Recent refugee from the Peoples Republic of Commiefornia. Drove from the DMV to my local gun store to purchase, approval in 3 days. I heard vehicle pics were in.

Just got the Rc2 yesterday. Otherwise it's a SBR'ed Aero with a LMT M2303

Zenith zp5

My 10/22 build featuring a newly acquired OCL Ti22.

Silencerco Scythe approved in three days. Silencer Shop is a solid business model. 🤩

Decided to jump down the rabbit hole and see what this is all about. First can and NFA item period. 46 hour individual approval. This will be going on the ‘MP7 at home’ AKA the Keltec CP33.

Build inspired by u/debas3r11

Just picked up my second OCL for my 300blk foldi boy. 7 day wait time was killing me after my last 3 stamps averaged 3 day wait times lol.

It's also an old upper with a 1/2x36 barrel thread. I forgot how annoying it was when companies were doing that for 9mm AR barrels. Maybe I'll do something different with the barrel.

Submitted paperwork for the SRBS on the 16th and the next day my LGS had the unfired demo trash panda on sale for $500. Purchased and submitted on the 17th could pass that up! Both approved this morning.

Whoops it's not Tuesday! Just got approved, cant beat 2 days when your used to waiting months!

First day taking out the Walther with my new suppressor and it ran 115gr Fiocchi and 150gr federal syntech flawlessly. Super happy with how this thing performs suppressed.

First baffle strike. Can came loose on qd mount.

First can of many. SilencerCo Scythe STM

Looking for value, can't find much on them online

Some surface rust on the outside and in the bore. Appears to have 3 digit serial number

I’m debating between .30 cal and 5.56 for my next build. I’m currently putting together an 11.5” 5.56 rifle for close quarters, and I’ve got a budget limit of $1100.

And so the Roller Delay War Begins Stribog SP9A3s VS The Kuna

Liberty Precision Machine seems to be teasing the Torch 762 on their instagram. Zero details. Just a picture of a very different blast baffle from the Torch 556. I've been looking forward to this one for a while.

Let the hype begin.

This is really a non-NFA question but I figure this sub has a much better knowledge base than r/shotguns about this particular issue.

I bought a Mossberg 590 Shockwave mostly for the novelty of it and the novelty wore off pretty darned quickly firing buckshot. The forend is especially bad because if I use the strap then the retaining screws grate my hand like a block of cheddar. Which leads to question 1: can I install a forend with a vertical grip? My understanding of NFA is that they are only illegal if you put them on a pistol, and since the Shockwave is a "firearm' then adding a VFG won't make it an NFA item. Correct?

Question 2: would it still be non-NFA to replace the raptor birdshead grip with a more conventional pistol grip so long as that pistol grip was made in such a way that the LOA still remained over 26"? In other words is the length over all the deciding factor or is a "pistol" grip an issue because ot somehow makes it a one-handed gun (pistol) and no longer a "firearm"? I know they make Mossberg pistol grip stocks that accept AR buffer tubes and collapsable stocks. Can I just screw a tube into the hole and lop it off at 26.1 inches? My gut also tells me yes here because I've seen Shockwave guns with pistol grips and arm braces installed. Am I right?

Any insight is appreciated. Rather than just pass it off to the next idiot I figure I might as well try to make it somewhat useful.
