Ammo is like food
A guy on the ARF got a form one for a grenade pretty cool it can be done but can't belive someone would pay $200 for something that goes bang one time
how much for the stamp?
if the person can afford it.. why not.. some people shoot $5 a shot and spend hours at the range...
everyone flamed him so much on there thats a anonymous benifery paid for everything just to show people it could be done
How would you even ship one? Fedex?
Edit: I found the thread. He's building his own and already assigned it a serial number.
80% grenades...anyone?

I thought some DD's such as grenades were exempt from the serial number requirements.
26 U.S. Code § 5842 - Identification of firearms:
(a) Identification of firearms other than destructive devices Each manufacturer and importer and anyone making a firearm shall identify each firearm, other than a destructive device, manufactured, imported, or made by a serial number which may not be readily removed, obliterated, or altered, the name of the manufacturer, importer, or maker, and such other identification as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe.
(b) Firearms without serial number Any person who possesses a firearm, other than a destructive device, which does not bear the serial number and other information required by subsection (a) of this section shall identify the firearm with a serial number assigned by the Secretary and any other information the Secretary may by regulations prescribe.
(c) Identification of destructive device Any firearm classified as a destructive device shall be identified in such manner as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe.
Exceptions:
Destructive devices. In the case of a destructive device, the Director may authorize other means of identifying that weapon upon receipt of a letter application from you, submitted in duplicate, showing that engraving, casting, or stamping (impressing) such a weapon would be dangerous or impracticable.
You know $200 use to be what a few weeks or months salary in 1934. Now its a few hours or days work. My bet is that we are about to see more inflation in the future as we pay off SS with cheaper and cheaper money. That $200 will be like an hours work eventually. Then we can have all the hand grenades for just the trouble of some paperwork... and what probably a 3 year wait at that point!
I'm kind of interested in submitting a stamp to make one.. Just to have, then only build it when I intend to use it. I would hate to have one hanging around the house.. LOL
