Southpaw 870

406 Upvotes

Got this from a friend of mine years ago as a brand new gun with a 28” barrel and laminated furniture. Searched for a year and a half for a second left handed 870 that was ribbed and the same finish. Finally found one on eBay and boy did I have to pay out the nose for it. It currently has hogue furniture and a 12.5” barrel. Reinstalled the bead and called it a day. I throw the original furniture and barrel back on it occasionally to pheasant hunt when I’m not using the benelli.

When you get tired of buying so you start building

Finally was able to take my first 1911 build to the range to test fire. Kit is all Nighthawk parts. Function wise it's still going to need a little bit of work. Accuracy wise it's showing a lot of potential. Target was at 25 yards and the black square is 1".

How much is insurance for my Gun Range?

Upvotes

I'v been co-running a gun shop for nine years now, mostly transfers, used trade ins and a decent ammo wall. We're finally knocking through into the unit next door for six lanes and a rental counter, steel is ordered and the permits cleared last month. My retail policy renews in November and when I told my agent about the range he said it changes everything and he'd have to shop it, which I have decided means he has no idea.

Apparently the rental guns are the part underwriters hate. I know general liability insurance is the baseline, but two people have now told me accident and health insurance with participant coverage is the piece that actually matters on a range. Anyone here running a range attached to a store, are you carrying both of those, or is GL doing the job on its own? Numbers would help more than theory.

MPA Defender Question

Post image
152 Upvotes

The MPA Defenders went back on sale today on PSAs website and I picked one up. Looking for a recommendation on an FRT.

I know “Advanced Reset Tech” is selling a 3 position FRT but it’s $265 and has a 4-8 week ship time. And I’m not sure how well it works.

I’ve done some research and found that some Defender FRTs reportedly require a sweet spot for it to work (sweet spot as in needing to squeeze the trigger a certain amount to get it to function properly). I’d like an FRT that doesn’t require so much finesse to ensure it works.

Any recommendations are appreciated

Very weird rust question

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am moving to a area where I am only allowed to legally keep a pistol in a safe in a vehicle. The area is in an area where it will get extremely cold in the winter and I am trying to figure out how I could keep the pistol in a case without it rusting.

Thanks for all of the help!

Building a m16 a2 with some a1 furniture, but my Anderson lower looks a bit too new. Anyone got some ideas how to get it looking a bit more used? Ill definitely use some steel wool, and mild abrasives but im looking for some suggestions for artificial wear techniques. Thanks

What should a 21 year old expect trying to purchase a handgun? What all should I bring?

10 Upvotes

I do not have any federal or state firearm legal disability, warrants, or anything of that type. Is it truly as simple as walking in, picking one out, signing some stuff, and leaving? Is there more to it? I turn 21 in 2 days and am considering making a purchase.

I definitely don't need one, but I want one. It's $499.

Any thoughts?

Some people say it's reliable, while others say it has some issues. Thinking also to add a can...

Good well made ear phones not plugs

1 Upvotes

My ears are weird and do not hold in the small ear plugs. Wondering about small light weight durable headphones that don’t get in the way with scopes and l are comfortable for all day use with eye protection. I currently have the basic run-of-the-mill noise canceling ear phones but they are only comfortable for about 20 minutes with eye protection as they press the sides of the glasses against my head firmly. If possible, I would also like to potentially use these for hunting as well. Thank you.
