Firearm Forum Question: What Kind of Leather Conditioner to Use on Rifle Slings and Holsters

Ask A Firearms Question:

What kind of Leather Conditioner should I Use on my Rifle Slings and Holsters? 

Thank you Betty the Boop.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

The best product to use is Virgin Olive Oil.
Reason, Olive Oil does not contain water. Many leather conditioners contain water.
Water inhibits rust and corrosion.
Simply apply, let stand for 15 minutes, wipe excess off.
I recommend applying the Virgin Olive Oil to all your leather slings and holsters every 6-months.
You can apply the olive oil to the inside of a holster, it will also help keep moisture off the handgun.

Commentary -

Although there is a lot of hype about leather conditioners Virgin Olive Oil is all natural and will not harm either the sling, holster, or firearm.

==> My recommendation is -
Virgin Olive Oil for all your Firearm Leather Accessories.

Firearm Forum Question: Can a Shotgun Barrel Chamber Be Bored Out

Ask A Firearms Question:

Simply, can a shotgun chamber be bored out to accept a longer shotgun shell, i.e. from 2 3/4-Inch to 3 1/2-Inch Magnum? 

Thank you Chef Newberger.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

NO

See explanation below ...

Both Shotguns and Rifles are chambered in certain size and caliber ammo; or shotgun shells for a reason.

The pressure and blowback gases are extreme when a round goes off.

This is why the metal at the chamber (bore) is thicker than the metal at the end of barrel.

For more on Shotgun Pressure ...

Issued as a Guideline from GunDigest:

SAAMI has organized U.S. Gun Manufacturers to adhere to a set of standards for service pressure, and all modern models of guns made in the US are proofed or tested to make sure they withstand these pressures.

Service pressure is predicated on the diameter of the bore (its gauge) and the length of the chamber (in inches).

More information is available on GunDigest website at -

http://www.gundigest.com

See pictures below ....

Commentary -

Some barrels are interchangeable but this is not the same as modifying an existing barrel. Also there are aftermarket barrels that may accommodate the shooters needs.

==> My recommendation is -
Do not modify a barrel by drilling out the bore size to accommodate a different size round or length of shell.

Firearm Forum Question: Understanding The Gun Control Issues, an Overview

Ask A Firearms Question:

I am having problems with this whole Gun Ownership Debate. Can you please sum up what the hell is going on with my 2nd Amendment and these so-called Gun Rights issues? 

Thank you Charles (Charlie) Everett Rhodes.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

I will try.

First it is important to forget what bill is introduced in Congress for the simple reason we have 3 individual but distinct branches of the government:
The Congress (U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate); The President (White House); and Judicial (Federal Courts).

In Congress bills are introduced either by the Senate or the House. If one has something different then a caucus is held between the 2 houses to come up with a final bill. Sometimes, one may pass a bill but it must go to the other for approval. If both houses in Congress approve a final version of the bill, then goes to the President for approval and signature. It then becomes the law of the land until a Federal Court determines otherwise.

Now onto the general outline of the Gun Control Issues:
The two major parties (Democrats and Republicans) seriously differ on Gun Control.
Basically the Democrats want the following passed into legislation and they are not willing to compromise on their issues, thus we get deadlock and nothing passed.

At issue are the following items -

1) The Democrats want the Assault Rifle Ban back with even stricter provisions. This would prevent, in most cases, items such as an AR15 or AK-47 sale. 

2) The Democrats want to limit the size of Magazines for any weapon to a maximum of 10-rounds.

3) The Democrats want to ban anyone on the Terrorist Watch List and/or the No-Fly List to purchase a firearm of any type. The Republicans oppose this primarily because they say some people get on the list and don't belong there. The Republicans want a person on any LIST to have the right to a hearing by a Federal Magistrate or Judge to get their name off the list. Democrats have opposed this even though some members of Congress have been placed on the No Fly List. 

4) The Democrats want to make it mandatory that ALL Gun Sales must have a background check. Simply this closes the loop hole on gun sales at Gun Shows and Online Sales. The primary problem with this is it prevents a person from selling their own privately owned firearm to another person. It also may be interpreted by the courts that you cannot inherit a firearm without a background check.

=> Most Republicans with help from the NRA (National Rifle Association), and GOA (Gun Owners of America) oppose these changes.

Note: To get a bill passed requires 60 votes in the U.S. Senate. This again is why the 2016 Presidential Election is so important. Hillary Clinton supports everyone of these measures, while Donald Trump opposes most of them.

=== > This posting is NOT a Legal Opinion nor does it claim to cover or explain all the Gun Issues facing America today.

Caution Readers: When viewing Internet sites such as Yahoo News and Google News -or- Listening to News Broadcast on the TV, be aware that almost every broadcast from CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News is tainted mostly leaning toward a Liberal agenda. Newscasters today cannot report the NEWS accurately they must slant it in their favor. Some of these news casts are outright lies and fabrications. One of the problems with sites like Yahoo News is they pick up news from other sites and published it without checking the content or accuracy.

Firearm Forum Question: Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Case on Firearms, a Win for Anti-Gun Supporters

Ask A Firearms Question:

Can you share any information on the recent Supreme Court ruling banning certain types of weapons including assault rifles? 

Thank you Benjamin R. Suncrest.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

The U.S. Supreme Court, currently short one judge, ruled on Monday, June 20, 2016, in a split decision 4-4 that they would NOT hear an appeals case banning Assault Weapons passed in Connecticut and New York.
This puts a serious blow to Gun Owners.
It allows the laws passed in Connecticut and New York to stand, at least for now.

This decision comes just after the Orlando shootings by an ISIS follower and born U.S. Radicalized Muslim.

The Connecticut weapons (gun) ban was passed after the Sandy Hook Shootings by Governor Dannel Malloy in April 2013. Expanding on an earlier assault weapons ban in the state, it banned more than 100 types of firearms along with magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a similar ban in New York.

This is a serious blow to Gun Owners and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, The Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Anti-Gun Liberal loons are just thrilled with themselves. President Obama said. "This is a start but does not go far enough."

Not covered in the news, it does, however, support the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution concerning States Rights.

IMPORTANT: This is why this years presidential election is so damn important. If you are a Gun owner or plan on becoming a Gun Owner or someone in you family is a Gun owner you cannot allow Hillary Clinton to become President of the United States.
Reason: The next president will be appointing new judges, possible as many as 3 to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The democrat agent is to abolish the 2nd Amendment and take away everyone's guns, regardless of what they say. There methodology is to slowly erode your gun rights, and they have been very successful since 1928. In short, Liberals never pass up the opportunity to create havoc among voters by using a tragedy to expand their Liberal agenda.
The First Amendment gives us the Right to Free Speech and Religion, but remember the Second Amendment insures the First and all others cannot be taken away by an out of control government.

Firearm Forum Question: What Does it Mean When a Firearm Discharges Out-of-Battery

Ask A Firearms Question:
What Does it Mean When a Gun Discharges Out of Battery? 
Thank you The Patriot Train.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
This is when a Firearm discharges (fires) when the slide or bolt is not fully closed. This can result in the firearm exploding sending shrapnel flying everywhere injuring or killing the user (shooter), and any bystanders to close.
See photos below ....

Firearm Forum Question: Can You Sell a Firearm Without a Serial Number

Ask A Firearms Question:
My grandfather left me an old shotgun that does not appear to have any serial number, is this legal to own, and can I resell it? 
Thank you James Woodall.

Published for Readers Information and Content Only

Not a Legal Opinion

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Yes this firearm is legal to own, shoot, and resell as long as it meets the minimum barrel length and overall length as defined by the ATF.

If a firearm has been modified or is a fully automatic weapon you can still legally own the weapon but you need to acquire a Federal Tax Stamp from the ATF, the current cost is $200.00 per firearm.

More ....
Generally when these older weapons are sold through a license gun dealer (FFL) or an auction house they fill out the required ATF form for transfer and where it indicates a Serial Number (S/N) they write ...
NVSN (No Visible Serial Number).
Prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968, the U.S. Government Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) did not require manufacturers to have serial numbers on a firearm of any type. Many manufacturers had a serial number dating back to the 1800s but there was no regulation requiring such markings.
However after the Gun Control Act of 1968, known as the GCA, ALL new firearms manufactured for sale in the United States had to have a serial number.

There are some exceptions about serial numbers:
Prototypes by Licensed Gun Manufacturers are generally exempt
Weapons made by non FFL manufacturers are exempt
Modified Weapons (however, these require a Federal Tax Stamp from the ATF)
Weapons made for the Military or Intelligence Agencies are exempt

Important Note: Removal of a Serial Number is a Federal Crime.

Related Gun Ownership Information ....
1) It is prohibited to own, make, or sell Undetectable Firearms (any firearm with less than 
    3.7 ounces of metal content , or 3D made plastic).
2) Personal Ownership of a Fully Automatic or a Modified Firearm to be Fully Automatic is 
    prohibited unless the individual has acquired a Federal Tax Stamp from the ATF.
3) The interstate private sale of a firearm with or without a serial number is prohibited, this 
     sale must go through a licensed FFL (be shipped by an FFL located in your state to a 
     Licensed FFL in the state in which the buyer resides).
4) Local State, County, and City Laws may exist in your area for the sale, trade, or
    purchase of firearms. Check with a local FFL in your area, or the local police with  
    jurisdiction, or a lawyer with knowledge of firearm laws.

Firearm Forum Question: Shotgun Shell Recall

Ask A Firearms Question:
I was recently given a box of 12 Gauge Hevi Steel Shotgun Shells. At the gun range I was about to test some when a person came up and said these are on Recall, is that true?
Thank you George Applebee.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Yes, There is a RECALL Notice out on the above Shotgun Shells (ammo).
This Recall Notice was issued in November 2014.
The shotgun shells were sold between July and November 2014.
The recall notice is do to defective Wads in the Shotgun Shell, which may cause a squib round, if a second round is fired this could result in damage to your shotgun or personal injury or both.
