Unfinished kits - is destruction an alternative?

[Malf]

If you currently have a handful of 80% kits that were bought many years ago and you know they cant be finished before March 2023 can you just destroy the kits? I dont see anything that specifically details destruction as an alternative to not possess eventually banned items. I am thinking melting and maybe selling the aluminum to a metal recycler or shredding a polymer kit? Thanks.

Sell them online such as Guns International. Why destroy them when you can get some money for them?

SELL them to some of us here in free America.

If you are going to destroy them to make them go away get a receipt from the scrap metal guy:-)

Why not get them serialized and finish them later?

This, or fvck MD do what you want. You bought a legal item now they say it is illegal. I so want to see the first case against someone with an 80% that is not finished.

Makes no sense at all to destroy unless you're virtue-signalling

*****I'm not destroying shit. I can serialize them or just build them.

What you got? I live in America

 

[MeatGrinder]

How about you just store them out of state?

 

[Threeband]

Unglaublich.

In French, this object is called a "Cachè"


Translated into English, it means "Boating Accident"

Is that red device a test plug?

Is that red device a test plug?

Ha!. I was going to ask the same question.

 

[Doctor_M]

See, the thing about untraceable gun parts, is... get this... they are untraceable. Don't say nothin' and there won't be nothin'.

 

[whistlersmother]

Yes, the red thing is a plug/tester. I would actually use two. And mount a screw cap/adapter at one end. That end also gets an "inside plug/tester" so that the contents can be accessed without cutting the pipe.

Might be a little suspicious of the OP, of course we all follow the law, and would never realize that the only way the MSP could prove an 80% was manufactured after the cutoff date was an incriminating manufacture date, time stamped photo or video of milling. Could also get them serialized now and mill them "before" the cutoff date. Of course it would be horrible to build it after the law and leave the MSP stuck with no way to prove an unlawful manufacturing date especially when you have a receipt from years ago when the kit was purchased lawfully. Personally every 80% I buy is milled in a completely lawful way and stored for later use, every receiver is first built as a pistol, despite some later being temporarily converted to a rifle.
