As stated many times before: Gary, you have the coolest guns.

Because they cannot fit into anything else!!!! The doors for gyms are one-size-fits all.

THIS. It's dumb seeing a stand-up company get shit on because of ridiculous circumstances. And I also agree with the "more the merrier" posts. The safety lever has had many different fixes and solutions to make it more user-friendly, but it would be hard to beat a factory left side.

lots of Calico guns still kicking around huh? not that this whole thing isn't DUMB, but they're wanting to ban those along with other guns that are not even manufactured anymore?!? (SPAS12) really...?

I also had the idea of removing the firing pin. Not sure how it's going to work out, but the ATF agent told the mom to do whatever she could (including getting a copy of the police report and guilt tripping the gun store) into accepting a return. She also has a backup plan of selling the gun to a neighbor. Something dumb that I didn't even think to ask until a day or 2 later was if she had bought any ammunition. Turns out she DID, and it was blanks.

She's the kind of person who, when faced with the problem of: not being able to find a knife to cut herself with, came up with the solution: bust out a window and make a knife out of glass.

Appreciated. Latest update: Local ATF branch did agree that While Marijuana is illegal on a Federal level, she "technically didn't lie" because she was lawfully using the drug per State regs. Basically said that they would be hard pressed to make an issue out of it, IF they even had the manpower to go forward with investigating this further in the first place. Section 11.f: She was committed as a minor, so that information is sealed. Her therapist felt she was stable enough in the recent past to have taken her off the meds, which doesn't matter anyway because apparently that informati

After some convincing, finally got the mom to call. She's the kind of person who wanted to wash her hands and say "I didn't do anything to get my child in trouble". She called the hotline, they gave her the number for the local atf office. The conversation she says she had wasn't very productive (IMHO), but it's better than nothing. Apparently the daughter now has a file and it'll be harder for her to obtain a firearm, but no charges or anything of the like will happen. Seems like they only want the big fish, hopefully she doesn't grow into one. I applauded her and thanked her for finally "get

HAH! Joking aside, I think it's a mental health issue first. If she was in a nuthouse where she belongs, she wouldn't have been able to go to a gun store... or steal one... or straw purchase one

I did mean 4473. Sorry for the confusion.

I just convinced the mom to call the ATF hotline.

Is there a way to report someone for lying on an ATF1140 purchase form? An insane family member of mine (with a documented history of hospitalization for mental illness) has been arguing with her mother pretty intensely for a few months. She's made it very open that she wants to kill her mom, posted on Facebook that she wanted a gun, and today has finally taken steps forward. She went to a gun store, filled out the 1140 form for OTC sales, SOMEHOW didn't get flagged, and now she has a gun. Police were called, they said they can't do anything. Her mom called again, so the cops showed up, a

Heres the first before and after. The far right was missing parts, had a bent muzzle, and lots of pitting towards the muzzle. I managed to find the obscure parts, and hack the barrel back. Seems to be a good shooter. So far I've managed to get a lucky shot (downed a crow), and ran up on a squirrel. Not the best tool for the job, but it goes bang and looks cool for a nearly 100 year old gun. This is the re-finished version of the top gun in the second picture. As seen earlier in the thread, I had to shim the barrel. It also had mismatching stock colors. I fixed and cleaned the in

Good, bad or indifferent, what happens in your house is YOUR business. Bite your tongue at the inlaws house (if that visit happens anymore), but stand your ground in your own, which it sounds like is the case. Keep up the good work protecting your own, even if it means pointing out the white elephant.

What I've learned from TV: Drawing and doing a full-back tattoo takes 30 minutes, building a one-off hotrod takes 6 hours, there's no ATF wait for a custom NFA shotgun, Every celebrity knows how to dance, a Colt Python is the best weapon for zombies, bigfoot/nessie/mothman is real, and Hitler lived.

I wouldn't want the responsibility police officers carry... especially in modern times. Although they do choose their own profession.

I went out deer hunting this morning. There seemed to be a lot of tracks, beds, and Turkey, but no deer. On my way out of the field I noticed about 30 geese in a separate field behind my parents house and decided to try out my snow-ninja skills. I drove down to their house, popped my mag open and installed my waterfowl plug, grabbed a few goose-loads and crept out into the field. There was ZERO cover, and I was wearing green camouflage (again, the field was covered in about 6" of snow), so this was a scenario with a LOT of wishful thinking. I got about 50 yards from the group and about 10 of t

probably dirt-cheap too

+1 also found a roach when I got my 85 z-28

Handmade gun-metal barrel Ring individually cut from a recycled shotgun barrel. The inside and side surfaces are then polished to a nearly mirror finish. The outside is lightly buffed to remove any oxidation, but natural pitting and gun metal character will remain. Perfect gift for hunters, target shooters, outdoorsmen/women, or anyone who wants a high quality piece of jewelry that tells a story. Comes with a presentation box and card. Card displays the model of gun the ring originated from, gauge of firearm, and size of ring. Width of band is approximately 8mm. I can size this ring 8.5

Every time I see someone put the effort into making a case like that, I'm never unimpressed.

kinda resembles a milled receiver stock attachment point

So on the first shotgun, I bonded the shim to the barrel. I clamped a drill bit into the recess to hold the shape of the shim tight against the barrel. This seemed like a good idea until I let it dry and realized I had also bonded the drill bit to the barrel. I cleaned everything off and got a good clean surface again, and re-bonded, this time with a dowel filling the gap. I let it dry a few days, then filed away the excess. After cleaning up my new pivot point, I started fitting the barrel to the receiver and it was loose again. I'm not sure if it wasn't prepped/cleaned thoroughly enough, o

Never tried boiling them... usually "my friend" shaves and get the shampoo

Update: First shotgun disassembled (grinded a 1/4" drive flat-bit down to remove the screws). Sanded and retained the stocks, now they match a lot better (pics to come). Planning on shimming the hinge sometime this week. I found a permatex equivalent and some inexpensive feeler gauges to re-purpose at the local auto parts store. Started on the second 12 as well. It locked up tight so I think no shimming will be required. The barrel had a lot of surface rust in the breech, as well as some pitting down the barrel. I decided this one would be the sacrificial lamb of the bunch. I hacked the b
