    I Guess I Really do want a 1911 after all!

    These http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=196138304 are great little pistols for carry. I had one and really liked it. I'd still have it, but the opportunity came up to do some trading for a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special. BTW - 1911's are very addicting. You buy one, you WILL...

    Supersonic crack question

    The ballistic crack is being produced as long as the projectile is traveling at a velocity greater than the speed of sound. Think about it. If the crack were given off only at the transition to supersonic, a suppressor would quiet it since the bullet is traveling at a supersonic velocity before...

    AR in 50 Beowulf or .450 bushmaster

    I love my 50 Beowulf. I use it, with Sierra 400gr JSP's, to crush rocks at the range :). Bullets aren't hard to find and you can order brass directly from Starline.

    NFA Picture Thread

    Yes, it's a P6. It was a West German police gun that was issued in November 1982. It shoots pretty well, but could use a new set of springs. Off to the Wolff website I go.

    NFA Picture Thread

    Here's my contribution. I've gotten pretty good at sighting down the can, but I'm looking into a red dot sight. Much fun.

    Experience with the Living Trust approach to Class 3?

    I had a local lawyer, who also has a class3 dealer license, draw up my trust. I took 3 months for my tax stamp to get back to my dealer. The BATFE investigator was Andrew Ashton.

    Form 4 woes

    Wow that all sounds like a massive PITA! I had to have my prints taken for a passport as well as CCW and had similar issues because I'm diabetic and have to stick my fingers on a regular basis. Out of curiosity, have you considered going the trust route for your form 4? I realized my prints may...

    What if friend opens up my guncase in my car and a cop sees this?

    From a safety standpoint, you did the right thing. From a "let's not draw any un-necessary attention to ourselves" standpoint, you did the right thing. In VA open carry is legal and at one point in time it was the only way you could carry inside a vehicle in the state of VA w/o a CCW. Recently...

    40 vs 45 Recoil?

    I think the perceived recoil depends on the platform. I've owned a G23 and FNP 40 and both were quite "snappy" compared to a 1911, but not much different than the HK 45 USP Compact that I once had. I've also owned a Sig P229 in 40S&W and the recoil was mild compared to a 1911. Snappy, not...

    Question regarding NFA items and Wills

    I've often sat back and thought what would happen if someone has an NFA item in their will and then passes. I understand that the will is going to direct the NFA item to the person denoted in the will. No issues with that. It seems that at some point after the person passes, someone in the...

    My SS# stolen.....effect on future gun purchases?

    On a side note, I say do whatever you have to do to apply for a new SSN and update where necessary. It may sound like a pain in the ass, but think what might happen if this joker sells/barters/whatever your VALID SSN to some other criminal. It may be best to make the one you have now invalid.

    I guess I'm building an AR-15. Legal or not?

    Looking at this website - http://crime.about.com/od/gunlawsbystate/a/gunlaws_mo.htm. I would say the answers are yes, yes and yes. Unless there is some silly law not allowing people under 21 to own black rifles. I didn't see it on the website though.

    Old ammo still good?

    My pop has 8mm Mauser ammo that was produces by the Germans in WW2. It's in good physical shape, accurate and goes bang when you pull the trigger. 8 years ain't nothing....shoot the ammo if it's in good physical shape!

    Remembered the one in Radford - T&J Tactical. Hope I'm correct here - http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/FFLDealers/FFLDealerDetails.aspx?sid=13514 From what I've heard they have decent prices. Sorry, no first hand experience.

    Class 3 dealer near Roanoke V.A.?

    There's also another class 3 dealer in the Radford area. I just can't seem to remember the name. Check with the fellas at Trader Jerrys in Salem. I know at least one of them, "little Aaron" as we call him, has purchased cans form the place in Radford.
