Smokeless powder, and especially black powder, are non-starters. Ditto for primers. Don't try to bring them on the plane. Primed empty cases should logically be ok as they aren't hazmat items, but don't count on the airlines agreeing with that. As for the quantity of ammo allowed, it seems to vary with the airline, and often the counter person. You can often find an airline's ammo limit on their website. Print it out and bring it with you, in case the counter person had a different opinion. Packaging guidelines usually say something like 'factory packaging or equivalent', meaning you're fine if you leave the ammo in the factory box, you should be fine with reloads in MTM cases or similar, but don't bring a ziplock bag full of loose ammo. Common quantity limits you'll encounter are 5 lbs, 500 rounds, 5 boxes...I think that all links back to an old international regulation limiting small arms ammo in checked baggage to 5 kg (11 lbs), and that '5' got bastardized into all kinds of interpretations. So check with the airline you are using.

It's all in how you pitch it. Call it the CMP Museum. There is certainly a lot of history on display there. And the gift shop is incredible!

Ah, that could explain it.

How (and why) would NADA come up with a value on a homemade trailer?

The Phillips 76 on Main Street in Boonton has a kerosene pump. I’ve not seen it used, so I’d call to confirm before making the trip (assuming you don’t find something closer).

Yep, asking about options if needed in the future. No reason to screw up a perfectly good Ruger now.

Does anyone know how practical it is to permanently pin the thread protector onto the threaded barrel of this gun? Ruger 22/45 Lite I don't have one to look at, but I'd think the thread protector is Aluminum (since the gun was designed to be extremely light), and I'm not sure if the thread protector screws onto the aluminum barrel shroud, or onto the thin barrel within. I'm familiar with pin-and-weld compliance work on ARs, but not sure how the game changes if the parts are aluminum. TIG weld? Yes, I know the gun should be legal as-is today, I'm just wondering if it would be a major headache if the laws suddenly change and we don't get quick relief from the courts. I'm also aware that Ruger makes a non-threaded barrel version of the 22/45 Lite, but I'm ignoring that one for now.

You'll want to look at the current and future laws carefully. Taking the ARs to PA to shoot likely won't be an option, if possession and transport become illegal (at least while the hoped-for court challenges get sorted out). Gunsitters does have a PA location where you could rent space to store them out of state. I also recommend SCFGPA as a range, but like Krdshrk, I've used up my allowed sponsorship recommendations. (hey, does anyone know when the recommendation clock resets?)

The game isn't this Sunday. Though I've got to respect anyone who doesn't know when the Super Bowl is scheduled; it's a sign of having more important priorities!

Super Bowl Sunday is always a ski day for me. Even though the game starts well after the lifts close, people stay home from the slopes. Especially when northeast teams are playing. So I'm looking forward to short lift lines.

Leather Honey also sounds like the stage name of someone who co-starred with Stormy Daniels.

The cylinders don't all rotate in the same direction. Many rotate the wrong way, relative to the Colt standard. :-)

Supply and Demand is what lead the third dealer to set a price that is reasonable in this market. The first dealer (I know just who that is) made a business decision that they don't want to be bothered with transfers, hence the quote for twice the market price. There is no demand for $105 transfers, they just want you to go away if you aren't buying something they have in inventory. The second dealer was just ignorant.

I guess it can no longer be used as a runway either... (The track is adjacent to, and almost parallel with, the runway at Old Bridge airport. Every few years, someone screws up and lands on the drag strip) Runway/Dragstrip

New California!

I dunno...I don't like the look of a rail on a lever gun. That gun also looks like it should be chambered in something a lot bigger than .357.

That's a little harsh, but if anyone feels their fixed-choke shotguns are useless, I'll be happy to give them a good home. I won't even charge you. I do like the flexibility of my interchangeable choke O/U, but after reading this post it occurred to me that I've never, ever had occasion to change the choke tubes in it. And yeah, that commemorative 870 is gorgeous, and a heck of a deal for that price.

Those were originally made to make the conservative heads explode.

It depends on the shipper, and even the individuals you are dealing with. Some will let you ship guns to yourself. Some won’t (even if you go in with copies of the relevant laws and shipper policies) so you have to be prepared for that.

Can you move to an adjacent state and commute? Gun laws are bad for us now, and with the new governor coming in, they’re about to get worse if the guns are legal here, shipping them to yourself is legal, to the best of my knowledge. You can’t address them to anyone else.

Sea Hunt! and maybe Sky King.

Great--glad it worked out! I came down with some kind of nasty bug, and had to skip the match.

you are correct; I'd overlooked that.

Love it! They did note that 2 of 7 attempts to buy guns on the dark web were successful, so they'll key on that result. But the fact that all 72 attempts to buy from legitimate dealers failed is wonderful news.

Yes, Illegal. And No, not yet illegal. All depends on whether you are referring to the first or the second bill to ban them.
