Has the ATF come out with a new form 1 yet? My friend is looking to fill out some stamps after 41f and he wants to fill out the forms now but I wasn't sure if it would be possible to send off the pre 41f forms after July 13th. I'm also interested in doing the same but I can't seem to find any new forms yet. Also QTDDTOT
If I can't find a small enough set screw for the rear sights of my pistol could I just put red or blue locktite inbetween the cracks and call it a day? I used a hammer and punch to get the rear sights in so it's pretty snug in there right now.
>>30552822
No, but yes. Don't expect it to last on a big gun.
>>30552822
Pretty much this >>30552832
I would recommend blue locktite so its not as permanent as red and can be removed with enough heat.
What will happen if I don't have a CCL and I'm caught carrying? Specifically?
What kind of crime is it, are they gonna throw me in prison, take my guns, ban me from ever purchasing/carrying?
I live in the USA, RI to be specific
It's shall issue here, up to the police chief and basically no one gets one unless they are law enforcement, security, or work at a LGS
So I just received my nitrided bcg that I ordered from Aim Surplus today for my first 80% build.
Looks pretty good, but the gas key staking seems a bit light.
Could I use a vise and some thin hard steel wire to press the material and stake the bolts that way?
I don't want to take a hammer and punch and just smash the shit out of hardened steel plus I've heard doing that can damage the threads.
And I don't want to pay $70 and wait for the Brownell's staking tool.
>>30553237
>shall issue
>up to the police chief and basically no one gets one unless they are law enforcement, security, or work at a LGS
That doesn't sound like shall issue, that sounds like California-tier "may issue." Shall issue generally means they are required to issue one to you if you don't have any red flags like felonies and the like.
My best advice is to move to a different state, I can't comment on your communist laws, sorry m8.
>>30553237
Just check your concealed weapons laws m8. In my state (VA) its a felony to conceal without a permit. Also if its shall issue then they should automatically give it to you unless you can't own guns from my understanding of shall issue.
Just googled your state you are not shall issue you're a may issue state.
>>30553322
>>30553337
Then it's may issue-my mistake. I seem to have gotten them confused
Actually upon looking it up it said Shall issue for Attorney General, and May issue for local police.
But I know for fact that they will deny it if you don't have "good reason" to have it. I've looked up the process a few months ago, it involves getting local city council signature, three references and basically an essay as to why you need it
>"...if it appears that the applicant has good reason to fear an injury to his or her person or property or has any other proper reason for carrying a pistol or revolver, and that he or she is a suitable person to be so licensed."
I really don't wanna move, I love my state

This is the part that gets me
A letter must be submitted by all applicants stating a good or proper reason why a permit should be issued
and why the applicant is a suitable person to be licensed. Included in this letter must be a detailed explanation
as to how the applicant plans to properly secure his or her firearm so that it does not fall into unauthorized
hands. All letters must be original and dated. The City of Providence will not accept a photocopy of any letter
or signature.
* A letter of recommendation by all three references must be submitted by all applicants stating a good or
proper reason why a permit should be issued and why the applicant is a suitable person to be licensed. Included
in this letter must be the length of time the reference has known the applicant and an explanation as to the
nature of the relationship. All letters must be original, signed and dated. The City of Providence will not accept

Just purchased a Ruger 10/22 carbine non-takedown (store didn't have one sadly). Can u recommend ammo, a good cleaning kit, and a good case? Also a good deal on some cheap 25 round mags would be awesome.
I bought some cheap .22lr cartridges at the store, made by Auto Match, 325 rounds for 30 bucks. I heard from u guys the 10/22 will take pretty much anything, but will these rounds fuck up my gun? Thanks so much in advance /k/, first gun ever.
>>30553984
Youll be fine with pretty much everything. Its not recommended for stingers which if i remember correctly is slightly longer than regular shells they are also more expensive. Pretty much any cleaning kit and case too it hard to mess up. I recommend using bx25 magazines in my experience they are more reliable.
Pretty much you can get away with buying the cheapest stuff you can find for those things you listed.

Thanks for the mag recs. I'll just stick to the official Ruger ones for now because I think they look cool and the mechanism looks a little more sturdy and better designed. High five -o/ \o-
I have a legal question. This is the empty golf course behind my apartment complex, I wanted to use my air rifle as in pellet rifle there, would people call the cops I just want to shoot empty cans and beer bottles laying around. Is it legal? If the cops do get called can I get out of it by telling them it's a toy? Or will I get arrested? I live in arizona. Gun laws are sort of confusing to me
>>30555072
it's second degree criminal trespass just for you to be there without permission if anyone cares enough to call the cops about it, but they aren't too concerned about pellet guns in az.
>>30555405
Ok that makes sense. I think the city owns the golf course now since the last owner let it go to shit.
>>30555567
what's the name? we can check the tax records and possibly it's legal disposition, it may be open space if the city claimed it.
>>30555583
tomorrow maybe, bedtime for me.
>>30555583
It's been neglected and abandoned for 3 years, probably something like knox golf course. Or probably part of ahwatukee golf course and they just sold that part or something.
So I just found a bore snake in my house. I know what it's used for, which is cleaning the bore of firearms.
That being said, I have never bought a bore snake in my life. I'm more of a patch & jag kind of guy. Nobody else in this house owns firearms, just me.
What non-firearms use do bore snakes have?
What are NEF/H&R 12ga Pardners going for in your area? I've been looking for one to bastardize into pic related so I can carry it on my motorcycle easier but finding one is a pain in the ass. Out of 3 gun stores and no less then 8 pawn shops only one had one. They are asking $99.99+tax but are willing to go to $79.99 if I pay cash.
I've heard in other areas of the county you can pick them up for as little as $59 but all the online auctions and storefronts have high enough shipping fees (+ffl costs) that ordering one from another area seems like a loss.
Should I just buy the damn thing and hope that another one pops up eventually for a better price? There are still a couple of pawnshops and a couple of gun stores I haven't been to but I have low expectations that I'll find a single barrel break-open.
>>30554355
Thanks m80 I wish it was easier to find.
>>30556113
Convert, it is a sign from the serpent lord.
Try the bore snake. It is the greatest tool ever. You can never get a bore 100% clean with a patch and jag. You can get a bore spotless with a snake in a few seconds.
Not to mention a snake easier on the bore than a metal rod banging up on the insides of the muzzle.
>>30553602
Shield for single stack glock loses all of its benefits when you go to single stack.
Is there a threaded glock 29 barrel out there <$200?
there are glock 20 threaded barrels for $105 but for the 29 the cheapest I've found $240 which sucks man.

But in all seriousness, the AK is a fine platform, but as an American citizen the benefits of an AR15 over and AK make it the obvious choice for a first, second, and even third rifle.

I would guess you select firearm if building a suppressor but I didnt think a suppressor (or most other nfa items) were considered a DD. I thought a DD was a type of NFA item just as a suppressor, sbr, and such are nfa items.
Should i get a new vz61 skorpion in 32 or 9x18?

M&P shield. I installed meprolights on it however the set did not come with a set screw. I'm trying to contact them and MAKO but so far no response. I've already let the blue loctite cure overnight but hoping I can get through and have them send a set screw because the original screw is too large.

So a couple weeks ago I put in an order for a Beretta M9A1. The gun store has now told me that the Berettas are currently out of production and they do not know when it will be ready.
When I looked it up online it said they were "blued" so I thought they were selling used M9s.
They now tell me some customers have been on the waiting list for a year... They also have a retarded cancellation policy that will cost me 30% of the purchase price. WTF. Did I just get swindled?

Anyone ever heard of weaponizing (used/empty) CO2 powerlets? They are the tiny co2 tanks for some airguns.
Ideally, I'd want to fire them as a projectile, and I was thinking that I could exploit their high pressure nature to temporarily repressurize them until near high end, and them let them launch somewhat self-propelled.
I have heard of them being used to make blasting caps for larger explosives, but that's a bit boring to me.

That thing is shit, get the HMG one in whatever real caliber you want, and I think there is a more historically accurate one too from someone else.

I bought a Lee Enfield a little while ago, and although it seems to be in great condition in every other way, it turns out it has a rusty chamber.
The bore itself looks great, but cases are really hard to extract and have a lot of visible bumps on them where they've filled in the pitting.
The rust only seems to be in the bottlenecked section of the chamber.
Is there any way to fix it, or have I been sold a lemon?
what kind of mag conversion kit is the operator using in pic related to shoot 9mm out of a 5.56 mag body?
>>30568141
I believe that an old trick is to take a 20 gauge bore brush and chuck it up in a cordless drill then take JB abrasive "puddy" and just drill/polish the chamber. This should remove the rust and the pitting. Eric uses this method to remove cosmoline from a nugget chamber in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLL20Oh4P8M

I'm going to buy my first gun next week. I can either buy it from a gun store or a department store that also sells guns. What should I expect from the buying process? Is there some kind of etiquette to buying a gun? Which place would be more user friendly? I'm in Oregon, if it matters. The gun store is a small local place I know little about and the department store is Bi-Mart.
>>30568561
>What should I expect from the buying process?
Irrational nervousness as you fill out your first 4473
Irrational nervousness as you drive it home in your vehicle
As a rule department stores know nothing beyond what's printed on the box of the gun and gun store people may have knowledge beyond the obvious but they might also be a fudd or have some other dumb opinions.
>Which one is more user friendly
Gun store people are friendlier and can be expected to know about all the popular brands and models. If you were like me when I had autism and bought my first gun I felt the crushing weight of the gun store counter monkey's knowledge as he watched me handle the gun I was buying so I never felt comfortable doing anything while holding it or any other gun while in the store. Now I don't even think about it if I finger fuck the latest and greatest as the register biscuit stares on. I never felt that way in a big box store or department store as most are low 20s wage slaves that are lucky to know more than you.
>Is there some kind of etiquette to buying a gun?
You want to get a good look at it, even if its new and test everything on it, save the trigger if its a rimfire. Don't muzzle anyone while you do it.
Is there something about Ruger and Remington that I should know about?
A lot of people sing praises about these two makes, but their guns are stupid-cheap. How can something be really good and really affordable?
Given similar specs, a firearm from another make would be much higher priced. So if Ruger or Remington is selling it for $500, some other company is selling a comparable gun for over $1200.
How are they able to keep prices low?

Someone told me an AR chambered in .223 is more powerful than a "normal" rifle in the same caliber. Is this true or is that just anti bs? Are certain guns in the same caliber more powerful than others?
>>30571570
Please never buy a gun. The rifle does absolutely nothing but deliver the round accurately. The round itself will be the same regardless of what platform it comes from. A SAW and a M4 are equally as powerful because they use 5.56, one just shoots faster and more than the other.
>>30571570
If anything, it's less powerful, because a portion of the energy is used to cycle the action.
>>30571570
The only thing that will have any real impact on how powerful the round is is barrel length. And even there you need to match the gunpowder to the barrel length for best effect.

The sight post isnt the issue, its the entire sight itself. Drunk ivan put it on slightly crooked and it is driving me fucking nuts. Theres a marking on it too that shows where the sight post needs to be to be zeroed so it definitely came out of the factory this way. Still shootable but the sight post is moved all the way to the right.

Do you want a rifle or a handgun? Home defense or personal defense?
About the only pistol I would recommend for that price range is a P-64 but it uses 9x18 makarov which can be hard to get sometimes as you have to choose between cheap surplus or expensive defense rounds but you can CC it easily. You could get a Hi-point for less than 200 but it has the drawback of being a hi-point. If you take extra special care of it, use the right ammo, and buy a good aftermarket magazine or two for it a Hi-point can be mostly reliable.
A rifle I would recommend is is the Ruger 10/22 or the Marlin model 60 .22lr is still relatively cheap and plentiful. You might be able to find someone getting rid of a 12g shotgun near that price range too.
Honestly, if I were you I would at least try to afford something near the $300 price range as your options open up considerably, and fear buying isn't helpful.
>>30572809
Rifle or shotgun. I'll consider going up to $300+, just hate being a noguns right now and having to wait

Don't forget to factor in ammo costs, shipping, and FFL fees if you order online. Buy local/in-state if you can find comparable prices to online ones.

Any help nfa gods?
I'm building an AR with an older style hand guard (not a free float rail) and I'm having trouble with the barrel nut. I got it on tighened past 35 ft-lbs of torque, and it was just where one of the teeth was starting to get in the way. I tried going up to the next notch, but it wouldn't turn far enough. This may have been more of a problem with my cheapo vise attached to my desk than with the wrench or anything, but I'm pretty sure the torque is at about 50-60 ft-lbs which is about what it's supposed to be. But the nut tooth is still blocking the gas tube hole. So I'm looking at this and thinking that the inner surface of the nut is what holds it onto the receiver. The lockup between the bolt and the receiver extension is what contains the pressure of firing. If I were to just dremel off the edge of the tooth that's in the way, to get my gas tube in, would my gun asplode? I feel like it wouldn't. This is just an el cheapo build, so if it looks shitty but is safe to fire, I'm not that concerned with it. Input?
>>30573927
they give you a fat ass range so you can get it to a torque where you can align the gas tube. just loosen it or tighten it a bit more

If you are truly desperate to graduate to hasguns you can buy an older .22lr bolt action for around 70 bucks and put some cheap glass on them. As a bonus You can usually feed them every single flavor of .22 rimfire you want with no problems.

I have an 3.0 for a CZ P-07 and it hides it rather well, comfy too. Idk how well it'll hold a full size frame, but as long as the butt of your gun isn't at an odd angle you should be ok. The holster keeps it pretty close to your body. I know you can trade the hardshell out for another pistols whenever you get a smaller one, so that's a plus.

Anyone have an idea what broke or what happened?
i don't know much about firearms but i think i'm looking for a SA/DA or SA lightweight compact 9mm for pocket carry i'm looking at the Sig P938 are there any others i should consider? any like the Sig P938 but lighter?
Planning to carry two guns -in case of malfunction, for more ammunition, and to arm a second person if possible thus increasing odds. Guns will have to be small and compact in order to comfortably carry both at all times, every day. No extra mags needed since the combined capacity should be enough. Pocket gun (front left pocket .380) can be DAO because it would be faster to fire without thinking or worrying about where the hammer is or about where the safety is. Second pistol would be carried in middle of my pants with urban carry holster and would be a small 9mm. This would be the second option after using the first, either after emptying the first gun at enemies or after a possible malfunction or if applicable, arming a second person. This gun could be SA/DA or SA without as much concern for me. Does this sound silly? Looking specifically at the P-3AT kel tec or ruger lcp custom for the .380 pocket carry and between Sig P938 or Ruger LC9s Pro or kahr PM9 for the 9mm (i'll overlook that the Kahr PM9 is a DAO because besides that, it seems so nice)
Do I need a license to own a firearm in WA state?
Someone was telling me to get a concealed carry permit, is that just so I can show someone something so I don't have to get a new background check everytime I want to buy a gun or is having a concealed carry permit necessary for owning a gun in this state?

>>30580179

West Virginia my dude its purty here
Ok /k/ help a brother out. I live in good ole WV and we recently had our CC laws changed that people 18-21 can CC but they have to have a permit but 21+ can CC without a permit so my question is what could I CC befors im 21 minding that you still have to be 21 to buy handguns which I am not
>>30580609
Where do you work? Honestly its fucking dumb to carry 2 guns on person for most people different for cops. You should carry your main CC which ever you pick and an extra mag if you have room and then if you work in an office or something similar just off body carry a second gun in a small backpack/briefcase/messenger bag along with other useful job and shtf stuff like basic FAK, few protein bars, flashlight, knife, water and whatever else. Or just carry your main CC and leave a second in your vehicle. The main issue is it'll get old as fuck carrying 2 guns because the chance of you needing one is slim enough and you'll stop very quickly. Only really had experience with lc9 and no real complaints so I can't chime in much on that.
>>30572609
Are they new? I've been looking at a Ruger 556 and the average price seems to be around $550. From what I can see on the shotgun, they go for anywhere from ~$400 to $500,
>>30580696
walmart in the south, pretty sure its against policy but even if coworkers found out they would be super chill about it. I'm not afraid to carry to work but i'm moving to get some work at a warehouse in tulsa which should be no problem. Only problem with all of this is that i have a road bike that i ride around town. Would pocket carry still be an option or can i use something like a urban holster for directly in front of pants? I really don't want to have to keep it in my backpack while riding. Bike riding by the way, would be very light considering i'll be using the bus system as well.
>>30580737
depends mostly on what you wear will dictate if you can pocket carry. I can't answer that
>>30580737 here
>>30580696
this is all why it was most important for very lightweight guns. Altogether it would weigh only 27oz altogether for both the P-3AT kel tec and kahr PM9 both loaded. Only and ounce difference than just the Glock 26 for example
>>30580788 here
but in this instance instead of one "heavy" gun, i can spread the weight a bit with my method. Is this such a terrible tactic?
>>30571610
Please never give advice. It's a legitimate question for someone new to guns that hears everything spouted from antis and fudds.
>It's like you want more people to hate guns and shun gun ownership by making it into a rude club, you unsocialized ass.
>>30580788
kek you didn't have to tell me who you were. It's not just about weight its about size too. Again you can do whatever you want and don't have to justify yourself. You will quit carrying them though if you try to carry multiple guns. Sure it weighs however much but most people won't even carry a glock 26 because it's too big/heavy.
>>30580850
Again most people won't even carry their CC all the time.
The goal of a CC gun for most people should be to in order of importance assuming that its already reliable: carriable all the time, easy to hit with, acceptable capacity, acceptable caliber, comfortable to shoot.
Your CC is not your SHTF gun. Your EDC is not your SHTF load out. Your CC is a <7ft distance 1v1 gun.
If you don't carry all the time then there is just about no point in getting a carry gun at all.
If anything pick up the smaller CC gun of the possible 2 you feel the need to carry and start with that.
Additional points to consider.
I live in Virginia, it get hot as fuck here, probably the same were you live. Your not going to be able to carry 2 guns without printing in most pairs of shorts.
Since you don't seem to possess a vehicle and ride public trans/bike carrying two guns will be significantly more of a hindrance than if you had a vehicle because you have to be able to conceal them your whole commute/travel time with people around.
what to expect out of a Marlin 60? cleaning difficulty, picky with ammo, awkward ergo?
or is it all A ok?
>>30580959
I would personally spend the extra $50 and get a 10/22
>>30581002
for what good reason?
>>30580942
thanks for your input bro, i don't know anything about firearms. i'm not sure if it would bother me as much if the weight is split. like if you could cut that glock in half and spread the weight evenly throughout your body it wouldn't have near as much of an impact. i really want to believe that i could pull this off and not have a problem. I really don't want to ever have to buy any other guns besides these and i'll have both ammo sizes covered in case of ammo price problems down the line. (besides all of this i plan on eventually building an ar-15 in case of catastrophic emergency mode)
>>30581026
Well for me personally I would prefer magazine fed with plenty of spare parts available. The ability (not requirement) to customize is nice too. They can eat any ammo other than stingers. I like the option for a 10, 15 or 25 round magazines. It doesn't have to look different than the marlin if you prefer wood stocks too.
>>30552562
Out of curiosity what is the U setting on VZ-58 sights for? I've heard some folk say it's supposed to be a universal setting so you don't adjust sights between targets from 100 to 200 meters but that doesn't sound right at all considering how high up the setting puts the sights.
Right now I'm kinda thinking it's some kind of 25 meters setting assuming your sights are zero'd at 100 meters.
>>30581075
the tube mag is what attracts me this mag limit in cali is gay as fuck so the 15 capacity mag is nice
any sort of difference between the two guns aside from the mag and after market? Feed issues or somethin?
>>30581132
Sorry m8 thought you lived in the US. I would pick the Marlin if it got around the magazine limit. I doubt there are any issues. I don't have too much trigger time on the Marlin only shot one a few times and it worked fine.
If I'm going to be spending multiple nights at a time camping inside a temperate rainforest, do I need to get a special rain-resistant gun (laminate or composite, stainless barrel, etc.) or will any old wood and steel rifle do?
>>30580381
They are just shorter. You might have some issues with the "funnel" that the shot is poured down being too high up, maybe?
Still should be very doable.

Would having the little dangling thing on it be grounds to have my dog killed, or is it not considered a forward grip?
>>30584702
bump
i really wanna know about the dangle foregrip
So how screwed am I if I have a 20 inch barrel on my upper in a SHTF or home-defense scenario?
Everything I read online tells me that 16 inch (or 14.5+1.5 muzzle break) is optimal for home defense and SHTF, but I am just so in love with the original 20 inch design.
>>30584935
At the ranges of home defense, a 10 inch barrel would be plenty. At those ranges you want maneuverability, the loss in muzzle velocity will mean very little to you.
As short as you can go is the answer.
>>30584702
>>30584918
That's an interesting question.
I'd say you could always argue that it's more of a sling than a foregrip, and that way it's legal.
>>30585017
Thanks. I think I'll just do another build then to be safe.
I think I remember reading somewhere that an AR pistol or SBR upper has to have a dedicated lower for said upper, so I'd have to do a complete build, right (i.e., can't just swap uppers)?
>>30583555
I was thinking the problem would be finding a wad for them/ensuring the press can crimp the end shut
>>30583817
Age and is cc legal?
If you can cc and don't have a gun I recommend that. Also if you have a reason for an optic like shooting yotes or something I would argue for that. If not consider buying a form 1 suppressor stamp and just hold on to your money for now.
>>30585083
>I think I remember reading somewhere that an AR pistol or SBR upper has to have a dedicated lower for said upper, so I'd have to do a complete build, right (i.e., can't just swap uppers)?
The ATF tends to frown upon it because otherwise selling SBR uppers would make it too easy to circumvent their little tin-pot dictator rules.
>>30585083
You can't just put an AR pistol upper on a rifle lower, no. You would have to get an SBR and go through the hoops.
If 16 inches is as short as you can go, which it is for non-NFA, that's what I'd do for a rifle. That's speaking with legal concerns in mind. If you were willing to do NFA and thinking only about practicality, a 10.3 barrel would be the way to go.
You could just be a weirdo a do an AK pistol or something for maximum shortness in a rifle caliber.
If I get accepted to a US college what are the chances I can get a job and stay there? Is a permanent resident visa the only one that I can buy guns with?
>>30553237
Man, that sucks, and would make me nervous as hell about carrying when it could get you a felony charge and forever preclude you from even owning one at home in the future.
I say it's a bad idea to carry illegally, period. Find a legal way. You're carrying for self defense - and when you need to use it, you're basically setting yourself up to get charged yourself, so the self defense better be 100% worth it. In the meantime, you get pulled over at a traffic stop or run into trouble of some other kind and it gets found on you, you're screwed.
Some ideas: see if your state has an exception for "antique firearms" that makes carrying replicas not require a permit. Then find out whether that extends to concealed carry or just open carry or both. Then pick yourself up a replica Remington 1858 from Cabela's for $300 and get familiar with it.
Depending on the state, this can be a defensive option, but it's less than ideal.
If you fill out the forms and are denied (write a letter to the police chief, get denial in writing), you may be in *slightly* better shape if you end up having to use it. Sure, you're going to get arrested, but maybe - just maybe - your attorney can work a "necessity" defense for you with the right facts and a lot of money.

Sights are great, no floppy/rattly mag well, seems decently put together. Got better accuracy than any AK I've ever shot.
