    Minority Living with AntiGun Majority

    Bad situation. Unless you can convert her, you'll probably have to give up either the guns or her. What will you do when (not if) she issues her ultimatum?

    Looking for advice on a range carry all

    How about a golf bag/cart? Or the 3-gun competitors are using jogging strollers. Maybe one of those 2-wheeled folding shopping carts? A lot will depend on what you're carrying and how far you're going.

    Ballistic paneling or fabric

    I'd go for the sandbags. Filled with DRY sand, or maybe even better, small (3/8" or so)pea gravel. Ideally, you'd put some plywood on the studs first, so that if there's any settlement the drywall won't blow out from the pressure. Then the drywall over that. It's my belief that using unbagged...

    looking for camo ideas

    Or go to an archery shop. They have camo covers for bow limbs that attach with velcro.

    Mixing of Metals

    So what's going to happen to my EDC knife with the steel blade and aluminum body? Is it going to turn into an unusable chunk of corrosion in my pocket?

    The Econo-Cartridge?

    I'm probabbly the only one who remembers this, but in the early 70s, Guns & Ammo had an article on a BP rifle called the "Turret Rifle", I think. It was made by a company like CVA or Dixie, I don't remember. It had a powder chamber at the breech. The cap was removed, and a lead shot placed into...

    Cocked & Locked??

    First of all, forget about "using" the half-cock notch for carry. The notch has one purpose and one purpose only, to provide a measure of protection if the hammer slips while you're uncocking it. Why anyone thinks it's safe and smart to lower a hammer on a loaded round is beyond me. As...

    AR-15 Thumbhole Stock

    Or, if the barrel is 16" (meaning NFA legal with no FH or other extension), just have your smith knock the threads off on the lathe. As long as you carefully arrange how and what and when you possess barrels and receivers, you shouldn't run afoul of any laws. ETA: Not suggesting that...

    AR-15 Thumbhole Stock

    How about a pinned and welded muzzle brake/compensator? That's offered as an option by several manufacturers, at least on their 5.56 uppers. Or a plain muzzle? Or could you get your SOT to thread on and then weld a non-flash hider extension on it? Frankly, aside from ease of acquisition...

    5.56 vs 7.62 suppressor

    rjrivero Member Join Date: January 5, 2009 Posts: 521 The Conneticut gun law is found here: LINK. Ironically enough, Conneticut allows for suppressors. So if you get a rifle with a muzzle break perm attached as a mount instead of a flash hider, you should be good to go. Not to...

    I know I'll never go to Africa...

    A friend who works at the local gun shop recently bought a .416 Rigby, I think it's a Mod. 70. He made up some mild loads with, I think, Trail Boss, and the rifle feels about like a 20-gauge on your shoulder. Wasn't overly loud, either. And, of course, you can load it hot (and punishing) as...

    5.56 vs 7.62 suppressor

    I'd be interested in your posting the response if you get one. You could very well be stirring up a hornet's nest. IF they give you a definitive answer, you realize you'll either be a hero or one of the most reviled Nutmeg Staters among its gun owners, don't you? :scrutiny: Best of luck...

    Hk p7

    I'm not generally a fan of HKs, but I love the P7. Don't own one yet, the right deal's never come along, but the first time I shot one it was like magic. It's a very accurate pistol, and very controllable, due in part to the low height of the barrel axis above the hand. Plus, as soon as...

    5.56 vs 7.62 suppressor

    Not the point. He's legal now (muzzle brake is welded), but the addition of the suppressor may put him in hot water. Connecticut hasn't defined whether or not a suppressor is or isn't considered a flash suppressor.

    5.56 vs 7.62 suppressor

    For all you guys in free states: Here's the OP's problem: In Connecticut, it's perfectly legal to purchase and use a suppressor. However, CT still uses the "feature count" to define "assault weapons", and one of those features is having a threaded muzzle OR a flash hider (pinned and welded...

    5.56 vs 7.62 suppressor

    In Connecticut, I understand that suppressing an AR is a legal gray area; suppressors, in addition to reducing noise, are also excellent at reducing muzzle flash. So even if you had a Gemtech adapter welded onto the barrel, would the suppressor be a flash hider? I suppose you could get one...

    Remember EAA Thor Handgun?

    I didn't remember the name, but I do vaguely remember the gun. I don't even recall what type of action it was (bolt?), but they advertised heavily in that period.

    New jersey law on ammo - definitive!

    So what happens if I drive through NJ with a magful of HPs I neglected to leave at home? Even if I don't have any firearms in the vehicle? Felony count for each cartridge?
