Adjam5 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well, visiting Texas the last 7 years has put a MAJOR bug in my bonnet. So big a bug that I bought land there and am part of a Trust set up by by cousin who lives cross the road from my land. The Trust allows us to buy suppressors, SBR's(short barreled rifles) and if we could afford one some day, machine guns. We have a few cans so to speak now, but none in 30 cal. We have a Silencerco Harvester on order. It takes 3-5 mos for the paperwork to clear ATFE and you to get actual possession of the item. But the beauty of the trust is we only have to pay the $200 Tax stamp once for each item purchased and the trust owns the items listed on it, like a company. As long as the trust stays active we can add and remove people without paying any extra fees and not needing the sheriff to sign off on the Class 3 purchase(s). So...with these purchase looming. I had to get ready for what I can own LEGALLY own here in NY and be able to use when I go and eventually move to Texas. Got myself a special Run of a H&R Handi Rifle done by Advanced Armament Corp in .300 AAC Blackout. Rifle has a threaded 16.25"barrel and is super small, just within legal size for a rifle. . I upgraded the stock to a Boyds and man does it look pretty now. Topped it with a SWFA PEPR mount and a Millet DMS-1 Scope with donut reticle. The .300 BO caliber was designed to burn all of its powder in a 7-9" barrel. So it was basically invented for suppressor and SBR use. Bullet weights range from 100-220 grains. The 220's are PERFECT for suppressor use and hunting. These rifles are legal 16.25" bbls and do not need to be registered as SBR's. Before the stock change. After the stock change. The second is TC Encore in .223. Had the bbl cut to 16.25" and threaded. I am on the hunt for a .300 BO barrel for the Encore. Keep your eyes open for one for me. The single shot is perfect for suppressor use. The gas has nowhere to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Great looking guns, always room for "just one OR two more"....lol Edited April 8, 2016 by Mathews XT Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Look good, like the laminated stock. Be sure to post more pics after you get suppressors and the encore scoped. That is interesting about a trust Anthony. Never knew that, looked it up and found out the trust deal is pretty reasonable to set up. Never really had the bug for any single shots, been told several times that the nef handi rifles are great for kids but have always gone straight to a bolt gun for kids hunting. Was on a new gun a year plan here, but have fallen a bit behind. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Suppressor use is whole new world William. The fact of not having to wear ear protection when shooting is a great attraction. Also when hunting and shooting you are being as least intrusive to woods as possible when you shoot. There is still a big thump when the bullet hits the hog or animal shot at. I am glad you looked in to trust. Easy and cheap. This is where my cousin and I set ours up. https://silencerco.com/nfa-trust/ But if your looking into doing it. Do it soon. Because the rules will be changing soon. After July1st all NFA trustees and Settlors will have to be finger printed and pictures given to the ATFE when changes and additions are made to the trust. I too was never into single shots. But with being exposed to silencers and SBR's has taught me that those type rifles are the most effective when suppressing fire. I just yesterday bought another threaded barrel in .300 Blackout for my Encore from www.MatchGradeMachine.com. This bug has bitten me hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 That silencerco was the place I looked at Anthony. Got a few projects going on here now, will eventually get around to getting some pics and a post up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Suppressor use is whole new world William..... Anthony as a fellow NYer I have no idea what language you were talking in, but the rifles look great! went up to Maine and found out they ditched a pistol permit all together. Had a whole display section for Sig Sauer. cabinet of silencers, extended mags and all kinds of good stuff. thought I was going to get cuffed and stuff just for looking at them though. sounds like Texas move is only getting better for you. much different than NYC.

Adjam5 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks Ron...Yup when we leave NYS it is a whole different world regarding firearms and freedoms. I cannot wait to tell Coumo where to go Got my custom barrel in 300 BO! It came the other day. I am shopping glass for it. I am torn about going with a Nikon P-300 made for the 300 BO , a Leupold Rifleman or VX1, or a Ziess Terra 3x9x42. The Ziess ia about a $100 more than the others but it is a Ziess. I am looking forward to breaking in this barrel and getting a can on it when I get back down to Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
