Don't know what gauge you need to use, but Harbor Freight has very inexpensive brakes. The cheapest one is about $33 and will handle stock up to 16 gauge and 18" if that will do it. http://www.harborfreight.com/18-inch-be ... 39103.html

BTW, I'm not sure why, but I can't edit or delete my own posts in this forum. Mods, feel free to delete this post and the first post I entered with the defective url tags. Sorry about the mess.

OK - This looks to be the catch all that allows "assault weapons" with more than two evil features (but not select-fire weapons). Sec. 53-202m. Circumstances when assault weapons exempt from limitations on transfers and registration requirements. Notwithstanding any provision of the genera...

If you use a pre-ban lower, then you can have all the 'evil features' banned by CT's AWB that do not require a NFA tax stamp. Can you (or anybody) point me to the statute or rule that says pre-AWB assault weapons are allowed if purchased today? In looking at the relevant statutes on line I got the ...

$200. Packing list called for 400. I went through about 225. Class was at Blue Trail.

Update: I took their Defensive Pistol I yesterday (it's a prerequisite for other classes) and was really pleased. I liked the instructors and thought they were very good. The basic instruction was solid and the drills we ran were fun, interesting and useful. I will definitely train with these guys a...

I'd be happy to, soon as I know my way around myself. I'm not into trap and skeet at all, yet, but I'm excited to learn. There are some very competitive shooters that are members, and I've been told that they're willing to teach a new guy, so I intend to take advantage of that. I figure that skill h...

Just to update this: I completed my membership process yesterday. I'm really looking forward to using it. So far (and it's rare in my experience that you can say this about any place), every single person I have spoken with has gone out of their way to be helpful and friendly. And they even make a d...

So I went and visited Hamden Fish and Game. They have nice facilities, including trap, skeet and sporting clays stations (not sure what all the differences are, honestly) and a 100 yard rifle/pistol range. The facilities seem really well maintained and everybody I met was very friendly and helpful. ...
