The way the press release reads is "the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives received information from the New York State Police that Parker may have purchased a noncompliant AR-15 style rifle in North Carolina." Now, how the NYSP came by this information and came to believe...

Probably a private, non-dealer purchase. I spend some time in NC and private sales seem to be pretty casual. Or so I hear. But dealers don't play. An out of state resident is not going to be able to buy any kind of gun from a NC dealer to just take home. Not if the dealer wants to remain a...

You gotta get out to the range, Corgi. A lotta guys counting on ya now. No pressure, man, no worries. :ROFL:

I read about and tried the Shok Buff route and all it seemed to do was shorten the travel of the operating rod / bolt and didn't allow for consistent lock back on an empty mag. Still had the failure to eject problem and the buffs didn't last long. Honestly, I never realized the gas port was the...

^^^^ Thanks. I checked that site, too. Interesting that one of their sales points is less slamming of the action. If 25 bucks cures this I may re-think actually using the gun. I hate spending money above and beyond the initial cost just to make a gun usable but this might be money well spent...

I had a friend who had a big Lab he called Bear. One day I understood.

@ArmedCorgi A range report will be greatly appreciated. I have a 583 also and have two issues with it. First, the slam of the bolt / operating rod is brutal on optics. I put a 1x4 on it and it crapped out (windage adjustment locked up). Okay, bad scope, send it back. Replacement lasted not...

Never happen. Food. Water. Electricity. Even Dumbocrats are smart enough to figure that out.

Nah, Ford has retired from the field. She got her million bucks in GoFundMe money and is done. They'll have to find a former altar boy that Barrett molested during catechism class.

Yes, Barrett is the logical choice. But certainly no smooth confirmation. Let me clarify a bit. Should have said not JUST protests, demonstrations, and marches. There would be all of those but, given the climate of today and the willingness of leftists to rage, I believe these would lead to...

She will not retire as long as Trump, or any conservative, is in office. She had a chance for Obama to replace her with another liberal and should have taken it but her hubris got the best of her. As an aside -- if Trump were to be able to replace a liberal justice there would be riots. Not...

Like this?........... We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten Colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back Of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up, And Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten...

Lol - they are ALL more accurate than I am. And I know all about that justification thing. Good luck with your search.

He's a hero. And a martyr. You guys are just deplorable.

@john156cm You have already done what you really need to do. You have a gun and have been shooting in the appropriate division for that gun. USPSA has a division for virtually every style of gun. Even freaking pee-pee caliber rifles now. Anyone can just take whatever gun they like to shoot...

Years ago a buddy returned from R&R in Thailand with a small statue of two elephants. One appeared to be mounting the other one in a manner suggesting intercourse. Taken aback at what it depicted and wondering how & where he would display it back home I blurted out, "Jesus, Bill, what the hell...

Knowing that any situation will be fluid and impossible to plan for, I take the approach of "hardening" my castle. Put yourself in the shoes of the criminal visitor and I will give you a partial guided tour. The house is off the road a bit so I expect you will come in by way of the driveway or...

Keep in mind that all of this is predicated on whether you are using the iron sights or optics on a flat top receiver or optics on risers to see over the top of that stupid front sight tower. Height above the muzzle makes a big difference in your sight in distance if you are trying to keep the...

#MeToo is yesterday. Today is #NotMe.

LOL -- old school. I thought I was the only one still doing that. I use target pasters - cheap and handy.

What I read though was the charges were dismissed without prejudice, which means they can be re-filed. And, supposedly, the DA plans to do so. So they are not out of the woods yet.

In years gone by I had an FFL and did gun shows. Clayton was always on the list. As @dsdmmat said, a nice little show. A relaxing weekend always. It was at this show that I had a table one year next to a retiree from Syracuse named Richie who dealt in antique fishing lures and old hunting...

Funny that.

True this.. Have a friend who put a Glock 27 on the roof of his truck while loading some other stuff and then pulled out onto his country road to drive to his place of business 5 miles away. Got there and had the "oh shit". Zoomed back home, hoping it was in his driveway, only to find it still...

Ambassador Andrei Lysenko: There is another matter... one I'm reluctant to... Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Please. Ambassador Andrei Lysenko: One of our submarines, an Alfa, was last reported in the area of the Grand Banks. We have not heard from her for some time. Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Andrei, you've lost...

Pretty soon you will be so short you won't be able to see over the top of your boots. (Just a blast from your past for ya.)

Is the GP comparable to the 610?

What part of NC are you landing in? Eastern NC BBQ is very vinegary. NC sweet tea is 4 or more parts sugar to 1 part tea. Do not EVER suggest a better way of doing things. "Tumorruh" really means "We'll get to it someday." There exist still some pockets of resistance to the War of...

One final gloomy thought (I'm old and old people are allowed to be pessimistic and cranky). It would behoove us to to keep in mind that all of the names on President Trump's list are "establishment" types. They are members of the "elite". Otherwise their names would not be on the list. It is...

True, but.............. Rare is it that the Supreme Court will overturn a previous SC ruling (Heller). And it was none other than the revered Scalia that said “the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.” Who, then, will craft and impose these limits? Of course it will...

Not to be Debbie Downer but here is something to think about. Everyone on both sides of the issue is looking at Roe v. Wade as some sort of litmus test for this court appointment. The argument on the conservative side is this should not be something adjudicated at the federal level, but rather...

Ginsburg is a tough old bird. Don't count her out just yet. She goes to the gym regularly and there was a photo of her just this morning showing her doing the "plank". Obviously, she did that to show her followers that she is not going anywhere any time soon. In that same vein, I read an...

Your NY license is recognized by NC. Bringing guns into NC is not a problem. Follow the federal transport laws as you travel - in locked case, ammo separate. Friends and relatives tell me getting a concealed carry license is not a problem as NC is "shall issue" - except................ you must...

John, the one piece of advice I will give you is don't be stubborn when you hear what the cardiologist has to say to you. I had a heart problem while at the winter home last year. Saw a local cardiologist. Nice guy, young, sharp. He talked about doing this test and that test, prescribing this...

I wonder what impact this ruling would have on restricted permits. These restrictions have been put in place by judges/licensing officers beyond the scope of Penal Law 400.00 - there is no allowance in the law for such restrictions and they have been deemed, in the past, to be "administrative"...

Just be aware of one thing if you have ever been "delayed" by a NICS check when purchasing a gun. PA has a time limit of 15 days for a "delay" to clear - if it doesn't then it is an automatic denial. At that point you have the option of making a full application complete with photo...

Is this Robin Cheech or Robin Chong ?

Actually, I have, sort of. Got my original permit in Lewis county and the only gun I had on it then was a Ruger .357. Maybe a dozen years later I was living in Ontario county and got a call from a Lewis county deputy. Wanted to know if I still had that gun. I told him I had long since sold it...

After many years of being so deep into IPSC shooting that I would go to matches that were all speed shoots with paths cleared through the snow from the shooting box to the targets and countless matches shot with bagged targets in the driving rain I took a few years off. Then my son decided to...

^^^^^ I know what you mean. I have just one child and I often tell him I am spending his inheritance and increasing the amount of stuff he will have to deal with someday. He says, "Go ahead, have at it."

That was a nice score for you, guy. I bet an 1899 Savage owner will be willing to take that .303 off your hands. That's getting a little hard to find. I found a carbine in .303 Savage at a yard sale on a back country road 30 years ago. No price on it. I asked the woman if she was selling it...

Okay, here's the story. They had 3 small items I was looking for. Each one showed "Free Shipping". The grand total was $45 and change. 5-10 days for shipping. Now, here's where my fault comes in. One of the items had a small link on its page -- "Check availability". I missed that little link...

Check carefully to make sure what you want is actually in stock. Otherwise be prepared to wait on your entire order. At least, that was my most recent experience with them.

"Let's go break into that big mansion out there in the open up on that hill. Yeah, yeah, the one owned by the richest SOB in this part of the state, that NRA director guy. Should be a piece of cake." Yes, kids, there is a drug problem in this country.

I have an idea how this may be enforced. It has already been stated to the county clerks that, once the recertification period (whatever that is) is over, the NYSP will send a list of those people who did comply to the various county clerks. I think the simplest way for the clerks to deal with...

Oh hell, just work off of what you have trained your body to do all those years. That stance will work well for you. Under pressure you will revert to your most ingrained training anyhow so just work with it. High speed shooting is just a matter of efficiency, economy of motion. Figuring out...
