Well, I did end up trading my Blackhawk.
But for this.

Boner. I've always wanted a Detective Special. In pretty-much-as-good-as-you-can-ask-for nickel, no less.
I had to pass on the 30-30 because the stock was messed up. Somebody had put a screw through it, assumably to fix a split.
This Colt is absurdly nice. It actually has the shittiest trigger I've ever felt on a Colt revolver...but I know exactly why. It hasn't been broken in. On a forty year old gun.
Haven't looked in awhile but if I remember correctly from that last time, I'd say about 400 in decent used condition.Anybody know a bit about lever-actions?
I've got a Super Blackhawk that I'm considering getting rid of. Value $400-500. Someone offered a Marlin 1936 in 30-30 for it. I'm intrigued because a) I like old stuff and b) I've always wanted a lever gun.
So I got some kind of cool news. Recently, I got my first gun: a used Glock 19 gen 4 with some bells and whistles, including Ameriglo night sights, extended slide release, and a 3.5 lbs "ghost trigger" mod.
Well as it turns out, the "ghost trigger" was actually my noobish understanding of the mod. "Ghost Trigger" is an aftermarket product, whereas I thought it was just a nickname for a lighter, 3.5# trigger. Someone at the range who competes in GSSF matches took a look at my gun and said I actually have polished, Glock-OEM, 3.5 lbs trigger parts from a gen 3 G34. So the end result is that my Glock 19 is still reliable, plus it's still legal in the non-unlimited divisions in GSSF matches. Not that I'm ready to compete or anything, but it's cool to know that I could if I wanted to. Sweet
In other news, I got a free 3 hour lesson with Travis Tomasie. Holy crap, that guy is good. Not only is he a great shooter, which everybody knows, but he's a fantastic teacher. Go see him if you ever get the chance. Good guy in general, and he's pretty sharp, to boot. It's not often that you meet an athlete with a level of diction beyond that of some college professors.
So little confused about FFL transfers. I've gotten 3 guns transferred to my local FFL before and never had an issue. For my mossberg, I ordered it through Gunbroker from Red's trading post and I called them up yesterday afternoon and they told me they're still waiting to hear from my FFL.
When I checked out, I specified my FFL during checkout (it was in gunbroker's database) so I assumed they would have all the info they need. Do I need to call my FFL today and have them call Red's trading post?
I would. I've had to drive a few things like this before so I personally wouldn't leave anything to chance.
They are in gun broker's database as someone you can use, but I wouldn't think that means sellers have access to every listed ffl's license.
That may sound trite.
But theres more and more places which wont let you shoot military rifles these days.
My private club banned them a couple years ago and it seems only just this summer we might get them back.
Just curious - How does your club define "military rifles" and is the definition in writing or just someone's opinion??
Yeah, I can see why they wouldn't want a .50 cal, but does an AR15 get thrown into that mix? What about M1 Garands?Just curious - How does your club define "military rifles" and is the definition in writing or just someone's opinion??

its a club with members and rules. Everything is in writing.
The definition is very wide (just like many state definitions) and many members didnt care for it.
In fact we lost almost half our people because a handful of grumpy old men run the board and dont like anything fun.
Then they doubled the dues for everyone who stuck around.
its not a business. Its a club. But they manage to fuck it up anyways.
I only go there cuz its open 24/7.
