r/CTguns

I want to go to one and like how blue trail is but its a 40 minute drive for me. any suggestions?

Hello everyone, just wanted to pick some bright minds on this topic before I dive in head first. This will be my first time for something like this so I tend to fish out what the process is like to prep for 0 issues. While I know all FFL’s are different and some are more skidish, I have a question. When picking up an online purchase that consists of a complete AR lower that’s serialized that has been sent to my choice of FFL, which FFL is gonna not give me a hard time? I’m planning to use a compmag.

Just don’t wanna run into an FFL who sees it come in & just *nopes* it and sends it back.

Please, share experiences on purchasing a complete lower online & having it shipped to an FFL who sees

Looking for the Glock 19x MOS coyote if anyone knows anywhere in CT selling one

A few days ago I posted about looking for 10/22 mags. Mostly suggested online specifically gunmagwarehouse. So I place the order. Then they replied they want 2 pieces of info to prove this and that. Told them to just cancel the order I will go into a gun shop which I did and bought the mags and asked for zero info. I am not buying a gun for Christ sakes.

Optics planet just canceled my order for an 11.5 inch complete upper receiver.

So in 2017 I applied for a permit. I graduated high school in 2016 so I was about 19-20 when I applied. I went through the whole process until I had to sit for an in person interview. Long story short I was denied for “suitability” due to a marijuana ticket the year prior. Since then I’ve turned my life around. I have been marijuana free for 5 years and I have obtained my security license and worked the same security job for 2 and a half years now. I want to eventually obtain a blue card but I’m deterred from spending all this money to get denied again. Any tips for me? Do you think I should be fine? I’m in Norwalk btw.

Short version was brought to my attention that the sites are backwards. I was planning to fix this then it dawned on me, if I am about to take the steps to put it on the other way why I don’t at this point upgrade the sites.

So this is a multi part question:

1. What do you recommend for sites on this gun? I seen clips for fiber optics looks like nothing more than bright colored neon plastic.

2. If I don’t go online what store in CT would have this in stock and also would they be willing to install it for me?

3. If online is preferred or recommended, who?

Good morning!

I recently ordered a suppressor and am working on getting it transferred to myself. For the fingerprinting, is it possible to be printed digitally at a police department or is it best to just use a card or find a kiosk somewhere. I’m located in Hartford county and have a PD that can finger print me if it is easier.

I am going to Montana Glacier NP in July to hike with friends but very concerned about grizzly bear encounters. There was a recent grizzly mauling a few weeks ago there and apparently bear spray was deployed and just did not work.

I have been considering pursuing a permit anyway and figure this might be decent timing but I am unsure if an actual permit is feasible in this timeline. From what I understand there is an eligibility you can acquire just to own. And Montana itself allows carry for legally applicable US Citizens in Glacier.

I am hoping I can get an eligibility to purchase and not carry in CT and legally bring it to Montana while getting some legal firing range practice prior to going. Is the process and timeline any different just for purchase (not carry) eligibility?

Rayglock update part 3

I bought a bottle of red crimson duracoat and some good clear coat, scotchbrite and brakleen spray. The items for prep are basically done.

Working my ass off all over CT for years, I know a ton of contractor guys, and I got a connection for someone to let me use their sandblaster.

For prepping and painting my glock red crimson, I'm ready. Now im working on how ill do detailing and what I can realistically do in regards to making custom parts.

New question for the group, I know ghost guns are very weird legally, but how would it work if I want to machine a slightly longer barrel to have that non functional cone at the end of a raygun. It would be cosmetic and not a silencer, muzzle, suppressor or otherwise effect the sound or disperse of gasses. Does this count as something prohibited?

Me and my boyfriend recently joined this range, it’s been decent but seems to focus a lot on “boomer” shooting. We were there yesterday and every time we do something like drills or moving and shooting we get harassed by boomer range officers 😭 has anyone else had this experience?

Does anyone know if Troop G in Bridgeport is still doing in person permit renewals?

Years ago I’ve done it there but I believe they closed during “covid”. I’m trying to find out if they reopened.

Thanks in advance.

Moved here from VA not long ago, Blue Trail was the first range I went to and didn’t really enjoy having to switch lanes for pistol and rifle, and no holster work. Been to a few other ranges and still the same thing. Any recommendations?

Since ordering/ finding complete Aero uppers is virtually impossible, I need some recommendations in the same price/ quality tier. I’m specifically looking for ones with lightweight, slim hand guards like Aero’s Atlas R-One. It’s for a 16” build that would be suppressed.
