It is fairly standard that your gun store normally sends its FFL# etc to the other store or whichever FFL. I'm 64 and am not really a novice. Does a store normally need just 1-2 days to transmit the necessary info? Just puzzled. Today is the fourth day. My only call to them has been about...

Am quite aware of SIG’s modern production in NH. I owned an M-11 for a short while. Their components also seem to be US-made. I just read that either Walther or HK (not both) use German-made components, which are assembled in Georgia. Had never seen this comment before about whichever company...

….On average between most state combinations? In case this isn't clear, wouldn't a state 'combi' imply WI to MO, AZ to TX etc? The various mechanics and interpretations of the law have no interest for me. If a buyer must pay it, ok. This might not appear on a company website until the order is...

Does a brush apply it too thickly or unevenly? Being retired, time is not an issue. Quite frankly, this is not intended to be a beauty queen, repeat, not, just to improve the black paint on an Egyptian Maadi AK's outer receiver, forward gas tube area and barrel, which are faded and scratched...

Being new to .22 handguns (age 63), recently bought the M&P .22 and really enjoy it. Scanning random Google (non-commercial) reviews, a WI gunsmith reported that he had issues with his extractor due to burrs from the production's stamping process when residue collects on the burrs. Is this...

"A vow of silence", for the meek.;) Using the liquid version, the question concerns the various reviews and the company founder's ads that it is designated as a "Dry Lube". My decision was to order only the liquid, and after the previous stuff (Breakfree and a bit of Mobil One grease on rails)...

Bought the German-designed/produced "S&W M&P" .22 last week. 63 years old, my first .22 handgun. Both good gun buddies tried it today and were often seen reloading the mag and walking towards the Action Pistol gongs when I was distracted-more than I could have anticipated. They really like the...

in a gun's chamber. Nobody seems able to describe the appearance when cleaned from a chamber. The extra crud from accumulated residue in very dirty guns seems to be what they see. Guys often don't know that steel cases allow residue to build up enough to be a problem when switching to softer...

I've no luck with Copy and Paste, therefore, a few seconds on Google allows so you to read up on this incident in Tallahassee FL. Police claim that the thug/thief planned to kill somebody with the handgun. :(The...fired... Asst. Manager's family is forced to sell their house. I called Academy...

My three Sigs are all very nice Non-Israeli examples, with the Kiel Germany proof marks (the bug). The photos of two available ex-Israeli examples show very dinged and scraped-up external components. I would not mind one as a range gun, if pretty reliable, but don't want any appreciable risk of...

This nice condition '98 classic was just acquired. As with my collector ('94) P228, both were manu., assembled and proofed in Kiel Germany. My Non-Collector Sig, a 229R, has rails and fits too tightly to easily be pulled out with one hand. As the '98 collector 225 Can be pulled with one hand...

Note: **He already Owns this excellent gun**. Whether or not he wants to ever try a lighter spring, I can't tell. He's a buddy I don't know very well. His USP Compact's DA pull, at the start, is not too bad, but at the end of the pull, is clearly worse than any Polish P-64 (9x18) I've ever...

Have mostly been a rifle guy, who only 'carried' a .380 Russ. Makarov. The Sig was retail 'new in box' about four weeks ago. Today the empty brass case was still seated in the chamber. Very First issue with this brand-new gun. I was surprised at the glitch and never checked the empty brass...

HKs: P30, P2000, VP9 quality? My newer handguns, after upgrading from primarily owning Makarovs, are the CZ PO1, Sig P229 and brand-new M11 A1 (229 variation). I might consider such an HK in the future, to carry on the most humid days in July-August, and for more German variety. The stock DA...

Woops: the 509 is an FN. Busy hour at gun show, then driving 30 min. to sell my last EG Makarov. ****Only Had Makarovs as Carry or Range guns (until Nov. a rifle guy, then took a 2-day class with an Amer./Israeli instructor)**** My new types of carry & or 'new collector' guns are multiplying...

Having just bought a used CZ PO1 and used Sig P229 (.40), both are in exc. condition. The prev. carry gun: .380 Russian Makarov, which only had the rear slide exposed to t-shirts in the IWB Remora. The new holster I'm sticking with, a very narrow type which exposes both the Sig's muzzle and...

Have used it mostly in SKS and my five AKs. Maybe 2,000-3,000 rds. In this nice used Sig .40 cal. P229, it has only had two minor issues over 500 rds., and only in the last 100 or so rounds. Both times the slide never cocked the hammer on the second, fifth or so, round. Obviously (I'm 62 years...

Bought this first Sig (used) today. So solid, very smooth trigger. In case somehow there is a nice price on a Used 9mm P 229 barrel somewhere, it would be nice to know whether the 9mm mags are designed to operate in the .40 Sig 229s.

A couple of them on an online auction website look excellent. The retailer has an A+ rating on the auction website. He/she states in the description for both of them: "I can't find any wear!". How is this possible with an LEO/Federal "trade-in" gun, unless it was stored in a department gun...

Is there an effective, mod.cost AR brake which goes on a r.h. threaded muzzle for .5x28? It must allow a standard 7.62x39 bullet to pass through. I've never had any sort of brake on any of my gun and nothing about them. A nice guy still selling a very popular 'AK brake' on Armslist TN tried to...
