    Suppressors Blade Length Limitations in TX, AZ, NV, FL, CA?

    Re: Blade Length Limitations in TX, AZ, NV, FL, CA For Florida, I do not see a blade length mentioned in the Statues. "Common pocket-knives" are allowed. Length must be established by some court-case precedent, but I am no lawyer. BTW, the concealed carry weapons permit for Florida includes...

    Gunsmithing Brake removal

    I just read in the NRA High Power rulebook that muzzle brakes are not allowed. I was wanting a GAP build with a nice brake on it. My question is with the Badger FTE brake (or others), can they be removed for matches that do not allow it and re-threaded afterwards by the end user without much...

    I currently use the Redding competition seater die, but I currently do not have any gages to measure runout. I have had my eye on the Hornady Ammunition Concentricity Gage, but I called Hornady yesterday and they said it will not be released until July, 2009. It is the only gage I have seen...

    Dream build question: Single Action vs Repeater

    I am dreaming of a new custom build from some place like GAP or Surgeon. Most of my shooting time is on targets, with 300M up to 1000M ranges available to me. But, a gun for pure target shooting is not my cup of tea. If I am going to gain proficiency with it, I must also be able to hunt well...
