One more round in the breach..... The NPS is a federal agency, so there should be no incorporation concerns with any of their regulations. I would be surprised if they were not already combing through all of their paperwork - blacking out all the wording inconsistent with a (correct) individual...

I'll throw out my standard plug for these threads: FM hi-power detective. Sarco still has them, though they have upped the price to $325 which may put you just over your range when shipping and transfer fees are added in. I would also have to recommend Mec-gar magazines as a requirement for...

I highly recommend Insights. I heard that they are working on putting together another Portland GDH class soon. I attended the last one they had down here and it was worth every penny and then some. The class covers plenty of ground with most of the two days spent on the line working on...

John917 - I think that "The High Road" is a very appropriate name for this site. I too like the well moderated adult discussion, information, and advice that is available here. Glad to have been able to contribute a little.

The polymer tip is there for ballistics. IIRC Nosler's are called 'Ballistic Tips". A lead nose is easily deformed by rough handling, which would change the balance and air resistance in flight, and make the bullet fly differently than any other round. Full metal jacket points are harder than...

Around here your usual elk gun or carry pistol is all you'd want. Anything specifically put together for Harry could later be considered 'premeditation'...... They did reconsider later and lowered the fine: ;)

I'm in the exact same boat as 45crittergitter. My 760 (in 30-06) will do 1.5 moa all day, a bit better with 150 grainers that it likes. I have not had the chance to shoot a 7600 or 7615, but I understand that they are pretty similar.

FYI, WA state CPL holders have the waiting period on handguns waived. There is no waiting period on long guns here. I guess handguns must be waaaay more dangerous. :rolleyes: NCIS check still needs to be done for any dealer transfer IIRC. I believe some states have set up their own background...

All of your questions will probably be answered at http://www.homegunsmith.com. There is a lot of good information on that site. You can google "<insert favorite gun> blueprints" and find all of the machinist drawings you would like. The gunsmithing forum here on THR also has a wealth of...

I seem to remember something in the newspaper back after the collapse of the USSR regarding Poland. They had some pretty serious firearms prohibitions in place, so the local gangs in the big city started killing each other off with............. baseball bats! Of course, the official response was...

Hardhit777 - My "Hi-Power" is an FM Detective (the short slide version of their Hi-power). I am pretty happy with it. It is very accurate it is easy to carry around for me. I have not had any problems with the pistol related to the shorter length slide - all my few and minor issues have had to...

If you are looking for an inexpensive way into a BHP try Sarco's FM Argentina copies. I am pretty sure that they still have some at $299. I've put over 1500 rounds through mine and it still works, and has no major or unusual wear. The mags they send with the pistol are not that great. The...

I know that the Insights instructors are busy - most work full time at their "real" jobs. I attended a GDH class earlier in the year and it did take a little while for the confirmation email to come back, but I think that they may have been waiting to see if they had enough students to run it...

Another option is a Hi-power clone. Sarco has Argentine FM's for $299. The finnish is not as good as a Browning, but they work great and it is a classic.

Spooney - I like your thinking. How about doing an AR-15 style rifle with a short stroke pump upper? Use a system very similar to a short stroke gas piston, just actuated by the off hand instead of expanding propelant. Make the lower just different enough to NOT be a real AR reciever. It would...

Hey NC - I know I'm getting ahead here, but will book 3 reach far enough along the timeline for Valentine to get his new RFB in action? BTW, love the work - keep it coming!

Just ordered a ten pack of mags, now when are they going to ship my rifle?

I read a lot about how the fight against gun control is a cultural battle. The consensus seems to be that we have to expand the number of people in (and associated/familiar with) the community of responsible gun owners to make a real difference in politics. To do this we need as much good...

I paid $229 for mine (30-06) at a show in Portland. If you like it, the bore and chamber are in good shape, and you really like it, then yeah, you didn't do too bad. Mine had the rear leaf sight removed so a Bushnell scope would fit. I pulled the scope and installed a flip up rear sight for...

Yeah, I had a hard time seeing Washington Ceasefire publishing something like that. I do think it is good info to have in the archives here, even if the linked site is owned by one of the good guys and it never gets taken down.
