Re: Should I convert my AR pistol into a SBR?

Okay, I took a look at the ATF form 5320.1 online and I'm a bit confused. Supposedly one can file online- except that they want it in triplicate so they can send a completed copy back to you and to local law enforcement. If you file online will the ATF forward the forms? Plus they want an attached ...

Re: gun cleaning thoroughness?

I almost never do a full frame strip and clean. I've done it a few times with the 1911's and a couple times with a Glocks. If I'm replacing parts or tinkering I might do it here or there but haven't really found a need to do detail strips on any kind of regular basis. If a gun gets wet I'll do it to...

Re: Should I convert my AR pistol into a SBR?

some cans like the Gemtech Trek are made to have the option to easily pin/weld to a ~12" barrel to bring up the OAL to 16" This does sound interesting, but what about cleaning the pinned can? You can still dip it into solvent… Warranty issues could become a hassle though… Rifle cans are u...

Re: Should I convert my AR pistol into a SBR?

SBR's are great, I'd recommend you do it. You get better stock options than the braces offered and for now braces are up in the air anyway. Get the SBR, put on your favorite stock, and enjoy. The only downside I see of an SBR is the permission slip required to take it across state lines. I don' t hu...

Re: Champlin MN

What shooting?

I don't see anything on KARE 11, KSTP, or WCCO.

Re: Searching for ear muffs

I use Peltor Sport Tactical 500's. They seem to work well for noise reduction and are comfortable. I'm not really a music guy but now that I have the option, I really like listening to music or a podcast while mowing, and shooting with a soundtrack playing adds something to the experience. Battery l...

Re: Suggestions for the Ideal Gun Range

How far away would this range be located to still maintain its ideal status? My backyard, with the firing line open to the gun vault. I've found I'm getting really lazy, and even though I have a good range in my backyard, carrying the various stuff for a shooting session out of the basement is ofte...

Re: New MN Machine Gun Rules?

Thanks much, so I'll chalk this up to bad reporting because neither of those things affect who can own a machine gun. Sigh. Modern reporting is generally really bad. Kind of a bummer about binary triggers, but as I live in WI, and I don't actually own any at this time, meh. More MN ********. "T...

New MN Machine Gun Rules?

What changed with machine gun ownership in MN with the new laws? Or is this another case of bad reporting? The new gun laws also include tightened restrictions on who can own a machine gun https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-minnesota-gun-control-laws-go-into-effect-tuesday/ar-AA1eBEUi?ocid=msedgn...

Re: Suggestions for the Ideal Gun Range

What are the parameters? Indoor? Outdoor? For outdoor: One feature I really like is the ability to shoot targets at various ranges without moving my shooting position. So a U-shaped range with the sides high enough to be a safe berm, just like the backstop. Covered shooting positions to protect from...

Re: Ignorant question

Definitely fired, and that's what rifling marks look like. Now you know!

Not uncommon to find fired bullets that look in almost unfired condition except for the rifling marks.

Re: New ATF final ruling: Pistol (Brace) vs SBR

It needn't be attached to the firearm. That you have it is enough. Wait a minute… I thought owning one was fine, as long as it wasn’t installed on a firearm. It's called "constructive possession". And people can and have been prosecuted for the possession of pistols and of stocks or pisto...

Re: ETS speedloader

No. I use a Maglula uplula. Works great, had it for maybe 15 yrs now and all my shooting buddies have them too. Not only the uplula which is really as universal as they say for pistol mags, but I also swear by their other loaders dedicated to certain guns like AR-15, HK, and so on. Really great prod...

Re: QD Suppressor - Wandering Zero

I think it mostly depends on the mount. For example, my 3-lug can on my 9mm AR will change POI a lot depending on which of the lugs it gets put on. Apparently that is a known issue with 3-lug cans. The solution is to just leave it on. I'd guess I would see the same thing after taking the baffle stac...
