    Charles Daly 601 Truetimber

    Just bought this Charles Daly for $250 Brand new. Deal seemed too good to pass up. Hopefully it'll work well as a duck gun

    Applying for an FFL

    So for awhile, I've considered getting a standard FFL to sell firearms on the side. Right now I have a C&R FFL for myself, but would like to try dealing since I know a lot of people who always ask me what they should buy or what I think of a certain firearm. Right now, I'm work full-time as a...

    Bought an RCBS 502 scale from flea market

    So went to the flea market and saw an RCBS 502 scale on the shelf. There was no price on it, so I offered $5..... And now it's mine! It didn't come with the pan though, but for $5, I'm sure I can splurge for a pan. So, I made an excellent purchase today. Worth it.

    Carrying concealed in PA

    Ok, so my family and I are planning a week long trip to PA next year. I currently live in Maine and cannot find anything that says my permit is honored in PA. Officially, PA and ME do not have a reciprocity agreement, however on the PA attorney general's website it cites: "The Commonwealth of...

    Purposeful misinformation

    So the wife and I just finished watching a television series on Netflix, called Ozark. In episode 9 I believe, the (13 year old)son of the protagonist sends his friend who's of age to purchase a firearm on his behalf. Now, this friend is a bit slow, perhaps borderline mentally handicapped...

    Mold forming on guns in safe.

    So as the title says, a couple guns in my safe will form light mold on the wooden stocks and leather slings. It's a cheap stack on safe in my basement, so it's really no wonder it's happening. I'm looking into buying the small rechargeable dehumidifier to go inside it, as well as an ultraviolet...

    New Reloading/gun room

    So as the title states, it's a new room to reload, house my guns and related gear. My old bench was in my workshop, which is where I turn wood on my lathe. So as you may have guessed, sawdust was EVERYWHERE and on EVERYTHING. Naturally, I didn't particularly care for this, and couldn't keep my...

    Making my dry tumbler into a wet tumbler.

    So I was pondering whether or not I could convert my dry vibratory tumbler into a wet tumbler. The container is pretty much sealed, as it attaches to the base with the center stud, which wouldn't touch the water. Has anyone else thought of this or tried it?

    Bought the 45 Shield

    So I finally received my M&P 45 Shield from PSA. After looking it over, it's obvious that it's been fired, and the barrel wasn't cleaned afterwards either. I'm not sure if it's normal, a QC piece, or a return. But nevertheless, it feels good in the hand, and it's slimmer than my current carry...

    "RCBS" .45 acp die set

    Ok, so while I was browsing my LGS, I came across a used "3 die carbide set" for .45 acp. I opened the box up, and voila! There were 3 dies and a shell holder box. So I looked at the price, $15! So I thought to myself, I'd be stupid NOT to scoop up this deal. So I did, and away I went. When I...

    .45 Shield holster suggestions

    Ok, so I 'pulled the trigger' and bought a S&W shield in .45acp. I'm looking for a holster that is IWB, that sits about 4-5 o'clock. I am currently using a Galco King tuk holster for a Springfield XD9 subcompact. My only issue with the king tuk holster is the rear clip. It gets caught on...

    M&P shield in 45acp or 9mm

    I know this may sound redundant, since there's a similar thread. However, I have zero interest in .40 s&w simply for logistical/ reloading reasons. As of now, I carry a Springfield XDs subcompact in 9mm. I bought it for my wife to carry, but I didn't care to carry my full size 1911 anymore, so...

    7.62x54R low pressure

    OK, so last Sunday I fired 20 rounds of 7.62x54R. They're my reloads, and they shoot fairly well. But I noticed that when I extracted the spent casing, there was soot on the neck, and the primer wasn't flat. The load I use is 47.3gr of IMR4320, 150gr .311" Sierra SP spitzer. 2.900" OAL I'm...

    School me on .45ACP

    OK, so I've been reloading for a few years for a couple rifle calibers. I've been meaning to do .45 ACP, just haven't done it yet. So I'm making it my mission to start this year. My questions are, What are good powders to use? What should be the type and weight of bullet used? Is there anything...

    New toy

    OK, so to some it may not be a big deal. But going from a Lee balance beam scale to this, is equivalent to going from a bicycle to a Ferrari. I posted it on FB, and of course people don't really get why it's so great. But nevertheless, I can't withhold my joy.

    When buying firearms, does grammar irritate you?

    When I'm looking online at certain firearms whether local, or not, I cannot bring myself to buy something from someone who has absolutely terrible grammar, spelling, and punctuation. It just comes across as sloppy. I don't like to do business with sloppy people. You think they would try to be...

    First turkey Shoot (Not Hunting)

    So this morning I went to my local American legion where I'm a member and participated. This was my first time doing so. I'm not sure how common this is in other places, but for those whom are unfamiliar. The range is 52 yards (or at least ours was) they have a 6 foot wall with a regular paper...

    Sent out for a C&R license

    So after awhile of thinking about it, I finally decided to go ahead and get my C&R. The selling point was $30 for THREE years. I thought it was annual, but I'm glad I checked. Most likely, I will buy multiple Mosins, simply because I like them..... I would also like to get an original K98, but...
