    Anyone helping to ease ammo demand?

    Hi all, I am not looking to buy, just looking to see if you know anyone who is selling off part of their ammo and/or reloading component stash. The way I am thinking about this is that for any ammo and/or reloading components that are released from a someone's personal stash, those sales help...

    Liquidation of Large (100+) Firearms Collection

    If the fees aren’t too high, you might see about having an auctioneer setup an auction. Just get it all out of the way in one day. It seems to me that a lot of people overpay at auctions, which of course is good for you and your mom.

    Safety Violation Say Something Or MYOB

    Yes, usually the action is open of course. If I am trying to see the inside of the barrel then the action will be open and I might hold the action up to the light on my workbench, which gives a nice bright view down the barrel. However, if I am just looking at the muzzle, then I won't...

    Safety Violation Say Something Or MYOB

    I am not trying to be a jerk, but the only issue that I see is that event occurred outside where others could see. I am not joking, but pointing a gun at oneself is not a problem if the gun has been checked and confirmed to have an empty chamber. When I am cleaning or perhaps getting ready for...

    Need more insurance than just my renters

    Thanks Texas. I just got off the phone with them after making my post. It seems like it has gone up to $150.

    Need more insurance than just my renters

    OP here. Finally back after a lot of traveling. I appreciate all the replies, everyone. I will be taking more measures on security when I get a house, but for now I can' do much about it. I reinforce the door of my apt when I am home, or at least before going to bed. This should be my last...

    Need more insurance than just my renters

    Hello everyone, I know I have seen this discussed, but several searches haven't yielded any fruitful results on prior threads. I have basic firearms coverage ($1,500) on my renter's insurance, which hasn't been enough for a while, but recently I have added more guns and I think I want to...

    Help me customize my range/match toolbox

    Thanks for the ideas guys. I am not sure if I can envision how the foam would work in terms of storing the mags upright and easily accessible, with the whole "system" staying in place. The footprint for this can really only occupy 1 1/2" by 17", along back wall of the toolbox. The rest of the...

    Help me customize my range/match toolbox

    Jesse, Thank you. Yeah I was considering an interior wooden frame as well. That might actually be a top contender. Are there pockets ready for purchase? I have some old jean material, but no sewing machine. If I had a sewing machine, I would have already started on making my own pockets...

    Help me customize my range/match toolbox

    Hey everyone, I have always used a toolbox as range bag since I live in an apartment. I recently got myself an old American made all metal toolbox (nice upgrade from the cheaper metal/plastic hybrid that I've been using for years). I want to customize so that I can neatly store the mags...

    Text message from Everytown/Mom Demand Action

    Hello all. Just writing to share this with you. Has anyone else received such a text? I received a text from Everytown yesterday afternoon. It read, "Hi there, it's Connie w/ Everytown/Moms Demand Action. Today, yet another community has been devastated by gun violence--this time in El...

    Toaster oven or dehydrator?

    When I am done rinsing a batch of 9mm brass, I dump into a good sized wire colander. I shake for a few seconds then let it drip for a minute, then maybe do that one more time. At this stage I dump the brass onto a old t-shirt, and hold the shirt like a hammock and swish brass back and forth...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Would you be able to explain your comment further? What does my time have to do with it? I cannot trade my time and find out more by doing "legwork" on my own in this case anyway, as far as I can tell. They are the only ones that hold the information that can help me in this situation. If a...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Thanks ArchAngelCD, I appreciate the help you have given me. I would, but it isn't worth it. I understand that S&W loves their customers enough to charge them $75 per letter, which I find quite distasteful.

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    ArchAngelCD, I appreciate the help you are giving us here. Would you be able to provide any more information? As noted, the hammer is bobbed. I looked up my records and the gunsmith told me it was "rare" to leave factory in that configuration. My original post is 6941 and the follow up one...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Thank you. It does have a bobbed hammer, forgot to mention that. I think I remember the gunsmith saying it was a special order for detectives. Maybe it wasn't NY. I don't know.

    To shoot or not to shoot

    Maybe I am looking at this through a very narrow lense, but the way EIB0879 described it in the OP, I don't think it was his father's wish. It was a suggestion on the assumption that it could be worth a lot one day if left unfired. The fact that he was thinking that it could be very valuable...

    Wearing Out Firearms

    As lysanderxiii points out, guys running 100 rounds a month aren't wearing out their guns. However, there are folks out there shooting a lot more than that. I currently budget for about 650 rounds of 9mm per month and may step that up to about 1,000 per month next year. Of course, even my...

    Finally Going To Try Some Competition

    Regarding Fredericksburg I know some good guys that live around Lynchburg that shoot Roanoke idpa/uspsa and also down in Christiansburg (for idpa and where I met them), but they started going to Fredericksburg as well last year. They love it. I believe I have heard they have several large...
