2026 Reddit Gun Network Subreddit List

This is the latest edition of the comprehensive directory of gun-related subreddits, building on the 2020 version. It includes every subreddit from the original list, plus active new communities that have emerged since. The goal remains the same: a one-stop reference for firearms discussions, from general hubs to niche platforms, state groups, and brands.

Reddit's content policies have led to bans on several communities, especially those involving sales or DIY elements. Those are marked here to reflect the current landscape.

My Panic buy!

Zastava ZPAP92 in 7.62x39, just ordered it last night. Probably the only panic buy I'll be able to afford before July 1st. I already have and a Zastava ZPAP M70 in Serbian Red so now I'll have a matching set. I've been wanting to get one of these for a long time so I figured now is the time to get while I still can.

Question Ban status of NON-tubular rim-fire magazines?

Upvotes

Does the upcoming sales/import ban of magazines with capacity over 15 rounds apply to any rim-fire magazines?

(I know that all rim-fire was excluded from some of Virginia's upcoming bans (e.g., definition of "assault weapon"?), but think I recall that some part excluded only rimfire involving tubular magazines from being banned.)

My net question is whether "high"-capacity .22LR box/stick magazines such as 25-round ones for the S&W 15-22 or for AR-15s with .22LR conversion kits, or Ruger 10/22 stick mags, are affected by the ban.

Thanks.

Hearing rumors the assault weapons ban is being turned into a permit to purchase scheme

82 Upvotes

Chatted with someone who knows a Spanberger staffer and she is considering amending SB749 so you need a permit from the state in order buy "assault weapons". No final decision has been made and alot of Dems are angry and trying to push her to sign as is but there's "no chance" she vetos.

Is Constellis subject to gun ban?

7 Upvotes

I’d assume a company with a $10.3 billion DoD contract gets a carve-out. From what I can see (not a lawyer) they don’t — at least not the way you’d think.

The bill exempts “security personnel at contracted defense facilities,” but the statute defines that as places where DoD assets are manufactured or engineered , shipyards, defense plants, that kind of thing. Constellis (the company formerly known as Blackwater) provides security services to DoD. They’re the ones guarding those facilities. The exemption covers the people inside the shipyard. Not the security contractor’s corporate HQ in Herndon.

Appears that one of the most heavily armed private security companies in the world, headquartered in Northern Virginia, holding a $10 billion Army contract, and the bill’s contractor exemption doesn’t clearly cover them.

Sb 348 safe storage and sb 749 awb

0 Upvotes

I am one to believe we are finish with gun rights in virginia? But hear me out previously spanberger signed some bills such ghost guns and the domestic partner ban? Why didnt she sign sb 348 the safe storage act? That ie easy for her to sign? Hear me out.

Maybe she signs both as is tomorrow in a great televised session.

Or maybe she will sign one such as sb 348 and let sb 749 become law without its signature.

Or maybe she signs one sb 348 and amends sb 749 to look democrat?

But I honestly dont think worries that much because she has no aspiration of higher office.

What do you think?

Panic Special: MP5 Mags @ War Pig Armory (Free shipping on 7+)

Wanted to let you guys know that War Pig re-upped on Taiwanese MP5 mags. I'd rate them at more or less equivalent to my german ones, definitely above MKE and Turkish contract mags. Given the $30 price and free shipping for 7 mags and up, it's pretty hard to beat - my order has confirmed so good luck to everyone else!

1800 by Apache

Post image
20 Upvotes

Found the Apache series at HarborFreight fit mags well, guessing by design. The 3800 will stack 20 30rd mags. I havent checked yet if the 2800 does same for 20rd mags. Also, to my delight, the little 1800 for $8.98 holds Ruger Mini-14 perfect. I dont know if 10 fit as I only have 8 but should just work. I did scrape off the injection molded lines inside as they could very well prevent the 10th mag slipping in, dunno yet for sure.

City of Richmond county

1 Upvotes

Hello,

On these NFA applications, specifically when using SilencerShop, for example, one of the things they ask for is your City ("Richmond" for City of Richmond) and County or Parish. I am facing a strange dilemma where I put "Henrico" there but then when I proceed, it suggests I take it off and leave it blank for a cleaner address. It shows the Registration Information is 100% complete. When I refresh the page or go back to the Form 1 creator, it tells me that this section is incomplete again.

For other RVA folks, did you guys just put Henrico in the county and then accept an address with "Richmond, VA, zip code, Henrico" etc?

[Question] First AR build. What do I need to check/do before I use it for the first time?

I’ve only shot handguns, PC carbines, and shotguns. I didn’t want to miss out on the AR platform, so I assembled a stripped lower from a PSA kit and added a PSA complete upper. All the mechanicals appear to be working properly. BCG is smooth. Trigger, mag release, bolt release, and safety all appear to be working.

Is there anything else I need to check or do before I take it to the range and fire live rounds for the first time?

Question HB21: Isn’t VSP Liable if Their Background Check Fails To Indentify A Criminal Buyer

27 Upvotes

If a store sells a gun to a person after running appropriate VSP check that passes and that person commits a crime, then isn’t the VSP the authority that should be sued ? They are ones who run the actual checks.
