Im happy with that since its a semi. Bag rested on bench. Hornady American gunner 140 gr 6.5 c. Aero upper lower and barrel nut midwest quick detach bipod mount This is friggin awesome jp enterprise Jp super match barrel teflon jp brake jp bolt and titanium firing pin jp lmos bcg jp silent capture buffer/spring jp adj gas block/gas tube geissele super match trigger burris xtr 11 glass badger ord 0 moa unimount the other stuff you can see its magpul stuff im happy my purpose for this was to build a semi that can be as close in accuracy to a bolt gun with alittle trigger time Im sure it will. Hell just the innards cost just as much as a higher end ar The adj gas block is cool to adjust And when i leave here my suppresor will like it alot Ps f phil

Well it finally came in a few weeks ago but I haven’t had time to take pictures or get it to the range yet. But is sure is pretty...... I was looking at revolvers for a long time and couldn’t figure out what I wanted. Thanks to the help on this forum I came up with a list of the things I wanted, tapered underlug(just for looks), 6-shot, 4” barrel, smooth trigger and that landed me on the Smith and Wesson 686 SSR

the simple solution to this would be to eliminate the POC system so that the nics check goes directly to nics, not through the state pd. they have no need to be involved in the process in the first place.

You can easily survive running generators 10-12 hours a day. Freezers and frigs only need 4-6 hours, twice a day to survive. Heat depends on weather, this time about 12 hours a day. Always have 5 days on hand minimum. You need a backup plan for the genny also in case of failure. Spend the money for a good genny, you did for that AR and I bet the genny gets more use on average. I have done four or five houses on 3 gennys during Sandy. Takes a bit of work and thought, but can be done!.

I wish my wife got into it so I can more easily justify a bigger safe

I'm guessing it was Jon just looking to see if he could pick up a used gun for cheap. [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

This past summer I called PSEG to report tree branches resting on our power line. My block the poles and lines are on a easement between everyone’s back yard. Within an hour a guy came out. I pointed out my back yard, as well as the entire block. No bucket truck access ,so it’s been neglected for years... 2 weeks later a tree crew came and cleared. Just my lot. Lol, 3 lots to the left, and 4 to the right untouched. Because it’s too hard? Thats when I knew our grid is only going to get worse. We had investigating and committees after sandy, and now are proposing more investigation and committees after these storms. It’s actually disturbing how impotent our state government is.

Ok, I'll be the first.....

Can we please stop squabbling? @Indianajonze... You may not agree with Rosey's point, but lawsuits DO, in fact, cost money and these 2A orgs - (now that we're in the Murphy era) - are no doubt considering several additional lawsuits. That said, they're going to have to choose the issues that provide the most "bang for the buck" to spend money wisely (as members should want them to). Looking at the WALL of anti-2A legislation/issues ahead of us, not to mention all the problems we normally deal with, how does this issue compare to: gun seizures without due process? magazine limits? outlawing certain types of guns? permits that take 6 mos or more? Would you rank this latest NICS delay at the top or the bottom of that list? Rosey merely offered an opinion. Why give such a heated response? As a group, we really need to stop "shooting the messenger". We whine that the 2A groups won't post on here... but then when they do post, we go into insult & attack mode. I know these issues are frustrating... I get that, I really do!... but the personal attacks are just so damn counterproductive.

In the 80’s along with the deregulation of many industries, airlines, banking, trucking and more, So were the utility companies. No longer were they to answer to The Board of Public Utilities for their rates and actions. Most of those industries that were deregulated have turned into giant corporate monopolizing money thieving pigs. But hey, I’m not bitter.

Why even open your mouth?

I've been called several times by police mostly for references on someone. I use a trick a cop taught me that they even use on each other. Get his name and extension number and tell him you're going to call him back momentarily in order to verify. You then call back the department he claims to be from and ask for him. If he is real they will connect you. If he's not they'll tell you. I never had a problem at all doing this. And not one ever argued or complained. This way you know the call is from a police officer and not some other type of nut. If this indeed did happen, this would have been the most logical first step. If you have his name it isn't too late to call and find out if he was from that PD at all.

Yup. Thats why ill ask again. What town ??? This is intel we need to know so things can change for the next person.

Cmon... what pattern could you be looking for? And “ I don’t think “... no bueno. At least talk to local first.

Just got the slide back on the pocket blaster. Stipple job is next. I usually do it myself but 5b gunwerks does some really nice basket weave stipple that is different. MM does sweet work as well but I don’t think they offer the pattern I’m looking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw that too lol. I Bought some way back when at like .35 a rd, when wolf was like .30.. Got 2 cases of this stuff for quite a bit less than wolf.. no complaints here.

When is an AR-10 not an AR-10...? When it's an LR308?!?!? Seriously tho, what's the difference?

The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Keep on mind there are various translations as Tex pointed out. All are good IMO though. Book of the 5 Rings by Miyamoto Musashi (available as a free download) On War by Carl Clausewitz Infantry Attacks by Erwin Rommel (make sure you read the unabridged version)

What Zeke said. And stay away from any British restaurants for a good bit afterwards

Most of Sun Tso’s translations of the ‘Art of War’ are pretty good. When I get home, I’ll get you the info on the one I have.

Not in the used market

@Lakota and @fatty then your wives will add to Nics backups.... not good

Ya well mine is getting into rifles now, also... I need a super secret safe.

Mini shells are mouse farts in any gun.

I think winter is going to drive more of us out on NJ, than Murphy.

lol i've used my allotment of the "wife's patience" for the time being. I have a transfer coming in on Wed (And yes she knows about it lol)... after that I need to "take a breather" ...... until my next batch of P2P's come in anyway .. then im on the clock again.

just gotta learn to be sneakier. what she doesn't know doesn't hurt ya.

I'd love to go myself and get one but then id have to be all:

Why can’t we all just get along...

Pretty much. The shells are too short to feed reliably. Keeps 'em from flipping around. OpSol makes a rem and mossbeg version that fits several guns because they use the same action.

This isn't a new rifle. Just my old one I've owned for a few years now. I still love it.

Funny you mention that. Last year i was all set to get P320 in 45ACP then the sh!t hit the fan for Sig and everyone pulled sales for a while. So I got a Walther PPQ 45 instead. ($100 rebate also helped)

Yes. When we were T&Eing one, that's what we did. It took some time and we found that we weren't happy with it being on a pistol/sbr. The Dual Illuminated Dots are much better for your application and you can find em just as cheap.

I still don't think one needs a fighting dog for protection. Labs can do just fine. This guy especially doesn't like Jehovah Witnesses coming around. Just his bark has scared them off. One time they stayed til the door was opened and he was barking and showing teeth. They left quickly and haven't been back since. Otherwise it's almost hard to make him mad. Though I probably wouldn't want to find out what happens if he does get angry. I would say any dog over 50lbs can do some damage real fast, over 100lbs most people wouldn't stand a chance. First picture he is in attack position lol. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't say we have nothing to worry about, but Trump is an excellent gambler. I said a while ago that he's a master of game theory and he is applying it to all of his negotiations and decisions. Just last night on Gutfeld, his guest Dr. Drew Pinsky said exactly what I had been thinking abut DJT and game theory for some time. http://video.foxnews.com/v/5749201535001/?playlist_id=5536260051001#sp=show-clips

Every shot presentation will be different, so go with shot big enough and heavy enough to penetrate to vitals from all angles. A pheasant crossing, coming at you, or angling away are easy shots, offering exposed vitals (head, body cavity, wings.) A pheasant going dead-away is the toughest to take down and recover. Over a pointing dog shots can be close, and you don't need much. A good dog is key to finding wounded game. #6 is the standard, #5's are better. Use the largest size shot allowed and you'll be fine.

When I first started pheasant hunting I'd wear my electronic muffs. My old Peltors were big & clunky and they hindered me from getting the fastest mount possible while still maintaining superior alignment down the barrel to the bird. Trap & skeet allows you to make that slight head placement decision as you mount, whereas hunting oft times does not. Too quick. Unplanned at some points. So I stopped wearing muffs altogether and found I miss less pheasants. If all goes as planned, I'll fire less than 10 shots of #6 out of my 10 ga. SxS percussion double barrel muzzleloader. 1 3/4 oz of #6 coming out of a cylinder-bore (unchoked barrel) front-stuffer usually does the trick! And we got some YUGE raffle prizes too, like $200 off a cerakote job, so BRING CASH for raffles!

Here is a brief statement from the NRA-ILA on HR 5087: https://www.nraila.org/articles/20180309/antigun-politicians-aim-for-america-s-most-popular-firearms-with-expansive-ban The full text available here as a pdf. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5087/text Since we're punishing innocent law abiding gun owners for someone else's crimes, I think the same should apply to politicians as well. The next time a member of Congress abuses his or her power, all members of Congress should be stripped of their powers and banned from holding public office again.

I'd be using #6 high brass - it's also the most commonly used shot size for pheasant hunting followed by #5

Hi guys, back on after a week without power. Town is a total disaster, 98% went without power, still have over 300 out with full restoration not expected for four more days (14th). No problems as we have genny and been self-sufficient prepared for years. This was the third time for a week or more. "Sandy" was 13 days. This time we had no services of any kind, electric, phone, or cable. Happy to say with over 2 dozen trees down, no damage to house, close, but no cigar. Just some damage to the chicken yard.

Give @Modern Materiel a call. Support local.

Lmao! I’d strike #2 though. They have a real hard on for those for some reason. OP I’ve never heard of this. Firearms registration is not mandatory. Unfortunately for handguns purchased while residing in this state, the P2P is a form of registry...

It's very common during a traffic stop for the officer to ask where you're going or where you've come from. If I have guns in the vehicle I make sure I'm honest, but not overly detailed unless he inquires further. E.g. if I'm on the way to SCFGPA I'll tell him I'm heading for Bridgewater, not a shooting range. I'm still being honest but not triggering any spidey senses.

Carrying in New Jersey? You’re kidding! Right?

Hey, all. Just letting everyone know I'm still following this thread closely and reading each comment. Each comment is coming through to my email, so I'm reading them there. If anyone would like to send me a message for this story, it's [email protected]. Thanks!

@Shawnmoore81 he is a beautiful beast. Looks great.

Yup. Too many Benny’s from NJ/NY moved down to South Florida and infected the state with their attitudes all the while complaining about how things in FL aren’t like they are “up nawth”....

Not to rub it in but beacuse of this dog the dog owner and I got our limit in exactly 20 mins this morning.
