Here's the work around. People that hunt outside of their state do this kind of stuff all of the time:



May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity?


 Yes. A person may ship a firearm to or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner “in the care of” the out–of–State resident. Upon reaching its destination, persons other than the owner may not open the package or take possession of the firearm.

I found this on the ATF site:



To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA?


A person may transfer a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his or her State, provided the transferor does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the transferee is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. There may be State laws that regulate intrastate firearm transactions. A person considering transferring a firearm should contact his or her State Attorney General’s Office to inquire about the laws and possible State or local restrictions.

Generally, for a person to lawfully transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person who resides out of State, the firearm must be shipped to a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) within the transferee’s State of residence. The transferee may then receive the firearm from the FFL upon completion of an ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check.

A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he or she or she does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. Another exception is provided for transfers of firearms to nonresidents to carry out a lawful bequest or acquisition by intestate succession. This exception would authorize the transfer of a firearm to a nonresident who inherits a firearm under the will of a decedent.

A person may transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.

[18 U.S.C 922(a)(5) and 922(d); 27 CFR 478.30, 478.32]


It also appears that even if you have to go the ffl route, it's only on the receiving end.

Accuracy, or room clearing. You want a "do it all" gun?

This is what I ended up with. Only time will tell if it's accurate (I'm hoping for a 6-800 yard gun)



This place is in Scottsdale, and they had all the parts in stock, built it, test fired, and shipped to me in 2 days.

Awe heck. The oil came from the ground, I feel that's it's only our duty to put it back there!

jk, but for what it's worth, my shop is septic, and washing our nasty hands 20 or more (2-3 people) times a day for several years hasn't affected it. The bacteria is stronger than Zep hand cleaner I guess....but...I also keep straight chemicals/oil out of the sink.

« on: August 16, 2016, 09:50:02 AM »
Ken, I was figuring for a 20' trailer. I agree it can be built lighter, 3" channel will hold most likely. Also I didn't specify on what centers for the angle or c front to rear & they are not crossing the whole trailer side to side only under the ramps. Center of trailer is open or expanded metal.

I don't recall him telling me what vehicle he was hauling so I figured 4" was safe go between the 3" & what they were talking about.

Gotcha. I can see clearly now, the rain is gone.

Shawn, that seems like overkill for a 7k trailer. Just sayin'. I know you like to do things overkill (as well do I) but the idea is to be able to haul the heaviest weight with the least amount of trailer weight as possible and still be safe. I'll weight for your lashing. :)


18' is a perfect length car hauler imo. I've used the 3 common ones quite a bit..16, 18, and 20. the 20 always drags...always. The 16 is short for hauling trucks. The 18 will fit our trucks and still have room for movement.

Again, just my opinions.

It's 2 X 4 .250".
Was all I had available. Has been sufficient so far.
The 2 X 9 is likely overkill.

Do you think? lol

Hey, my favorite saying is "if it's free, it's for me!"...especially when it comes to metal.

..and x1000 on the tie down points. you can never have enough. My open trailer is a Big Tex 8k, built out of angle, so I have plenty of places to hook to, but with tubing, hook placement is a bit limited.

I agree completely. We tend to only hear from the outspoken people, the ones full of hot air, the liberals, until the right buttons get pushed.

Just an FYI for anyone that doesn't know...on axles that have a grease fitting,  the passage way for the grease is usually drilled through the axle and emerges near the inside bearing.  It does not lube the outside bearing unless you pump the entire hub full, which then has to push the grease through the bearing.  The most popular types (the ones that I have seen) have a cap with a spring loaded washer that acts as a storage area for the lube. The spring forces the lube back in the hub as needed. .The problem is that the pressure of this spring,  and heat doing what it does to grease,  will push it past the China seals, which also don't hold up to heat very well.
Sidenote: Some axles also have a bleed hole drilled into the back of the spindle to relieve the moisture,  or extra grease when someone gets happy with the lube gun. It's a good idea to clean those out while it's apart.

What are you building? / Re: Re-tiling my bathroom floor
« on: August 11, 2016, 05:46:29 PM »
Yeah. Use a trough with 1/4" teeth (most common), lay it at a 45*, and scrape, keeping all the grooves in the same direction. This allows (helps) trapped air to escape from under the tile.

...and you keep the mud just thick enough to where the ridges that you create with the trough, don't just slump out, but not so thick that the tile doesn't want to compress the air out from underneath.

4744

« on: August 11, 2016, 02:08:49 PM »
That's about it. If the tile won't "pop" up, just smack it with a hammer, and it will come loose pretty easily. Even the subfloor doesn't have to be perfectly flat, but the flatter it is, the less mud you'll have to use on the tile. Even an uneven floor can look good as long as the tiles match each other in height (it's hard to see dips once finished).
Now, the stuff bear is doing will have you pulling your hair out. I did my bathroom, from chair rail down, in southwestern patterns, and it took a couple months doing it after work each night.

You pulling All of the tile? I have a little experience with tile. It's a little hard to do door jams without a saw, but laying tile is a remedial job at best.....ie...If i can do it, you can do it! hardest part is keeping them level..make the mud too thick, they won't "mallet" down, too thin, and they "fall" lower than the surrounding ones.
Chalk line it out to keep them straight, and pre-lay some in the middle to make sure it will work out.Oh, and knee pads are a must!

Exactly what Jon said^^^.
The only time I would recommend pumping up a hub completely full of grease is on a boat trailer, to push out moisture.  Putting too much in a hub that also has brakes, will cause the bearings to run hotter.
...and don't tighten the bearings. I've seen this on brand new trailers. Doing that will cause them to heat up and turn the grease into oil in no time.   Snug is good, and a little loose is better than a little tight.
