Which gun is so iconic that if shown to anyone (even someone with zero firearm experience) they would be able to name it? I submit that it is the AK47.
I strongly considered the AR15, but so many politicians have shown pictures of something they called and AR15 that was definitely not.
I'm needing to get a new suppressor mount for my TP9. (Mine is an old model with threads) I'm looking at the collar system the printed suppressor comes with (basically seems like a Tri-lug that you screw down instead of using spring tension) and wondering how well it holds up to firing? Does the little metal clip actually hold it secure? Or does it require constant tightening?
Would I be better served with this Hub mount from BSD? It's about $100 cheaper than the HKParts OEM mount, which is pretty tempting.
I'm not a fan of the factory B&T tri-lug adapter that just kinda squishes together on the muzzle device. (The silver collar gets stuck for one thing) The Reardon device is hub mount compatible, and in the right (Bravo) thread pitch, in theory it should work.
I was disassembling my TP9 and dropped it on the ground, the barrel assembly is now locked on in this position and I can't seem to get it off now. I don't want to force it, but it seems very stuck.
Finally got my TP9 suppressor, got home and immediately realized it won't work on my TP9. What options do I have?
Thought this would be worth sharing for those who might have the same issue. Back on Feb 5th, I did my first (well actually first 3) form 4s using the new electronic system. Bought a SiCo Sycthe TI, Rugged 45 Obsidian, and a B&T TP9 can. I used the in shop Silencer shop kiosk. The process was nice, simple, fast & cheap ($25).
As someone who bought all their previous cans prior to 2018, I was hopeful and excited about the possibilities of this new setup compared to the "old days." Especially being on this sub and seeing folks, even that early in the year of no more $200 tax, getting sub 2 week approvals.
Fast forward to this weekend still no approval email from either the ATF or contact from my FFL. A solid citizen by the name of u/IndividualResist2473 let me know that the info I found online stating that you needed 90 days to pass before connecting with the ATF about your status was actually only 60 days. I sent in my email yesterday (a Sunday at 10am).
Even though it was a Sunday, I heard back from them by 7:13pm, saying that my forms had been approved on 2/12, and that I needed to reach out to my FFL.
Called up my FFL as soon as they opened this morning and was told initially that they had no record on their system of an approval email. (Not a pleasing moment) The fellow then checked his email. Said he had the email in his inbox from the ATF, and that it was received at 7:15pm last night (Sunday), and that the date of approval on the form was 2/12. I'm guessing (based on the exact time mentioned by my FFL, which I hadn't mentioned to him at that point) my email to the ATF IPB caused a realization that the "approved" email was never sent to my FFL. So, they sent them the email at the same time they sent it to me and then blamed it on my FFL.
TLDR: The ATF screwed me out of 2 months of time with my cans.
