Gun Thread: Post Hurricane Madness Edition! [Weasel]
Random Sig from the WeaselCollection
Some assembly required...
Simply cleaning a weapon requires some level of disassembly and I was always curious about all the little pins and springs and other teensy parts that make up the innards of a gun. Frequently my re-assembly attempts ended with leftover parts on the bench, necessitating a frantic YouTube search until a helpful video help was found, or worse, taking the gun and a baggie of loose parts to my gunsmith. Two things eventually happened; my collection of Sig Sauer semi-automatic pistols grew large enough, and I got tired of paying for simple adjustments, repairs and parts replacement. It was at this point that I decided to take Sig's Armorer's Course so I packed a bag, pointed the car north, and headed for Epping, New Hampshire. The Sig Sauer Academy sits on 140 acres a little over an hour north of Boston, MA. The facilities include an assortment of indoor/outdoor ranges, classrooms, tactical training areas and a pro shop. It's a really impressive setup, and I'd been to the Epping facility before taking rifle courses so I was familiar with the layout. Signing up was simple and done online, including uploading various credentials required for the specific courses. The armorer's courses are conveniently held in locations all over the country, last two days, and cost $430. Upon successful completion, students are awarded a certificate good for three years which allows them to fully service the pistols while maintaining the factory warranty. Recertification is a one day refresher class for $260. The P226 in the picture above is the gun I took apart and put back together about 100 times over the course of two days. You start by working on the smaller sub-assemblies and eventually work up to complete disassembly and re-assembly of the pistol. I thought I'd be cute and organize the parts by group to make it easier, but I guess the instructor had seen this before and helpfully mixed everything up into a big pile for me. Eventually, it was fairly straightforward to take a pile of parts and turn it into a working firearm. The course is quite a bit of fun, but it's also no joke. You must demonstrate proficiency working on the weapons to the instructor and pass a written test. I've found the experience gained even helps in troubleshooting problems with other brands of firearms. I have to say I'm happy to have taken the course but I haven't felt compelled to keep the certification current. I'm also not sure I'd pay any more than the the $430 they're charging. The quality of instruction is very good but at that price I don't think it's a bargain for the casual shooter. Not a waste, but not a bargain.So that was my opinion last year, and it's sort of still my opinion this year. What changed? Well, I think my opinion of the relative value of the knowledge gained has increased. In these difficult and uncertain times which we're all living in together, I think the value of what I learned has gone up. Way up. Rather than before simply being a matter of mere convenience, I know I can work on these guns and repair them myself as necessary when it's not practical or possible for me to take them to someone else to fix. I think you need to have at least some familiarity with the operation and assembly of your firearm. Why am I mentioning this now? Well, for two reasons; first, it saves me from having to think of new things to write about, and more importantly, it identifies something you need to be thinking about in addition to buying ammo and practice. Your trusty carry handgun isn't going to do you much good if, say, a trigger spring breaks and you do not have the spare part and the ability to replace it. Yourself. If you followed the Sig Sauer course links above, you will have found there are currently no armorer's classes listed, I'm guessing due to the Chinese Cooties, and even the popular basic defensive handgun courses are full until sometime in October and November. Guess all the new handgun owners have decided to train up, but the armorer's courses are simply gone altogether. Who would have thought this would be the new reality even a mere six months ago, and what do you do now that it is? I would encourage you to start looking for general maintenance references and resources for your most frequently used firearms, and identify the most common parts subject to wear and order replacement parts now. I'm talking about springs, pins, grip screws and firing pins - that sort of thing. Anything that is subject to wear and tear through normal use. You need to have these spare parts now, and not try to source them when they break and are needed in a hurry. You should also have a basic maintenance kit with the tools needed for precision work. A small set of gunsmithing screwdrivers, needle nose pliers, punches, and a small brass hammer. I am sure you can think of other things to add. Clearly label the parts and get a small inexpensive fishing tackle box to keep it in. There are countless reference books on basic firearm repair and you can probably find one with an exploded parts diagram for your particular firearm. Keep this with your tools and you will thank yourself later. Here's a video example someone made of a Sig P226 reassembly, and there are a lot of others. It's difficult to see detail of some of the small parts, but you get the idea.
Here's some information on the Henry rifle recall [h/t redc1c4 and JTB]

Got a 1898 Krag with a bored out chamber and a broken fore stock. All else its there. Trying to decide what to do with it. New barrel is ~ 600 bucks and a new stock is un-findable. Guess I'll part it out, assuming I can get the barrel loose.

Was at the trap range today and shot really, really well with youngest son's double-barrelled 12-ga - the one that was a gift from his oldest brother.
Youngest Son is now out of the Marines, moving to NDak, and sooner or later will want to take that shotgun with him, so I'm going to have to find something exactly like it, if possible.

I replaced a barrel in a 1911 just to see if I could. Purchased a "drop in" SS barrel and hand fitted. By "hand fitting" I mean emery cloth and fine files. It worked quite well, just took time and patience.

Fortunately the Sig P226 is very easy to break down and take care of. My TacOps is my fave hand cannon. Fits my hand perfectly, fires smoothly, deals 20 rounds per mag...it is an amazing gun.
Recuperating still...but I used the time to throw all my gun related stuff into a closet, sans the guns I have scattered to various positions around the house for self-defense. I've been encouraged to take down any skunks I see outside (the nearest neighbor is a mile away) so I may have to do that if kept cooped up in the house much longer.

Brother Weasel, I fully concur as to being able to work on one's own gun(s).
I actually *enjoy* taking a S&W revolver down to basic parts, cleaning out the various nooks n' crannies, and getting it all back together, oiled, greased and good to go.
One reinforcement to your post though.
Buy Gunsmithing screwdrivers. Brownell's is as good a source as any.
It's either that or scar-up your gun's various screws and fasteners, and you don't want to do that.
Add brass punches, drifts and a combination brass/nylon double sided tap-hammer.
Do *not* add jeweler's files, Arkansas stones, emery cloth or God Forbid, any kind of Dremel tool into the mix.
At least, not until your expertise actually approaches the meaning of the word "expertise".

Ola, ca ca?
Swamped for gun auctions at the moment, there are 3 major ones all in the next 6 weeks, after two years of nothing because of the shootings and the rona b.s.
Lots of goodies to buy, just saw a nice BAR by Royal Typewriter Co on the list. So many goodies, so little cash. I am hamstrung for the next 6 months as I have just ordered a MAG58.
On the actual shooting front I was breaking in the .338 with the new Vortex Razor scope and trying to sort out load development. Was getting an average of 2910 fps with the 250gn Bergers which should be good to 1600 mtrs from a 300 mtr zero point, so happy with that. A nice day for shooting but we have started lambing (effing early) and it's still midwinter .

Hey there Weasel, howdy feller gun nuts...Let us gather together to celebrate the gun thread...
Still no range time for me. The heat is more than my old fat ass can take...This has got to end someday soon... right?
I did manage to re seal my Smith and Wesson 79G air pistol.Actually, I re sealed it,and after 2 shots the valve seal failed. I tracked down a replacement on Evil Bay that fits and works great, but is not even close in appearance to the original.
The gun shoots better than it ever did before, so I am pleased.
I snuck a pellet trap out back and fired off a bunch of pellets. ( In the Nations Capital it is illegal to shoot an air gun outside...)
I have had an air gun range in my shop for years, but since I closed up it is a bit more of a challenge.
Shooting practice IS shooting practice, no??

Weasel, having the tools and information to do at least basic repairs and maintain your guns is important. I have detailed disassembly/assembly books or printouts for just about every gun I own. This includes how to repair/maintain bolts on rifles since the bolts are the most complicated part on those guns.
I have them in hard copy because I don't trust any assurance that the information will be available on the internet. Or if the power is down. Mrs. JTB insisted and I agreed. (Yes, I'm married to an angel.)
I've never tried it but I have a DVD by Jerry Miculek on how to rehab and smooth the action on a S and W Model 10 revolver. I was always reluctant to try fearing I would screw up the job. Now I have enough 38 special and 357 revolvers that I can take the risk.

months or until the end of the year. That is what my gut says.

ew Berger Elite Hunter? It's 156 g. in 6.5 Creedmoor.
Posted by: RI Red at August 09, 2020 07:24 PM (wkURT)
Berger Elite Hunter only in .338LM for me.
I surprisingly do not have a 6.5 Creedmoor, I see no need for me, as I have plenty of 6.5 x 55 Swede and 7.62 x 51 rifles and loads. I see no real advantage to move to the newish round on the block.

I think the shortage will extend far past the end of the year. (And that is if the election DOES NOT intensify the Antifa violence.)
Based on the last ammo shortage, the high profit margin items will come back first. Cheap range ammo is not going to be "cheap" for a long time.

So, I inherited a Marlin 32/20 lever action. Hex barrel. Straight stock. I looked up the serial number. Built 1892. Still functions and I shot it a few years ago. We have one box of really old ammo. Wonder if there is a source for ammo for this old timer ?
A quick bingle for "obsolete ammunition" turned up some likely sources. Here's one.

Never was a Sig-fanatic, though I did (do) covet a P210. Then I got a P365, with manual safety, as the j-frame smith wasn't quite up to handling the current unpleasantness (it is now riding backup).
Great gun, reliable from the get go, and twice the capacity as the 642. Factory night sights, too. Two thumbs up.

55 Weasel, having the tools and information to do at least basic repairs and maintain your guns is important. I have detailed disassembly/assembly books or printouts for just about every gun I own. This includes how to repair/maintain bolts on rifles since the bolts are the most complicated part on those guns.
I have them in hard copy because I don't trust any assurance that the information will be available on the internet. Or if the power is down. Mrs. JTB insisted and I agreed. (Yes, I'm married to an angel.)
I've never tried it but I have a DVD by Jerry Miculek on how to rehab and smooth the action on a S and W Model 10 revolver. I was always reluctant to try fearing I would screw up the job. Now I have enough 38 special and 357 revolvers that I can take the risk.

Thanks JTB. With a little advance planning, the right tools and a few inexpensive parts you can get right back into action.

58 ... RJD,
32/20 ammo is still sold, including black powder cartridges, if any is in stock. Starline and Remington make brass for it but good luck finding some for now.
If your Marlin was actually made in 1892,you might want to limit it t shooting black powder cartridges. I would learn to load my own. The 32/20 is a rimmed, straight wall case, easy to reload.

In the P226 assembly video, it was somehow helpful to hear the guy say "That didn't work." Then get it right on the next try.

Waeselk, I only have 1 sig, its the P226 in 40 cal. (LE trade in). I like it.
"I see no need for me, as I have plenty of 6.5 x 55 Swede and 7.62 x 51 rifles and loads. " Yep, I got plenty of those Swede rifles back in the day.
I picked up a lot (thousands) of that 6.5 x 55 wooden bullet ammo for less than 5 cents a round. You pull the wooden bullet out, dump out the powder (which can be used to reload other stuff), so you have a primed brass case for less than 5 cents for reloading purposes.

IIRC you expressed some chagrin at the speed you moved. It is the SHOOTING that matters.
In a future SHTF scenario, you shoot 'em, and I'll flank 'em and then shoot them.

No shooting updates but I have been extremely busy buying ammo.
I have over 2,000 rounds each of 9mm, .45acp, .30 carbine and .223.
I still have over 5,000 rounds of .22lr from the last ammo shortage times that I have not touched.
Problem is, .45acp went from about 38 cents a round two months ago to 52 cents a round when I went to get some yesterday at the pawn shop.
It's going to get worse.

Repetition is the key to reassembling the guns. By the end of the second day I think I was putting it back together in something like 2 minutes.
Designing a gun? No, not really. How could you ever possibly improve on the 1911 and M1 Garand?

I know I should have more ammo, but it is somewhat of a comfort to think of this big pile as my practice ammo and this quite smaller pile as my SHTF/home defense ammo.
I keep hearing that - outside of actual war - very few rounds are used in an encounter.

Based on the example of Spain, the interval would not last long as once things get well and truly "hot," military stocks will be issued to the rival militias.
The Red Terror in Spain lasted about 2 months before the battle lines began to solidify and within six months both sides were doing regular draft notices, expanding their forces, etc.
Most of the post-apocalyptic stuff assumes a vacuum but something will fill that space.

Very nice Weasel!
This week was H&R Garand vs. SVT-40 Burst Fire Boogaloo 2.
Took both out to distance this week and the Garand shined. At 220, 440, 500 and 650 yards, she just flat out hit what I aimed her at. Offhand at 220 and 440 and kneeling, sitting and prone at that plus 500 and 650 yards she rang steel all day long. All I had to do was click the rear sight to 200, 400, 500 and 600 and let fly then work back down click, click, click and she was on. No hiccups, no jams, no misfires.
The SVT-40, however, continued her 2 round burst fire ways. I cleaned the bolt before this round, so that was not the problem. Apparently, what is happening is the trigger bar works fine until I press the trigger all the way back in which the trigger bar will dip slightly allowing the hammer to miss catching the trigger sear resulting in auto fire, which then resets as it should after the 2 round burst is complete. I fired single rounds for much of the day and the SVT was accurate but no match for the Garand this day.
I did have fun though loading 2 rounds at a time and letting fly with 2 round bursts at the end of the day and actually hitting with the first round each time at 440 yards.
I ordered a still in the cosmoline trigger group from Apex Gun Parts so I can compare the two and see how and if they operate differently. Replacing the trigger spring may also work as this one may be weak, even though when I examine the trigger group out of the rifle it appears fine.
Final score: H&R Garand 2, SVT-40 0.

Yep. The RMBS dad left me with a pretty complete reloading set. I need to get some 5.56 dies and relocate that stuff from my mother's basement to the Fortress of Legal Solitude soonish.

So going a bit further:
My synagogue has begun doing in-person Saturday morning services. Of course, most of my co-religionists are reliable Libs/Profs (who would sh*t matzah if they knew I was carrying).
But: there is ALWAYS a sheriff's deputy in the parking lot.
I have thus far resisted calling them on their OBVIOUS hypocrisy.

Thanks Weasel. Hello all. I got a laser/flashlight/strobe on my 870 12 ga home defense remake. Now I need a mag tube extension thats about 6-7 inches so it doesn't go way past the 18.5 in barrel. I think that will hold 2 additional shells, but seem to be all sold out. I got a bore laser to tune the laser sight to. That tube extension is the last piece. Oh, and i got a wall mount so I can keep it in the entryway closet, easily available.

How long do you all think this ammo shortage is going to last?After the election AND only if Trump wins. If he loses, no idea if conditions will ever return to normal. Range time this week - benchresting Hellcat and Ruger Mark IV with Sig Zero and Holosun optics. All great. Shot a box of 5.56 just to keep the dust off. Hot but not intolerable.Here's a great idea that I stole from product reviews somewhere regarding brass polishing. I have a cheap Franklin Armory Case Tumbler. Results were just acceptable. Added a funnel to the center all thread (pointy side up) with a nut to secure same. This addition remarkably turbocharges the motion of cases during operation. Second idea was to use a cap full of NuFinish car wax and quarter a used dryer static sheet. Now I'm getting beautifully shiny brass in just 2 hours.

Given a crowd scene, I'd consider larger ammo capacity than normal in a carry gun, though.

I also have .45, .38 and .223, quantities unknown.
I have not shot my Sig P226 since February, getting withdrawal symptoms.
I am checking ammo prices every now and then but they are expensive, holding out until it comes down

Tried out my new ARs at the range last week. Shooting down and to the left using open sites at 100 yards. The splatter targets were nice but I need scopes. So I out a Sig Sauer 1x 20 red dot on the full length AR. The other is an AR pistol.
I think I want a more powerful scope for the AR pistol. So recommendations are encouraged. Same goes for my mini 30. Any scope recommendations?
First time ever shooting the 5.56 round. I was expecting more of a kick.

I just bought a P320 compact but I was surprised to see it does not have a manual safety. (My mistake). Not being a vet or a real gun guy, and 29, and not highly practiced in trigger discipline, I thought of trading or selling it.
Then I thought, well, maybe I should practice discipline a few thousand times. So, I have begun. Good idea?

A couple of nice days at the range this week, got the last of my new scopes sighted in. I love them all. It's been so hot that my beach chair umbrella that I clamp to the bench has become my new favorite range accessory. There's a lot more ammo being purchased than being fired, sooner or later people have to run out of storage space. Much like the great toilet paper shortage. Good luck with the mowing Weasel, I could barley get my little tractor through mine this morning. Greetings all.

another week of chores, including today...
only gun related activity was DROSing and picking up. (and sending MOAR links to Weasel for him not to use)
same goes for next week, with the good part being i can bring home the Italian Garand right after i do the red tape.
herself got a little golf time in Caturday, so there may be hope for a range trip for us in the near future.

OK, we're past 100 and I'm OT.
When Trump spoke at the Whirlpool plant Friday he said, "So, I have a lot of enemies out there. This might be the last time you see me for a while." I wondered what he meant by that.
Now I see that White House staff all turned out to see the President off when he left on Friday. This seems unusual.
Gateway Pundit--I know, I know--takes these indicators, along with some other things, to say something huge is about to happen. He thinks it's something so huge that Trump needs to stay away from the White House for his own security.
Could there be something to this, or am I just paranoid as hell?

Good Sunday evening, horde!
It's funny--most years, every time there is a hurricane, it is the worstest, most horriblest, most dangerous hurricane that global warming ever wrought, and will certainly Kill Us All!!!11!!!
This year, and maybe last, the only reason I knew there was a hurricane is because Morons or family members were in its path.
Wonder why?

Went to the range on Saturday. Springfield XD5 report with old eyes: 5 yards, good; 7 yards, decent; 10 yards, all inside the target profile. Moral of the story: Don't get old.
AR-15: the indoor range max is 25 yards. I'm working on joining a gun club so I can work farther out.
Thanks, Weasel, for all you do!

Part of the reason I shoot airguns is practice. I have thousands of pellets in 177, and 22 calibers. Fewer in 20 caliber.
It is not *exactly* the same as normal shooting, but the hold on target, trigger squeeze etc is a good substitute, and does not burn up scarce and expensive ammo. Muscle memory is important...
My 2 cents anyway...

I want to give my thoughts on the gun safe breaking in. I have a safe that is probably even cheeper than the one he had. (Just a key to get in). And yes thinking about it it would be pretty easy to get an angle grinder and cut through it. Hitting it right where the lock is and easy in.
That said he did not mount it on studs like every safe owner manual says to or there would have been chunks of wood on the back. Any safe can be broken into given enough time and the right tools. I have mine in a 2 by 6 that is then drilled into the wall studs in 6 places. Sure you can take a saws all and cut it out, but it will take time and be noisy.
The point of a safe is to slow them down, not make it easy to get your guns, or any stuff in the safe.

I know a guy who has a full auto reising SMG, when we go out to shoot that thing we brings boxes and boxes of ammo.

It is a finicky SMG. We have found it is best to load the same type of ammo in each magazine and to not mix stuff from different manufacturers.
If you do that it tends to jam. Plus the selector switch is not the best in the World. You can switch it to full auto and still be on semi. You really have to jam it forward to make it work full auto.
There are reasons why the Marines took some of theirs at Guadalcanal and dumped them in the river.

I was lucky enough to do a one-day class on the new Army M17 pistol last week. Nothing too special if you're used to Sigs, but it is weird to go from the heavy, hammer fired Beretta to a polymer striker fired modern pistol. Of course, the Army made Sig put a manual safety on it. Comes with a 17 and 2 20 round mags, as I recall, so pretty nice.

RI Red, we do to MA and back every year from VA, and 84 to 81 is not a bad drive from the northeast (we get off at the MA tpke to head east to Cape Cod).
At Harrisburg we get off on 581 once west of the Susquehanna, and take that to 15 S. That is a good route for us because we are in Loudoun.
Around here we see Teslas with smarmy vanity tags (CO2FREE), Priuses with sanctimonious stickers, and plenty of pickups and other vehicles with Gadsden tags.
You should be just fine, even in the suburbs of the Swamp

And The videos above were excellent. Short and sweet are good. I feel yours are always a very efficient length. And the first one has inspired me to take a somewhat more advanced course. I have only taken the basic NRA course. Now to read the comments. If anyone is still around, I joined the NRA some 5-6 years ago. I have read some mixed things about them here, are you guys, who have thought about these concepts more, are you guys NRA supporters?

Was he expecting it to stun the guy out like in the movies?

Range report: took spouse carbine training.
I have printed assembly instructions for every weapon, 3-ring binder in the cave. Every one has been stripped to the frame.
Have correct tools for carbines, bolt guns, and semi-auto pistols and some spare parts for some guns - many springs, firing pings, extractors, grip screws, detent pins, roll pins, screw kits - that sort of thing.
Presently reworking some precision ammo. New barrels made with my reamer have different load and sizing requirement that previous best. Pull and keep bullets and powder. Resize then neck-expand primed brass. Reuse the powder - 41.52 gr +- 0.02 grain. This is some work - working on three full fat 50 boxes.

Antifa cannot exist outside the careful ecosystem of its blue strongholds.
Sorry that is not true. Antifa and BLM have both made attempts in a number of Red Communities - for example very small towns in North and South Dakota. They have been unable to stage riots in any of them because they have been met by armed citizens.
Be aware that the left has trained shooters and militia. They are just holding them back for when the shooting starts in earnest. Don't discount Antifa/BLM, and the left wing militias, they are much better organized than we are, and they are very dangerous. The left has also been building arms stock piles.

If you shoot traditional muzzleloaders, rifle or shotgun, get yourself a good quality mainspring vise. I got the 30 dollar one from Track of the Wolf. USA made and even I didn't screw up using it. You might only need one every year or so but they are cheaper than replacing an entire lock.
I keep it and some other muzzleloader specific tools in a separate pouch.

I have to admit to being more than a little disappointed with the NRA.
What's that quote that goes something like "every great cause starts
as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degrades into a
racket." I blame LaPierre for taking the NRA down the last step. The
TV preacher hair should have been the tip-off.

The NRA will reset just like Wounded Warriors did. It will just take some time and for everyone that can vote to actually vote.
Patron Life here and I will vote in the next election to oust the current leadership.

A.H. Lloyd might not like them, but Lugers come apart easily. I mean, super easy. It's like they have just two screws (on the grips) and almost no parts. At least, no little screws or little springs. Genius. As a bonus, I can hit things with it. On the downside, it's big and heavy. On the upside, I'm not planning to carry it concealed. The way things are going in this country, I'm about to just go around with it in my hand.

Sorry that is not true. Antifa and BLM have both
made attempts in a number of Red Communities - for example very small
towns in North and South Dakota. They have been unable to stage riots in
any of them because they have been met by armed citizens.

Actually, that makes my point.
Outside of blue jurisdictions, they fail.
I've heard that Antifa has immense reserves of skilled special forces operators. Sorry, not buying that George Stavro Blofeld Soros has COBRA's legions in a hollow volcano somewhere.

>>RI Red, the easiest way to avoid NYC is to cross the Hudson via 287 and pick up the Garden State whose northern terminus is 287. There is no NYC traffic enforcement to speak of. The only troopers I see are in Nassau county or the NYS thruway.
Red, just saw this and I agree. The new Tappan Zee Bridge is really beautiful and easy and the views up and down the Hudson are fantastic and there is none of the NYC hassle and the 287 is a pretty drive with few police.
I've done the drive many times and it's a great way to avoid the NYC metro area.

The only screws on my C-96 are the grips. The rest fits together and it is probably the only pistol you can break down to individual component parts and reassemble without formal training.
I don't dislike Lugers, btw. I think they are cool, I just didn't think the one I had was worth the premium price they command.
To put it another way, the same amount of money got me an Astra 300 AND a Beretta 1935, which I enjoyed far more.
Until they sank, of course.

range report:
May include a camera phone photo as well as I was very, very happy with one of my CZ P-07 DAO groups.
The gun shoots very well. But still has light strikes on most ammo, abut once or twice per magazines. So it's not in carry rotation. Need to fiddle with different mainsprings, once they arrive in the mail from CZ Custom.
Did test my Turkish 'Cavalry' shotty. This used to fire both barrels at one trigger pull. It no longer does this. What it does do is put a nice, nice group of buckshot right in middle of the target at 10 yards. It's a 12 gauge so you know you're firing it.
Otherwise did some target transition drills and double tap drills in .22 with the Kadet adapter on my stock CZ P-07.
It was a very good day at the range. Just a little lonely as no other morons were around.

One of the people talking to me about learning to reload eventually might want to start with the S and W 500. He wants one just for the hell of it but ammo costs are tough.
I had planned to start him with 38 specials but no reason the 500 S and W can't be used.
I will say I'm a bit amused at the idea.

BTW, loved the title of this video that the Tube of Y'all put on the side with that video:

Oh and ammo thoughts and weird news:
I bought 500 rounds of .30 carbine since that was reasonably prices and I DO have a carbine. But I couldn't find my 12 gauge buckshot. I thought it was stashed in one case and it wasn't there. BUT I did find about 3k rounds of .22 lr, a bunch of 5.56 rounds and about 100 rounds of 9mm, which I shot yesterday.
I also found my old AK magazines and my G-3 mags.
I....may have too much stuff.

I may get another one someday to round out the collection, it was simply a question of shooting satisfaction/economics. Two mouse guns of Spanish Civil War vintage brought me greater joy than a Weimar Luger.
YMMV.
stripped the Luger completely without training. I was blown away by how
simple it was.

305 The gun shoots very well. But still has light

Spent many hours walking up and down the Tappen Zee Bridge back in the day when traffic would literally be stopped for hours at a time.
Pulled out some beers once and shared them around with other stuck travelers.
The only problem was there was no place to pee unless they were doing work on the bridge and had porta potty's out.

A.H. Lloyd, is the C-96 comfortable to shoot? I mean, the grip looks
like a, uh...uh...a broomhandle. And my Luger didn't command a premium
price point. My wife just had to take it off her 99-year-old mothers
closet shelf.

Very. Yesterday for shits and giggles I used it in our self-defense drill.
It was soooo fun.
The trick is having good grips. I started with really worn ones, and they were okay, but the replacements have this little thumb shelf that gives you great control.
Plus, you feel like Han Solo dropping Stormtroopers.*
And with the stock/holster attached, it is sublime (but tuck your thumb!).
*Yes, I have a full-size M1930 and Solo's is based off a Bolo, but his wasn't firing live rounds.

From all the pictures of Antifa/Blm, it looks like it is about 70%
unwanted women's studies majors. They just don't look that fearsome to
me.
A number of Communist female snipers in WW2 had more kills than Carlos Hathcock or Chris Kyle. And, the Russians were fighting against world class opponents.

What motivated me to take the course? Well, I own a number of P-series guns, and I wanted to be able to take them apart and put them back together without having a lot of leftover parts.
So you saying pulling maintenance on my S&W isn't the same as when I owned a 59 VW and leftover parts were common?

"Sure you can take a saws all and cut it out, but it will take time and be noisy.
"
Like the guy in the video says "All you need is a cordless grinder." Yeah, *ALL* you need is a portable power tool that costs hundreds of dollars.
Dude, if the thief has a portable grinder worth hundreds of dollars, why is he be-ing your place, again? Maybe Weasel's place where he has LOTS of guns, yeah. The guy is also backing a pickup to the house to load up his haul.
The dude breaking in to grab some computers and TVs is NOT bringing a grinder and a saws-all to your place IN CASE he finds a pistol safe.

Because they're so secret.
Having actually been in a war against Communists, I don't under estimate them - which you are doing. Under estimating your opponent will get you killed in a war.
When you fight Communists you have to realize that you are dealing with religious fanatics; the state is their god, and they worship that god, and are willing to fight fiercely for their faith.

The question I'm about to pose has been bugging me since the moment I decided not to kill myself last October.
Background:
I threatened no one. I did not fire the shotgun, though it was loaded, with the safety off when the police recovered it.
I was institutionalized for three weeks, but deemed not a danger to myself or my family, and released with no action taken by the police or the courts.
I am under an order of protection, requiring me to stay away from my home of 30 years.
As far as I'm aware, according to the attorney who negotiated the surrender, I have not been charged with any felonies accruing from this situation.
The police dept. still has possession of the Benelli.
I have maintained firearms through out my life, my boys have their own collection as well. Unfortunately, all the weaponry is at my now estranged wife's house, and I cannot access the residence.
Given the times, and the fact that I live in a blue city environment, I would like to re-arm (as it were).
My questions are:
Am I precluded from owning firearms of any kind?
Will I pass a background check in NYS?
Do I have to disclose my previous "situation" if/when I apply?

I got caught up in a great movie so I'm late!! I'm loving my new toy and probably going to the range tomorrow or Wednesday. I signed up for a membership to Frontier Justice so it will pay for itself in less than 2 trips. Thanks to Hogmartin btw for giving me some lessons on ammo for my new gun.
If I'm feeling confident enough I'll send pics to Weasel of my expertise, such as it is.

Mooch is backing Biden like the rest of the cucks. He is the classic disgruntled employee , who hates Trump and can't seem to talk about anything else.
Hilton impressed the shit out of me by SLAMMING Nevertrump including Scaramucci - then bringing Mooch on his show. He brought up policy point after policy point and Mooch just wanted to bitch about mean old Trump.
Stupid little shit. America just saw what a venal little fuck that sawed-off little turd really is.

I'd also suggest looking for one who has experience in restoration of civil rights cases. I think that's an area of legal specialization. Not that yours have necessarily been taken away, but you probably need someone familiar with that area of law.

Fuck me. First, I'm glad you didn't do it. Second,
the 4473 asks if you've ever been committed to a mental institution,
which it sounds like you have, and is a disqualifying event for a sale
that requires a 4473.

It's a bad idea to contradict an actual lawyer, but I believe it's only *involuntary* commitment. It is possible for it to have been involuntary at the time, but you later agree that it's for the best. I have seen this happen where some papers are passed around, a judge does his thing and it changes from involuntary to voluntary.
So you should look into that.

A question that occurred to me:
If someone mentions "I took that gun apart and couldn't get it back together" or "now I've got two of these" or some such, is it illegal to say something like "I'd take that off your hands for $300"? And then to arrange it?
Does it require waiting for a MoMe to actually do that? Can you transfer a firearm as a non-seller of them (you just have a spare one and you need some bourbon money) via the internet? Across state lines? To a non-resident?
Maybe that could be a Gub Thread topic.

Across state lines is a no-no.
As to the parts question, the only part that matters is the part that holds the trigger stuff.
You can sell barrels, bolts, magazines, springs and whatnot without any rules whatsoever.
Firearm transfers within a state vary by state.

The question I'm about to pose has been bugging me since the moment I decided not to kill myself last October.
Background:
I threatened no one. I did not fire the shotgun, though it was loaded, with the safety off when the police recovered it.
I was institutionalized for three weeks, but deemed not a danger to myself or my family, and released with no action taken by the police or the courts.
I am under an order of protection, requiring me to stay away from my home of 30 years.
As far as I'm aware, according to the attorney who negotiated the surrender, I have not been charged with any felonies accruing from this situation.
The police dept. still has possession of the Benelli.

Have you ever thought of turning this into a Country song? A real Country song, not that pussy pop shit on the radio. Cuz boy, I'll tell you what, that song would be a freakin' HIT!
Screw the gun, go for the money!

But you could go for the easy federal stuff. Black powder weapons and which parts the feds care about.
Though I am not a huge fan of the 1911, I admit that before the Covid I was mulling over buying one of those 80 percent 1911 lowers and then building it out with a parts kit.
No markings at all. Kind of cool.
Ironically, the C96 I have has no markings on the lower. The SN is on the upper, which you can legally replace at will.
Yet another reason to collect the C96.

I don't know how many times I have gotten into pointless arguments, most often on reddit, where "expert gun owners" will argue that the rules of gun safety are for news and don't apply to them since they are experts. I am fairly sure this is what every moron who has shot their asses off said just before they drilled a large hole through some part of their anatomy.
Be safe and follow the 4 laws. I really have a hard time imagining when you MUST violate one of these essential rules.

I really should make a list of the tools I have for firearms. It's easy to lose track of some of the small items.

I certainly hope so, although there's always a chance that reality has other plans. I'm trying to work up a load for the Schultz & Larsen for the clinic but the 100+ temps have been a real disincentive to getting out to the range.

Weasel, missed the thread.
Out on beautiful Pt Loma and down on the bay.
But I've already started getting spare parts - but mostly because almost all my gubs are out of production - from M1s (both kinds, and duh) to the CZ-83 to even the damn 5" XD 9mm (though I think almost all parts are common with the service 4").
But thanks as always for the thread!

Dude, if the thief has a portable grinder worth hundreds of dollars, why is he be-ing your place, again? Maybe Weasel's place where he has LOTS of guns, yeah. The guy is also backing a pickup to the house to load up his haul.
The dude breaking in to grab some computers and TVs is NOT bringing a grinder and a saws-all to your place IN CASE he finds a pistol safe.
*smh*
Posted by: GWB at August 09, 2020 09:15 PM (1XOEC)
You can buy a cordless grinder for about 40 bucks at Harbor Freight. If a thief knows you aren't home, and knows you have a gun safe, bringing a cordless grinder (or even a corded one, $19) would not be a big stretch. Note that having that foreknowledge means we are talking a professional burglar who cases the joint, and makes plans.
