Ok, since I don't have any experience with our fine ATF agents, and hope I never do, I will have to take your word for it. Now what are people supposed to do if their gun double fires? Register it as a MG? Have it destroyed according to ATF protocol? Or can they get it repaired? You said "once a...

If the user tampered with the mechanism to the point of failure, it's totally different than a malfunction in a factory stock pistol that is NOT designed to violate the NFA rules. If one purposely makes their gun full auto then of course they are on the wrong side of the law. But a malfunction...

So if a gun malfunctions it can be labeled as an MG? So if I mag dump my AR until it gets so hot it cooks of a few rounds it's now an MG? That doesn't sound right to me. Seems like a malfunction is just that, a malfunction. ETA I have been known to ride the ragged edge of trigger reset and get a...

I can get out to 125 yds from my back deck and still be on my property. There is nothing behind me for a full mile, but since it's not my land, I try to keep off it. I mostly shoot handguns so I do have a decent pistol range set up. It's a work in progress with 8 steel targets so far. Next will...

In my mind, the spare mag is good insurance against mag failure. If you get bang, click, or jam with an auto, that is mag related, what can you do if you don't have a spare? Not to mention the myriad scenarios that we could be presented with. In truth, my main reason for carry is because I work...

Hey, Ramen isn't that bad. Well worth the trade off for that DS.

So, what ever happened to the 629 you ordered?

Nice pick up! I hate the thought of those dang locks, but truth be told, I'd buy another at the right price. Currently only have 1 post lock 64-? And yes it has the lock, and the 2 piece barrel. You know what else it has? The second best trigger of my 2 dozen or more S&W revolvers. Only beaten...

No experience with a Mak, but most Veterans will remember how easy it is to drop the bolt on an M16/AR15 by simply smacking the end of the butt stock. It compresses the buffer enough to drop the bolt stop with a loaded mag inserted or no mag at all. An empty mag of course would be holding the...

We could use more people like that in those positions of influence today. Ahhh, the good ole days.

I have 2 Wranglers. One is from early on in production and shoots quite well. The other is newer production and shoots like crap. Haven't seen any of the keyholes that plague some of them, but 4-6 inch groups at 10 yds is pretty standard for this one. I haven't gotten around to checking it for...

Looks like 1997. According to the SCSW 4th edition. Very cool gun IMHO. Very high on my bucket list.

16 days??? More like 16 hours here. I wish I could go 16 days.

This has happened to me several times. I've had to ask the dealer to redo paperwork more than once. Also have an M&P 38 with mismatched SN between the frame and barrel flat above the ejector rod due to having a barrel replacement. Frame SN is the legal SN if there is a discrepancy AFAIK.

You and me both! I wouldn't let anyone near my 19-3 with tools. She's perfect exactly the way she left the factory. I'm wondering if the OPs gun might just need some old dried out lube cleaned out of the action and fresh lube applied?

As much as I can appreciate the spirit of the OP, and even after my earlier post in this thread, I have failed. After agreeing that less is more, and confessing that I have been selling some of my accumulation, I have fallen off the wagon. First, I stopped by one of my favorite LGS to pick up...

If it looks like it hasn't been fired much, try cleaning out the action first, I mean any crud left over from the machining process. Then dry fire it about 500 times. Then clean the action out again, and another 500 dry fires. That's where I'd start before spending money on a trigger job. It may...

Not my cup of tea for a DA revolver, but I can certainly appreciate how others may like it. It's pretty, just not my taste. But then again it is a Model 15, which makes it a thing of beauty already. I guess I do like it!

At least it wasn't a high powered powder burner. 11 bullets from his 300 mag wouldn't have ended so well!

Uuuuhhhh..... No thanks, not today or any other day.
