As an SF CCW holder, I can say firsthand that policies can change. It's not easy, but the least we could do is vote for those that are willing to put in the effort (or at the very least, not as bad as what we currently have).

I know it can feel hopeless and apathetic, but we win little by little. Don't surrender!

Was cleaning my gun today, because it’s been so hot lately that my gun barrel tends to get a bit of rust really fast, when I noticed that my barrel link on my 1911 wasn’t a perfect circle it doesn’t look cracked or anything but it does look a bit noticeable. Is this really bad what should I do? I haven’t taken my gun shooting lately it doesn’t have too many rounds through it. Should I panic?

Not made of money so $750ish budget. What do they have that we can’t get?

Currently what i shoot with. Featuring the last Glock sold at bass pro shops Rancho Cucamonga 12/29/25

If I have an FFL03 and COE here in California, and I buy a pistol which is in the year bracket of being a curio and relic.

What is my waiting period?
What paperwork do I need to fill out at the store?
What paperwork do I need to do and what paperwork do I need to keep?
Do I need to send anything to the Department of Justice?
What else?

Thanks!

MARS-L has been in my safe for a bit, while MARS-H just got out of jail yesterday. Both rifles run like machines. If you’re on the fence about buying an LMT rifle, don’t overthink it—just do it!

Went into a local shop and handled on of these. Kind of liked the feel of it but not sure about it. Any thoughts or recommendations?

Pic for attention. Looking to check out the Route 66 range for the first time. What’s the best way to go about a private bay solo? I see I can reserve online but would need to pay the whole party fee (which is fine if that’s how I have to do it) or do they adjust pricing in person if they aren’t busy? I only have weekdays free so that’s when I’ll be going. I’m thinking of swinging by today to check out the steel gallery and was debating on bringing my rifle depending on the private bay situation.

I like the look way better than the 13". That one I think is going to go on a 14.5/7 pin and weld.

Canik MC9LS! The trigger sold me on this budget gun .. would have went a different route if I knew it didn't come with any stickers 😂😂😂.

I can’t seem to find this companies name, I had there business card talking to them at the gun show. I always avoided them because it was a company selling suppressors and muzzle attachments.
When I finally talked to them, turns out they are from California and they specifically make “California legal “sound regulators” which is the term I believe they used. They said the product does not meet the standards for ATF suppressors and cut the noise to like 30-40% supposedly which I was hesitant of.
Does anyone know what company I’m referring to? I’m not talking about the super fake ones you can buy for aesthetics either.

Thanks in advance

But I need money to buy guns 😩😩😩😩😩

FYI sear housing pin is a pain in the ass to take out.

Feels good in hands. Time to break this baby in!

Just in time for Halloween

When I posted up the pic of the shotgun, my DMs got flooded with what's in the back.

Been working with @potbatindustries on IG to make an Homage to the SR3M using a Brownells BRN180.

He made me the handguard, VSS 1913 stock adapter, pistol grip/fin, Middleton selector upgrade, and AK style charging handle.

Absolutely fell in love with this thing and can't wait to get it home to LA.

And yes, that is an extended Blast Cage with a comp inside that makes it 16 inch barrel with an OAL of 35 inches.

Anyway, he says he's already working on improvements on it and will be releasing a kit or individual parts for pre-order next month

I (21M) bought a savage mark II G, wanted it as my first gun. Saved up for a while. Bolt action so I could slow down and learn. $269 sticker price. Then $50 of taxes. Then a $40 rail. Then $35 scope rings. Then $30 ear muffs. Then a $30 case to transport it in. Then a $180 scope. Then a bore to clean it with $20, and cleaning solution $10. Then $10 glasses, then $37 DROS. How did my $269 gun turn into $700 when I buy my first box of ammo?

Still excited but LOL, that got out of hand fast. Tried to buy quality parts so it’ll last a lifetime though

I live in Arizona, but go to California (usually San Diego or LA/Anaheim) frequently due to how close I live to it and go vacation with family. I’m wanting to get a .357 magnum revolver for bear defense when hunting here in Arizona and chamber 38 special for human defense in California. But when researching I found that the Taurus 65 was California compliant. I’ve been wanting to have a pistol I could take with me to California since we’ve stayed in pretty sketchy areas before. I’m not exactly sure for the open carrying and CCW laws in California since they’re very liberal here in Arizona and I know California tends to be more strict. Due to that I was planning on keeping it where we’d be staying at or with me when driving. I’m not too sure about carrying it out and about since I very often see no carrying signs on premises which make me feel like it would be better off if I left it in the hotel or air bnb. I was thinking about getting a lock box and putting an AirTag in it to keep the revolver in when I’m gone and then put that into the hotel safe. Is there a better way I could keep my pistol from being stolen when I’m out and about with family? Also, my friend was confusing me a little bit on California laws that since I’m from another state, I can bring a non compliant pistol, I just have to notify 30 days in advance and I can get approved. For example if I got a EAA Windicator I would notify and I can bring that with me. I have a Glock 17 but have been told it wouldn’t make sense to buy 10 round mags when I plan on buying a revolver already

Sold out in 30 minutes - savages! LOL
