How to sell/trade ammo in Vermont?
I’m in Washington county. I recently bought a 6.5 creedmore that came with 200 rounds (10 boxes) of brand new S&B ammo (131gr). I’m looking to either sell it or trade it. I don’t shoot a ton outside hunting and prefer hornady. Any idea how to do that in Vermont?

Anywhere available for night shooting?
Curious if there are any other fellow nods enjoyers that may know of an area to do some night shooting? I know this is a super niche ask and likely will come down to finding someone with private secluded land to facilitate, but figured I'd throw an ask out while I continue to search for the holy grail.
I've been looking all over the state for state land that might facilitate, but it seems pretty limited being there are no BLM areas here in state. Also to be honest, even if I found a decent spot in a spot like the Green Mountain National Forest - I'd still be a bit worried about disturbing people.
I'm located in Franklin County, but I'd be willing to travel most places in state if there is a place to get some shooting in. Likewise, if someone here has land they'd be willing to let myself and a couple friends use I'd be glad to pay for the time. Shooting would be done suppressed with respect to any asks from the property owner as well.

Looking for ranges that allow working from a holster, USPSA style practical shooting, no rapid fire rules etc
Currently live in NY state, and am spoiled with a 5 lane outdoor range that has few rules, and holds USPSA matches twice a month. In a few years I will most likely be moving out of state, either to VT or PA. Shooting is my #1 hobby, and I don't want to move somewhere and be at a range that only allows one shot per second, and no holsters.
From the USPSA website it looks like Green Mountain Practical Shooters at Lamoille Valley Fish and Game is the only place that does matches regularly. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Would this range be my best option? Fortunately I'm not too tied to one specific location in Vermont...but the closer to Albany/Saratoga NY the better.

Neighbor shooting 100ft from my house
Hey y'all,
Was suggested to post here with my situation. Moved into a trailer in E Montpelier and had my neighbors shooting into my property 100ft from my house.
I talked to them and they were dismissive of my concern and antagonistic when I asked if they could shoot into their own property.
I know about a "safe zone", but not sure what good that'll do when they tried to twll me my land isnt mine even though I paced the bounds and found my corner stakes.
Whats a good approach from here. Not trying to start a feud or a war with the people next over. Pretty fucking pissed.

Any local shops that refinish gun parts?
I have an FAL lower that I want to change from its current silver (paint?) form and have it match the black phosphate of the barrel and receiver. Any shops out there that can help me?

New bill would make it illegal for Vermonters to bring guns to the polls

Does anybody know what’s up with CCFGC? Are they ever going to reopen? I bought a new membership this year, without even knowing the range was closed. I have reached out to multiple people, but have heard nothing back.

Any gay gun clubs?

small, local guns shops in Vermont
My partner is compiling a list of small gun shops in the state. In particular, looking for outfits larger than a kitchen-table FFL, but we've already got the major names in the state (Powderhorn, Parro's, Pigeon's) … companies that might want to advertise in the community.
Here's the list so far: Piper Custom Gunworks, Atlas Gun Works, Eagle Gun Worx, 802firearms, North Star Guns, VT Field Sports, Charlie's Gun Shop, Patriot Arms LLC, Lonely Mountain Arms, Henry Repeating Arms, America Bluing and Guns, and Catamount Arms LLC, Rack n Reel, D'Attillios.
What's missing?

H.582 - what can we do to be proactive?
What can we do as gun owners to be proactive about fighting H.582? This AWB is not the first attempted, but it’s the worst trash I’ve seen. Turning every semi auto owner in the state into a criminal on passage is egregious. I’d really like to help fight this and curious what others are planning on doing at these early stages.
Write and call local reps? What else? Any specific communications guidelines?
Thanks for your thoughts

how can we leverage this type of data against further attempts to regulate our rights
There are more drug overdose deaths than car accidents and violence committed with guns combined but our state keeps trying to regulate our 2A rights and dump money into enabling drug use. Safe injection sites will only keep users using, driving demand for the same influx of drugs and drug related crime we are trying to deal with currently. They'll then try to use that same crime they've enabled to justify restricting our rights even more.

72 Hour Waiting Period Question
Hey all I’m a Vermont state resident, if I purchase a gun out of state, does the 72 hour waiting period still apply? I was under the impression the law applied to all purchases in Vermont state, however a gun store in Lebanon, NH informed me I would need to wait if I bought from their store. Just looking for clarity as I’m considering buying a firearm in another state I’m licensed in. Thanks!

6 months waiting period after becoming a new resident?
I’m a new resident and just got my VT license. Is there a waiting period before I can purchase a handgun? Someone at a local shop told me that it was 6 months. I’ve done a little research and I’ve only found info on the 72hr waiting period.

Would I be allowed to get 10+ rd M1 carbine magazines if I owned a pre 1973/C&R carbine?
Exactly the title. For those who don't know, the 2018 mag ban excludes mags for curios and relics.

Is there a 72 hour waiting period for NFA items as well? After approval.

Looking for advice on antique firearm
Hello VTGuns,
I'm seeking advice on an antique civil war rifle. I believe it to be a Sharps Cavalry Carbine from the late 1800s. It's in bad shape with rust and pitting throughout. It is missing part of the sight and the entire lock assembly on the right side of the receiver. There are a few engravings on it as follows: the sight reads "RS LAWRENCE PATENTED FEB 15th 1859" the left side of the receiver is partly worn off and the remaining reads "...PAT...12th 1848" and the serial number on the tang of the receiver on top reads "64711." I haven't found much info online about it and there are no listings of similarly poor condition on Gunbroker to compare to. I don't know what caliber it is. I've reached out to a few local shops in central VT but, they haven't been much help. I'm wondering if any of you might be able to give more info as well as advice on where or how best to sell it. I've also posted this in r/AntiqueGuns and r/Milsurps Thanks.
