    Fastest Military Crimp Removal

    I've had the best luck with my press mounted RCBS swager. I put a thick washer over the ram to 'pop' the swaged case off the peg on the down stroke. Everyone has their favorite methods, and this is mine due to the ease of set-up and use. I don't like removing material when I don't have to and...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    I harvested a big bull moose out around King Salmon, AK in 1992. I did a poacher's cut--got the backstraps, tenderloins and one hindquarter. Couldn't fit any more on the ATC. I went about 50 miles back to base as fast as I could--dropped something like 200 lbs of meat with my roommate to...

    KRG Bravo 10/22 chassis loose fit?

    Follow the instructions from KRG! I'm just a random guy on the internet and I'd hate to hear that you broke something on my advice. I upped the torque to make the barreled action a little tighter but I can't say for sure if it improved anything other than my own desire to have it a little...

    KRG Bravo 10/22 chassis loose fit?

    The folks at KRG answered my email and said that if it shoots good, it's not an issue. The barrel still moves around more than my other 10/22s do. Both of them are in Victor Titan stocks with spike anchors--with the KRG chassis (ans swapping out the KSA for a VQ carbon fiber barrel), this one...

    Maggie’s SH Motorcycle Thread

    We had our annual Polar Bear Run yesterday--what a great way to start the new year! It wasn't much of a 'polar' ride as the high temp yesterday was 72 degrees. The ride was sponsored by one of our local HD dealerships--they only expected about 15 to show up......our group was 28 and 3 other...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    After my boy Hades passed in his sleep 6 months ago, I guess I've been moping around more than I thought I was. Unbeknownst to me--but knownst to everyone else in the family--my incredible woman set me up on a play date with this little guy yesterday. 'Hide, meet Soldier. Soldier, these are...

    1st Efile Approval

    I didn't use any pre-made parts, so that probably helped. I clicked 'submit' on Dec 7th, 2022. Mailed my prints on Dec 8th and they arrived at ATF on Dec 12th. The approval email was sent at 6:06 AM on Dec 17th, 2022. (last Saturday) These are the pics I sent--I put on the application that...

    1st Efile Approval

    I'm sitting on Day 164 of my eForm 4. <grumpy> To take my mind off it, I submitted a couple of eForm 1s--both of those managed to get approved quickly. (SBR took 15 days and home made can took 11 days). It's the same background check, the same verifications......I'm wondering howinthehell it...

    Lost my loyal friend Kojak this evening

    Rest in peace Kojak. I lost my best friend and companion Hades 6 months ago and I'm still grieving. I hope you're handling it better than I did. You have my sincere condolences for your loss.

    Form 1 engraving photo issue

    I had the same question on my first F1. (also an AR pistol to SBR) None of my pics were in the CLEO copy, and my selfie pic was also sideways. It was approved in 9 days.

    Yugo M70 won’t feed HP reliably

    I had the same problem on my Century M70 u/f. I got it to run by welding up the magazine catch so it was about 1/10" longer.

    eForm 1 SBR question

    @cjs88 I've been a member here for close to 20 years and you're the first one to ask about it! I'm a retired USAF E7 and I was commissioned a Kentucky Colonel by Governor Paul Patton in 2003. Being a Kentucky Colonel means nothing other than somebody once thought I was a good enough person...

    eForm 1 SBR question

    That was my very first F1.....and personally, I think this is pretty fucking stupid since the lower receiver is the only registered part....but you're absolutely right. If you already have an approved tax stamp from the ATF then you can simply send a letter to the ATF describing which uppers...

    eForm 1 SBR question

    Yessir, engrave after approval. No point in the engraving if the application gets denied. Just don't put it into SBR configuration until you have all the ducks lined up. It's easy when SBR'ing an AR. F1 approved and stamp in hand. Engrave. Remove stupid brace and install proper stock/swap...

    eForm 1 SBR question

    It's a surprisingly easy process. It's kind of like registering your first used car at the DMV......but a longer wait. You need to have all your information right before you get an approval but after you've done it once, the process makes more sense. Log into eForms, fill out the form. Some...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Notice that she uses PhD in her profile. She's probably like 90% of the head shrinkers out there and got into psychology to self-diagnose. ETA: Ahhhh--I don't do Twitter and didn't realize that she's just trolling. I guess I've seen too many fucked up posts for something that ridiculous to...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    That's why I filed my F1 SBR two weeks ago. I didn't want to get caught in another ATF clusterfuck. If the brace ban doesn't happen......cool. I'll still have a SBR :cool: ETA: Holy shit!!! eForm 1 was submitted 11/15/2022. Prints were mailed 11/16/2022 and received at ATF on...

    Accessible Dope Cards while Shooting

    I have cards that I velcro to the rifle that are specific to conditions (temperature) and various loads. But I also have this for a drop Quick Reference Guide.

    Who plays guitar

    I'm another hack. I like to pick, but I wouldn't say that I play. (I traded a hunting knife for my first guitar on a C-130 on my way to Desert Storm) I also like to tinker, so I picked up this Tele kit. The neck and all the guts it came with are fucking garbage so I bought a nice Warmoth...
