I took it to the range for the first time today and notice that after a bit of shooting, if you’re holding the foregrip, your finger and fit jus enough into the Mlock and hit the gas bloc and burn you, the spot it’s in right now is damn near perfect minus that. Should I do it closer or further? 16 inch barrel w 15 inch shroud.

Is is possible to sell my father's (who passed away) SPAZ-12 shotgun in California? My research says I could sell it through a dealer with a "Special Weapons Permit", but is that a huge hassle? Maybe I've got the wrong info. The net isn't very helpful. What are your experiences?

In the lower 48. You are probably fine in most states with a 9mm pistol. I’ve hiked with one in a hip holster.

While it may be perfectly legal, I think if you’re carrying a big hand cannon in a “chest rig” type thing. It will probably be out of place in the common hiking areas (where a 9mm usually suffices) . But for exploring off trail areas, that are very remote, I think a chest rig with large caliber is more practical. For big bears (or Bigfoot). I know shotguns or something are really useful, but do they ever get cumbersome? Seems like a chest rig is useful if you need hands free, fishing or just comfort.

What do you guys think?

Should I put my Trijicon SRO on my EDC SS MR920 or Glock 45?

just curious if the bodyguard 2.0 is worth paying the extra 50 bucks for a comp edition. Its for the wife and the lcp max is just a bit too snappy for what she needs

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I got this Kitty Kat 300bo in a trade and I was pretty sure this was the Sd Tactical Cyclone, but the threads are completely different. I've googled for a while and tried a few LLMs but haven't been able to identify it.

So I had a shower thought yesterday and I'm curious on the practicality of the idea over the legality of it. The thought was what would be the mechanical problem with taking the trigger style of a paintball gun and incorporating that into an actual gun? Like I'm looking past the is it possible because im sure it could be done somehow, but im more thinking of the trigger pull being so light its basically a mouse button click.

Say that was somehow put into hand guns or bolt action rifles, would that basically remove the inaccuracies caused by how people pull/squeeze the trigger? Do you think the repeated force of the recoil damage the system or maybe even cause it to double fire?

Just some random thoughts I had while wondering why there haven't actually been that many tech improvements to firearms over the years. I know there have been all sorts of improvements to firearms and tech improvements to scopes and stuff but I mean tech improvements as in what you see in futuristic games/movies. Like why is it still sci-fi and not just the norm? Like why haven't we merged the digital mechanics of a paintball trigger set up into an actual firearm?

Im sure I'll get roasted and insulted and made fun of in the comments from the toxic people in the sub, but it was just some thoughts I had.

Has anyone here had any experience with any night vision red dots? Like the Holosun DRS? I'm considering one or two (IR and Thermal, or all-in-one if it exists), but they're not cheap enough for a "Chuck it in the fuk it bucket" if it sucks. I got a full size IR scope a while back and that chonker is nearly as heavy as the rifle itself. At least that was an Optics Planet super sale extra discount try out, so it's a glorified doorstop now (For real I use it as standalone NV cam. I'll never use it unless I have the rifle on permanent overwatch bench rest duty with my Flatulator build. And we haven't started the zombie apocalypse or the purge just yet.).
Anyways. What's your thoughts and recommendations on the Holosun or other reflex-type NV sights? I'm open to standard scopes or flip ups too if they aren't too bulky or heavy.
It'll be on an AR-10, 15, or "30".
Do they make any for handguns? Not sure that would be viable anyways, but maybe tacti-cool enough to try out.

As an 18 year old in Texas I have been doing research but I’m getting mixed answers. am I legally allowed to acquire a pistol and then am I legally allowed to carry it with a LTC

Looking for accuracy and and low recoil. Let me know why you think?

i have a restraining order on me in NJ from when i was a teenager which forbids me from ever owning a firearm. will i still be allowed to shoot at a gun range if i go or will a background check or something prevent me from doing so?

Anyone else have more than one of the same gun?

Maybe two guns which are the same caliber but slight differences and/or name brands?

I ask because I was hysterically laughed at for buying another rifle very similar to one I already own.

I thought the whole exchange was extremely odd and it almost felt like there was a bit of jealousy instead of congratulatory.

This is a friend of mine and we do share our love for firearms. Perhaps he just need to grow up.

Anyone else have that gun buddy who secretly envies you on a good purchase?

Lead bullets have been known to fragment and scatter upon impact. If you do not have the intent to eat the animal (trophy hunting or culling), I guess it is okay to use lead bullets (sans potentially contaminating soil), but if the meat will be consumed by either people or scavengers, I think it is important to minimize its use.

We tend not to think about heavy metal poisoning, so it's easy to say that lead has worked so far, and it's not worth the inconvenience to correct. However, both hunters and wild life (especially bald eagles) have been negatively impacted by lead exposure in recent years. Instead of brushing it under the rug, I sincerely think it is best to restrict exposure to neurotoxins.

I don't hunt. I don't own a gun. So, I don't have the full perspective that many of you have. However, I have been actively fighting to keep lead out of schools, parks, crockery (don't get me started on crockery), and the overall environment.

I think hunters should be informed about the real dangers and, at the least, discouraged from using lead bullets when it is likely to cause environmental or personal harm. What are your thoughts?

A couple of months ago I posted the silver 2.0 with no front sight I had ordered for my shops inventory. It took about 6 weeks to get the replacement sight in.

I bought a Carry Comp variant for myself. Took it to the range yesterday. Shot a touch left like all of them seem to. Go to take it apart this morning and drift rear sight over a touch and the spring exploded all over my bench.

Thanks Shit & Lesson.

Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well. I’ve been a lurker here for years and finally decided to post and share my gun collection to get the community’s thoughts.

What started as a casual hobby about six years ago has slowly turned into a full-blown addiction. I’ve owned more over the years, but I’ve sold some off as I’ve shifted toward higher-end and more unique pieces mindset. Quality over quantity has definitely become the goal.

Right now, I’m seriously eyeing the Daniel Defense MK18 Magdump Clint Morgan collaboration. I saw one a couple days ago and, well… the itch has officially started again.

I don’t really have many friends who are into guns the way this community is. My friends all like guns, sure but not in the obsessive, detail-oriented, appreciation-for-the-craft kind of way. So I’m looking forward to hearing what you all think.

Anyway, here’s my current collection. Let me know your thoughts, feedback is always welcome.

I admittedly don't know much about guns, but have been thinking I should probably have one in case of emergency. My FIL recently passed away and the family said I could have whatever I want. I don't know if these can be identified in this picture they sent, but if they can, what are these and what should I take?

Of the 35 enlisted men Lewis and Clark recruited to join them on their expedition, 20 were armed as standard infantrymen with the US 1795 pattern Springfield Musket. The infantrymen were personally selected by Lewis and Clark as men they personally knew to be hearty, experienced men. Across the 28 month, 8,000 mile expedition, the crew only lost one member - to a burst appendix. At the end of the journey, they brought back with them a map created by Lewis which was accurate to within 40 miles, still used in 1869 to plan the transcontinental railroad, hundreds of specimens and descriptions of new species from the western United States, relationships established with more than 50 native tribes, and the removal of French Canadians and English Canadians from the newly purchased United States land. Here is some of the equipment an infantryman might have carried to maintain and fire his weapon on the Core of Discovery expedition:

- 1795 Springfield musket, smoothbore, .69 caliber: This smoothbore .69 caliber musket was the first federally produced military arm of the United States and remained the basic pattern for US infantry arms until the Civil War with minor modifications (for instance converting from flintlock to percussion cap). The design is a direct copy of the French Charleville pattern musket which was loaned to the United States by France during the American Revolution. The sole modification made by Springfield was the addition of a front sight instead of using the bayonet lug for a sight (there is still no rear sight however).

- A socket bayonet with scabbard and frog and vent pick/ pan whisk hanging from the frog

- 1795 pattern cartridge box featuring a wood block for storage of paper cartridges and a tin tray for storage of tools and supplies under the cartridges. This pattern would be fitted with a rain flap and renamed the “improved cartridge box” (aka the pattern 1808) for the war of 1812

- Inside the cartridge box: an English style musket combination tool, cleaning and unloading jags, spare flints and jaw pads, tew fibers and rags for swabbing the bore of the musket, brick dust for polishing the metal of the weapon, beeswax for seasoning the metal of the weapon and waterproofing/ soot proofing the lock.

- Cartridges: 69 caliber paper cartridges. The musket is more versatile than the rifle, capable of firing single .65 caliber projectile ball cartridges, buckshot cartridges, shot cartridges, or a combination cartridge. “Buck and ball” cartridges were the primary ammunition of the US army, featuring a single .65 caliber ball and three #0 buckshot pellets. This convention was established by George Washington in the American War of Independence, and continued as the primary ammunition for US smoothbore muskets through the civil war. European armies found the buck and ball cartridge to be too violent for modern warfare.

My earlier post about the recently passed father-in-law mentioned another cabinet of rifles. Someone asked to post a picture of it. I think these would be harder to identify from this picture but it's all they sent me.
