Connecticut was like "hold my beer" when it comes to lack of information or getting a hold of a person to get proper information. The initial application process for the out of state CCW was a tad bit annoying. The only way to get the packet was by emailing them a request for the packet via...

I own a pre Ruger Era Marlin which shoots great and works fine that I purchased about 10 years ago (maybe longer). A buddy of mine recently purchased a Ruger Era 1894 Marlin, put less than 200 rounds through it and several screws walked themselves out while shooting it. I've been in the market...

Replaced by Boyd's stock on my 1895G with the RangerPoint stock. Definitely a huge upgrade in terms of comfort and modularity. I also purchased the comb and 6 round quiver for the stock as well. Now my 1895G has the complete tacticool look and feel. All jokes aside, the RP stock is beefy and...

I applied for my CCW back in July 2023 and it's still in the investigation phase. A friend of mine applied on November 2023 and he already was approved. He never had any permits prior to this. One would think that it would be easier to vet me for my CCW since I currently hold a premise and...

I have a beat-up Glock 19 Gen 3 slide that I'm tempted to give a try in doing some cosmetic milling on. I was thinking about using my drill press with an end-mill bit and cutting a vertical window cut along the Y-axis of the slide. I'm sure using a punch to make divot so the initial drill bit...

I found this little thing on Etsy. It's a great little do-dad that smooths out the operation of the Load Master press. It looks like some kind of caster wheel that the shell plate wheel bar rolls on. Definitely a must have, it was $23.

Today I deprimed and resized hull/brass on 500 shells. Also received my Redneck Gold in the mail, nice clean 5lb lead ingots. Just waiting on some other tools to arrive in the mail. Lee Pro Melter pot Lee 690 round ball mold Hull roll crimp clamp vice Hull trimmer Roll crimper

I'm going another direction with my M1A, and I'm not a huge fan of scout scopes (learning after the fact). I bought it back in March 2020 from Optics Planet (yeah yeah, I know). Lightly used, not even 100 rounds on it, it's in very good condition. Glass is clean, no scratches. Comes with...

I absolutely hate the recoil on my M1A Socom. After doing some research, I found that Witt Machining makes a good clamp-on brakes. I've read and watched several reviews and it got positive reviews. Now, obviously threads are a no-no in NYS but what's the legality of a clamp-on if I don't mag...

Would anyone know which NJ Trooper barracks is nearest to Brooklyn? Their website isn't very helpful and I do not want to pay twice if I put the incorrect ORI on the permit.

Swenson slide and barrel with Glock slide internals and sights. Less than 300 rounds through it. Replaced it with a different slide. Purchased it from MidwayUSA a few years ago. Price: $150

I bought a used Glock 19 Gen 3 from the shop I work at for dirt cheap for a project gun. So far, I tossed on my P40 Warhawk slide with a spare Holosun RDS I had laying around, did some stippling and other odds and ends. I know my stipple work isn't the greatest, but I like it. Parts and...

I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed here before. I was just thinking today that LEO in NYS should be subject to the same restrictions as civilians when it comes to gun ownerships. I wonder if it would change things for us in terms of increased support to our cause and more push back...

I just purchase a Lee Loadall 12ga press. What wads are best for slugs? I saw a YT video where the guy says Federal 12S3 wads were the best but I could only find: Claybuster Shotshell Wads 12 Gauge CB2118-12 (Replaces 12S3) 1-1/8 oz Will this suffice? For now I'll be buying new shells but...

Got some new hardware for my stuff in PA, so put some of the old optics, IR laser and light on my SCR. Vortex Sparc Vortex VMX-3T Holosun LS231G Streamlight TRL-1 HL Cheapie Monstrum 1.5 QD riders Magpul handstop All that with this mighty 5 round mag I'm allowed to have in this dumpster fire...

I definitely want to try and do some Yote gaming this year. Since I have never been, can you use an AR or are you limited to hunting rifles? I'm not quite sure if my SCR falls into an AR category since it's technically not an AR since I can own it in NYC despite their stupid administrative...

I'm looking to sell my Kestrel Ruger 5700 Ballistics with Link, recently had a baby so I have no time for PRS sessions. It will come with the kestrel sleeve plus additional accessories: Kestrel Rotating Vanbe Mount & Carry Case Kestrel Portable Tripod w/ Clamp Only used it once for a PRS...

delete for now, thanks.

Selling my Vortex Razor HD 4000 Laser Rangefinder, opened it and never used it except goofing around on my land testing it out. Baby came recently and have no time to do PRS and hunt any longer. For those of you who are familiar with Heatware seller ratings, I can be found under ohms139. Also...

Purchased for PRS use but recently had a baby and no time for any PRS sessions. Never used except unpacking and checking out functions/features. For those of you who are familiar with Heatware seller ratings, I can be found under ohms139. Also have my trader feedback here. Shipped $390 or...

I know for NYC specifically you can only have two on your carry permit and only carry one at any given time. The NYC carry permit will allow you to carry in the entire state, but is it the same restriction as the city on how many you can carry? When I am in PA, VA, WV or NC I carry my VP9 and...

There is a possible scammer on the forums. Earlier this morning, I received a DM from a new user Jaycity (only three posts). He asked if I was still in need of 458 SOCOM brass. Keep in mind, this was a request from thread at least from 3-5 months ago. He gave me an email address and said that...

Anyone read up on this non sense? This is some truly tyrannical shit. https://reason.com/2023/03/31/the-restrict-act-would-restrict-a-lot-more-than-tiktok/ I don't really trust Tulsi Gabbard a whole lot, but she gave a good break down of what the Restrict Act is. It not only bans TikTok (which...

I started my first day of my second job doing gunsmithing for a shop out in Long Island today. Was a pretty moderate day; cleaned up 14 assorted Glock 17, 17C, 19, and 19C's. The big issues with the Glocks were the aftermarket barrels had burrs from excessive use. Did some filing and and...

I received a belated birthday gift from a good buddy of mine today. It was quite an expensive gift.

It was a choice between: Beretta 92X Tisas 1911 Ruger LCR 357 Magnum The Canik was too good of a price and the trigger was absolutely a delight. I was really torn between this and the Ruger, but at the end of the day, I'm only in PA every other weekend and a backup gun can wait. It came with...

I'm in the market on upgrading the upper for my SCR. Any recommendations on what would work with the Geissele MK8 handguard? I've read online that it only works with forged uppers.

Someone gave me two boxes of Hornady 135gr FTX. I believe it's used for 30-30 lever cartridges, but can I load it using 135gr jacketed bullet data? In worst case, I believe I can also use it for 300 Blackout.

Looking for a good home for a few items. Trying to make space and thin out my ever growing stash of parts. Magpro Archangel M1A stock FDE (no bipod) -$100 I decided to keep my M1A SOCOM factory as a carbine setup over a DMR setup, it's practically brand new and has less than 200 rounds on the...

I got sick of staring my Jungle Carbine stock that I made from a No3 stock. Long story short, the original stock had a split down it and I didn't want to damage it further. I ordered a reproduction stock from Prestigious Wood Stocks. The fitment was decent but it definitely needed some...

I went to go purchase 10 round mags for my P320, and I get this message at check out.

Anyone use one of these yet? I ordered one, some P365 mags and an M18 slide. I'm gonna give it a go and see how it is. Worst case I can use it for my compact frame.

I was reloading some .223 rem today and decided to use the MidwayUSA factory seconds I purchased; 69gr HPBT. After pressing a few round I noticed that some of the projectiles were different. The one on the left is .224 and the one on the right is .242 I am assuming correctly that this is a...

Since my recent venture into LRP shooting I quickly realized that I need something more cost effective to shoot frequently. I was thinking about buying another RPR in a smaller caliber but it didn't make much sense to me since I already have a Ruger American that I did some upgrades to; Timney...

As stated, I'm looking for some decently priced once used 458 Socom brass.

Escaped to my other home in PA for the long weekend. My rifles were all happy to see me. Here is my AK and SKS hanging out. Tomorrow I'm off to the game lands range by Lake Wallenpaupak to have me some fun!

Bought on Amazon on May 7, 2022. Used only once during a long range precision class. Quickly decided I did not like SFP scopes. It will come with the following: Vortex 30mm scope rings Vortex throw lever Vortex riflescope bubble level Tenebraex anti-reflection device Tenebraex ocular and...

Just did a few simple upgrades to my Glock 34 Gen5 recently. Wilson Combat Match Grade Barrel (required filing and minor lathing work to make it fit) Timney Alpha 2.5 lb trigger Zev Combat Tritium Sights Strike Industries Mag Well Strike Industries Weighted Mag Plates Gonna get the frame...

Doing rooftop korean things, reloading some match grade 338 LM with Retumbo and Hornady ELD 285gr Match. This RCBS trickle powder charger and the Lyman powder funnel were amazing purchases.

Anyone know if 220gr HPBT in 30 cal is viable to reload for .308? I picked up three boxes of factory seconds a while back from MidwayUSA. In comparison, Hornady A-Max 168gr are 1.27044 in length vs. MidwayUSA Factory Seconds 1.4955.

I am looking for Large Rifle Magnum MATCH primers. I will trade 2:1 ratio of Small Rifle MATCH primers, have four boxes of Small Rifle MATCH, so I'm looking to get 2 boxes. I will also trade 1:1 of my Small Rifle MATCH for Large Rifle Magnum. I'll also buy Large Rifle Magnum MATCH or standard...

I'm picking up my Ruger PR 338 Lapua soon and from everything I've read about the rifle, the factory stock seems to be iffy. The main complaint being no area to grip to pull the rifle into your shoulder. I am thinking about getting a Magpul PRS3 stock but I've read that the standard LOP on the...

https://nypost.com/2022/04/12/nypd-investigating-possible-explosion-in-brooklyn-subway-station/ A spokesman for the FDNY said multiple undetonated devices were found. The suspect is believed to be dressed in some sort of construction garb, similar to an MTA worker, sources said.

I'll post pictures a little later. It's a nice addition to my semi auto shottie family next to my Benelli M4 and Mossberg 930 SPX Tactical. I ordered the Aridus stock adapter to use the Magpul SGA 590 stock and the Aridus Universal QDC side saddle. Unfortunately they were out of stock on the...

If anyone could help with some information, it would be a great help. I recently purchased a somewhat sporterized Carl Gustaf Mauser 6.5x55. It looks as if the stock is mostly intact. Some of the metal hardware from the barrel end, handguard and rear ladder sight. The sight was replaced with a...

Decided to spend my New Years at my place in PA. Had a good time sighting up my Holosun Laser/IR. Just have to figure out if the Surefire dual pressure switch will work with a Streamlight TRL-1 HL and the Holosun Laser/IR. The NVG worked great, did some shooting off his back deck in Lord's...

Wife gave me cash to spend at the Oaks show today. Got me a new plate carrier and bump helmet with all the fixins' , some fancy knives and a Holosun IR laser. Rothco plate carrier with Hesco level 3+ ceramic stand alone plates and a Bump helmet with NVG mount and rail hardware. For my comms I...
