As a non licensee, you cannot e-form your own Form 4. Your dealer will need your passport style image and prints for submissions one way or another, depending on what ecosystem they use for NFA submissions.
Friends and family with an NFA items(s) have died and their items that were not in a trust have not been involved in probate. All that was required of them of was a Form 5 with substantiating documents.
Once again, great. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work.
Yes, I could. I could also share personal experience of when it does work. Neither of the opposing experience changes that some outer diameters are not large enough in relation to the bore diameter for certain thread pitches.
You're using a thread pitch adapter and it's working out, great. Since you're referencing Thunder Beast, tell them too and they will tell you the same thing. It's not a good practice to encourage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. What always work is using the correct thread pitch...
If anyone is using a thread pitch adapter, you're adding stacking tolerances, and that's not good
When you use a muzzle device to mount a suppressor, you're adding "stuff". And anytime you add stuff to your mix, you will get different outcomes. Different muzzle devices make bullets and gas...
Flow through on bolt guns is a misuse of tech. You get less suppression with flow through and none of the benefits. If you're going out with your AR and putting a lot of rounds down range, they are great for keeping gas out of your face and nostrils. Some gun mfgs are making their bolt shrouds...
Recent personal experience:
Rem 700 SPS stainless. Had to cut, crown, and threaded twice. First time was 1/2x28 and used a 5/8x24 thread adapter. I had all kinds of accuracy issues and got them sorted to shooting just under MOA. Still wasn't satisfied and talked to Thunder Beast, and I was told...
I didn't have drink for a month, a week before my daughter was born I had one. So a month goes by with no desire or time for it due to being present for her needs and my wife's needs. An evening came that I had no responsibilities and I had two. Thought to myself, "I haven't missed this...
People that are dissatisfied with their suppression bought the wrong item, had untempered expectations, were mislead, didn't do enough research, a combination of any of those. They are not all equal, and some perform well for their price point and features on certain platforms.
For example...
I suppose it depends on the size of deer. Last year I took a whitetail doe in Montana, boned it out in the field and brought out a whopping 20lbs of meat. My Kifaru Hellbender was not at all taxed. Later that week I took a true spike elk, deboned in the field, three friends helped pack it out...
On average I lift twice a week for an hour. During the late summer/fall before late October I will load my pack with 60-70lbs of weight and walk the treadmill and stair stepper, and do box squats. What I do not do is separate muscle groups into separate days.
