      Private sale of handgun

      For individual to individual sales, all firearms, excluding antiques, must go through an FFL in the buyer's state of residence if the buyer and seller reside in different states.

      Private sale of handgun

      Here is an ATF "Best Practices: Transfers of Firearms by Private Sellers" document from January 2013. While it does reccommend checking the other person's ID to confirm their residency, it also states that it is not a requirement to do so. It is a PDF download, not a web link...

      .224 Valkyrie vs 6.5 Grendel for hunting and distance shooting

      IMO the 6.5 Grendel is better for hunting larger than varmint sized game because it has more energy. Also the Grendel, until the Valkyrie, had the best ballistics among the commercially supported cartridges for the AR-15 platform. The Valkyrie alledgedly takes the cake on in-flight ballistics...

      Ar upper

      I think I have a 16" 1-7 Twist chrome lined M4 contour barrel with 'F' marked FSB and complete barrel nut assembly installed on it in the spare parts bin that was a take off from a customer's rifle. IIRC, it doesn't look like they ever shot it. It's yours for $100. PM or shoot us an email if you...

      Muzzle Device Prices...

      Pricing isn't always so direct. There's more to the cost of a silencer, or any widget, than just the materials and "build" time. The retail price needs to cover the associated overhead cost of the retailer, the distributor and the manufacturer as well as generate a profit for all three...

      Gun retrieval.

      I believe this is pertaining to background checks that never received a resolution and guns were transferred after the "3 day" limit. I would assume those checks would stay opened indefinitely and if the FBI received new information on them they can go back and let the dealer know that the final...

      80% AR15 lowers

      I would advise starting over. If the hole is off centered and the new hole needs to be where some JB weld is then that isn't going to work well. Also, the adhesion on the JB is suspect for the application. As for welding, it would likely be more expensive to get someone to do it than buy another...

      Need Computer with XP

      I was just trying to point out that an adapter would not work, to prevent the OP from having to figure it out the hard way. I have never done the USB conversion, although I may in the future. I cannot speak for the ease of setup, I'm sure it is very doable. The advantage is that it is supposed...

      Need Computer with XP

      I know a new computer will run Mach3, and mine has integrated graphics, but it also has 4GB RAM and a 2.6Ghz Intel CPU. It's 4 years old and it runs Mach3 and XP just fine. Looking back at my Newegg account it looks like I spend just under $300 on the parts and that included a BluRay drive (was...

      Need Computer with XP

      To my knowledge there is no USB to LPT adapter that works with Mach3. You might get all the signals/pulses, but they probably won't be in the right order. You would need a USB or ethernet motion controller and I believe software, such as the UC100, to drive it if you did not want to use the...

      Need Computer with XP

      I repurposed an HTPC I had built and no longer used to run my Mach3. The mobo had the paralell port connection and I just got an adapter to plug into the mobo and run out the back of the case. Running XP, using integrated graphics, a few year old i3 processor, 4GB RAM. At the time I think I...

      Upper/Lower Reciever Quality Questions

      Gator, I appreciate the support and I'm glad to hear the positive words!

      Upper/Lower Reciever Quality Questions

      You are correct in that at the end of the day one milspec lower will function as a trigger/mag holder the same as another. I would guess at least 90% of the forged receivers produced come from 10 or less OEMs, some of who also sell consumer direct like Aero and Anderson and some who don't. The...

      NRA tosses us under a bus

      No, I know nothing about the company. I just know the ATF tech branch OK'ed the product and never called it a machine gun. I don't know of another authority better qualified to make that claim. So you can rationalize it whatever way you want, but the fact is the people who decide what is and...

      NRA tosses us under a bus

      I am familiar with how they work, but pushing your finger into the trigger is how you pull a trigger. It doesnt mattetrhow its accomplished, one round per trigger pull = not a machine gun. If it were a machine gun it would not have made it past the ATF tech branch as not a machine gun. They've...

      NRA tosses us under a bus

      You are literally pulling the trigger everytime. That's all that matters. That's why bump stocks were approved. We'll just have to agree to disagree and wait to see how it plays out. I hate being in a position where I have to defend bump stocks because I have always thought they belong in the...

      NRA tosses us under a bus

      With a bump stock, or bumpfiring in general, the shooter is pulling the trigger every time. I you were to hold down the trigger on an AR, shoot, and keep the trigger depressed, the disconnector will catch the hammer and keep it from firing another round. It is not until you release the trigger...

      That's some pretty scary language, or lack thereof. A lot left up interpretation.

      NRA tosses us under a bus

      I see what you are saying, although, that function is still two things and it does not change the fact that the trigger must be pull with your finger each time. And that's the whole point. The technical definition of a machine gun revloves around the trigger and how many rounds are fired per...
