[FPC News] FPC AND FPCAF WIN: Fifth Circuit Denies Government Attempt to Reinstate A
<p><strong>NEW ORLEANS, LA</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">July 24, 2</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">023) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) announced that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the federal government’s attempt to completely stay the district court’s decision in </span><a href="https://www.firearmspolicy.org/vanderstok"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">VanDerStok v. Garland</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which vacated ATF’s unlawful “frame or receiver” rule. This decision, which the Fifth Circuit stayed for 10 days, prevents ATF from enforcing the rule’s “regulatory definitions of ‘frame or receiver’ and ‘firearm’ as applied to the Gun Control Act of 1968,” while allowing the (non-challenged) remainder of the rule to be enforced while ATF appeals the district court Order.

Hello, I just registered here after I saw Rampy post the link over on the armory page (I was adair_usmc over there), but I saw no posts here so I figured I would start this section off showing off my newest rifle.
I normally hunt with one of my many Ruger no. 1 rifles but they have been getting a bit heavy for me, and with my bad shoulder they have been a pain to carry when doing 10-15 miles a day chasing after elk. This year with my move to Idaho I decided I was going to get me a new lightweight rifle, and I settled on the seekins precision havak element.
I was all set to go 28 nosler, which I have wanted to get into for years, but the barrel life of that round has always been a turnoff. Since its release last year however, the 7mm PRC caught my attention as being probably the better choice between the two for what I want to use it for. Seekins rifles in that caliber have been unobtanium, but after setting up stock alerts everywhere, Eurooptic finally came through.
Anyways, here it is, a brand new Seekins Havak Element in 7mm PRC, with a Leupold VX6HD 3-18 scope with illuminated TMOA reticle, Seekins rings, Titanium self timing brake, and a red kettle sling. total weight is 7.6lbs
Have a 3” Python waiting for me at home and I’ve been researching wood grips, going to carry it concealed and want some good grips but not tacky rubber (at least for now)
[FPC News] FPC and FPCAF Fight Back Against Government Attempt to Reinstate ATF’s
<p><strong>NEW ORLEANS, LA</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">July 21, 2</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">023) – Yesterday, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) filed a brief opposing the federal government’s </span><a href="https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicycoalition/pages/6573/attachments/original/1689706631/VanDerStok_v_Garland_Motion_for_Stay_Pending_Appeal.pdf?1689706631"><span style="font-weight: 400;">motion</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for a stay pending appeal in </span><a href="https://www.firearmspolicy.org/vanderstok"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">VanDerStok v.
