Worse than Crossroads, smaller than a Mesa gun show.

Re: Time to tell the doctor to shove it...they are retrying to make guns a healthcare issue again

How about you just don't answer...seems pretty easy, nothing to get your panties in a bunch over.

Someone posts a story about ONE health care group (that none of us use) that asks a simple question, and everyone freaks out. Then someone backs it up with a story from 8 years ago.

Re: Commiefornia passes new noise pollution tax on firearms

This kind of bullshit is exactly why April 1st is the WORST DAY IN THE FIREARMS INDUSTRY. Some idiot is going to think this is real. SB 1253 would prohibit an individual in California from possessing a firearm without a valid Firearm Safety Card. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20240329/california-t...

Traded on the NYSE, VSTO.

I bought into Vista back in 2019, and I’m up 302% since. It’s been a fantastic stock for me. Covid was awesome.

Re: The coming powder shortage

The main factor in "shortages" is forum topics exactly like this one. Remember the 22lr shortage? It happened mainly because people read on some forum that there was a shortage (there wasn't), and then they rushed out to buy as much 22lr as they could find. The next guy sees some empty she...

Are you talking about the phone app? Or the on-device menus?

I'm waiting for Applied Ballistics or even Garmin to come out with an integrated ballistics app.

I have one of those, too. It's a great case. Don't see why Garmin can't throw one of those in the box...it's $7.84.

Re: Question for Labradar Owners

I dont think anyone buying labradars anymore, they are screwed. I upgraded from my magneto speed setup to garmin. Had to buy a cheap case for it on Amazon. Lot's of Magnetospeeds and Lab Radars in the EE section of ARFCOM. I was lucky enough to dump my Magnetospeed quickly so I could grab the Garmi...

Re: Question for Labradar Owners

I would ad, if you can wait for a bit longer, Caldwell is coming out with a radar style device similar to the Labradar, but it will calculate your BC for you. As QuietM4 says, muzzle velocity is what most of us focus on, but for us geeks who like additional data the radar style chrono gives it to u...

Re: Question for Labradar Owners

Garmin. I don’t know why anyone would ever consider a Lab Radar. Unless you are a ballistician working on a doctoral thesis, the extra data really doesn’t help you in a meaningful way. Knowing the BC with data you gathered out to 100 yards may increase your accuracy, but now by any meaningful number...

It's only confusing if you don't ask questions.

First and last name, city and state. That is all that is required.

Re: Engraving ambiguity for Form1

You are absolutely legally required to engrave the new manufacturer information on the receiver (e.g. your name and location...whatever is listed in Box 3a of your approved Form 1). On my recently approved Form1s, box 3a is blank. 3b, d, e, f have my personal info. Boxes 4a, d, g have the original ...

Re: Engraving ambiguity for Form1

Ugh…. Guess I need to read some more before I start engraving. Luckily I’ve got a neighbor that can laser-engrave and mill metal so if I do need to do it I can have him knock it out for me in just a few minutes. It has to be engraved to a certain character height and depth, legally. ATF has strict ...

Re: Engraving ambiguity for Form1

I’m not sure I have an answer, but I just did my first SBR Form-1 about a week ago. I sent Silencer Shop the picture of my lower that I’ve had about ten years. They filled out the Form-1 then emailed me a few days later to certify it with ATF. Nothing was added. Just my branded and serialized lower...

Re: Engraving ambiguity for Form1

It's not ambiguous at all. ATF Form 1 is titled 'Application to Make and Register a Firearm'. YOU are the manufacturer of the new NFA item, and as such are legally required to engrave your manufacturing information on the firearm receiver. It's pretty simple. Your name (or the legal entity that regi...
