That is very good to know. I've gotten used to few (if any) updates during transit, but I always wondered why it took so long for "Delivered" to show up when tracked. Thanks for lettin' us know!

You mean they were made on Saturday, when no one cared to be at work?

The funny thing is, after reading this entire thread, I don't feel any smarter. In fact, I feel a little bit dumbed down...

Well, I went ahead and submitted my vote for July. I'll be out of town on the 6th of June and the 5th is a "maybe". It's my anniversary, but we've been married long enough my wife might let me do it.

So I can clean my guns in a Coleman stove?

Same here. Wore mine for a while today and I'm wondering if I should have talked myself outta cutting it. Or at least cut less? Like you said, it's still comfy, but not as comfy as it was.

When you say lowered, do you mean you lowered the entire holster in your waist by raising the clip(s) or the other way around? Kinda confusing

I started with a pair of standard scissors, but that wasn't working well. It worked, but not great. I ended up using a very sharp pocket knife which worked just fine.

Yeah. If you should ship lightweight stuff at a decent price through UPS or FedEx, I'd almost never use the USPS.

That is pretty sweet. I have to admit that when I clicked the link to this topic, I expected to see some more MOLLE gear douchebaggery, but what you've got there is cool.

So the USPS has a rule that anything bearing postage stamps that weighs over 13 ounces must be dropped off at the counter to a USPS employee. I was sending out some Lee dies (in the slim style plastic case) in a flat rate envelope. It weighed over a pound, but it was a flat rate envelope, so I affixed a $4.90 stamp and headed off to the post office. Now, if you've ever worked for a package delivery service, you've seen how packages get treated. Beat up, banged around, etc. I placed a layer of tape around the edges and across the sealing area just to make sure it holds up. Keep in mind how small the Lee plastic die boxes are. The envelope (very obviously) was not stressed or bulging and it was quite obvious that their adhesive was definitely making the seal like it should. But, the "nice lady" informed me that I have to pay by weight because of the fact that I used tape and did not rely solely on their adhesive to keep it closed. I asked her if I could move it to another flat rate envelope and just use "their" adhesive and she said sure. IF I could get the stamp moved over to the other envelope. So, in the interest of not losing my cool and going to jail for doing what I wanted to do, I ponied up some more cash to get this thing sent off. The worst part - when I get home, my wife says to me "Weren't those the envelopes that they (USPS) sent you the letter about?" Oh yes. I ordered those flat rate envelopes from the USPS about a year ago and they sent me a letter a couple weeks later telling me that the adhesive on that batch was sub-par and that I should either discard them or... wait for it... USE TAPE TO RESECURE THE ENVELOPE!!!!!

Please do! I rarely log on to ar15.com.

Huh? I must have missed something.

Yep. Works best for me!

Haha. Feel free!

Welcome!!

Also, like was previously stated, it's on the seller as well to confirm an item is C&R before transferring it to a C&R. Whether it is a private seller or a dealer / distributor, always check with them before trying to buy (or bidding on an auction) unless they clearly state it is a C&R. There have been several C&R guns on gunbroker that I would have bought, but the seller wasn't comfortable shipping to a C&R. And in a way, if it's not extremely obvious the gun is very very old, I can't blame them. You're dealing with an enforcement agency that has ruled a piece of string to be a machine gun.

Like 1gewehr said, check the ATF site for more info. And to expand on what he said, guns over 50 years old are automatically C&R, but only if they have not been modified. Simple maintenance stuff (rebluing, refinishing stocks, etc.) will not end an item's C&R status, but massive changes to the gun would. I noticed a distributor selling sporterized 91/30's (they had replaced the original stock with a synthetic one) and they were advertising them as "C&R Eligible". I actually requested clarification from the ATF (and have the letter if anyone wants to see it I can scan it) and the ATF confirmed that changes other than maintenance-style changes will cause a gun to lose its C&R status. I asked and was told by the ATF in the letter that if I bought a C&R gun and modified it, I would have to log it out of my bound book. I'm still not sure how that entry is supposed to look in my log book since I wouldn't be transferring it out to anyone...

Got around to doing some cuttin' on my Kholster tonight. This is the end result. So far I'm pleased.

I can't get anything to come up except for two types of rifle bullets. I reckon I missed the boat

From what I've seen, WST has a huge following from the 45 group. Maybe I'll pick some up one day. With all of those that swear by it, I doubt I'll regret it.

My 3 year old demonstrates how easy it is to reload on a Lee Challenger. We made the video and afterwards she kept telling me "Show your friends!" while I was browsing TGO, so per her request I'm sharing it with y'all. YouTube - K Bug Reloads .45ACP

Poor guy. Nobody warned him? I guess that's part of life, though. Marriage is nature's way of getting us over our fear of death.
