Found a new Wrangler at a great price.Been looking for a birds heads grip,like the way they look withe the grip and shorter barrel.

I think you are maybe overlooking the obvious: Small handguns are designed and intended for "combat" purposes. They aren't designed with the bullseye plinker in mind.

I'm not sure I understand your complaint. The tax laws say you have to declare income, so eBay is just following the laws. I expect that Gun Broker will have to do the same thing. I don't love paying sales tax on internet purchases, but that's the law.

To that particular point, yes there is. 16th Amendment. Ratified 1913.

Like Darrell said, this is the law not an Ebay problem. All online retailers will start doing this, even Gunbroker.

I got the SP5 for a couple of reasons. One I think it looks better than the K. Second the K is about 4 inches shorter and does not feel as good in my hands. For me the left hand position is more comfortable on the 5 than the 5K

But it's not a gun registry... Maintaining records and investing the time to digitize one billion FFL firearm transactions. Buy used and FtF!

I used to ride a lot but like most, life gets in the way. My bikes have sat way too much the last couple of years but I'm always optimistic that this year will be the year.....

In my opinion there are Dual Sports, there are scramblers, and then there are Adventure Bikes. Dual Sports are dirt bikes that are street legal. Most are going to be 450cc or under. They are going to generally have a narrow seat, more ground clearance, longer travel off road oriented suspension, aggressive or at least 60/40 dirt oriented tires. They are going to have a 19"+ dia. front wheel and 17" dia. rear in most cases. Generally smaller fuel tanks, and high clearance fenders. Key here is they are light, narrow, and nimble. Scramblers are street bikes made to handle a little dirt. They are going to be a bit classic in look and in the mid range on engine size, likely in the 500cc - 800cc range. Very little plastic on the bikes, think old school exposed perimeter frame, round headlight, and a high pipe that runs up just below the seat or rear subframe level instead of at approx. wheel axle height. They may have a slightly more aggressive tire but will still be primarily road oriented. Likely a wire spoked wheel set in traditional 17" street wheel diameter sizes. Fairly upright riding position and a flat or very slightly pulled back wide handle bar. Maybe a bit more ground clearance than the street version but still a lower seat height. Mid weight but still pretty chunky to really throw around in the dirt. Adventure bikes are the big aggressive touring bikes that claim they are off road capable but most just eat up asphalt miles. The one key feature that most have is the "Beak", the high plastic fender out front usually just under the monstrous headlight assembly and windshield. There is going to be a bit more plastic here but not full cladding like a modern sport bike. Generally a high seat height with good ground clearance and a fairly compliant medium travel suspension. They are going to be big, 600+ cc and 450+lbs (likely 600+lbs) and have larger tanks for range. Generally full luggage with side cases, a top case, or at least racks for adding them out back. Spoked wheels are common but front tires sizes can vary from 17" to 21" diameter. Tires will be mostly street oriented from the factory but generally are pretty poor in any real dirt, sand or mud. Great or the highway, good on the backroads, decent on a forest service road or gravel road, but just this side of a road glide as a true trail/woods bike. Once you drop and have to pick one up a few times off road you will be looking for a lighter more nimble bike with a lot less "baggage" for any real trails. If I had to have only one bike it would the the lightest mid size Adventure Bike I could find since my days of being in any real trail or woods terrain on two wheels are behind me. That way I could enjoy some backroads on a comfortable yet still capable bike with an upright riding position one day and hit a few forest service/dirt roads the next. I could commute to work with relative ease and even knock out a nice long weekend trip with a bit of luggage and some highway miles if I wanted. As it stands now I am only regularly riding my sport tourer (VFR 800Fi) but I do have a few vintage project bikes waiting in the wings.

@tercel89 I don't know if you've seen this already or not, but this is the video that inspired my bro-in-law to give them a try. There are several other videos on YouTube, too.

Available is a like new Aero Precision 30mm one piece scope mount. A scope was mounted but then I decided to go a different direction with the project. Screws weren't overtightened and threads are in like new shape. $45 ftf in and around Murfreesboro, $50 shipped (payable by usps m.o. only)

Am sooo tired of buying a new handgun, mostly small 9's, only to find out that they are sighted to a combat hold. For me, the poi should be directly on top of the front sight rather than under the white dot on it. That's the way 1911's on most revolvers are. The combat hold makes it difficult for me to see what you are shooting if plinking small stuff. When my Austrian instructor first showed me this sighting method decades ago, I thought he was joking. He claimed it was a natural sight picture in a defensive encounter. Now it has become almost standard on micro or sub compact 9's. AND I DON"T LIKE IT Yes there are aftermarket sights, but in my experience they usually are sighted the same as the manufacturers. Glock makes adjustable or just higher rear sights, but not every dovetail fits Glock sights. And no, I don't like filing down my front sight to a nub. On a bright note, my little Ruger LCPII 380 puts shots right on top of the front blade as it should. Went through a 50 round box of WWB yesterday at ORSA and it reliably plinked steel at 30 feet. Not so much at 60 feet, but that's a combination of me and the short sight radius. End of Rant ps: Combat hold most recently encountered on Sig P320, P365, Hellcat, M&P. My Taurus G3c uses Glock sights so was able to change out the rear on it.

I agree that paying sales tax on a used item is BS. The gov already got their tax. What EBay is reporting is income for reporting on your 1040. If you paid $8000 for parts and sold them at a loss, you did not make any income and would not have a tax liability. The trick I suppose is proving the loss. It would be sweet if EBay put a place on a listing to put what the seller has invested in the item so it can record a gain or loss. Then if I buy a holster new, then sell it for a slight loss, no income. The trick would be not letting people put outrageous amounts in there. I did buy an album a couple years ago for about $60 and sold it for $1500. So that was income for sure as they see it.

I've got the Gear Up, so it's got the two wheel drive system, and reverse too. And as a bonus it has a machine gun mounting post. It's the only motorcycle that my wife will ride, she really likes the sidecar. It really needs the carbs cleaned, which will probably be a spring project. And it does take a lot of room in the garage.

I suppose that would be important information. It's a 2012 RZR 800, 495 hours 49xx miles.

BUMP> SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUY THIS , SO I DON'T HAVE TO RETURN IT TO A SAFE QUEEN.

I dont have a problem with reporting income on brand new item sales. I sell USED gun parts privately from time to time on Ebay and have kept it under 10K anualy without issue. GB still allows buyers to pay directly to the seller with MO's and they bill you for the sales tax off the sale. So far, I'v not had any issues collecting a GB sale into PayPal. Gov over reach is out of control. There is no Income tax written in the US Federal Constitution. It was supposed to be a War effort tax only untill they helped them selves to it just because. Technically its illegal like so much of the "laws" you and I never voted for. Did they ever ask you about sending out your tax monies in the billions in foreign aid? Just more bend over and like it. You have no say in it back then or now. I also have sold on the 127 yard sale week. I guess I'm a felon there to for not running to them with a 1099-k? Good Grief....

Got one!!

should be shooting a 'dot' problem solved If shooting combat, not going to be making that fine sight alignment at social distances, so really a mute point. Otherwise, the manufacturers can please some of the people some of the time.....

You should test drive a Shadow Systems. It’s everything a Glock ain’t and it points like a 1911.

Paypal, Venmo, Square Cash App, and all the others now have to report over $600. This is really gonna hurt those doing the side hustle daycare and cleaning jobs as they will have to ask for cash or pony up to the tax man. I hate paying taxes but I love living in this country so it is what it is.

Coincidence! I was shooting my new to me Ruger LCP II yesterday and had the same results. I hold level with half the target covered and the Ruger was hammering the dead center. Ruger gets it with this little pop gun out of the box.

I did just this on Jan 12th. I loaded some 158 gr LSWC Hi Tek coated bullets (Hoosier's) for my LCR snubby in .38 spl. The powder was 3.6 gr AA#2. Winchester Magnum small pistol primers gave me an average of 693 fps Winchester Standard small pistol primers gave me an average of 649 fps. I've found AA#2 easy to ignite and certainly the magnum primers were for a "let's what happens" situation. No signs of a pressure spike, primers looked fine, and I couldn't appreciate a difference in felt recoil. I've loaded 10 k plus of 9mm using Magnum primers during the supply crunch after Newtown. I just initially dropped my charge around 10% and worked to my desired fps. Again, no issues. I do try to keep magnum primers on hand for powders like H110 for .357 mag loads as recommended. But I've certainly run it and 2400 using standard small pistol primers. I just checked my notes from 1993. I had a 686 at that time with lighter than factory springs (they are factory now) but those springs wouldn't set off (according to my notes) CCI magnum primers under a load of 16 gr H110. I switched over to Winchester standard small pistol primers and they ran fine. (Note, I didn't own a chrono in '93.) Yes @JustEd, those 1000 fps .357 loads are nice and mild. And I'm using the .38/.357 158 gr bullets I mentioned earlier. They listed as 14-16 BHN and are sized at .358. I like them. I'm abused myself and my guns enough over the years, so this is a pleasant .357 load to shoot.

My little buddy, The Thug, keeps a close eye on me when I reload.

That is a really mild load. You must are shooting softer lead??? btw I also belong to ORSA, Usually go to Gattlinburg Sportsmans Club for pistol or any Chrono work as there is less "traffic". Its also. lot closer to me

Depends on which tag/title office you visit. Some don't care and will give you a tag when the title clearly says "off road use only". As long as it's got a headlight, brake/tail light, and 1 mirror, you're good. Turn signals are not required on motorcycles. You'll only get hassled about that if you've earned it by being an idiot or happen across one of the checkpoints THP sets up in the summer.

I know it looks funny, but he is off the ground, how ever there mats for this.

Cool. I have a vortex strike eagle 1-8.

The blanks have been stabilized in cactus juice before I made them. I do this with all the grips I make. 2 hours under vacuum through a few bleed cycles and 24 to soak in the resin.

Now I feel like the puppy chasing the laser dot on the floor & you're holding the laser! Hey, I'm gonna work up a post asking about pistol cal PDW's in the handgun section. Please drop-in & comment what you think, if you would?

I keep this site on my phone handy to use a refernce for Chinese 7.62x39: http://www.dave-cushman.net/shot/762x39_cartridge.html

A possible help might be some rubber wrap-around grips? I think Hogue used to make those? Another option is get a 9mm 1911 where the recoil is a good bit less.

Pre covid price on 1000 primers was around $40 so $100 is very high in my opinion .

I asked a buddy of mine that very same thing. He said it would be an EPA/OSHA nightmare of unimaginable proportions. He has a strong background in mfgr, specifically at an aluminum plant in Waverly decades ago. He thought between the ventilation, drainage of the floor, filtration systems, etc, it'd be millions of dollars before the actual mfg equipment got purchased. That includes the bldg as well, of course. Then there's the limits of getting the actual primer chemicals to make them. There's a reason almost all primer plants are outside the US these days.

Basically, powder for a magnum cartridge is slower burning, thus more difficult to ignite. Magnum primers are supposed to be hotter to help ensure reliable ignition of such powder. I would also strongly recommend buying a reloading manual or three, and adhering to published data. The 357 Magnum is a very versatile round. You can load anything from light target loads to large game hunting loads. I would recommend using the magnum primers with powders such as 2400 and H110, and regular primers for light loads using powders like Unique, Bullseye, and the like. The 357 magnum is simply a lengthened 38 Special cartridge. Folks were hotrodding the 38 in guns like the 38-44 N frame Smith and Wessons. While these loads worked in that big, strong revolver, it proved too much for many lesser guns. The new 357 was too long for the 38s chamber, and helped prevent these hot loads being fired in weaker revolvers. The main difference in loading for this and the 9mm is crimping. An auto cartridge headspaces on the mouth of the cartridge, so you basically just remove the bell from the case mouth. Most 38 sp bullets will have a crimp groove. This cartridge headspaces on the rim, so you can roll crimp the case mouth into the crimping groove. Other than that, it’s the same…size/deprime, bell, prime, powder, bullet, crimp.

Tough call, but it would probably be the Infinity .40 I designed and ordered a few years back.
