      Firearm storage in Maryland

      This is extremely timely for me, as I am putting my house (back) on the market and considering how best to reduce the volume of my belongings overall. I have two easy-to-move safes (one key-operated, the other biometric) and my friend has offered to let me store them (and their contents) on his...

      HB1302-The Stalkers' Enabling Bill-Horror Stories Thread

      This right here is something that legit keeps me up at night.

      Recommended M1 Carbine appraiser in central MD?

      Thanks. I plan to do so. As mentioned, I'm less concerned about its worth than I am about any historical value. If I can ensure that it's been arsenal-reworked in the postwar era, then I'm less concerned about keeping it intact (those gunsmiths "broke the seal") and I'm willing to lightly mod it...

      what sorcery is this? When I click on the picture icon, I'm prompted to enter a URL. However, it may be that attachments work okay. Let me know if other elements might be significant.

      I'd be happy to, as soon as I figure out where I can post them online so I can link to them. Thanks for the suggestion.

      Recommended M1 Carbine appraiser in central MD?

      Thanks for the suggestions. I have the M1 Carbine Owner's Guide in front of me, but I don't trust myself to accurately evaluate its provenance. The CMP forum is not a bad idea at all.

      Recommended M1 Carbine appraiser in central MD?

      I have a couple of resources to check out, but sometimes determining what's "matching" - or not - is a challenge. It's in an ordinary wood stock, so that's not a concern. As a frame of reference, I know I have something historically valuable in my "Bavarian Return" NPM, and I wouldn't mod...

      Recommended M1 Carbine appraiser in central MD?

      I bought a sweet M1 Carbine a while back and I would like to find out whether it has significant historical value or instead is just a shooter. No interest in selling; I just want to know what I have. Willing to compensate an expert's time. Honestly, I am hoping for the latter. I don't want...

      MantisX Firearms Training System

      Chuck et al., would you consider offering dry-fire training for folks using this tool? I'd totally sign up for a few sessions to perfect using the tool, getting an initial evaluation and instruction for improvement, and follow-up evaluations following, say, a week's worth of practice. I'd do...
