Huh? I made a statement 3 years ago now that Vucic the Serbian President was rejecting western vaccines and only allowing the Chinese version in his country. Not to mention cozying up to Putin and having little respect for the ethnic Albanians of Kosovo... the writing was on the wall for an import ban. They just did it themselves. It will be renewed when the 30 days are up. Book it.

Any bolt action lovers? Looking to pick one up in the coming months. I have no clue about them, but I want it to be versatile. Long range, hunting, etc.

Not an expert but I have had some fun shooting them. I pretty much use my AR-15 16” to hunt here.

Some 5 stamp Friday action 
EDIT: Just got approval for my YHM R9 and your boy is ecstatic. My last pending NFA item and now im 100% dry again but we’ll see how long that lasts. 141 days from pending to approved which is the shortest form 4 ive ever had. Happy Friday NT Brethren!

Thoughts on FN Reflex?

That Monday jailbreak feel! No current pending NFA items, feels goodman
It's an internal hammer, not striker, so the trigger is gonna be different than a typical striker fired.
(Actually, to my knowledge I've never even seen, let alone fired, even dry, an internal hammer. I guess the lcp 2 was the closest?)
It's way thinner than the 509 apparently, but I learned that it doesn't have ambi controls like the 509. (To be slimmer)
That's all I really heard, it's fairly new, so not alot out yet unfortunately.
I really like the 509 I have although unrelated lol

I dabble a little bit…mine is strictly a long range capable toy. Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor with a heavy contour 26” barrel in a KRG bravo stock/chassis. Vortex PST II 3-15x in (lawd forgive me) monstrum tactical pro rings. Those rings are actually really solid for the price.
Understand LR and hunting guns don’t have much in common. Most hunting rifles are 7 lbs, have 22-24 inch lightweight barrels with no muzzle break and a 3-4 magazine. This makes sense for the purpose of walking around the woods, with the potential for a handful of shots over a period of time.
A long range rifle will generally have barrel lengths 24-28 inch long, heavy barrel contour to resist heat impacting the bullet. They’re often in aluminum chassis with all sorts of weights and widgets added, using standard pattern 10-12 round magazines, often coming in at 16 lbs plus. Mine with optic weighs in around 12-13 lbs. most LR shooters are using highly effective (and loud) muzzle brakes or silencers for further reduction in sight picture.
If you wanted to split the difference, the Sig Cross seems like it would be a solid choice. It has a heavier contour (16” or 18”) barrel, folding stock, magazine fed, and only weighs about 7ish lbs. my LGS has had one for a while and I like to rifle it every now and then. I’ve read about issues with earlier cross from about 2 years ago, and haven’t really kept up with them.

I’m waiting on a can submitted 1/26. I had 2 from 10/26 finally get approval 6/17 and 7/3.
Also, got approval last week for some form 1’s filed under the brace rule. I filed mine via trust and it took 13 weeks.
All that to say, ATF does whatever they feel like whenever they feel like it.

I like the 509 as well. Was just trying to get a gauge between reflex and the 509c tact
Kinda two different animals
The reflex is FNs second attempt at a micro compact after the 502 (or whatever the single stack was)
Not sure what the methodology behind an internal hammer vs striker
The tactical, on the other hand, is intended as a "compact duty" role but primary shines and was designed for suppressed use
Apparently sage dynamics helped design it.....
I'd personally grab the tactical if its an either or decision; its optics ready in addition to having suppressor height sights and a threaded barrel out of the box
While nice, the reflex just seems super random to me. Again, the ambi controls are my favorite aspect of the 509.

Go tactical for sure. It was my dream gun at one point. I grabbed it and never looked back. Grabbed a can for it too. FN usually does mag promos for it around this time.

What can you running on the 509,
Velle47
?
I got a normal 509c in a trade + cash for the evo that I used to post in here lol
(for clarity,
creamincfoe
I'd get the normal 509 tactical NOT THE COMPACT. If I had any actual gripe it'd be that I have the normal compact not a normal tactical if that makes any sense. I don't like grip extensions although FNs are the best ive personally handled)
Ideally I'd like to get a threaded barrel and run a can I just don't wanna go down that rabbit hole right now lol
