  • Another ATF WTF?

    So apparently smoke grenades (not the shit you get from the fireworks stand) are regulated items. At least the milspec ones.

          So have I.

          Tried to buy a case straight from manufacturers and from distributors. No go as of November unless you have LEO/Govt letterhead for purchase as a DD with $200 tax. The fuzes have supposedly been placed on the ATF explosive list.

          Guess there's always gun broker for the timebeing.

              David does magic shows for kids at the hospital, his grand finale is making an m113 disappear.

                        You will need at least one of them for a tactical retreat.

                          Why are they regulated? You can still buy a 40mm launcher attachment for an AR AND it's not a "destructive device."

                            From what Ive gathered it's one of the chemicals in the fuze the atf recently put on the explosives list or something. Apparently there's another fuze with different chemicals to be sold to civilians.
