*Glock 22 40 caliber REVOLVER??
*Glock Model 27 45 (it is supposed to be a 40)
*Browning B799 (it should be a BT-99) 12 ga
This wouldn't be a big deal, but...the ATF is shutting down gun dealers for minor paperwork errors...
Ryan found something about this story that further illustrates the double standard that is BATFU.
Here's a link to download the spreadsheet in question. It's not clear if this was taken directly from what was reported or input independently, but you'd think they'd make a note to that effect...assuming anyone even noticed.
It's not just Glocks, look at line 96. Since when did Remington make a model 700 in 9mm?
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently they're too lazy to learn how Excel works when auto-formatting certain inputs. There are five entries in the Ruger section where the Model is listed as 22-Oct, instead of 10/22.
Glock Model 22, Serial # DAV631US
ReplyDeleteIs that even a valid serial number?
Somebody shut em down!

ReplyDeleteThe G-22 with the weird serial number might be a Smyrna rebuild, and I can see how the BATFU was running around confused after learning that the GLOCK 27 was chambered for the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge and prolly figured it was a mistake and took it from there.
ReplyDeleteEvery local cop I've spoken with refers to his sidearm as a Glock Forty, and I doubt that a one of them outside of the armorer knows anything about model numbers. It has been my experience that the LAST person one should speak with concerning firearms information is law enforcement or ANY government agency not affiliated with the military.
