    ECCO Machine (MachIVShooter) Form 1 re-core experience

    I've been kicking around the idea of re-coring my 1.625"x8" can for a long while now. It was an early diversified machine kit that came with Ti spacers and six pre-formed freeze plug baffles. Originally it weighed in at 16 oz without the mount. The whole stack was pretty well stuck inside the...

    What to do when the rug is pulled out from under you?

    As I'm sure that many of you have heard, Virginia had a mass-shooting incident that involved a silencer recently. Yes, yes, I know, the silencer didn't help the shooter, every witness interviewed clearly heard gunshots and the police located him based on the sound of his gunshots as well. We...

    Application of ATF Ruling 2011-4

    We recently had a somewhat spirited discussion regarding whether an SBR is made by simply having the parts to construct one in the same place at the same time. United States v. Thompson/Center Arms Co., 504 U.S. 505 (1992) was cited as relevant authority, as it revolved around the Contender...

    BATFE opens up eForms for Form 1 makings again

    https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/10/04/eforms-back-online/ Haven't gone and checked, since I'm not looking to file again any time soon, but it sounds like good news. Apparently they have two categories now, entities and individuals. Still no way to submit fingerprints...

    Good Start to the Season

    Had a good start to the VA firearm season yesterday... Sunrise at 0700, legal shooting at 0630, took my DMAP doe at 0635: Bang, flop. Easy day for a soy-bean fed meat doe. Yeah, she was little, but it'll make for some tasty meat. Plan on turning both hind quarters into pastrami.

    Elk mount as checked baggage (United)

    Last year (2016) I managed to take a nice elk (300" range) out in Unit 2 in NM during bow season. Didn't have time to wait around for the taxidermist to finish the european mount so I figured I'd just leave it with family and bring it back after this year's hunt. Well, Navy had different plans...

    New Form 1 .45 Can (build process!)

    So, you’ve decided you want to build a silencer. GREAT! It’s a fun, rewarding project. But, wait, you’re tool-poor. All you have is a few files, a drill press, and a compound vice. I’m going to show that it can be done with the help of the various “solvent trap” manufacturers out there. What...

    All the things

    Got a threaded barrel for my 1911 finally, so it was time to try out the new Osprey .45. But, if I'm going out shooting, I'm going out shooting, so I brought all the toys. The barrel needs little fitting after all, seeing as it won't lock back up between rounds but only requires a light push on...

    1911 Threaded Barrel

    I find myself in possession of a .45 caliber suppressor with no host to put it on. I also have a Kimber Custom TLE/RL II 1911. Based on that, I'm trying to sort out what the best balance between cost and accuracy would be for a threaded barrel. Additionally, what kind of fitting would I have...

    Finally got this year's buck

    He's not gonna win any awards, but he'll do to close out the season here (already picked up two does) in Tidewater, VA: Found him out by the swamp near an abandoned 1800's burial plot. The hunt club calls it the cemetery stand. He came by to figure out who was banging antlers on the trees...

    Winchester Model 67 .22lr

    Anyone have experience with a Model 67 .22lr? Single shot, bolt action. Seems like a good first gun for my daughter, about to turn 5, who seems to be interested in the deer I keep bringing home.
