True, but once you are into the kit like a JK Armament one you’re double the cost of a .22 can + stamp. Is there another kit? I never really looked for .22 kits.

Only one? Number 7 just went in jail a month or so ago. :D

It’s not so much about the cost as it is the ability to have your can in hand in quickly. For a 22lr can, I wouldn’t think twice about going the form-1 route.

I say don't do it unless it's some kind of emergency.

Because of this.
And the dip is not something I want to deal with.

Coincidently I found them this weekend. Seems like they wont ship until you have a Form1 approved which is rather annoying. Im thinking of getting a .22 and 9mm kit from them.
