If an AR-15 pistol receiver was used to build a AR-15 rifle; would it still be a "pistol" and would it be legal under the handgun carry permit? No. It does not matter what the receiver was originally assembled as. It also does not mean squat if the manufacturer has stamped "Pistol Only" on...

Check the Calguns thread again... Ugh. ATF issued formal letter stating that all PDF will be rejected. Of course, they still charged my CC $30 TODAY. How they can charge me money for an invalid form is a discussion I guess I won't go into here. Hopefully the green forms show up the...

Check page 10 over on Calguns Looks like at least one person had an issue with the PDF form. ATF "approved" it, but told him to fill out and mail in one of the original green ones as they would not accept copies. Might just be that that agent is being a stickler. A few folks have...

rklessdriver: Thanks for posting that. I have wanted to get my C&R for the past 8 years. For a variety of reasons I won't bore you with, I kept deciding to wait. Decided a few weeks ago to make the plunge and ordered my forms. Forms aren't here yet... Filled out and mailed my app...

Cleaning / Owners Manual The manual is kinda worthless. It is a generic manual for all "Modern Style" revolvers. For instance, on page 14 it says no bullets less than 120 GR for "All Scandium Revolvers". We know this is not true for the M&P. The manual should say "All Scandium cylinders"...

Cleaning? So what's the consensus on cleaning these bad boys? Does the "nothing containing ammonia" rule apply to this finish as well? Safe to use a soft brass brush everywere, or only down the barrel? I'm a bit paranoid, unless anyone knows otherwise I'm nervous to touch this gun with...

CT direct from S&W $285 after shipping and tax. I read over on the CT forums that S&W is the only manufacturer that allows you to buy CT's with thier logo after the fact. For other brands if you want thier fancy logo you have to buy it installed on the gun from the factory.

Damn, I am really kicking myself here. I've been looking for a M&P 340 with CT grips for a while now. Everyone was either out of stock or asking too much. I ffinallyl ound a stocking dealer with the standard model and figured what the hell, I'll order it and get some LG-405's off ebay or...
