I highly recommend joining this group if you happen to have a Facebook account:

All your questions can be answered concerning open carry in VA.

Every now and then, I come across a Python on Gun Trader. One day, I'll be able to drop the cash on one. I already did. :roll: It's a sweet gun. Feels great in your hand and shoots great. Will be sending it to Cylinder & Slide to have them perfect it even more. They have a 9 month waiting list ...

Here is an interesting question for the group: I was listening to the Guntalk podcast last weekend and Tom Gresham had a caller whose Dad had a Colt Python. As you may or may not know, the Python was known for having one of the best ( if not the best ) double action trigger pulls. Tom halfheartedly ...

Has anyone ever used Straight Shooters Gunsmithing in Hillsboro, VA? The gunsmith is Ray Siegert.

Thanks!

IMG_0879-2.jpg Hi all, I had this nice Zeiss scope installed for me at the firearms shop where I bought it. The owner used Leupold mounts and bases. Question: Is there a way to tighten the 4 tiny base screws under the scope without removing the entire scope? The wrenches that came with the mounts d...

I would be interested in this topic as well as I may get or purchase a rifle or handgun from my uncle in NY state when I visit next month. That is a entirely different story. Handguns can only be purchased in the state in which you live. You can buy one online, etc. but it has to be shipped to a FF...

Hi, Hope someone can clear this up for me because I have been getting conflicting information. I live in VA and want to buy a rifle (e.g. Remington 700) from Cabela's in PA. I've seen some posts on the Internet plus talked to a Cabela's rep in Nebraska who said it had to be a bordering state (PA doe...

I'll take your advice since I wouldn't trust the cops to know the regs. Be that as it may, I read all the firearm regulations and it says what firearms can be registered in the District and what can't be. There is no mention of black powder revolvers anywhere that I could find. My guess is that it i...

Hi, I will soon be the owner of a nice Uberti Walker revolver. Since there is no background check (I guess it is considered a "replica"??) is it legal to bring into DC? I wouldn't carry it. Just want to bring it in my backpack to show someone. Better safe than sorry. Does anyone know where...

Has anyone dealt with Sterling Arsenal (Sterling, VA)? I find their website rather confusing (http://www.sterlingarsenal.com). Do they have a store front? Do they only handle transfers? [ Post made via Mobile Device ] http://vagunforum.net/images/mobile.png It is basically a one man show. I have de...

I was there from open to close on Friday. Crowded but not like the weekends. I wish I had 100 Ruger LC9s for sale. Could have made a mint. Everyone was asking for them but no dealers had them in stock. Typical sea of polymer pistols. I have a Glock (which I love) but I do love 1911s. Hardly anyone h...

Any VGOFers going to the show in Chantilly this weekend? I am going to do what I did last time. Go on Friday and get a 3 day pass. That way I can go back over the weekend without waiting in line. It was crazy crowded last time. Probably will be just as crowded this weekend. I am going to treat mysel...

I was thinking of getting a reloading manual. I plan to get into reloading some day but I am fascinated by the ballistics aspect and trying to get a deeper understanding of loads.

If you had to get one manual, which would it be?

Thanks.

Why do some cartridges have a two part numbering system, eg. ,30-06, .38-40, .30-30 Winchester, etc?

Thanks,

What do you plan on using it for? Plinking, home protection, concealed carry, etc. When it comes to 1911s, the world is your oyster. Just because you want a double stack or light rail does not mean it isn't a 1911. Sure you can get a Rock Island Armory GI mil-spec for 350 bucks and that would be fin...

I went Friday and Saturday. A lot less crowded Friday and I got a 3 day pass for a few bucks extra. It was worth it as I did not have to stand in line with all those other people today. :clap: I don't know how much this has to do with Obama hiring anti-gun folks and the Arizona shooting aftermath bu...

Well, turned out my new $1000+ Colt Delta Elite needed a new barrel. My gunsmith at Hatfield's in Manassas spotted the problem. Thanks Sam. So, back went the gun to Colt. Two and a half months later I got it back yesterday. 2 1/2 months, for a barrel? They said the original wasn't reamed properly. H...

Of course, a lot of ammo sites sell parts and vice versa. I have ordered from 95% of these sites. Ammo: Not cheap but some of the best: http://www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/index.php Cheapest ammo I can find for AR loadings, .308, 10mm: http://www.crenshawammo.com/categories/Shop-Ammunition/ htt...

Great tips everyone. I am definitely going to get a lock box or other device to place it in and then move it to the trunk and secure it. I'll probably then put the box in an innocuous looking shopping bag so no one with prying eyes gets suspicious. I assume if a gun gets stolen from a car and is use...
