OFFICIAL Pistol Permit Tracker App is Back Online

Upvotes

Finally had a beat to bring the project up to speed a bit, its back, Reddit integration has been deprecated so no more flare for contribution it was just too much to maintain so moving forward the data is entirely added by the community we shall see how accurate we can get here. So no more keycodes, just go to the site and submit, as always let me know if there are any issues encountered.

Project is back on: map.ctguns.org

As a sidenote, I am still looking for volunteers for the community shooting league project beta test, you might have seen a post recently with details, you can either DM me or comment below if interested or have any questions, hoping to test it soon so we can all hop on and casually compete as a community! rangeleagues.com

Enjoy this beautiful Friday and have a good Labor day weekend!

Looking for a handful of volunteers to test RangeLeagues, a project I've been working on for the last few months! Details inside.

Upvotes

Hey folks! Some of you have used the zeroing target generator I posted here before. I've spent the last couple months turning it into something bigger: a casual competition platform, and I'd love a few of you to help me test it.

Quick rundown of what's new:

- Rebrand: ShooterOS → RangeLeagues, full redesign.

- Target generator improvements: added a guided setup so getting your rifle (or pistol) shooting straight is less intimidating for first-timers, plus a new experimental Scope Leveling target.

- Shot Analyzer: Improved the overall marking engine and page, it should work a lot better now and it actually allows you to save your analyzed targets (some cool analysis tools are planned for later on, like performance tracking, etc)

- New thing — Leagues: casual competition, using standardized "smart" targets and app-based scoring. Fully asymmetric, compete on your own time, at your own range, with your own gear. Purely casual and peer reviewed submissions, participants review each others targets before certifying and receiving a score. It's meant to get anyone interested in competitive shooting to get an easier, casual and fun way to compete in shooting sports.

There are two types of leagues, community leagues and private leagues. Private leagues are still a work in progress and will be available at a later date, the short and sweet is that you will be able to host one for you and 4 of your range buddies. Community leagues are free to join and participate in, they are meant to be open and accessible to anyone who wishes to join.

What I'm asking: if you've got a printer, go to the range frequently, and don't mind poking at a beta release, I'd like to spin up an r/CTGuns league and run an event so you all can compete against each other to test if the app is ready for a general rollout for all of us here at r/CTGuns.

Tools are still free and available same as before — this is just layering a league/competition mode on top.

Drop a comment or DM if interested and I will send you a beta invite, happy to answer questions here too. Beta testers will receive some rewards on their accounts for participating in the testing. More details and information soon, wanted to see if there is anyone interested in taking this for a spin first.

For the rest of the community, I would love to hear if you would be interested in joining our own remote casual league, I think it could be a fun way to see how everyone stacks up.

Recommend AR-10 Style Rifle for 50-200 yards shooting

Upvotes

Hi all,

Been going to the range a lot lately with my brother in law and wanted to get some recommendations for another rifle to pair with my Ruger American Standard. It's fun as hell to shoot but I'm looking for another rifle either semi-auto or bolt action (does not need to be chambered for .308 win) so we can alternate between the two. Anyone have any suggestions? I wanted to add a more modernize rifle to the amory with a pictanniny and m-lock barrel guard because I love those this (or something that I can upgrade to change out to an m-lok rail).

Being lazy and didnt dig through our (current) laws, can anyone forsee an issue with a fixed mag Galil? Legally or functionality wise. Banned by name or style/not being able to be top loaded?

Is there anyway to get a PSA Build like this in CT?

Interested in buying a budget .300 rifle but cannot find them anywhere for this cheap or I’m looking the wrong places.

Gun buying

I know there is a limit to how many handguns you can get in a month in CT, but is there a limit on how many firearms you can get in a day(rifles,shotguns,ETC)?

Where are you guys getting your subsonic 300blk from?

Upvotes

Grab 250 from TGS and they're a little longer so they causes malfunctions with the 10/30 pmags. So which brand and shop do you get yours that work fine in the pmags. Or is there any shops selling dedicated 300blk mags as I understand that would fix the issue.

Why buy parts when you can print them

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Recently picked up a 3D print, I was amazed at how many LEGAL gun part files there are out there.

Printed a magwell for my 19 and 43X and was very surprised at how good they actually came out. I also printed a couple +0 base plates for my 19 mags and a couple for my buddies MAC mags.

Obviously you can still tell they are 3D printed, but overall fit and finish surpassed my expectations substantially. Not sure how they will actually hold up, but they seem to be pretty dam durable. Either way the magwell cost me less than $1 in material vs $100 buying one, however I’m sure the $100 one would actually function quite a bit better than these. The 3D printed ones lack the “funneling” the real ones have.

Now if only we were allowed to print receivers and suppressors, that would be incredible. Maybe one day things will change…

.300 BLK build question

Upvotes

I have a lower to build out. Legally registered - not getting into specifics.

I was thinking of exploring .300 BLK. I would start with supersonic ammo and eventually move to subsonic with a suppressor. What barrel lengths would anyone recommend? I am looking for something shorter than 12.5” to keep it compact and account for the eventual suppressor. I am good with registering as an SBR to give me as many options as possible for barrel length.

I guess I am looking for opinions on what is a manageable size for starting out with supersonic ammo, and will allow for future changes.

Oh - and I know the ammo ain’t cheap, so no need to bring that up! 😆 Thanks in advance for your responses!

SBR Ordering/How to Buy

Upvotes

Hey guys, I did a little preliminary search on this Reddit but couldn't find any more recent answers. If I wanted to own an SBR in CT with a fixed mag, can I order an SBR directly from a website and ship it to my FFL of choice, or does my FFL have to order it for me? Some Labor Day sales I want to take advantage of to prepare for next year (hopefully).

Thanks.

Leaving the army soon, questions about registration

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm getting out of the Army soon and hopefully moving back home (CT). I have a bunch of weapons I bought that I know I need to register with the DPS-414-C form, but I had a few questions:

  1. Do I fill out one of these for each "assault weapon" / receiver I possess? Or is there somehow a way to list multiple items on one?

  2. Does it matter that I have a bunch? Will they get rejected if I submit like 20 of these forms even for weapons I legally bought when I lived in CT, so that I can modify them later?

  3. The DPS-414-C says I need to "Submit proof that you purchased this weapon on or prior to April 4, 2013 in the form of a valid sales receipt and/or a DPS-3, or sworn affidavit that the specified assault weapon was purchased in compliance with state and federal laws." - however, I obviously purchased some of these after that date while I've been in the military. Do I just need the sworn affidavit then, and if so, do I need one for every DPS-414-C, or can I just do one?

Thanks for all your help!

Hartford Gun Club

Upvotes

Been thinking about joining the club, mostly for the ability to holster fire and be able to shoot rifles while standing, for those who are members how are the pits on the weekends? And how many individuals are allowed at a pit at once? For rifles is standing okay? For the metal targets shooting normal ammo non pen, are they resettable right away or does the range need to go cold in order to reset them? My guess 660$ and your all set? No need to pay any additional range fees? For those who are members and took classes do you need to pay the range fees or is that wavyed since you're a member!

I’m glad the senator is open to making the laws easier to understand (I’m sure to him that just means making the bans more complete).
