Have fun all Really wish I could go. Maybe next time. Baby due any day now!

Not sure if this is helpful or applicable, but just wanted to share my 2nd good experience with Ruger. Called Ruger on Oct. 24 about an extraction issue on my GP100. Shipped it next day They resolved the issue on Oct. 28th Shipped it on Oct. 31st Just got it today! Seems the cylinder is either replaced or polished up to fix the extraction issue. No questions, no fuss, no cost to me. Just results! So, if customer service is important to you, Ruger so far is amazing. They don't make everything on-site, but you will get a reasonable turn-around even if you have to wait on parts.

Thank you! Actually found at a local dealer. It was about $1400 used and couldn't pass it up! They already have more M1As and M1 Garands for around $1900+.

Since I left this thread in suspense, I settled on this M1A which came with this neat army M14 manual and some accessories Now I just have to find time to shoot it...

By now I've noticed this is somewhat common on all new 92 series guns. It's the change to dovetail sights that necessitates the drill hole which carries this risk. After the last few sessions with mine it still scrapes off any new blue I apply. I may try to polish it with fine sandpaper or just keep going until it stops.

Congrats! I know you've been looking for a while! Shooting SAAs is an experience. I'm looking to take mine out soon again as well.

Welllll... I kept thinking about the M1A and just got it since it was a steal. Whew! It's a beautiful specimen with all wood furniture. Thank you! I definitely want a side-loading .357 lever action at some point for that exact reason.

Having focus is always good advice as well. I like where this .308 conversation is going since it's completely new to me. Building one sounds interesting, didn't occur to me! Thanks for the input so far, I'll read up on some options.

Hey Folks, So, I'm currently waiting to take home a pistol and wondering if there is anything I should consider taking home with it. So far for long guns I have: A 5.56 "other" AK in 7.62 Henry .22 Lever Action Umarex .22 MP5 Browning Semi-Auto Shotgun Mossberg 500 Pump Kel-Tec Sub2000 You might tell that I like variety. Open to suggestions to broaden my horizons or just plain good shooters to improve my skills. Though I did my hunting education, I don't actually hunt though am open to it. Maybe a bolt-action, or an accurate .22 rifle for practice? Also saw an M1A at a LGS that caught my curiosity. Not looking for anything that couldn't be shouldered. Our real family is growing this year so I'm going to be taking a break from the hobby for a while.

I admit the Mark IV is a very comfortable gun. Extremely light too. Recently went to a LGS to check it out, though I decided on the Browning Buckmark instead.

Can confirm that recent NICS are indeed taking up to a week.

I actually saw one of these in a local shop and ... it's kind of awkward. At least for me, it felt odd to aim and work the lever. On top of that .410 is hard to come by and most ranges wouldn't even let me use it. I'll pass for now. Sure is pretty, though.

Honestly this is the best we could hope for. I always imagined that this could be simply embedded in the FARS experience, so I am glad that's as far as it goes. It's not necessarily a bad thing to have something like this. It's less invasive than the hunting education. A quick primer on gun safety is a fair "cover your ass" compromise, but at this length people will just skip through it anyway. However, the slide on storage intentionally misleads people to think they're obligated to store the gun locked and unloaded. They mention the transport statute but strangely don't go into detail, which would make this whole thing more useful. As usual this just adds more confusion.

I got the Agile 52 for ease of single-man transport and assembly. So far I like it a lot. I filled the rack with six long guns and put in enough bins to hold 8 handguns and extra doodads. There's plenty of room behind the rifles to stash things like mags and ammo. Depending on the length of the rifles, you can get really creative with bins, shelves, and even peg holders. It is easy to bolt to the floor and/or wall. The main motivation is to protect from kids and so far it's perfect. The keypad buttons do have a lot of give. I notice I have to really press in and it takes a while; I concur I wouldn't use this for rapid emergency access. It also has a lot of airflow since it's full of holes so it's important to store in a cool, dry place and/or use dehumidifiers. Though it is rigid while assembled, it is nowhere near as tough as a true safe and has no fire rating to speak of. In general, if you want to keep your guns organized, away from kids, and where cool air can circulate, it's a great choice. My advice: buy all your accessories in advance because their shipping fees are crazy.

Thanks for the input everyone. Yes, so far people are reluctant to repair vs replace. We're getting some quotes on going full central air next week to compare. Our split lasted about 12 years so it makes sense to replace in any case. I will consider DIY since everything is already there for it. I'll do some research and see if it makes sense to do alone.

Hey folks, One of these found a home with me: https://mossberggunstore.com/mossberg-flex-500-12-gauge-tactical-pistol-grip-shotgun/ The flex system is nice and easy to swap to a stock. So far it's fun, especially with reduced recoil loads. With more proficiency I'd consider this for HD. Any suggestions are appreciated for accessors like lights, shell holders, etc. I tried an OLight Baldr Pro under the foregrip and it actually flew right off the gun! So, need something shotgun friendly

Hey All, Our split AC just bought the farm. Nobody we called so far is willing the fix the thing and the ballpark estimates we get for a new split or central air job seem extreme. Any suggestions? We'd like to move towards Central Air, and also appreciate any general information on the topic.

Update: I just got my Beretta back. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Never got a new barrel, but it seems they smoothed out the burr and blued over the scratch. Has a hint of a ridge in it, like a scratch on a leather sofa. It's fine and I'm glad to have it back. I heard a rumor they're working on a new trigger upgrade set for this gun so will consider that in the near future. Thank you for watching this adventure and do not make the same mistake I did.

Oh I was just coming on to post this! By this logic, alcohol and automobile manufacturers need to team up to track reckless and drunk driving. At least their strategy of "let's do everything to bankrupt the firearms industry" is consistent.

And it's essentially luck whether it's restricted or not.

Honestly I can fully imagine a future where bodies are no longer buried and repurposed in any number of ways.

Political debates:

Gangsters don't seem to care about printing and they do fine. There were only two instances in my life someone revealed their lawful CCW to me and I would never guess otherwise. One of them was even wearing tight jeans. Just be cool.
