New here!

New to the Subreddit but been browsing gun forums for years (off reddit).

I used to bring my guns to McBrides for gunsmithing, before their gunsmith started having horrible hours and not fulfilling work.

Then i went to Sportsmans finest for a while, until i found out Blackjack had done all the work instead. I tried Watermark arms recently, but found out they also contract their work to Blackjack.

Why is there so much hate here? Ive been to Blackjack and theyve been recommended by most other gun stores in the area. Why is there so much hate? Ive had such a great experience with them for the last year and a half. I haven't encountered any of the issues anyone has experienced and it seems like people gatekeep them away here.

Genuinely curious why theres only like a hand-full of people advocating against the friendliest and easy gun store to work with IMO.

Clay Shooting Near Georgetown or Further North?

Looking to shoot some clays. Don't really want to head into the traffic nightmare on I-35 South of me if possible.

I have my own mechanical thrower, and a truck that can easily handle off-road situations.

Looking for suggestions.

There used to be a range near where I used to live that where you could set up your own thrower and shoot all day. Someplace like that would be ideal, but commercial ranges work too.

Thanks in advance.

Is The Range oversubscribed now?

9:15am on Sunday morning, during the 8-10am Sat/Sun members-only time, and this member was quoted a 45-minute wait. They also took a walk-in reservation, same 45 minute wait, from a non-member during this period when the business is not officially open to the general public yet, without any mention of the usual hours. I've never experienced either of those cases on weekend members-only periods. That made me wonder how many shooters then on the range were actually members, adding to the wait.

EVERY member-based business can oversubscribe, getting ahead of resources for revenue. After all, the Range has been there since 2016, and we had a heckuva shooting surge during the pandemic.

I'll check out ShieldWall (former Red's/Bentley's at th.e Y), but they're smaller with shorter ranges, so not a reliable, well-rounded solution for me to shoot both pistols and long guns.

Good place to sell guns

I'm looking to sell off my entire collection. What's the best place to do it? I've listed on TGT but I'm concerned that'll take too long.

I've heard McBrides is good. Reccomendations are very welcome.

Has anyone seen a Gen 1 Ruger American in 300 blackout at any of the local gunshops recently?

I got a wild hair up my butt to make a sbr 300 blackout bolt action rifle and I want to do it with the gen 1 version since the gen 2 has a spiral fluted barrel and I am not sure how that will take to getting chopped shorter. I thought academy might have had one based on their website but apparently the inventory tracker on their website is wrong

Traveling to Austin for work, looking for shooting ranges

Hello! I am traveling to the US for work and we will spend a weekend in Austin. We are looking into going to a shooting range to try the experience. What places you would recommend? I think is safe to assume that neither of us (three people) have fired a gun before.

I've read about the Range when it comes to indoor ranges, and a couple others in the outskirts of the city for outdoors. I think we would prefer to go to an outdoors one, but I've read that they may not have instructors and they are not especially suited for beginners.

Happy to hear your thoughts, thank you so much!

Reloading components

I’m just getting into reloading and am looking to source components locally for now. I know Cabela’s carries a decent selection but are there any other good spots locally that have a good variety of components?

I was going to have some work done at Blackjack Gunsmithing, but apparently everyone here recommends not using them. Yet another post looking for the right gunsmith...

On my to do list is:

  1. Replacing an AR-15 handguard which requires removal of the flash hider muzzle device to install Aero Precision proprietary barrel nut.
  2. Finger groove removal on a Glock 19.4
  3. Discussing the best way to use a YHM-R9 suppressor on my Extar EP9. Its a direct thread suppressor, so my concerns are that it is screwed on correctly without the crush washer that came with the original muzzle device and that it could still be easily removed to use on other firearms. That seems simple enough, but the Extar's barrel threads are recessed into the handguard and the threads that hold the 2 pieces of the YHM R9 together are also recessed.

I know people ask for gunsmith recommendations all the time, but since I almost got in the car and drove to Blackjack without checking here first I was hoping to get a better recommendation. Thanks in advance!

New product ideas/requests

What is a firearm product you wish existed, or a change to a firearm or accessory that does exist that you wish you could get? Obviously realistic, not talking Star wars blasters or Halo battle rifles, or infinite mags.

After closing up my FFL at the beginning of covid, I've been doing just regular engineering work, but definitely I'm getting the itch again to try to make something fun.

A current thought I had my head as an adjustable gas block that has fixed positions but each of those positions are also individually adjustable. So you could have three or four custom tuned settings for example firing suppressed unsuppressed, or even shutting off to work single shot. But not sure if anyone would actually want to buy that.
