    New ATF rule for firearm sales

    Not that simple when dealing with the feds. They will bankrupt you before you win. Knowing someone who got tangled with the feds (he never committed a crime) they make life unpleasant for a long time.

    Suppressor Timetables

    Individuals seem to be quick. Trusts, not so much. I have 6 outstanding, including a form 1 from October. I did get notification that my nics delay cleared yesterday, but still no approvals. Got my senator involved and that seemed to help, but still took 2 weeks from them requesting an...

    Reintroduced gray wolf found dead in Larimer County, Colorado

    Elbert county is front range. Used to live in elbert, but not elbert county. Wolves in that area will lead to conflicts with people.

    2024 Tacoma- anyone bought one, drove one—thoughts?

    It’s a sr5 sport. It has car play, but only if wired. They were cheap with the chipset. Might be no keyless ignition due to being a manual. One other gripe, the floor mats would get stuck in the clutch pedal. Checked with service and only one version was available, ordered one from weather...

    2024 Tacoma- anyone bought one, drove one—thoughts?

    While this is completely a first world problem, Toyota is way behind on electronics for the Tacoma. Not sure if the new ones are better, but my 21 doesn’t have keyless entry or the blue tooth bandwidth to support CarPlay. In todays market I expect both of those things in a new vehicle.

    New ATF rule for firearm sales

    This is by design. If it’s actually defined, say only 1 per month or quarter, then it’s easy to know if you are in compliance or not. If it’s squishy, then the prosecutor can make it what fits the case.

    2024 Tacoma- anyone bought one, drove one—thoughts?

    I got a 21’ as it was one of only two trucks left that are available in a manual, jeep gladiator is the other. After owning a 01 taco I swore I wouldn’t ever get another one. That one was awful suspension, too soft springs and too much damping. Wallowed with a pad and harsh as heck on...

    Woman’s shotguns

    As you said it’s all about fit. I would try to find a club that rents shotguns first, then have her try shouldering different guns. You might even need a fitting after buying to get it just right. I have found I need different length of pull for upland hunting depending on time of year and...

    Gas Vehicles - Are you concerned new Biden Admin EPA regulations on gas vehicle emissions will restrict or negatively impact your ability to hunt?

    Honestly if you only drive 30-40 miles per day a bolt will go 3 days easily. You may find that you really like it for a grocery getter. I liked mine, but doesn’t have the range for where I live now. Btw it’s almost as fast as a mid 80’s mustang GT.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I have a friend who has his distinguished rifle man badge. Dude can shoot. Wind reading skills are far beyond what I will ever achieve. Best range story, he was on the line with a guy shooting a 300 win mag at 300 yards. Buddy was shooting standing with a sling. 300 wm guy was on bags off...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    You can check the brass for stretch/thinning with a L shaped pick. Run it up the inside of the case and if you can feel a valley/ridge forming at the case head, you are getting close.

    New ATF rule for firearm sales

    Reading the faq it really doesn’t sound like anything changed. Tried the read the rule, but it sounded like it was written by AI. Lots of words, but no real specifics. sounds like you can still occasionally get a table at a gun show and sell without a license or background check provided...

    Gas Vehicles - Are you concerned new Biden Admin EPA regulations on gas vehicle emissions will restrict or negatively impact your ability to hunt?

    I highly doubt that ice will go away. There is simply no other energy source that can equal liquid hydrocarbons for transportation. Batteries need almost a 10x increase to meet current fuel densities. It’s not like EV‘s are new. They have existed for over 120 years. It was only recently...

    Gas Vehicles - Are you concerned new Biden Admin EPA regulations on gas vehicle emissions will restrict or negatively impact your ability to hunt?

    that’s much better economics than I found. For us after time of day service, we were $.06/kwh off peak 10pm to 7am. Peak was $.28/kwh. So if charging 100% at night, similar to your calculations and what I did for the most part. 120k ev miles in 4 years. If having to charge during peak hours...

    Are “Plugged” lever guns legal in your state’s straight wall season?

    for Iowa, early muzzle is only muzzle loaders. Late muzzle is either muzzle loader or pistol meeting rifle criteria (35 cal or larger). Not sure I have witnessed increased pressure due to allowing pistols, but shotguns have quickly been replaced with rifles meeting the new 35 cal or larger...

    Clay pigeons on pasture

    Down range used to make a biodegradable wad. Not sure if they still do. Even then it takes a few years to break down.

    Gas Vehicles - Are you concerned new Biden Admin EPA regulations on gas vehicle emissions will restrict or negatively impact your ability to hunt?

    I voted no as by the time they have a real impact or if it even happens I won’t be doing any hunting that requires long range. I have owned an ev, two in fact. Don’t own either anymore. Todays tech just isn’t there for corner cases in the Midwest. It simply can’t get the job done.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I too found that my hunting is short ranges and a subsonic 45-70 can take anything I want. Lowish recoil, quiet with a can. It’s a ton of fun to ring the 150 yard plate (longest target of my home range) with a pistol that sounds like an airgun. I too got a Marlin last summer, beautiful gun...

    Gun Safes

    Realize what your buying as a “safe” isn’t a safe, but a locking storage container. Basically a job box shaped like a safe. I have had the big box store versions and now have one from zanotti armory. Went that way as they are assemble in place which meant I could do the installation myself...

    How to get an accurate G1 BC number? Is it even possible?

    If you don’t have access to a 500+ yard range, you can get an approximate bc from a radar chronograph. this won’t be a popular choice, find someone who has a LabRadar and set it to return 25,50,75, and 100 yard velocities. Then plug that into a BC calculator. It will quickly tell you if it’s...
