I'm not giving up on the petition, but I am letting it go for the weekend. Seems like something Trump might support if he really is a 2A ally.
Someone started one on the 20th. One of the Instagram accounts I follow posted a link today, it's up to 670 signitures so far. Here's the link https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/repeal-nfa

NFA has other provisions for explosives and such, so I thought a direct line item approach would be easier to make happen.

It's exactly how we repealed the suppressor ban in MN a couple sessions ago. Just took out the "unlawful" part of the law and the exceptions to who may own them which reversed the meaning of the law without raising too many eyebrows outside of committee level hearings.

NFA is well known to the anti's, so if we whittled away at it we could eventually get to the finish line without a media showdown in the process. After all, that's their playbook against us.

I would say that without a doubt, the 6.5 Creedmoor has been the most popular cartridge out there for several years running now!
300 Blk. has a fairly large following..., but it's still somewhat of a "niche" cartritdge...., although the "niche" is growing!!

Isn't there some sort of deal between TC and JDJ? I know they made Contender barrels in 300 whisper but wouldn't do 300blk.

I like 300blk and it's cool that there are so many options now, but I can see why a company might want to go a different direction with new products. The current batch of 6.5 cartridges are not a bad piece of the market. Where the 300blk is an expanding niche, it's still a narrow niche compared to the long range, low recoil rifle market.

My next rifle will be in 6.5 Creedmore.
Can't decide between the Savage Stealth, Ruger PR, Tikka TAC, and a Begara. That and about $900-$1,600 is holding me back! :cry:
