Mike,
It is now illegal to make party to party sales for firearms of any kind without going through an FFL. So I would suggest editing your previous post.
well fuck me I see that now. I didn’t know it applied to every firearm… opps. totally my bad I was not up to speed.
A: Starting March 15, 2013, a background check of a buyer or transferee of a firearm must be performed by a federal firearms licensee (“FFL”) before a firearm is sold or transferred by a private individual, unless the transfer is between immediate family members.
fucking cuomo
Will covered the first part
Second part…mike if you spent 30 hours researching it you would not have used a wheel. Period. Dont believe or listen to what people do on youtube or other forums for that matter. Talk to the guys that actually do it. Even rimfire central is full of yahoos who would just assume taking .020" off a sear to make it “smoother” with little knowledge to the actual sear geometry at work is just fine and dandy if their trigger pull drops three pounds and it feels ok. Next time used stones and jigs only. If you dont have a jig, buy one or for fucks sake call me and ask if i have one or can make you one. You can get a far better and consistent polish with 2000 grit emery on a tool plate or jig than using a wheel and compound. Was zero need to use the wheel at all, especially if you went as far as 24K. Second without a jig, you cannot maintain parallism properly. Sear angles are measured in thousandths, not something you can eyeball. Third and more importntly, without knowingwhat youre doing you risk running through case hardening, which is easier to do than you think.
I take firearm responsibilty VERY seriously, anyone who shoots with me knows this as fact. Been doing this stuff for a very long time and if i see or hear of you or anyone else doing something stupid or careless you can bet im gonna give you/them an earfull. Dont want to hear it…then dont post it.
a lil color change
dude the loose cotton wheel barely touching the surface with light pressure for all of 20 seconds didn’t remove anything at all, its not digging in or cupping shit. I could and have taken that same wheel to bud light aluminum bottles and polished them without distorting the surface, its literally the lightest “wheel polishing” you can do. yeah it wasn’t necessary once I did the honing I assumed that myself, but its a $8 part and experience so I did to find out what it would do.
well for fucks sake, I guess I shouldn’t have done what people have been doing for generations.
Learning on their own through trial and error. I am sure a lot of your expertise came from that concept as well, if not must be nice to have more opportunities than I do, because being 90% self taught in literally everything from building my IT career to support myself, to painting cars, body work, powercoating, polishing, welding, cutting, bending, wiring, engines, tuning, building house, bikes, sleds, scooters, mobility chairs, machining, GUNS, and everything else I know damn well I can do a lot of each hands down better than 70% of the people on this forum was mostly done from my hands, through my brain, with very, very little outside help. My father showed me there is a cup and crown to every board, my late grandfather showed me how to strike an arc with the very first stick welder I ever flipped the switch on, you told me about tungsten geometry, and ryan bowman showed me a lot of machinist basics way to fast for them to sink in but it sparked my fire and I studied and I did, on my own, to put my self in better than average joe’s shoes. I am not here to toot my own horn, I’m here to tell you I know I don’t have the skills you have or the equipment at my immediate disposal like you do for this particular taks (sure I can ask to borrow but I don’t even ask my dad 5 miles away for a tool, I go get it myself if its necessary), BUT I know enough about the task at hand to complete the job and make a functional part from it. Fuck no is it as good as you could do probably, and its not something I would ever offer as a service or even friendly assistance for someone else, it was for MY experience and a learning step. If it didn’t work $8 gets me a new one to go at it again, with EXPIERENCE behind my next decisions and yeah I could take a piece of square stock, slot it for the piece, put a couple setscrews on the side and make a jig to keep perfect shape, I don’t need to hear the obvious it was already considered but clearly deemed unnecessary at the time. If the thing was dangerous, and might stand a chance at going off on the bench standing next to you, you also made a simple mistake and shouldn’t have left a round chambered. Also I shot the thing by myself, with nobody around… yeah I was worried, it was my first time. Its not like I ran it right down to the range said “hey yall lookie at what I ****** rigged, cross your fingers!” Infact Its not going around ANYONE until I put a hundred rounds through it without issue, and even then it will be in the back of my head and proper firearm safety would remove any chance of issue even if it was a turd trigger job.
We all learn, nobody’s perfect. Welds on intakes break, flanges are put on backwards, and sometimes you burn through fresh paint… we all have done it, that’s what experience is.
I digress, point clearly missed here. You’re right/im wrong
Oh and for what its worth i didnt learn trigger work by trial and error. I’ll let you figure that out.
You need a longer barrel or a shorter handguard
Has anyone seen, bought or know where to buy one of the “Safe Act” compliant AR’s in the Capital District?
all the gun stores have them
and jvg no way i love how the hand guard goes right up to the end of the barrel
It will look better once you get a brake on there. I need to get out and try the BCM one adam installed on my short carbine.
I 100% understand your point here. Safety first and there is always a better way to skin a cat. I never, ever, said you were right or I was right… I don’t hold judgments like that, EVER, for mechanical things like what we are talking about because “right” is open to interpretation and is achieved with infinite possibilities.
Case and point, your “right” was not what I did. Yet my “right” was 100% functional (from what I can tell). Infact I put 125 rounds though it 2 evenings ago without a single fault of any sort. I was at the range with my sister, she wanted to try this one and since I had ZERO faults after my less than industry standard way of doing things. She used it and put a smile on her face when she shot a penny with in 3 shots at 50 yards. so to me what I did worked.
I will drop this after you answer this for me. What procedures should I do with my gun to prove it is or isn’t “right”. How many lbs of force should be applied to the trigger while safety is on to verify it wont accidently fire? Where should I impact the firearm and with what force while the action is cocked (clear chamber for safety’s sake) to see if it will accidently fire? What other tests should be done? I am dead serious and not really trying to be a complete dick here. Since I am sure these tests are also done when trigger jobs are machined with processes that meet your approval, I would like to see how my cob job stacks up.

all over the place just about everyone sells one of those stupid stocks. The spur half pistol grip thing probably wont fly in court and neither will a traditionally featured ar with one of those “fixed mag” modifications fly either… for the fact that the letter of the law in ny doesn’t specify shit in regards to those two items/aspects. But again, that’s my interpretation, ill be proven right/wrong when someone’s arrested with one of them and goes though court.
until then
the stock with built in slanted grip bullshit is “ny compliant” WE THINK. again, until someones arrested and tired nobody knows.
to answer your question Franks in Mayfield and the the place next to harbor freight has these last time I was in there.
this is the spur grip thing. thanks to ny not defining “conspicuously bellow the action” very well going by other states definitions and federal guidelines, the web of the hand between thumb and pointer finger cant have the ability to go bellow the top of the exposed trigger.
this puts the web about level with it BUT allows it to go lower.
VS
on the rifle there is no way to hold it lower than the action line there.
