I renewed my FFL a year hand a half ago. Sent in the payment by check. After a month they cashed it and issued a new license two days later. The applications sit on a desk until they get to em.

I can see why they have changed the packaging. A Las Vegas NRA and NVFAC member had this NRA package delivered with a note from a postal employee. A complaint has been filed with the postal...

I guess I've been lucky. I never had a problem shipping firearms with USPS. I have a few good customers ship long guns to with me no problem for finish work, and I've had a couple of numbskulls that...

Same experience here. I was issued a FFL license for my new home based business last October. 67 days from submission to receiving the FFL. And of course a 30 minute interview with the local ATF...

I've got one in 410. It'll also take a 45 Long Colt. It was my brother's. He picked it up somewhere in Florida.

I never had any luck with Flexeril when it has been prescribed for me. After taking on and off for a few months for severe back spasms, I had no relief at all. A nurse practitioner was standing in...

I have one that I use for detail cleaning of mainly old handguns. I use it with carburetor dip cleaner. After they are striped and run through about a 30 minute cycle everything comes out spotless....

My condolences on the loss of your father.
Well the first of the two is on its way to rehabilitation. Installed a very serviceable used barrel. Turned the barrel for proper cylinder gap, headspace is spot on. Then it took a trip through the...
Sometimes, but not always. I picked up 20 Model 64's from one agency in Virginia a few years back, and 15 of them had never been used. They had sat in the armory rack for so long that the factory...
I'm in 100% agreement with both statements. I have a Model 19, made in 1977 with about 30,000 rounds of 158gr bullets in both jacketed and lead through it with no signs of wear like in these model...
Swapping out barrels on a pair of S&W Model 64-6's. I've heard that running the light weight 357 magnum loads were hard on the K frame forcing cones. It looks like it's not much better running the...

I'm replacing a Colt cylinder Assembly, ratchet & hand. Could any one point me in the right direction to a in depth book with details covering the timing of these replacement parts?

My favorite quot in the article, beside referencing the cast boolits site, is "he was a cheap bastard and would likely end up right back in the ICU if they wasted all those primers." Tell me you...

I loved reading this this morning. I think the names were changed to protect the innocent.

I'm just gonna throw this out there. If you think you are going to want silver for a SHTF situation, you should consider not only silver dollars or one ounce rounds. Include some halves, quarters and...
Sure looks a heck of a lot better the what I'm doing for roll crimps on my drill press. I have dedicated MEC's in 410 16 20 12 &10 for shotshells. The only ones I shoot slugs in are the 12 & 20 and...
This question has puzzled me for a while now. I do understand the difference in shotgun barrels when it comes to shotshell lengths. If firing a 3 inch shell in a chamber for 2 3/4 inches you will...

I decided to take the plunge. I have a few firearms that I've wanted to refinish. I also recently picked up a couple of new 30 Cal carbine barrels that are in the white for my IBM & Winchester...

I've seen that happen to my buddy. Case length was off and too thick of a case neck. Pulled his bullets, trimmed to the proper length, and sorted out cases that had to case necks too thick. The cases...
