So what sort of punishment would an FFL recieve for not following a "directive"?

So there is no law saying that FPID and DL must have matching address then correct?

You have to try but the sound is definitly there

If the sound is really that loud and widespread you would think someone would have triangulated it by now

Ditto! I was up, but I didn't hear anything Did some quick research and found out that the 7 horns are preceded by an earthquake. So I think we're good lol

Butches is nice but their prices are very sporatic. The guys at rayco arms are very cool but their prices are high. So, I think im going to have to go with my good ole LGS..Just Sports in courthouse. Prices are hit or miss there and the selection isnt the most awe inspiring but the gentleman who runs the gun counter VInce as well as the owner Bud are top notch guys and can bs with you for hours.

Go elsewhere. Dicked a good friend of mine around with a shotgun he purchased there.

i just bought 200 rounds of .223 for 4.50 a box. I'm sure the saiga will eat it fine

You guys see any problems with using a p38 or p1?

Hickok45 and fpsrussia are awesome. hickok can be a little long winded but very informative. I dream about having my range look that nice one day

my LGS sells sling shot elastic bands and shot... I don't know if they have steel up to .50 but they do have 1/2" glass shot

yea man, I need some range time. Just picked up 200 rounds of .223 and some .22. Need to order some more mak ammo though

Ok that makes perfect sense. So they base minimum off power AND diamater. It's not that I think .45 is too much, my p-64 actually has much greater precieved recoil then a 1911. I just don't realy like the idea of big, heavy, slow rounds. I like light and fast

So 9mm mak at .364 should be good then correct? Same with .380 as thats .355 as well?

whatever you say I'm sure I'll find thing somethat I can use eventually

I've shot one, I didn't dislike like I've disliked every glock I've ever touched lol but It didn't seem that great or cool to me. At least not enough to justify the pricetag.

I like curio's and relics. More european then anything. (soft spot for tok's and maks) but I think most old autoloaders are cool. I don't really care at all about winning at this point. I just want to have fun. If I can shoot action rifle with a mosin then call me crazy but I think it would be fun to try. Almost kinda like a ww2 throwback. I see what you're sayign with the "power factor" so I can see why they wouldn't allow 9x18 (although probably 90% of the mak guns with the fixed barrel blowback design recoil as bad or worse then similar sized 9x19) but it still doesn't make sense to me why they wouldn't allow 7.62 based on that alone. I also don't see how theoretical man stopping power has anything to do with a target match It is their rules though, so I suppose if i wanna play I need to learn to live by them. Maybe a 1911 is in my future. Its an interesting design I just dont care at all for .45acp. Any other caliber just doesn't seem "right though..

I just dropped mine off to be renewed today, expired on the 6th and I was told I couldnt bring it in to be extended until after it expired. I was told today no problem and i would have the exteneded permit back in a few days

ok thanks. I saw a video on youtube a little while back of a guy using a lever action in some kind of tatical rifle comoetition. Though that was pretty cool. I could just imagine trying to run around with a 91/30 and hit targets on the move. red army style lol

In terms of energy or bullet diamater? as the tok round carries more energy and the mak round is slightly larger lol. Not trying to argue with you of course im just curious about how/why they have the rules set up as they do..

what do they consider "minimum"? Sounds a lot more like "common" lol 7.62 has reasonably more energy then 9mm para. and 9mm mak is technically larger as well Looks like im going to have to start honing my snub nose skill. Or buy a different type of handgun then im really interested in

Static steel looks like it would be fun, are there classes for semi and manual action guns or is everything lumped together? Also are there centerfire classes I could possibly use the saiga or the mosin in? That is a shame about 9x18 as im starting to really like the round as well. Was even considering a cz-82 for this type of thing becuase of the higher cap mags. do they allow 7.62x25? thinking of making a tokarev my next handgun.... maybe even find a 9x19 barrel for it. If they would allow it...

The marlin is a good little gun, what does static steel entail? I would like somethiing where I would be moving around not just shooting from a bench or stand. I'm open to anything though just to get started. Why can i use the model 36 and not the p-64 in the other orginizations? I'm not very good with it but im decently good with the p-64.

So I would like to get into some form of competitive shooting (preferably steel). Are any of the guns I currently own acceptiable? I don't want to actually be competitive I just want to have fun. So anyway my list of firearms is as follows. Marlin 795 .22 - two ten tound mags. Marlin xt-22 .22 bolt action - High cap fixed mag Saiga .223 - two ten round mags Mosin Nagant Polish p-64 9x18mm - two six round mags. S&W model 36 .38spl Any of that permissible? And what orginizations could I compete with?

plastic gears would sure drop parastic loss
