      Compensator physics question...

      So I'm making a foray into machining my own compensator for a new build because I didn't like what I found on the market... Still fitting the prototype (unfortunately a Glock barrel in battery is not centered in the slide opening, causing my comp to have an offset, if not for that, It would be...

      Buckshot patterning?

      So my last range trip, I took my Mossberg 500 out at the end to check the function and the red dot I'd just put on and get it set... (needs a little adjustment but not bad out of the box). Only shot two rounds because I was mainly function testing since it was a trade gun I hadn't fired yet...

      S&W M&P 2.0 or Sig P320?

      Eyeballing another 9mm, love my CZ clone, but thinking of dipping a toe into the polymer world (other than a polymer 80% frame project I have). Wanting either an M&P 2.0 5" 9mm (the CORE has also caught my eye but don't think they'll fit the Vortex reflex sights), or a Sig P320, preferrably the...

      Shotgun build and related issues... "Full Nasty"

      Not sure where to put this, it was here or Reviews, but since I haven't shot it yet, I didn't feel it was worthy of full "review" status... More a record of the build and the issues I ran into on it... Started off as a Mossberg 500 I got in trade for a customized Mosin (after I test-fired...

      10/22 gunsmithing question...

      So I'm thinking of an Appleseed-style build for a 10/22, and I know what I want but they seem hard to come by so I'm looking at an alternate idea... I'd like to base on one of the Lipseys 10/22 22" sporter barrel models, but they seem to be limited run and always out of stock, I mainly want the...

      WTS: CZ 97B .45 ACP 10+1 01401

      This is the older model, wood grips, no fiber optic front sight (pre-2013 I believe). Bought new from Acme in Seymour. Decided I just prefer shooting my 9's more. 10+1 .45 ACP 4.8" barrel Wood grips Black Polycoat Original Box and paperwork included. 1 unopened Box of Hornady ZombieMax JHP ammo...

      WTS: Pair of Mosin-Nagants, same year.

      Trying to consolidate calibers and just not enough time to take everything out and shoot when I go... Pair of Mosins, both 1937, one Tula, one Izzy. Tula is numbers matching and stock stripped and refinished with Linseed Oil. Izzy was force matched, and started to be sporterized, stock cut and...

      WTS: Pair of Lee-Enfield No1 MkIII, SMLE

      Not really enjoying my surplus rifles as much as I used to, and little time for restoration/upgrades. Also decided to try to cut down on calibers again... These were obtained on my C&R FFL, so buyer info will be needed for disposition in my book. Thanks! Have ran 10 rounds through each, no...

      WTS: Sig P6 9mm, custom grips + holster

      SOLD $475 Selling Sig P6 9mm, approx. 200 rounds through by me. Slide date August '96. No problems, never had any FTF or FTE, just decided to go with something else. Very minor holster wear. Comes with custom Marschal grips, Sig Sauer on one side, P6 on the other, seen in photos, original...

      Looking for a new OC/CC pistol, thoughts and info needed...

      So currently when I carry it's a Sig P6 with Marschall grips, and there's a definite lack of holsters available, even with the re-intro of the P225 (right now the only option I really like is StealthGear)... So I'm weighing other options... Bersa Thunder 380 Combat, shot my dad and sister's...

      Check your ammo! Lesson learned, no harm, this time.

      Went out shooting Thursday at our property with a friend of mine. Shot my 10/22 build to check some scope issues. Shot my new Enfield to see how it did (brass buttplates suck). Shot my AR SBR. Moved on to handguns and shot my Witness. Uneventful day so far... Friend went to shoot her LC9...

      Mauser/Geha shotguns

      For some reason here lately I've gotten the itch to get my hands on one of the Mauser/Geha shotgun conversions. I was checking them out a few years back and prices seem to have gone up... And I'd rather be able to check something out in person which I can't on Gunbroker... Anyone know any...

      Project completion pending!

      The good ol' USPS should be delivering my new 2 Stage Kidd 10/22 trigger sometime today... I'm excited! :rockwoot: The last piece of the puzzle. (For functionality, scope rings on the way as well...)

      Mil-Surplus rifle guys... Saw something odd today...

      So today I was bored and seeing what I could stumble onto (nothing apparently), but did find something strange at the local pawn shop... Was seeing what they had in older surplus rifles and the guy handed me a Steyr-Mannlicher in 8x56R... And told me it was not fireable... For some reason...

      Class III license myth, or truth?

      Trying to separate fact from fiction here... I'm assuming fiction, but want to get the real scoop... Was told this at a local pawn shop by their FFL holder... And I've gotten some whoppers in the past... Such as machining your own 80% lower is highly illegal... And MSRP for (obviously) used...

      Shotgun guys: Mossberg 5500 Mk II

      Looking at swinging a trade for a Mossberg 5500 MKII, but tried doing some research and not finding much out there... Seems like it was a short lived model, is there any part interchangeability with current models? I was thinking about a HD gun that I could swap out barrels for...

      Form 1 frustration...

      So I finally got my Form 1 submitted, over a month ago... Check cleared my bank on June 5. Called to check status today, was told there was nothing in the system, and transferred up the line to a Scott Robinson, and had to leave a voicemail... Anyone else had something like that happen? Was...

      School me, .223 vs. .300 AAC SBR?

      So I've been getting ready to submit a Form 1 for an SBR, and been doing some shopping for parts, and realized that it's a LOT more reasonable (price AND availability) to get a 12.5" .300 AAC barrel than a 12.5" .223/5.56 barrel... Good thing I haven't submitted or gotten signatures... Lower...

      Form 1 photo format question...

      About to jump in finally and fill out my first Form 1 (SBR). Question on the passport photo required... Does it have to be an actual photo, on photo paper, or can I print out a color photo in the required format on normal paper and affix it? Hate to get tripped up or delayed on something silly...
