    Unheard Voices

    This is true of the whole country. Cities are blue, rural is red. Cities have so many more people they control the politics. Illinois and California are two other examples. This is why there is an electoral college at the federal level, If it didn’t exist the big states on the coasts would...

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    My understanding is no. The actor should get the gun from the armorer who has reviewed it to be ready for whatever camera shot is taking place. Ie blanks, hero shot, etc. The condition of the gun falls on the armorer. Then after the camera shots the gun goes right back to the armorer. This...

    First suppressor. Do everything.

    I think it’s not reasonable to do pistol and rifle with a single can. I have banish 46 and a jk armaments 155. Both 45 cal cans. Both rated for a 45-70 rifle. The Banish is a rifle can, long, big diameter and heavy (22oz). The JK is a pistol can (9.5 oz) rated to be used on a 45-70. Not...

    AB Raptor 2 supressor?

    I would guess that the 2 stack is hardly a silencer. I have a 10 stack and it’s pretty quiet on my 35 cal rifles. I probably should have got an 8 stack, but instead got a 7 stack A-10 in Stainless as it’s cheap 450 ish. A within an oz of the 8 stack and half the $$. The A-10 223 is a 5...

    Suppressor wait times

    I believe the ruling for sharing and not on a trust is can’t be out of your control. Is that a big deal, maybe depending on how you hunt. Same with how you store it. If wife can access the safe, that’s not ok if it’s an individual. Would it ever be enforced, probably not, but I don’t want to...

    Bulk shotgun shells

    Sportsmans warehouse used to give a 10% off if you bought a flat. Could get a flat for $54. Always liked 1 oz at 1080 for a factory load. Now I load my own and run 7/8 at 1250.

    Down vs Synthetic Sleeping Bags

    I am a down fan. Pack small and light yet are warm. Something different about how warm it is vs synthetic. Not that synthetics don’t work, but down is just better. My wife finally wore out the bag we got 25 years ago. 1-2 bike trips per year so somewhere over 100 nights. Store them in the...

    9 months, should I just buy another suppressor?

    You can also cancel a submission and resubmit, but if it’s already in queue, why? If you are 9 months, you have an issue on a background check. You can confirm this by calling the atf and asking about the status. It will either be one of two stages, waiting on background check or in process...

    Would you Deny a FFL Transfer over this?

    Would depend if it’s a common model or a I have been looking for years for one. Common, I would refuse it and get a different one. If it was something that I had been looking for and could not find easily, time to negotiate a partial refund and get it fixed or live with it.

    What’s going on with the Factory Hornady 7 PRC ammo?????

    It is if it’s a different powder. Different burn speed, so it hits pressure at lower speeds.

    Suppressor wait times getting faster

    No, it doesn’t matter. They have automated the process and provided your background goes through quickly it’s a quick approval. If you do a trust or your name is common, then the background check is the delay.

    Inguinal Hernia & surgery?

    I had 3 done at one time and no way I could have made that trip on that timeframe. Would have been 6-8 months before I could do that. My step dad, had a single done and he might have been able to make the trip. Really depends on the person and the surgery.

    1 large or 2 medium size gun safes?

    I would go large. The advantage of a big safe is the height. When I got into long range and shotguns, I needed more height. If moving is an issue , zanotti armory. Their safes come apart. Heaviest part is the door. Maybe it’s just me, but I won’t store powder, ammo, primers in a safe...

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    Your trap has a latch like we added to the one I have. So the mfg has made changes to address the flaw.

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    Coons easily break out of the live traps. The locking bar can slip if they push hard enough and they can. The trap I used was modified by adding a secondary lock to keep that from happening. Now they don’t get out.

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    Check you state laws on relocation. Iowa, it is not legal to relocate. You either have to let it go where trapped or dispose of it.

    A few suppressor questions

    Note that a few cans like the scythe have brakes as the front of the can. I have not tried one yet, but I hear they do make a difference that can be detected. The down side is they are louder. If you search you should find a test or two.

    A few suppressor questions

    Longer barrels are slightly quieter. It’s not much, maybe a few db at most. Not enough to be something I would chase. Length and weight are a bigger issue imho. Length is less important than having a bunch of weight hanging 2 ft in front of your hands. Where I hunt I often shoot offhand and...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Probably the same reason really long range shooters use them. Better BC and more powder so they can go further before going too slow for the bullet to work. I don’t think modern sniper rifles are ultralight 8 lb rifles either. Even those who suggest using a 223 know it won’t make a 800+ yard...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I agree, small and fast is not the same as big and slow. I started to use large (45) cal subsonics last year. Took two whitetail and the big slow bullets seemed to put the deer down faster. No idea why, but neither went far. The two years before I used 35 cal rifles and was successful, but...
