I'm moving to Fairfax next month and am looking for advice on places to shoot. I know the NRA range is close, but it doesn't fit well with what I like to shoot. I'd like to be able to shoot my machine guns and do long range shooting as well. Being able to shoot steel is a big bonus.
Any...
I know that an electronically controlled trigger is a no-go on a semi-auto because the possibility exists of the firearms technology branch of the ATF messing with the electronics until it fires continuously.
Anyone care to speculate on a registered MG being re-fit with an electronic trigger? I...
I'm filling out the MG initial registration form. Under the section of the "Previous Owner" is that the FFL SOT that is currently in possession of the MG or the previous individual who owned it (in this case from another state)?
If the answer is the previous Form 4 owner, I don't have all the...
As most of you know, I enjoy building guns in my garage and have built many receivers pre-Oct 1.
Post Oct 1, I haven't built anything but would like to start a new project. Right now, I'm in research phase, but an AK-pistol is high on my list.
I'm considering doing something like a...
I want to have every type of NFA item, all I lack is a DD and an AOW. Any suggestions on interesting items in those categories?
I'm not interested in a pistol with a forward grip, or a shotgun AOW. I have decent machining capabilities, so be creative.
On the DD, I'm not interested in a...
I took off of work the week before Oct. 1 to finish the machining on my last "pre-ban" AR-15. Since then I've been finishing up the detail work: sanding, blasting, fitting tight parts, etc. It is now pretty much done, the jury is still out on the finish though. It's anodized, but with Ti you...
The MCX is high on my list of "do want" guns. The super short collapsable stock really appeals to me, seems like a much better alternative to a folding stock for a compact rifle.

I'm just starting to think about the possibility of getting into the MG world and am looking for advice from folks who have kept up with prices over the last few years. I want a M11/Nine for my first MG because of the Lage .22 conversion kit. I can buy one right now at their average price of...
This really irritates me:

Dude goes to Walmart and cleans them out of ammo so that he can resell to people who would have walked into that Walmart looking for ammo. No value added whatsoever just looking to make a buck on his fellow...
I think I'm finally done with my precision rifle thanks to picking up the final piece at 2A on Monday.
Mark usually stocks nearly everything to build this gun, last time I was there he was out of the Vortex's, but had some NightForces!! :party29:
I find it exceedingly satisfying that one can...
I'm going to keep fighting to get SB281 etc. killed. However, in the mean time I'm preparing for the worst.
Hot off the waterjet: 18 "0%" lowers like the one in my avatar made out of 7075 aluminum. Programing the CNC up right now to start turning them out. My CNC is small and slow so this...
Raskin played chess. I edited a how to make silencer video on my iPhone while in the overflow room watching the pro-281 folks preach, I mean testify.
Here it is:
At least some good came out of that long hour :-)

I just got my 9mm lee loadmaster setup and I have everything working except for the resizing die. It seems like it takes more force than it should to fully seat the brass in the decapping/resizing die. It also takes "too much" force to get the brass out on the down stroke.
I say "too much"...
I've been reading up on the law regarding MD's 7 day wait. As I understand it an individual may transfer legally a regulated firearm after 7 days if he has not heard a "disapproved" from MSP. However, in reading the forums, it is understood that a FFL can not due to the MSP providing the NICS...
Do I need to go through the MSP to do this? I'm about to SBR an existing AR rifle. Do I have to go through the MSP in order to transfer the AR from myself to my trust? If so, who holds it for the 7 days? :-)

I just took the muzzle cap off of a couple new VEPR's from the CenterFire Systems sale. The previous pictures I've seen have a pinned cap and the pin goes through the threads. On the new ones, the pin goes into the barrel below the threads and the threads are still 100% intact. I wish I'd seen...
Magpul MOE fixed rifle stock review.
I just received my Magpul MOE rifle stock. I've been eyeing the UBR for a long time but couldn't ever justify the expense. Then this thing came along and I bought one to try out. I'm very happy with it. It's extremely solid, much more so than the MOE carbine...
I wanted a case that I could fit everything needed for a 3 gun match. To that end I bought a pelican 1740 and built some gun racks to fit inside the case out of PVC board I found a Lowe's. I choose PVC because plastic glues better to plastic and I didn't want to put screws into the case and void...
Have ya'll seen the NSN chin stock at www.halix.co (yes .co)? The YouTube videos claim it just as good or better then an SBR'd AR-15 since you "don't have to bother seating the stock in your shoulder". Seems like it would hurt your jaw muscles / joints, but a woman with TMJ claims it does no...
