virgin Olive Oil is all natural and will not harm either the sling, holster, or firearm.

==> My recommendation is -
Virgin Olive Oil for all your Firearm Leather Accessories.

Firearm Forum Question: Understanding The Gun Control Issues, an Overview

Ask A Firearms Question:

I am having problems with this whole Gun Ownership Debate. Can you please sum up what the hell is going on with my 2nd Amendment and these so-called Gun Rights issues?

Thank you Charles (Charlie) Everett Rhodes.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

I will try.

First it is important to forget what bill is introduced in Congress for the simple reason we have 3 individual but distinct branches of the government:
The Congress (U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate); The President (White House); and Judicial (Federal Courts).

In Congress bills are introduced either by the Senate or the House. If one has something different then a caucus is held between the 2 houses to come up with a final bill. Sometimes, one may pass a bill but it must go to the other for approval. If both houses in Congress approve a final version of the bill, then goes to the President for approval and signature. It then becomes the law of the land until a Federal Court determines otherwise.

Now onto the general outline of the Gun Control Issues:
The two major parties (Democrats and Republicans) seriously differ on Gun Control.
Basically the Democrats want the following passed into legislation and they are not willing to compromise on their issues, thus we get deadlock and nothing passed.

At issue are the following items -

1) The Democrats want the Assault Rifle Ban back with even stricter provisions. This would prevent, in most cases, items such as an AR15 or AK-47 sale.

2) The Democrats want to limit the size of Magazines for any weapon to a maximum of 10-rounds.

3) The Democrats want to ban anyone on the Terrorist Watch List and/or the No-Fly List to purchase a firearm of any type. The Republicans oppose this primarily because they say some people get on the list and don't belong there. The Republicans want a person on any LIST to have the right to a hearing by a Federal Magistrate or Judge to get their name off the list. Democrats have opposed this even though some members of Congress have been placed on the No Fly List.

4) The Democrats want to make it mandatory that ALL Gun Sales must have a background check. Simply this closes the loop hole on gun sales at Gun Shows and Online Sales. The primary problem with this is it prevents a person from selling their own privately owned firearm to another person. It also may be interpreted by the courts that you cannot inherit a firearm without a background check.

=> Most Republicans with help from the NRA (National Rifle Association), and GOA (Gun Owners of America) oppose these changes.

Note: To get a bill passed requires 60 votes in the U.S. Senate. This again is why the 2016 Presidential Election is so important. Hillary Clinton supports everyone of these measures, while Donald Trump opposes most of them.

=== > This posting is NOT a Legal Opinion nor does it claim to cover or explain all the Gun Issues facing America today.

Caution Readers: When viewing Internet sites such as Yahoo News and Google News -or- Listening to News Broadcast on the TV, be aware that almost every broadcast from CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News is tainted mostly leaning toward a Liberal agenda. Newscasters today cannot report the NEWS accurately they must slant it in their favor. Some of these news casts are outright lies and fabrications. One of the problems with sites like Yahoo News is they pick up news from other sites and published it without checking the content or accuracy.

Firearm Forum Question: Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Case on Firearms, a Win for Anti-Gun Supporters

Ask A Firearms Question:

Can you share any information on the recent Supreme Court ruling banning certain types of weapons including assault rifles?

Thank you Benjamin R. Suncrest.

Published for Readers Information and Content Only
Not a Legal Opinion

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

The U.S. Supreme Court, currently short one judge, ruled on Monday, June 20, 2016, in a split decision 4-4 that they would NOT hear an appeals case banning Assault Weapons passed in Connecticut and New York.
This puts a serious blow to Gun Owners.
It allows the laws passed in Connecticut and New York to stand, at least for now.

This decision comes just after the Orlando shootings by an ISIS follower and born U.S. Radicalized Muslim.

The Connecticut weapons (gun) ban was passed after the Sandy Hook Shootings by Governor Dannel Malloy in April 2013. Expanding on an earlier assault weapons ban in the state, it banned more than 100 types of firearms along with magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a similar ban in New York.

This is a serious blow to Gun Owners and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, The Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Anti-Gun Liberal loons are just thrilled with themselves. President Obama said. "This is a start but does not go far enough."

Not covered in the news, it does, however, support the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution concerning States Rights.

IMPORTANT: This is why this years presidential election is so damn important. If you are a Gun owner or plan on becoming a Gun Owner or someone in you family is a Gun owner you cannot allow Hillary Clinton to become President of the United States.
Reason: The next president will be appointing new judges, possible as many as 3 to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The democrat agent is to abolish the 2nd Amendment and take away everyone's guns, regardless of what they say. There methodology is to slowly erode your gun rights, and they have been very successful since 1928. In short, Liberals never pass up the opportunity to create havoc among voters by using a tragedy to expand their Liberal agenda.
The First Amendment gives us the Right to Free Speech and Religion, but remember the Second Amendment insures the First and all others cannot be taken away by an out of control government.

Firearm Forum Question: Alternative Method to Purchasing or Owning a NFA Weapon

Ask A Firearms Question:

It has come to my attention that a person does not have to purchase an NFA weapon from a Licensed FFL but can in fact build their own, is this true? I am considering building my own Suppressor.

Thank you Johnny Come Lately.

Published for Readers Information and Content Only

Not a Legal Opinion

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

Yes and No, depends on the weapon or device.

But to your specific question about Suppressors, at the moment, Yes, you can build your own but you will need the approval from the BATF/ATF first, and still pay the $200.00 Tax Stamp.

Be careful, you cannot build the suppressor or weapon first, then get approval, You must submit on ATF Form 1 a request to build the device. A simple sketch must be submitted. When approval is granted, you can then build the weapon or device according to your sketch, specifications, and parts list. When approved, you will receive a Federal Tax Stamp, that you sent a money order for $200.00 with Form 1 and your sketch.

Form 1 can be filed as an Individual, Gun Trust, LLC, or Corporation.

Here is the LINK to the ATF Form 1 online:

https://www.atf.gov/file/11281/download

Form 1 also includes AOW, any other weapon.

Example: You modified a shotgun or rifle that the barrel and/or overall length is less than permitted. You can fill out a Form 1 and pay the $200.00 Tax Stamp.

Important: If the device does not work, you can not build another device without another submittal and an additional $200.00 for a new Tax Stamp. If you are NOT sure what you are doing, avoid this, at minimum contact the ATF and ask any questions before you start.

Very Important: It is illegal to own a Machine Gun or Machine Pistol (fully automatic weapon). These require a special FFL License and a Tax Stamp for each item.

Also, see this LINK about Suppressors -

http://askafirearmsquestion.blogspot.com/2015/02/firearm-forum-question-what-you-need-to.html

Commentary -

If you have a question on an AOW, Suppressor, or any of the Forms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 do not hesitate to call the local ATF office for guidance.

==> My recommendation on Building a NEW Suppressor is -
to Avoid this, just buy a Manufactured Suppressor through a Licensed FFL in your area.

Firearm Forum Question: BATF, Rule Change, Application for a Suppressor

Ask A Firearms Question:
Can you shed some light on the NEW rules for acquiring a Suppressor?
Thank you Leroy Jenkins.

Disclaimer:

This is a helpful outline for anyone who is thinking of Purchasing a New Suppressor (Silencer). It is NOT intended to act as a Legal Document, but is published for Information Purposes only.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Yes the rules for ownership have changed and will take effect July 13, 2016.
These rules are governed by the BATF
(ATF: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Bureau of Homeland Security). The agency regulates firearms and monitor and change rules for ownership of certain types of Firearms, Weapons, and Accessories which include Suppressors.

The Rule Change is referred to as - ATF 41f (previously known as Rule 41P).
Here is essentially the overall layout of the new 41f Rule ...

What is ATF Rule 41f ?

ATF Rule 41f is the final regulatory rule signed by the Obama administration on January 4, 2016 regarding the transfer and manufacture of weapons regulated by the National Firearms Act. The initial proposed rule (Rule 41P) proposed adding a new definition of a "responsible person" to the regulations and would have required all responsible persons in any entity used to purchase or manufacture NFA weapons to obtain the signature of their Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO signature) on the application, as well as submit fingerprints, and 2 photographs for review by ATF examiners.

Major Change: Entities, such as Gun Trusts, LLCs and Corporations, have become a popular mechaism for acquiring NFA weapons because individuals experienced difficulty in obtaining the CLEO signature in many areas of the United States. At times it was outright impossible, therefore, the use of an entity to acquire such weapons did not previously require the applicant to obtain the CLEO signature.

ATF Rule 41f is the Obama administration's final version of the proposed rule and will have a substantial impact on the use of Gun Trusts and other legal documents in the purchase and sharing of NFA weapons, which include Suppressors.

When does Rule 41f go into effect:

The effective date of the rule will be 180 days from the date that it is published in the Federal Register, which was January 15, 2016. That makes it effective July 13, 2016. All paperwork that was submitted to the NFA Branch for processing prior to July 13, 2016 will be processed under the former rules.

Note: If your paperwork is received by midnight July 13, 2016 it will be processed under the old rule. You should send all documents to the ATF by Priority Mail with a tracking number.

What to anticipate -

There is all ready a huge rush by applicants of 'Suppressors' to get a Form 4 submitted to the ATF before the deadline. Manufacturers have had problems keeping up with demand. Even if you get your paperwork submitted before the deadline expect a long response time before approval, probably at least 6-months.

ATF Form 4 -

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/form/form-4-application-tax-paid-transfer-and-registration-firearm-atf-form-53204/download

Current Problems that affect the purchase of a Suppressor or other weapons that require a $200.00 Tax Stamp and approval from the BATF.

1) You must purchase a Suppressor from a licensed FFL (Federal Firearms Licensed) Dealer.

2) The FFL must acquire these Suppressors from either the manufacturer, i.e Gemtech, Yankee Hill, etc. or their licensed distributor. The FFL must fill out Form 2 and the ATF must approve the transfer and sale from the manufacturer to the local licensed FFL. This is currently taking approximately 3 months.

ATF Form 2 -

https://www.atf.gov/file/61531/download

3) If a dealer needs 3 months approval before they get the suppressor to sell you, the July 13, 2016 date will expire.

This is why, if you want to purchase a Suppressor or other Form 4 Weapon, you should acquire one from a licensed FFL in your immediate area that have the item you want in stock, good luck on that.

IMPORTANT: If you have any questions, please contact the ATF directly.

This page is merely a guideline and not a legal definition of any government rule, regulation, or law.

Also, see this LINK about Suppressors -

http://askafirearmsquestion.blogspot.com/2015/02/firearm-forum-question-what-you-need-to.html

Commentary -

If you have not all ready sent in your application for a suppressor, it probably is best that you wait a few months, let the traffic backlog get back to normal, and simply just submit the new items under the requirement - 2 Photos and a Fingerprint Card.
.

==> My recommendation on a Purchase of a NEW Suppressor is -
to wait until around September 2016.

Firearm Forum Question: What Does it Mean When a Firearm Discharges Out-of-Battery

Ask A Firearms Question:
What Does it Mean When a Gun Discharges Out of Battery?
Thank you The Patriot Train.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
This is when a Firearm discharges (fires) when the slide or bolt is not fully closed. This can result in the firearm exploding sending shrapnel flying everywhere injuring or killing the user (shooter), and any bystanders to close.

Firearm Forum Question: Can You Sell a Firearm Without a Serial Number

Ask A Firearms Question:
My grandfather left me an old shotgun that does not appear to have any serial number, is this legal to own, and can I resell it?
Thank you James Woodall.

Published for Readers Information and Content Only

Not a Legal Opinion

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Yes this firearm is legal to own, shoot, and resell as long as it meets the minimum barrel length and overall length as defined by the ATF.

If a firearm has been modified or is a fully automatic weapon you can still legally own the weapon but you need to acquire a Federal Tax Stamp from the ATF, the current cost is $200.00 per firearm.

More ....
Generally when these older weapons are sold through a license gun dealer (FFL) or an auction house they fill out the required ATF form for transfer and where it indicates a Serial Number (S/N) they write ...
NVSN (No Visible Serial Number).
Prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968, the U.S. Government Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) did not require manufacturers to have serial numbers on a firearm of any type. Many manufacturers had a serial number dating back to the 1800s but there was no regulation requiring such markings.
However after the Gun Control Act of 1968, known as the GCA, ALL new firearms manufactured for sale in the United States had to have a serial number.

There are some exceptions about serial numbers:
Prototypes by Licensed Gun Manufacturers are generally exempt
Weapons made by non FFL manufacturers are exempt
Modified Weapons (however, these require a Federal Tax Stamp from the ATF)
Weapons made for the Military or Intelligence Agencies are exempt

Important Note: Removal of a Serial Number is a Federal Crime.

Related Gun Ownership Information ....
1) It is prohibited to own, make, or sell Undetectable Firearms (any firearm with less than
3.7 ounces of metal content , or 3D made plastic).
2) Personal Ownership of a Fully Automatic or a Modified Firearm to be Fully Automatic is
prohibited unless the individual has acquired a Federal Tax Stamp from the ATF.
3) The interstate private sale of a firearm with or without a serial number is prohibited, this
sale must go through a licensed FFL (be shipped by an FFL located in your state to a
Licensed FFL in the state in which the buyer resides).
4) Local State, County, and City Laws may exist in your area for the sale, trade, or
purchase of firearms. Check with a local FFL in your area, or the local police with
jurisdiction, or a lawyer with knowledge of firearm laws.

Firearm Forum Question: Kimber 84M Bolt Action Rifle Recall Notice

Ask A Firearms Question:
Whats up with the Kimber Model 84M Bolt Action Rifle?
Thank you Ruddi James.

The Kimber Line of Model 84M Bolt Action Hunting and Target Rifles:
Mouse over, Click on image to enlarge ...

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
The Kimber 84M Bolt Action Rifle is under massive RECALL for a safety issue with the Bolt that could cause the rifle to discharge while in the safe mode.
Kimber refers to this as a malfunction, we consider this a serious safety issue and a bad design with poor quality management.
This is NOT Kimber's first Recall. They also had a Recall on their Solo Model Handgun, see Link below.

Use the Appropriate Link Below

Kimber's Website Link -
http://www.kimberamerica.com

http://www.kimberamerica.com/safety

Kimber's Complete List of 84M Rifle Serial Numbers -
http://www.kimberamerica.com/serial-84m

If your firearm serial number is listed contact Kimber immediately.
Do NOT operate or use your Kimber 84M Bolt Action Rifle.
Kimber will repair the 84M Rifle free of charge.
If you are in the List of Serial Numbers affected, call Kimber at once for instructions at -
888 243 4522 M-F East Coast Time, USA
- or -
Email: cs513@kimberamerica.com

The suggested retail price ranges from $1,223.00 to $2,240.00 for this Rifle. At those prices better care and a superior product should be guaranteed to their customers. Add to the fact two Hunting Calibers are missing in choice for the buyer: The 30-06 and the 300 Win Mag.

==> My recommendation on the Kimber Model 84M Bolt Action Rifle is -
a NO BUY.
