I think this show was moved to Pennsylvania. I went a few years ago, and as noted above, it was largely high end and antiques.

So can i just write something up saying where and when i got the lower and when i got the upper and have it stamped by i notary? I don't think the "where and when" detail is necessary. To quote DPS-414-c, submit a "sworn affidavit that the specified assault weapon was purchased in co...

Gamaliel's free shipping deal doesn't include shot, wads, or shotgun target ammo. Your link shows $13 shipping if you buy 2 bags at $45 each, or $51.50 per bag, which probably ends up pretty close to what Cabela's (or any other retailer, for that matter) has it for, if they have it in stock. Unless ...

Sure they're worth something, but how much will depend on what they are. Aftermarket ones like Briley will almost always be worth more than the OEM ones, extended more than flush, etc. Shotgunworld.com and trapshooters.com are good places to sell them, but first you need to figure out what you have-...

Try True Dog Knives in Monroe 203 261-1066. I'm not sure if he makes custom knives, but if not I'm sure he could direct you to the local talent.

The 30 is a doublestack subcompact and it does hold 10.

A recently posted feedback in the sticky section seems to have disappeared, maybe due to the change of servers? Is stuff still migrating over or should I repost? Thanks.

Have you looked at the Appleseed marksmanship program? http://www.appleseedinfo.org/ They teach the basic fundamentals of rifle marksmanship, and you can use a .22 to keep the costs down if you wish. Centerfire or .22, the fundamentals are the same. It's not very tactical, no jumping out of cars or ...

Anyone know how many times you can re-load hulls? That depends on the hull. In 12 gauge, I'm of the opinion that the Remington hulls- STS, Nitro, Gun Club, even the black Game Load hulls- are far and away the best, much better than the current version of the Winchester AAs. I generally stay away fr...

Can't say about mere mortals, but if you're CT State Police brass not much happens except "verbal counseling" and then you end up getting promoted to agency commander within a couple of years. http://articles.courant.com/2002-04-09/news/0204090171_1_edward-lynch-state-police-officers http:...
