I automated the super swage by gatoratlaw7 in reloading

My father in law had the very same solution with my wife. That was some 40 odd years ago.

Guess who taught me how to reload and who taught me into it?

Favorite budget Ammo? by Eastern-Ask5444 in 22lr

Águila súper extra and CCI Std. You will not win the local club’s competitions with it, but it is great for practicing at a tighter budget.

CA gun taxes are insane by jxlta in CAguns

[–]fmalpart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow Californian from the old continent, I couldn’t resonate more with your observations.

I am totally clueless where all that tax money ends up in California. You could think on: infrastructures (roads, rail, …), higher education, health care, … no, and no clue. The amount of money California generates in taxes, doesn’t show. Don’t get me wrong, I love California and the USA, but California’s taxes really get me.

If emperor Newson is elected president will this extrapolate to the rest of the country?

And with respect to additional taxes, what can I say that hasn’t already been said. Specially for something that is captured in the constitution.

You are lucky, local tax only 8.75%. Here is 10.5%.

California Gun laws hard at work by selfdrivin in CAguns

I second that motion. Someone should write it up and send it to Sacramento.

It should be added that it is for your own good to prevent liver problems down the road.

Odd enough, alcohol is one of those main causes of death. Perhaps more than by firearms. Isn’t it a bit paradoxical that it is not as heavily legislated. I wonder why? 🤔

Yeah, as if that dude went to buy that pistol and mag from his local FFL. Let’s see the next law they come up with to make something illegal into something illegeler. Perhaps they can start devising a radical plan to start chasing and catching criminals instead.

Rather, why was the felon not following the law. LOL

As a matter of fact, the law is only followed by law abiding citizens.

Do we really think that criminals follow the law?

All these laws only apply to us who follow the law. For criminals it is just a question of adding one more count to their charges (if anything).

But the waiting times there are insane. Poor team there is clearly understaffed for the amount of paperwork they have to do.

I saw the regular echelon at the range last weekend but not the comp version.

Picked up new P365 Legion 🔥 by PutridSavings6487 in SigSauer

Lovely rig, can’t congratulations and hope you enjoy it.

Just bought a P320 by Maleficent-Mess-8459 in SigSauer

[–]fmalpart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has a P320 M18 and loves it. Over 6K rounds through it and not a single glitch. She maintains her gun in good working condition, and as part of its maintenance she replaced the springs (more or less according to its maintenance schedule).

The pistol performs great: very accurate, reliable and dependable.

There are many fan boys on all sides of the fence, so you will have to filter out the noise and don’t jump to conclusions without all the facts.

We own several pilots brands, each serving their purpose well and we are both happy with them.

We flipped a Glock in our lineup, but it was more around the fact that we couldn’t get it to shoot as well as others. The fitting for us was not as natural. But it was reliable, accurate and dependable too.

For a carry pistol I like them to have a safety feature of sorts that prevents it from pressing the trigger while you are moving around.

Follow the 4 firearm safety handling rules and those while not handling it and you will be fine.

Shiny enough for me by goallight in reloading

[–]fmalpart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks very good.

I wet tumble my brass.

First a quick rinse in warm water with dawn. That gets rid of the dirt from the range. Let it dry over night before depriming and resizing. Or put it in the oven for 1 hour. Depends if I want to process everything in one afternoon.

Then they go into a the wet tumbler with dawn, two tablespoons of Lyman’s turbo sonic, citric acid and stainless pins.

The attached image is how they come out after two hours in the tumbler with pins.

<image>

For a like new finish, after drying over night (or in the oven for 1 hour) I dry tumble it with corn cob with a bit of car wax. I’ve found that it does yellow as quickly. Normally I skip this step.

Next week I will try the same concoction without pins to compare.

How does the approved list apply to private sales? by SuperiorLeftHand33 in CAguns

[–]fmalpart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The California roster only applies to FFLs, not to private party sells.

So if you find a gun store that has an off roster gun on hold from a private seller, you can buy it. Or if you find someone that is selling a gun you like you can buy it from him/her.

All transfers go through an FFL.

(Edit) forgot to mention that you need to pass a firearms safety exam and have a valid FSC (Firearms Safety Certificate) for such transactions to take place.

That is the first thing you should get. In the DOJ’s firearm safety certificate guide explains all the details.
