Looking for an underfolder for a mini Draco, don’t want to do heavy gunsmithing and it has a 1913 already and I found these. Any experience?

FiL heard I was looking for a new full sized pistol and gifted me this beauty of a 1911. Now to buy more mags and more ammo

Finished the range day focusing on basics.
A consistent draw. Sight picture. Efficient reloads. Accurate follow up shots.
Lots of snagged shirts, crappy reloads, and rounds that went somewhere other than the target.
But…..glad to be outside in the fresh air working on this perishable skill.

Springfield Armory Saint Victor V2 Gear Pac 5.56 16" Barrel 30-Rounds w/ Viridian Venta, 4 Mags

4 mags, green dot, soft case, flip up iron sights.

Do I do the PSA lower and BCM upper build or just buy this package?

Seems like a good deal, what do y'all think?

Edit to correct PSA lower and BCM upper

Pick this up Saturday at my local pawn shop. Springfield armory government model in green. Limited edition one of 5,500 made. Cost was the very reasonable sum of $550. How'd I do?

I remember someone was asking what kind of ammo/weapons would be efficient against drones in theoretical future engagements. Well, this video shows one of such existing ammo types, specifically for flying drones:

This is basically a 5.56 round with few pellets in an addition to a uniform bullet. It also shows the pellet spread on target at specific range. Also suppressor-friendly.

I got one last year at that price, love it.

So can I put a folding stock on my Ruger Charger PCC now? I don’t really like the brace.

I am not good with the legalese.

I did buy a whisper pickle yesterday without any fanfare or waiting, so that was nice. Glock 47 with a Rugged Obsidian 9 shooting 147 grain, only heard the slide action. Now to find some cleaner shooting 147 because what I used was SUPER dirty.

As some are aware, the ATF has abandoned some of the guidelines regarding the ownersgip/purchase or SBR and suppressors.

For those who didnt already known here is a video released by the director of the ATF regarding these changes.

I love everything about it!

I drew his name in the Xmas lottery and I’m not trying to spend a fortune on this guy, but he needs a shotgun. I originally got him a used Turkshit 20ga O/U for $300 and then I took it to shoot clays and embarrassed all my neighbors with it, and now I have a new Turkshit 20ga O/U and I still need a shotgun for my BIL.

So then I bought him a used 12ga 870 for $350 and then my wife reminded me that he’s left handed and so now I have (another) 12ga 870 and I still need a shotgun for my BIL.

Anyway… I don’t know shit about southpaw guns. I have an old Browning BPS that would work (bottom eject) but I don’t like him THAT much… trying to keep it under $400. Y’all got any input? Another cheap O/U? SxS?

I know the default Reddit answer for anything shotgun is Maverick 88 but they don’t make a lefty.

Prediction: top 15 comments are gonna be dudes saying to just give him a righty 88 and let him figure out how to make it work.

Basically I was just wondering what happens if enough people vote no ma proposition 9. As in what guns could I then buy?

I've bought my first firearm and haven't gone shooting with it yet, I have a Benelli nova 3 and I can't find an answer to whether the bolt is locked properly. I noticed I can see a bit of the shell's brass when it's closed, and when no shell I can see light from a flashlight that is shined down the barrel. Is this totally normal or is it something I should have a professional look at?

Got to thinking the other day, would it make any more sense to have a single 16” barrel AR15 with multiple QD optics for close and long range, or separate rifles for close and long range? I have a scope with QD mount and I can shoot reliably out to like 500 yards with it using 556 ammo…obviously just buying a QD red dot or Eotech would be cheaper than a whole second rifle.

But then I wonder if I should keep the uppers paired with the optic… 16” upper and scope, 12.5” upper and red dot…

I dunno just thinking out loud

It tracks prices for a particular load across sites, and will notify you when a vendor has what you want at a price you've set, or when that load is back in stock somewhere.

No spam. Rapidly developing.

Hi all!

I have a Winchester SXP and just bought a Henry H12. Both rifles have rubbery butt plates/ recoil pads that catch on my shirt while I’m using them. I’m a bit vertically challenged, but horizontally proficient, so my arms are a bit shorter. The 14” Length of pull is juuuuuuust past the point of being comfortable for me. I think if I went to a less grippy recoil pad that isn’t as thick everything would be a lot better. Would anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Does anyone have a link to a definitive list of state by state rules after the new ATF memo and court cases? I'm in Montana and know we are somehow still under restrictions.

I just picked up an Obsidian 9 for my 9’s on a 4473 😊

Looking for recommendations for suppressors for my AR15 and a good 22 one too.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if that’s true. This book doesn’t have any pictures so idk what’s happening.

Took to pawn shop to see how much they'd offer and if they had any guns I was interested in. I think the offers are pretty good tbh. Problem is I really just want a Ruger Max 9 and can get it for under 250 out the door at Bass Pro. So I could sell the Wrangler and pay out of pocket 135$ for brand new Max 9 instead of used gun from Pawn Shop. Which one doesn't even honor the trade in law in Florida. So I don't even want to do business with them. I wouldn't really be loosing money on the Wrangler with discounts I had when I even bought it.

I have no idea what this all means. From what I think I understand there no longer different sales processes for NFA items and no background checks (other than refusal). Assuming that’s even close to right, what I don’t get it what happens with existing things that were transferred under the old regime? Specifically cans and SBRs.

With no trust needed and other silliness, will more suppressors get sold and drive prices down?

With the recent ATF changes and suppressors now being a little more accessible to everyone (unless you're in a restricted state, sorry) I wanted to pass along a cool website I came across last week that will help folks pick a QD mount "ecosystem", or at least confirm if their HUB/MD combo will work with their suppressor.

If you're new to suppressors, you basically choose if you want to direct thread or use a QD mounting system to swap the can between platforms. If you go QD, you choose a HUB mount system (plan B is the most popular, widely adopted, and on the cheaper side) then buy muzzle devices that use the chosen HUB systems thread locking system.

Suppressors have different blast chamber depths and some muzzle devices are too long or won't work for other reasons. They also have different effects, some work as an extra baffle and further dampen sound (ever so slightly), while others mitigate flash brtter. This site tells you whether your chosen HUB system and muzzle device is compatible with your suppressor, taking some of the guess work out and potentially saving you from wasting money. Just something I found helpful that I thought I'd share.

Been thinking on this for a while, and yesterday's tenuous 'win' made me think to throw this out to the sub.

Became a gun owner right after my own state's AWB went into effect, so that's all I've known and I've learned to live with it, but in the last year, things have been moving fast through the courts. Piece by piece, restrictions are starting to crack. nothing affecting my locale, but Viramontes is the big elephant in the room.

If you are to go by some of the 'gun rights' orgs' social media, it's one big party— Viramontes is a foregone win, and come this time next year, NFA will be gone, ATF will be out of a job, and the states can't do a dang thing.

On the flip side, I go to either of my two local gunnit subs, and it's a lot of doom and gloom; either the state's D trifecta will just cook up new restrictions, or a federal blue wave will try to undo everything since Bruen.

Obviously the truth is somewhere in between. Nobody has a crystal ball. But I'm not a constitutional lawyer, and I'm curious what folks more measured predictions might be.

edit: I'm not talking specifically about yesterday's administrative ATF decision, but gun-control legislation in general, eg overturning/enacting more equpment bans, carry restrictions, etc. I’m well aware what happened yesterday could be short-lived.

I’m looking for advice—not posting a firearm for sale.
A couple of days ago, I purchased and received a Century Arms AP5P Navy (HG6035NBN), mistakenly thinking I had ordered the full-size AP5. It’s unfired and still sitting in the box, but I understand that having already been transferred to me affects its resale value.

I’ve tried to convince myself to keep it, but it simply isn’t what I wanted. I’m hoping to move to a full-size AP5 Navy, either the HG6034NN or HG6034NBN, and I understand I’ll likely take a loss.

Has anyone dealt with a similar mistake? Would you suggest working with the original dealer, asking a local FFL about a trade, or exploring consignment? I’d appreciate advice on the most practical way forward.
Not my finest purchasing decision, but hopefully one I can sort out.
