      You live in state A. You have a business/another home in state B. You box up your firearm in state A and ship next day air to yourself in state B. You get on an airplane in state A and beat your package to your other location and take actual possession in state B. Legal, gray area, illegal...

      "Intent" to sell an unserialized weapon

      I'm 59 years old. Say I build an unserialized AR15. I have NO intention to sell this weapon. However, in 20 years my health is poor and I have to go into assisted living. I decide to sell all my firearms because I can no longer keep/use.them safely. Is it NOW a crime to SELL my unserialized...

      Could a Federal UBC law have a potentially good side effect???

      Legal scholars weigh in here............ Follow my logic...... The federal govt passes a UBC law that "prevents" the transfer of any weapon from anyone to anyone without a FFL doing a background check. Wouldn't this invalidate every state Red Flag law in the country?? Wouldn't it be...

      Mobile 1 as gun lube....

      I've seen lots of posts around various gun sites where people rave about Mobile 1 for use as a gun lube. Ok, I get it. 100% synthetic and all that. Thing is, no one EVER mentions what weight oil they use...... A multi weight? A single weight? 30W? 20W? 5W-20? Anyone use this and what...

      What have I got here???

      I recently inherited an ammo can of 30-06 ammo. To my surprise, it appeared that the whole can was M2 AP ammo. Headstamps on the first 100 rounds was DEN 44. Most of the ammo looked shootable, but I don't have a 30-06. So, I decided to pull the bullets and have them loaded in 308 cases in...

      LR/SR PMAG 20 cracked feed lips

      See photo of crack on right side, just below the feed lip. The gun has less than 600 rounds through it. I have 11 twenty round PMAG 20's and some PMAG 25's for my AR-10A. All 600 rounds have been spread out through them all. Even assuming that I used this ONE magazine for all 600 rounds, I'm...

      Military Surplus ammo isn't always a good deal....

      Sometimes the results would be enough to make you ship your pants!! After the round at the bottom of the third photo (the one with the missing primer head) blew out the bottom of my magazine, I gathered up all my brass and proceeded to inspect it all when I got home from the range. I had NO...

      Is this ammo safe to shoot?

      My FIL passed recently. We found some nice goodies......one of which is a 50 cal ammo can full of loose 308 ammo. It still has the receipt from Sportsmans Guide in it. 500 rounds for 89.99 purchased in 1998. After opening, the first rounds I saw..........two had boogered necks (the side of...

      How much is 30-06 AP worth?

      My father-in-law just passed away and we're in California going through his 40+ years of accumulated stuff. He was kind of a prepper and hoarder and we're finding all kinds of survival gear/weapons and ammo. The one jewel we found was a 200 round ammo box full of belted (not linked) 30-06 AP...

      Internet problems....gun websites getting redirected??

      I tried to get on Armalites website. Can't....I keep getting a "Redirecting you to lid_25793" message. Tried to go to 308AR.com..........same message. Later, I searched and was trying to look up specs on Remington Accelerator ammo. Most of the search results gave me the same message when I...

      I'm moving to AZ. Can I still keep my LTCH?

      I was just looking at the State Police handgun licensing website FAQ's. It says that I can get a 4 year PP permit if I have a regular place of business or employment in Indiana. I'm MOVING to AZ, but I'm still WORKING for the same company I do now that's based in Indiana, hence.....I'm...

      INGO banned at Indianapolis International Airport

      Please move if this is not in the correct place. I'm traveling to PWM today. While I was waiting for my flight to leave, I tried to log onto INGO and the site was blocked for being "weapons" related. Funny how it doesn't block me from AZ gun owners forum (I'm moving there later this year), or...

      Interstate gun transfer...another ????

      Just posting to make ABSOLUTELY positive it's done legally. My wife's ex wants to give her some of his guns. They still keep in touch and he wants them to go to someone that will "care" for them. He's in California, she's here in Indiana. Sounds like he's got 2 long guns and a revolver he...

      What's best way to touch up the finish on an AR?

      I've got a couple scratches/scrapes on the barrel and lower from "grounding" my firearm during 3-gun competition. What's the best way to touch up these little boogers? I've been using a black sharpie, but any oil or cleaners automatically strips it right back off. Looking for something a...

      Any AR10 guru's in the house?

      I just picked up a NIB Armalite AR10A from my LGS. The first time I had a chance to fire it was last Friday before the weather took a dump. It pretty much short cycled thru 3 twenty round mags. Dumps the empty cases in a neat pile about 5 feet away at 4 o'clock and bolt closes on an empty...

      Why are some AR hammers notched??

      Back in the 80's, I owned an original Colt AR15 SP1. It had no fwd assist or brass deflector, a pencil barrel, that big 2 piece front takedown bolt, and the hammer had that sharp notch cut into it. I figured out that the bolt carrier was cut different for SP1's than others and that notch would...

      Graphite causes corrosion in AR type rifles???

      The following is quoted directly from the Armalite owners manual: " Under NO conditions should any lubricant containing graphite be used with your rifle. Graphite can encourage rapid corrosion to the aircraft-grade aluminum used in your rifle." Ok, I'm no chemist. But, just HOW exactly...
