No. But not due to any fault of the buyback. DPS had a screw up on their end when i called it in, and I wasn't able to. But had DPS been running correctly, I would have had a really nice Ithaca model 37 20g a lightweight in my safe right now! (all for $50.)

IE...the little old lady with her husband's unregistered pistol he bought through the mail in the 50s. That's most of what I saw. Almost all handguns. Lots of elderly people. Looked like lots of older veterans (many were wearing those blue caps that say "____ war veteran" or have the name...

If I only buy long guns, I don't need to dil lout the DPS form 3 and send them to DPS, sellers PD, etc... do I?

Buying guns at gun buyback?

This Saturday is the gun buyback in hartford. Is there anything illegal about parking nearby and offering to buy guns from the people about to turn them in? I'm not going to be offering anyone who looks seedy. Don't want to risk receiving stolen property. But if I see the proverbial little old lady ...

There are 80%'ers for more than just ar-15's.
Quite right. I have dreamed for years of doing a 1911 80% build up.

I don't know. That's part of the point of the question. But as far as I can tell, the whole point of an 80% lower is that it's not a gun, it's not a receiver etc... It's just a piece of metal. Only once you finish it does it then become a gun. So if it's not a gun, then I can't imagine a gun law say...

80% lower here in CT?

Odd question here. I have a friend out of state who wants to get an 80% lower, but for reasons that don't warrant discussion is unable to order one. As a CT resident, I obviously would not be able to complete or build up an 80% lower here in CT because the registration date has passed, etc... etc......

Thanks! That's how it seemed to me. Just hard to believe they missed it! Seems like this baby wins the "under the radar" achievement award!

Just checking on legality

Lets say I have an SKS-M. It takes AK mags (oh no!!! the dreaded LCM!!!!) But it has a Monte Carlo stock (no pistol grip), no muzzle attachment (i.e. flash hider, muzzle break, etc…), and no bayonet lug. it's just a standard semi-auto that happens to accept AK mags, is this something that needs to b...

It's a toss up between K frame Smiths and my Ruger Six series guns. The Speed Six is my newest addition to the family and rapidly gaining favor.

I wish I could be there. I was hired about 6 weeks ago for a job down in Brooklyn that entire day.

I've been sending daily emails to all my reps. They know how I feel!

Ummm why would it matter anyway. I mean, in the North Hollywood shootout, the cops really were outgunned, but it mattered because they were in a gun battle with the perps. In this case, Lanza killed himself before the cops ever got eyes on him. It wouldn't matter if he had a squirt gun or a freaking...

I will be there with a long arm that day. Not to make a statement. Those liberals are fucking violent. That rally is on a Thursday. It would be nice to have 1000 people take off work to protest the whacko antigunners, but personally I'd rather see yesterday's crowd take off from work to testify in ...

Wait a minute. Feb. 14th is a Thursday. The antis are holding a rally on a weekday? Really? Do they expect to get the numbers we got?

We need to be there then as much or more than today. Be there or surrender OUR liberty. I like mine. Hope you love yours. I will be there with a long arm that day. Not to make a statement. Those liberals are fucking violent. Please no. Yeah, I'll be there. We need to be there and in force!!!!
