Just got to thinking. Many places in this country really don't have access to quiet private land where you can just relax and shoot without worrying about ridiculous range rules and other nonsense. However, most of those places just so happen to be near the coasts. What would be the legality of...

So both shotguns and rifles have been available in both bolt and pump actions. I've always wondered why is it that pump became the popular and quintessential action for the shotgun yet bolt for the rifle? I mean pump-action is generally faster than bolt-action so why didn't rifle design go...

Just wanted to know if Mossberg offers the Maverick 88 as a PGO. I'm really interested in making one of those non-NFA 14" shotguns for myself as a range toy, but the legality of the whole thing hangs on it never having had a stock attached to it. So simply swapping a pistol grip on the thing...

I have watched a few videos recently that mentioned that creating a registry of guns or gun owners is prohibited by law. I somehow never really bothered to actually look into that claim. But recently it hit me. I live in NYC where we have a registry for all firearms (handguns and longarms). So...

Just a question i had about the Mossberg 930 (or I guess any gas operated shotgun similar to it). Why do they have feeding issues when fired from the hip without having a shoulder (or something) behind the stock to stop the recoil? I understand that on recoil-operated guns, it's the rearward...

Seriously looking into getting my first rifle soon. Trying to hold off since it would be tough on the wallet but it's getting hard to resist. Just one, nothing too expensive (I'm sure everyone here keeps lying to themselves about that :p) It will be a simple plinker to go to the range with once...

This is gonna be a noob question. I've been looking at shotguns recently and I'm getting kind of confused at how manufacturers label their magazine capacities. For instance, manufacturers will label their gun as having a capacity of 6 shots. However some mean that as 6 in the mag and 1 in the...

Let's say I were to take a 100% AR-15 lower and mill out the internals so that they no longer take AR-15 FCG parts, does it cease to be a firearm? At least for transfer purposes. What if I were to take an 80% lower and mill the whole FCG pocket out of spec (too wide, too short, too deep). Is it...

I was just wondering if a flash hider that is modified to not act like a flash hider anymore and just be there for aesthetics would be OK as far as AWBs are concerned. For example, if I took an AK-74 muzzle brake (which the ATF classified as a flash hider, despite the fact that it clearly...

Just wanted to know, is the NY City and NY State AWB the same law or are they seperate? For instance all the talk about owning rifles in NYS says that as long as it has only 2 evil features it's not an AW. And if it doesn't have a removable mag, then you get all the evil features you want...

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/03/12/wto-membership-could-open-floodgate-of-russian-guns-ammo/ What do you guys think? Would this mean we get a bunch of cheap SKSs, Russian AK part kits and SVDs? Plus ALL of the ammo. This would be sweet. Especially if it means they can send those new...

Hey guys, I'm currently designing a custom revolver cap n' ball rifle. Maybe I'll even build it some day but right now it's just a bunch of wishful thinking in SkechUp. Anyway part of my design is the chambers are bottlenecked. They are 9mm chambers that neck down to 7.62 and are 55mm long. So...

Does anyone know a place that will be ale to engrave correct M16-A1 (M603) trademarks for me? On both the magwell and the side of the lower above the fire selector. I hear alot of places are hesitant to engrave trademarks for fear of copyright issues (this will have a the Colt logo on the...

I haven't had much experience shooting. Don't have my own gun, NYC laws and all. But I have been to a rental range a few times and I never noticed the brass coming out of a gun being that hot. Sure it's a bit warm..kinda. But hardly anything I would call hot. Alot of times I would try to catch...

Hi, I have a project I'm working on, a custom airsoft M727 build trying to use as many real AR components as possible. I want to use a 14.5" DPMS barrel for the gun, however the diameter of the bore needs to be about 9mm for me to run the inner barrel through. Since having a nice finish in the...

Hi, not sure if this is the right section to ask. I live in NYC and like to go shooting once in a while and would like to know of any ranges that rent guns. Preferably outdoor and that rents rifles. I guess one in PA would be best since they would seem to have the best selection of guns (not...

Just have a question about H.R. 882 (The national reciprocity bill) As many may know, N.Y.C. technically allows CCW to anyone who holds a NYC Carry Permit (which is separate from a NYS carry permit, which is not valid in NYC) However, as far as the government is concerned, noone has a "good...

As the title says, I need the pin that holds the auto-sear in the M16 lower. JUST THE PIN, no sear itself. I've been looking around the usual online shops but since none of them specialize in NFA items, even basic parts are a bit tough to find. Google search of "auto sear pin" brings up nothing...

Does anyone know any good outdoor ranges in Upstate New York or Connecticut that rent guns? I did some google searches and all I found were private clubs not open to the public, ranges with no rentals or indoor ranges that don't allow any rifles, other than .22LR Not sure if this is the right...

Can anyone tell me if a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle is legal to own in NYC with a rifle permit? I currently live in Brooklyn, NYC and around here to even own a rifle in your home, you must have a permit and each rifle you own must be registered. You must be 21 to apply for a permit. So I will be...
