      Best SHTF firearms solution for the elderly

      What weapons to recommend There are a lot of factors to consider. Will they be carrying when they leave home? Are they living in a populated area or out in the sticks? After taking those things into consideration you might want to take them to a range to try out different options and better...

      Ruger SP101

      For me mine is as accurate out to 15 yards as my GP-100 or my Security Six. I have the Hogue grips but I use speed strips for reloading all of my SA/DA revolvers.

      Red (maybe burgundy) Subaru @ Chipotle Parking Lot in North Frederick

      TempurPedic controls the pricing on their mattresses. The only help I can give on a TP purchase would be free delivery, set up and take away of your old bed. I can also give discounts on accessories.

      Red (maybe burgundy) Subaru @ Chipotle Parking Lot in North Frederick

      I will not lose your business to a competitor over price. I'll get the first cousin price.

      Red (maybe burgundy) Subaru @ Chipotle Parking Lot in North Frederick

      To all who are interested, I will give MDS members discounts. The amount of the discount would depend on what product is being purchased.

      Accuracy of factory bullets sizes

      I have been reloading for less than a year, so I have a lot to learn. I have experienced some anomalies with my reloads that I cannot explain. Reloading 45ACP, most of my rounds go bang but I have had some that seated too far into the case. I have also had reloads of 45ACP and other calibers...

      How did you started collecting C&R guns and what was the first?

      My first C&R eligible gun I purchased before I received my FFL03. It was a Mosin Nagant 91/30 Hex (Octagon) receiver that I bought from SOG for 69.99 if memory serves me correctly. Since then I have added a 91/30 Sniper w/PU Scope, an M44 Carbine, a 1895 Nagant Officer's revolver, an M1...

      Shot The CZ-82 Yesterday

      IMHO even though prices have gone up on this pistol, it is still the best value for a C&R purchase. About the size of a compact Glock, it fits my hand perfectly, the sights are good even with my old eyes and I can put my rounds right where I want them at SD distances. The Russian ammo on the...

      Favorite Gun Auction Site for C&R

      I have used gunauctions.com extensively but I buy many of my C&R guns from SOG. You can only buy from them if you have an FFL (FFL03 C&R is acceptable).

      CMP M1 Special

      Congrats. I just received my service grade a few weeks ago. I have not had the chance to get it to the range yet but I also bought the Greek ball ammo. IMHO CMP is the way to go for a Garand. With the exception of having to de-cosmoline the rifle, it was in remarkably good condition.

      HRA M1 Grand

      I received my service grade from CMP a couple of weeks ago. It is an HRA. The barrel, receiver and bolt are HRA. The trigger group is SA. There are no markings on the furniture. I will be spending some quality time with at the range tomorrow shooting the Greek surplus ammo I purchased with it.

      C & R came in 27 April So I went Shopping

      Nice start to your C&R collection. What to get next? I would highly recommend picking up a CZ-82 while they are still cheap. I believe they can still be had for around the $200 mark and they are well worth the money.

      Thoughts on the Ruger SR1911CMD

      I picked my SR1911CDR from my FFL a couple of weeks ago. There were no issues other than a 63 day wait.

      Removing Lube from Reloads

      On my last trip to the range I experienced my first FTF with my Glock 32. I have sent an estimated 6000 rounds down the range with factory ammo with this gun and have never had this happen until I started reloading for this caliber. I quickly came to the conclusion that although all of my...

      MSP Wait Times - 60+ Days

      I just called my FFL. The NICS paperwork was sent on 2/22. They say that they are now experiencing 8-10 weeks.
