Question from chuckinabox from Pennsylvania
Hey guys what patch do you think I should put on my multicam black burger king styled crown from moonlight industries when it comes in? They had an interesting promotion going on so I bought a crown to qualify for it. Now I’m just trying to figure out what patch to put on it. Thanks, chuckinabox
Question from Anonymous Coward from Virginia
Hey Guys,
My home state of Virginia recently banned spooky “ghost guns” and gave those of us that already own completed guns or kits until July 7th to get them serialized by an FFL. The law states that the FFL needs to keep a record of the serialization but does not state that it needs to be recorded in their books or that a 4473 needs to be done. Am I correct in thinking that if the FFL offered same day engraving service, the FFL would be the only one with the record of that serial and that record would not be required to be given to the ATF when they closed up shop. I don’t have a problem with the ATF being able to trace a gun back to me if they recover it at a crime or something, but I don’t want it to become a part of a list of guns I own. If I am correct in my understanding, Jeremy do you offer same day engraving services? Maybe the one good thing that will come out of this shit law is an excuse to take a road trip to Jeremy’s shop and rent some machine guns.
Sincerely,
An annoyed Virginian

Question from Karl from Arkansas
Hey guys,
If you could combine an aspect of two firearms manufacturers to create a new one what would they be? For example, I would combine Keltec’s cocaine usage with H&K’s quality; imagine the possibilities.
Best,
Karl
