      All-In-One HQL Process?

      Apparently my search skills stink. I seem to remember a thread somewhere on here about one of the IPs offering an all-in-one deal on the HQL, including taking care of the fingerprint requirements. Somebody will walk you through all the forms you need and get the application completed and off...

      Slugs through an older, fixed modified choke?

      I picked up an older, High-Standard, 12 ga pump. Made in 1971, with a fixed, modified choke, 28" smoothbore barrel. Gun seems to be pretty sound and in good shape, probably not a high round count as best as I can tell. I am thinking I might want to run some slugs through it. Nothing...

      School Me - AK Trigger Choices?

      So I picked up an Arsenal SAM7SF as my last pre-Oct. 1 purchase. I finally got some extended range time with it yesterday afternoon. I am definitely no AK expert, but overall, I came away pretty impressed. The action is very smooth, I had no trouble getting a comfortable cheek weld with the...

      Ambi-1911 Choices/Options

      I do not own a 1911. I shoot handguns lefty and so the lack of ambi-controls has always been a bit of an issue for me. But I recently saw that at least some of the high-end Springfield 1911s do come with ambi safeties at least. That made me wonder what else is out there for lefties...

      Chiappa Double Badger 22/410

      Saw this poking around the web the other night. Anybody have one? I sort of liked the idea of the Savage 42 but I decided it is really just too expensive for what it is. Knock about $100 off and get this instead - hmmmm...maybe. I like that it folds in half like a kind of poor man's...

      One AK is good, but two are better...

      I finally picked up my last two, pre-October 1 purchases from Engage last weekend. One on the top with the wood furniture is the Engage basic build AK-74. The guys did a real nice job with it. All the part numbers match, everything is very cleanly done with no corners cut. This looks about...

      AK Red Dot Placement - Forward or Back?

      I'm thinking about mounting a red dot on my AK. I had just planned to get a mount that attaches to the side of the receiver, the same way you would set up a scope. But I have seen some rigs where guys are getting rail space set up forward of that, basically by changing out the cover over...

      Looking For Small Engine Repair Near Oakland MD - Deep Creek

      I need some help to get the snowblower running reliably and having similar issues with a couple of 2 stroke 50cc scooters. Probably all of them need rebuilt carbs from letting old gas sit in them too long. Looking someone willing to do a housecall or pickup/drop off. Shoot me a PM if...

      1,000 yard shots, right on the money - every time - just pay $25k

      Saw this the other day... http://news.cnet.com/8301-11386_3-57604113-76/now-youre-a-sharpshooter-the-smart-rifle-arrives/ It is certainly interesting and impressive. If this didn't cost as much as a car - would you want a rifle equipped with it? As to either target shooting or...

      The HQL - Your Plans Are?

      So as October 1 nears, I am curious where people are coming out on the HQL. Are you going to go get it immediately? Are you going to wait until you have a purchase you want to make? Are you just swearing off handguns because you will be damned if you'll be fingerprinted like a...

      5.45 Surplus in Spam Cans - Remaining Life ?

      I am thinking about putting up some 5.45 in long term storage in the spam cans. The surplus stuff that was made back in the 70s. Just a hedge in case there's an import ban. Given that the stuff is already over 40 years old in some cases - what is the realistic remaining life span for this...

      Mid-range AK Optics & Mount - Your Thoughts?

      Been doing some shopping for an optic while waiting to pick up my Arsenal AK. Am leaning towards this setup: leatherwood-hi-lux-1-4x24mm-cmr-ak762 sitting on: RS AK-300 series mount (probably the 303) (side mount). Pros: I like the RS mount because you can adjust the windage...

      Waffen Werks AK-74 - last purchase?

      I have been looking at this and thinking it might be my last purchase before Oct. 1. I have never owned any AK at all. But with the price of 5.45 vs the price of 5.56 I am thinking this is a way to shoot a lot more centerfire for a lot less $$. I am fine with the ammo being corrosive and...

      Ruger Single Ten or....?

      I've been thinking about getting another .22 pistol. I already have a Ruger SR-22 which is great fun, but I'm thinking about going in a little different direction. More of a target pistol with a longer barrel and a nice crisp trigger. Leaning towards a revolver, as I already have several...

      WTB: XDm 9mm 5.25 & CZ-85

      Closing time is coming...any IPs have either of the above? Note I am a lefty, so I am definitely not looking for the CZ-75, I want the ambi. controls of the 85. Prefer the 85 combat with the adjustable sights, but would look seriously at any 85. Hoping to land both before October 1 - so it...

      What will be most impacted by the 10 round magazine limit?

      I'm thinking about the last few, pre-October 1 purchases. Seems to me one of the things I need to be thinking about are those handguns that BOTH: (1) Normally come with +10 magazines AND (2) Extra magazines are almost impossible to find at regular retailers or gun shows, you...

      Rifle Slings For Carbines - Educate Me

      For some strange reason, I find myself with a few new carbines on the rack, with potentially more slots about to be filled before October 1. Perhaps I am not the only one out there with a smaller bank balance and less rack space? Anyway, none of these new purchases have slings on them yet...

      Preston County Range Locations?

      Anybody have any recommendations for places to shoot in Preston County, WV, near Terra Alta? Looking for both established ranges and also informal places like a quarry or whatever where nobody cares. I think most people in Preston County use a range called "my back yard" but I can't do that...

      Neos U22 Carbine Conversion Kit

      Has anybody ever bought one of these? What do you think of it? I was looking at maybe getting a CX4 Storm at some point, but I remembered that they also make a carbine conversion kit for the Neos. That might be a much lower cost option if it is just going to be a range toy. I don't own a...

      Interesting Video Re Stopping Power, Rifles vs. Handguns, etc.

      I happened to stumble across this yesterday while looking for something else. It is pretty interesting and unusual stuff. Basically it is a Doctor who regularly treats gunshot victims giving a lecture to EMTs about guns and gun injuries. Lots of interesting statistics. Among the highlights -...
