General Discussion / KHSC question

« on: April 06, 2016, 05:38:50 PM »

I am new to Oahu and finally have my shooting sticks in hand. What do I need to shoot at KHSC? What is the cost? All I could find on the Web page was target stand dimentions. Do I need to build one before going?
Thanks

Reloading / Reloading on Oahu

« on: March 10, 2016, 06:31:48 PM »

I know this has been asked and answered, but the last info I have seen is about a year old so I am breathing life into the question again.

I am new to Oahu; Navy brought me over from San Diego, and I am looking to reload for my .264LBC (and a couple others). Is there a reasonable priced place for powder and primers?

In San Diego, we would do group buys for powder and get 8-10 folks to buy in to a lot of powder to avoid the Hazmat and reduce the shipping cost, does that ever happen here? I know Wiedners doesn't care if it is a mixed order of powder and primers as long as it meets a threshold for no hazmat fee.

Finally, the military regularly sells triwalls of brass, usually once fired mil brass in 5.56, 9mm, or 7.62 in the ~2000lb range. These are usually mixed with blank brass (junk) and the last person I talked to in SD that bought one of these had 20-30% loss due to blanks or crushed brass. Is anyone interested in pursuing the purchase of bulk brass like this?

Update. Took the guns in yesterday, I got a much later start than I wanted and didn't get down there until about 9:30. There was a bit of a wait, but only about seven people ahead of me. Once I got to the window they took all the firearms and inspected and filled out the forms, then gave me the forms to sign. Easy day.
Once I got my registration form I noticed that three guns were left off, I brought it up to them and they took care of it right away. Had a good conversation with the Officer about some of the guns I brought in. Good times.

I did notice that one guy that was in had a huge chip on his shoulder and surprisingly enough that didn't make the process go any easier...

All good stuff. Thanks.

Do I need to bring my firearms with me when I register? All of them? I don't want to look like a nut job.

As I stated in the new member intro, I am inbound HI in a couple weeks and am trying to get smart on the processes in HI.

I know that I have to register my firearms

with the HPD, but what do I need when I show up to the HPD? I am bringing three long guns and about 10 handguns with me, do I need to bring them with me when I register?

What is the deal with medical/mental/doctors note?

Separate question, I know standard capacity mags are a no-go for handguns, but I am bringing a match AR, should I pack my standard capacity mags for it?

Thanks for your help and I look forward to meeting some of you.

Greetings!
The worlds finest Navy has decided that I have done enough damage in CA and is moving me to HI in a couple of weeks.

I grew up with firearms. My dad built the house I grew up in and built a shooting range in the upstairs. As I got to be a teenager disputes were settled by a shoot-off.

Living in CA has been interesting as a firearm collector. The days of shooting whenever I wanted turned into only being able to shoot when the BLM and CA police/fire thinks it's safe...ugh.

I know that HI is no easy day for shooting sports, in fact, from what I have read in some ways it is more restrictive than CA. Oh well, it will make me appreciate the free states even more.

I am looking forward to meeting some of you and collaborating with all of you.

Stay sharp and keep your powder dry.
