[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1528315, member: 204"] I do not know why you say you are "suprised at the attitudes of people here, many of whom also say Μολὼν λαβέ". I do not see where anyone has said that nor told you not to pursue this if you feel so strong about it. I said that I hope you can actually pull it off and wished you luck. I think you are taking offense at folks who meant you none. As for your letter, it looks very well written and makes very good points. Again, I wish you well with this and would ask that you post whatever reply you receive from ATF, but it may be a while before they respond. My skeptisim stems from the many letter I have seen folks write over the years and the results that they got. At one time Olympic Arms was offering to rebuild any full auto lowers that they made if the owner wanted a new one. They did this several times and then someone wrote a letter to ATF asking why other manufacturers couldn't do this. Next thing you know ATF stopped Olympic Arms from doing this and now several registered receiver owners are in possesion of questionable weapons that no one wants to buy since they figure ATF may come around and confiscate them. Lots of good that letter did.
