Hello, I am buying my first suppressor and just had a barrel extension added to my CA-75B. The instructions that came with it say to use locktite blue on the barrel threads to prevent the extension from unscrewing with the suppressor. The issue is that if I do that I have to break the...

A friend often buys firearms (as well as other goods) at garage sales and then resells them. He has a pretty good number of pistols and rifles built up and is considering renting a table at a gun show to sell them. At what point does he need be a gun dealer with an FLL as opposed to a...

I set up an indoor pistol range in my garage. I have a commercial bullet trap against a large concrete wall and with additional wood protecting the concrete around the trap. About 5 feet from the trap is a large window. I would like to provide some protection for that window. I have plenty...

Hello: I have never had the opportunity to shoot black powder and so know nothing about the sport. A friend has two unfired black powder 44 cal pistols, new and in the box. Both say that they are one of 5000 and made by FLLIPIETTA in Italy. Below are some pictures. I would appreciate any...

I came across a vz52 rifle in fair condition. I am having trouble determining if the chamber is 7.62 x 45 (as marked on the barrel) or converted to 7.62x39. Former owner says 762x39. What happens if you fire 7.62x39 in a 7.62x45 chamber? Kaboom? Any insight?

Took trip this week. In my checked luggage I had a wooden stock for an m1 carbine and several parts (slide, bolt, springs, sling, trigger assembly), but NO RECEIVER or barrel for that matter. I had mailed the receiver and barrel to my self (I have a c&r) so that I would not need to fly with a...

I have been reading about the new Florida gun law which prohibits local governments from enacting laws regulating firearms. This makes gun regulations equal throughout the state. My county prohibits the discharge of of any firearm except at a range. Does this new law mean that I can now do...

I need some advice on decapping springfield 30-06 brass. I have broken half a dozen Lee pins in the universal decapper. I have tried adjusting the tension on the pin so that it would slide rather than break, but to get it tight enough to push a primer our, it usually brakes the pin. I also...

Why did I purchase a life membership in the NRA? They just announced that they are endorsing Scott Murphy, a left-wing liberal over Chris Gibson a conservative, pro-second amendment, decorated veteran. Gibson recieved at top rating from the NRA and they snub him. This is a congressional race...

Hi: Looking for some expert help IDing a rifle. Sorry at this point I don't have a picture. A friend just picked up a what he described as an undertrigger Kentucky rifle with a cap & ball ignition, rifled barrel, and looks to be around 30 caliber. The buttstock is curved and the wood seems...

The Miami Herald is pushing for a change in florida's "stand your ground" law using gangs as the reason. They would prefer we call a cop than be able to defend outselves. Please hit the poll at the link below. Thanks...

Hello all I am using a Lee handheld shell primer for a large number of 223 rounds. Lake City brass is extremely difficult to slide into the #4 shell holder lee specifies for 223. I have two #4 holders and both are a PIA. I read that other reloaders have found a similar problem. I did some...

A friend is trying to identify this revolver. It has 32 CTGE on the barrel and he said it is a S&W, but I sure cannot find any S&W's that look like this. Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of manufacturer or model? Thanks

Has anyone carried cleaned, deprimed brass in a carry on? Is there any reason that this would be illegal? I need to travel this weekend and wanted to take some brass up north to use. Will TSA have kittens over this?

I would like to apply for a C&R license. Here is the question. I split my time between NY (upstate) and Florida. I have homes in both locations. How do you handle this with a C&R? Can you only ship a C&R gun to the address on the C&R license? Does your collection have to be in one...

I am looking at a cz-82 pistol with a 12 round mag. I know that new guns may only have a 10 round capacity, but what about older guns? The CZ-82 is likely a late 80's early 90's production. Would it be legal with a 12 round magazine. Thanks for the expertise.

I have a new lee hand held priming tool that uses different Lee shell holders for various calibers. It calls for a #4 holder for 223 rounds. I find that about a third of my processed brass will not fit in the #4 holder. Even some that do are a PITA to be out of the holder. The number 19...

I am loading 38 spl rounds with 158gr Berry's over 3.6gn of HP38. Is it a good idea to crimp these rounds? When I switch over to 9mm, should I crimp those? Appreciate the advice.

I need some advice. I just started loading 148gr Berry's DEWC wad cutters. The manuals say to load them flush with the end of the case. Some of the wad cutters are a bit "loose" in the case and when I crimp them they slip lower in the case. I can tap them and get them to come to the top of...

I have box of Remington 6 1/2's that I had planned to use in my 223 loads. They box says that they are not appropriate for 223's and that is the only rifle round I load. I am starting to reload 38 special. Given the size of the 38case, can I use the 6 1/2's safely in 38 special rounds? I...
