Gun Thread: Good News/Bad News Edition! [Weasel]Welp, I didn't make it to the farm this week, so no there is no WeaselAcres video this evening. Good news: I did upgrade both my PC equipment and video editing software, which should make things a lot smoother from an editing perspective. Bad news: I spent so much time screwing around with the PC and video editing software, that I ran out of time to do much writing for the thread this week. Oops! So, with my humble apologies, let's see what we do have, shall we? First up, our pal JM sends the following: I got my firearm from Palmetto after a several-week wait for "processing". The FBI background check took 24 hours. The guy in the store said 24 hours was about as long as he has seen. So there are three things to unpack here. For those of you who have recently purchased guns online, how much time did they take to ship, and how long did the background check at the transferring FFL take? It might be interesting to see what different delays retailers are experiencing, and how long the background checks are taking. With regard to ultrasonic cleaning, what experiences have you all had? Good, bad, or indifferent? Is it worth the trouble of mixing the solution and drying cases afterward? I have never used one, but I know that a lot of competitors use them for cleaning brass. I've never felt the need to have brass looking brand new, and just use my trusty ol' vibrating cleaner with crushed walnut. The brass isn't bright and shiny, but it does seem to remove at least some of the powder residue crud. How big of a difference do they make? Let's take a look at this demonstration video from RCBS. Well they certainly are bright and shiny! Here's a link to the RCBS tumbler at Midway USA which appears to be on sale right now. The bottle of solution the guy used retails for about $25, and he only used a couple of ounces, so that doesn't seem too bad. Do you all use an ultrasonic cleaner, a wet steel pin tumbler, or something else for brass? How about for your guns? I have to say after watching the video, I may be changing my mind a little! Love 'em or hate 'em, everyone has an opinion on Glocks. Our pal A.H. Lloyd has taken the time to put his thoughts on the subject down and share them with us. No death threats, 'kay? The Glock Thing Thanks, A.H. Lloyd! I'm not entirely certain, but I get the impression you're leaning away from the brand, correct? So let's hear it from the Glock fans out there! A lurker follows-up on the subject of insurance, personal liability umbrella policies, and coverage for the use of force in self-defense. I'm an insurance agent in the state of Indiana. Our umbrella policies carry the same exclusion for intentional acts, but also carry this exclusion to that exclusion: Well isn't that interesting? I'm guessing there is some legally recognized definition of "reasonable force" to be applied in cases such as this. If you have an umbrella policy, this seems like a situation where it'd be smart to read the fine print and perhaps discuss the topic with your agent. Our pal RI Red took Mrs. R to the range and shares this bigly excellent range report. What Could Prompt Mrs. R To The Range, Again? But wait! There's more! Right after I suggested she try the gong at the 200 yd berm to the left. Thud. Damn, this getting good. Dammit! I'm misting up! Thanks RI Red! Not surprising, really, but Mrs. R sure does sound like a keeper! And all the cool kids have dryer sheets in their hats, Yo. Congratulations, brother! This week we have an interesting historical story from our pal WTM Nice find, WTM! How many of you were fans of Chuck Connors and The Rifleman when you were young? WTM also notes: I went to the local Academy yesterday to see how guns and ammo were doing. Thanks for the SITREP, WTM. How are things looking or the rest of you, ammo and gun availability-wise? ATTENTION NoVaMoMe 2020!!Sad people who cannot make the new NoVaMoMe date of August 29th Due the Chinese Cooties hysteria in Virginia, the NoVaMoMe 2020 has been postponed until Saturday, August 29th. The time and location remain the same. If you haven't already, please check your email and let the Central Planning Committee know if you are able to make the new date. If not, your registration fee will be refunded and we will open your spot to those on the wait list. Questions? Just email us at NoVaMoMe2020 at gee mail dot com. Thank you! Link-O-Rama I'm really very seriously not kidding around anymore. Buy Ammo In a tactical situation, I was taught to be creative in adapting improvised shooting positions. Well, not quite this creative! [h/t ibguy] Thanks(?) ibguy! Funny, but this looks almost exactly, scenery-wise, like where I learned to shoot. Minus the slightly ghey tactical bro guys, of course! Please note the new and improved gmail account morongunthread at gmail dot com. An informal Gun Thread archive can be found HERE. If you have a question you would like to ask Gun Thread Staff offline, just send us a note and we'll do our best to answer. If you care to share the story of your favorite firearm, send a picture with your nic and tell us what you sadly lost in the tragic canoe accident. If you would like to remain completely anonymous, just say so. Lurkers are always welcome! That's it for this week - have you been to the range? | Recent Comments
