Bump

If you have a local locksmith in the area, check out what they offer. As someone mentioned before, used safes can be a good deal and locksmiths will sometimes have what you're looking for. Bought my last couple of safes from a local locksmith. They may be a little more expensive but sometimes the extra service is worth it. I'm also a recent convert to the concept of decentralization, ie keeping safes in multiple locations, plus it allows you to use smaller safes. There's also things like Snap Safe and Secure It locking cabinets, which can be delivered to you, assemble it yourself, and if necessary disassembly for if you decide to move out.

The CMP knows and they'll be adjusting their policy fairly soon from what I was told over the phone this morning from someone in the 1911 program.

Updated price and bump.

After today's evaluation I'd figure I'd make it official and let you know that I'll take it.

I'm sure it'll shoot well, but I'm not really liking that design. For some reason that uncovered ejector rod and the notch in the barrel that they cut out to accommodate it just really bothers me as it looks like a future point of failure. I second the comment from earlier that it would be great if the cylinder was also cut to take 9mm in addition to the 357, it would complement that new Homesteader well. Definitely not liking that rear sight set up.

I don't think it is. Last time Last I heard they did a restoration for static display. I'm not sure what was worse, seeing that sight or the C-54 with its wings sliced off, just down there road from it.

Not sure about the first two, but yes I believe the scope is pretty much gone if you do that. I mount a scope on mine so I would lose that option if I went that route. If I were stuck in NY it might be worth considering.

I actually did my Hunter's Field Test for my Hunting license up there. Extremely nice place, but very expensive. The fact that they have a dress code and helipad there tells me there's no way I'd be able to afford the place.

My bad, I made a mistake. The stripper clip option is an aftermarket add on feature. Might be a good option for NY or CA legal Mini where you may have to have a fixed magazine. Here's a link to that setup. https://www.rugerforum.net/threads/load-your-mini-14-via-stripper-clips.358257/

I think I'd actually prefer the 7.62X39 chambered ones, I think 300 Blackout might end up being hard to get one day due to it's niche status so far. I'm curious does you rifle have the cut in the bolt to do stripper clips, like my 5.56 has?

Thanks for the info. I don't have a Mini-30, but I do have the Mini 14 Tactical. I was kicking around the idea of a Mini-30 lately, preferably one of the ones the made in 7.62X39, I wasn't sure they if they still make that version as I know there's a 300 Blackout one that's out there.

That actually looks pretty good. You'd basically have it set up like a scout rifle. I have a scope on mine, but my main problem with that is when you do a full strip and clean you have to remove the scope in order to get the bolt back in. Doing this might look like a good alternative to that. Though it does say that for 2007 and earlier it's only for the Mini-14 and not the Mini-30.

Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw/Seahorse.

Looks like it's out of stock as of this moment. With prices they were showing, I can see why they're sold out.

I actually went the Passport card route. This was at the beginning of COVID when everything was backed out the ass, it was basically easier than doing my license at the time. It was $20 add on to the Passport Book and is good for 10 years vs 4 Years for Drivers License. Something to consider.

If it's still available I'll take it.

Are those Tritium sights currently on the the 320 slide?

Interesting video and every theory in there so far is valid. I'll being keeping an eye on the NTSB website for updates on this one.

I was told they don't wear the G-Suits because it interferes with their ability to feel out the airplane control inputs. It's low level VFR type flying with fairly shallow inputs so I can see why they wouldn't. As for the ejection seat they're pretty much all deactivated on the planes that have them (at least the racers). Those early generation ejection seats weren't the best to begin with, plus the older Warsaw Pact planes tended to some sort of explosive charge to fire off the seat (NATO uses a rocket motor) so it's likely that the seat would stand an equal chance of killing you. I'm definitely thinking this is some sort of mechanical failure. Fire crews were out there pretty quick and thankfully it happened on the far end of the Jet course. I don't remember seeing the pilot in the pits, but I do remember they were selling their knives at their spot and saw a firearms catalog there. When I did research afterwards I made the connection. Matter of fact it looks like both the brothers and the CEO have a fleet of planes at their disposal. Another thing I wonder is if the Engine STC played any factor (PW JT-12) in the crash? I know the Siddley Viper engine STC if you ran them at high power for extended periods of time the engine mounts would start cracking. . http://hogueairforce.com/

So I was debating whether or not to post this, but given the lack of news in firearm circles I thought I would. One of the members of the Hogue family, as in Hogue INC and their line of firearm accessories, was killed during the Reno Air Races. Pilot in question was Aaron Hogue and he was flying an L-29 in the Jet Class. I'm not sure what happened but at some point on lap 3 on the far end of Jet course. It all happened fast and I suspect it was fairly instant. Not sure what if this will affect the company at all, but given his brother and one of their sons is running it with him, I don't think the company is going any where. I didn't really piece it together initially since they were selling only their knives out at their spot in the Jet pits in Reno, that they were part of the same corporation. https://mynews4.com/news/local/pilot-from-paso-robles-dies-in-reno-air-races-crash-northern-nevada-reno-air-races-death-plane-crash

I believe We Shoot has similar policy. I had to have one of my own guns with me in order to rent down there. It was still better the Shore Shot's policy where they wouldn't rent one to me, regardless of the fact that I had my own with me. Never set foot back in the place since then. I understand there's been some really horrible incidents at the ranges with suicides and I'm willing to do work with some of their restriction, but blanket bans are a sure way I won't set foot in there again.

Mistake email. Apparently it's in response to a CA law just about not putting out any kind of 2A material to anyone under the age of 18 (classifying it like porn). When I tried to get my digital copy of American Rifleman I had to certify that I was above the age of 18 in order to access the magazine. So that's what that was probably about before they realized their error

Wegmans actually got rid of their shopping baskets mid-way through the pandemic for: reasons (along with their meal counter). Been bringing in my milk crate that I keep in my car along with whatever free reusable bags I've been able to collect. According to my mother and sister if you do that in Shop-Rite they try to slap a "Paid" sticker on every single item you have.
