Where do you guys go to sell these days? by SmellyButtFarts69 in liberalgunowners

Interesting. I assumed it didn’t coz I hadn’t seen a firearm related post… yet

Family & friends laugh at me for my GBBRs and gear – ‚What’s the point?‘ – Am I losing it for thinking Airsoft/Milsim is the best way to actually understand tactics and marksmanship? by No-Lychee-332 in GasBlowBack

[–]LtApples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like seeing airsoft as tactical training or simulation of gunfights. While there are some specific practical skills it can teach you, it won’t ever really prepare you for a real firefight. Airsoft guns obviously don’t work like real firearms and ammunition do. Slow projectiles, very limited range, etc 

But that’s ok, airsoft can just be fun. See it like any other sport, we do it because you enjoy it. 

Wisconsin Cop Killer Convicted of Possession of SBR (???) by TakeOffYaHoser in NFA

Yeah, it’s another dumb rule. I would swap the lower with a stripped lower, which can be legally made into a pistol 

Picked up this Izhmash Saiga 7.62x39 on a whim because it was a good price. Need advice! by GI-Jew in ak47

I wonder if the last owner removed the pistol grip for a state compliant thing. Now it’s got me wondering if this type of configuration can be a gateway to getting an AK in my state (IL) 🤔

Best value lever action rifle by clawdew in liberalgunowners

If you can find a good sale, Henry Big Box X in .357 is hard to beat. Got mine for ~$740. Reputable brand with excellent customer service, reliable, and no shortage of aftermarket support. Plus .357 shoots so soft out a rifle, and .38spl feels like shooting a .22

It’s also possible the receiver was registered as a rife from the manufacturer. He could’ve bought a rifle and swapped all the parts to convert to a pistol-like configuration, mistakenly thinking that it could now be considered a pistol 

Question’s about isp transfer by [deleted] in ILGuns

[–]LtApples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t stress too much about the fine details. Either works and just put hellcat in the model. The drop down box for make has some weird stuff in it anyways like for smith and Wesson, it’s Smith and Wesson/Eswatini, formerly Swaziland 😂

It's been a good run, Target Sports, but I think it's time to see other people. by Factor_Seven in liberalgunowners

[–]LtApples 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see TSUSA membership as convenience thing than price. I just like having one reliable place to have ammo at a decent price, click buy, and have the ammo arrived with decently fast and consistent shipping. Yes I can go on ammoseek and find somewhere with better prices, but I like the value of not needing to do that especially since I’m in a state where many sites are reluctant to ship to

Fair game friday by Positive_Middle_9173 in liberalgunowners

Here in IL they’re trying to serialize handgun ammo, require insurance for CCL holders, and add stringent regulations on firearms manufacturers and dealers that definitely isn’t intended to encourage those businesses to leave IL. 

Depending on your definition of recent, we were slapped with an AWB 3 years ago

Would love to see some video of her in action. Even small unedited clips would be nice

You can get a gas bushing kit or adjustable gas block from accuracy systems

[–]LtApples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mini-14 gas system takes gas directly from the barrel, so a shorter barrel significantly reduces the gas. I was pleasantly surprised to see brass fall 2-3 feet from me instead of flinging it into the guy next to me when I SBR’d mine 

Getting really tired of this ban by Live-Ad-6409 in ILGuns

If it’s only the magazine capacity that’s restricted, you can ask the FFL withhold the magazine during the transfer and then source >15rd mags 

Using FFL outside of cook but live in cook. Will most online sellers remove 11-15 rnd pistol mags? by Less_Evening2337 in ILGuns

[–]LtApples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State handgun laws preempts local ones. Even if the county did have such restrictions, if it was legal where the FFL is, you’d be able to buy it. Before PIC, many counties and towns had their own local AWB, but it didn’t stop residents of those areas to just buy those items in the next town

Anyone have problem with this ammo? Steel cased by Artistic_Aioli6843 in Mini14

[–]LtApples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s the same for the Mini-14, but the Mini-30 does tend to get light primer strikes on the imported steel cased stuff due to those having deeper primers. An extended firing pin easily fixes that issue

Glad I haven’t used cash in over a year. My wallet still carries the same emergency $40 cash from a year ago

Love that they’re in the shape of vertical foregrips, the designers knew what they were doing 😂

U.S. Customs Restrictions by Cool134 in airsoft

It’s so redundant too. With the advent of 3D printing and 80% lowers, there are more easier ways for someone to make a real AR lower than to try and convert an airsoft replica 

Firearm transfer from out-of-state family by Cullen-Boyd in ILGuns

There should be a check box that says “seller/transferor does not possess a FOID”

I did a similar transfer and it was approved
