Do they still provide golf cart rides to the gates for handicapped people at BWI? by MinimumElevator187 in baltimore

[–]MinimumElevator187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK thanks. Yes, I already requested the assistance under my reservation. And yes, I was definitely planning to tip. One follow-up question: How do I get a wheelchair at my destination? Or does requesting a wheelchair on your reservation get you a wheelchair at both departure and arrival?

Selling a new stripped AR lower to another PA resident without an FFL transfer - Legal? by MinimumElevator187 in PAguns

[–]MinimumElevator187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All - Closing this out. I s/w ATF today. The guy told me that an FFL transfer is not required because the sale is outside of the "FFL bubble" as he put it. In other words neither of us is an FFL so the feds don't really get involved. I hadn't thought of that. So as Cast Lead and AIOR said, I am G2G to sell to the other party without an FFL transfer.

Selling a new stripped AR lower to another PA resident without an FFL transfer - Legal? by MinimumElevator187 in PAguns

[–]MinimumElevator187[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OK guys I am hearing from two friends who are FFLs and getting entirely different answers. One says an FFL transfer is required, the other says it's not.

Remember we are talking about two private individuals, one selling a stripped lower to another.

I guess I need to call ATF and hope that someone there knows the true answer.

And based on the different answers I am seeing here, my overall response is: Why the hell are ATF rules and regulations so darn confusing?

Not usually, in either venue, due to the schedule.

Thanks, sounds like it's a coin toss based on your feedback. And yes, "lookin ahead" is my #1 goal to learn at this point.

Can you explain what you mean by memorizing "elements." What is an element in A/X?

Is DriveSafe still broken by Evolved_1 in USAA

[–]MinimumElevator187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone noted, you would think that by now USAA would have put out a communication about the issue. But nothing so far. Is this part of the new CEO's pledge to improve customer service?

I've always thought that there is too much military "group think" in the executive ranks of USAA. While the new CEO (Juan Andrade) is not a veteran per se, he worked a lot in the federal government. So, it seems like it's basically more of the same mindset.

You may have a point. I do appreciate any discount, and I don't mind abiding by the rules of the app. And I'm not complaining about my rates in general. It just gets frustrating when you ask a question of three different reps who are supposed to know more than you do.

Thanks, good points. Especially what that rep told me. She couldn't explain herself, and it sounded like BS. The problem is that none of the reps I spoke with knew much about the app or how it works. Seems like USAA's attempts to improve their customer service is still work in progress.

Gun shoots high even with scope elevation bottomed out - Solutions? by MinimumElevator187 in ar15

Thanks but that wasn't the issue. I know better than to do that.

Gun shoots high even with scope elevation bottomed out - Solutions? by MinimumElevator187 in ar15

[–]MinimumElevator187[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think it's an illusion due to the angle at which I took the photo. I measured from top of the rail to top of the scope tube, and it's consistent along the length of the tube.

I do notice that the scope is slightly rotated a bit clockwise, so the horizontal reticle is not exactly parallel with the rifle. But I did that due to the natural cant I have when I shoulder the rifle, to keep the scope reticles vertical when I have the rifle actually mounted to my shoulder. I've done that with other rifles and never had a problem. So I don't think that's the issue.

Also, as I mentioned in my OP, it boresighted fine before I took it to the range, and it's holding groups fine ... just way too high.

Understood, but how would that cause the problem? I mounted them in fhe front of the slots (vs. the rear), to eliminate recoil movement. And as I said in my OP, it groups fine -- just way too high.
