- The good news: after 49 days, ATFE got back to me on the four guns I sent in the paperwork to SBR.
- The bad news: two of those applications were denied.
The simple version is this – somehow the markings on the two Uzis didn’t match up with the markings information I submitted. Probably an oversight on my end… I’ll resubmit but I was really looking forward to having the Uzis in their short configuration. On the other hand, it’s not a dealbreaker because one of those approvals was for one of my PTR MP5 copies. Any circumstance where I need the Uzi can be met with the MP5.
The other submission was for my Ruger PC Charger…which means I now have two of them SBR’d.
Still waiting on the CZ Evo that I submitted a few weeks after this last batch. That was the gun I bought because I never thought I’d be able to get an MP5 clone. And now I have three MP5’s. But, the CZ Evo is a nice gun with good ergos and a ridiculously simply blowback action.
Curious what a $0 tax stamp looks like these days? Here you go:
That a zero dollars (The Zero™ Dollar) value stamp exists largely sums up the issues with the .fed folks.
Half a congrats on the 2 that got approved!
Z,
Aside, I was wondering do the PTR MP5 clones measure up? I used HK MP-5’s back in the day and have recently been looking at the PTR models. The shorty 9RS in particular.
Thanks.
P.S. Hopefully 2nd times the charm with your uzi’s.
I had a problem with one of them where the magazine did not fit the gun properly. https://www.commanderzero.com/?p=10859 Sent that particular gun off to Bill Springfield and he handled it for me. I could have sent it back to PTR, but I wanted a fast turnaround. That was the MP5K version. The regular MP5 versions I had no problem with.
So are you going for a FRT on the MP5/Hk94? I know the AR ones are not something you should trust in the real world but the MP5/HK94 seem a lot better.
