    Ammo background checks to begin mid-September?

    A few years ago I was looking for a non threaded AR barrel. Buds had one so I placed the order for it and shortly after, I got an email that they cancelled the order. I called and talked to someone and they said they are not shipping any gun parts to NY that could be used on an AR. Since then...

    Supreme Court Puts Trump Back on Colorado Ballot – UNANIMOUS DECISION

    I wouldn't doubt it. I am sure once our AG Jabba the Hut lifts her head out of the feeding trough, she will find some way to waste more of our tax dollars and sue someone to try to keep Trump off the ballot in NY.

    Oregon set to recriminalize drugs and CA set to make drug test mandatory for public aid

    I am required to take a random drug tests to keep my CDL and Hazmat that I pay out of my pocket to have. Its only right that people who get government handouts for free including welfare get drug tested to keep their free handouts.

    Letitia James Files Lawsuit Against Worlds Largest Beef Producer for ‘Misleading Public’ About its Impact on Climate

    Why does she feel the need to sue everyone in the world for frivolous bullshit. Keep wasting our NY tax dollars on these lawsuits and NY will soon be more broke than Venezuela.

    New York ranks top in nation for taxes, second for spending

    Thats good old NY, the best at being the worst at everything. You would think that NY politicians would get tired of being ranked last for everything good but I guess that is what a semi communist government prides themselves on, being the worst.

    The same idiots who put "match grade" on mass produced parts and "tactical" on every AR part.

    AG Letitia James Asking Biden Regime to Ban “Military-Grade” Ammunition for Citizens

    .308 was at one point a very popular round for military snipers and still is used to some extent today. Let them include .308 in their ban. Maybe then the Fudds will wake the hell up when they can't buy a box of .308 for their bolt action deer rifle.

    New York and California consider wealth tax

    They talk about a balanced budget requirement but when our AG Henrietta Hippo keeps filing frivolous lawsuits that are paid for with our tax dollars, then its hard to keep a balanced budget.

    Quarantine Procedures” will give the state of New York the ability to come in your home and take you away

    If I recall correctly, North Korea does the same thing. I guess that is where NY is heading. NY was voted the least free state so why not take advantage of that title.

    Will there be a lot of FFL Closings early 2024?

    The FFL that I use here in lower Westchester is not doing ammo or gun transfers any more. He has a retail store but does not sell guns or ammo in his store. I had my Tikka T3 transferred through him just before this BS law went into effect. A few weeks after the law passed, I went with my...

    NY’s Door-to-Door Crusade Against Homemade Guns Backfires, Unintentional Masterclass in Ghost-Gunsmithing

    The police stated they know what the homeowners have. If its a part that matches one of the legally owned guns, then why are they wasting their time harassing people?

    Donald Trump Promises the ‘Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in American History’

    So that the BS story they want us to believe. When these illegals become citezens, has anybody thought about the familys that will be able to come over here? you can at least double the numbers because of that.

    Donald Trump Promises the ‘Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in American History’

    Why are all these migrants men? I rarely see any women in any of these pictures. Did Central and South America purge their prisons and send the prisoners here to make more room in ther jails?

    Ammo background checks to begin mid-September?

    We may be losing an FFL in lower Westchester because of this BS law. He has a retail store, doesn't sell guns or ammo but only does transfers so he is not worried about guns or ammo bought online taking away from his own inventory. A friend of mine ordered ammo and tried to get it by the 12th...

    Thats probably part of the plan. Keep delaying and denying. NICS can say yes but the NYSP can tell us no. Is there a way to appeal a denial by the NYSP?

    Predator hunting advice?

    You can use an AR or any semi auto for predator hunting. Yor are still limited to the 5 rounds even for coyote hunting. Make sure you use something in the mag so you can't load more that 5 rounds. I use a -5 floor plate limiter in my AR when hunting predators and also in an AR 10 when hunting...

    Ammo background checks to begin mid-September?

    There is NY States loophole. If the system is not up and running by the 13th, then that possibly means no gun purchases. They can keep the start date of the system in limbo and no new guns for us.

    Ammo background checks to begin mid-September?

    I say all us gun owners should go to our local ammo dealers on the first day this system is up and buy a box of ammo for a bolt gun or shotgun. It may crash the system for a long time.

    Didn't Barrett do this a few years ago? Any state that banned any of his .50 rifles he also refused to sell to law enforcement in that state?

    Ammo background checks to begin mid-September?

    As long as you look over 21, they will only ask what caliber and how much. I am 54 and never got asked for ID when buying ammo in PA. And some of the shops I frequent know that I am a NY citizen.

    New Tikka T3X

    I orginally wanted the Tact A1 but nobody had it in stock and had no idea when they would have them in stock. So I opted to go the way I did because I am impatient and wanted it right now. I loaded the Pmag with a few rounds and it cycled through with no problems. I still want to wait until I...

    New Tikka T3X

    I got the Tikka because I have heard they are insanely accurate right out of the box. I just picked up one Magpul AICS 10 round mag to see if it works properly. I have read the Oryx chassis can be a little finicky with magazines depending what brand action you have. The general concensus seems...

    New Tikka T3X

    I picked up a Tikka T3X in .223 a few weeks ago for a chassis build. I planned on using an XLR chassis but they have a 5 to 6 month wait time. It seems all the chassis makers have a long wait time right now. So I figured I would use an Oryx for now until XLR had much shorter wait times. I don't...

    Looks like it will be a few months before any chassis I want is in stock anywhere. I looked at all the manufacturer websites and they all have an expected in stock date months away.

    Tikka T3 Scope Mount Options

    The chassis just bumped to two weeks ship time. Here is the rifle now with the scope and rings mounted. Its not torqued yet as I wont know the position of the scope until it is mounted with the chassis.

    Tikka T3 Scope Mount Options

    I just got notification that the chassis wont be delivered for another 3 to 4 weeks. For some reason all these chassis companies have a back log. I will be using a Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 scope with the talley medium rings. I liked the Nikon Black FX and the Prostaff 5 scopes but when Nikon...

    Tikka T3 Scope Mount Options

    I got the less expensive T3X Lite because all I need is the receiver, bolt and trigger for the chassis build. I prefer to use a heavier barrel. I usually sell the barrel and stock on ebay. Mine didn't come with rings or a rail. Just threaded holes to mount what ever you choose. I wanted to go...

    Tikka T3 Scope Mount Options

    I went with the Talley rings in medium height mounted directly to the receiver. It puts the scope about 1/2" above the barrel. There is plenty of scope adjustment with just the rings. Seeing how small the mounting screws are, I think there would have possibly been some slight movement, although...

    Tikka T3 Scope Mount Options

    Thanks. I welcome all $.02, especially from experience. I do like to have my scope as close to the barrel as possible. I thought Talley was the only one who made rings for the Tikka but I will give Leupold a look too as I have the Leupold dovetail rings on one of my Remington 700’s and they are...

    Tikka T3 Scope Mount Options

    I am getting a Tikka T3X in .223 for a chassis build next week. It seems like the Tikka has a propriotary scope ring mount. I also see there is a pic rail available in place of the rings. The rail obvoulsly has a little more adjustability as far as ring placement which I would prefer. With the...

    Texas Shares Income Information With ATF

    Instead of looking at a working persons income to see what they can afford, why can't the government of any state, especially welfare states like NY, look into how the people on welfare living in public housing projects can afford the Escalades, Mercedes and BMW's with no jobs.

    My AR-10 Is A Pig!

    I had to weigh mine. Its a DPMS LR 308 with the stock 16” barrel and a Doublestar ARFX buttstock. The scope is a Vortex Viper 6-24x50 with the sunshade and Butler Creek caps on a Vortex cantilever mount.

    An interesting read on why people think we have AR-15’s

    An AR15 was the first gun I ever owned. My grandfather reccommended it to me because of the ease of operation, ease of repairing and very little recoil. 35 years later, the AR15 and AR10 are still my favorite rifles to own.

    Federal government proposes gas stove regulations that would essentially ban all gas stoves

    The government seems to like giving out free money for the most ridicolous things so does this gas stove ban include a bill to give every American household money to upgrade thier electrical circuit so an electric stove can be used? Especially in older houses.
