    eForm 1 SBR question

    I efiled my first Form 1 for a SBR the other day. When I received my CLEO and coversheet paperwork, I noticed that my photo is rotated 90 degrees--it shows up properly in the workflow, but I wasn't able to view the completed form until after submitting. Is this going to cause a rejection or...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I've been reading similar all over the internets......I just completed my first F1 paperwork (SBR, filed as individual) last night and I'll be mailing my fingerprint cards today on my lunch break. One thing I haven't been able to find--are F1 suppressors being treated the same way as SBRs or...

    Lefty triggers

    I've got a Timney The Hit lefty on my B14R and a Timney Calvin Elite lefty on my R700 centerfire. Easy installation and both work well for my needs. They're both single stage--that's what I prefer, and I never shopped around for anything else. I wish you luck finding the 2 stage you...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I'm at day 102, and I'm also impatient. I bought 7/4/22 and certified 7/7/22. Calling your rep isn't going to change anything as THOUSANDS of people are in front of us--most have been waiting even longer. Believe it or not, but if SS and my dealer had been more realistic about the expected...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    I posted about the loss of my best buddy Hades a few months ago. In my grief, I failed to mention that we also have a female GSD. We got her about a year before Hades passed. Nyx isn't as big, beautiful, or as smart as Hades was, but she's also turned out to be one helluva good dog. She's...

    How good can you shoot CCI SV?

    I downloaded the circle dots from Arfcom. I made the diamonds during a really boring work meeting. PM me your email and I'll send you the PDFs....but you have to understand that 25 yards isn't challenging to some of this group, and you have to shoot at 100+ to be taken seriously. :cool:

    How good can you shoot CCI SV?

    This was CCI SV at 25 yards out of my B14R. It's a clean 25/25 (and if we're counting 3x on each sighter at the bottom, it scores 39/25) The game is that if the bullet cuts the black into the center (.020") it's a 'tack driven'. I had a couple that barely made it. Switched out to SK Standard...

    I had a part time job for about 2 weeks with Bristol Bay Contractors. I was a dock worker unloading the fishing boats. I was stationed at King Salmon and I had some use or lose leave. I took a couple of weeks off and took advantage of the $20/hr BBC was paying....kind of a big deal for an...

    Never been to the one in Juneau but I spent a lot of money at the one in Naknek.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Not exactly. I'm retired military, have dealt with the VA, been audited by the IRS, worked for DOJ, and I'm currently a contractor with another .gov agency. I know firsthand that everything the .gov touches is going to be a clusterfuck. The only question is how big the clusterfuck will...

    First can--impulse buy. Q Erector 22. Wish I had gone with a Mask now, but <shrug> Purchased on Independence Day 7/4/2022 and efiled using the Silencershop kiosk thingey on a Single Shot Trust. Certified 7/12/2022. so that puts me at......day 96. Everything I'm reading says that I'll be...

    Low cantilever mount for bolt action

    Looks like you found a solution. I'm using the same scope on a 10/22. It's not the best glass I've ever used, but I do think it's perfectly suited to .22LR. The only problem I have with it is that the short body doesn't have much real estate for the rings and I completely understand how you...

    Odds of getting a B14r with FTEX and FTEJ issues

    My sample of 1 has not had a single failure to feed or extract that wasn't magazine related in over 2K rounds. I bought a lefty model as soon as it came out. One of my magazines had a tight spot that wasn't letting the follower move freely. A few minutes with 400 grit sandpaper wrapped around...

    Why is it always pitt bulls?

    I never said otherwise! The Nature vs Nurture argument isn't something that I ignore. Without proper training (positive role models, father figures, consequences for undesirable behavior) we humans really aren't terribly different from any other predatory animal. I know that under a...

    Why is it always pitt bulls?

    Nah--it's cool! I enjoy the discussion, and for the record, I actually do believe that 80% of it is the dog's upbringing.....it's the other 20% that keeps me on my toes around certain breeds more than others. I'm a dog person and I've been nipped bit by plenty. Cocker spaniels, labs...

    Why is it always pitt bulls?

    Sir, I'm going to disagree with you--and your straw man argument doesn't hold water with me. We all have firearms, and they're inanimate objects until we make something happen. Dogs think and act on their own volition. Most breeds are predisposed to act a certain way because it's in their...

    Why is it always pitt bulls?

    Pits are NOT just like any other dog. Shepherds, pointers, retrievers--even rat terriers were all specially bred to do what they do, and most examples will herd/point/retrieve (somewhat) without any special training. Pits were bred to be aggressive. I can't believe people are surprised when...
