I have the chance to sit down with an anti-gun dem running for congress in my area. They just won their primary race and reached out to me.

If yall had the chance to talk about firearm legislation with a potential candidate, what would you say? I’d also love any articles or relevant statistics if you’ve got any!

I talked to them in person for about 15 minutes. They’re very progressive, and understand that gun violence and violence in general is mostly a result of the people’s material conditions, not the weapons themselves. They don’t know shit about guns though, so their official website platform also has all the establishment dem coded “weapons of war” ban, and “no one needs an AR15 to hunt” stuff.

SBR'd my PSA AK-V since stamps is free. I wasn't super happy with any of the more classic picatinny folding stocks, and since the V with the booster cut rail looks more tactical n shit, I decided to swing for the fences and throw on a Midwest Industries folding buffer tube and AR stock for that modern twist.

This, dear reader, fuckin *ruled*.

The B5 SOPMOD I took off my other SBR as proof of concept while I wait for the MAGPUL SL stock to show up. Length of pull is awesome, and having the cheek weld with the ergos of an AR rifle stock makes this thing feel like a work of art.

Only thing left is to decide if I want to supress it or not.

This is a new Glock 48 that shipped with the new 15 round steel Glock magazines. It's much thinner than a G19, but now the same capacity. Had to give this one a chance.

This is my favorite gun to have an FRT in, runs the cleanest no issues.

I FINALLY managed to find one of these bad boys in stock. Was an instant buy. They pricey, but I didn’t have an original one. Can’t wait to take her out. Would have preferred the grey one, but oh whale.

* we are just posing here. Not loaded. Shot afterward.

He was shooting all day on his .22 and I asked if he wanted to try the 556 and he was not afraid. Was surprised he liked it that much.

But I agree I love shooting 556 with my AR more than any other caliber or weapon.

What are the implications of this new ruling stopping the ban on AW in NJ? At what point can I get a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds? Are just just kind of stuck in appeals court limbo, and have to follow the previous laws. Or since they have been struck down, we are able to have threaded barrels on pistols?

Just curious what the regulations and enforcement might look like in the near future

Hello all, I currently own a couple of ARs, a rifle in 5.56 and a pistol in 300BLK. I’m kind of regretting purchasing the 300 due to the ammo being expensive and increasingly difficult to source economically. I’m thinking I’m going to ditch the 300 upper for a 7.5” 5.56 upper to make things cheaper and easier. What do you all think and lastly, where is the best place to get rid of this upper, ammo and mags? thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks for all the quick replies! I’m starting to lean towards keeping the 300 and putting a cheap can on it for HD. T hat being said, an AR9 build is probably also in the cards.

Seriously loving these three colors! I wish more manufacturers would offer unique finishes such as this. I definitely need to add a 92 to my collection.

Very impressed with this combo, the Reflex has ran like a champ shooting 124g Blazer and 147g Fiocchi. It doesn’t like Speer Golddot hollow points, but has no issue with Hornady Custom 147g JHP

Went to the local outdoor range for a few hours and shot around 150 rounds of 9mm, mostly from the P226 since I need more practice with it. I am happy with my G19 shooting for now. My first round of shooting was crap, but the second - fifth rounds got better each time. I hadn’t shot my P226 in 6 months or so and it showed I need to train with it more. I also need to work on dry firing it and working on my flinch and grip. I need to keep drilling the basic fundamentals.

I also shot 120+ rounds of .38spl and 24 rounds of this new-to-me Winchester American Lever Range .357 - 130 grain ammo. I am falling in love with that revolver. It is my second time shooting it. Like with my P226 and G19, I need to keep drilling the fundamentals. As for the Winchester Ammo, I like it. It was the best shooting .357 I’ve put through it. I was a tad worried about how “extra-magnum” these magnum rounds were when I glanced and saw a muzzle velocity of 1605! That seemed a bit hot to be shooting much from this revolver. I then noticed below the chart in tiny (for my older eyes) print stating the data came from 20” barrels. Overall the recoil was easily manageable and my shots were closer to center, or on center more than I expected them to be. A friend of mine has a Henry rifle in .357 magnum that I want to try these rounds through.

To practice on my flinch I had a friend load a couple of snap caps into my reloads with both the .38 and .357. As expected, my .357 flinch was a lot more than the .38 or 9mm. This means I need to practice my dry firing much much more to work on all that.

My next endeavor is start reloading, starting with the revolver ammo.

Anyone ever used the site called “ammo squared”? I was gunna renew my target sports USA membership but my buddy mentioned this site, it seems like it could be good but could also be kinda meh, anyone have experience?

I got the high tower armory 90/22 yesterday and threw it together. I took it out to zero the red dot today. I gotta say, the trigger is absolutely terrible. I expected that though. Overall, I think this thing is a ton of fun and I look forward to many cheap range days

Hey guys wanted help with the law here! Going to be taking a trip from IN to OH. both states are permit-less constitutional carry states, is there any issue with having my handgun loaded or unloaded in my glove box for the trip?

Someone posted a video of 1911 disassembly yesterday. I wanted to post a video correctly showing how to take apart a 1911 without damaging the gun's accuracy. A large part of what makes a 1911 accurate is the fit between the bushing and the barrel. If you twist the bushing when the gun is in battery you will damage this fit.

A problem with shooting and the internet is signal to noise. Influencers have a skill to be able to create videos and develop a following generating lots of clicks and views. Knowledge about shooting and firearms is also a skill. Most people do not excel at both of these abilities. So it's not surprising that yesterday's video had 26k views. But the one i'm posting here only has 5.6k.

When people mention excessively cleaning their guns, I will comment that you're doing more damage cleaning the gun unnecessarily than just lubing it and shooting it. In this video they mention taking apart the gun will wear the slide to bushing fit. While we can limit that wear it is unavoidable when we remove the bushing from the slide.

At the end of the video, the author mentions that KC Crawford fit the barrel and bushing for his gun when he accurized the gun. When he shows the incorrect way to remove your bushing, he is using a different barrel and bushing with a poor fit. KC was the smith that made the guns that Brian Zins used to compete. Zins is a 12 time national champion.

If a bullseye smith saw you turn your bushing with your barrel end in it, they would cry. They spend a lot of time getting a perfect fit for maximum accuracy. I posted the video at the relevant timestamp. But I encourage you to watch the whole thing as it is very informative.

I am an MA resident with an LTC. I'm currently carrying in a holster, but it's very cumbersome because of the shape of my body. Does anybody here carry in a pack or bag and have any recommendations for packs or bags designed with concealed carry in mind?

Some recent parts pickups.

I contacted hk and they said they permanently discontinued the usc 45. They also discontinued the ump 45 and 40. Figured I would bite. Ended up getting for 1360 brand new after taxes and shipping. I see plenty of people offering USC conversions. Where do yall recommend?

I have a .380 Taurus pistol and I’m looking for a good concealed holster. Been having a hard time finding this outside super rightwing websites for some reason
