Sign on the door says they've lost their FFL and lists various other gun dealers to call for warranty service.

Fair enough... I'm just tired of the panic. People in the gun community makeing decisions based on what MIGHT happen. Its rediculous. If they're on the shelf buy them. Quit feeding the trolls. Grow a set. Better yet, buy the mags... and then write to your senators and congressmen and be a part of th...

I think everyone is over reacting, but to each their own.

The mags are under $30. Worst case scenario, you have to turn in $90 worth of mags... not the end of the world.

I don't know much about it, but I drive past it 3-4 times a week. My GF lives down the street. I never hear any shooting. The place looks like a residence. It's a house that certainly appears to be inhabited. There are cars in the driveway and kids toys in the yard. The only thing that caught my at...

I found the following at http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-4.pdf : "Where a person purchases a firearm with the intent of making a gift of the firearm to another person, the person making the purchase is indeed the true purchaser. There is no straw purchaser in these instan...

Nepaug State forest is full of trails and there's always trucks in there. I'm not sure why an exception is made there but it appears to be legal. Search for it on some 4x4 forums. I think there are even trail maps out there. Its because those "trails" are acutally mapped fire roads. If yo...

Two, very easy to explain, reasons... WALNUT (not beech), full length, Mannlicher stock TALO limited edition If you want a cheap 10/22, stop looking at the most expensive one in the lineup. The two things above are adding almost $200 to the price of a base 10/22. If you like the Mannlicher stock, bu...

Center Sports has always catered to shot shell reloaders. I know I've see multiple types of poweder in stock in large containers. They always have tons of wads, primers, and shot as well.

If that's the Shadow I think it is... the only thing that wasn't done is the hammer. Whoever did the trigger dis a great job and I'm pretty sure they remembered to do the guide rod.

That thing was a great deal.

Here's the trigger you want...

Meriden Rod and Gun defines "rapid" as anything faster than one shot every 8 seconds... Dumbest thing I've ever heard, but that's what is printed on their range rules. (I take that back... that's not the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Hell, that's not even close to the dumbest thing I've h...

My father has been a member for 20+ years, but I tend to steer clear of the place. I'll occationally go with him to fish in the bathtub sized pond, but that's about it. The facility is decent, but the members keep me away. I've seen way too much shady stuff go on there. Call a spade a spade and re-n...
