      Brother in Law admitted. Can I take over his guns so he doesn't lose them?

      Whole thing is a bit dodgy, but the storage unit is the biggest hazard. Some storage companies might outright ban firearms being stored there. If they find out, they might cancel the lease and give you a time window to clean out the unit. If they don't find out and you lapse in payments they...

      What Happened to Iron Sights?

      Same here. The first draw for me was the threaded barrel. Having irons is a good bonus to have if you don't intend to put a scope. In my case, i did put a scope but if i need to remove the scope I'll still have the irons. Ideally, you don't want a traditional rifle scope because the rear iron...

      What if 77R is faxed in, and Not Disapproved but buyer vanishes?

      I guess you'll have to give MSP a call. i'd imagine there's something that 'cancels' the transaction for their records. wonder what the dealers do when a customer no shows after a long while. been a while since i bought something. i think there's something on the 77r that the buyer has to sign...

      What if 77R is faxed in, and Not Disapproved but buyer vanishes?

      i'd check with the FFL you were doing the transfer with and probably MSP. i'd imagine there's either a form or letter that can be sent in to 'cancel' the transfer. probably important to specify that the firearm hasn't changed hands. at least that's my rough guess.

      Has anyone tried this?

      far as I've heard, the DOLOS is legal here. it's akin to the 10/22 take down, just as an aftermarket piece. the AR won't work until you attach the barrel back into the receiver. I spoke with one of the guys over at 2A when it first came out. There was more of a conern over heat at the time...

      Aquiring guns via storage unit auction

      decided to do a lil search and already getting conflicting info from what i had thought. i'd check with the folks running the auction and/or police for their stance to be sure. might be able to just contact MSP and arrange for them to take and clear them (if not traced to a crime or stolen) and...

      Aquiring guns via storage unit auction

      From what's come up on some of those storage auction reality shows, modern firearms have to be turned over to ATF. I think pre 1880 are safe. there might be something on ATF's website. as far as legality, i think everyone involved in the auction, buyer included, are safe if one shows up and...

      Gun record keeping questions that have been nagging at me for a while.

      I'll take a first stab at this. But they'll be better answers out there. 1. technically it would be possible for them to pull up a record of registered/regulated arms. Getting that information might require a FIOA request or eventually a lawsuit. Gov't is fairly bad about giving up information...

      S&W MP9 9MM - Chamber question

      I had a FTE once or twice when I first took mine out to the range, but hasn't been an issue since then. it looks like the bullet is fully seated in the barrel chamber. am i seeing that right? checked mine and it does a little 'off' circle.

      LH Hbar 308 bolt gun

      for the most part shooting lefty on standard rifles isn't too bad and with bolt action, the problem of catching brass in the shirt or arm is pretty low. for most of us it's our 'me' toy. the pain in the but part is the cycling. Either you just shoot righty, which is handy to be able to in a...

      LH Hbar 308 bolt gun

      Ruger's .308 Scout rifle also comes in a LH variant. Custom stocks can help if a particular rifle has one of those sillly right hand only contouring. But the big thing is the action is still on the opposite site. Being left handed in a right hand bolt world, either i go to much larger motions...

      How many regulated firearms can you purchase within 30 days?

      normally there's a limit of 1 regulated, mainly handgun, per 30 days. I have seen occasions where you could buy 2 at once,or really close, but were basically blocked from further regulated purchases for 60 days. In order to get two at once, you have to include a 'justification.' but i haven't...

      predictions on future gun legislation

      Some newer articles are looking more at his association with white supremacy. The pic of him in the woods has two particular flags on the jacket. One is the old South African flag (apartheid era) and the other is the Rhodesian (now Zimbabwe) flags. Some groups are trying to avoid being remotely...

      HQL... Is this normal?

      that letter is normal. It's basically the result of the background check for the HQL. I guess the law that covers the HQL's background check as 'personally initiated' and you are provided a letter with the results. If there's a process to have the state run a check on you that you request may...
