      Handguns - Plastic or Steel?

      How about frame materials that aren't polymer or steel? Berettas have an aluminum frame.

      Military Out of state resident purchase

      Yes. When I was stationed in MD I retained Ohio residency. As long as the weapon isn't banned in MD, you're okay. Military stationed in MD have a sort of special status. Since you're able to legally purchase the weapon in a different state and can legally transport it to MD, then you can...

      I am a dumbass

      Cold steel is a fine company. I have a 4" Ti-lite that I EDC. When I lived in MD I carried the 6". Ohio frowns on that sort of thing. Their sword collection isn't too shabby. They're not fancy, but they'll cut stuff well. For fixed blades you could check out Ontario Knives. They're not...

      Ohio Joined the Proposed AWB Ranks - SB18

      Et tu, Ohio? :sad20: We do have some odd laws. We can't possess a magazine over 30 rounds. And until recently having a loaded magazine in the car with you constituted having a loaded weapon. I could have my AR field stripped and spread about the car, but the loaded mag makes it a loaded...

      GUN BUYING PITFALLS TO AVOID?

      -Do your research before you make a purchase. Let's say you want a full size 9mm polymer pistol. Many companies make this particular type of firearm. Each brand is subtly different. Different ergonomics, mag capacity, safety features, etc. Comparing the 92fs, G17, P226, USP, M&P, and XD...

      Gen McChrystal on gun control

      I'm not surprised. This is the same guy that thought banning fast food on American Bases in Afghanistan would keep the men focused on the job at hand. As one of his aides put it "This is a war zone not an amusement park." As if anyone stationed there had forgotten where they were and why they...

      When supporting local shop goes wrong...

      A while back I ordered some 7.62 Nato from an online vendor who had it for a great price. When I opened the box most of the brass was discolored with the black patches like the 5.56 you purchased. I was surprised that they were that discolored brand new from a sealed factory box. But they...

      Process required to purchase 1st Handgun?

      To make it even worse some shops have different requirements. When I bought my Beretta from Bass Pro I showed them my Military ID, Ohio Driver's License, and Orders for Andrews. That established that I was a Maryland resident. Then I filled out the paperwork and life was good. When I bought...

      Run on EVERYTHING in Va?

      Funny how people are causing the very thing they're afraid of. One store here sold 300 ARs in 2 days. Another store's ammo shelf was picked clean. I'm even starting to notice online retailers upping their price for .223/5.56. I never thought I'd see it at close to 1.00 a round so routinely...

      Why I think a new AWB will "not" happen!

      If she bought legally out of state she's allowed to have it in Md since she's there on orders. She's technically a resident of Md with those orders. She can voluntarily register it with MSP, but she's not required to. The same rules apply to handguns. If the law changes it may be different...

      Midway and Cabelas offer flintlock rifles. They run around $600.

      GROUP BUY ON VASELINE!

      No, I got out after that was repealed. I got metaphorically screwed so often I learned it's up to me to help make it easier on myself. Besides, Vaseline doesn't make a good lubricant. It can make the latex condom break. Since everyone's getting screwed by the government, you don't know where...

      GROUP BUY ON VASELINE!

      I'm in. Although I recommend KY Jelly. During my time in the military I learned it's a whole lot better.

      Rem 700 Build

      Very nice build you have going there. Have you decided on rings and a base yet? I put badger ordinance rings and base on my 700. The base is a picatinny rail that cames in flat, 20 MOA cant, and I believe 30 MOA cant. The cant is good if you get to stretch the rifle's legs a little bit. I...

      Getting pessimistic.

      That's exactly what they want to happen. They hope that if they make the road rough enough that people will give up. There are equally tenacious people on the pro carry side that will not stop until Marylanders are free to exercise their 2nd amendment rights. There's really nothing we can do...

      Caliber Question

      I was looking it over today to see if it had any markings that could determine model it is. Right on the rear sight it says caliber 7.35. Funny how things like that pop up when you're actually paying attention. Are these rifles fun to shoot? It doesn't seem like the highest quality WWII era...

      Caliber Question

      I was talking to my Uncle the other day and he brought up that he'd like to get some ammo for a rifle that he got from his dad. It's a Carcano that Grandpa got from a friend of his. I did some interweb sleuthing and I think that it's chambered in 6.5 Carcano. Is this right or were some...

      Maple syrup....the glocks worst enemy

      Glocks are noted for being extremely reliable. This guy probably got to wondering what it would actually take to stop one up. Since it's the internet he tried different food. Vanilla pudding, jello, and of course the maple syrup. Mostly it's probably to be entertaining. Which I will agree...

      Maple syrup....the glocks worst enemy

      I didn't expect it to cycle, but I was a tad surprised it didn't even fire.
