1968 amnesty poster

[xryan.jacksonx]

So I've always hear that there might be a few hand grenades in the registry from '68. I would guess they are GI bring backs from WWII. Any evidence of this actually happening? As mentioned in another thread, at this point they probably aren't stable.

I'm sorry, I had to giggle a little bit - the GIs or the grenades?

(NO disrespect intended - both grandfathers were WWII vets.)

Fascinating poster - a real part of gun history.

Tagging this, awaiting word of when we can put our orders in.

Cant new destructive devices be built and registered? Couldnt you in theory just do the paperwork and build a grenade. Good luck getting materials, and it would be a very wasteful way to spend $200, but I dont see why they would have to be left over from '68.

New DD can definitely be added to the registry. I just think it would be very difficult to convince an explosives manufacturer to give you some, even with the stamp.

Did these get printed yet? I won't be able to make it in until Thursday because of exams today, tomorrow, and Wednesday (fun, right?).

 

[BigMoose]

Yep that is it, and they were supposed to do more of them, but didn't. And they didn't do much more but stick these in few courthouses with stuff no one else ever reads

 

[curraheeguns]

Proof is finished and ready for my inspection today.

 

[scottka]

Thanks. Good deal. Keep us updated.

 

[curraheeguns]

Here is the proof, looked GREAT!!! It is on thicker paper then I expected, I hope it isn't a shipping problem.

The poster appears aged just like my original, I actually thought it was my original until I touched it and picked it up and then realized it was the repro.

Looks great! Can't wait to pick one up.

Awesome. Any idea when they will be up on the website?

 

[scottka]

I'm planning on coming down Friday or Saturday to give the range a whirl for the first time. Any chance you'll have some printed up by then?

It looks awesome by the way!

^^^^^this ill be there saturday morning with my pops and would love to pic one up

 

[curraheeguns]

I really have no idea on finished product time line. It took them about a week and a half to get me a proof, but if it is next up in line it could be by this weekend.

I will have them at the shop the day they are finished.

Ohhh and btw....before someone *****es about $5 a poster. Here is a thread I found from 2004 where a guy was selling reprints for $20 or 3/$50.

Those are actually the two examples I came across before starting this thread.

 

[scottka]

Heck, I thought $5 was a steal. No complaining here. Thanks for getting this done for us!

 

[PiccoloPlayer]

Want

 

[SideArmed]

Definitely not complaining. Just wondering if they will be up on the website before they are sold out.
