AR15.com News and Updates

AR15.com

Honeoye Falls, NY -(Ammoland.com)- It would seem that the news is

growing each month. This month we’re featuring more videos including

them both in the Training Tips section as well as a supplement to the

Direct from DirectAction columns.

In addition, we’re including several new products that are really exciting,

and links to a few videos there as well.

Featured Products

Our featured product for the month is the Battle Arms Development

Ambidextrous Safely Selector (otherwise known as a BAD-ASS). This

has been a very well received product on our site, and is one of the few

parts I plan to put on each and every one of my ARs (others include the

BCMGUNFIGHTER Charging Handle and PWS compensators, both to

be discussed in more detail on a future writeup).

Also, next month look for gear from Bravo Company in this update.

These guys have been producing a great product for many years, and you

can’t go anywhere these days to train and not run into a number of BCM

rifles used by people who know their ARs and could have any rifle they

want.

Recent Site Updates

Recently we created a new search engine for the site, a very long overdue

and highly requested tool. This month, we’ll talk a little about it and

some of the extra features which many of you may not be familiar with

(or even aware of).

The basic search functions still focus on keyword and user searching, but

have been expanded to provide more options. For example, a keyword

search is no longer limited to phrases. With a drop down box, located

under the keyword field, you can select the search to focus on a PHRASE

(combination of all words), or search for ALL (each keyword is found)

or ANY (any keyword is found) keywords. In addition you can now

search through the body of posts and not just subjects. In user searches,

you can enter the username and search for topic authors or replies by

that specific user. User searching can be combined with keyword

searching to create a very specific result set.

We’ve also extended other existing options and added new sorting and

display choices. The date range allows you to search on a few date ranges

with a newer/older option to ensure you find what you need when your

mind can’t remember specifics. The addition of sorting options now

allow you to get your results displayed how you prefer them, be it by the

author’s name, the number of replies (most popular first), or when the

posts were created. To finalize the display options, you now have the

ability to see the results as either a list of topics, which has been the

standard for years, or to view them as posts. The post option provides

you with a short summary of the specific thread which matched your

keyword search. This means if you search for a specific keyword, you will

see all the resulting posts, regardless if they were topics or replies, where

those keywords were found. In addition, each resulting summary will

have a link directly to that post, regardless of it’s location in a discussion

thread.

A pair of extras were added for Gold+ Team Members. Keyword

highlighting within threads jumped to from the search is now available.

This makes finding your searched keywords much quicker! Auto-

completion of usernames was also added to make it easier to find the

user’s name for those searches when you are looking for a long or

complicated name. As an optional reference, the auto-completed names

are shown to the right of the user box to be used if you desire.

About:

AR15.Com originated in 1996 as a mailing list for firearm enthusiasts. As

the years passed and interest grew, a website came into existence to

present those same enthusiasts with a means to collect, share, and

explore information. Shortly afterwards, a bulletin board was added to

create a more interactive experience for the growing list of users. The site

was still in it’s infancy, but was growing in popularity. Visit:

Ohio FHFH CoordinatorsNeeded to Fight HungerSEP 21, 2010 04:30P.M.

Ohio FHFH Coordinators Needed to Fight Hunger

Volunteer to make a difference.

Ohio Department Natural Resources

COLUMBUS, OH --(Ammoland.com)- The Ohio Department of

Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife has collaborated with

Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) in an effort to assist

with the processing costs associated with donating venison to Ohio food

banks.

“Last year’s effort in Ohio was great, with 44 of Ohio’s 88

counties receiving part of the 122,221 pounds of donated

meat,” said Josh Wilson, operations director for FHFH.

“Our volunteer organization can still use your help as part of

the state is without coordinators or meat processors.”

Anyone interested in becoming a local Ohio FHFH coordinator or a

participating meat processor should visit the “Local FHFH” page at

fhfh.org. The current list of coordinators along with their program names

and the counties they are serving can be found there.

Prospective volunteers or meat processors can contact one of the existing

coordinators to discuss time commitment or any other questions they

might have about becoming a FHFH coordinator or meat processor.

Responsibilities of a local coordinator:

• Organizing a network of at least one inspected, insured meat

processor to cut, package and freeze the donated deer and one food

bank or feeding ministry to distribute the meat to the hungry.

• Developing a fundraising plan to raise the money needed to cover

the meat processing and other local program expenses. FHFH will

help you select some fundraising events and projects to work on

and you can also approach individuals, businesses, churches, clubs

and other organizations directly for support.

• Promoting the program so that people can learn about FHFH and

become involved as supporters and/or volunteers.

FHFH.org

FHFH began in Maryland in 1997 after founder Rick Wilson encountered

a woman along a Virginia highway looking for help loading a road-killed

deer into her car to feed her children. Inspired to give hunters the

opportunity to help feed the hungry, Wilson formed a program that

would raise money to pay the butchering bills for hunters that donate

deer.

More than 10 years later, FHFH has grown to include 130 local

coordinators in 25 different states. Annual meat donation totals have

topped 429,800 pounds—enough to provide meat for more than 1.72

million meals—and are expected to increase even further in the coming

years.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between

wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all.

The Mineral Mizer Buck Bag Wet It, Hang It & Forget It

Mineral Mizer Buck Bag

Source Outdoor Group

Gainesville, GA --(Ammoland.com)- You’ve seen big deer on your

property and you even have trail camera pictures as proof. But, just

because they’ve made an appearance on your land doesn’t mean they’ll

stay.

Big bucks have a tendency to roam, especially during the rut. But, you

can keep bruisers on your property with the help of the Mineral Mizer

Bag from 3D Buck Bag.

The Mineral Mizer Bag produces a continuous fresh drip of nourishing

minerals to the surface of the ground with the help of moisture in the air

and an occasional rain. Deer find this mineral lick so tempting that they

will continue to return for more.

Mineral lasts longer in the bag than with conventional pour-and-stir

methods by producing a controlled drip that constantly refreshes the

ground lick from above. The Mineral Mizer bag will save you money and

trips replenishing the lick by keeping the area free of human scent

longer. The porous and UV-resistant geotextile bag is easily refillable and

can stand up to the elements without showing signs of wear or corrosion.

The Mineral Mizer Bag works over any soil and is hog-proof so it can’t be

rooted or rolled away like traditional mineral blocks.

Although the Mineral Mizer Bag works with any dry granular mineral,

MAX-I-MIZER Mineral will help deer reach their full potential. MAX-I-

MIZER Mineral, a scientific blend of digestible phosphorus, potassium,

calcium and essential minerals, provides the best results.

This combination of minerals is not only extremely attractive to deer, but

it gives fawns a better-than-average chance of developing into healthy

full-bodied adults.

Stop pouring money on the ground. Get the long-lasting results you want

with the Mineral Mizer Bag and MAX-I-MIZER Mineral from 3D Buck

Bag.

Should The Second AmendmentBe Repealed?SEP 21, 2010 04:00P.M.

Should The Second Amendment Be Repealed?

Shooters Committee on Political Education

Lackawanna, New York --(Ammoland.com)- Front Page columnist

Budd Schroeder will debate well known political blog webmaster, Joseph

Illuzzi on the subject, “Should the Second Amendment be repealed?” Mr.

Illuzzi’s, blog is PoliticsNY.Net and he his well known for his insight on

elections and political controversial issues.

He believes that civilians should not own firearms.

The program is sponsored by the Judges & Police Conference where Mr.

Schroeder is First Vice-President. He is also Chairman of the Board of

S.C.O.P.E. Inc. (Shooter’s Committee On Political Education) and a

member of the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association.

Schroeder believes that the Constitution is correct and that firearms is

almost a synonym for freedom. The differences in opinion between the

two participants may stem from Mr. Illuzzi’s position that guns kill and

he is against killing.

Mr. Schroeder has always taken the position that more lives are saved by

guns. A gun is nothing more than a tool and murders are caused by

people who are criminals. He has often said that the problems of violence

and murders are not because there are “too many guns on the street,” but

rather, too many criminals on the streets.

The debate is designed to shed light without generating heat and to

present the pros and cons of gun control. The issue has a long history of

having a base in religion, constitutional law, and social issues. It is

expected that these issues will be addressed during the debate.

Supreme Court Justice Frank Caruso will be the moderator for this

program. The Judges & Police Conference dinners usually restricted to

members and guests. For this event, those interested in attending can

make reservations without being a member. The deadline for

reservations is October 4.

Think about that for a moment Governor of New York State and we can

We must redouble our efforts to insure that our candidate is successful

EMA Roni Pistol – Carbine Fiscally Responsible & Economical

EMA Tactical Introduces The RONI Pistol To Carbine Conversion Kit

EMA Tactical

Tullytown, PA --(Ammoland.com)- Designed for the Special Forces

operator, The RONI has found favor with SWAT, Motorcycle, School

Resource Officers and Security Details.

Using the RONI, only one weapon is required for both close quarters and

mid range engagements.

No more duplicating weapons, ammunition and magazines. The operator

*123456* Lineitem #123456, tabblo #1, page 7 (7 of 19), generated 2010-09-22 02:12:26.033492 on g1t0307, dpi=225

is carrying less weight. In utilizing one weapon system, logistics are

streamlined, saving time and money by not having to stock replacement

parts, magazines, ammunition and gun-smithing for two weapon

systems.

Now, one weapon serves multiple applications. Because the RONI uses

pistol caliber and not rifle caliber ammunition, there is much less chance

of penetration thru walls causing collateral damage. The RONI converts

your sidearm from a tertiary weapon into a primary weapon. The RONI

is priced much less than a SMG. Training with one weapon system saves

time and money and more importantly, allows the operator to develop

the singular neuro-muscular coordination needed in high stress

situations.

ACCURACY:

• RONI Pistol Carbine Conversion allows you to realize the accuracy

inherent in the pistol. Targets can be engaged at 50 yards and

beyond.

• The RONI shoulder stock design provides the stability to

significantly improve accuracy and shooting distance. User

accuracy is also increased because the sight line and rail height are

above the barrel. The weight and design of the RONI significantly

reduces recoil and eliminates muzzle jump contributing to

increased accuracy.

TRANSFORMATION:

• A pistol can be installed in the RONI in 5 seconds. No pistol

disassembly or gunsmithing is required for installation in the

RONI.

• Repeatable zero is maintained when reinserting the pistol into the

RONI. The RONI holds the pistol at three points, around the

trigger guard, at the tang of the back strap, and at the under barrel

rail mount.

• Slide operation is controlled by a cocking handle friction fitted to

the slide serrations. • RONI’s enlarged cocking handle design

makes cocking easier for any size operator and allows quicker

clearing of jams.

• Jams are cleared exactly the same way as when shooting the pistol

by itself. All necessary parts are accessible.

DESIGN FEATURES:

• Polymer body with a reinforced aluminum spine provides the

strength, rigidity & durability needed while reducing carrying

weight for the operator.

• Ergonomic design is a comfortable and user friendly. Featuring an

adjustable cheek rest, collapsible butt stock and folding grip.

• Ambidextrous design of the front and rear sling mounts, charging

handle and side rails allow for comfortable use by both left and

right handed operators.

• Muzzle shroud includes an integral glass breaker.

BUTT STOCK FEATURES:

• RONI’s butt stock with 5 position length of pull adjustment

provides a comfortable fit with or without body armor.

• RONI’s adjustable cheek rest is removable, providing a perfect

sight picture when using low profile sights.

• RONI’s butt stock features a secure extra magazine mount

positioned where it reduces reloading time but doesn’t interfere

with shooting.

• RONI can be operated with the butt stock in the closed position.

RAIL FEATURES:

• RONI’s 9.25” one piece upper aluminum rail is long enough to

accommodate a number of different sights, including a red dot +

night vision or red dot + flip up sights.

• RONI’s two 2.5” aluminum side rails allow the attachment of other

devices including flashlights, lasers, etc.

• RONI’s 2 1/8” lower polymer rail provides mounting for forward a

grip.

• RONI’s top and side rails are CNC manufactured from aviation

grade aluminum providing a solid platform for repeatable zero

mounts.

SAFETY FEATURES:

• RONI includes a safety shroud to protect the trigger for pistols

without a conventional safety devise.

• RONI has a forward finger guard to protect the forefinger from the

barrel shroud.

VERSATILITY:

• The RONI can be used with the forward grip in a vertical or

horizontal position.

• The RONI design allows the use of different model pistols from the

same manufacturer in the same RONI body. RONI’s design allows

for accurate single handed shooting from either hand.

• RONI’s unique design enables the user to “accurately point and

shoot” because the barrel is significantly lower than the sight

picture. RONI’s totally balanced design eliminates weapon recoil,

improving accuracy and reducing target reacquisition time.

Increased accuracy reduces training time.

• RONI’s imposing, futuristic, stylized design provides a much more

deterring profile than a pistol alone.

DIMENSIONS:

• RONI G1 weight 3.22 lbs Overall length 18.5” (stock closed) 21.75”

(stock extended) Height 7.5” (forward grip in vertical position)

Width 3”.

• RONI with a Glock 17 at 4.62 lbs is almost 30% lighter than the

H&K MP5/10 SMG at 6.23 lbs. • RONI is much more concealable

because it doesn’t have the MP5 forward banana clip and because

of its size.

OPTIONS:

• Three color options: Black, Green and Desert Tan.

• Optional hinged brass catcher with magnetic release provides easy

access to the ejection port. Velcro bag closure quickly empties the

spent cases.

• Optional secure magnetic vehicle mount allows for quick removal

from the vehicle. • RONI accepts sound suppressors up to 1.375”

diameter.

• In the USA, All NFA Rules Apply

Wisconsin police fail to understand the law again.

Wisconsin Carry

Racine, WI --(Ammoland.com)- Saturday night at approximately 7:30

pm 5 Wisconsin Carry members were peaceably dining at a Culvers in

Madison.

8 Madison Police officers arrived and demanded ID from our members.

As Wisconsin is not a police-state, Wisconsin law does not require you to

provide identification to an officer unless you are operating a motor

vehicle.

2 Wisconsin Carry members, in consideration of their legal rights

Ruffed Grouse Society Joins Others in Celebrating NHF Day

Ruffed Grouse Society

Coraopolis, Pa – -(Ammoland.com)- The Ruffed Grouse Society

(RGS), is proud to join the nation’s dedicated and conservation-minded

hunters and fishermen as they prepare to celebrate the 38th anniversary

of “National Hunting and Fishing Day” on Saturday, September 25.

“What began as an idea in a small Pennsylvania gun shop a

few hours south of our headquarters here in Coraopolis, has

become one of the most significant events on the American

calendar. The Ruffed Grouse Society’s Board, staff and

volunteers are proud to support National Hunting and

Fishing Day and are pleased with recent studies that show

that the vast majority of Americans support our sport-

hunting tradition. RGS and its dedicated volunteers have a

host of events planned for this fall aimed at exposing women

and youth to that tradition,” said RGS President and CEO

Mike Zagata.

“Working with its many volunteers and members across the

country, the Ruffed Grouse Society continues to provide

hunting opportunities for grouse, woodcock and other game

species, as well as providing opportunities for those who

simply enjoy watching and photographing the hundreds of

non-game species that also benefit from the habitat grouse

and woodcock need to survive,” Zagata continued.

Zagata referred to the12,500 forested acres RGS is managing in PA for

CONSOL Energy, the 2,300 acres its managing in Somerset County, PA

and the over 500,000 acres it has impacted on public lands as examples

where RGS’ work has benefitted all species, both hunted and non-

hunted, that require young forests for survival. In order to add to that

acreage, RGS presently has five timber harvesting machines in operation

around the country.

He then pointed to the new partnership agreement with the Minnesota

Department of Natural Resources in which RGS will contribute 30-

percent towards the salary of the newly established ruffed grouse

coordinator position. RGS is seeking to establish similar positions in

other states.

Established in 1961, the Ruffed Grouse Society is the one international

wildlife conservation organization dedicated to promoting conditions

suitable for ruffed grouse, American woodcock and related wildlife to

sustain our sport hunting tradition and outdoor heritage.

Recognized by Charity Navigator as a four-star not-for-profit

organization, information on the RGS, its mission, management projects

and membership can be found on the web at:

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

PHOENIX — Deputy Director Kenneth E. Melson of the Bureau of

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) today announced the

formation of seven new Project Gunrunner firearms trafficking groups

during a news conference in which he and Dennis K. Burke, United

States Attorney, District of Arizona, announced the results of ATF’s Gun

Runner Impact Team (GRIT) initiative, a nearly 100-day deployment of

ATF resources to the Phoenix Field Division to disrupt illegal firearms

trafficking by Mexican drug trafficking organizations.

As a result of the 2010 emergency supplemental appropriation for border

security, ATF received $37.5 million for Project Gunrunner, ATF’s

comprehensive firearms trafficking strategy to disrupt the illegal flow of

firearms into Mexico. With this funding, ATF will establish and place

firearms trafficking groups along traditional and newly-discovered

firearms trafficking routes and hubs in Atlanta; Dallas; Brownsville,

Texas; Las Vegas; Miami; Oklahoma City; and Sierra Vista, Ariz.

“Lives are being lost to violent crime every day on both sides

of the U.S. and Mexico border,” said Melson. “Through

Project Gunrunner and its GRIT initiative, ATF is shutting

down the supply routes of firearms traffickers along the

border and further inland.”

The GRIT initiative brought more than 80 experienced ATF personnel

from around the country to Arizona and New Mexico. GRIT special

agents initiated 174 firearms trafficking-related criminal investigations

and seized approximately 1,300 illegally-trafficked firearms and 71,000

rounds of ammunition, along with drugs and currency. ATF’s industry

operations investigators conducted more than 800 federal firearms

licensee compliance inspections.

“We are fighting on a crucial front here today to reduce

violence in our own communities, and to disrupt and

dismantle the southbound supply of weapons to the cartels,”

said Burke. “We will not be a gun locker for the cartels, who

have made murder and mayhem their modus operandi. We

will not tolerate violent criminals and others who illegally

possess, purchase or sell firearms.”

Burke announced that 96 defendants have been arrested, charged,

convicted or sentenced since June 2010 on gun-related charges. The

majority of defendants include violent felons, drug traffickers who use

weapons, and those trafficking firearms to Mexico. Cases involved more

than 370 guns — many of them AK-47 style rifles and other “weapons of

choice” of drug cartels — and hundreds of thousands of rounds of

ammunition smuggled into or destined for Mexico. Some of the guns

seized in the investigation, including a .50 caliber weapon, were

recovered at crime scenes in Mexico.

Recent examples of firearms prosecutions in the District of

Arizona:

• U.S. v. Arizmendiz et al.

• In July and August, two leaders of a firearms trafficking conspiracy

that supplied at least 112 firearms — mostly AK-47 style — to the

Sinaloa Cartel, were sentenced. Alejandroi Medrano, 23, and

Hernan Ramos, 22, both of Mesa, Ariz., were sentenced to 46 and

50 months in prison, respectively, for leading a conspiracy

involving 10 defendants who straw purchased firearms from gun

dealers in Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz., in order to supply them to a

member of the Sinaloa Cartel known as “Rambo.”

• U.S. v. Gaeda et al.

• On June 3, following an ATF investigation involving more than

250,000 rounds of ammunition, ATF agents arrested Emmanuel

Casquez, Elias Vasquez, and Charice Gaeda for unlawfully

exporting ammunition to Mexico. Agents had learned the three

were purchasing vast quantities of ammunition and searched a

vehicle headed for the border port at Nogales and recovered 9,500

rounds of ammunition; a search of a residence ensued and an

additional 27,000 rounds of ammunition were recovered.

• U.S. v. Ibarra et al.

• In July, a 20-count indictment announced charging 10 straw

purchasers, recruited by then 17-year-old Francisco Ibarra, to buy

at least 25 firearms. ATF believes the firearms were trafficked into

Mexico.

Obama Reveals Anti-Gun UNIntent & Sends Freedom HatingMayor As RepSEP 21, 2010 10:24A.M.

Obama Reveals Anti-Gun UN Intent & Sends Freedom Hating

Mayor As Rep

Buckeye Firearms Foundation

Ohio --(Ammoland.com)- The appointment of anti-gun rights former

Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels as an alternate representative to the United

Nations has removed any doubt about the Obama administration’s

intentions regarding global gun control initiatives, the Citizens

Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

Nickels, a founding member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the

author of Seattle’s failed attempt to override Washington’s state firearms

preemption statute, was sworn in Wednesday to “help represent the

United States in the UN assembly,” according to the Seattle Times.

“Putting an extremist gun banner in any position to represent

this country at the United Nations amounts to renting a

billboard for advertising against the Second Amendment,”

said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “While he was

Seattle’s mayor, Greg Nickels supported every anti-gun

scheme put forth by Washington CeaseFire, the Northwest’s

most active gun prohibition lobby.

“Nickels is a gun ban proponent,” he continued, “so his

appointment as an alternate to the UN is a clear signal of

Barack Obama’s intention to rubber stamp the UN’s global

gun ban agenda. We had to sue Nickels while he was still

Seattle’s mayor to overturn his illegal city parks gun ban.

Now he gets to push his anti-gun philosophy on a world scale.

It hardly seems a coincidence that Nickels has been

appointed by the Obama administration at a time when the

UN is considering treaties and initiatives that pose a serious

threat to the Second Amendment.”

Nickels was turned out of office in 2009, which was something of a feat

in a liberal enclave like Seattle, Gottlieb recalled. His defeat in the

primary demonstrated the degree of alienation voters felt from a

politician who once epitomized the Seattle liberal establishment.

“By naming Greg Nickels as an alternate representative at the

UN,” Gottlieb stated, “President Obama has essentially told

America’s 85 million gun owners that their firearm civil

rights are in jeopardy. Nickels cannot be counted on to

defend the Second Amendment because he would like to see

it erased from the Constitution.”

FirearmsTruth.com

Michigan --(Ammoland.com)- Owning a piece of history is something

special.

Owning a piece of history that is actually a machine-gun requires a lot of

special paperwork and hassle.

The alternative is to get a historic item that doesn’t actually fire. While

that might seem like half the fun is missing, think of half the fun you get

for having a fantastic display item – one that is generally legal to own

and still looks quite impressive.

International Military Antiques (IMA) is one of the premier sellers of

such historical items, as well as other unique oddities and collectibles.

We talked to owners Christian and Alexander Cranmer about their

business, how they got started and what the future might hold for

collectors. www.ima-usa.cm

International Military Antiques

FirearmsTruth: How did your company get started in the business of

selling display machine guns?

Christian Cranmer: IMA started in 1981 as the U.S. retail selling arm

of our British wholesale company, Fire-Power International Ltd which

was founded in 1967. FPI purchased military surplus from third world

governments and sold to European Dealers initially mostly Germany.

Most of the materials, at this early stage, were rifles and handguns with

some militaria (bayonets, swords and accouterments), but a few years

later Machine Guns were added to the menu principally because the

selling governments wanted to include them in their sale offers. Initially,

IMA dealt only in the Militaria side, not adding the Firearm parts until

1990. U.S. Federal Law prevented the importation of receivers (to use an

auto analogy; the “engine block” of the MG) so we broke the weapons

into parts for importation leaving the “engine block” in back at FPI in

England. Supply was initially strong but sales of these spare parts for

existing weapons soon were satisfied so another avenue needed to be

found to move this material.

This led to the development of the “Dummy Gun,” which is essentially a

look-alike display inert weapon but constructed with mostly original

parts. The original parts are then fitted onto a solid aluminum inert

receiver which makes a fantastic display but is totally inert and harmless.

FirearmsTruth: There have been many parts kits on the market, but

how do you ensure that what you’re selling won’t get your customers in

trouble:

Alexander Cranmer: IMA continually created new models and

submitted them to the BATF Technical Branch for evaluation and

approval. At that time, the head of tech services would issue a letter

confirming that a weapon rebuilt in the way our sample was presented

was “NO LONGER DEEMED A FIREARM” thereby permitting open sale.

We submitted dozens of weapon systems for which we each got a letter

and is still the basis for not only our Display Gun sales, but the majority

of the US Dummy Gun Market.

FirearmsTruth: To be clear, can you describe exactly what is a display

machine gun?

Alexander Cranmer: A vintage display machine gun is like a Model T

Ford that has a solid engine block, they both look the part but neither

will ever run. The reason a display machine gun looks “the business” is

because it is constructed from original serviceable parts. However, what

makes it a display as opposed to an operational gun is that we replace the

most crucial part, the receiver (or engine block), with a new made

aluminum receiver or an original de-militarized (“demilled”) receiver.

A demilled receiver has been flame cut into multiple pieces (according to

BATF guidelines). We then re-weld this cut receiver into a “lump”. We

call it a lump because there is no internal space for any parts whatsoever,

rendering it completely inert and only useful for display. It should also

be noted that when a receiver is cut in multiple locations some original

steel is lost. This means that when the receivers are “lumped” they are

generally slightly shorter. This additional step makes it virtually

impossible to engineer our lump receivers to working condition. Today,

due to recent import laws, even the barrels have been destroyed or

replaced with an inert rod or tube. In short, it would far be easier to build

a MG from scratch than to attempt to reactivate one of our Display

Machine Guns. Hypothesize for a moment that it was possible to convert

a display machine gun to working condition, well, anyone with the

required skills, tools and materials would be able to make a far more

lethal machine gun in a fraction of the time for a faction of the cost. Lets

go back to the automobile analogy, if you had the skills to build a race

car, would you build a 2010 Ferrari or a 1920 Model T Ford?

FirearmsTruth: What have been some of the most popular and

desirable items?

Alexander Cranmer: German WW2 Machine Guns of the Nazi era are

the best sellers, followed by U.S. and British. In 1996 we offered German

MP 44 Parts Sets for $395 and “Display MP 44s” at $495. Today an MP

44 Display Gun easily brings $3,500. Similarly MP 40 parts sets were

sold by IMA in 1993 at $325, today the going price for an MP 40 parts set

price is well over $ 2,000. We have a saying that there are Nazi

Collectors and there are Collectors of everything else. It is probably a

sense of “dancing with the Devil” as, ironically, some of the biggest Nazi

memorabilia collectors in the world are Jewish. Also, to be fair, the

Germans are and were master engineers. The majority of the German

WWII guns & equipment are simply superior in design and quality than

comparable allied items.

FirearmsTruth: For a long time it wasn’t even legal to own a non-

firing machine gun in many states, but with a few exceptions these are

generally legal today. Do you think the laws controlling the firing guns

make these display weapons so popular?

Alexander Cranmer: Different States and municipalities have

different regulations but, in general, the reason for non-gun or Display

Guns popularity is that legal ownership of a working machine gun,

although possible in some States (not all), requires so many security

measures and responsibilities that an Display Inert Original item without

complications seems highly preferable in comparison. Also, the

availability of registered fully automatic machine guns is very limited

and or owning and transporting a converted semi- auto MG gun drives

up the cost significantly, meaning its far more affordable, easier, and

safer to purchase a display inert machine gun.

FirearmsTruth: Since 2005 there has been a ban on the importation of

parts kits to the United States. Does this mean there is only so much

more stuff out there?

Alexander Cranmer: Actually, there is not a current ban on Machine

Guns Parts Sets, however the 2005 regulation you refer to concerns

barrels. When the Justice Department took over the BATF from Treasury

their lawyers reviewed all existing Laws and decided that the clause in

the 1968 Gun Control Act denying importation for “short” Revolver

Barrels for Saturday Night Specials could also be interpreted to include

Machine Gun barrels. It is not what the Law says, or is intended to say,

but it is the current interpretation of the present Justice Department and

Administration. There are currently moves to have this struck down in

court, we are told, but from IMA’s point of view we have no problem

constructing a Display Machine Gun using a demilitarized or deactivated

barrels in an inert display item.

Additionally, the Government is using various other Laws to impose

import bans on Chinese and ex Soviet Weapons and even American

Returned Goods that was introduced in the 1950s to prevent handguns

made by Smith & Wesson and Colt for example, that had been supplied

to U.S. Allies at no cost (Lend/Lease Program) being re-imported to

compete with those manufacturers in the post war domestic market. It is

now 65 years since WWII ended and this Law prevents one importing a

WWI Springfield bolt Action Rifle made in 1903, over 100 years old, a

rifle possibly carried by our Grand Fathers or even Great Grand Fathers.

This appears to be utter madness and is a slap in the face of every

Veteran who has ever served his country. This particular rifle even

predates the Model T Ford!

FirearmsTruth: Will demand eventually tap out the supply?

For IMA, and most WWII collectors, the end of an era is in sight. Even

the Third World is now almost empty of the desirable WW1 and WW2

materials which have become so popular in the last 20 years probably

because of films like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. Today

the Government offerings, such as they are, consist of weapons made in

the 1960s/1970s and 1980s, which have little romantic association. The

vast majority of military surplus now is automatically destroyed,

regardless of value, in accordance with various United Nations

directives. The bright side is that this means that every vintage military

antique in anyone’s collection goes up in value every day.
