      Gun Runners Arsenal, Edgewater ?

      Just called, he said you have to come down to pay for the transfer and sign a contract before he will send his FFL. Two trips is already a pain, why does he feel the need to add one more? Was he really having that many problems?

      Spyderco Para 3 in CPM-4V for $135

      Is the para 3 blade made from powdered metal? Searching for CPM-4V and S45VN (what regular para 3 is made of), both come up as alloys used in powder metallurgy. Also, for someone that knows more about steels, what are pros/cons of CPM-4V?

      Online Sales/Scammers

      Good detective work! On the cross-posting possibility, I notice that other site is a Texas specific classified. Does the GB seller list his location as Texas? Do the listing dates match up? A no to either of these seems like more evidence of a scam to me.

      How Track Replies?

      LOL! I didn't want to seem like I was complaining, but I have found myself wishing for a feature like this. Ravitch, besides manually checking your posts, you can subscribe to threads you're interested in and get email notifications when people post in the thread.

      Billman

      So, I took the plunge and decided to order these Mobil extended non-ported tubes (generic image). Cost was $90 shipped (on ebay; add them to your watchlist/cart and wait a day - the seller was sending out special discount offers). They shipped from Sweden via FedEx Express. Machining looks...

      Going rate for Mossberg Barrel?

      Ebay looks like market price is around $200. Ebay active auctions (with bids) are $140-170, and sold items are around $200, with a few selling for around $250.

      gunfacts website

      Great resources mentioned here! Slightly off-topic, but of the three sides mentioned, it looks like only CRIME PREVENTION RESEARCH CENTER is listed as a public charity with the IRS. This only matters for potentially deducting your donation from your taxes... Not the information itself. IRS...

      Value of these Boker knives

      If they are switchblades, I don't believe they can be sold in MD. For Mil/LE, it looks like $100-130 https://www.copsplus.com/boker-top-lock-ii-plain-edge-auto-folding-knife

      How To Embed Rumble Videos?

      Quick search looks like a script could be written to create a custom BBCode tag, similar to the [ yt]link[ \yt] that would take the video link, and convert it to the desired iframe format. I've never hosted a vBulletin, and don't have a copy/license/host to mess around with, so I don't know the...

      Brass shotgun shell

      Midway has an interesting video on reloading brass shotgun shells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI47bl2h0cU He glosses over the re-sizing die, just saying it is "shop made". I don't know enough about reloading to know if they just modified an OTS part, or truely machined a one-off die.

      On Target?

      As others have said, they are generally pretty good. Others have already mentioned the 25ft minimum. Leave your phone in the car; last time I was there they wouldn't even let phones go onto the range in your pocket (photography was already prohibited). I've had one or two times where an...

      Polymer 80 Raided

      Does anyone have PACER search experience, or otherwise know whether the warrant is otherwise publicly available? I'm curious to read the full warrant, but haven't used PACER before, and it looks like just searching can get expensive fast.

      "Vintage" Hunting Rifles

      Googling Husqvarna 1640, and this is the first result, lol: https://simpsonltd.com/husqvarna-1640-1/ Not sure about value and if the scope makes it worth-while. They seem to have others for less, without an optic... I don't know that $800 is considered cheap, but they have some for $400...
