PCC Long Guns and Interchangeable mags

Looking at a possible Vermont move from NH. If I own a pistol caliber carbine (CX4 storm in this case) how does the magazine capacity laws work. Is the 15 round mag legal in the 92 pistol but illegal when I load it into the carbine?

Lower options

Who has the most choices for lowers in stock? Also does the waiting period apply to lowers? Haven’t bought one since before it was implemented…..

Yes I know I can order whatever but I’m impatient 😂

Questions about shooting on your own land

So I'm a young-ish shooter and I don't own any land now (only ever shot on public land and at the range) but long term I want to buy some land in NEK (within 45 min of saint J) and build a house.

If possible, I would love to have a small backyard range, (no more than 75 yards) but that leads me to some questions:

-How much land is enough? Would 5-10 acres be too small to safely set up a range?

-What is the best material for a backstop?

-If I am outside a town/city, are there any discharge/noise ordnances I should be aware of?

-What is the best way to be conscientious and courteous to my neighbors, if I have any? any experience with neighbors that complain? what's the best way to work it out in a polite and civil manner?

Apologies for my ignorance and thank you for your ideas!

Looking for a walkthrough

Hi there. I’m looking to purchase a firearm and have only done so one other time at the Kittery Trading Post when I lived in NH. My boyfriend at the time helped me through the process at that time back in ‘09. Can anyone walk me through what to expect now, especially living in a different state? Also, are there really no shops down here in southeastern Vermont? I can’t seem to find any which makes the purchasing part difficult :).

Thanks in advance!

Operation Bullseye

Hey all,

This is a pretty cool opportunity that comes once a year. Especially for long range shooters. The Vermont National Guard is opening up the ranges at Camp Ethan Allen Training Site to the public for the day. I have been able to shoot one of my personal rifles out to 1300M at this range. Rare for VT. Details at link.

Pistol restrictions?

Is there any way an individual below 21 can acquire a pistol in VT? Are there any loopholes or work-arounds to get by the ban below 21?

Ranges in Chittenden County

I know CCF&G is closed to mid August but how about Laberge, are they open after the flooding last week? If not where else is there to go other than Parro’s.

Local kydex holster makers? For my strange and unusual guns.

I'd like to get a few holsters made for some of my collection. I'd rather not ship anything anywhere and I really like driving around Vermont! Thanks for any information.

Ammo delivery in Burlington VT

So I want to buy some bulk ammo. I live in Burlington. I haven't done this in this state. I live in a small apartment building. Deliveries ate left in the front doorway that's unlocked but outside the locked one.

For signatures they never ring for that. I'd likely need to pick up the delivery right? Do they require signature for ammo? My only frame of reference was in CO where they would drop it off on my doorstep with no signature.

Burlington has become a, um, place where dropping off 1000 rounds might be a bad idea. Just wondering where we're at with that. I need to stock up 223 and 9mm!!! Thanks!

G43x sale

I have a G43x I got in a trade right before the private sale bs was enacted with the new 3 day waiting period. I’m looking to trade it for cash to an actual licensed broker in VT. What does that look like? As I said. I acquired legally private sale prior to any of the new laws. Am I going or the person who initially bought it going to get flagged for anything if I take it to say powerhorn (will never go there just an example) for a simple trade?

Thanks!

Pistol gifting?

Is it legal in VT for an immediate family member to gift a pistol to someone who is 20? I haven’t been able to find a clear answer since some websites don’t specify.

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.

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?

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.
