    wait time update (hint, it's now 10 months)

    I got my 2 Form 4s in hand May 7th that had been mailed April 20th 2018. They cashed the check April 26th, approval date was Apr. 30th so my approval was actually 369 days. I had called in November (before the shutdown) and was told "pending FBI background check". In March I called again and it...

    .223 loads- wth?

    I have started loading up some .223 for my AR-15 based varmint rifle. The results to date have been discouraging- weird almost. On the weekend I took out some loads to the range and did some test firing. Batch #1 Winchester brass Winchester primers BL-C(2) 24.4 gn Hornady Match #2278 BTHP...

    Reloading for the FAL

    IIRC the Indian stuff is all Berdan primed. You might have to bin it. Bullets should be 147gn FMJBT, can be loaded with all sorts of powders. Keep an eye on the classifieds on gunboards and thefiringline for people selling Lake City brass. You have to swage/ream the primer pockets but it...

    How is Montana?

    I moved here last June. Love it. Have a job managing a startup in Missoula. Making as much money as I was before I left San Fransicko. I think I am up to the state average for guns. I have bought 6 since I got here. Plus 20 stripped lowers (for an investment). Next? A FN-FNC full-auto...

    Scope rings for a Varmint flat top AR-15

    I am building a precision AR with a Rock River stainless bull-barreled 20" upper, and with a Magpul Precision adjustable stock. Topping it with a Super Sniper 10x42. That's the known stuff. The unknown is- how high should I make the rings to get a good cheek weld? The Magpul stock is...

    Auction goodies!

    The budget was stretched, but I think that some of these will only go up in value so I was able to convince myself that these were investments. Yeah, that's what it was. This year I have gone a little overboard, in addition to the above I had 2 FALs built by Rich at CGW, one an StG-58 clone...

    New Special Ops Show -- THE UNIT

    Other minor (or major) annoyances- Why take a crew of 5 out to the aircraft if only one man is going to be inside shooting at the bad guys? I thought that when you storm an aircraft you actually "storm" it. They made a point of getting 2 MP5s but neither is seen again? Top sends the new...

    Shooting Housewives show on Oxygen!

    I was just flicking through the channels, and saw a promo for some new show on Oxygen(!). The thing that made me stop was a bunch of full-auto gunfire and things exploding. I completely missed: a) When the premiere is 2) What the show was called (I thought it was "Shooting Housewives"...

    Unpleasant experience at airport

    Your assessment on their training would be based on what exactly? A few MSM reporters doing puff-profile stories or the government's own press releases? My understanding is that Scouts at a Jamboree get better firearms training. madkiwi

    CA: SF Bay Area Shoot (September)

    Considering I am debating the sanity/merits of purchasing a 1919a4 myself, I vote for whatever day sned45 can make it. BTW, CDNN Investments had ORF 1919's in .308 for $999 in this month's catalog, $9.99 shipping. Of course an M2 tripod to sit it on is another $500, but one step at a time...

    Craigslist score on a Surefire Millenium!

    I wanted a Surefire Millenium M500A for my M4gery, until I priced them. As you all may know- msrp is $515, I could get one for $390 from a dealer here on thr. Still too much, IMHO, as I am cheap. Not so cheap that I would just duct tape a 6P light to the handguard though, and I didn't want to...
