    put on my XS bigdots last night. Can't wait to get to the range and get these sighted. I used a sight pushing tool and it does what it says. Takes a little elbow grease and general tools but if you are the slightest bit handy I'd recommend using one.

    Next upgrade is most likely gonna be the Apex Trigger. The stock trigger for me is the most disappointing part on the Shield.

    My Combat Troodon finally arrived yesterday, pretty large knife. Can't wait to gut my first fish.

    I own a couple of rental homes and a former tenant left a rifle in one. They owed a few months rent and I feel like it is highly unlikely they ever come back for the gun. I know literally nothing about guns/gun laws. Am I able to sale this thing legally? Do I need to go through some sort of licensed dealer? I live in Nebraska if that matters.

    I think the gun is a Remington 783 rifle from google images searches, seems to be in really nice shape so might actually be worth something? I really have no interest in keeping it around long so just want to get rid of it, but would be nice if I could get some cash for it to make up for some of the missed rent payments.

    Is there a good way to figure out the caliber? I honestly have no idea how to tell, I'll try and post some pics later tonight, might not be until tomorrow though.

    Also, my buddy showed me a new way to hold my pistol to help with putting too much pressure on the grip with my lower fingers. Kind of like a golf grip with the bottom fingers interlaced with my left hand to keep them from pulling down. It took some getting used to but I could tell a difference. I'm still off target a bit (but on the paper and in the chest if that's what i'm aiming for) but my grouping was much tighter.

    Now if I could learn to focus with both eyes open but I don't think that's going to happen. Should probably get my eyes checked.

    I'd start a knife thread but I'm pretty sure nobody would ever post on it. Picked up a Translucent Hinderer today, spendy little bastard but I like the Hinderer design my ZT has so I wanted a legit one.

    The caliber is 7mm magnum.

    Just a cursory look at gunbroker.com seems like it is selling for $200-$300.

    This looks to be a pretty comparable gun with a little bit newer scope. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/591074758

    Spoons if that would have indeed been a 783 and not a 710 and in .25-06 instead of 7 mag I would have bought it.

    I'm hoping to pull the trigger on an AR in the next two weeks. Buy an already built and then buy a lower as a project.

    My first one I bought already tricked out. Second I bought bone stock than just started adding piece by piece.

    Pretty sure you can build an AR-47 (shoots 7.62 which is much cheaper than .223) from PSA for like $5-$600

    Does it make all current 10+ magazines illegal and therfore their owners criminals? Or is it like Colorado where they just aren't allowed to sell anymore but are allowed to keep ones already owned?

    They banned high capacity magazines back in 2000, those that already had them were allowed to keep them. Prop 63 removed that clause, now if you are in possession of one you are technically breaking the law. We also have to go through a background check and pay a 50 dollar fee just to buy fucking ammo.
