      01 FFL question: Does roster apply to used handguns?

      Buddy of mine wants to sell me a used post-1985 NAA mini revolver (not the Earl). Both of us are MD residents. Does the roster apply to used handguns sold privately through the FFL transfer process? I have the HQL.

      increase WC post count and other options

      This goes hand-in-hand with Jim's thread, https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=220945. At a minimum, please consider increasing the post count to access the Water Cooler. With a small flood of newer members so "eager" to eliminate natural rights, it might be time to raise the post...

      Franken AR

      Years ago, a hotly-debated topic was the issue of an AR being Franken if it wasn't a factory-complete rifle or nearly so. God forbid if the lower and upper (receivers or complete) were from different sources. Now that AR platforms have wildly taken off in popularity and aftermarket support, is...

      Mosin rifle stock in Westminster

      A heads up if you're near Westminster and need a Mosin rifle stock in nice shape, including handguard. I saw one for sale today for $60 at Westminster Antique Mall. It's in a glass case in booth 47, IIRC. If it's not booth 47, it's in a middle aisle way towards the back. Seems like a good deal...

      Leupold Custom Shop, better pricing?

      I've been wanting a Leupold VX2 2-7x scope for quite awhile, but with a German #4 reticle. I went to the Custom Shop website last night and noticed good prices. In my case, $300 base price (same as street price), plus customization charges. Adding a German #4 is $50. Fine by me. If I'm not...

      Fellow eyeglass wearers, I strongly recommend Eyeballs USA in Damascus. The owner/operator is a gun owner/enthusiast and member of NRA and IWLA. The NRA logo is proudly displayed near the register. Got me a new pair of Silhouettes with Zeiss lenses there today. Owner was super helpful. Above and...

      Ruger warranty service. Tale of a Single Six.

      In late 2013, during the pre-HQL bum rush, I got me a spiffy new Single Six, cowboy-style blued with fixed sights. Then came 2014, a year from hell due to long-term family illness and passing so zero range time. Two weeks ago I pulled the Single Six from the safe for cleaning and a once over...

      GP100 trigger

      Brought home a new Ruger GP100 today. The standard stainless 4.2" job. Surprising how nice the trigger is. Slick as snot. No grit. No slop. It works great even for Mrs. Boom Boom's tiny hands. Feels better than my other S&W and Ruger revolvers, no matter the age. Maybe the only better trigger...

      Online gun purchase nightmare? Fess up!

      Doesn't matter if the gun is new or old. What's your online gun purchase nightmare? I'll start. Purchased two antique Colt SAA revolvers online from a "reputable" dealer a couple of years ago for eight Gs. Described (with photos) as original, honest wear, 40-50% blue remaining, nice bores...

      Bubba on parade

      Here's what Bubba does in his spare time when he gets hold of an antique Colt revolver. Despite the seller calling the finish "renickeled", it looks a whole lot like spray paint. Don't miss out! Bid now while you have a chance!! Shockingly, there are no bids yet, starting at only $250...

      Manabout Racks pistol racks

      FYI and recommendation for Manabout Racks pistol racks. I've been looking for nice pistol racks for my safe for months. Based on price, I foolishly purchased pistol racks (barrel rod-type) from a different company last month and find them to be very unsatisfactory. The rod coating wears off...
