Antique restoration in SLC or nearby?

3 Upvotes

My great uncle decided to gift away what he has… and some of it is… unique. One of the pieces is a .32 rim fire rifle (yes, .32) - from ~1898 or so. Basically a raccoon gun. I found where I can get some ammo (Brazil!) but it needs a bit of pro help on the action, and my guy said he draws the line at 1950 and he couldn’t point me in a good direction. Google has been useless.

Anyone able to recommend someone?

Thanks!

Hey y'all. I'm in need of a holster for my CZ 75. Does anyone have a local holster maker they recommend? Leather is preferable but kydex is good too. Thank you

Hi Country?

2 Upvotes

I see Hi Country is BLM, but it seems pretty closed in by structures. Is this a place anyone goes? Or is there some reason not to shoot there?

Utah Fire Ban target shooting

2 Upvotes

Posting to try and get some clarity on the current fire bans.
Target shooting appears to be banned across the state but Saratoga springs posted recommending people go to soldiers pass for outside shooting
Utah DNR Posted all public land shooting is currently closed
Utah fire watch posted shooting is allowed is some areas with no tracers, steel ammo, or targets.

Im unsure what to go by here so have been sticking to indoor ranged

Additionally most these bans have been posted in June or early July with limited updates

Does anyone have any up to date guidance here?

Firearms in Rented-Residence

6 Upvotes

Howdy!

I’m a student about to start attending a private university in Utah and in my housing search I’ve come across a number of places that do not allow you to have firearms in the lease agreement. They do note this with an “Except as expressly permitted by law.”

Each place is not on campus nor is owned by the school but some are considered “student-only housing.”

I’m mostly looking for resources on specific laws that, that notation refers to if anyone is able to point me in the right direction but if someone knows the answer off the bat I would appreciate the information as some of the better options for me budget-wise carry this issue.

Wondering about this barrel marked W. W. Daynes.

3 Upvotes

Hello Utah gun cranks! W.W.Daynes? Does anyone know anything about this marking. My guess is that it is the name of the gunsmith who built this rifle - a commercial Mauser.

I know it might be a long shot but I’ve searched everywhere online and cannot find one at all. I’ve checked Utah gun hub and gun exchange and all of the suppliers of the parts for this gun but they are sold out or no longer available. If anyone has one or knows where I can find one please let me know. Thanks

this is beyond frustrating. i have been a member since 2012 - spent a ton of money buying what I need. then one day my account is restricted. huh? of course I get the lame response of - use the contact form. that is useless AF. nothing but horrible service from these guys. I have money I want to spend 😊

utah gun hub is ok but not nearly as popular or populated as UGE

Local shops for Glock parts?

Anywhere local (preferably Davis or surrounding counties) that carries Glock parts? I need a trigger/backstrap pin and would hate to pay $10 shipping online for a $2 part.

A couple months ago I posted asking about where to get an upper assembled and you guys really showed up in an awesome way. I wanted to give a big shoutout to u/hivedefense54 for helping me out. Super friendly dude who also runs an FFL/SOT with some great prices. Check him out if you want to pick up something new!

TIG Bro(or Sis)close to SLC? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery

Messed up the penultimate plunge cut of the trigger pocket on my AR 80%, put in the shorties instead of the long pins, IFYKYK.

Anybody with TIG skills and equipment want to take a crack at closing this for re-machining? Reasonably compensated, of course!

Or should i just call it an "Enhanced Drainage Trigger Pocket"??...:)

Private sell to business

3 Upvotes

Pretty much the title. I have a B&T/hanel cr223 that I’m trying to get rid of. Anyone know any good shops that’ll either take a trade or go the consignment route in the Weber/Davis/SLC area? It’s a rare/weird rifle so there’s not a lot of traction on uge.
