    Natchez promotional code

    Does anyone have a current Natchez promotional code (either shipping or discount) that they'd be kind enough to share? The only ones I can find are the click bait that are just scams or bait & switch.

    CMP 1911 report

    I noted on another thread that I would submit a report on my recently acquired CMP 1911 upon its receipt. I selected the "Service Grade" when they called & told me my number had come up (they gave me the choice of all 3 grades). Although I vaguely remembered putting in the paperwork for it, it...

    ProMag 15 round .45acp 1911 magazines

    Before the flames start: 1. Yes, I know ProMags are junk 2. Yes, I know what JMB said about anything more than 7 rounds for a 1911 magazine 3. I have, in my possession 3 of these infernal things 4. I would love to have 15 rounds available in the single stack (at least semi-reliable) So my 2...

    Shaved lead

    So I'm loading 230g soft lead RN projectiles in .45ACP on my Dillon 650. After getting powder charge and bullet seat depth correct I'm off to the races. About 50 rounds into it I notice that the bullet seating depth doesn't look right, and sure enough the bullets are about .200" too deep...

    mini KABOOM

    I finished up a reloading session on the Dillon 650 tonight and decided to sweep up all the stray grains of powder and spent primers that got loose from the container that were on the floor. I got out the Oreck vacuum cleaner and went to town & suddenly POP! Apparently a new primer had bounced...

    Yet another trust question

    I currently have a Trust for numerous NFA items and there are 5 family members and 1 trusted friend on the Trust. This Trust and all items currently in it are pre-41. Now it is time to buy another machine gun. I know I will need to submit fingerprints and photo for the Form 4. If I do that...

    300 Blackout for Deer

    In recent years I have taken to the idea of filling my buck deer tag with the traditional Remington 700 in 25.06 that has been my go-to rifle for more than 30 years, then utilizing something less traditional or more exotic for subsequent doe tags. This year I pulled out my AR15 300 Blackout 10"...

    Question for Nevada folk

    What's up with the background check passing? I am looking at possibly relocating to Nevada in the next 2-4 years. Now I see that Nevada passed a universal background check proposition. I have been counting on Nevada being a free state (concealed carry, open carry, NFA friendly), but now with...

    Did you ever..?

    Did you ever re-discover something you forgot you owned? I was re-organizing my gun room tonight & taking inventory of ammo & reloading components in preparation for the Hildabeast panic. As I was going through 1 of my "safes" (actually a locking cabinet) I came across a rifle I had almost...

    Here is our future

    Justice Breyer's view of the 2nd Amendment: https://www.americas1stfreedom.org/articles/2016/10/11/ftf/us-supreme-court-justice-second-amendment-not-the-right-of-an-individual/ "is not the right of an individual to keep a gun next to his bed" Here is where we are with the probable HRC...

    Just Suppos'in

    Just hypothetically imagine that a guy has an AR15 SBR,1 in 7" 7" barrel, Wylde chambered .223 with a SpecWar 5.56 silencer, possibly a carbine buffer & spring (not certain of that) standard non-adjustable gas block. Now suppose that this hypothetical firearm occasionally lets off 2 & 3 round...

    AR jams round in chamber

    I have a SBR AR15 in with a .223 Wylde chambered 7" barrel. I always shoot it with a suppressor installed. It often jams a round in the chamber just prior to reaching battery position. It jams so tight that I cannot retract the charging handle to eject it. I have to apply some "gentle...

    A Word to the Wise:

    Not that it will do any good, but I would like to remind all those who were crying "Hoarder", "Greedy" and other less cordial names at people like me who maintain a sensible stock of ammo and reloading supplies during the last run on supplies that now is the time to prepare. In the past...

    Attention Wisconsin 2A Supporters

    The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is proposing rule changes that will prohibit the use of Fully Automatic Firearms (machine guns) and imposing additional restrictions on firearms at WI DNR affiliated shooting ranges. Although the WI DNR ranges that currently allow machine guns are...

    Suppressed AR15 in .223, 7.5" barrel, with carbine buffer?

    For my next SBR, I am considering a .223/5.56 with 7.5" 1/7 barrel, MIL Spec carbine length buffer tube & spring and either a Specwar 5.56 silencer or one of my Form 1 silencers. What cycling/feeding problems should I expect?

    Now we know for sure

    How many firearms sales make you a dealer? Apparently 41 in a 2 year span does it: "Between January 2014 and January 2016 Feldman bought & sold 41 guns, the indictment said" http://www.twincities.com/2016/02/18/st-paul-man-indicted-on-weapon-trafficking-charges/

    Forward assist

    I have the forward assist feature on all of my ARs, but I have serious doubts as to the effectiveness and necessity of it. I cannot think of a single instance in which I was able to get a balky round to properly chamber. I can think of multiple instances of when I aggressively manipulated the...

    Another criminal is at least temporarily out of action: http://www.wtmj.com/news/fbi-arrests-suspect-who-wanted-to-cause-mass-terrorist-shooting-in-milwaukee Is it wrong for me to immediately wonder what machine guns he purchased, what silencers he had, if they were transferrables, Post May...
