I've filled out the State Police form for Firearms Collector status but it has to be notarized by a Maryland Notary Public prior to being sent in. Odd as it sounds, I've never had to notarize anything here in MD. Any of my work/banking notarizations have been in VA or DC. Where in Maryland...
Does anyone have any experience with a Hi-Point 9mm Carbine? I'm thinking about picking one up but haven't had the chance to handle the gun. At +/-$250 they seem to be an affordable plinker with a lifetime warranty. The Beretta CX4 and Kel-Tec Sub 2000 are other 9mm cabines on the market but...
An excerpt from Kim du Toit's The Other Side blog:
I think the laws we have today are the middle ground between the two extreme positions of A) no gun laws at all, and B) total gun ban. The problem is that those who advocate gun control don’t use A) as a starting point, they use where we are...
Has anyone seen any C&R rifles at the Dunham's Sports in LaVale? The Dunham's in the midwest usually have C&R rifles in stock at a reasonable price. I've seen Yugo SKS's in the $159 range along with Mosin-Nagants and other cosmoline coated specials. It might be worth the drive out towards...
The Pre-Christmas I.O. flyer has M-N 91/30s for $49.95, Hex for $10 more. M-1895 Nagant revolvers at $58.95. The sale runs through 17 DEC. I don't know if my credit card is ready for this.
I.O. Inc. (www.ioinc.us) is having a sale on Mosins but today only. Laminated M44 - $64.95, standard M38 - $59.95 and standard M91/30 - $54.95. The 91/30 costs about the same as a case of the ammo that feeds it.
Time to increase the herd.
The CMMG used bargain bin AR-15s have been mentioned on this site before but has anyone ever bought one? At $570 the price looks pretty good if you are willing to put up with a little exterior wear. Not so good if they are shot-out and trashed. They have them in 16" M4 along with HBAR 16" and...
I've been thinking about picking up a black powder repro CSA revolver from Cabelas. I was wondering if MD treated them like other handguns will the requirement of going through an FFL dealer or am I able to order them like a pair of boots?
I've been drawn into a Potomac Mills visit tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knew of a surplus, gun, or pawn shop near the Marine base at Quantico, VA? Besides needing a guys kind of place to shop around, I'm looking for AR mags, new if possible, used if in nice shape.
Based on what I've read here and on other sites, the C&R FFL appears to be a great way to collect some older guns. While I've read a quite a bit on the cannot and can do's under Federal law, I haven't found much on what Maryland law has to say regarding the C&R other than the one handgun a...
I'm thinking about obtaining a C&R license but have concerns about doing so in Montgomery County. Have any of the current holders had problems/issues with shipments, local regulations, dealers, or any law enforcement once they got their license? The C&R sounds worth having but not if it opens...
Has anyone seen any Yugos or any make of SKS in the local shops? Not many gun stores near here and I have yet to see any in stock. The last time I asked if a certain shop had any available the clerk gave me a pretty abrupt NO! as a reply. I have fun shooting them and if you get a good one...
Two gun shows this weekend within a reasonable drive from MoCo but only time for one. I've been to a Frederick/Silverado show but never to a Winchester/Old Dominion event. Any opinons on which might be the better event? I'm mostly looking at milsurp rifles and reasonable prices on ammo.
To save some money on ammo for my SKS I was looking at ordering from one of the internet sites like Cheaper than Dirt or Sportsman's Guide. Then I looked at the fine print and saw that nobody delivers to good old MoCo. I'm sure it's just another local law but what options are available? Is it...
