Assuming Ruger didn't make a typo when they sent that, I would drill and tap to a larger standard size, probably 8-32 or M5x0.8.

Never did get anywhere on the phone, but I used this (as found on https://www.atf.gov/firearms/applications-eforms ) And eventually they notified me by email that the form was corrected. I was waiting until mid-May to submit, hoping maybe the whole thing would be resolved by then, but it's a...

Yes, seriously, about six hours. About half of that on the phone (on hold or getting transferred several times) trying to get them to resolve a problem with their form. Their database didn't recognize that my zip code could apply to two counties, so it wouldn't let me enter my actual address...

...except for the cost of the electronic fingerprinting service and my time (about six hours: setting up an account, digging up old records, making sure I understood the red tape, resolving a problem with their forms specific to my zip code, driving two towns over to get my fingerprints scanned...

Two still in process - submitted on the afternoon of 5/31. I suppose I'm "that guy", but I was waiting to see if there was any late breaking news.

Thanks! After a 30-minute hold, the given answer was to submit the form, followed by an "Ask the Expert" question with the 1. the ID of the submitted form 2. a description of the error, and 3. the correct county information,

To be brief, ATF Form 1 (5320.1) limits the selection of county based on zip code and won't let me enter my actual county of residence. My zip code has roughly 98% of its residents in one county - and I am in the lucky 2% in the other. Suggestions? Submit with the wrong county?

A friend of mine bought three "gunsmith special" CZ-52s back in the day for next to nothing - and as usual I worked on them for him. Two failed the "pencil test" - the other had a broken firing pin. All three needed extractor springs, and one had galled rollers. I dropped Harrington refurb kits...

How about a motto instead? I always thought "ultima ratio de libera populi" ("The last resort of free people") would work well.

I've seen a few - the USFA Zip .22 for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USFA_ZiP_.22 . Ergonomics that bad are certainly the exception, though, and the market seems to sort it out quickly enough.

Sounds like you need a Labradar retriever... :neener:

https://www.regulations.gov/document/ATF_FRDOC_0001-0049 The numbering scheme is a bit of a mess (as is the writing of the regulation) so pardon me if this is off, but I believe the reference is to [IV.B.3.a.(6).b.vii Adjustability] which begins: 'A majority of the commenters disagreed with the...

By definition, no, it will not operate under "worst case conditions", because if it is still operating, I can make the conditions worse until it doesn't. Q.E.D. I'll settle for operating under "reasonably adverse conditions", and I'm fine if my criteria for that don't match someone else's.

No, I didn't feel like messing around with it, and fortunately didn't have to. The story is that I bought three new 47Ds that wouldn't run in any 1911 I tried (several different brands, including Colt and SA) The followers would bind up, and slide hold-open rarely worked. Probably just a bad...

For me MecGar is great, but definitely NOT Wilson, especially 47D. YMMV, so trying a few is a great plan.

Yup. A casual "Mind if I dry fire?" (sounding like I expect a "yes"). Only denied once, a fairly nice blued custom shop revolver - the shop guy gave me an apologetic "you know how some guys are about turn lines, so unless you're really serious..." I wasn't, so I completed the rest of my...

Since we're trying to be more precise, the UK does not explicitly recognize "recreation" as a defense for violations of section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act of 1988. Those are enumerated as: See https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/33/section/139 It's possible, even likely, that...

They still had the one yard when I took my class. I was 24/25.., Missed the final shot at one yard because I was using .45 ACP +P and the prior muzzle blasts had the target flying nearly horizontally. Left a several inch long elliptical hole, complete with powder burns, in the lower center of...
