    Baby Browning Jamming.

    If you eliminate the magazine as the issue, the other issues would be either the recoil spring or the extractor.

    Moving to Colorado with magazines >15 rds that I have owned since prior to 2013

    I applied for a job in CO circa 2014/15 and I was kind of in the same boat as you (all my date codes mags were pre 2013 though). Here is what I was told when I contacted CO sheriffs: per above wording of the law, you could bring in “preban” mags if they had no date or were date coded. Mags with...

    My MP-30 Build Disaster: Don't Let This Happen to You.

    Here’s my experience with gun smiths and custom builders: With regards to requests like yours, there are very few that can realize a customer’s dream and produce exactly what the customer wants. That is why the greats cost what they do. Really great gunsmiths know when to say, “no, I can’t do...

    Why not more stainless steel?

    Personally, I like my semi-autos all black and my revolvers blued (or that M&P black finish). I can’t stand reflective anything on guns. I’ve always associated stainless guns with older guys- now that I’m almost 40, that would be folks in their 80s. Given that generation is passing away, that...

    7.62x25

    I honestly don’t understand why we don’t have more guns chambered in 7.62x25 or 9x18. The ammo is available. I think it’s more of a reluctance on manufacturers to produce it. Years ago, when magnum research was making their Kevin clones (micro eagles), I asked if they’d be doing a 9x18 version...

    Final nail for Remington?

    I just double checked; it was the model 887 shotgun. Sorry to cause panic!

    Final nail for Remington?

    The writing was on the wall when Remington recalled every 870 and 700 made since 1960-something a couple years ago. Everything else they make is basically a copy of someone else’s invention (1911, rohrbaugh, etc.). Norinco makes a better 870 than Remington and it’s cheaper. Remington...

    .22 LR "Pocket Pistol" -- Beretta 21A Bobcat vs. Ruger LCR II?

    The issue isn’t the build of the pistol, it’s muzzle energies exceeding 130 ft/lbs. https://berettausa.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1048/kw/Beretta%203032 Basically, people use hot .32acp loads meant for European SMGs and wonder why their pocket pistol’s frame is cracking.

    Are any 7.62*39 steel case ammo brands “better” than others?

    Until ranges started banning steel case ammo a couple years ago, I shot steel cases almost exclusively. I think people were mixing 5.45 armor piercing in with their commercial ammo when the surplus stuff was washing over the market 2009-2011ish. That’ll eat the backstop up. So, it was probably...

    Are any 7.62*39 steel case ammo brands “better” than others?

    Assuming you’re shooting out of an AK or SKS... “Comblock,” ammo is basically divided into two categories, “animal brand”- brown bear, wolf, monarch, barnaul, golden tiger, etc. and “Cold War nostalgia” - Red Army, TulAmmo, Romanian Arms. It all shoots and feeds the same. The only ammo I...

    Bullpup shotgun in NYC

    The issue is not the SAFE Act. The issue is that NYC prohibits long gun magazines greater than 5 rounds. The Kel-Tec holds 7, in a fixed tube. read the last paragraph under “magazines.” http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/downloads/pdf/permits/ny_safe_act_letter_re_lcafd_2013_05_v9.pdf My personal...

    Breaking News: New York AG seeks to dissolve NRA in new lawsuit

    5 years ago, I would have said the same thing but this year, they’ve done almost nothing with regards to legislation. Their website updates with breaking news that’s days old. They’re moving at the speed of dial-up in a fiber optic world. I honestly think they’re trying to keep the checks coming...

    Breaking News: New York AG seeks to dissolve NRA in new lawsuit

    Ever since a whole bunch of their leadership resigned a couple years ago, the organization has been a hollow shell. There’s been almost a complete lack of legislation of any kind being brought forward. The fact that they have been completely mute during this time of civil unrest is telling. Not...

    Short barrel AR legality in NJ

    The ATF uses the term “register,” with regard to NFA weapons. The OP’s question is how people get short barreled ARs in NJ. The answer is, they are registered AOWs. He needs to fill out a form 1.

    ammo pricing question

    Half our ammo comes from overseas. Taiwan was not shut down at all. Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia were not. Sweden was not... I think the distributors failed to plan again. They said the same thing in 2012/13. Prices will come back down. Logically, at some point, people will be stocked up...

    ammo pricing question

    Having worked for an FFL before and during a panic, I can tell you that distributors don’t change their costs drastically. Not enough to justify extreme high costs some dealers are charging. For everyone who’s new to guns, this same thread pops up every panic. Raw materials are still coming in...

    ammo pricing question

    Most distributors (companies dealers buy from) keep costs relatively the same. It is then up to the dealer, what they want to charge. If you see a price that fluctuates more than a couple dollars, the dealer is the one doing the massive markup. To add: whenever we complain about dealer’s high...

    Short barrel AR legality in NJ

    People are registering virgin AR receivers as AOWs on an ATF Form 1. There is no NJ law regarding AOWs.

    Advantage of Metric LH thread pitch?

    They’re standard in Europe. Honestly, I prefer them but you do pay more because they’re less common here.

    I'd like to hear from members where the shelves are NOT bare

    Plano, TX area. Big box stores getting ammo and guns trickling in. Turkish guns coming in pretty steady. It’s the little stores that don’t order in the quantity of the big ones that are having trouble getting stuff in. Some of the purchasing is the mom and pop shops coming short on inventory...
