Northern Minnesota Gunsmithing- By Appointment Only

08/18/2026

So, it seems to be a trend this year for people to not pay their invoice and just walk out if my shop with their fi****ms… any by trend I mean it’s happened twice now. I’ve taken the necessary steps and reported those individuals but it now has me nervous to accept cash payment. I’m beginning to think that an electronic invoice paid before the fi****ms are removed from the safe will need to be mandatory. 🤷

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Fi****ms Act (NFA) no longer applies to suppressors and other items whose taxes were reduced to $0 in July 2025.

United States District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, a Trump appointee, granted a motion for summary judgement from attorneys representing the Silencer Shop Foundation Wednesday. In the 66-page opinion, Hendrix said that because taxes on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and other items had been reduced to $0 by legislation signed by President Donald Trump in July 2025, the registration and paperwork imposed by the NFA exceeded Congress’ authority under the taxation power.

Another firearm customized! A Browning BPS 10ga that had some roughed up plastic has been refreshed with some custom Cerakote colors and stenciling.

Final assembly complete… well, as soon as I put the recoil pad on the stock. 😬

This is composite furniture that had seen better days, still has the scars but looks better while carrying them.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

I know I’ll be there… It’s going to be an amazing time. I’m hoping to win that Scorpius Suppressor with serial #1776. 😏

And another one done… this one with color ratios a bit different than I’m used to seeing. 25/25/50.
