RobertoDuran121 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Would it be legal to make visco fuse?Does it count as an explosive or get regulated by the 'Book'?I'm just curious if I am gonna have my machine in pieces when not being used.Also if my understanding is correct,I can produce a firework without a license as long as it is not transported,sold or stored,so I could make BP,fuse and create a rocket and use it as long as I do it before 24 hours?Thanks
JFeve81 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I don't know about the fuse but it's my understanding that you can make whatever you want ,for your own personal use (depends on local city/state rules), as long as you use it that day. And even then you can keep items longer then 24 hours as long as you have proper storage per ATF guidelines.
RobertoDuran121 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks,that's pretty much what I got from it too.
Poindexter Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 My read of the US federal regs is I can make for personal use all the BP I can burn (for personal, cultural, and sporting purposes) as long as I never have more than 50# in stock at any one time, no license required. I need to have a magazine for storage at some point long before I get to 50# in inventory. I am not sure of the line on the maximum quantity I can have on hand without a magazine. I know I can go to Cabelas and buy 49# of BP substitute with no reason to think I would need a magazine at home for it- other than common sense. Same with modern smokeless powders - at some point common sense dictates some kind of storage locker. My read of the federal regs is I would need a magazine to store my homemade BP if I have even 1 milligram of it on hand. If I am correct that visco is just BP stuck in a cloth tube, I would think it would count as any other home made Bp and could be stored in a personal magazine for personal use more or less indefinitey. Subject to never having more than 50# in inventory.... And know your local laws too.
Arthur Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Consider the space that you have! 17th floor of a tower may bring different reactions from house on an acre! Making visco is usually more a pain than buying it.
