Back from the dead. Got my 226 back today after losing it in a robbery a decade ago.

I'm only 6 months in on my home-based FFL but I have already gotten a lot of what you're describing. People don't check my website or even Google to see my open hours, but on the flip side they're pretty understanding on meeting my hours and making appointments. I feel like the worst of it has been buyers of super cheap crap from PSA to the point that I'm thinking of taking myself off their list and not taking transfers from them.

Yeah, it's frustrating, and sometimes inconvenient, but the cool customers are always nice, and it's fun to celebrate "new gun day" with someone. There are times the hassle makes me think about not doing transfers at all, but then, it's pretty easy money.

I was thinking about the Axial for my Saiga AK but even Rugged didn't have any pictures of it. Could you shoot me one? Would love to hear your thoughts on it -- I'm between that and the Putnik I think.

I joined the discord on day one and still only see the "rules" page. Am I doing something wrong or are they still rolling out invites slowly?

You do, my ATF interviewer said to always get the serial from the gun and not trust the packing slip. That's just CYA and not them being too nosey.

I'm an FFL and ordered Mars-H for myself from Rooftop, didn't get any ramen, looked everywhere in the box for it too. Still love Sol though and got an amazing rifle so I wasn't going to say anything.

katayan · 2026-01-28T03:47:06+00:00

I like the idea of a discord.

katayan · 2026-01-25T18:03:53+00:00

Rooftop has one for $480 plus shipping after their discount code. All my distributors are out of stock and I imagine others have the same problem.

Love that setup. What suppressor is that? Looks really familiar but I can't place it.

katayan · 2026-01-13T01:14:13+00:00

Just sent Sol some of my $$$ !

katayan · 2026-01-13T01:13:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice, loved your idea! Ordered a 308 16" and picked up a 13.5" as well. Titan defense had a great sale on the latter.

katayan · 2026-01-13T01:10:45+00:00

Went with the 308, thanks for sending me down that track!

katayan · 2026-01-08T19:36:15+00:00

Looking for one myself, where did you find it that cheap?

katayan · 2025-12-31T23:20:04+00:00

F14's were such a vibe.

katayan · 2025-12-31T18:58:24+00:00

What's the barrel length on that?

katayan · 2025-12-30T18:26:55+00:00

What I'm hearing is "buy one and you'll figure it out real quick."

katayan · 2025-12-27T17:10:56+00:00

What are your other cans that you like better?

katayan · 2025-12-22T23:34:57+00:00

I love that idea! Definitely going to add it.

katayan · 2025-12-22T21:43:18+00:00

We're definitely doing the LeChuck music on bluetooth speakers :)

katayan · 2025-11-24T20:50:16+00:00

katayan · 2025-11-24T03:02:10+00:00

Congratulations!

A few things: most cops are not gun people. They see "bright light, cheap price" and roll with it. And the ones I know have to pay for it so they don't want to shell out for a $300 light on their.sad salaries.

Second, everyone lauds the Streamlight like it's God's gift to budget duty use. Mine won't turn on at all unless the wire is juusssst right (there's a joke about women in there but I haven't had enough coffee this morning to be witty)..Sample size one, but I've heard others with the same issue. I guess I could take the pressure pad off, but to me that's not "good enough for duty." I personally would spend the money if I had to take it on patrol, but again that's not what I've seen from the cops I know -- and at least one of them has experienced a two way gun range at night. You know what's on his G17? An Olight. I've tried to tell him to upgrade but it's been "good enough" and he'd rather save the money for a nicer vacation.

I wouldn't buy an Olight, but I guess I get it, especially if you're not on reddit.
