Curious how long and deep your workbenches are? From long rifles to pistols.

What is the ideal surface? Softer wood?

Looking to add one to my small gun room.

I probably am going to build a folding bench that drops down on wall when not in use.

Going to fill walls with securit wall slats for gun, ammo and parts storage.

Thanks for advice, inspiration and any suggestions?

I bought a Charter Arms Undercover last week at the local gun show. I went to shoot it this morning at 10AM. It's now 1130PM and my thumb is still sore. I shot about 80 rounds of standard .38 special. I've got the standard wooden grips. Any recommendations for grips that will cushion the kick a bit? I also had a devil of a time holding on to it.

Would it cause an issues if I decided to purchase an ARP online to an FFL and have them run the BGC while I’m waiting for my CWP to come in? I just don’t want to cause any delays or pop any sensors. I’ve been trying to read up on as much as I can as I’ll be a first time owner but nothings really clear so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. I am in FL for less than 6 months on a J1 trainee visa. I was wondering if i am allowed to buy a gun. I've seen mixed answers for this but maybe someone knows better? I would get it just for going to the range sometimes and i don't want to rent it. Thank you!

I moved from NJ and assembled an "other" firearm to circumvent their crazy laws.

It has:

• 10.5 " barrel
• Pinned muzzle device
• Brace
• OAL 26"
• VFG

I just want to make sure I don't need to add or remove anything for FL. I know this state is free, but just want to make sure.

Thanks

Recently got an old SxS double barrel shotgun, which i plan to SBS (obviously going to do the form 1 beofrehand), but which i also needed some tuning for (i.e. lighten opening springs, polish trigger, remove safety connector so it doesnt automatically switch to safe each time you open it up, easy things to do according to the internet but i have no experience with old shotguns so id rather not try)

Is there anyone reputable in or near miami who can chop and crown a side by side double barrel if i show them the form 1, and do the tuning i need? bonus points if they can also rework a spare stock i have for it into a small birdshead style grip. thanks

Good day all, I've been putting off assembling a nice AR for a while because the upper is deliberately kind of undersized and the mfg (BCM) states that it needs heat applied to install the barrel.

I know this is pretty straightforward but my tools are a little limited and for sure this is my first build so I dont want to make a hash of it. I had a shop near me that did nice work but has closed so I wonder if anyone can mention someone reasonably nearby that they would recommend for this type of work? Thanks in advance for the help!

For private in person sales from armslist is every seller required to check ID? Will they get in trouble if they don’t check ID, and what is required for them to see for private sales?

I work 4 10 hour days a during the week. Are there any ranges that open before 10 am in Broward/Dade? Id like to get more time in.

I saw one of these for 9,000.00 with transfers included, is it a good deal or over pay?

I have a Tikka T3X Hunter in 270 Win and looking to get the barrel threaded. I have used a gun smith local to me but it was not A good experience. Thanks for any recommendations

Sorry about the ask, but I am looking for a FFL to ship a firearm to California in the next few weeks. Long story short this is a family transfer and the FFL near me will accept the package. The issue is that, (per every gun store I have called) California regulations suck a$$ and everyone refuses to deal with us lol.

Been in the market for a x macro comp, but anybody trying to offload one down here is trying to sell it for 700-800 bone stock! Are y’all delusional down here?!

My gun room is small.. thinking about string folding arms attached to wall so my workbench can fold flat when not cleaning or working on guns.

Anybody do something similar? See a couple sturdy looking fold down brackets on Amazon but would love advice or suggestions

if its not necessarily accessible by me like under her seat or on her side of the car or maybe her purse

I’m moving to school alone next semester and was hoping to have a firearm for self defense, but my parents are against guns. Is it legal for my brother to gift me his old handgun, without their knowledge.

Can I just update my address and have a new license issued, or do I have to take a class and get fingerprinted again?

Looking to purchase my first hand gun. Was looking for a spot that would let you try some rentals, while additionally giving me some instruction or training. To those who reply, thank you in advance!

Is anyone else having trouble logging into FL Gun Trader? Is it possible that they are deleting accounts to make you create another one and pay "a one time small fee of $3"? Thanks.

I didn’t know Florida banned binary triggers. I’m looking up the info and can’t find if it’s true or not. I just moved from Louisiana.

Anyone have recommendations for a reliable rifle barrel threading service near St Pete/Largo/Clearwater?

I have astigmatism and I'm in the market for a red dot. I'm in Jacksonville, but I'll traveling down to DeLand/Orange City area today. Any recommendations for a store where I can look through the red dots for sale to see how they do with my astigmatism?

I usually shop online for gun accessories, but that won't work in this circumstance.

First off, i know most of you arent lawyers and i wont base my actions off of any advuce given here. That being said, i am seeing very conflicting info in regards to carrying a concealed gun into an airport, specifically into the "non-sterile" areas (baggage claim, check in areas, etc). Basically any areas you dont need to go through security to get to.

If you do a simple google search you will find a bunch of articles saying its illegal to bring a gun into an airport. However if you look at the actual statutes, it specifies "passenger terminals" and "sterile areas" as being off limits. For instance from the FL Statute 790.06- Section 12 Subsection A it states:

The inside of the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft

Im guessing the confusion is coming from the ambiguous definition of the "passenger terminal". Does anyone have any source for the legal defenition of that? My layperson definition would be the area, past TSA security, where you actually board the planes from. But clearly, there is some other definition which also includes baggage claim and check in counter areas?

Hey everyone , I’m looking for a place to shoot up here in north florida. I’ve been to gateway but it’s not with the membership for what you get. I’d like to find a place I can do some tactical training with walk and shoot, reloads, and different shooting positions. Anyone know a place other than tango down?
