![]() These rifles still have to be inspected, repaired if possible, and graded before we can put them up for sale. We also have approximately 300 H&R M12, 500 Remington 513T, and 500 Winchester 52 series rifles. Until we complete inspecting each and every one of these rifles and know what we have, we will not be able to set prices or take orders (or pre-orders) or establish a waiting list. At this time we cannot predict how many will pass inspection as complete rifles and how many will be just barreled receivers. There are approximately 900 Remington 40X (standard and heavy barrel combined) that we will be inspecting, repairing and offering for sale in a few months. A trickle of a few dozen of these rifles does find its way to the CMP annually, but we do not expect to ever again receive large quantities of US government smallbore training or target rifles, since they no longer exist in Army inventory (depot or loan). Most of these have already been sold over the past 14 years and very few remain in CMP inventory. These returns, plus all the other smallbore rifles already in depot storage were then transferred to the CMP. Except for a very few stragglers, all of the smallbore rifles were returned to Army storage. This is between the individual and the FBI.ĭuring the past 14 years, the Army has required most units and schools to turn in all of their smallbore rifles. The FBI does not give us any reasons why someone is on delay or denied. It does no good to ‘run it again’ daily – the status won’t change. We just found that ’30’ works best in not jerking the customer or the FBI around. The reason for waiting 30 days is that we have found after all these years that most ‘delays’ and ‘open’ do change to ‘proceed or ‘deny’ within that time. If after 30 days the NICS request still shows as open – we cancel the order and notify the customer to submit an appeal to the FBI. We track the status several times each day for up to 30 days. This is not something we do – it is the FBI NICS system. After 3-4 days, if the FBI does not give us a ‘proceed’ or ‘delay’, the NICS system changes the status to ‘open’. If we get a ‘delay‘, we do nothing but keep checking the status until it changes. If response was a ‘deny’, we cancel the order and prepare a letter and send it to the customer with information for the customer to appeal the ruling directly to the FBI. If we get the ‘proceed’, we print the information and attach it to the order and put the order in the tray (for the date order was received) for processing. Every hour or so we check the list and some status will have changed to either ‘proceed’, ‘deny’ or ‘delay’. As soon as we do, the name shows up on the screen in a list with other names that we have input and not yet received a response. ![]() Third– we input the information directly into the FBI ENICS system via computer (not by telephone). It only provides the information about the individual. Second– the NICS check submission to the FBI provides no information about the firearm – no model, no serial number, nothing. We can also ship direct to your home, where dealers cannot. The three days after a ‘delay’ does not apply to us as it does to FFL licensed dealers. ![]() So – we cannot ship a rifle until we get a ‘proceed’ from the FBI. The law also specifies that we must have a completed ‘successful’ background check conducted for each sale. We are not required to keep a ‘book’ or to ship only to another FFL. The law that established the CMP exempted us from FFL requirements. If you receive a “Delay” from the FBI, why do you not process the order after three days, as authorized by law?įirst– we are not your regular gun dealer. I've done it without removing the lugs, but maybe I'm just lucky. Strongest recommendation is use a stone to polish lug's face (top). When you find a bolt that has been excessively, or improperly filed, you may detect a loose fit on lockup to frame. I've dressed many a bolt and repeated reinstall to assure proper fit is needed. Proper size drive punch will easily remove 'c' pin. Process can be attempted while locking lug is in place, but access to the necessary planes of bolt are more readily available if removed. Use a stone, such as one for sharpening knives, finer the better.Ĭheck your progress on multiple occasions by reassembly and response of the action. It only takes a very very slight modification to make things work, but a teensy bit more will render your goodies into baddies. I have done it myself with excellent results.īring the barrels and frame to an old grey-haired gunsmith if you are not confident of your gunsmithing skills. There are places online that explain the procedure. Judicious stoning will solve the difficult latch/unlatch of the gun and barrel exchange.
