    Tiny spots on the inside of scope objective lens

    Yeah, I was thinking the same. Bizarre though since these scopes have never really been in humidity for more than a few hours at a time. The Loopy was attached to a used gun I bought from an FFL--do you know offhand if their warranty policies cover third party ownership?

    Tiny spots on the inside of scope objective lens

    *bump*...finding it a bit hard to believe that no one's seen this kind of thing before.

    Tiny spots on the inside of scope objective lens

    Recently, I noticed my Leupold Mk4 with a couple of little spots on the inside of the objective lens (the front lens), which doesn't appear to be condensation-it isn't liquid. My other scope, a Burris, has a couple as well. They appear on the inside of the lens. They're not visible looking...

    3 new PA gun laws, MAYBE

    So, in summary, if a person who owns firearms legally is charged with a felony for any reason (and presumed innocent until proven guilty), he is already guilty of possessing firearms he already owns, simply by virtue of being charged. How could such a thing possibly pass legal muster? And...

    Sorting brass: why I hate the .40 S&W

    (spelling corrected by me) Believe it or not, Berdan primers are an American invention. Hiram Berdan was the inventor. Boxer was an Englishman.

    Air Conditioning, Humidifiers, and Rust

    You probably know this otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up, but just so everyone else understands: There's a reason servers run at a significant level of humidity, and it's not because of rust. High humidity causes condensation; low humidity significantly elevates the risk of a static...

    FFLs: Are you allowed to scan your 4473s?

    Wouldn't the licensee be in hot water for losing the forms?

    FFLs: Are you allowed to scan your 4473s?

    Part of the reason I ask is because I have a system that I used when I worked in finance that (in theory) could be readily adapted to the operations of an FFL. Let's say you keep your bound book in a spreadsheet or other application. You would be able to access an image of the 4473 or other...

    FFLs: Are you allowed to scan your 4473s?

    Interesting. If you did scan it, you could then search for it by NICS transaction number (saying, for the sake of discussion, that you indexed it that way) and have a copy of it up within a few seconds. However, it doesn't sound like you go looking for the forms enough for it to save money...

    FFLs: Are you allowed to scan your 4473s?

    I was curious if FFLs are allowed to scan in the 4473, or if they're mandated to retain a hardcopy. Additionally, I was also curious how much time FFLs spend on retrieving the 4473s in response to things like trace requests. Since companies are moving towards imaging their documents, it seems...

    Some A-MAX range results for anyone wondering if Hornady bullets are any good.

    I get similar results to the OP using A-Max bullets and would recommend them. They're quality.

    They're All Urging the Great O to Restrict "Assault" Weapons

    It does not have a shoulder thing that goes up. It has the pointy thing that goes up. And that's all she wrote.

    22 year old Sister Issues

    I'm an NRA Instructor. In Basic Pistol, you learn how to use the pistol safely for recreational purposes such as target shooting and competition. SOP in that environment is to keep the pistol unloaded and in a secure location when not in use. Keeping a loaded firearm for self defense isn't...

    "Saving Private Ryan"...(MG-42 scene, realistic?)

    It is possible to slag an MG barrel. I am not sure if in the scene they fired enough to do that, but it's not unheard of for stuff like that to happen. Whether it happened with the MG42 I could not say...I've never seen one in real life.

    Using the NICS list for mentally unbalanced minors?

    Probably be a good idea to talk to a lawyer in your state, then. All I know, given that I've never been in the position of having to decide that for a family member myself, is that the law is different in every state. In Florida they have the fairly well-known Baker act, but there are similar...

    Using the NICS list for mentally unbalanced minors?

    Sage Thrasher: Good question. But what are you referring to by "voluntarily add someone?" Do you mean having a family member commit another family member to a hospital or something? And in which state?

    Using the NICS list for mentally unbalanced minors?

    If you open up the pandora's box of adding people to NICS without any due process to speak of, I have no doubt that our good friends in the Democratic Party will find some pretty amazing and creative uses for this. Not to be rude, but I didn't realize that adding people to a government-run...

    Using the NICS list for mentally unbalanced minors?

    This begs the question (for the two above posters). Is it really your opinion that a simple medical diagnosis should get individuals added to the federal NICS list of prohibited persons? Wasn't this issue laid to rest with the NICS improvement act? You do realize what your suggestions would...
