      Federal fires back

      Yep, several of the old timers (me included) have advised all shooters to accumulate ammo for several years. All it takes is a small effort to purchase TWO boxes of ammo when you are going to the range instead of buying one box you intend to use! Cut out Starbucks, Save up a few bucks and make a...

      My new m70

      I have (IMO) a beautiful AK! So if you want to make yours a "pretty one" bad enough you can do it! I purchased a Mac 90 from a private party that appeared to be un-fired. Then I purchased a Walnut furniture set from Iron Wood designs for about $300, changed several parts to make the rifle...

      Early education

      Can't disagree with your ideas. Just wonder how my generation survived (I'm 79). In the 1940's and 50's, I was raised in a small town in northern Indiana. In that era and location, at least 90% of all the rural homes had at least one firearm exposed usually by the back door. These were used to...

      Selling firearm, Get receipt or not

      I follow BATF rules period, I don't add anything. I do have to obtain names and address for C&R firearms as this is a requirement of my C&R license, but as to "modern" firearms, the requirements state that you may sell to any resident of the state in which you reside as long as you "do not know...

      Brace Ban

      I feel as most here do, that there should be "NO RESTRICTIONS" on our 2nd amendment rights! However Trump has done the ONE THING that has the MOST EFFECT on retaining these rights! That is the appointment of the Supreme court judges that are (or are at least as their record of decisions...

      Gun show vendors’ rules and regulations?

      I've purchased several firearms from private persons and collectors at GS's, only thing they required was a hand full of cash. Most then gave me the gun and a hand written signed receipt with the serial number and gun description on it. After I obtained my C&R license, if the firearm was a Curio...

      Introducing Ladies To Guns

      I agree with you 100% about giving anyone new to firearms a large caliber to start with, women, children or even men! Been several years now that I started two of my young grandsons shooting. We were all at my sons rural home (their fathers) and his younger brother was also with me. I began by...

      Stopped purchasing from Primary Arms

      I have had my VISA Debit card hacked 2 or 3 times in the last 15 years. Each time the card company has caught it and it didn't cost me a dime. Last time I asked the person who called if it was due to me using the card online - she said no, it probably was picked up by scammers that hacked into a...

      What's the current market on AK rifles?

      Nope, won't sell anything. Have several firearms, LOT's of ammo and reloading supplies, between my youngest son and I (He will be 50 this year). Haven't shot any since the Covid-19 hit in Feb., but hopefully a vaccine will be found soon and we will start shooting again, Probably only have enough...

      Talk me out of a 338 lapua, or into

      My youngest son (he is nearing 50 - ex military) and I discussed purchasing a long range rifles several times. We have several Hi-power rifles in .308, 7.5X55, 6.5x55, 30-06, .303, 7.62X54R Russian, 8mm Mauser .300 Win Mag. etc.. We were looking at the Lapau, but after some research regarding...

      9mm Freeze out

      I have seen you posting about this several times - seems like some just can't learn! I also have stated this when ammo and firearms were dirt cheap. Like you I have no worries about running out of any caliber ammo I regularly shoot. If some that are complaining now would have given up their...

      Building A Backstop and Need Some Help

      My son is in process of building one now. He is planning on using used light poles from our local utility company and attaching plywood to the poles - he has used these poles before for other projects. As I recall they charge $2.00 each, bad part is that they are pretty hard to haul as they are...

      Jacked up prices...

      You are absolutely correct Kirk. Several of the old timers (me included) have often advised the newby's and some not so new to buy what they could afford when the prices were low. Too many think they have enough when their next range trip is covered! My youngest Son (He is approaching 50) and I...

      Private party sales - what's the common etiquette?

      In my opinion for what its worth YES! There is absolutely no reason to ask for a gun permit. I have friends that do not carry a firearm nor want to, but they are hunters or target shoot. The Federal requirements do not require you to determine that you are not selling to a "criminal"! They...

      Have you priced 9mm lately?

      Here we go again! Son and I have been collecting Guns AND ammo for many years. We have enough to last at least till my Great grandchildren start shooting heavy. Then we (probably just my son or my grandchildren) will probably need to cast some bullets - yeah we have 3 lead pots, many pounds of...

      When to introduce your kids to firearms?

      Can't remember exactly when I started my boys, probably around 6 or so. I did shoot at my middle son's rural home and let them shoot 22's at about 6 or 7 after several safety lessons. Let the older boy shoot a (reduced charge) 50 cal muzzle loader at the same time. Then he wanted to shoot my...

      Experts by virtue of Occupation?

      I think the people that are asking for advice do not recognize that the same firearm may be loved by one "expert" and hated by another. For instance I don't mind the recoil from a 44 mag handgun, or 30-06 rifle while some people won't fire those guns. I am 6' 3" so have a long reach - most long...

      Rise of the 10mm

      Once the Covid 19 issue is figured out (vaccine or similar) I will probably pick up one of the 10mm carbines just to play with! Then pick up the dies etc. and buy some bullets and brass. I'm sure son and I have enough powder and primers in stock. It will be a new caliber for us. We reload over...

      Norinco Mak 90 Sporter

      I purchased a Mak 90 a few years ago from local lad for as I remember around $350.00. He said it had not been fired and after disassembly I believe it. I changed the stock and parts to make it 922(R) compliant and also added a POSP Russian Scope with quick mount. I saved all the original parts...

      Considering 6.5 Grendel AR - Seeking Advice and Open to Alternatives

      My son and I have assembled 3 Grendel AR's in the last year. Due to my wife's health issues I have not been able to shoot mine yet. However my son has done quite a bit of targeting at his home range with his, and the one I gifted to my DIL has also been shot some. She is pretty proud that she...
