      22LR, what happened this time, they are everywhere

      Only a week after the original post, I'm not sure the "they are everywhere" remains true. A lot of bare shelves in my town when it comes to .22LR. And bulk availability from online sellers of the better rounds without getting into Eley or Lapua territory seems to be declining noticeably. I...

      22LR, what happened this time, they are everywhere

      This thread's been a fascinating -- and thought provoking -- read. I've even learned stuff about free-market pricing ... and I was an English major. Numbers scare me.:( One of my favorite lines from KJQ6945 (so far) was about chuckling and moving on. That's kind of the way I've always thought...

      What tools do you keep in your go-to range bag?

      I hear ya. I think I take very good care of my guns, but the older I get the less time I want to devote to it. Only shot 4 rounds of skeet yesterday, so the little 20 gauge gas semi-auto got the quick clean today: a shot of my favorite CLP down the pipe, followed by a bore snake. Used a bit of...

      What tools do you keep in your go-to range bag?

      Me, too, re the quick cleanup of the bolt group before heading home. Re the carbon tool, I hve one of the CAT M4 tools. Does a pretty good job helping clean up the BCG and doesn't take up much room in the kit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SepQGMCMLF8

      Call from ATF: My stolen gun connected to triple homicide

      In reference to only my posts, I'm more worried about showing -- or at least being able to truthfully say -- that I sold Firearm A, B or C to an Indiana resident, cause a "whoopsies" on that one isn't a state violation. And I live in a state-line border town. So, yeah, I'm going to see ID. If...

      What tools do you keep in your go-to range bag?

      You not only may suggest, I heartily concur! I was thinking more common use of the word "tools" ... that, is hand tools ... but everything you mentioned is in the bag(s). Both the shotgun (clays) bag and the rifle/pistol bag have the Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs, spare batteries, etc. Both...

      Call from ATF: My stolen gun connected to triple homicide

      Well, WTH, now that I'm out of Illinois and living in Indiana, I supposed I could live with seeing state-issued ID to confirm a Hoosier state resident-to-resident sale...but that to me does seem the minimum that one is required to do...and I ain't going below the minimum. If someone won't even...

      Call from ATF: My stolen gun connected to triple homicide

      I guess my point is this: If something does go south and you are the last legit owner that the John Law family can find, at least one of 'em is coming to visit. Personally, I think the fastest way to get 'em out of your life is to show 'em a factual bill of sale. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm certainly...

      Call from ATF: My stolen gun connected to triple homicide

      OK. Personally, I want one for my records. In the world we live in, provenance matters -- especially if John Law gets involved down the line. I don't see recording a name and address, and taking a look at a DL to verify, as an undue burden. But, if you do, that's certainly your right.

      Call from ATF: My stolen gun connected to triple homicide

      Just curious, why do you dislike a bill of sale on a private party sale?

      What tools do you keep in your go-to range bag?

      What do you guys carry in the way of tools in your go-to range bag? I’ve been trying to pare down the range bag contents to lighten it up a bit and went over which tools live in the range bag. Here’s what I’ve decided to retain: - Screwdrivers: Boxed bit kit, little micro diver with multiple...

      First outing with new P365

      Just shot .22LRs today. I'd forgotten how fun playing with the rimfire can be. Low noise, low recoil, low cost. Good times. :)

      Shooting gloves

      Saw these today at an LGS. Not as thick as they look in the photos. Kind of cool. https://blackhawk.com/a-v-i-a-t-o-r-aptitude-gloves/

      Recommend plain black blade for Ruger MK III 22/45?

      I have a Ruger MK III 22/45 and would like to replace the front sight (light pipe) with a plain black blade. Any recommendations?

      I gave up on having 50 useful things to say and just sent INGO $25 to become a supporting member. Immediately, the pressure lifted and I no longer struggle with trying to show that have the wit and intellect necessary to hold my own in this colloquium of great minds. OTH, I find I still have...
