  1. Regarding fingerprints, I understand that the submission will be via kiosk type electronic files, just like SilencerCo uses with their kiosks. Once entered and accepted, then the fingerprints are "good" and can be used as long as the ATF allows. I know they require periodic picture updates, but not sure on how often the fingerprints are updated. Heck, I thought fingerprints were forever.....

    My understanding is the reason fingerprints are required for every paper submission is it serves to ID a person not in front of you. Fingerprints are unique to each individual, even identical twins have differing fingerprints but identical DNA.

     

    It is harder to get good impressions on older people especially diabetics. A set of fingerprints taken previously may actually be better than a "newer" set.

  2. I had a batch of 223 brass that at one point was too brittle. It would separate at the neck/shoulder junction like clockwork. Junked it and no problems since.

     

    I agree with Federal rifle brass being soft. I do not load it. Run their pistol brass no problems.

     

    It is also possible the brass coil that became those cases had suspect chemistry, that it wasn't drawn correctly, or the cannulure wasn't applied correctly. The ammunition industry, like all manufacturing, isn't going to be 100 % all the time.

  3. There is an exception to in person 4473 if the transfer does not need to go through NICS. See ATF procedure 2013-2.

     

    ATF used to publish the 4473 part 2 for non-over the counter sales. I have not seen this form for several decades. Somewhere I have a copy an older FFL/SOT gave me from Subguns.

  4. If I were to get a new Carbine I would get one from Inland or Fulton Armory. Or you could get a Fulton receiver and assemble.

     

    Inland is an investment cast receiver machined and Fulton is machined from billet.

     

    I have ten war time M1s and an Inland M2. Neat little critters, although I like semi better than full in the Carbine platform.
