the problem, at least what we thought it came to, is you have a few very vocal people, whom have very little experience, or no purpose to post, post... and either they are wrong, or not the best answer, and it gets taken seriously by otherwise unknowing people. I do have that problem to some extent, however I always make sure to put I do not know 100% if I dont. Within the forum owner/admin community I have serious issues with a few other philosophies about having people post for the sake of posting. What it does do is increase the post counts, however does nothing to improve the overall fiber in the community, or increase the post quality. there are no doubts about that leading to a very quick and dramatic failure of a forum when a few key blabber mouths stop posting and it dies. That business model is all around having alot of eyeballs on the screen and clicking on ads. My vision for the forum is the complete opposite, and see it as an online community to an extension of the offline friendships that are created. Post quality and quality of the overall advice is the top priority. If we have to loose a few blabber mouths to accomplish that, like we did this week, I am all for that. All of the sudden, 90% of the posts are quality firearms related posts. Who doesn't like that?

Anyone shoot or have 147 gr 9mm?
Not too concerned about grouping at 50 yards as this would be primarily for USPSA, where targets are sub 25 yards, and majority being sub 15. What I am looking at is felt recoil, and time to reacquire sights for follow up shots. Have you shot them or just saying?

Anyone shoot or have 147 gr 9mm?
Ordering a case of ammo from Montana Gold, and interested in the idea of 147 gr over 124. Anyone have a few or any experience with them?

father passed away, transfer of ownership
Please Read the article then. It all matters, and if you dont know, or if you are not an estate attorney, estate planner, an FFL, a judge that deals with estates, or someone that went through this situation.... please dont post. With his mom disclaiming the property, he can receive all the guns. He still needs an FID because he was not explicitly named in the will, however by getting the firearms in inheritance, he can apply for the exemption, and get them all at the same time.

father passed away, transfer of ownership
Did you bother to read the article? You can disclaim any property. Cars, homes etc. yes, including guns. Firearms have additional rules, however it is still an item. =) Please just dont post if you do not know.

Was there someone else present at that conversation?

father passed away, transfer of ownership
I am not a lawyer, however have seen it in my courses of estate planning. Depending on how long has passed, the beneficiary does not have to accept the items and can disclaim them, however there are strict limits to how long. She cannot receive it, then a year later say that she does not want it. I do not know how long the time limit to disclaim an item is, and all of my estate books are in the office. If there was an attorney involved, I would give them a call, as that is what you are paying them for.

If enough time did not pass yet, she can possibly disclaim the firearms and have them automatically go to you.

Build your own AR class at Gun-for-Hire
It is one thing if it is one on one for that much. =) but I guess it all depends on the person. You have many members here that have volunteered to help folks with putting an AR together and we had plans for in the past to do it. If you are building a basic AR... you would be hard pressed to save $400 off of a $1,000 AR, unless you are going for bottom of the rung components.

Build your own AR class at Gun-for-Hire
$375 is a tad much.... but I am sure it would be good. $150 for the series would be a great price.

I use AceofSales.com. Really really really great product. And it is cheap. $20 a month, lets you do newsletters, email greetings etc. If you got some of my emails in the past, you will see it. Best of all, lets you see actual tracked results. Sign up, and you can get a 30 day trial, use promo code MAKS30.

Do you plan your purchases
great post Eric. I plan most of the core items I want to buy, and I do have a list of things I am on the lookout for... however I have purchased quite a few items that were spur of the moment because they were a really good deal. If I liked it, I kept it, if I didnt, I would sell it, however I wasn't in a rush to. Other items, such as those you are collecting, you have to be ready at any point if they come in. Such as, if an Israeli Mauser 22LR single shot trainer became available for a reasonable price, I would almost be tempted to buy it sight unseen. Others, I am more cautious of, and would love to see the item in person before buying.

Post your reloading bench and setup
Here is my setup as promised. I have an empty section in my office so decided to setup the press there. In the new space I am moving too, there is about a 150 sf closet that I will turn into the reloading room. Out of sight will work great. Once we move out of the condo, there will be space. Whatever house we decide to buy, will have a gun cave. lol. Both of the presses are mounted to 2 inches of oak, glued and drilled. Mounted to the desk with Double head C clamps. So when I switch from one to another, very easy to do so... and still solid.
