While there is only one NICS system, the underlying assertion is patently inaccurate. A NICS exempt permit is a completely distinct concept from a NICS point of contact. When a NICS exempt permit is issued, the issuing authority conducts a qualifying background check (which is typically...

The exemption for certain target pistols used in international shooting was a response to the situation P5guy was referring to, wherein California's then new assault weapon feature ban effectively forced an Olympic shooter out of state. It was well publicized when it happened.

Connecticut is a little more complicated than that. A semi-automatic pistol with a detachable magazine and a threaded barrel is an assault weapon. On semi-automatic centerfire rifles with detachable magazines, the threaded barrel is no longer a feature. Instead what may be threaded on...

(not an FFL or SOT holder) Buying most post samples requires the LE Letter. (The main exception is that importers and manufacturers can buy them from SOTs who are going out of business without that letter) Manufacturers can make all of the machineguns that they want. They just have a...

Go with the .327, as long as she can manipulate it and work the trigger. If she can handle them go with .327 loads. If not, you have a lot of options (if you need to go down to .32 Long, it is a pop-gun round to shoot).

KYGUNCO encourages (or used to encourage) sending in payment instead of using a credit card.

The duty is imposed by statute on the person holding a Connecticut issued credential, much in the way that I despite being a resident of Connecticut am subject to certain laws in Florida, New Hampshire, and Mass related to firearm licenses or other permits which I hold there. In addition (and...

If you have a Connecticut pistol permit, Eligibility Certificate, or Ammunition Certificate please remember to inform DESPP-SLFU of your new address within 48 hours of moving.

I use the 180gr sig V-crowns in my 29.

To help avoid the potential of putting a gun in the hands of a person prohibited by state or federal law when I instruct, my registration form includes a list of statements, which each must be answered yes/ no, which cover all applicable disqualifying conditions (in the state(s) where the course...

Usually plated or coated steel, and especially common on promo/economy low brass loads.

Those shell heads were zinc plated steel, not aluminum. A few months ago, Wal_Mart started selling retro-80s style white/black/bronze boxes with shells loaded in hulls similar to the ones that used to come in the value packs in single 25 round boxes at a better price point than the value packs.

No star. The star marking was brought into use in/after 1969. My gun dates to 1955. I did some tests with the empty Herter's hulls. I didn't feel anything particularly rough. The plastic portion of the hull felt surprisingly loose, except that the head was a bit snugger. I shot the...

When I use the term case, I mean 250 rd (10 box) flat. That's what sporting goods stores in my area have typically called a case, hence how I got the term. Despite 16 ga being difficult to find, I was able to get some more loads that don't cost too much more. In addition to the Fiocchi shells...

That makes sense, especially on a new Express. As I mentioned earlier on, mine is a 1955 vintage Wingmaster, which predates most of the QC problems and being a Wingmaster, should be to a higher standard of fit and finish than an Express. The chamber looks good (I wouldn't have bought it if it...

It's looking like a theme with their low-brass loads. Hopefully I will scare up some better ammo at a decent price.

If I end up honing it, I will probably buy a Flex hone Chamber hone- it looks kind of of a bore brush and chucks into a drill, and it shaped/ sized specifically. They are supposed to be fairly easy to use and only cost about $25. Most brake hones are designed for 13/16 up- a little over the...

I can't fathom they'll be interested in fixing 1955's problem- if in fact that's what it turns out to be. Considering the amount of function testing that Remington would do back then, I'm going to hope that is not the problem.

Thanks for the info. With the exception of premium loads, I have assumed that plated steel heads weresort of par for the course now. Like most shooters I've generally had positive experiences with plated (brass or zinc) steel-head shells (remington, federal, rio, herters) in my various 12...

I took my new to me 16 gauge Wingmaster to the range today. I was shooting Herter's ammo in it from Cabela's. I experienced the following problem when shooting it: Patterns really well. However, it has some extraction issues. First round extracted normally and ejected like a champ. The...
