I operate a small machine shop at home and have recently picked up quite a bit of extra work threading rifle barrels as well as making some hard to find parts. I use high precision machinery and can get them done quicker and usually cheaper than others I have seen. There are very few limitations on barrels my machines can handle. I DO NOT have an FFL, so will work on barrels only, no actions. But with the amount of firearm related work I have been seeing I am starting the process to get an FFL. I typically make machine parts, custom thread adaptors, gears etc..

If there is anyone needing work done or has any questions for me please send me a message.

Basically the title. I have a CZ Scorpion I’d like to get rid of. Have you guys had good luck with TGT? Or is there somewhere better?

Anybody have one they don’t need anymore?

Having the worst experience with Range USA in Round Rock for suppressors. bought some suppressors from Silencer Shop and used Range USA as my dealer. I was new to Austin and thought Range USA was good since it was more commercial like and has lots of standard procedures.

However there is only 1 guy that can certify eforms and I called them 3 weeks ago about my eforms are ready to be certified and they said they would do them quick. They still would not certify them after 3 weeks. I called them at least once a week and that guy is still nowhere to be found. Place is shit for providing that kinda customer experience. Going with Zero Whiskey or Capital Armory for any purchase and transfers from now on

Can someone recommend a shop to ship NFA items to and help with the paperwork? Not necessarily items bought just from them. I currently use range usa for my FFL but not sure they told on to NFA items even though they have a kiosk.

I’m looking to purchase a nicer high power (3-18, 5-25, etc..) scope. I’m thinking about the Nightforce ATACR, Vortex Razor, or the Leupold MK V.

What’s the best place in town where I can look at these in person before I drop that kind of money?

Long story short... I was sent a rifle I bought off of Gunbroker, was about a $1,000. Saw Michael's name on gunbroker, saw lots of love here on Reddit regarding him. Shot him an email and got a response almost immediately. Talked to him for two days with quick responses.

Once the gun was shipped, he became non-responsive. He then signed for my gun and accepted the package the day it was suppose to be delivered. I messaged him two days later, also tried calling him multiple times, left voicemails, emails, went to his house and knocked.. no answer to anything.

Talked to shipper. Michael ignored them too, so the shipper escalated it to threatening him with ATF. Which he responded quickly with a time for an appointment to pick up the gun. Went over and guess what.. no answer. Called, messages, and emails. He is back to ignoring, so he will most likely be getting a visit soon if ATF finds out he has a dog or something. But luckily for him, I think he only has cats...

This guy is named Michael P. Ready Owner of Cross Hairs Guns and it's located at 8500 El Rey Boulevard. I suggest you to avoid at all costs unless you like giving away weapons to a random old guy.

Looking to buy a new SR-15, I know itll be a good bit over MSRP but just hoping to see it in person before purchasing.

I grew up hunting and still maintain possession of a couple of antiques, but want a handgun for home defense. Looking for some recommendations on shooting ranges that possibly have demos you can fire.

Part two: do I need to buy new or will used be fine?

Part three: what is a good reliable place to purchase firearms?

Part four: what should I be looking for and how much should I be looking to pay. Price ranges are fine. Just want something that will do the job, not be a pain in the butt to keep around, and not break the bank. For me that is probably anything over six or $700.

Part five: Besides a gun safe, anything else I will need?

Feel free to add anything I was too ignorant to ask. Thanks

I am not seeing anything about stiles farm being open for dove this season, does anyone know if that land is still open to public?

Hey all new to hunting and looking for a range to sight in my 6.5 creedmoor rifle. I’m up in Round Rock area if anyone knows of a place. TYIA

Apologies if this is not allowed here, but it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Next week is the local Friends of NRA banquet and we are doing something a bit different this year. We will be holding the event at the Dell Diamond and including tickets to the RR Express baseball game as a part of the ticket price. We will have the usual games and prizes though. Come have an enjoyable evening and perhaps win a gun or three.

Check out the link for details and tickets: https://www.friendsofnra.org/events/event-details?eventId=60772

I recently went to a range here and asked an associate to see some red dots- I’m asking questions, asking to see them, etc and the guy is just kinda giving half grunts.

I’m doing my best to pull something out of him, trying to get some info, ya know… shopping. The dude ends up telling me red dots aren’t for shooters and irons are all you need and all he’ll ever use. I got the sense he wasn’t pulling my leg and engaging in some friendly banter.

Who put this guy in charge of selling red dots? Where should I go to shop instead?

I’m good with Poverty ponies, PSA. 🙂

Recently moved to the area. Where are the best places to shoot skeet or trap? The range right by me is great, but has no options for skeet or trap.

Got my first 2011 and decided to try a DIY grip swap. Got fitment right but couldn’t get the hammer to stay locked back. I’m sure it was simple but couldn’t get it right. Took it up to Watermark and about 15 min later got a text that they were done.

It was my first time there, all the people were friendly and pleasant, inventory looked great, lots of great accessories and a crazy wall of dream builds. All that and a cute friendly dog!

It’s a little out there but they earned any gunsmith business i need and probably will try and buy my next firearm from them.

Appreciate yall u/watermarkarms

MODS: FYI No firearms, firearm parts, ammo, or ammo components are being offered for sale here, only reloading equipment. If there is anything listed that violates rules please let me know.

I ended up with a lot of duplicate equipment when some friends got out of reloading and I'm trying to clear out the excess inventory locally before resorting to shipping. Everything is in good working order and some items are brand new/like new. Pickup only in Leander/Cedar Park area. DM me if you need a picture of something.

Would prefer to buy local instead of shipping.

Academy near me is weird with what brands they keep in stock. Gun stores near me have good selections of firearms but not so great in ammo.

I'm primarily looking for Federal 5.56 and shotshell but any higher quality manufacturer will do.

I've got a B&T Station Six 9 which uses disposable wipes, basically rubber disks. I make my own to replace them 1:1, without having spares, however, I'd like to try out a set of OEM wipes again. The problem is these can only be ordered by an FFL 07/02: https://bt-parts.com/sd-988004-suppressor-wipes-set-of-4-wipes/

All the FFLs I've contacted here in the greater Austin area refuse to order them for me, even the ones who sell the Station Six like Capitol Armory, so I'm wondering if any home-based FFLs are here and would be willing? I'd pay $120, so a decent markup over what it costs you. I would bring the suppressor and you can install the wipes yourself if you'd like, it is very simple. According to everything I've read, this is legal, so not looking to do anything shady.

Hi, I'm writing to gauge interest in open carry marches, especially in downtown ATX.

This question was perhaps not surprisingly, prohibited in r/Austin on the basis of moderator discretion, and so I'm looking for recommendations for a few local clubs that are into the idea.

Edit for clarity: This post is about the general notion that downtown assailants, even repeat offenders, are lucky they didn't attack the "wrong guy". That's the question, where are all the "wrong guys"? If the city knows we're down there often, they're going to be forced to solve the problem.

Additional edit for anyone cucked into thinking that this isn't needed

Being mindful and careful of the rules, when is the next gun show and where is it? My location is Northwest Austin but the last gun show I went to was in New Braunfels and was great.

What ammo brand and grain cops have for their 9mm? Probably won't ever need to use it but I rather be ready.

Thank you everyone!
