      Suggestions for a low powered, large objective rifle scope?

      I'm putting together my last custom rifle, intended to be a lightweight, close/mid range hunting rifle. A lot of my hunting these days is for Sika Deer and they often come out right at the end of legal shooting hours. Because of this, I would like a decent quality, relatively compact low-power...

      Central MD C-III dealer recommended to transfer suppressor?

      I'm buying a suppressor through a friend that represents a manufacturer and I guess I need a dealer to help me with the paperwork, receive and transfer it for me. Who should I see in central MD? I'm near BWI but would drive a little. Thanks in advance!! Ed

      What IS the definition of "assault weapon", officially?

      Because the thread on the Supreme Court remanding ("remit" [sic]) cases back to the lower court is so sidetracked as to be impossible for people actually interested in the court's decisions to follow, it seems to deserve its own thread. Please post your crazy-ass, long winded opinions over...

      Suppressor suggestions for .358 Win & .357 Max?

      I am putting together a 20" .358 Win and would like to suppress it (somewhat). Probably not shooting sub-sonics, mainly factory ammo and just trying to reduce the blast for hunting, trying to preserve what's left of my ears. I have an 8" .357 Max Contender barrel I use for deer and I'd like to...

      Mossberg Model 590 Shockwave 14-1/2" .410 legality/hoops?

      A friend asked me about the legality of getting a Shockwave .410 for his wife and I don't know the answer, nor do I know how this transfers. https://www.mossberg.com/590-shockwave-410-bore.html I guess there are two levels: Maryland law and federal law. a) Overall length is 26-3/8" - does this...

      Ohio carry law changes, crime rate drops, correlation claimed

      The headline: Guess What Happened to Violent Crime Rates After Ohio Adopted Permitless Carry? https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2023/10/24/guess-what-happened-to-violent-crime-rates-after-ohio-adopted-permitless-carry-n76474 More at the link.

      Game feeder recommendations?

      A buddy has some shore property and I'd like to buy him a game feeder or two. Need one with a plastic barrel (salt marsh) and solar recharge (long walk to swap heavy batteries). Because the salt marsh eventually eats everything, it would be nice if it was less than $200 or so, but maybe I'm...

      Remington 870 Trigger/Safety Failure & Repair

      I have been shooting several 870s for 40+ years. When I was RO at the Ft Meade Trap & Skeet Range, I used to shoot a few hundred rounds a week through my bird gun, an older 870 12 gauge 3" Wingmaster Magnum. It's been sea duck hunting, puddle duck hunting, goose hunting, deer hunting and has...

      Picatinny Gas Block Heights for AR-15?

      I'm rounding up a bunch of spare parts I have laying around and building out a few uppers. I need three gas blocks and want the Picatinny rail style so I can mount a BUIS later. I'm a little confused by the height descriptions, and actually wish I hadn't read through all the Q&As at...

      Horizontal Mag Carrier?

      Does anyone have any experience with using horizontal magazine carriers, specifically: https://magholder.com/ I am using a vertical style at about 8 o'clock that interferes with getting my phone in and out of my hip pocket. Not a fan of pocket carry. Thank you!

      OWB Retention Level II or Better For Open Carry?

      Those of you that are open carrying, what holster are you using? Are you happy with it? I am looking at compact holsters with Retention Level II or greater to more safely open carry when the occasion arises and would appreciate suggestions. I have a few leather thumb-breaks for various pistols...

      Carry in (AA) County Parks?

      I know that "state parks" are specifically off limits for carry. I "think" that national parks within MD are off limits as well, but it doesn't seem as clear. I saw some discussion that was more debate than definitive. How about county parks, specifically Anne Arundel and Howard? I looked at...

      Florida Fingerprint Card-GONE

      They're gone. I have three (3) two (2) fingerprint cards NO cards for the FL non-resident CCW application to give away. Didn't know how many I'd need, so I ordered four and ended up only needing one. The entire application can be done online, but fingerprints must be *ink on one of their cards...

      Post-Bruen CCW applications in other may-issue states?

      I see in our forum, we have a thread attempting to keep count of how many HGP applications have been "submitted" since last Thursday, June 23. Last I looked, it was over 8,000. Does anyone have stats on the other may-issue states affected by this? Did any of the others experience a flood of...

      Selling Handguns - Payment/Transfer Protocol?

      I'm having some pretty severe medical issues and I'm going to sell a few handguns (mostly CZs) I doubt I'll ever use. I'll put them up for sale here at the classifieds as soon as I can take some pics and establish fair values. I would probably use Tylers to make the transfer. The reason I...

      Local Source for AR-15 Pistol LRPK?

      I'm helping someone build an AR pistol and we need a pistol-style Lower Receiver Parts Kit (w/buffer/spring/tube). This person thrives on instant gratification, so buying one someplace near central Maryland/BWI area would be ideal. Any ideas? Thank you!! Ed

      20 gauge hull Karma

      EDIT: GONE to Scrounger. I have a bag of once-fired 20 gauge hulls, mostly 2-3/4", but possibly a couple 3" mixed in, that I'd like to give to someone that needs them. Probably about a bushel. The Catch: You have to pick them up in Millersville (by the 21108 PO) or at Arundel Mills (BP...
