Deals can be found As said before it is a matter of knowing what something you want costs, it's availability and watching the bids. A few months ago there was a Del-Ton AR15 lower receiver for sale with no reserve and opening price was a penny. I ended up getting it for $75 plus $15 for...

Go west to see for yourself As stated before, P-dogs are not the cute little furry critters that people make them out to be. Amazing to watch them eat their dispatched members, yes they are cannibalistic. In fact generally the first 'kill' of a trip is hitting one (not on purpose) with the...

No background check for a LLC or trust If you apply for a suppressor using a LLC or Trust you do not need approval by local law enforcement nor is there any background check (how do you do a background check on a company?). Granted there is still the $200 tax to pay per suppressor. The...

Apply as a LLC One of the common problems to getting a NFA item is the background check delays and then getting the chief law enforcement officer to sign off on it. An alternative is to form a LLC and then apply as a corporation. BATF can't do a background check on a LLC and no requirement...

Go here This web site has tons of info. http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/ Legality depends upon your state laws. Federal law allows ownership of a suppressor after completing BATF paperwork and paying the $200 tax. While a potato may quiet a gun (concern about it being a bore...

5.7 x 28 You can load about any 22 caliber bullet from 33 to 55 grains in a 5.7. Velocity with a 40 grain bullet out a 16 inch barrel (son's PS 90) is about 2600 fps. Kind of difficult to find a bolt action gun though (I think) Midway sells a bolt conversion for Rem 700s. If you are looking...

Still lots going on Lots is done in the benchrest crowd. As soon as Lapua brought out their 6.5x47 cartridge it was necked down to 6 mm. They are always playing with variations of the 6 mm br case, making it shorter or longer. The Ruger 375 case is being necked down and up for magnum...

Do it all the time My oldest son and I are at the range almost weekly during the summer. As he as all the 'cool' guns, lots of people ask questions and he lets them shoot his A2, M4, FN PS90, AK 47 and his suppressed Sig 226. It often turns into him asking if they would like to shoot any of...

Hornet and 5.7 velocities I have chronographed both. My son has a FN PS90. With the Hornady 35 gr. V-Max velocities were in the 2500 to 2600 fps range dependent upon the load. This is with a 16" bbl. My Hornet, a Ruger #3 with a 22" barrel gets 3000 fps with 40 grain Nosler balistic tips...

I started with a bb gun at 9 or so. My oldest son was just under 4 years old when he first shot a gun. He wanted to watch me shoot, and then asked to shoot (with help holding and aiming) my 22 revolver. Then he said he wanted to shoot the "big gun" (1911 in 45) I figured one shot and the...

Used to live in Eugene long ago There is an Issac Walton range SE of town. Did USPSA shooting there. There is a range towards Marcola. Both require memberships to shoot there. Suggest you check with local gun stores to see what is available now as it was 12+ years ago that I moved to Idaho...
