    50bmg steel

    Awesome, I appreciate the input. Based on Energy estimates in my calculator it does look like 3/8" should withstand at the least 1000+ as that is when energy is equivalent to some of the ranges I've shot 3/8" with my 338lm... I was just worried that mild steel core would add an extra umph...

    50bmg steel

    do you have experience with shooting 50bmg ball at 3/8 ar500 past 1000 yards or is this a guess? I'm guessing past 1200 yards or so it won't damage, but I wanted to see if others had actual experience seeing it not put any marks in the steel.

    50bmg steel

    I have 3/4" ar500 that I've used for 300-600 yards successfully when toying with my 50bmg. It takes the hits without a mark except for the edge shots obviously. My friend wants to try his 50bmg out at longer ranges and that target is too small. We will be using ball ammo (So that means even...

    Not sure if it's supposed to be a gotchya, but hell yea! Benelli is opinions from people that may have deep knowledge of the exact brand, while you guys are more aligned with my goals and I am a much more avid poster on here. Got some good info here and got some different good info there! But...

    Benelli M4 Accuracy expectations

    OK guys, I put on a cylinder choke and it did do a little better. 25 yds with the LE is about 8.5" at it's widest and 50yds is about 17" or so. (all 3 round groups). I am using stock ghost sites and it's me shooting seated at a table with the shotgun in my arms. It's not in a vice. At 25...

    Benelli M4 Accuracy expectations

    I just bought and shot my Benelli M4 LE 11715 for the first time. I used Federal LE Flight control 00 with expectations that this will be my primary defense load, and tried out Lambro & Sterling buckshot as well for my plinking ammo. The good new is that it ate everything without a hiccup. The...

    Firearms WTS-Benelli M4 with upgrades

    Estimated round count and age? Which model was it originally before modification? Were the mods done in an 922r compliant way? (so there should be a few other mods not listed then) Does it come with the original parts that were replaced? Thanks

    Accessories Hornady 285gr 338lm match ammo - 285 gr ELD 338 Lapua Magnum

    No one needed it 2 years ago, so I just figured I would keep it for my own backups. But if you want it, it is still available!

    Private party NFA transfers

    I appreciate everyone's responses but I'm not sure why everyone is getting worked up. I'm overall ok with doing a private party transaction. It will likely be face to face too, which is another level of protection. I get that there is a 99%+ chance everything will go smoothly. But I've done all...

    Private party NFA transfers

    I know the simplest thing to do is just buy from a trusted dealer. But thats not the question. The seller has the MG registered as an individual, so any trust work is no longer an option. I think I've got a new idea. What if I pay the seller for the rifle, send the form 4, take off all the...

    Private party NFA transfers

    Where do you see him make that claim? From my reading of his page, here is an exact quote about the new changes: "1. “Responsible persons” must complete a specified form and submit fingerprints and photographs when the trust makes or acquires an NFA firearm" Notice my bold emphasis. Seems...

    Private party NFA transfers

    Just spitballing here, but I think a way to get around this is by him adding me as a trustee, removing himself from being a trustee and then lastly adding an amendment to change the trust from revocable to irrevocable. Once it is irrevocable, he can no longer change the trust (so cannot remove...

    Private party NFA transfers

    Good point. Makes the case for putting it in a new trust asap even stronger. It sounds like the worst case scenario is where I pay them, they add me as a trustee and then sometime before the transfer goes through, they use their power as Settlor to remove me. Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried...

    Private party NFA transfers

    Awesome. This makes things ALOT easier. I think I will still end up transfering from the original trust to a new trust, as it makes things clearer and on an expensive item like a MG, $200 is worth it in case there are any issues down the line (everything from selling it to passing it down). But...

    Private party NFA transfers

    This obviously sounds like THE BEST way to do things. The logic you use for why it shouldn't be illegal also sounds bulletproof. However, any time I have seen the topic come up on forums there is always a ton of people saying it's illegal and tax evasion. Since I'm not a lawyer, that has me...

    Private party NFA transfers

    This is regarding in-state NFA transfers (Arizona). I know that technically all you have to do to do for a private party transfer is a form 4. The issue is that you are stuck in a limbo state where for a year the seller has both the item and the money or the seller has to trust a stranger will...
