umm Jordan and Turkey have adopted it. I will buy into sales to Turkey with their secular govt but NOT Jordan-should be a ban on sales to them.

Anything under .50 is transferred through any ffl.

RJay · 10-12-2012, 02:21 PM

That would be just the thing for long range squirrel shooting.

JLA · 10-12-2012, 08:25 PM

Actually anything .50 cal and under. Anything over .50 cal, unless its a muzzle loader or shotgun, is considered a destructive device and requires a destructive device permit.

Speaking of the CheyTac. check out the .338 SnipeTac.

Man that is a LONG shot. From the look of the optics from the site- you would need such ops plus a calcuator to figure wind etc???

What is the cost of that thing?? Did not see a price or it is a one of??

JLA · 10-13-2012, 07:56 PM

Not sure. Its commercially available. Stuart had a couple of rounds in the shop about this time last year. I think he was contemplating a build but i aint heard if he ever did or not. He had just dumped $3K in a .300 TEJAS build on a montana rifle action. Dunno why He never asked me to build him a rifle. Heck id a done it at cost for him..
