Gray Stormy posted:It seems that if I were to purchase a paratrooper Calico M-100 I would have to register it as a pistol since its folded length is less than 30 inches. Is this something that would happen at my FFL or would I have to make the seller do something? If it's a private sale in person, the seller fills out the registration card. If you have it shipped to your FFL, the FFL fills out the card as the seller and you as the buyer.

Like he said. Basically, treat it exactly like you would any other *actual* pistol.

After I wrote this, I decided to format it as a poem. My wife has relatives in Dearborn. We tend to go south on a Friday, and after we pass the bridge the northbound lanes are packed with cars fleeing north for the weekend. Our road is almost empty. We head home on a Sunday, and the southbound lanes are packed with cars reluctantly returning home. Our road is almost empty. What rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Engadine to buy fudge?

Wilkes-Barre PA to Traverse City is really far! Also if you oversleep and leave at noon instead of 5am, it seems even more far!

shovelbum posted:I might be going to school in Traverse City in a year (looking at making a MAJOR career change). Is Michigan as cool as you guys make it sound? Is this considered "southern Michigan"? Does that mean it only gets to 50 below instead of 60? I grew up and lived in traverse city for 23 years before moving to the kzoo\bc area. Its a hella great place. Good offbeat places to go shooting (look for hoosier valley). Disc golf is really awesome there too. NMC is a good college if youre going into culinary, my best friends brother went there, cooked with Mario Bitali (who also owns a place up in the leelanau peninsula) and is head chef now at some place in Elk Rapids. If you have any real questions about things you can always shoot me a PM, I haven't lived there in 2 or 3 years but not much has changed.

I apologize for my long absence in TFR, bought a house in March, have been working on it every night/weekend so my forums time has been drastically reduced. I've made a post in the DIY forum if you want to check that out. As little as I have been posting, I had been shooting even less. Went last weekend for the first time in roughly a year and it got me right back into the swing of things. I was pleasantly surprised that my shot placement with my pistols is almost just as good as when I stopped shooting regularly. Feels good to be back! Bedbouncer : the pit that you shoot at is off of M95, correct? I live in Dickinson county myself and I know Gray Stormy is/was an Esky man. Maybe we should get a mini goon yoop shoot before the snow falls in October. Oh, and I have PM now if anyone wants to get a hold of me. Edit: Called the Florence WI sheriff's department to ask them when WI would have it's poo poo together about reciprocity between MI and WI. He said it won't be until November when they decide that. Stinks for me because I live 5 minutes off of the border and am regularly travelling over the border. Really stinks when going to the Gun Barn in Iron River and my buddies and I have to get out and put our pistols in the trunk. Edit2: Apparently Gray Stormy's heart decided to try to murder him, my bad! PyrE fucked around with this message at Aug 20, 2011 around 15:09 |

Forgive me if I'm not clear, but parts of Michigan gun law are  If I have a rifle that is considered by Michigan to be a pistol due to a folding stock, can I replace the folding stock with a fixed one which would bring it into the category of a Michigan rifle? To be clear, it is federally a rifle with the folding stock.

If I understand correctly (and maybe I don't), once something is registered as a pistol, there's no way to "de-register" it. That I know of.

In retrospect, I can't believe I spelled Michagoons with an "a".  Tell me about small-game hunting in the lower peninsula. I'm going camping with a few friends in a few weeks, one of whom is quite the cook and will make whatever we bring back to him. I'm having difficulty sorting out the DNR website - where exactly can I hunt rabbit, squirrel, etc.?

Maybe we should get a mini goon yoop shoot before the snow falls in October. Yes, that's the one. I see from your DIY post where you live, I live in the tiny village west of you, the one across from the roadside waterfall. My first house was in Iron Mountain, corner of Kimberly and Wells, built in 1897, so I went through many of the same tasks: removing pine trees, rewiring, rebuilding, floor tile. Best story, I'll keep it short: formal dining room had a 1x2' hole in the hardwood maple floor patched with cheap pine boards. Not sure why, for a coal shute or a whale oil tank or whatever the hell our ancestors drilled through dining room floors for. No way to find replacement maple, or make it look good if I could. Ended up buying a slightly larger brushed stainless steel plaque to put over it, and had it professionally engraved with: The Sanderson House 1897 <phrase in latin> "Sanderson" was the name of the mining dude who originally built the house in 1897. And the phrase in latin, which I can't recall now, translated to "It was already like this when I found it". I thought that phrase summed up my renovation experiences. I promised my wife the next house would be turn-key, so I haven't done much renovating in years, but it was rewarding when I did. My favorite was wiring. Any Yooper goon can email me at my account name AT charter.net, if you want to set up a shoot or discuss renovating houses. I don't check that particular email often, so replies may take time.

Michigoon thread! Detroit Goon checking in again. I lurk a lot and due to a ton of work/life bullshit I haven't been shooting in over a year. It's shameful. If any SEMI Goons want to get together sometime and shoot Japanese moon ammo from my radioactive Arisaka drop me a line. I'll also keep the thread bookmarked this time.

TC is cool so far, just spent 2 weeks on the training ship in the harbor, but got a few chances to roam town. Loving this school so far, even if it involves a lot of gangway watches and lifeboat rowing.

Cool; from the handul of people I've talked to who've been through the school there, it's a really good experience. I kind of wish I lived closer, and that they let you audit classes.  Have you been to the little gun shop up on 72 just east of 31 yet? They're a stocking SIG dealer and they have a decent selection despite their small floor plan.

Thanks for the heads up on that one, hadn't seen it yet. Me and one of the other guys here are looking for used 30-30s after noticing all the deer and woods in the area.

If you feel like driving, there are tons of gun shops around. Mackinac Outfitters in Mackinac City (which is a Bass Pro Shop), Jay's Sporting Goods in Gaylord (which has a huge selection of new and used guns plus reloading equipment, fishing/camping/hiking gear. you name it). If you drive over to Alpena, there's Bob's Gun Shop which is upper-class fudd, if you can imagine. Lots of new and used guns of all kinds, and the guy used to be a safari outfitter so he's got some serious high-end stuff in there as well. Ray's Gun Shop in the back woods of Hillman is pretty cool as well - if you can find it/enjoy two-tracking. If you're looking for good deals on used .30-30s though, drive up to Dafter in the U.P. (about 35 miles north of the bridge on Mackinac Trail) and hit up Tony's Gun Shop. The place has been around forever, and they've got guns that were probably traded in in the 1950s. Every time I go there I see at least a couple lever actions for under $200. Edit: Take pride in your rowboat work. One day you may have to row a federal law enforcement officer out to your ship because the riverside dock is so dilapidated that the boat can't put a ladder down.

theclaw posted:Gonna have to start calling yourself oarbum. Pellet pistols are kind of a murky area in Michigan law. Most people interpret the law as "Anybody can buy a BB pistol but a pellet pistol is a dangerous weapon so you have to get a pistol permit for it." As a result, not a lot of places in Michigan sell actual pellet pistols anymore. You'd have to be 21 to buy one, and either have a CCW or the pistol purchase permit. And you'll notice that places like Sportsman's Guide won't ship a pellet pistol to Michigan but they'll ship a BB pistol.

I don't check that particular email often, so replies may take time. Naw, I'm just going to drop this bit of commiseration here: I have a vintage 1912 model that needs wires. I think they were redone in the 50's, but oh god they are so bad now. So very bad. Got a new line in from the street a couple years back, which gave us a taste of the modern miracle of "grounded" electricity and "breakers" instead of ye olde fuse, but drat is it time to redo the whole place. Also there's this weird bricked/boarded up probably-room in the corner of the basement with only a small, useless window through the stone - you can't see whats inside. I'm hoping there's like a lost mine entrance or a previous owner's massive cache of old guns and 1940's pornography but I'm pretty sure it'll just turn out to be ex-coal storage or something else lame when we finally get up the gumption to crowbar it open for curiosity's sake. and yall look just so cute with your ponietars!!

Sounds like the perfect recipe for a highway poo poo-stop. There used to be a shop in the Soo, Pale Horse Defense. loving shame that it closed. The owner was a really cool guy and they had a pretty good selection of scary black stuff. No wood in sight though so youd have to go else-ware or have a transfer done for anything with wood on it.
