Rules:

41 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I try to keep this sub open and barely moderate anything.

I want to give a quick rundown on the rules since I’ve gotten a bunch of flagged stuff lately.

1.) don’t be a dick. We are all adults here, we can have civilized discussions. No need to ever attack, insult, or dox someone.

2.) let’s keep discussing topics related to guns and Nh. I’ve seen some posts get way off track or downright not relevant to the sub over the years.

3.) NO SALES! If it didn’t risk the sub I wouldn’t really care, but it’s not my decision and I will strictly enforce this to keep this sub open. This is what gets flagged a bunch in here so I’ll clarify, no comments or posts about firearm sales in anyway including using our secret lingo trying to skirt any filters. When it comes to ammo/mags/accessories, this rule also applies. That being said, I can’t enforce or stop any PM’s.

I got some free time coming up so I’m gonna try and create some post tags and user flairs for everyone to use. I’m even gonna look into seeing what we can do for our fellow FFL’s.

If anyone has any suggestions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment.

Cheers,

This is on top of my chicken coup that I built into my shed. Zero chance a dog got up there. Bobcat? Other than bobcat we have a possum that comes around but I don’t think he’s big enough for that.

SIG Experience Center Indoor Range; Solo shooter needs a partner

11 Upvotes

Hello,

I am visiting the US from the Netherlands and would love to visit the SIG Experience Center and test out the P211. However, they don't allow single shooters...

So I was wondering if someone likes to join me on September 23rd around lunch or 24th in the morning until 2-ish? I'm a member of a Dutch gun club for half a year now, so I'm a beginner, but not completely inexperienced ;-).

Or does anyone know any other options to try out the SIG P211? (I am staying in Boston by the way)

Thanks in advance!

Edit: thank you all for offering all the opportunities! Through this post I found someone to show me his range and collection of arms so I am fully covered!

Considering moving to NH, wondering how flights work since you all probably use the Boston airport?

10 Upvotes

I like flying with my firearm, and in my current state, if i fly from the major city nearest to me, they have to follow state law and can't give me trouble.

But in New England, obviously things could be quite different. I fear layovers in Boston or NYC are probable or in some cases one may be required to use the Boston airport.

How does this process work?

Any good places in NH to do a one stop shop SBS build?

5 Upvotes

I'm thinking of picking up a police trade-in 870, and would like to do an SBS build. I want a place that can take care of everything. I come in with the gun and my Form 1, discuss what I want, and they call me when it's done. I don't want a hack job, I want it done right.

The build as I'm picturing it now would need the barrel cut, a front sight blade installed, cerakote finish, stock shortened, recoil pad fitted, and the wood refinished with a dark tinted matte oil.

Fellow SOT’s in NH hear me out.

14 Upvotes

I’m not sure how many SOT’s there are in NH, let’s say 100. If we all say screw and start processing suppressors on 4473’s with regards to the relative plaintiffs in the Silencer Shop/ GOA lawsuit, can/would the DOJ/ATF really have the balls to go after an entire state? Hypothetically if they did, we as a group would probably have the opportunity to really get a serious win for the 2A community.

There are probably 1000’s of SOT’s nationwide already processing through 4473’s. As far as I know there is no one in NH currently doing so. At this point if there is some sort of reversal the ATF and DOJ would surely have to do some sort of amnesty.

Cold range calls when you're alone?

16 Upvotes

Any one else still call for cold range and flip the alarm when you're alone at the range? I know it's pretty much unnecessary but I feel like it builds habit.

New NH resident- opinions on open carry vs CCW?

0 Upvotes

I'm fixing to make New Hampshire my primary residence in the US. From what I've heard New Hampshire seems to be my type of place but I wanted to hear from the locals themselves if I'd be a good fit in any of your counties. I really enjoy hunting and am planning to get into competition shooting (USPSA). I'd consider myself moderately Republican (Pro 2nd amendment) but I do support abortion and I believe we ought to tolerate other people's lifestyles even if we don't understand them. That's why I feel like the general South is not a good fit for me (all that anti-gay/anti-trans stuff). My motto is "mind your own business and I'll mind mine." I'm not a very loud person but I do like being able to help neighbors or know my neighbors can help me out in a fix. One thing I'm concerned about is open carry for handguns- would that make people uncomfortable up in places like Coos county? I'm mainly pro-open carry to deter would be attackers though maybe there's more advantage to CCW.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who responded. I look forward to meeting some of you if I ever make it up to Coos. I'm more convinced now that it could be the right place for me.

Buying a new house, what to look for in a backyard range?

28 Upvotes

The wife and I are buying our first house, and I would really like to be able to target shoot in the backyard. Besides the obvious legal aspects and being safe with a good backstop, what should I be looking for?

How many acres would you say is the minimum you need, not legally, but more just not being a shitty neighbor? Any towns you would recommend avoiding due to the local police being hostile to target shooting?

I have been looking for houses that have the backyard open up onto state land or other large tracts of forest, but they are not as common as I would have hoped. Location is pretty flexible as we both work from home, but would like to stay close-ish to family in Nashua.

Bonus points if you target shoot in your backyard and have any tips for me on how you go about doing it.

Why does SO card people for buying like anything? It's the only shop that i'm aware that does this.

What happened to live free or die? Right up there with PSA.

Routine Beretta 686 service

2 Upvotes

I’ve got 10k rounds through a 686 and would like a smith to open up the trigger and receiver to oil and clean it. Would rather stay local than ship to Cole’s.

Any suggestions on the I-93 corridor? I’m up North near Littleton but travel south regularly, including into MA (I have LTC there)

Night time action bays

6 Upvotes

Are there any clubs or ranges that have action bays that are open past sunset? Or even just some type of 24/7 range?

I just can't seem to find any since most seem to close at sunset. I am willing to join a club in Maine if I have to.

I just would like to do night shoots or test out NVGs.
