I'm in a state with a 10-round magazine capacity limit. I have discovered that I have everything I need to convert a Para-Ordnance P13.45 or P14.45 from .45 ACP to 9mm ... except a 9mm magazine. I can find plenty of P18.9 magazines, but they're not legal here because of the capacity. To make...

The FBI has determined that the gun could not have fired unless Baldwin pulled the trigger. https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/13/alec-baldwin-rust-shooting-forensic-fbi-pulled-trigger/ I think we pretty much knew that.

I'd like to make contact with an LEO who has gone through the ALERRT school shooter training. If anyone on TFL has done this course, please contact me by PM. Thank you.

ALERRT is the official DOJ/FBI active shooter training program. The ALERRT team has prepared a critique of the response in the Uvalde school shooting incident: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22080543-texas-alerrt-report-on-uvalde-response I've read most of the report. While I am in...

Shooting Times just sent me a link to their review of the Rossi R92, a clone of the Winchester Model 92 carbine. The test rifle for the review was chambered in .45 Colt. https://www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/rossi-r92-lever-action-repeater-rifle-review/461175 For factory-loaded ammunition...

I am researching a possible book in response to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting. Can anyone tell me what states do and what states do not allow the .223 / 5.56x45 cartridge for hunting deer? Thanks

An FFL friend is looking at taking in a 2005 vintage Colt 1911 Series 70 on consignment. He asked me what it's worth, and I didn't know so I said I would ask around. It's supposed to be new, unfired, in the original Colt Custom Shop box with two magazines and all original paperwork. Condition...

Does anyone know what the relationship is between the inside diameter of a sizing die and the desired outside diameter of the case? I'm ruminating on possibly trying to make a resizing die for .22 LR. It should be easy, since the case is cylindrical -- no taper. All I have to do is drill a...

Over the years, I have seen various advertisements for tools or kits that allow people to modify the bullets in .22 LR round-nose ammo into hollow-point. I'm trying to collect information on how many such tools or kits are currently available, and I'm coming up blank. It seems like all the links...

Does anyone cast .225 bullets for gas check applications? I would like to find out of the diameter of the bullet base (before installing the gas check) is close to the same as the heel diameter for .22 Long Rifle bullets.

Apparently the people behind the .22 rimfire reloading kits have introduced a new product that converts Berdan-primed cases to Boxer-primed. Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm interested because I have some mil-surp 8mm Mauser ammo that's Berdan-primed...

Or two. I'm looking for one or two short quotations that could be applied to a book about .22 Rimfire ammunition. Ideally I'd like a quotation or two by someone well-known (doesn't have to be a famous gunslinger), but the most important aspect is that I need something extolling the virtues and...

Who makes 'em? I know Tanfoglio has a couple of near clones. Several years ago I think I remember having seen one from one of the Turkish gun makers, but I'm coming up with a blank. Does anybody know who besides Tanfoglio makes a good clone of the CZ-75 Compact? (Preferably the safety model...

The NSSF has sent members a link to the new BATFE rule that redefines what constitutes a frame or receiver. It's only 364 pages, so grab a six pack and a bowl of popcorn before you sit down to read it...

I received an e-mail today from the NSSF with a caution about a new BATFE letter addressing forced reset triggers. Apparently, not all forced reset triggers are created equal, and some of them may be construed by the BATFE to be machine guns...

https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/bill-would-bar-biden-admin-from-stockpiling-records-on-american-gun-owners/ According to this article, Rep. Michael Cloud (R., Texas) has proposed a bill that would allow FFLs to destroy their records. This would short-circuit the BATFE's stockpiling...

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/597227-states-move-to-roll-back-firearm-permits-over-police Several states are looking at relaxing requirements for carrying firearms ... and the police (or at least, some LEO brass) are against it. This sheriff seems to think that law-abiding people...

In the wake of the Supreme Court's dodging the constitutional issues attaching to the Texas law allowing private citizens to sue abortion clinics, California now wants to do the same thing -- except California proposes to allow citizens to sue gun makers...

After seeing the recent post about Gordon's demise, I downloaded the newest version of GRT and dusted it off -- I had it before, but I don't think I've looked at it for two years or more. I'm a pure novice at manipulating these simulators, so I ran some samples against known data (not mine) to...

It looks like Berry's Bullets finally has some bullets in stock to sell to us peons. I have enough .45 bullets for awhile, but I could maybe use some in 9mm. But I also have a .38 Super gun, which takes the same diameter bullet as 9mm, so I'm trying to decide if I should double up, and...
