April 25th, 2026 we will be hosting our 2nd "Big Bore Blast" MG and DD shoot. Located at Southington hunt club range in Garrettsville Ohio. We will start the day with hours of open range to blast away at cars and other targets. With a break before dinner as an opportunity for owners to do presentations and demonstrations of their cannons and other unique weapons. Along with a mortar competition. Then finish the event with a night shoot (sunset about 8pm). Camping spots will be available. Some with electric hookups. Food vendors will be on site for lunch and dinner. This year we will have reserved firing line positions, that will be plenty deep to have ample room for setup(12ft wide, or get a 6ft half spot). There is a jungle walk course that will be run by a great training group. Some side bays will be available for companies to reserve for product demonstrations, and we are planning on having a subgun competition practice stage just for fun. MG rentals will be available for all attendees to try out. Last year the available rentals included a minigun and live 40mm HEDP grenade launcher rounds from Washington County Machinguns. Sing up at this link https://chevtecgroup.ticketspice.com/bigboreblast2026 We had some vendors last year but the positioning wasn't the best on the property. I plan to fix that this year with a better setup location and more vendors. If you are interested in setting up, we would most likely be happy to have you. We are currently seeking any sponsors interested in helping out with the event. As sponsorship money and support really helps to ensure that this kind of thing is successful and can continue to happen. Email me if your are interested or know someone that may be.

This. I've done the same. If they ask why you want to know, just tell them that you only need to know the status of the gun in relation to the registry, not any names or anything. Even if they say no, still send in a FOIA request and look for amnesty or other registration paperwork as the NFATR is flawed and incomplete

Yeah I've been recommending the 1/4 power blanks lately for those. As the 1/4 power are even a bit much.

Or in this case, even if there isn't a "will" there was still a way! Hahaha

"Dealer sample items have 50% - 70% discount" Whoever told you that is a f'ing liar. Sure it's 50%+ in something like the HVAC business. Not in the firearm industry. On guns it's very low(sub20% if you are very lucky), on ammo it's practically non-existent, on parts it's somewhere under 50%(more like 20%). One of the biggest disadvantages for a home based person is keeping their inventory squared away and separate from their personal guns. When I take a personal gun into my workshop, I need to tag it so the ATF doesn't stop by and assume I have extra guns I'm selling that aren't on my books.

Same. Only thing I'll attach is the multiple sales form or a form 4.

I think it's mostly just this forum rek. It's a slower forum as is, then add in the more rarity of DDs and you just don't have that much traffic. If you ever want to get a very interested audience, check out the r/40_mm sub-reddit. Reddit sucks and is a cesspool of liberals, so you need to just focus on the sub-reddits that interest you and avoid anything on the homepage

Probably lessens the bolt's impact with the back of the receiver. Making the recoil feel smoother and allowing it to be more controllable

This build is so cool. I've been watching the video a lot. I just did a post sample reweld that I'm troubleshooting. The bolt gets hung up on the rate reducer hook a couple time per mag. But I'm working through it

Did someone say there was a mortar? Anyone know what it went for?

Thanks. It's my favorite at the moment, only because I have shot the mortar yet haha. It always seems like my latest build is my favorite. My M203 with standalone stock definitely doesn't get old. I'll probably be enjoying that for a long time

I just rewelded a postie last week. Still working out a few little kinks but it sure is fun. Best $150 I ever spent

Yeah you'll want to drill them out to at least 1/4 inch. Pretty simple to do with a hand drill. You can go slightly larger but it's not needed. I have seen the aluminum cases damaged from shooting them with full power, burst disk blanks.
