Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operational challenges of the MK Machining bullpup chassis for the Remington 700?

The primary operational challenge highlighted is the awkwardness of using the bolt action due to the bolt handle's rearward placement on the Remington 700 receiver, which is not ideal for a bullpup configuration compared to forward-mounted bolt handles.

Is the Air Force Airguns Condor SS air rifle regulated by the ATF?

No, the Air Force Airguns Condor SS is an integrally suppressed air rifle that is currently unregulated by the ATF, meaning it can be shipped directly to consumers without federal paperwork.

Why is the ATF targeting individuals making muzzle brakes?

The ATF is targeting individuals making muzzle brakes by classifying them as suppressor baffles. Producing suppressor parts without a license is illegal, and this action raises questions about the ATF's definitions and enforcement regarding muzzle devices.

What type of ammunition is recommended for home defense rifles?

For home defense rifles, ammunition like Lehigh Defense Control Chaos is recommended. It's designed to dump energy quickly and provide consistent deep penetration, prioritizing rapid incapacitation and assuming misses will over-penetrate walls.
