    The business model behind shooting range lane rentals

    After searching through THR for posts about this subject I'm soliciting the board on some business questions regarding the business operations of indoor shooting ranges. As I understand it indoor shooting ranges are, generally speaking, a less risky business than operating a gun store...

    07 or 01 FFL questions

    While its true that you must keep business hours, the business hours can be as little as 30 minutes open each week. An acquaintance of mine who became a 01 holder 2 years ago put those hours on his app and got it approved.

    St. Louis Gun Shops

    Krusty - If you sell through gunbroker you will have the option in many circumstances to ship to the FFL the buyer wishes to use as long as shipping to from a non-ffl to a ffl is legal in their state. Not all FFLs accept shipments from non-ffls, so it's best to check prior to the exchange of...

    Weapons Engineering jobs?

    Working in an engineering capacity in firearms design is a very niche engineering specialty when compared to hundreds of thousands of mechanical, structural, aerospace engineering positions out there. With that being said you can take the route of contacting all the major firearm...

    Why are Poly Tech AK's so expensive on the used market?

    Pre-89 AK and AK variants such a Polytechs, Norinco, Valmets, Galil, and Maadis are all 100% factory rifles in their original military configurations and can no longer be imported into the US. As such they command a certain collectors' value due to these factors. Mechanically and practically...

    ACR's are now for sale...

    Price will stay around 2,500 for the next 18 months or so then we'll begin to see it gradually go down to 1,500 over the course of 2 years there after. Bushmaster is going to setup the production run to minimize excess capacity because it only eats out of their bottom line to do so otherwise...

    Help! Anti-gun Girlfriend.

    My girlfriend is pretty progressive, but I was eventually able to get her to accept my gun hobby through framing my ownership in a concept she could understand. I told her I collected firearms and I have a FFL. I didn't go into detail about what a C&R is or what I could or couldn't do with it...

    Are firearms in an entirely different economy of their own?

    As others have mentioned there is still big demand from military for ammo. Big commercial manufacturers such as ATK are using most of their capacity for the war effort and there is little incentive to invest into new equipment beyond what the military is paying for when in 5 years time the...

    Moving to KC

    Living in Missouri is going to be a whole lot cheaper than living in Mission Hills, PV, Overland Park, or Leawood, but you'll take a hit on the schools if you have kids.

    Internet Buying and Selling?

    Shear Stress's vigiliance comment is dead on. I follow a few different gun classifieds, auctions, and webforums, mostly ones that have rss feeds, that way when someone puts up an item I am notified by smart phone. I've picked up a Norinco type 56 for 500 bucks, an ARS fn fal for 750, an...

    Transfering a Receiver as a Pistol instead of a Rifle

    It very well may be different understandings of the law. For the dealers I called I specifically stated I was an out of state resident, so I don't think it was a miscommunication.

    Transfering a Receiver as a Pistol instead of a Rifle

    What's interesting is after calling up a few different dealers to see if they'd facilitate an out of state receiver transfer, some said it was illegal and they wouldn't do it, others said it was legal and they would do it.

    Transfering a Receiver as a Pistol instead of a Rifle

    What I'm interested to know is the ATF's interpretation on whether a transfer of a Receiver by a ffl to an out of state resident is legal considering a receiver can be made into a handgun.

    has anybody flown w/firearms since the most recent terrorist attempt?

    Flew out of STL yesterday with no problems, although this was the first time flying US airways with a firearm and they asked to look at the firearm at the kiosk. TSA gave me no issue.

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    That's an answer to a question I didn't ask. Most ar-15s on the market have 5.56 chambered barrels from Green Mountain. I've yet to see an ar-15 barreled marked .223 specifically.

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    Are there AR-15s out there chambered in .223 Remington specifically? I know there are many who claim to be ARs chambered in .223 whereas the barrels are really 5.56.

    Silencers: legal in Missouri?

    Like I said before a few months back, you need a ffl to get a silencer, but a C&R counts as a FFL, so you must get your C&R then fill out a form 4 to get a silencer. Once the the form 4 gets approved with tax stamp you can buy one. If you're in St. Louis area, go to C&S metalwerkes, they...

    Why the continuing ammo shortage?

    I'm seeing ammo prices on the internet continue to fall, hard to call it a shortage when popular rifle ammo is approaching pre-2008 levels.
