      Thinking about building a PCC, AR in .45 ACP

      Seems the uppers and lowers are not as common as I would have thought. Any one else built one, and have suggestions? Go ahead, inundate me with ideas and suggestions! I was thinking a non-reciprocating side-cocker, but want to heard from the experts./

      Got a Deal on a Dillon RL550B Set Up...

      It has shell plates and dies for several pistol calibers and .223/5.56, as well as two conversion set ups. It was all still in package, unopened. I am going to begin with rifle cartridges, my choices being .204 Ruger, 5.56, .308, and .300 Blackout. I need advice on what reloading handbooks are...

      The BATFE is not any better than the Fibbies.

      Seems they are operating as as covert enforcement agency, instead of a regulatory bureau. Early AM raids, and no-knock warrants on people with no previous history of felonious activity. A man is dead because he legally bought and sold from his collection...

      Might this case effect the MD ban on carrying in parks?

      NFA Trusts...

      As sometimes said here, IANAL... So, I am looking into getting a suppressor, and this idea of a trust for NFA is new to me. I see some sites like Silencer Co get you referred to a site for trusts, and Silencer Central offers it to customers internally, and it is included in their costs. Then...

      Question for the Experts on Open v Concealed Carry

      Since the MGA decided in their infinite wisdom to make the W&C permits Concealed Only with no open carry in October 2023, I am at a quandary. Just before they did that, I purchased a magnetic bracket for carrying a pistol on the side of the trucks center console near my knee. Is that...

      300 BLK Upper build.

      Got as decent deal on (2) Bravo Company stripped uppers, and am putting together the first build as a .300 BLK. Got an ARD barrel off Gun Broker, pistol length gas, 16" heavy barrel .750 dia. Toyed with the idea of a piston action, but have decided on an adjustable gas block impingement...

      Beretta APX Carry and Optics

      Did a search every darn where, and either Google-Fu sux, or there ios nothing written in the interwebs at all about it. Beretta has been no help as their call in tech support is not in service, and they wont answer emails, either... But enough whining and belly-aching. I scored a good deal on...

      10/22 .22 WMR

      Purchased the rifle here on the Board a while ago, but only have one magazine, and wanted to get another, but I find nothing labeled for the 1022 .22 WMR. Do the actions of the other Rugers, like the 77, work? Or is there a secret source I cannot find without a pagan sacrifice to find the...

      Non-reciprocating Side Charging AR builds.

      I was intrigued by a Brownells email, which had a special for a side charging non-reciprocating pistol caliber AR upper. From what I can gleen, we can still legally build AR pistols with stripped lowers in MD, can't we? Anyway, I went looking for ones in .45 ACP (the one at Brownells is only...

      .308 Ammo

      Just purchased a NOS Remington 700 SPS 20" Barrel. While I am outfitting it for longer range shooting, I am curious about ammo in the Remington 700. I just learned that the .308 ammo is actually a bit more pressure than the 7.62 NATO ammo, so a little flatter shooting, I am not a reloader, so...

      Got my Wear & Carry permit yesterday...

      I applied 6/27. So about 5 weeks from applying to receipt. Interestingly enough, the letter they sent with the permit was, of course, a form letter. What was interesting about it was that it was for the period of G&S being the criteria, as it admonished that, should the G&S reasons for which I...

      National Reciprocity

      With the decision on NYSRPA v Bruen, have any of the brilliant legal minds here addressed the topic of national reciprocity? Since we have the right to carry, shouldn't full faith and credit of each state hold in every other state with carry permits, or a lack there of for Constitutional...

      Any word on any ones app yet?

      I have no idea how long it takes. Can I expect a call from a trooper?

      Got my Application for W&C in the Monday after NYSRPA was released....

      8:27 AM (just a few more thna a half hour ago) I got an email that my application was accepted. So, they have troopers working Saturdays to process app; and it is taking them a week and a half to get to the apps. Since I routinely pass background checks, I wonder how long the process goes from...

      Reciprocity Rules on Permits.

      Knowing some States wont recognize other states Carry Permits, will the NYSRPA v Bruen ruling start a wedge issue that wil;l lead to nation requirement for reciprocity, much the way auto-licenses are held across the nation, each state having their own requirements for age and training? Enquiring...

      I just love the way we became a Shall Issue Nation

      As a kid, I saw a nation where people could almost carry at will (maybe they did, I wouldn't know, being a snot-nosed brat through the 1960's). But it seems the mantle of Gun Control has lost it's alure to most of America, as they wake up to the fact that it wont make thewm more safe, and in...

      Rebarreling a Rem 700.

      I have a Remington 700 VTR in .204 Ruger. It shoots nice, but I really don't like the triangular barrel with the muzzle-break in it. (Shooting in lower light the flash upward blinds you through the scope). Was wondering about re-barreling it to a Palma light, maybe even going to 6.5...

      Making your own Shorties...

      I inherited a TON of field loads when my FIL passed. For decades apparently, he would buy a box each time when he went hunting, and accumulated a LOT of extra shells. Most are either #6 or #7 1/2. Was thinking of cutting them down and using a roll crimper to make then into shorties...

      Hardware for an old shotgun...

      Real old. Like over 100, maybe? Let me explain. When my FIL passed away, in cleaning his house out, I found a couple antique firearms. One was a American Gun Company double barrel 12 ga exposed hammer shotgun, approx date is sometime in the 1890's I think. It use to belong to my...
