What are the rules about buying a gun as a gift? I know TFR goes all crazy about the ATF busting down your door over straw purchases, so what do you do?

It's more of a hypothetical question, so yes, I suppose.

thermobollocks posted:Another fantastically good idea (mandatory, even) is to always clear the firearm before handling it. That is, visually inspect the firing chamber to see that there's nothing in it, even if the person giving it to you does it right in front of you. It shows that you're careful. Several gun show vendors that I've seen put zip ties on the guns so the action can't even be opened.

I've seen different things. Some zip tie the action shut. Some run a zip tie through the barrel. Others zip-tie the trigger to the rear.

I give it 25:1 odds that it's a Glock of some sort.

The Automator posted:Glocks and M&Ps are pretty much equals, all things considered. I would personally edge toward a Glock, because I didn't like the odd hinged trigger on the M&P I handled. They're both fantastic handguns, though. I want to add to this that the M&P and Glock have very different grip shapes, so getting your hands on one of each to hold it is very important. I personally prefer the M&P. Ruger's new Glock clone, called the SR9, has gotten pretty good reviews as well.

Sten Freak posted:They're pricey and spare parts are almost nonexistent. But FA sears are "only" ~$3K, which is one reason they're expensive. There are more FNC auto sears in the US than there are FNC's. FNH also refuses to support the existing FNC's that are here, so they're quicky becoming worn out and in some cases unsafe. The ATF has also ruled that you can't use a registered FNC auto sear to convert a SCAR or Sig556 to full auto, so all those registered auto sears will just go to waste.

I was reading about a guy trying to build US-made FNC's, and apparently there's almost no communication between FNH and FN-USA. When trying to get schematics and tech specs for the FNC, FNH told him to consult FN-USA since he was in America. FN-USA told him "we've never built the FNC so we don't have anything. Consult FNH."

I'd take an M&P over a Glock any day of the week, if only for the non-lovely grip. Of course, I sold my M&P and now I'm one of the HK owners that I used to hate so much. I still despise HK rifle designs

Glocks have literally the worst grip of any full-size handgun on the market today. It's completely square.

blackknight5k posted:What's the hive mind's opinion on taurus 1911's? Since you didn't get many answers: I have a Taurus PT1911 AR, and I absolutely love it. I've put about 1000 rounds through it now without any malfunctions. It's accurate enough for me to bust targets at 50 yards. The trigger isn't amazing, but for $600 it's a great handgun. I had to spray the frame out with brake cleaner and then RemOil, but after that it's been great. Go buy one and never look back.

A lawyer is definitely a must when dealing with trusts, but LLC's are simple enough that you should be fine with legalzoom. Just make yourself the sole member/agent and boom you have total control over the LLC and any assets it owns.

Just tell your buddy to get a Steyr M9A1. It's pretty much a glock with a better grip and wacky trapezoidal sights. I have one and I  it.

There's is absolutely no way that adding a US-made bipod to any rifle would suddenly make it non-compliant with 922(r). Bipod isn't even on the list of parts used to determine 922(r) compliance. Here's the list: quote:(1) Frames, receivers, receiver castings, forgings, or castings. Also, 922(r) is a joke and it only gets used as an extra charge to throw the book at someone who is in trouble with the ATF for something else, such as illegal machine guns or SBR/SBS's. If you put a bipod on your PSL the ATF isn't going to fastrope into your front yard and arrest you. wilfoy fucked around with this message at Dec 29, 2010 around 19:15 |

Just get a pair of fast fit gloves. They're great for warm weather shooting. I live in Alabama so I can't help you w/r/t cold weather gear. I have relatively small hands and the size medium gloves are a little on the tight side, if that helps.

I ran the rifle range at a summer camp that had several rifles dating back to the 50's. I wouldn't be surprised if they had passed the million round mark. They could still shoot 1/2 inch groups at 25 yards in the right hands.

CorporatePunk posted:How much do recoil-reducing stocks actually work? I have a WASR-10 AK clone and it is not very comfortable for me to shoot. I generally shoot about 30 or 40 rounds and my shoulder gets pretty sore, and I sometimes get welts or small cuts from the buttsock. I think this is partially due to the crappy wood stock on the WASR. My question is, if I were to get another rifle in 7.62x39, like a VZ58, and replaced the stock with a "recoil-reducing" stock of some kind, should I expect it to be more comfortable to shoot, or is that stuff just hocus-pocus? Does anyone else hate shooting 7.62x39? Does it just suck for me because my existing rifle has a lovely stock with no recoil-reduction at all? You're not holding the rifle properly if an AK is making you sore at all. Pull the gun in tight so it doesn't get a running start on your shoulder. Use the meaty part of your shoulder on the edge of your pectoral muscle, rather than the boney joint/collarbone area.

I do NOT want to send the gun I'm trading through my dealer, as the owner is convinced that I must pay a transfer fee of $50 to send my gun through them. How can I legally send a pistol to someone out of state without dealing with this idiot? Take the pistol, packed and ready to ship, along with a copy of the receiving FFL, to a UPS service center. They'll make you ship it overnight, though. Or just pack it up and send it priority mail. Just don't tell the people at the post office that it's a gun.

I got a $50 gift card for Buds gun shop to compensate for my recent gun being so old (excellent customer service buds for something that is 100% not their fault) but I dont wanna buy a gun, dont wanna buy a gun in the foreseeable future, have plenty of ammo, they dont carry any mags I need, or any holsters, so ...

I only ever recommend lasers for snub-nosed revolvers and subcompact/pocket pistols, since they're the kind of guns that you carry and their sights aren't as easy to use under pressure.
