    5.56 ammo can repack kits

    So, i'm contemplating picking up several complete kits to repack my 5.56 ammo ala the way the military does for disbursement. Part of my reasoning is, it'd be easier to deploy for myself it needed as a backup to already loaded mags, and because I have a ton of "loose" ammo from when I had a...

    Want to borrow: .50BMG GO/NO-GO gauges

    Hopefully this is in the right place to ask. I could use a set of Go/NO-GO gauges for my .50BMG rifle, to check head spacing. Since I only need to use them once, I was wondering if anyone near the NJ 07922 area code had them that I could borrow, or if there's others farther away that might be...

    Dropped ammo detonates...

    https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/11/05/dropping-live-ammunition-can-lead-to-detonation/ Read the article for all the details, but for the TL;DR crowd: Guy drops a box of loose ammo on the floor, one round detonates. It's one of those things that, theoretically we all knew could happen...

    Crazy thinking out loud: "fancy" lowers and displaying them...

    With PSA and other makers gratuitously capitalizing on the People's patriotism (said entirely tongue in cheek btw), am I insane for wanting to start collecting these special engraved lowers and displaying them in a case of some form?

    Broke my M9-22 again...

    Bought the gun November of 2015 August of 2017 (21 months), with ~3500 rounds down the pipe, this happened: Safety lever broke in half. July 2nd of 2019 (23 months), with another ~3100 rounds down town, it broke again: Slide is going back to Beretta tomorrow, for another safety lever...

    *rant* I hate vendors who can't do their job right.

    You had one job: send me EVERYTHING in the kit you listed online. It took you 7 days to finally respond to my requests for a status update, 14 days for you to send me a tracking number (which was the entirety of the aforementioned response), and another 4 days on top of that to actually give...

    Ammo/reloading ignorant... are these dangerous as/is?

    I picked up a bulk lot of ammo from a forum member, and need to know, a couple things about these "damaged" rounds: I know they're not viable to shoot, but are they dangerous as they sit? Can they be "salvaged" by pulling the bullets enough to be at the correct OAL? If they're lost causes for...

    Long term storage, undetermined conditions.

    Has anyone given any thoughts on how to store a collection of firearms for an extended period of time (years potentially) without having access to the collection and without being able to potentially control the environment they'd be in? Would it be possible to vacuum seal/food saver bag style...

    Ammunition analytics...

    (I kind of thought this thread should be in the Ammunition section, but it didn't seem to fit. Mods, please move if you think it does.) I'd like to inquire of the more well educated members (re: older. :D) with regards to, how much ammunition is too much. Being of an engineering background...

    Finally got to shoot my new shotgun...

    Picked up a brand new never fired Mossberg 500 12 gauge combo (28", 18.5") shotgun a couple weeks ago from a gentleman who's wife was "annoyed" with his purchasing habits. :D Local forum had a "Shotgun Shootout" day today and I put 125 shells down range in about 2.5 hours. My shoulder is...

    (NJ) Governor candidate Seth Grossman supports 2A...

    http://grossman4nj.com/2013/04/22/13th-principle-uphold-the-2nd-amendment-right-to-bear-arms/ I think we need to look hard at backing this guy for Governor. His other "principles" are also in-line with what I believe in.

    NJ FFLs... I need a new one...

    I'm located in northern NJ (Union County). Is anyone in here an FFL in that area, or know of one I can contact? Specifically one that costs less than $60 (most around here want $100. :what:) The usual sources (GunBroker) isn't kept up to date very well (prices are wrong, several are out of...

    With regards to the propensity to overrun discussion threads on other web sites...

    Good on ya I say! I've noticed more and more lately on all kinds of sites (mostly news related ones) that have discussion threads, that Pro-2A people are bringing the online fight to their door steps, so to speak. Vehicular accident reports, abortion protests, you name it... Pro-2A comments...

    New York bans guns, then holds Tactical Expo

    So New York bans guns then holds a "Tactical Expo!" - An NC Gun Blog yea... email/phone call time to the above? NYPD has roughly 40,000 uniformed officers and an almost $4 billion annual budget, but I bet us private citizens dropped 10x that or more JUST in the days after Sandy Hook.

    Extending an invitation to go shooting...

    I'm trying to be pro-active and help create more of an understanding about firearms so that people I meet are not so anti. Basically I'm applying the theory of people are more afraid of the unknown than the known. To that end I'd like to start actively inviting people to go with me to the range...
