    So what is your next ar build going to be?

    I'm going to build a pistol on a PSA or Anderson lower. Probably a 10.5 or 11.5 barrel length in 223/5.56. Not sure about anything else, yet. I'm picking up my order tomorrow of a PSA stripped lower and lower parts kit and two stripped Anderson lowers.

    Range for 50 BMG Near New Bern, NC?

    I have a buddy who is looking for a range to shoot a 50 BMG near New Bern, NC. Anyone know of one? He is planning on going there in the spring and has some friends that want to try out his 50. Thanks.

    Please Explain 1911 Models, Commander vs Compact

    Especially after dealing with my 1981 Colt Officers. LOL ;)

    Best Ammo Names of All Time!

    I still have a few boxes of Black Talons laying around. I picked up a box of Zombie-Max ammo to sit next to the Black Talons. Over the years, I've casually looked for a box of Black Rhino ammo, but have never seen any for sale. I'd prefer a box of 45 acp.

    Magpul has allocated about 1 Million Magazines for The Boulder Airlift

    I have mags from 1993/94 that I have never used and recently had ten 30-round PMAGS arrive at my door and backordered ten more. I generally use the same four 30-rounders when shooting and typically only load ten at a time. Using them in ten-round increments helps me avoid the "shooting to just...

    ruger #1 in 460 s&w

    I'll shelve the 250gr reg XTP bullets in case I ever start reloading 45LC or 454 Casull and ordered a box of 240 gr XTP/MAG and a box of 300 gr XTP/MAG bullets. I just target shoot (mostly 100 yrds), so these will let me figure out what my gun likes the most. Thanks for all the feedback!

    ruger #1 in 460 s&w

    I spent an hour or so looking through old threads and came to the conclusion of just what you stated. I bought the 250 gr bullets because the factory ammo I bought is Winchester 250 gr. I should have done more research before buying the bullets. I use the Ein 296 for 44 and 357 mag and 30...

    ruger #1 in 460 s&w

    I was getting ready to load some 460 S&W with new Hornady brass, Hornady 250 gr 0.451" XTP bullets, and Winchester 296 powder, but I can't find any reloading data for this combination. The Hodgens/Winchester site had no load data with a 250 gr 0.452" dia bullet and my reloading manual is a Speer...

    Magpul has allocated about 1 Million Magazines for The Boulder Airlift

    I bought ten of their mags back in early Jan and when they stated a month or so ago that they were going to relocate if the law was passed, I backordered another 10 mags and posted on their FB page that I was doing it to help fund their move. I may order some of their stocks, too....just to give...

    Gun safe inserts?

    For one of my safes, I had a few guns that were too short, so....I built a false floor with the top hinged and carpeted the whole exterior. I can "hide" things in the bottom compartment and unless you knew it opened, you wouldn't think to look there - plus nearly all the long guns have to be...

    14.7 Inch Barrel Legal in CT

    IIRC, an aftermarket "drop-in" auto sear was registered as a Class III firearm in itself with legal, transferrable ones having a serial number stamped on it, and it did not matter if you did not have possession of the firearm it goes into at the same time. *SNIP*..... Edit - I did a quick...

    More than one 1911? Why?

    Parkerized, blued, brushed stainless, ultimate stainless, nickel plated, two-tone, lightweight, 3", 3-1/2", 4", 4-1/4", 5", fixed sights, adjustable sights, standard model, enhanced/Gold Cup, 45acp, 10mm 9mm, 38 Super........yeah. I can't think of any reason someone may want more than one 1911...

    14.7 Inch Barrel Legal in CT

    I saw a guy on GB sell two unregistered, drop-in, auto sears with no mention of the legality (or not) of them. Both sold as BIN. They kinda smelled of ATF to me with the lack of prior auction listings. I wouldn't put it past them to put contraband for sale and wait for the new owner to be in...

    Moving and showing the house...

    I'd just throw a blanket over the safes and if anyone asks..."Those are just a bunch of boxes of the stuff we've already packed."

    Wow. Are people REALLY paying these prices for firearms right now?

    I've turned this hysteria into a game. I had four stripped lowers that I bought the Monday after Thanksgiving and have built two of them within the last four weeks at pre-CT prices. I have two complete lower build kits sitting on the couch next to me that came in today at pre-CT prices for...

    Why would anybody buy new these days

    I am always looking for a good deal and usually new or used doesn't matter to me, as long as it is a good deal. I have only sold two guns my whole life, so I don't worry about potential resale value. The majority of my guns are worth more than I paid for them, even the ones I bought new. I...

    Springfield Armory SAR-8 HK-91

    IIRC, I also heard that the receivers are known to stretch with a higher round count Thanks! I'll have to look into this. I have resorted to only firing non-reloadable cased ammo in this gun and save the good brass for the bolt-action.

    Spending tax returns on a gun hobby?

    All of our refunds are going toward debt, right now, but we just put in offers on a rental property and a potential home for us (putting this one up for rent), so there is a chance the refunds may go toward closing costs or upgrades/repairs on any of the three properties.
