      Question on C&R expiration

      I'm not renewing my C&R license, it expires the end of the year. I don't actually have to DO anything, do I? I know we don't have to turn in our records like 01's do, but do we have to notify the ATF or anything else?

      AR front sight block pinning

      Can anyone locally properly taper-pin a sight block to a AR barrel? Any idea how much this generally costs?

      C&R Bound book sign out question

      I admit it. I'm a lazy ass. I don't feel like leafing through that thick-ass book looking for the answer to this... If I send a rifle out for repairs, do I log it out as a "disposition" and log it back in under a new entry when it returns?

      Recommendation for a local 1911 'smith?

      I want to get a ambi safety installed on a SR1911, can anyone recommend anyone in central MD? Last I heard, Chad isn't 'smithing anymore...:D

      Broken P64 Firing Pin

      I've gone and done it somehow. I took the P64 to the range today. I loaded up the first mag, and I got nothing but click, no bang on several attempts. I removed the mag and cycled out the unfired round, and there was no mark on the primer. I whipped out my multitool and used a screwdriver to...

      Aimpoint PRO

      Has anyone used the Aimpoint PRO? I'm curious as to why it's so much cheaper than Aimpoint's other offerings... Is it less robust, less clear, made in China,...? I'm thinking about switching from Eotech to Aimpoint, but new Comp M4's and the like are appallingly expensive and don't come with a...

      Another LONG rifle of LostSoul's...

      I got the 96/11 yesterday, now a Finn M91 showed up today. It's a 1943 Tikka, very good bore and great stock. As stated in my 96/11 thread, I'm a crappy photographer, and the subject is long. I'll get better pics once I get these two cleaned up.

      Picked up a 96/11, book question

      I picked up a Swiss 96/11 on Gunbroker which showed up today. I'll get pics up once I clean it up a bit, but I've got a bound book question. This rifle isn't import marked. What do I enter for "Manufacturer/Importer" ? Eidgenoessische Waffenfabrik, Bern ?

      Questions on reloading for the M1 Garand

      I've accumulated a couple hundred HXP cases now, I'll likely start loading for the M1 in the near future. My first question is about die selection. Will any ol' 30/06 die set work, or should I get a "small base" set? It's my understanding that small base dies are designed for semi-autos to...

      Torque drivers

      What would you recommend for a torque driver for various firearm screws? I have a few torque wrenches at work, but I've never needed a driver. I haven't even bothered to ask the Snap On man what they get for one, as I know damned well I won't pay that much for one. I'm just looking for something...

      Trying to ID a rifle from memory

      I've wanted to find a rifle that represents the first firearm I've ever shot, but it's been difficult. Mainly because I don't know the manufacturer, and I'm going strictly off memory. It was a .22 LR bolt action rifle that my great uncle passed down to my brother when I was 7-8 years old. Oddly...

      Scope reticle leveling

      Is there any good home-brewed ways of leveling the reticle on a scope when mounting it? I remember reading something a while back about using a plumb bob and string, but I don't remember the details and can't remember where I read it. I have a small plastic level around here somewhere, but I'm...

      Strange lever on AK pic

      What is the little lever forward of the magazine on the AK in this pic? I feel like a dumbass, but I've never seen one before. http://tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/media2/pkagray2big.jpg

      Shipping a C&R handgun

      What are the laws regarding shipping a C&R handgun? I've got one or two I'm thinking about putting up for sale. If I can't sell them locally, I'll have to ship out of state. From the FAQ on Gunbroker, it seems that a 03 FFL still has to ship overnight/next day whereas a 01 FFL can ship cheaper...

      Nambu Pics

      I picked up a Nambu Type 14 in a trade recently, and I figured I'd post up a few pics. We all like pics. It's all matching and in great mechanical shape, the only real bummer is the exterior pitting. 14.8 dated (August of 1939), early small trigger guard and no magazine retention spring...

      RRA 2 stage trigger question

      I got and installed a Rock River 2 stage trigger. I used the pins that came with in the kit which are slightly oversized (.1555? something like that). It works well, the trigger feels good, but I noticed both the hammer and trigger pin rotate in the receiver rather than the hammer/trigger...

      M4 type upper questions...

      I'm finally getting around to building the group-buy Spikes lower I've had laying around. I already have a build with a Del-Ton 16" midlength HBAR upper, but it is a bit heavy and off-balance for a SHTF carbine. So, what I plan to do is put a scope on this upper, and use it for a long(er) range...

      I'm just going to link to the thread I started on Gunboards, but I thought I'd see if anyone here could help me ID this ol thing. http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?220201-Mauser-bayonet-identification

      Does anyone carry Oxpho-Blue locally?

      I wanted to try out Brownells Oxpho-Blue, but ordering it from Brownells hits you with a ridiculous haz-mat fee. Is there anyone carrying it locally?

      It's Heeerrre!

      I just picked up my CMP M1 from FedEx, and I'm quite happy with what they sent me. It's a service grade Springfield, 5.8M serial. Good condition GI wood, SA barrel and op rod, mostly HRA for the rest. I haven't taken it apart completely yet, but all of the metal appears to be in fantastic shape...
