Finders fee?

[Deadon]

There's a thread in general gun discussion where some folks are airing some unhappy experiences with VA, including their surprise closing for inventory. Anyways, hopefully it works out for you.

Depending on how far you want to go, you may have better luck finding a FFL that will allow you to install the SSE kit on the gun before starting DROS. They are far and few, but they exist - I remember one member here who would single action exempt off roster S&W revolvers by doing the work himself. You'd have to provide the SSE kit yourself in that case.

If money is not an object, there's the expense of finding a dummy barrel to get an extension welded onto (EFK makes aftermarket 5.7 barrels, so it may be possible to ask them for an unrifled and unfinished barrel), as well as fabricating a magazine/breech block (the one I remember using for my 1911 just consisted of some plastic parts held together with an allen screw).

Idea is, once you score the gun, you should have enough time to come up with some SSE parts.

Thanks man. Im pretty good with building stuff. I dont mind buying the parts or blocking a Mag for the SSE. Ill have to talk to some FFL's.

Where are you located? The FFL I deal with would probably be willing to help out.

Talk to Ehren at Golden Bear Arms, really good guy. He's in El Dorado Hills. I've bought a few guns & some lowers from him. If you got the parts together I'm guessing he'd be willing to do the SSE. http://www.goldenbeararms.com/

Does anyone know how many inches the barrel must be for SSE I forgot. I have a buddy that can make me one he said just for the cause!
