Re: Firearms you want for Christmas.
Going to be giving up a handgun Dec 19. The son&heir gets married that day and I'm giving him his pick from the safe. Suspect it will be a 1911 or BHP he takes with him. Guess I should read up on the CA family transfer rules. Handguns being registered here I reckon there will be a trip to the LMoD and fees involved. Probably a 10-day wait too.

Update to add that I want the form 3 to go through, and my Sparrow to arrive at the local dealer in time to submit my form 4 and beat 41P. Especially since I figure that after the events of last week, the de-funding amendment in Congress is likely radioactive.Netpackrat wrote:Well, if we are wishing, I still kind of want a PKM.

Re: Firearms you want for Christmas.
Yeah, I'm going to hit up another can and SBR the MCX and my 870. Maybe another AR receiver as well. Though I am wondering about the date of 01/00/16. Maybe they just mean sometime in 2016, though I'm not going to chance it.Netpackrat wrote:Update to add that I want the form 3 to go through, and my Sparrow to arrive at the local dealer in time to submit my form 4 and beat 41P.

Also, I can't comment on .22lr through the Sparrow, as my Buckmark's firing pin is broken, but 5.7 from my PS90 SBR? Badass.

If it doesn't have a certain bit of machining in the cylinder, you would.First Shirt wrote: I think you need the moon clips in order to head space the .45 ACP properly in the cylinder.

And to allow extraction without having to poke the empties out with a pencil. That's why S/A revolvers use two separate cylinders for .45 convertibles, but a D/A would be bored through, to allow the .45 Colt rounds to chamber, thus there would be nothing in the chamber for the .45 ACP to headspace on.
But there ain't many troubles that a man caint fix, with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six."
