Probably! 
Quoted from Travish:We were walking aisles and saw a 1919 kit with the barrel just laying in the jacket.
Sweet! Think it was an original auto or one of the newer semi-auto production?

Quoted from Shredso:In the market for a simple .22 rifle to teach the kids on.
Hard to beat a nice Ruger 10/22 for the money. Easy to customize into a great .22 target rifle.
Quoted from xsvtoys:Looks like all 5 of those nice grandfathered 15 rd mags for the P94 will have to be gone by next July (CA SB-1446 no commentary on this here, just making the observation).
Commentary might be that the list of names associated with the flood of California anti gun bills in 2016 have big "-D's" linked beside them.
You get to vote again in a couple weeks.
Quoted from Travish:Looks like they got good taste in Tennessee. We have a lot of the same stuff.
Hey, we're neighbors! (I'm also originally from North Carolina)
Quoted from xsvtoys:My bad, that post edited.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming...
I admit to bad posting also.... I completely forgot rule #1. No more political comments.... (if possible) 
Quoted from davebart5:I've been really happy with the Aimpoint PRO optic.
Agree 100% I love my Aimpoint scopes. They are excellent!! Did you buy those lens caps separately or did they come with your Aimpoint scope? I like the flip ups, helps prevent loosing the caps.
Quoted from Kronlar:On the AR side, my two rigs are both SBR with suppressors. 300BLK and 9MM.
Isn't the subsonic suppressed .300 fantastic! First time I loaded some I couldn't believe it. Totally no need for hearing protection. All you could hear was the action of the bolt and the bullet hitting the paper target. CRAZY!

Quoted from Travish:I just moved and got everything out.
I haven't seen the back of this in years.
You're tempting me! I haven't seen some of my rifles on the back row in a LONG time. They probably could use a little loving and a good coat of oil. 
Quoted from Erik:Recommended product for removing rust but not bluing? If such a thing exists!
Have you tried giving a good scrubbing with CLP?
Hoppe's #9 has a rust remover also I believe.
Quoted from dtowndobe:I want to store the pistols in a safe along with important docs and such.
A friend of mine bought this Stack-On at the local Home Depot. It looks very nice and good price.

Quoted from Erik:Is there a specific type of foam I should buy for replacement?
Yes, there is replacement foam available. You can cut it to the size/shapes needed. Shop Amazon. Good selection and prices.
You can find it by "gun case foam", "Pelican foam" and others.
Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:I am partial to semi-autos and laser sighting.
Colt, Beretta, Glock, AMT, and Smith & Wesson.
Don't forget the Sigs.
Quoted from DeathHimself:Hence why when you do post never show serial numbers
If they are legal, why would that really matter? (honest question)
I can go in my local gun shops and write down serial numbers all day long.
Quoted from Phantom1911:But to go along with the ammo porn, here's some ammo making porn.
Nothing wrong with posting nice equipment! I use an RCBS progressive. Not as nice as that... (looks like a Dillon).
It's the only way you can make custom rounds. I can't buy subsonic .300 as well as I can make them on the press.
And for long range shooting... No way I can get the accuracy from my .300 Win Mag with off the shelf ammo that I can get with hand loads.
I used to hand load for IHMSA competition using a Thompson Center in 7mm TCU. Try to find that load at your local gun shop.
Quoted from DeathHimself:There are several reasons why you shouldn't publically have your serial number exposed in unsecured public access, pretty much the same why you wouldn't want your cars license plate exposed.
Yes you can write down all the serials from the FFL all you want, the same way you can go to a car dealership and write down all the vins you want of the cars you looked at. Once it's registered to you it's a total different story for your security reasons.
I understand concern. It's a real mixed bag of opinions. (Imagine that here on Pinside!!)
You can write down my license plate if you want, just catch me (or anyone else) on the road. I believe I even posted it on the Pinside Car Club thread! Here's the link!
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinside-car-club/page/9
Go online and you can get gun serial numbers by the boat load on about any gun auction site.
I may be just waiting for the fall or maybe I'm just now too old to worry about it. 
Quoted from Kronlar:A couple of the main reasons not to post serials were always 1) not wanting govt to tie the number to you if it wasn't already, and 2) people turning in the number to their police dept as stolen. They could then say they saw you posting it for sale and you lose it if you can't provide proof of purchase.
I always thought both were pretty far fetched scenarios, but those are a couple of the reasons used regularly.
Absolutely agree with both points if they apply.
1- Don't post a serial number if you haven't had it registered to you through the ATF.
2- Ditto the above reason

Quoted from woody24:Anyone have any experience with places milling a sight onto a gun? I've got a Colt Mustang Pocketlite, but the front sight is CNC'd with the slide. The rear sight is a dovetail sight. Just curious if I want to go through the trouble and money to have someone add a dovetail to the front sight.
Great little gun. Personally with a small pocket gun and the likely distance to target (pretty darn close), I'd leave the front sight as-is.
My pocket carry is the similar P938. Although it has a dove tailed front sight, I've not yet found the need to adjust it.
Quoted from Kronlar:Carry a 1911 officer now. A bit bigger, but I like it.
.... you Texans...

Quoted from RobT:Daryl, is that you?
After many years of wanting one, I finally picked up a nice numbers matching 1940 Police Eagle/L Mauser Luger.
A nice period correct '42 holster to go along with it.
Anyone else finally pickup that gun that you've been waiting for?

Quoted from Nevus:The twelve year old has discovered WW2 and wanted to shoot the K98. Fun day.
He's "da' man!" The 98 can kick like a mule after a few rounds if it's got that metal butt plate like mine.
Quoted from Nevus:The twelve year old has discovered WW2...
Great way to teach your 12 yo about the war history. Probably my favorite era of guns.
Not worth much, but I love my old British jungle carbine. Lot of history and heroism in these old guns.

Quoted from Dante:I would love to do some of my AK mags, as those things always look like they came from the bottom of some wet/rusty Russian ship.
GREAT gun. I love the Pap AK pistol. The Bulgarian polymer mags are nice and help take care of that rusty Russian ship effect.
The Pap is also great for an SBR conversion.
Quoted from Dante:Yep, I have a bunch of those too. But for the price, you can't beat these old beat up rusty Russian mags from the local gun show
But isnt' there a tax stamp/fee involved? Something like $200/$300? Someone at the range told me to pick up the fore-arm brace for ~$125 as it will help with your accuracy
Yes, $200 tax stamp and months of waiting. The braces work great for that added bit of accuracy. @_@
Quoted from navajas:.. On the other hand I am currently awaiting my suppressor to clear. :-/
Which suppressor are you waiting for? I picked up a Rugged Surge 762. I liked it cause it worked great for everything 5.56 - 300 Win Mag.
Quoted from Strummy:Connecticut gun laws are almost as bad as California these days. Dam there's some beautiful guns out there that I just can't have!
Which shotgun is that? Looks a lot like my Winchester Defender. I took off the composite stock and bought a new barrel and some wood from Midwestern Gun Works.
Quoted from John_I:The next few years is probably a good time to stock up though.
Agree. Current ammo prices are at a "buy" level if you need some. Sales going on every day. The political climate is good but that can change in short order.
Quoted from sed6:Yes. The absolute best finish to apply at home is Norell's Moly Resin. I have applied it to two AR's and two shotguns and it rocks!
Can't wait to try that stuff. Thanks!

Quoted from mesmashu:I just bought a Daisy Powerline 880S bb/pellet gun for $35 at Walmart. Can I join the club?
Absolutely... you need to post pics though or it didn't happen. (:
Quoted from mesmashu:Got sparrows that keep nesting in my awning and pooping all over my deck, patio furniture etc. I'm taking the fight to a new level.
Read that they're not half bad...
Quoted from Chalkey:Anyone interested in ak kits in a possible trade for a pin? I've got an unbuilt romy g kit a a well as a psl kit plus receiver, both with intact barrels I never got around to building. Other stuff as well to add to a deal if necessary. Trying to convert some old hobbies into my new love.
And I have an AK "shoulder brace" for cheap to who needs one.
Quoted from Jaeg:I'd like to see some clay shooting guns and hear about any Sporting Clay courses worth visiting.
You're way too far from TN to suggest our gun club. (: great looking shotgun there!
Quoted from navajas:I have a mini-30 and it's a horible piece of shit. Ahem, er..., I mean, anyone want to buy a Ruger mini-30? It's great! Comes with eight magazines and 1000 rounds of Wolf.
If I wasn't about 3k miles away, I'd take it right off your hands.
Could be that that Wolf crap is your problem right off.
2 weeks later
Quoted from navajas:Wolf is shit, no doubt, (again, I bought it as a young man and didn't know better) but no ammo is going to fix that barrel. I can ship it, have an FFL you like? I'm not joking. Six magazines, Ruger stock, folding stock, the works.
I've heard complaints about the barrel getting hot and causing accuracy problems. I think that's probably why someone came up with the idea of adding a barrel stabilizer. (:

Quoted from MattS:A while back I posted a pic of my Kriss Vector.
I decided to make it a Vector LE
Sweet! The Terminator edition!
Quoted from Sputnik:My AR-15 collection. The A2 without the scope I bought last fall. Got it home and checked the numbers, it was one I sold in 1990.
Nice! Such a customizable gun. Which calibers so far?
Quoted from navajas:I honestly used to be just like you man, every time someone came up with a legitimate criticism of my beloved 30 I had a list of excuses / explanation / mods / anecdotes with which to answer them. I was *this* close to sending this thing off to Accuracy Systems and dropping $1000+ to make it sweet before I came to my senses. Good money after bad.
I love the action, but that's why I have my Garand. Want my 30? It's yours. Just let me know.
Oh hell no, you're absolutely right. I don't like it that much! I just think it's a good gun for $600. Don't even know if the stabilizer bar really makes any difference but it was cheap and looks kinda cool. (:
What exactly was the issue with the gun other than considering it a piece of shit?
I agree 100% on the Garand. Absolute work of art.
Quoted from Travish:I paid $250. Great rifle.
I hope they lift the ban on historic firearms. It would be great to pickup more of these wonderful guns at nice prices. My first .30 carbine was around $150! I paid around $350 for my first Garand. Regret selling it and paid nearly $1k for my most recent one. I won't sell it again.
Quoted from bronco-jon:I really don't know enough about guns to know if they are the real deal or not. I have an opportunity to buy this Colt .45 only thing that worries me is not knowing if it's a real Colt 45 or not.
I have done some research on it and have mostly found out to watch out for fakes.
I have been reading up on some gun forums but don't really feel like creating an account just to ask questions when I already have one here and it seems like a few of you on here know your stuff about fire arms.
Is it possible to tell if this is a real Colt .45 just by the pics?
your help would be appreciated.
Have you tried plugging in the serial number and see what you get?
http://www.colt.com/Customer-Services/Serial-Number-Lookup
Yeah, it will probably list several but I think one should be similar to what your firearm is. I have a first gen SAA 32 WCF. I forked out the money for a Colt letter tracing the gun to where it was originally shipped and sold. Pretty cool Colt can do that.
I think it would be worth your time to post on a Colt forum with folks that can probably answer your question with those pics you have.

Nice to see ammo prices down these days. For 5.56 owners, best price I've seen on this in a LONG time. Some of the best I've used.
Quoted from DeathHimself:In honor of .22LR having some of the lowest prices in years, I decided to grab this little plinking piece this week to have some fun with.
Also holds the doors closed pretty well too
So even in .22 LR, does NY limit you to 7 round mags?? (Thank you again Mr. Cuomo and Mr. Schumer)
Quoted from Travish:When I got my 74's I bought enough ammo to wear them out. Kind of a lifetime supply thing.
That's my brotha'!
When the Z-pox hits, we'll meet in the middle.
Quoted from DeathHimself:Any of you guys buy an .17 HMR yet? Really toying around about grabbing one.
MikeTI loaned his wife one. (see above a few posts)

Dang.. nice! No one built me one for my 60th!
Quoted from jhozeska:A little .50 Beowulf action.
Nice Beowulf. Love it!! Ooorah!
Quoted from jhozeska:I'll follow that up with a common AR chambered in 7.62x39.
I always wanted an AR in 7.62 x 39. Great round for the AR.
I have this oddball... 6.8 SPC
Quoted from jhozeska:Personally, I've never had good luck with the AR platform. The possibilities for it are great but I've never had one that hasn't had some reliability issues (until you tweak it).
Tweaked the .300 subsonic round to where all I hear is the bolt and round hitting the target.
Quoted from MattS:Nice!
Been waiting on paperwork for 2 suppressors since last Oct, hopefully soon......

LOL!
Quoted from navajas:Jealous! Always thought the semi-auto Barret .50 was a cool concept. Semi-auto for all those double taps and quick follow up shots. You never know when you might need to hold a hill against a bunch of giant robots.
For taking out the zombie hord at a mile away.
Quoted from Chisox:Cool thread, not sure what took me so long to find it.
You've been spending too much time playing around with vinyl.
Quoted from Chisox:BTW where do y'all get your ammo? I've tried a couple online (dirt cheap and lucky gunner ammo) as well as brick and mortar stores. I'm not completely sold on any of them, although I did like the customer service at lucky gunner.
I like the folks at SGAmmo. Good prices and great service.

Of course you can always gamble and look on AmmoSeek.

Quoted from navajas:Anyone ever bought grips from this guy?
http://www.prestigegrips.com/apps/webstore/
I find them ugly as hell, but he's about the only thing I can find for aftermarket Bullpup grips.
Maybe give this guy an email. He makes nice custom grips. I bought a couple sets from him in Elk horn. The ones for my P938 are excellent, thin, and fit my small hands.

Anyone care to share their thoughts on "maintenance" plan. Looking through the safes the other day and realizing many are probably way overdue for a good lube job. I'd hate to see storage damage set in.
How often do you oil/grease in storage?
Safes have the good ol' thermal bars to help reduce moisture and dehumidifiers keep a good 50% or lower.

Quoted from navajas:Do you just load them by hand? She can't do that either. To be honest, I really struggle. I feel like I'm missing something obvious or I'm just a semi-auto pussy.
Yeah, I load them in the clips by hand. The groove in the 45 ACP cart snaps in place with mod pressure. You can use a bench for leverage. Easier than loading most mags.
The tool slides over the spent cart and is removed with a twist. Falls into the tool.
I tend to load a bunch in one sitting. Kinda like loading up 500 rnds into Enbloc clips at a time.

Any other SASS members or Cowboy Shooters out there ?
Dave
No SASS around here that I know of. Sure would be fun. I have a couple of nice SA revolvers and lever guns that would be fun to participate with.

Yes. Recently bought while late night internet and alcohol shopping.

Quoted from MrSanRamon:I've been thinking about getting a shotgun for use in home protection.
Not sure I want to get a 12 ga, but a 20 ga. seems too small.
Why a shotgun? Nice if you're in the back yard but inside the home... you're usually talking close quarters. I'd suggesting thinking hand gun or AK.
Frangible ammo is nice if you don't want it going on through to the kids room.
But then, 12 gauge Flechette rounds work pretty well too. My door can tell you a story.
Quoted from EJS:Have you been buying from the same seller? Mine usually just amends my trust and I e-sign the paper work.
Yes, I've had all my previous stuff put on the gun trust.

What would make you think that alcohol was involved?...
Quoted from EJS:I was going to ask what that door did to p*** him off.
Same thing my car did to piss me off...
In the car wash... windows up.... BOOM
Quoted from EJS:Trying to get motivated to shoot tomorrow afternoon. Being sick of the cheap range provided target holders or lack thereof; this afternoon I decided to take matters into my own hands at just under $21
Sweet!
What did you secure the top of the target with? Something to secure the bottom would be nice. The wind could turn it into a flag!
Quoted from boscokid:Have been thinking about this for a while. ... ...how many rounds is enough
The Dillon looks like such an awesome machine. For years I've used RCBS stuff but with the progressive, the accuracy just wasn't there like I hear it is with the Dillon system.
I've ended up doing case prep, sizing and priming mostly separate from my progressive. I use a Charge Master for an exact powder measure and then do the final bullet seating / crimping in the progressive.
Bored Friday. Digging into the classics safe.
So badly would love to range the Remington 03-A3. It's reportedly "unissued" since the armory recondition as a sniper.
And it's nemesis.

Quoted from JodyG:Its an expensive setup, but there is definitely a major step up in quality and engineering to go with it.
Sweet!
Quoted from EJS:Looks like more fun on the way. I just hope they never adjust that tax for inflation or I’m all done with class 3 toys
How my tax stamp check status ended up being and "attachment" blew my mind!
I knew I couldn't delete it fast enough.
Quoted from EJS:Ahhhh....it’s still showing up as of now....
Hoping that's just your cache... lol!
Quoted from EJS:I was hoping too but I went on pinside on a browser that I normally don't use and I still see them there. I can see them on my phone and laptop. Apparently these are 3 different attachments? Might not hurt to contact pinside admin at this point. I'm honestly not sure what a person could even do with that data tho. I'm not sure if that's for checking status with BCA/ATF.
LOL, yeah, it was nothing but NFA, $200 and cashed!
In the thread "pics", I just see 3 blank pics.
Quoted from JodyG:I guess it doesn't help that movies continue make them all sound whisper quiet.
Individual Form 4 about 7-8 mths.
Trust Form 4 about a year.
Covid is not going to help this.
My .300 BO, subsonic suppressed is creepily quiet!
But yes, most everything else it just saves your hearing.

AH! There it is!
The formatting is just weird.
Cashed (resized).pngQuoted from dmacy:Who went to Morgantown gun show this weekend? I went with my fat wife, her sister and husband. It was packed. 1/4 mile line to get inside and not much there. I was able to pick up another 1k of 9 but it was the last and crap.
Crazy prices right now. It's like the stock market. Wait and it'll calm down... unless....

Quoted from dmacy:I’m only at 4500 rounds of 9 but wow nothing is reasonable right now!
People say, "why so many!"
15 round 9mm mags, go to the range and shoot 15 mags worth.
That's only 20 trips to the range..... Or one assault on Negan and the Saviors.
Quoted from dmacy:I’m afraid of her! She is shooting my G48 but some of the shots are with her 365 XL.
Wives at the gun range is a good thing. From a "few" days ago.
Quoted from ralphs007:Please excuse my ignorance, what make AR 15 is your wife shooting?
It was a Daniel Defense upper with a Slide Fire stock.
Sadly the Slide Fire is gone.
Quoted from Gunnut40:How much per shot?
$2 at that time. $3 now. Certainly can go higher too.
Quoted from EJS:Do you reload for that cal? I know they used to sell a lot of pulled bullets what were easy to find. I think some of them even had tracer powder at the base of them.
No. I figured I'll not shoot enough to make it worth the investment.
I do reload 50 Beowulf. That's an easy one.
Quoted from ralphs007:Thanks, I'm going to check YouTube out ,to see if I'd be interested in building one.
I already watched a couple AR 15 videos,but nothing on building one.
EZ Peezee. Look at the Brownells videos for building your lower. The rest is really plug-n-play depending on what you want.
Quoted from JodyG:Finally found one of these...I didnt really want the Crimson Trace, but beggars can't be choosers.
Eerily similar.

Sweet engraving! Surprised it would still be there.
Quoted from JodyG:Well, their "clearance price" was MSRP. They had several others for about $400 over MSRP, so I guess that is why they are still there. Nonetheless, I am happy with the one I found. Ran 150 rounds through it at a neat little range near my family cabin. Costs a whopping $20 a year for a membership. Zero issues with factory ammo, as well as my reloads.

Nice Range!
Quoted from Coindork:My dad gave me one of the old bolt action 22 longs that I learned to shoot with when I was a kid.
The thing had just been sitting under his bed for the last 30 years and had a ton of flash rust on it.
Just finished cleaning it up. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Here’s a before and after.
That's excellent! What was your technique?

Quoted from boscokid:Can anybody recommend a good hearing protection?
From Amazon, you can get some excellent electronic noise protection. For general use, it works great.

If you are shooting big bore. Double protect with foam plugs plus ear muffs.
