We have surprisingly similar collections! I've been thinking about what I should hang onto and what I should sell.. Some I don't shoot that often but that's more because I'm lazy and haven't gone shooting at all that much lately. My most likely one on the sale block is my 9mm AR, which has been a disappointment in how well it has functioned. I doubt I'd ever sell my 10/22 though, it was super cheap so couldn't get much for it anyway and it's a ton of fun, especially with novice shooters. Everyone loves it on their first time out.

In my opinion it shows gun-owner maturity to begin thinking that way.

I've been doing the same thing. Sold an 870 and need to move a 700 before I get a SCAR.

I recently came into possession of an assortment of Glock 17 magazines. I did some research, and it appears that 3 of them are non drop free Preban versions. I don't need them, and I would like to pass these on to someone in a shithead state where they need to have certain stuff to be legal because I can just go buy more of whatever I need. Is this legal to do?? Say ship them to california or new york so a person there could enjoy their freedom legally?

Other than the Sig I currently just own a Mosin, Marlin 60, Heritage Rough Rider, AR, and a Garand... selling any one of those would leave a pretty sizable gap, unless I somehow managed to get ahold of my great-grandfather's Garand. And I have yet to fill the 1911, SBR, 12-gauge, or 7.62-sized holes in my collection. gently caress. Too many guns to own! Potentially related question: My girlfriend wants to take me deer hunting. I currently do not own anything resembling a hunting rifle. I do, however, own a Mosin with a 2x handgun scope mounted on one of those neat S&K mounts. Is this a terrible idea?

I am planning on rounding out the Glocks i need to have a full Black Pistol Playset (fullsize .45, longslide 9mm, compact 9mm, subcompact 9mm) but after that any pistols i buy will be purely because they please me, not because I want a pistol that does what it does.

I've been looking up picking up a new lever action rifle and keep seeing different barrel types. Both micro-grooved and normal rifling in barrels. Is one better than the other? The rifle I'm looking at is a marlin 336 in 30.30 if that matters.

The rifle I'm looking at is a marlin 336 in 30.30 if that matters. I had a 1953 336 carbine in .30-30, non-microgroove. It was the last year they made them (edit: without microgroove), until recently. Give this a read It boils down to what you're shooting through it. Are you a hunter shooting jacketed ammo? Microgroove's got some advantages, reportedly. Cowboy action shooting cast bullets? Opinion varies from "don't ever do it" to "only at low speeds" to "what are you talking about, cast lead is just fine". FWIW, I loved the idea of my 336, but eventually realized it wasn't for me. I'm a plinker and a reloader, and it's good for that, but I don't hunt, or do cowboy stuff. The barrel's relatively thin, so not much good for paper punching (it tended to start stringing shots after about 4 shots). The biggest problem, though, was the forearm retention screw. If you get an older one that uses a single screw to hold the forearm on, you will bend it, or maybe break it. Then accuracy kind of goes to hell. The 1895 (an I think the newer 336s) uses a tenon and 2 screws to alleviate the bending of the screw. Not Nipsy Russell fucked around with this message at Apr 16, 2011 around 17:42 |

Not Nipsy Russell posted:Words.. From what I gathered in that article, if I want decent accuracy with a micro-grooved barrel I'm going to want to reload my own ammunition and size accordingly. Also an older 336 would not be as wise a purchase a newer one because of the forearm retention screw and the barrel is thin enough that target shooting won't be fun. I don't think I want one now

I don't think I want one now OK, now I feel bad. Don't get me wrong, it was fun. Here, have this: Marlin 336 Blowing Fireballs It's also possible that, shooting rifle-length loads out of my carbine hastened the forearm screw breakage. But 2 screws later, (one after shooting nothing but commercial loads), I don't think it was the sole cause.

Is there any "ease of conversion" ATF issues with pistol versions of rifles? Reason I ask: If I were to buy, say, an Uzi kit and the parts for it, could I build it with a short barrel but leave the mounting point for the stock, so long as I don't attach it?

IuniusBrutus posted:Is there any "ease of conversion" ATF issues with pistol versions of rifles? If you're going to build an Uzi pistol (or a stock-less pistol version of any rifle/carbine) there's little reason not to modify the buttstock attachment point(s) to prevent a stock from being installed.

There is one - I don't plan on being in a SBR unfriendly state forever, and it seems like an Uzi SBR would be a blast - it'd be nice if I could just slap a stock on it the second the stamp came in. Other option: Could I put a folder on it, and just pin it in a semi non-destructive way?

IuniusBrutus posted:Other option: Could I put a folder on it, and just pin it in a semi non-destructive way? I have seen ATF letters for other guns that indicate that a handgun with a folding stock that's pinned/welded shut so it can't be used as a stock is ok. However, when folded, a folding stock on an Uzi makes you twist your wrist at an odd angle to grip the pistol grip, so I wouldn't advise doing it. In fact, I wouldn't advise using a folding stock on an Uzi at all; it has a terrible cheek weld and is pretty wobbly. The fixed stock is much nicer to shoot.

Anyone use custom fit inner ear electronic hearing protection? I've been using either plugs and/or electronic earmuff type hearing protection and now that I'm getting back into group shooting (competitions etc) and have a little extra money to spend I was thinking of getting something a bit more confortable for wearing for a few hours at a time. I've been looking at various shooting websites and thought I would check and see if anyone here uses them or has suggestions on em. Thanks.

IuniusBrutus posted:Other option: Could I put a folder on it, and just pin it in a semi non-destructive way? An example of the welded folding stock being OK is the recently imported PPS-43 pistols. The stock is present, just in the closed position, and welded. I'd trust craptacular on it not being worth it on an uzi though.

I've been trying to sell a Rem 700 LTR with a Leupold VX3 4.5-14 and there has been no takers. Buddy wants to trade a M&P 9 full sized and a M&P 15X for the 700. I figured it would be easier to sell those 2. What does TFR think?
