So I’ll be moving to Kauai soon and was wondering if anyone has any info on if it’s possible to ship my bulk ammo and powder to the beautiful garden isle. I have inquired with YB so just waiting on a response from them but wondering if anyone has experience doing this. Mahalo in advance.

Preparedness and Survival / White river knives
« on: January 05, 2024, 07:06:59 PM »
Any WRK owners here? Specifically the Ursus 45. I was about to pull the trigger on a benchmade 162 bushcrafter but then came across the ursus 45. Same steel different handle material but it comes with a way better sheath. How do you guys like your white river knives?

Legal and Activism / Emailed permits
« on: November 27, 2023, 01:01:43 PM »
Turned in my PTA after an hour and a half wait and I was informed that emailed permits are “not a priority”. I will have to “be patient” about getting my permit if I choose to get it emailed to me. Then I was told that if I request it to be emailed and it doesn’t come in on time it will be a “problem” if I come in person to pick it up. There will be “unhappy officers”.

Just a heads up for everyone thinking about getting a PTA. Also if your parking underneath go ahead and put the maximum 2 hours in.

Reloading / Charge weight vs seating depth
« on: September 25, 2023, 09:05:31 PM »
I’ve been googling the answer but it seems to be a lot more complicated than I can comprehend at the moment. What are your guys thoughts? From what I can understand it seems charge weight comes first until you find the right “accuracy node” (wth is that) until the grouping goes vertical? Then you fine tune the group with depth seating?

What are your favorite methods?

Reloading / Chronographs?
« on: September 21, 2023, 11:16:48 AM »
Looking to get a chronograph. I’ve read that the budget Caldwell precision chronograph is pretty hit or miss. Lots of issues and weather seems to affect it a lot. I was looking between the G2 Caldwell which seems to be better built and the V3 which seems to be really popular. Anybody got any experience with these? Or can anyone recommend a good chronograph in the $200-300 range?

Firearms and Accessories / Torque wrenches
« on: September 03, 2023, 09:54:37 PM »
Aloha all, so I have a VX-5HD coming in to mount onto my model 70 and I want to do it on my own. I’m currently gathering the tools for it and I’m looking for a good torque wrench. I was looking at the fat wrench but I’ve seen people say that it has some accuracy issues. I’ve been looking toward the fix it sticks or the wheeler fat sticks. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a good torque wrench.

Firearms and Accessories / Redhawk off gunbroker
« on: April 28, 2023, 02:13:31 PM »
So bought a redhawk off of Gunbroker and just picked it up from my FFL today. FFL said they noticed some carbon in the cylinder (it was supposed to be brand new) and when I opened up the cylinder it seems there’s some shearing going on with the portion of the barrel that faces the cylinder. Has anyone had experience contacting a seller  on gunbroker about an issue with a firearm purchase? Any advice on what I should do? Should I just contact ruger directly?

General Discussion / Pistol braces
« on: March 27, 2023, 10:12:43 AM »
Can someone explain to me the uproar over stabilizing braces? I understand that the product was designed to help disabled veterans but it seems to me that the pistol brace is simply a loophole to circumvent the NFA. Now I’m all for that but it seems that it is well within ATFs regulatory powers to conclude that since most people are using it as an attachment to create an SBR, they can regulate that accessory.

Now dont get all nuts I’m not supporting the ATF or anything the entire department needs to be dumped, but why not just call it what it is and fight to get SBRs taken off the NFA?

Reloading / Neck thickness variance
« on: December 27, 2022, 07:18:06 PM »
How much case neck thickness variance do you guys expect from your brass? Like for example if I bought a bunch of brand new Lapua brass should I expect a lot of variance in the thickness of the neck? Im looking into some FL bushing dies (LE Wilson or Redding type S) but I don’t want to have to sort out the brass by case thickness and buy a different bushing for each batch of brass. I’m probably going way over board but just trying to understand the process.

Reloading / Belted magnum cartridges
« on: November 18, 2022, 07:35:17 PM »
Finally got my hands on a model 70 in 300 win mag. In my limited research so far I’ve learned that these magnum chambers are really long. Therefore “bumping” the shoulders a few thousandths of an inch seem to be the preferred amount. Otherwise the cases fail quickly. My question is how do you full length resize the body while also controlling the amount you bump the shoulder?

Legal and Activism / Permit to acquire incident
« on: June 04, 2022, 01:59:41 PM »
Has anybody ever been made to put “No local doctor” on one of the forms to get a PTA? I went in on the 1st to renew my permit, with no issues I filled out the form and went on my way. I came back a few days later to apply for a handgun permit and the officer behind the window asks me “is this doctor with Straub or Kaiser?” I was a little confused cuz I had never been asked that question before. Now mind you I am a typical male that hates going to the doctor and since my 18th birthday I’ve seen my primary physician maybe twice. Anyway I had a confused look on my face and I had to think for a second and before I could answer he rolls his eyes at me and asks me when was the last time I visited my Dr. I told him “idk” the last time I saw him. Another officer asks if I have seen him within three years and I said I don’t think so. They then made me put “no local doctor” on the paper. What does this mean? Has anyone else done this?

Firearms and Accessories / O/U shotguns
« on: May 28, 2022, 12:17:37 PM »
Looking to get a nice O/U shotgun for bird hunting. I’ve had my eye open for a Winchester 101 but looks like I’d have to get real real lucky to find one. There’s a benelli 828U at a LGS and I was wondering if anyone had any input on that shotgun? I did some research online and it seems there’s a mixed bag of people having issues with it and some who love it. Also does anyone have recommendations for a nice O/U that they have experience with? Mahalo!

General Discussion / Special ordering firearms
« on: February 23, 2022, 03:28:57 PM »
Aloha gang

Was wondering what kind of experiences people are having with regards to special ordering firearms that aren’t in stock at any of the LGS. I’ve almost saved up for my next purchase and I’ve called 2 of the stores that I usually go to to buy firearms and one has informed me that because of the demand and supply issues they’re not even taking orders.

So how long have some of you had to wait for your special order firearms?

Political Discussion / Hawaii DOH
« on: January 03, 2022, 08:12:18 AM »
According to our Department of Health guess what we should be focusing on!

Eat better? Nope.
Exercise more? Nope.
Save money? Nope.


 :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Link not working. Anyway DOH instagram has a New Years resolution video saying what the easiest resolution should be, it’s not any of the three up top it’s getting your vaccine.

Reloading / Weird request
« on: September 25, 2021, 11:42:32 AM »
Aloha fellow reloaders was just wondering if anyone has an extra Dillon 550 packaging box laying around. I need to put mine into storage for a little while and I’d rather rest my baby comfortably in her foam formed box. I can throw in some cash on my end.

Mahalo!

Legal and Activism / Passing background check
« on: September 10, 2021, 10:24:35 PM »
Aloha gang, just wanted to pose a question for a buddy of mine who’s looking to purchase his first gun.

So when he was younger he got arrested for assault on an officer. He was fighting someone and cop came up behind him, grabbed him and my friend elbowed the cop not knowing it was a cop. Buggah got arrested and the rest is history.

My question is, does anyone have any experience on how to rectify this issue? I remember walking in to HPD to get a PTA and some local Braddah was snapping at the cops because they denied him the permit because of a charge he had on his record. They told him all he needed to do was get a pardon from the governor. However my friend went into a LGS and they told him he’d have to get it expunged and he’d have to hire a lawyer and everything.

So does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing?
