I’d never sell it, but I am curious what it’s worth for insurance purposes. To me it’s priceless.

I saw this from a clip on IG and have many questions lol.

They just look so cool. I know that in the end they where impractical aswell as bulky but come on... THEY HAVE AURAAAA

Jesus Christ.

Not only a home-made firearm, but a 50?
Still trying to figure out how it works.. slam-fire?

Has anyone ever had this issue with EO Tech 552? I had it on my 9 mm and today I got about four rounds into shooting. I heard a small pop and I completely lost the radical and when I started looking at it, there’s a loose piece of glass inside of it. Is there something that EO tech will cover?

I shipped a long gun sold through Gunbroker with USPS ground and purchased 1000 insurance on the package. I double checked the excluded items for the insurance:

The gun was stolen (I am assuming) as it has not had a single scan in over two weeks. I have had items randomly pop back up and start moving again at random but I am well within my time frame to claim a loss. I submitted my insurance claim for theft and was denied as they "do not insure firearms". This will likely be a battle to get covered but just wanted to put this as a big FYI out to everyone... Do NOT use Pirateship for firearms. When purchasing insurance on Pirateship, you are not purchasing traditional USPS insurance but through another carrier called UPSCapital that does not cover firearms. Fortunately I have archived the web page with these terms and conditions.

EDIT: Ok I just found this article

Clearly the person processing my claim is clueless.

For anyone following the ATF’s NFA enforcement shift: Wisconsin statutes still tie suppressor and SBR legality to federal registration, so owners here face Class H felony risk until Madison updates the law.

On Friday, Oct 9, DOJ and ATF announced they will no longer require approval or registration under the NFA for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs, nationwide. This follows the Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF / Jensen v. ATF ruling in August. (The $200 tax on these items was already cut to $0 on Jan 1, 2026.)

But there's a big catch for Wisconsin. ATF's change is an enforcement policy. It doesn't repeal the NFA, and ATF says it doesn't change state law. Under Wis. Stat. § 941.298 (suppressors) and § 941.28 (SBRs and SBSs), possession is a Class H felony (up to 6 years and $10,000) unless you've "complied with the licensing and registration requirements under 26 USC 5801 to 5872." No Wisconsin court has ruled on how that applies now.

Until Madison fixes this, don't assume an unregistered suppressor or SBR is legal in Wisconsin. ATF is still processing Form 1s and Form 4s voluntarily, "because many state laws require individuals to register NFA firearms." Don't deregister anything you already own, since ATF says those items can't be re-registered later. You still need a Form 20 to take an SBR or SBS across state lines.

Subject: Please update Wis. Stat. §§ 941.298 and 941.28 after the ATF's NFA change

Dear Senator [Last Name] and Representative [Last Name],

I'm a law-abiding gun owner in your district. Please introduce, co-sponsor, or support legislation to amend Wis. Stat. § 941.298(3)(c) and § 941.28(4).

On October 9, 2026, ATF announced it will no longer require federal approval or registration under the National Firearms Act for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns. Wisconsin law makes the legality of these items depend on compliance with federal NFA registration under 26 U.S.C. §§ 5801–5872, so responsible Wisconsin residents are now stuck in legal uncertainty, facing possible Class H felony charges under a federal system that is no longer being enforced.

Please remove the federal registration condition from these statutes so Wisconsin law matches current federal policy and responsible gun owners aren't left facing felony risk.

Thank you. I'd appreciate hearing your position on this.

Sincerely, [Your Name] [Street Address] [City, WI ZIP]

Not legal advice. Talk to an attorney about your own situation.

One of my customers is a gun broker, and he’s giving me first pick. (the pearl handle 1911 is mine already) there’s 2 different AK’s , a colt 1911 with the black grip, and a Remington model 12

Im sure this has been discussed in several online articles and even other reddit communities but I wanted to gauge the group's thoughts on how the community is evolving and what that means for roles. For all intents and purposes, please chime in on your philosophy for this topic or your strategy in how youve set up your collection.

Although the AR15 reigns supreme as the do it all platform, I am seeing more people around me turning to pistol caliber carbines and even lever guns and bolt action rifles. For example, I have a friend who only shoots 556 through a bolt gun and uses a 45 caliber carbine. I have another friend who shoots an AR in 9mm and has a 308 lever gun. Interestingly, both these guys love ARs but have shifted their set ups.

What do you guys think? Are you seeing more guys go traditional on rifles and pistol calibers for semi auto?

In light of recent (fake) news that Ruger is discontinuing this product line, I decided it was my time to shine. My Ruger SR1911 Commander, a dedicated BBQ gun for when I wanna impress someone. Swapped a couple parts; rounded mainspring housing, Ed Brown magwell, faux-pearl grip panels with gold screws, and an unseen full-length guide rod and extended slide release. All polished and fit to the pistol by your truly, and it shoots nice and controllably as a result. Hammer and trigger are fine, but I've considered that Nighthawk trigger kit for when I have some money to blow, along with an Ed Brown threaded barrel. Pairs quite well with my shoulder holster, and another of my pistols that are getting passed down

In "The Quick and the Dead", John Herod takes Cort to a gun store, ran by the Kid. When Cort reveals he has no money, Herod offers to spot Cort a pistol and requests the "cheapest piece of crap in the whole store."

The kid plops down a rusted POS in .38 Long Colt for five bucks.

What is the cheapest gun you own that you'd trust your life to?

I'll go first.

Ruger Max-9 with an O sight green dot, riding in a We The People IWB holster.

Gun- $250 at Academy.

O sight was $150 on Amazon.

Holster was $30 on sale.

All in for less than $500.

Pistols, shotguns, rifles - any are game. Let's see em!

Are there any metal printing services that will print designs and ship to ffls if required? As far as I'm aware thread adapters and non-suppressor muzzel devices don't require any special handling as long as they are US made, but if I wanted to have parts made professionally and by the book is there any easy way to do it?

I am about to make my first p365 build, and was planning to use the X-macro grip module with a Radian backstrap/magwell combo.

I live in Illinois so I have a 15rd capacity limit, and there is even legal grey area in getting capacity reduced 17rd mags. It seems that PMAG's 15rd mags do not fit very well at all (see second image).

On another post I saw someone recommend Tactical Development’s XM-15 basepad that can be attached to a P365/X/XL 15RD mag; however, it says directly on their site that "Tapered to fit in a magwell. (Does not fit Radian Arms Magwell)". Can anyone confirm whether this is true or untrue?

If anyone has any solutions that work well and are relatively flush, please let me know!

Can anyone verify this? Seems crazy if true.

Dad’s birthday is coming up-I was thinking about getting him some things, but wanted to run it by people that might think more like him. I tried asking my mom, but she’s no help. And if she mentions anything to my dad and he likes it he buys it for himself so… can’t do that.

For some background he’s retired 20+yrs military, goes to the range every weekend with his friends. He has mainly pistols and some AR’s. Some hunting rifles but not as many since I moved out.

For a main big gift i wanted to grab him a new pistol carry case. I’m between 2, I’ll link the Amazon url so you guys can see.

A (up to) 6 pistol with a highly configurable foam insert for gear like his ear pro plus lots of mag slots depending on set up

https://a.co/d/0afKxk3Z

Or this one from a more reputable brand BUT the foam isn’t configurable so it would be whatever he can fit in the top plus his pistols.

https://a.co/d/005XHv2C

If you were getting one which would you prefer? I plan on stocking it with new electronic ear pro, a new cleaning kit and some ammo plus a new nine line tshirt. Thanks!

Does this thread adapter exist? I’ve tried looking online everywhere and I can’t seem to find it…. Don’t get this confused by your standard 5/8 x 24. I need the x 18 for an oil filter I bought at autozone today. Any help is appreciated and would also offer some money to anyone who can special make this for me. Thank you!

Just picked up this 1886 Lebel today. Can anyone tell me anything about its history?

If you are laser bore sighting a rifle at 5 yards for a 36 yard zero using one of those targets you can print out to adjust for the short distance . Where do you put your laser mounted underneath? With the reticle or the point of impact bore sight laser

I have a 5.56 Ruger MPR with an 18in barrel and I really want to get a suppressor with the recent changes that have been made. I’m fairly ignorant to a lot of the mechanics inside the gun but I’ve been told that it runs very gassy stock. The can im looking at getting is the B&T PRINT-XH RBS 5.56 which from what I’ve seen online has nothing but great reviews. Should I get an adjustable gas block? What does that do? Overall im really just looking to see what all I need to do to be able to shoot my ar with this can. Do I need to buy any sort of adapter? Does it come with what I need? Any recommendations on other cans? No plan to shoot full auto but would like the capability to do so. Shopping on silencer shop. Please drop some knowledge 🙏

CVA Cascade .308

Rifle was punching horrible groups and very inconsistent. After a little while, I found 1 action screw very loose. Took everything apart and did a super thorough cleaning including scope, rings, base. Currently I’m getting 5” groups at 50 yards. Everything feels solid, torqued to specs. Is it possible the damage has been done to the action or stock? I’m looking into getting pillar sleeves. How do I find the correct size?

Sold a 6.5 CM Bergara B-14 that was collecting dust to buy that HUXWRX can you see on my 11.5 PSA SBR build.
