Sounds like I'm making the best decision in handloading and that was to ask people about it who have first hand. One of the guys in my chapter gave me a wealth of info over the phone the other night. Sounds like it just takes some research and patience...after the initial investment. Though I've seen some good prices running around the web. I'm confident I will be handloading before the year is out.

Big step in my life today, in the right direction as well.

Good deal Josh, You gonna go AR or M4?

 

[XJosh95]

M4. I found a nice M4 stock kit with rubber hand grip for it. Primary plan (subject to change) is to buy a 14.5" DGI 5.56 upper and later on convert it to gas piston.

Even further down the road, I hope to build/buy a 20" .300BKT DGI upper.

I inherited a few things recently:


A Sheridan Model EB 20 cal pellet gun(circa 1985):

Sheridan Knocabout .22 single shot(circa 1953-1959):

You have to be careful because if you forget to engage the safety before loading the next round the firing pin is down and during loading you could potentially fire a round.:bangtard:

I recently moved to Denver from Kansas. Can I transfer my ccw permit?

 

[in4aride]

Colorado and Kansas share reciprocity so your permit is good here.

 

[in4aride]

just a few pics from this weekend. (for those that care - yes, we used our own targets and backboards, on a backdrop, and picked up all our trash/shells )

 

[Frank Z]

Since Kansas has a Reciprocity Agreement (http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/Colorado/) with Colorado regarding CCP, it should be a simple matter of contacting the Sheriffs Department in the County you reside in.

[UnlimitedMatt]

Or at least, you are going to miss...

 

[in4aride]

Its hard to hold a rifle and camera and hold it steady and on precise point long enough to snag pic. hush.

 

[XJosh95]

Big step in my life today, in the right direction as well.

Ordered my stripped A3 upper today.

I've got my M4 stock, handle, lower spring/trigger kit and a couple other misc things picked out.

Building a Cadillac, one piece at at time.

 

[XCastleXJ]

A Cadillac? That's suppose to be a battle rifle! Not a pretty princess pew-pew!

Talk about short notice! Maybe one of our three West Slope members can attend.

The Grand Junction Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is hosting a meeting that the agency describes as gathering ideas from the public on target shooting opportunities and management in the Grand Junction Field Office. The BLM is in the process of updating its Resource Management Plan, which was last updated for this area in 1987. Information gathered at this meeting will influence what lands remain open to shooting in the future.

The meeting is scheduled for September 10th at 6pm at the Courtyard by Marriott on Horizon Drive, Grand Junction, CO.

The Grand Junction Field Office manages two developed shooting ranges and has more than one million additional acres available for dispersed target shooting (http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/gjfo/recreation/shooting.html). BLM's announcement states that it plans to spend 10-15 minutes laying out the parameters that guide current management of target shooting. The remainder of the meeting will be open to hear from the public about what the agency should consider in future decisions regarding target shooting.

BLM has been discussing the subject of target shooting with a citizen advisory group called the Northwest Colorado Resource Advisory Council (RAC) that meets quarterly in northwestern Colorado. BLM says that questions and interest from members of the RAC prompted it to hold a follow-up session to gather ideas and information from a broader group of stakeholders interested in target shooting activities.

There is every reason to be concerned that the future of target shooting is in the crosshairs of anti-gun "stakeholders." You can be assured that they will be in attendance at the September 10th meeting and will do all they can to influence what the BLM writes in its updated management plan. We need to ensure that target shooting continues to be accommodated as the historic and legitimate recreational use that it is. Please take the time to attend the September 10th meeting, sign up for notices as the BLM moves forward with revising the Grand Junction Field Office’s management plan and stay engaged in the planning process. Your voice and participation count. For further information about the meeting or the planning process you may contact:
