Up in Maine , any shops to stop in ?

Recommended Posts

If you are driving back, Kittery Trading Post just before the Piscataqua River Bridge before New Hampshire is usually a good bid. With the current climate, like most gun shops in the country, it could be a toss-up. It is right off of I-95.

+1 for Kittery or Cabelas.  Cabelas has been getting a better supply lately.  C&R is near Bath/Brunswick too.  Might be worth a shot.   Stop in some of the Walmarts too.  You may get lucky.

IIRC there is a strip mall in Trenton, Maine (ironic, huh?) right on route 3 just before you cross over onto Mount Desert Isle that has a gun shop.  Last time I was in Maine I stopped in and chatted for a while.  If I remember, the owner used to live here in NJ and could not believe how nuts it had become here.

 

I think this is the place

 

And while on Mt Desert Island, check out Atlantic Brewing Co. if you are a beer drinker.

Wow, I will call some family and see whats up there, my Grandpa is a lobsterman out of Bar Harbor and my Uncle has a lobster boat out of Bucksport.   If you go up to Bucksport at all send me a PM, my family owns some interesting property with Indian carved murals of Captain Buck and depicts the story of his boats coming ashore.

If you're into serious target shooting, Larry's Guns in Gray, Maine should be worth a stop.   I've not been there in person, but I've been a mail order customer, and they carry stuff that is VERY hard to find elsewhere.  They do operate a brick-and-mortar shop.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
