It always puzzles me that gun forums react with such hostility to the fact that business actually takes place in the firearms business.

This is false, at least for long guns.

If you know a range that is doing this, then I would suggest you tell them to stop. It is illegal for an FFL to use NICS for anything other than the transfer of a firearm and unauthorized use could cost them a $10000 fine and loss of access to the system (see 28 CFR 25.11).

No tricks, just use elbow grease, and maybe a tiny bit of lube.

2A applies to individuals. To the extent that the government exists only to serve the citizenry and uses public monies, it is reasonable to question if this purchase serves that purpose.

Indeed, they should. The city government here shouldn't be allowed to make a confidential settlement. Their books ought to be open to the public, and the taxpayers have a right to know how much the incompetence of their public servants has cost them.

The FFL is required to log all incoming shipments. See CFR 478.125 (e): "...The purchase or other acquisition of a firearm shall, except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section (not applicable here), be recorded not later than the close of the next business day following the date of such...

Champion's Choice for Springfield receivers Fulton Armory Armscorp LRB

The standard front sight tower all but disappears when using magnified optics. Stick your fingers out in front of a scope if you don't believe it. Low profile gas blocks, together with a flip-up front sight, are also a popular choice for dedicated optic setups. For 1x optics, the front...

Wasn't there a Pennsylvania supreme court decision years ago that explicitly clarified that disorderly conduct charges do not apply to open carry? It's time the responsible authorities be stripped of their qualified immunity and sued personally for their homes and pensions.

Thanks for the detailed post. I did the test and the gas tube slides freely into the stripped carrier when the upper is only modestly inclined, much less than 45 degrees, so it looks like it's fine. I'll keep an eye on it as I put more rounds through it.

Forgot himself? Situationally unaware? ***? If it's legal to carry cased rifles around, then it's legal. If that's all there is to this, then I hope Mr. Calanchini gets to afford many hunting trips, courtesy of you and the other taxpayers of Denver.

When I hand cycle my midlength upper, I can see the gas tube relax just slightly when the carrier moves to the rear, and there's a light click when they mate up when the carrier goes forward. With the carrier out, I can depress the gas tube and feel it spring back a bit, whereas the gas tube is...

Has anyone tried out Widener's M80 and M118LR bullets that they are selling in bulk? Also, how come the cannalure on the M80 bullets is a smooth groove with no serrations?

I think it would have to be something that an average person would be able to read and copy, so alphanumeric. From a quick search, both USC and CFR don't define what a serial number is, but CFR 479.102 requires firearms to be legibly marked. Wingdings, chinese characters, etc. are probably not...
