    FBI NICS Now Records Your Drivers License #

    This week, FBI NICS started requesting answers to 4473 question 18a, I.D. type and number. I wonder what prompted the change to recording our drivers license numbers? Previously, only the FFL dealer would hold that record. What do you think? Why do the Feds now need our I.D. numbers?

    How Do FFL's Buy Police Trade Ins?

    I'm the manager at a small 6,000sq ft gunshop/sporting goods store. While we sell a ton of used guns (trade ins and consignments), I have recently taken an interest in acquiring Dept trade in guns as well to offer customers some good deals on quality firearms. Before I jump on the phone with...

    New To Me 1880's Fagnus Revolver

    So, my local shop took this in today and I couldnt help myself... It was just odd enough to come home with me. So, from what I can gather, its a Fagnus 11mm double action made in Belgium. It very hard to find info on these, there doesnt seem to be much out there about them. It appears to be...

    New Sig P365 Failure

    Well, I purchased it new 2 days ago and just had my first chance to fire it. It failed. About 50rds in, the rear frame pin, the pin that hold all the innards in place, walked out. I pressed it back in and every 20 or so rounds fired, it walks back out again. 100rds, mix of Tula, Federal...

    Why No KelTec Sub2k Pistol?

    I know everyone would buy one, so why hasnt KelTec come out with a 5-10" Sub2k with pistol brace? I mean, they already cant keep up with demand, but it seems like a very easy offering that would sell well. I want one darn it. An 20" long 9mm shoulderable pistol would be the cats meow, without...

    Glock 20 Heavy Trigger Fix?

    I recently lucked into a like new $400 G3 Glock 20SF and while I love the gun, the measured 8lb trigger is just too darn heavy. Whats the easiest, most reliable, inexpensive way to lighten the trigger? I dont need anything too fancy, but I'd love to get it into the 3-5lb range. As it is, with...

    Approx Value S&W 28-2 Washington State Patrol Commemorative?

    Howdy folks. A friend of mine has a WSP commemorative 28-2 in its original wood display box. Its near mint, never been fired outside the factory. From my limited research, only 760ish of these pistols were ever made, in 1981. He's been thinking about selling it but I'd like to get a feel...

    What if the ATF had to go through the legislative process?

    I was thinking, if the ATF had to actually go through the legislative process instead of being able to change its "opinion" willy-nilly, would it be a good thing for Americans? It seems pretty ridiculous that the ATF can just change its mind whenever it wants. Kind of an interesting train of...

    Which has deeper penetration with FMJ ammo? I've heard it both ways and cant seem to find any definitive tests.

    NFA Trust Not Notarized? Drafted by FFL dealer?

    A local class 3 dealer here in WA informed me that the NFA trust they offer does not require notary. First of all, is it even legal for a FFL dealer to setup a trust for you? Secondly, doesnt the trust have to be notarized? I was under the impression that only people licensed to practice law...

    How to Deactivate Old Revolver

    I have an old, not worth repairing H&R American .32 that I would like to legally deactivate in order to sell it as a wall hanger (all gun sales in WA require a background check and transfer, usually costing $30, about what the pistol is worth). I've looked online and cant seem to find a...

    Is "Fanning" Hammer Illegal?

    I got to thinking this morning (scary) and going strictly by ATF wording, would fanning a revolver hammer count as making it full auto? Its technically firing more than one shot with the pull of the trigger, but does working the hammer count as "manual reloading" ? ATF: "Any weapon which...

    Best Available Clam Knife?

    My girlfriend and I have been going butter clamming near Port Townsend, WA lately and have been digging some monster 4"-5" butter clams. We have been using the tips of thin, flexible blades of my Mora fillet knives to cut the muscles. Its working ok, but we have wasted a little meat with the...

    Odd Vintage Gerber Fixed Blade?

    Howdy. I recently acquired what I believe to be a vintage Gerber Big Hunter and I cannot find another one like it online. The markings are odd. The handle is simply stamped "Gerber". It has no model designations on the grip like all the other ones I can find. No other markings anywhere. Also...

    Best light for Glock 42?

    Just like the title says, whats the best light available for the little Glock 42? Its my EDC piece and since we spend half our lives in the dark, a light seems like a good idea to have a light.

    Hearing Protection Act: Is this U.S. Senator lying, ignorant or just grossly misinformed?

    Sen. Chris Murphy stated “Silencers are used to commit crimes. They are used to conceal the fact that you are firing a weapon. There will be more crimes committed– more people killed– if silencers are legalized.” As far as I am aware, legal silencers have been used in virtually no crimes in the...

    AR10 Malfunction with Silencer

    I have a DPMS GII .308. I have installed an SLR adjustable gas block and tuned it without the silencer. It cycles/functions great. I assumed it would be slightly overgassed with the silencer installed. Well, today I screwed the can on and it was short stroking. Why/how can it short stroke...

    Ruger American Question

    Howdy. I just got my Griffin Recce 7 silencer and I'm looking into a lightweight threaded .308 rifle. I have the Ruger American Predator in my sights. A couple of questions first though: Can it be single loaded with an empty mag inserted? Also, can it be loaded from the top without removing...

    ID This Bull Barrel?

    I just purchased a Remington 700 thats been pretty well built up. B&C Medalist Tactical stock, Timney trigger, Leupold VX2 6-18x, Talley rings/bases, fully bedded, etc. 13lb rifle as equipped, its a beast. The big question is: Who made the barrel? No factory markings anywhere, even under...
