Reply #79: The law is STUPID...and extremely easy to defeat

[virginia mountainman]

Mostly a repost from late last year....

Look at these photo I just took, it is of a bolt of an SKS semi automatic rifle, (it was handy to the computer here in the living room, to be CLEANED) You can see CLEARLY the bolt face (the part that comes into contact with the round, the extractor (the "claw" on the upper left and side of the bolt face), and the firing pin in the middle, it is being pushed out, by my finger on the backside of the bolt itself

The firing pin and extractor is EASILY removable with a hammer and a small screwdriver (to be crude) or a hammer and a brass drift (to do it the proper way without marring the surface).

Now tell me, What is to stop me from taking ANY common metal file, or even a piece of scrap steel, and simply scratching the surfaces of the bolt face, the extractor, and bolt face???

I figure, with a small triangular file, I could "deface the micro stamping" in less than 20 seconds.



Or I could simply ORDER some new parts...

Also keep in mind, Many firearms would be EASIER to "de-microstamp" than the ol SKS Carbine.

Not to mention, that these parts, are considered "wear" items and extractors, and firing pins DO break..and they do wear, The micro stamping would be lucky to survive, 100 rnds,even without the help of the file. So if you make it a crime to "deface" the stamps, you will basically make everyone a criminal as their guns wear....But that is the intent, right??!?!!? Everyone a felon!

BTW, that sound you hear, is the Locomotive that just crashed thru the micro stamping argument...

Now please present arguments to the contrary.... If only anit's would learn a LITTLE bit about firearms, you would not be so easy to maul in debate. But their again, when they do learn a little, they tend NOT to be an anti gun anymore.
