If not mounting it on a rifle there is no way I would buy a scope. Look at ATN if you are just looking to spot and ID things. Probably can do what you need for less than a grand. They have a refurbished section on their website.

Nice choice, the XC is really nice to shoot. I wish Staccato would let us dealers handle Heroes program sales. Enjoy!

Finally got a lever 30-30, 1967 centennial model, never shot. I wanted an octagon barrel model, didn't care about much else. Some old person bought a few for prolly $75 back then, sold them to Cabela's for prolly $7-750 each, a $1 in 1967 is worth $10 today, what a great investment! I will prolly shoot it this weekend.

Those of you that submitted form1 for the 2021R-08F ATF brace ban...


My understanding is you won't receive the email with the fingerprint cover letter until it goes into "SUBMITTED/PENDING" status, is this correct?

Mine immediately went into "PENDING RESEARCH" and has been there for a month, and I haven't received the email with the cover letter. Its making me a little nervous.

If you didn't do EFT's when you submitted the form then you're going to get denied. You have 10 business days to get your paper prints to the ATF after submission. You should have received and email with the cover letter within 12 hours of submitting.

That's where I'm confused, ATF says 10 days from submission, but another place says you wont receive the cover letter for fingerprints until it goes into submitted/pending status. Of course calling them you just sit on hold for ever.

From the National Gun Trusts website;

"When applying for a tax stamp using the ATF's eForm website, you will be required to submit your fingerprint cards to the ATF within 10 business days of your application going into the SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS status. In order to submit your fingerprint cards to the ATF you will need the cover letter. The cover letter has information that is specific to your application and is how the ATF links your fingerprints cards to your specific application. You may not have received your cover letter for a few reasons. If your tax stamp application is in the PENDING RESEARCH phase, you won't receive your cover letter from the ATF until your application is changed to the

SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS status."

Weird, I've never seen a submission go straight to "Pending Research". Hopefully it works out in your favor but knowing the ATF....

Anyone here have experience with the Staccato CS?

Recently brought to my attention as a potential addition to the collection but when I saw the price tag, accompanied by the fact that you can't get your hands on one for showroom / inspection purposes (at least in my general area) , gives me pause to simply order one, sight unseen.

If you have real world experience with this intriguing weapon, I'm interested in your thoughts around it.

TIA.

Happy days, free SBR stamp approved this morning on my .300 pistol (took at little less than two months for approval). Wasted no time removing the pistol brace I never liked anyway, replaced with new tube and Magpul adjustable stock. She’s done! If anyone else is waiting on the approval, hope you get it soon!

[bagekko]

I will get a Staccato P 5" DLC Ice Comp etc. soon, was going to buy one few months ago but got a great deal on a Mark 23 & other things. I am fortunate to live in a state where I can fondle pretty much everything out there, which is a good & bad thing. Bad cause when I touch it then I usually want it, which is how I just picked up a Beretta 80x Cheetah Launch.

Earlier this year at Modern Warriors in St George I think they had 10+ Staccatos in stock, which was great to decide which one I wanted. Never heard a bad thing except for the sticker shock.

Well said! The sticker shock is what lead me to post my question. A 9mm pistol for almost 3K made me stagger, lol.
I'm very similar to you, though... maybe it's a good thing I don't currently have the option feel one out, because I'm the type to just ignore the price if I truly enjoy a first hand / in person experience.

[bagekko]

We'll the one I want is $2k cheaper than the $5k Atlas Titan I fondled the other day.....lol

Yeah once you see & touch it first hand, you will want it. Before going to MW & figuring what I wanted, I was on the fence, after touching and selecting one I wanted I was like give me a deal to take this home now. Staccato pricing is pretty firm, but some places will do a $2-400 gift card with purchase every so often which is what I am waiting for, or if you can get heroes pricing direct from Staccato.

Congrats.

My free individual one from January was approved in April. My trust one from February and individual one from May are still pending.

Expecting a Platypus in the next week and hopefully the XC by end of next month.

This arrived yesterday. 15 cases of ammo that I didn't order. I ordered 5000 rounds of Speer 147gr TMJ and 10000 rounds of 125gr TMJ. I got 15000 rounds of American Eagle 147gr FMJ.

Thanks, good luck on the pending ones, and jeeeeeze!

How do you even go about correcting that? Shipping must have been a ton of $$$.

[Donatello.]

Looks like I am consolidating calibers again. Letting my PS90 and PSA Rock 5.7 go.

I had reached out to the ATF asking about when I'll receive the email with the cover letter and I finally got a reply on Saturday confirming I need to wait for it to reach submitted status, and now this morning my status changed to submitted and I got the email.

Coincidence?

[chowser51]

Person that responded probably went to check your status and fixed whatever was holding it up.


Son’s Mass Effect inspired Platypus arrived today.

[chowser51]

Quick update. Grip gets slippery after sweating for awhile. Gotta rethink this chainlink pattern. Glad he opted for the finger grooves.

We went through 6 different shooters today with it and only shot 500 rds. All using OEM Glock mags with various baseplates and stock baseplates. No issues at all. Everything fed and shot fine. Ammo today was Winchester USA9NATO 9mm 124gr FMJ.

Tomorrow night, my son and I will run 500 rounds through it. 300 rds of Federal 147gr FMJ and 200 rounds of Federal 147gr HST-JHP.

Form 1 came back so installed the 13in barrel and swapped out the LPVO for an Acog/RMR combo. My favorite setup so far

I can't have one of those. If I was to salt shoot the rare fly or moth that gets in the house the cats would riot and pillage. Living things are THEIRS.

What sling are you running?
I'm not completely content with my sling set up on my SCAR, like I am with my AR.

Your SCAR sling configuration looks like it would meet my intent better than mine does now.
