      Divorce and pellet guns

      Hi all, I've been MIA for months due to a bitter divorce I'm going through. You'll likely still see me at MSI events. I have a few pellet guns + various pellets that need a new home, maybe one of you has a kid who could appreciate them more than me. Pickup in Catonsville area, post below if...

      Worn VZ-58 Striker

      Found this while tearing down and cleaning for a shoot tomorrow - looks like it's safe enough to send it, right? Should I even care enough to order a spare, or am I overthinking it?

      Testimony from 2020/21 on Google, with names

      If you testified in Annapolis in the last two years - Google your name. Mine brings up multiple testimonies I've written with my name on them, with a URL similar to this: www.mgaleg.maryland.gov/cmte_testimony/2020/jpr/my-filename-was-here-please-stop-clicking-the-link Any ideas on how...

      Flash can only gets part way down threads

      Bought a 9mm upper recently, the seller thought it had a 1/2 x 36 thread. Just tried to put a 1/2 x 36 flash can on it, and it only goes on a few full rotations before it binds up. I tried cleaning the threads (they were a little dirty) with ballistol, that didn't seem to help. What does this...

      Any shows selling AK parts kits?

      I'm looking at AKM parts kits and 80%'s online and the prices are absurd. Even the cheapo unproven slavakian parts kits are double the price GOOD parts kits were pre COVID. I've been to the Gettysburg gun show and the Frederick gun show in the last year, neither had what I wanted. Curious if...

      How to hack Democrat/MDA phone services

      I've hijacked Mom's Demand Action's text service - whenever they offer to hook me up with my Senator on one of their phonecall campaigns, I accept the call and tell my Senator to do the opposite of what MDA told me to. Today they wanted me to tell Ben Cardin to vote on background check...

      Spooky ghosty gun

      Like I said in the title, check out my first (functional) 3D printed ghosty-gun. The slide is a .22 conversion kit that fits on my printed Glock 19. Thanks to our last private meeting with friends (thanks @welder516) before the long gun transfer law went through - I was able to source all of...

      EVERYTOWN mobilizing on new police bill

      Just got this text from them (monitoring their movement to help us). I have no idea why police reform would benefit them but maybe we should organize our own if it somehow hurts gun ownership?

      Removing washer + installing gas block

      I'm replacing the gas block on an AR-10 I bought. There's a washer beneath the threads that doesn't want to come off. If I've learned anything it's don't force things - especially since it could damage threads. Is this a common issue? How would you recommend removing it? Once I have it off...

      MSP now saying all lowers require 77r??

      I just got a call from my FFL that when they asked MSP if an AR-10 lower requires a 77r, the MSP responded with this (attached). This can't be right; anyone have input on fighting this?

      Help with extra BCG sent in mail

      I ordered a new chrome BCG from Young Manufacturing last week. There was a mess up on their end, and they possibly billed/shipped 2 BCGs. It should arrive in the next day or so. I've seen online reviews where they measure how close a part is to mil-spec and occasionally there will be defects...

      NY, CA, 16 state AGs sue ATF over 80% lowers

      Delete if this is a duplicate, but I'm not seeing anyone else posting about it. Looks like our buddy Frosh has joined forces in a new lawsuit against the ATF. https://youtu.be/i7Wh6aVjt80

      Front detent pin not going in all of the way

      I can't tell if this is a problem with the LPK or the lower. When I put the front detent pin/spring in, it's not going in far enough to put the front takedown pin in. My last and final attempt sent one of my pins flying across the room. To be consistent, I tried the rear side as well, it appears...

      Help pricing out spikes 9mm upper

      I have a 9mm lower from spikes, I figured I'd finish it with their 5.5" 9mm upper for reliability/completeness. They're backordered 8 months out so I figured I'll be able to afford it then. The bill is coming out to $940 + $22 freight, which seems a little steep to me. Is it worth the price...

      AR-9 / AR-22 compatibility

      I have a few pistol builds in mind and I'm trying to focus in on complete uppers right now, focusing on .22, 5.56, and 9mm. For .22/9mm I'm looking at lengths ideal to stay subsonic. For a .22 caliber AR that means a barrel length of 4.5", for a 9mm that means a barrel length of 5.5". Because...

      AR pistol questions

      I'm in the process of buying stripped lowers to insure I'll have builds to work on regardless of what happens in Annapolis; I have a few questions: - Since guns built into pistols can then alternate between being a pistol and rifle, if I had an AR-9 lower and an AR-15 lower, could I build out...
