      NY, NY Knife carry laws

      I either have a Swiss army knife, or a medium douk douk (or both) in my pocket when I go to nyc. I've read that if stopped, NYPD have been known to grasp the blade on a closed knife, flick the handle open with a snap of the wrist, and call it a gravity knife. Good luck flicking open a...

      PTR-91 first shots

      Oh wow, that's really good to know. So I get the upper modded, and I can stick whatever lower on I want to depending on my mood? That's awesome, because I wanted to do a wood stock build as well. I love being able to kill me multiple birds with one stone. (in my mind, the wood stocks go...

      PTR-91 first shots

      Eventually I want to get mine converted to a paddle mag release and have a top rail welded on. Does anybody out there have an opinion on what's the best lower receiver to get converted to a paddle release? Should I get a steel lower, or is the polymer receiver that it came with good to go...

      Cost to build an upper?

      After looking into it myself for my first (and so far only build), the cost of parts and tools to build the upper start to negate any savings. The only advantage is you can spread the cost out over time. That being said, there are many members on this board who are very generous with their...

      PTR-91 first shots

      After a bit over six months waiting for the MSP to not disqualify me, and several weeks of not being able to get to the range, I finally got up to Hap Baker today to try out my new PTR-91. After months of reading about it, I was ready for 12 gauge slug recoil, but honestly it was pretty soft...

      If you could only have one revolver, which one?

      I'd go with a .357 pre-lock S&W or a Ruger.

      Walnut Ridge at Summit Point 3 gun, Saturday, April 12, 2014

      What is the problem with XM193 and Q3131? In my experience, they are 55 grain bullets, and don't attract a magnet.

      Camping Recommendation

      Greenridge is great. If you drive into the camping area from the park HQ, be prepared for some crazy off road driving. It was scary in my 2WD sedan. I'm sure a 4WD is a better choice. There's a back way into the camp sites that's a much easier drive, but I didn't figure that out until the...

      MSP almost caught up on backlog?

      What pressure can we put on the clearly incompetent/illiterate legislator(s) who changed their vote? Nevermind the criminal apologists, but how can you be so incapable at doing the most basic part of your job (reading) that you miscast your vote? Maybe next time there's an opportunity to...

      subguns for self Defense?

      I'd hate to lose an NFA firearm after the self defense shooting. Same with a tricked out AR15 or *insert kitted out gun that's worth lots of money here*, or even just an old unscary looking family heirloom. Assume that the police will have to take your firearm as evidence. Assume that you may...

      has anyone defended themselves with a knife?

      to the OP: 1. Yes. 2. No, not at this time. When I get a copy of the police report, I'll probably post a redacted version for the benefit of members here.

      50 caliber Maryland legal rifle

      I wouldn't mess with .50BMG AR uppers in MD. I've read that they beat up the lowers pretty badly, and given that (non HBAR) lowers in MD are irreplaceable, I wouldn't chance it. Granted, that assumes you can afford to shoot enough ammo through it to beat up the lower. But if you can...

      Any of you dabble in bushcraft?

      A Blind Horse Knives Woodsman Pro, Gransfors Bruks small forest axe, and a Bahco Laplander 9" folding saw. I really like the sharp, squared off spine of the Woodsman pro for sparking a fire steel. I tend to keep a cheap mora knife with my gear. Sometimes, I'll skip the knife/axe/saw combo and...

      Safety of Lubricants

      How's that OSHA test coming? :innocent0 Back on topic... After reading about the toxicity of various firearm lubes, I switched to Ballistol. Not only is Ballistol mostly inert, it's one of the best rust preventatives I've ever seen. I use it on my carbon steel knives and tools and they stay...
