      Williamsburg Merchant Squate

      budman -- if you download the map from the link you provided, you'll see that CW's western boundary is shown as Henry Street. You are correct that the CW web site refers the viewer to Merchant's Square, but it makes no claim that Merchant's Square is part of CW. It may well be, but so far the...

      Silverado gun shows calling it quits

      I stopped going to those shows about 10 years ago. They were terrible even before the laws changed in MD in October 2013. The quality and value of the stuff on the tables declined to the point that the shows were more like flea markets. In the early 2000s, they were decent shows and worth the...

      Williamsburg Merchant Squate

      Are you certain about that? The CW map shows CW as extending west only so far as Henry St. Everything west of Henry St. does not appear to be part of CW. I just don't see anything that confirms that Merchant Square is part of CW. For that matter, I see nothing on the W&M website that...

      Ar308 indexing pin question

      There has to be a little bit of play between the pin and the slot, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the barrel seated. It's just a result of manufacturing tolerances. I wouldn't worry about it. There's a bit of play in the gas tube fit as well, which should be sufficient to compensate for...

      AR10 - Jammed while in battery

      While your problem can be brought on by excessive headspace or an improperly loaded round as others have suggested, it is far more probable that you experienced excessive port pressure brought on by the kind of powder that was used in the load in question. Powders have different pressure...

      M1 Garand Restoration

      If you aren't a member of the CMP, then go to the next Dulles Gun Show and peruse the M1s for sale. There are usually at least a dozen or so for sale, in varying conditions, but most in nice shape - certainly CMP rack grade, but most better. Buy one of those and don't "restore" it like the...

      Optics Planet seeming less legit today

      OP is a good outfit, although I have experienced the same thing twice over the last couple of years. I ordered a Leupold scope that was shown on the website as "in stock," and then a day or so after ordering it, I received an email informing me that the item was backordered and that there was...

      Trijicon ACOG $150 Rebate

      The usual 5% discount offered by Optics Planet doesn't apply to items on "clearance," according to the message I received when I tested the current discount code (WORK7). Anyway, if anyone is interested in getting an ACOG, pay a visit to the website for Richies PNG (richiespng.com), a brick...

      Is the colt m4 expanse legal in md?

      Here's my .02 -- forget the Expanse and buy a Colt AR6721. It's a real Colt, not a cheap clone like the Expanse. The only "Colt" manufactured part on an Expanse is the lower. Everything else is outsourced. You can buy an AR6721 for under $800 on Gunbroker. Closest thing to an M4 that we can...

      AR-15 Hbar Question

      euro Last year, I built an 18" HBAR and spent a lot of time looking around, like you, for a quality 18" heavy barrel that would not only meet MD requirements, but that would produce exceptional accuracy. Since my research did not yield many options, I decided to contact Compass Lake...

      New Colt AR 6721's for $759

      I haven't seen anything official either, however, if you go to Colt's website, you will see that the AR6721 is no longer listed as an available model.

      New Colt AR 6721's for $759

      As you may know, Colt has discontinued production of the AR 6721 and the last of them have been distributed to vendors for sale. I recently purchased two from a vendor on GunBroker who is located in Florida. He has 28 left in inventory. These are new-in-the-box rifles. The price is $759...

      FTE issues

      AR SBR's are more prone to these sorts of issues than carbine or rifle length ARs. It's probably a dirty chamber as others have pointed out, but since you are also looking at the extractor as a possible trouble source, check the configuration of the extractor spring. Gold colored springs are...

      Fox Firearms in Columbia

      Guys I live in Howard County and need a dealer to handle a transfer. Thinking of using Fox Firearms in Columbia. Anyone have any experience with this shop? Are they good to deal with? Thanks for any help.

      Post 2013 M16A1 Clone Build

      Thanks guys. However, I don't think the fact that the barrel steps down by itself makes it something other than a heavy barrel. A Colt HBAR barrel, which meets the legal requirements, steps down several times under the handguards and while it starts off at nearly an inch, it ends up at .750...

      Post 2013 M16A1 Clone Build

      Hi guys I'm toying with the idea of building an M16A1 clone. I would have the barrel maker make the 20" barrel "heavy" under the old triangle handguards, then step it down to .625" for under the front sight base, and then step it down again slightly after the front sight base to the threads...

      Mice in the pantry. Any exterminators here?

      Rob Here's a link to the thermal detector I used. Generally, B&D tools are junk, but this one worked pretty well. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-TLD100-Thermal-Detector/dp/B0044R87BE

      Mice in the pantry. Any exterminators here?

      Rob I had a similar issue. My immediate problem was not killing what was inside the house, since spring traps do that efficiently, but rather finding and plugging the gaps that allowed the mice to enter. The problem I encountered is that the exterminators I called in for quotes did not...

      How Long Did Your HQL Approval Take?

      I submitted my online application on January 5, 2017. The Certification was issued 18 days later on January 23, 2017 and my hard copy HQL arrived in the mail today, January 26. From start to finish (HQL in hand), it took 21 days. Not bad for Government work, I'd say.
