I bought an AR trigger jig today.

 

[backbencher]

Picked up a MAS 36 sporter in .257 Roberts w/ a non-functional tang safety, $50 from a buddy:

 

[backbencher]

It broke clean through b/c of the safety mechanism channel. Someone got it back together, but the safety doesn't work as intended. Safety's going away, SARCO has wood.

 

[backbencher]

Turkish?

 

[backbencher]

If you ever find a source for 18" to 20" barrels plz let me know

 

[backbencher]

So saw off the rib and install a sight?

Sig Sauer P320 Compact 45acp.

Nice. Supposedly you can convert the .45 to smaller calibers, but you lose the takedown safety feature if you do. There's an aftermarket 80% being sold, but you basically have to have an entire gun for the parts.

My latest purchase. RIA MAPP MS 22TCM9R. It's a TANGFOLIO WITNESS P. basically. They make the parts and Rock Island assembles them in the Philipines.

Interesting CZ-75. Be interested in what velocities you get from that.

I partnered up with a friend of mine who's an FFL on a group gun purchase; it appears I've got myself a Sheridan Knocabout. He'll be shipping it to me on my C&R so I won't see it for couple weeks.

Actually saw one of those those today @ the Belton gunshow. Was asking $300 for it. Thanks to you I knew what it was. Was also able to snag 4x pre-ban AR 30 rounders to send your way for $20. One floorplate is dented it, but should work fine. All black followers, the anodizing's worn down to gold. Distribute as you wish at your cost.

 

[backbencher]

No, no, don't send any money. They're free. A small blow for the 2nd Amendment in Massachusetts.

Take a look @ the bore, is the bore concentric to the outside of the bbl?

 

[backbencher]

And you need a ffl to be legally buying guns to turn a profit I thought.

It's legal to improve your collection - not legal to be engaged in the business w/o an FFL. What constitutes that, is rather unclear, but grandfathers have been convicted for selling barrels of SKSs back in the day.

 

[backbencher]

Private sales are perfectly legal - but running a firearms sales business w/o an FFL is not. I'd just leave the word profit out of internet posts - you'd hate to have your wife find out in court how much you really spend on guns.

 

[backbencher]

who said I made a profit? after I paid my expenses I showed a net loss

...but its not like I could turn much of a profit if I wanted to sell them today.

If you don't use that word, nobody will warn you that ATF looks for folks that use that word in relation to gun sales.

 

[backbencher]

The only way they could find out how many guns someone sells, or if they think they are in the business, is if they start tracking all the classifieds and things of that nature to get an idea of the volume since there is no record of any cash transaction.

That's not very difficult. Google pretty much does that for em. When you start using words like volume and profit, that's probably when you should consider getting an FFL.

Cant resist a bargain. Armscor 3 in 1, 12Gauge. $199 plus shipping. Made in Turkey, sold by Armscor with headquarters in the Phillipines.

Looks an awful lot like an 870?

 

[backbencher]

If I remember correctly, that is a copy of a old Hi Standard.

That sounds right. I may snag one of those Chinese 870 clones this next year.

 

[backbencher]

That's pretty good. Let us know how the Rossi shoots. Nothing wrong w/ the S&W other than it's yet another perfectly decent S&W rimfire pistol they discontinued after a decade.

 

[backbencher]

That's the Chinese one? I picked up an Unbranded AR plastic lower today from my FIL. Ordered 3 for under $100 shipped, I picked up that one and one other gun, left the other two lowers for my BIL as Christmas gifts.
