    30 carbine questions

    Thats what I was trying to get at with him, but I wasn't going to argue with someone to shell out 1200 bucks plus smithing fees. I was just curious if that lug was the only thing stopping him from selling it... as it could be easily removed from what I can see... oh well not like he had the...

I inquire, and he said law enforcement only... I asked why? He said because it...

    What is a good age to introduce Shooting Sports and Gun Appreciation to your children ?

    Im a long way off, and the range i joined allows i believe 7 or 8 yo to shoot under supervision. But thanks for the heads up

    What is a good age to introduce Shooting Sports and Gun Appreciation to your children ?

    I know I'm probably way ahead of myself here, but with my first child on its way, I was wondering when it would be a good time to begin teaching him about shooting, defense and safety. My wife isn't opposed to him learning early, as we keep several guns in the house for defense, as well as a...

    When does everyone think Ammo will be back to acceptable levels

    Sorry if this post is redundant and is somewhere else. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on when ammo will be readily available again... or at least at levels in which retailers can't price gouge us to death... only asking because a friend of a friend of mine is considering "gifting" me...

    Would a new NY Republican Governor be able change NY Gun Laws for the better.

    Would a new NY Republican Governor be able change NY Gun Laws for the better.

    Wouldn't sweeping gun reform need to pass both the house and senate? Please be yes...lol... I can't bear to think about having to bury my guns in the yard or buy a boat so they can be lost in an unfortunate boating accident.

    Would a new NY Republican Governor be able change NY Gun Laws for the better.

    I could be wrong, but I thought Governors outline there legislative agenda, and propose these to the legislators via state proposals (executive). In a sense trying to create laws that fit their agenda. Similar to a President offering bills to the house and senate. Of course it would need to pass...

    Would a new NY Republican Governor be able change NY Gun Laws for the better.

    Been debating with my brother recently about NY Gun Laws in general. He is a Democrat, and quite liberal. But is a gun owner himself. He recently bought an AR during lock down... be it a neutered fixed mag version, thats completely impractical for defense, took a gun smith 10 minutes to un-jam a...

    Went to a small lgs in my town, basically its a 10×10 room. Hes been unable to stock anything in quantity to keep up with demand... I foolishly thinking my 2k rounds for each rifle was plenty before the spike... A few trips to the range and club and here I am down to a few hundred of each...

    Would This Firearm Be Treated Like The Shockwave?

    He had a little stack of 3x5 cards that explained what the Shockwave was and why its ny compliant... said LEGAL IN NY in bold across the top with about 2 or 3 sentences. Perhaps he made them, or his distributor made them, they didnt look official but they did look professional in quality... i...

    Would This Firearm Be Treated Like The Shockwave?

    Did you see these 2 models for sale in NY somewhere? I saw an lgs selling high points and I've always wanted one. But know they are not safe act compliant, so I asked if those were LE only and he said no, they are perfectly legal in his eyes, that a magwell and a pistol grip are 2 different...

    Looking for a gun club within an hour or so from Rockland

    Sorry I thought you meant Rise, unfortunately I dont know any members and it seems that you must know someone to be considered. Which I fully understand. But makes it kinda hard when you don't come from a Gun friendly social group, I'm literally the only one in my family and my wife's family...

    Looking for a gun club within an hour or so from Rockland

    This is where I've been going, I enjoy the people there, and give them most of my range business. However their membership prices are very high and you still need to pay per range visit. Which can add up to quite alot of money even shooting every 2 weeks... I'm looking into mcsc right now and...

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    Its actually really fun to shoot... I've been running it at the range, had a few bad cycle issues that I chalk up to a bad box of 55 gr rounds I got at a gun show... loaded up 62 gr rounds and the gun performed like a gem... I'm not thrilled with the mags so I ordered some 10/30s (perm) but...

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    Good to know, I had issues using lower grain rounds went with a higher grain this time n had no issues. Fired out 50 rounds cleanly and for iron sights was completely ok with my accuracy

    If that's not a problem that would be great, I'm researching parts you mentioned now. Just to get them while I have some extra cash laying around... Really appreciate the assistance. Thank again

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    Not to be a pain in the, but I'm still a relatively new gun owner. Would you mind telling me what parts I should get my hands on? Thank you for the advice.
  43. Martydondon

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    Great to know about the warranty! Love a company that stands behind the product... it does feel cheapish but a foldable 5.56 with a built in bipod cant go wrong for the price... thanks for the info much appreciated!
  44. Martydondon

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    Thanks for the feedback. Shot about 20 rounds at the range to get a feel for it... But it will definitely be a backpack gun for sure...
  45. Martydondon

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    It does have a cheap plastic feel, though the guy who sold it to me said it could be coated to make it more rugged. Dont know if he was blowing smoke up my a** or not, maybe something to look into
  46. Martydondon

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    That's was a the main motivation for me, light and compact, sure for 100 more I could have went with a bare bones AR but mobility and weight were the selling points for me... thanks for the feedback!
  47. Martydondon

    Hey Anyone have experience with Kel Tec?

    Being the prepper/survivalist I am, I tend to lean towards guns that are light and that preferably fold or disassemble easily. I recently bought the Kel Tec SU 16b, I think for the price and functionality for me it's a great gun. Shoots great, cycled 2 ammunition brands perfectly. But I wanted...

    Pair arrested for possessing a loaded hand gun in a vehicle following a traffic stop on the Thruway.

    Not at all, in this instance the guns were not legally possessed. And each time some idiot with a gun commits a crime, kills someone. Those who wish to see our 2nd Amendment completely stripped away have ammunition to go to Albany and Washington to put more restrictions on our rights. In this...
