DougStump Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 At great risk of getting bashed, I'm going to toss in my .02 worth. I am not a lawyer, and I did not sleep at Motel 6 last night. My opinion is: If you change any original markings on the receiver, then it will be YOUR responsibility to prove that it is the original and not a replacement receiver. In my view, that is going to be durn near impossible. Of course, I consider my Savage M1A1 to be a REAL thompson! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Jr Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 http://www.cswnet.com/~luther/para2.jpg QUOTE Paragraph two of the ATF letter is crystal clear as to what an individual may do regarding manufacturers markings. ATF, Tech Branch simply declined to make a ruling on this specific firearm. That's the way I read the letter. I'm not sure whether or not you'd consider me a "prudent person," Phil; but I am a lawyer. QUOTE It can be interpreted as putting the seal of approval on the owner's grinding off all identifying markings from a firearm except for the serial number. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/iagree.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/iagree.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/iagree.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"For those who say they don't understand why, I am confident there are people at ATF and Justice who will be happy to explain. But it's always better to have it explained before, rather than after... This is beginning to sound like a monthly debate session of the Flat Earth Society, with the usual star contributor taking the most entertaining position." Are you as confident now as you were before? Guess the earth is flat.... who wulda guessed? Last posting for me on this subject..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm glad someone wrote to FTB and requested a determination. When I had a meeting with FTB last week, this subject was brought up briefly. We were examining an H&K 94 or SP89 that had been remarked MP5. FTB said that it was kosher as long as the s/n was not messed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhlowe Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Calibre: You misread my post. I have removed the markings from the frame not the receiver. I hope you weren't offended that I sought references here. I don't have the receiver disassembled yet, but will get-r-done soon and then send it off. I'll call you. 45fan: Yep me to. Blaine: Send that thing off to Craig. Your letter from ATF is clear. Don't argue with an idiott, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
