So I have a buddy (no names as parties are hopefully still working this out) who decided to shoot his SilencerCo Omega at an indoor range. As he was shooting the ASR mount failed and sent the suppressor down range. When he went to tell the employees what happened and to ask for a cease fire to recover the suppressor, their response was "we're really busy right now, and it's inconvenient for everyone".
They said they would get it for him at the end of the night and he could pick it up the next day. By the time he got it the next day the cover is missing and the suppressor tube has a few dents from getting hit by bullets.
Who do you think should be liable for replacement costs? What about the range taking illegal possession of an NFA Item without receiving it or entering it into their books?
Replacement costs are only a new cover (never recovered), $200 tax stamp, shipping and dealer transfer. So in total it's less than $450, not exactly brand new suppressor cost since SilencerCo is replacing it, but still some costs to replace.
Discuss.
