Again thanks for all the replies. DogTown - thank you very much for being so polite. Yes I did read the sticky AFTER someone pointed it out to me and before you made your post. As far as selling across state lines, if it's a FTF then no FFL is required. Where did I hear this? From the owner of...

Thanks to all for the replies. One last question - I know that if I sell a long gun to someone living in a free state (Montana, Utah, etc) I don't have to involve an FFL. Is this the same with sending a firearm from Utah to Texas? (Meaning, do I have to send it to an FFL in Texas? Or can I send...

IIRC, I have to use Fedex or UPS. Have to ship them in separate packages. Have to label the ammo ORM-D. Do I have to declare the firearm or label it anything special? Are there any other things I need to do to "follow all of the rules" when shipping a rifle and some ammo? I haven't shipped...

Mods - not sure where this should go but I figured THR would be able to help me make a decision. I'm 31, single, no children and want to serve my country. According to my research, I'm only eligible for the following branches: Army Navy Army Reserves Army National Guard Air Force Reserve Air...

Just spoke to NFA. 9 months from pending is standard. My checks were cashed July 25th, transfers expect to complete in April 2014. He stated the increase was due to more work and less people. Wish I would have known this when I spent all that money in December of 2012...

I posted back in January about purchasing a sub gun (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=698987). After posting that thread I decided to wait until I received the item before expressing my opinion. I paid for the item on December 26th. It was shipped to my dealer on 3/19. I know for a...

Hello All, On December 17th I paid for my first class 3 weapon (Mac 10 with suppressor on a form 3 in wisconsin). I understood that the seller (who is a class 3 dealer) would have to transfer it to a dealer in my state who would then transfer it to me. I paid the asking price and an extra $90...

I made a full auto video, but apparently THR is more interested in critiquing than appreciating.

Hey Eliot, I'll be hunting the bitteroot-selway wilderness, west of darby. I tried to get out yesterday, but could only get so far due to snow. I'm thinking the real chances will be in May after the bears wake up and start foraging. If you're up for a trip west, I'd be happy to have some...

Anyone recommend some tactical mag bottoms? (The bumper plate for 1911 mags). I've found some, but they want $14 per piece, a bit pricey IMO.

thanks for the suggestions. One other question: where can I buy the mag extensions to add to my existing 1911 mags? I don't have a great local supplier, so a link would really help!

thanks very much guys. It definitely needs to be cleaned lol, but I'm very happy thus far. I looked for some CT grips, but it appears they wont fit on the ambidentrous (sp?) safety models. Is there an alternative?

I've had two 1911s, three revolvers and two XDs. All of them are good guns. (FYI you can spend $350 for a brand new full size Springfield 1911...) I had the Springfield for a long time, but wanted the beavertail, beveled mag well, better trigger, lighter aluminum frame, etc. I probably could...

Thanks for the reply wyocarp. I was thinking higher elevations. Actually got to fly over the wilderness in a Cessna, didn't see any bear but we did spot a few hundred elk :) Also gave me a pretty good view of the terrain, etc. I'm not sure which guns I'll bring yet. My options for rifle are...

The most accurate semi-auto I've ever shot, and now have the pleasure of owning :) :D So far i've put 150-175 rounds through it with zero issues. It's more accurate than I am, that's for sure! Kimber Tactical Custom II
