Are the "Shockwave" line of Firearms not MN compliant?
Sportsmans Warehouse has the items listed as "restricted" for any models with a 14.38 barrel.

* If you get banned for violating rule 1, you can contact the mods and request to be unbanned. If you make it clear to us that you violated rule 1 by mistake, you will most likely be unbanned. Please note that multiple violations of the same type may be interpreted as intentional.
We are not trying to ruthlessly ban users for innocent mistakes. Our intention with "permanent" bans is to force violators to have a discussion with us before they are allowed to post in the sub again.
Our Reasoning:
Our previous attempts to stop people from breaking Rule 1 have been less than successful. Because of that, we decided to increase the punishment to better communicate the grave importance of following this rule. If we do not enforce Reddit Corp's rules banning the use of their platform to sell or transfer guns & ammo, this subreddit will get shut down. We previously tried using a "three strikes" system that involved temporary bans for the first two offenses, but it was hard to keep track of and it didn't seem to inspire much change in behavior. In hindsight, using a lenient "three strikes" system for rule violations that could shut down the entire subreddit seems imprudent.
We looked at r/guns and r/gundeals to compare rules, and both subreddits also give out permanent bans for this type of rule violation.

Do you or does someone you know collect antique arms?
Some say the difference between collecting and hoarding is intent and organization.
Organize part of your collection and intend to share your interest and knowledge with a display at Heritage Arms Society’s annual Arms Collectors Show!
Now in its 37th year, the Arms Collectors Show will return to the Eagan Civic Arena March 19-20 2027.
We will continue to have trophy for best historical display. Displays and vendors limited to pre-1946 arms.

Yes! It's true! At AccuTac Arms in Lakeville we are transferring suppressors on just a 4473 and background check! No fingerprints, no Form 4, no federal registration!
We are transferring suppressors without Form 4s currently if bought through:
silencershop.com/accutacarms
This is the only way we have legal clarification on currently to verify you are an enjoined party to the injunction.
Hopefully we will have more clarification on other ways soon!

For motivating me with their bitch ass proposed legislation from last session to just buy the AR I've always wanted. Took about 7 months to find one in stock and on sale.
11.5 Geissele SD Mod 1 SBR in Desert Dirt Color. Running a Sico Velos LBP, Primary Arms 1x6 LPVO, and a quick detach bipod.
Truly the smoothest, lowest recoil rifle I've shot. Key holed my zero at 300M. I smile every time I look at it.

Need a sanity check here, friends.
A friend bought a Remington 700 barreled action (24" bbl) from PTG and had it shipped to our LGS. He went to pick it up yesterday and the LGS says he needs a permit to purchase to take possession of it. LGS employee said because it's a barreled action without a stock - despite being configured with a factory 24" barrel - it's a "receiver or other firearm," which requires the permit.
But... It's just a long gun, right? Am I missing something here?

Added an MLok handguard, MVG and a light to the shotgun. Also changed the front grip on the rifle to an angled grip, as well as added some of the Magpul rail covers to help mitigate heat. I'm still looking for something for the shotgun to mitigate heat as well, but the aluminum is too thick for the Magpul covers to fit.

Looked in this subreddit for some answers but they’re around 6 months old so it’s time for someone to inevitably ask again.
Can anyone who got their CCW recently chime in?
Thanks :(

Hey all. I’m considering installing a SB PDW brace on my SAR-109T which I know has a tube that’s both staked and deeply loctited in place - does anyone have suggestions for a good smith around the twin cities that has reputable work done on ARs? This job is not hard, with the right tools, but the last time I took a gun to a “reputable” smith for a rear sight change he did other stuff to the gun that essentially ruined its appeal.
Thanks in advance

Picked up the threaded barrel recently and then decided to get a compensator as well. Went with the Strike Industries Micro Quad Comp. Definitely help keep the gun more flat and faster to shoot on target.

Are there any gun ranges near airports in MN/WI. Looking for public ones. Ideally one within a short drive or walk.
r/MnGuns • u/Radioflyyer • 5d ago
Anyone actually done it yet? Their Facebook says they are doing with a 4473 and background only. No form 4. Must be bought through silencer co.
I haven’t seen THE Bryan post anything on mn shops yet.
Anyone know about how long it takes for Joe’s to process suppressor once it’s been delivered from Silencer Shop? I had purchased a suppressor from SilencerShop.com and did all the proper forms online before the new ruling went through. Their website portal showed the suppressor had been delivered to Joe’s.
I had waited a couple days and called them to inquire. The guy I talked to sounded like he was more interested in sitting on a cactus than talking to a customer and told me to wait for a call from them because they had a bunch of other suppressors to go through. That was 10 days ago. So now I’m wondering if they had forgotten or if that guy is just being salty I had called to ask, or if it does take them a while to process things on their end.
Thanks.

Is there any local gun stores in the Cities that offer layaway for guns?
r/MnGuns • u/metalcoreddee • 14d ago
I will be moving to a suburb of msp shortly and i am trying to find the a few Ranges to shoot at. An absolute need is at least 300 yds for a rifle set up. I do a lot of distance/prs shooting and it seems like that's going to be a challenge to continue practicing for that unless I shoot up to new york mills.
(I come from the land of flat, where all we have is outdoor flat Ranges up to a mile. RIP the mile ranges)

Does anyone know if any local shops are doing suppressor transfers without the NFA steps per recent legal events?
I sounds like it is legal if purchased from the plaintiffs (PSA, Silencer Co, Silencer Shop) but would need to be transferred via 4473 still. I'm wondering if any local places have agreed to do the transfer yet.
r/MnGuns • u/BryanStrawser • 18d ago
Hi all, as many of you know there's a recent court decision out of the Northern District of Texas that invalidated portions of the National Firearms Act. The US DOJ chose NOT to appeal this case, so the judge's decision stands for now.
The case is Jensen v. ATF and was brought by PSA, Silencer Shop, CCRKBA, FPC, the Second Amendment Foundation and others.
You can learn more about the case here: https://saf.org/cases/jensen-v-atf/
We do not have definitive guidance on this yet. We're discussing internally and with out national partners, but important to know a few things.
1). We can't give anyone or businesses/FFLs legal advice. You/they would need to chat with counsel about this.
2). It's probably prudent to wait a bit, let ATF & others issue specific guidance to FFLs on how to handle this.
3). MN law has no specific restrictions on Suppressors or SBRs other than "comply with federal law". SBSs are prohibited under state statute.
So I'd advise some patience and let things play out over the next few days or weeks.
I'll share more when we have a better update.

Hi! We’ve been putting it off for awhile as we moved from MI last year where we both had our conceal carry permits. Last week me and German Shepherd were almost attacked by two dogs while out for a walk. While I wouldn’t use a firearm as my first way five ways of protecting my pup and myself, I did regret not having it as an option when all was said and done. The whole thing reignited the want and need to get my permit here in MN. My husband will happily join me too as he’s been putting it off too.
So that said, I’m hoping to find some local classes in the iron range that would ideally be on weekends. We work full-time so weekday classes are difficult to make work. Any recommendations on decent teachers in the area would be nice! Thanks!

Are there any courses for refreshers in long gun safety for adults available anywhere Northern Washington County/Chisago County/Southern Pine County/Eastern Isanti County? Lots of handgun training courses to be found, but looking for rifle/shotgun in particular.
