      Transferring C&R Firearms to Immediate Family Member - Options?

      So I can't find clear information on what the carve-outs are in the MD ban on private transfers for C&Rs other than if it is an unregulated C&R long gun, it can be transferred between two MD C&Rs according to the normal rules (ledger entry, etc.), and that it is probably (but not explicitly)...

      IMI JERICHO 941F-ISRAELI POLICE TRADE IN

      Ladies and gents, the issue has been fixed and Marylanders may now procure appropriate equipment for chasing down those elusive Syndicate bounties on Ganymede. Big thanks to Atlantic for fixing the issue with checkout and very much looking forward to my 941.

      IMI JERICHO 941F-ISRAELI POLICE TRADE IN

      Been trying to get one of these OG 941 trade-ins for years now. Atlantic's check out system is saying they're prohibited in "my" (our) state. BS. They've been on the MSP handgun roster for years now and all they need to do is ship without the mag like they do everything else that comes standard...

      Gunsmith Recommendation for G98 rebarrel?

      So I just got a pretty nice mostly-matching Gewehr 98 on GB, sadly the original barrel has been chopped down. I've ordered a new 29" military profile chrome moly barrel from Lothar Walther. Does anyone have a gunsmith to recommend who can competently install a new barrel in a 98 action? Major...

      Punched/Peened in Screw on SMLE - Ideas?

      Yes, I'm quickly learning that the SMLE is probably the most over-engineered military bolt gun in history, particularly between the finicky safety, the spring-floated pencil barrel, and the half-cock "feature" which seems to be at the root of a lot of FCG problems. I guess that's part of the fun...

      Punched/Peened in Screw on SMLE - Ideas?

      Nah, it was from an estate (about as as-is as it gets) and I got a very decent price for an all matching rifle ($450, nothing like the 'old days' but I missed that boat). I don't mind if it needs some mechanical TLC, in fact I'm honestly so into the SMLE right now I'm enjoying it as a learning...

      Punched/Peened in Screw on SMLE - Ideas?

      I managed to get the screw in question out as well as another staked screw on the trigger guard using a combination of the screwdriver tapping method you guys described and ballistol as a penetrating oil (I already intended to wipe everything down with ballistol). Cleaned everything up and I'm...

      Definitely will try this when I get home.

      Punched/Peened in Screw on SMLE - Ideas?

      Thanks for this, having the right term turned up a lot of threads on this, including one I'm reading now about the exact same screw on a SMLE. Seems like roll the dice with an impact drill, then if and when you strip the screw break out the easy-out. Looks like I better order that replacement...

      Punched/Peened in Screw on SMLE - Ideas?

      I don't think so. I did manage to find a google image of the exact same thing on another SMLE though, so perhaps it was done sometimes as part of the Factory Through Repairs (the rifle is FTR marked). I can't imagine why, though, since removing the nose cap is the first step in disassembling the...

      Punched/Peened in Screw on SMLE - Ideas?

      Hello all, I rolled the dice on a SMLE on Gunbroker being sold from an estate. The good news is I seem to have lucked out and ended up with an all matching 1918 Enfield with a decent amount of original finish left and a remarkably shiny bore. It's got a lot of dust and grime, though, so I...
