Most of the times I got married, it was the father of the bride-to-be holding the gun.

Phil Murphy is that you.

Did a wascaly wabbit stick his finger in the barrel?

For those who dont know what a Squib is... Here's an example I'm boxing it and shipping it... That's my job since i sold it to him.. If it were a transfer then he would be doing this

06 TJ on 33x10.5 with a 3" OME lift. Flush mount led taillights with corner guards, rocker sliders, badlands 9k winch and a bunch of other odds and ends. No shows for me just backroads and logging trails. She is hibernating in the garage till spring. J- just E- empty E- every P- pocket

Strider, You won't find anyone on this board that will advise you turning a firearm in to the police. There are much more beneficial to you methods of disposing of it legally, like selling it for several hundred dollars instead of getting a $25 gift card at a buy back. Furthermore, selling it to another supporter of the 2a is better for our community than having it destroyed and touted by the anti-gun community as another "military grade assault rifle" off the streets. Don't allow it to become a statistic for their benefit.

Started new project, picked up jeep CJ7 for off road driving may even put it in wicked rides show. needed quite bit of work, windshield frame was rotted, purchased new frame and windshield, getting the glass to fit with seal is tough, just put new glass on top of old glass and it is about 3/8 longer than old glass im sure this is the issue. steering column was bad so I replaced it with CPP tilt column also had to replace steering shaft with new column. Mt tires and new rims 31x12.50x15 steel D ring rims black. saved the aluminum rims that were on it they are nice rims but were too wide storing them with the micky Thompson street tires that are on them. Transmission pan had broken bolt and was leaking, removed broken bolt replaced pan gasket and filter installed all new bolts in pan. flywheel cover was missing replaced that. repaired wiring to tail lights, and horn. installed new starter old starter was grinding and was shimmed to work, replaced it with new mini wet magnet starter o shims needed. Replaced soft top windows old ones were stiff and rear was cracking. Installed EAG front bumper with driving lights and 9500lb winch. led light bar on front bumper mount, two led spot/flood lights on windshield hinge. Changed diff fluids, trans and transfer case. took it for 1st ride down to Tuckerton beach, was cold with no windshield. LOl.. powered by 350 chevy crate motor. Has fiberglass tub and original steel nose.

My money would be on a squib. Just because its factory ammo doesn't mean it doesn't/cant't happen.

Surrendered or seized ammo, if servicable, is usually consumed by the police at the range. Contrary to what many think seized or surrendered firearms do not usually wind up in some cop's personal collection. Does it happen? Often in the old days but not now. There's not many cops that want to risk their good job and pension to get a free gun.

Who knows what batteries will be around in 20 years? People who work on batteries. Battery technology moves SLOWLY. The economics of raw materials are going to be even less fixable. So first up, CObalt. 60% is in the African Congo. And we are fucked right there. The Chinese will own most of this, and the lefties will protest our using of it to death. Because that is largely already off limits, we already run into issues with accidentally procuring batteries with Cuban sourced cobalt. We got huge political problems with cobalt. Then there's lithium. Its everywhere, but you are looking at the lithium triangle for the vast bulk of it now and the near future. This is the easy lithium to get. The stuff is all over the place, but you are looking at a change in economic model of recovery once we need to stray out of this area, with likely a radical increase in cost. So on to the tech. First lithium battery - 1976. First "modern" design with lithium-cobalt oxide cathode cathode - 1980. commercial introduction of said technology - 1991. Currently we make minor improvements to the cathode design, membranes, and construction methods. Typically, in this mature area of research, they run about 3 years conception to POC, then about 5 years form POC to commercial availability if they are viable. Contemporary to the devlopment of the lithium battery were a number of alternative chemistries that were essentially dead ends. Could we get a genius who plucks something unprecedented out of thin air? Maybe, but odds are against it. So what's out there to participate in the current race? 1) Solid state lithium chemistry batteries - this gains us packaging options and about 2.5x the energy density of current lithium designs as well as faster recharge times. This mostly comes from an innate higher tolerance to heat and removal of flamable materials witht he move away form a liquid electrolyte. We even know how to make them. The problem is the method of making them does not at this time benefit from economies of scale and they are ruinously expensive. A roughly car-battery equivalent currently would cost about $100,000. An EV size battery would cost in the area of $80,000,000. So the big breakthrough is not what, but how. Panasonic, volkswagen audi group, toyota, nissan, BMW, hyundai, and dyson are all investing serious money into this technology and cracking that manufacturing problem. 2) Lithium air batteries. This is potentially one of the candidates for a solid state lithium battery based on "recent" breakthroughs. It's currently roughly at the state of the 1980 stage of lithium ion cells if their fix to some of the key hurldes are actually manufacturable fixes. Bonus is it looks like it gets rid of the need for cobalt in a lithium chemistry battery, and cobalt is the dirtiest and most expensive element in the current chemistry. 3) Aluminum air batteries. Just add water and you can have 1000 mile range!!! But you cant recharge it really. AS there is permanent degradation of the anode and cathode. This IMO is likely to fail based on the shortcomings of the technology. Not necessarily because it is non viable, just that it isn't special compared to the alternatives and likely to be book ended by a more achievable easier alternative, and a more advantaged complex alternative. 4) magnesium ion batteries - These are likely not going to happen. because they can't get a good liquid electrolyte going and a number of researchers have already abandoned it while it is in a state compared to lithium ion that is pre-1976. Those researches have moved on to... 5) solid state magnesium batteries. - compared to lithium it is still pre-1976. My guess is this will be abandoned due to the timing of development, OR it will be an alternative chemistry competing with solid state lithum to give us more options in sourcing materials. 6) liquid metal batteries - Nope not mercury, just really frikin hot. It's being researched, but I'm giving it low marks of going anywhere as it is based on the failed predecessor to lithium ion technology circa 1968. They have figured out how to make it less fragile, but it still needs a 300C operating temp. If it has any future, it's in power grid storage, not cars. That haven't fixed anything that made it an EV dead end in 1970, so... Also for power grid it will probably be killed by... 7) Flow batteries. If you read about this, it isn't for cars. It's for grid storage. It's more mature than #6 and scales well. If it is killed it won't be by liquid metal batteries, but something like pumped desalination brine that uses gravity as the energy store or other simple solutions. 6&7 are both of interest to darpa, and they are now soliciting portable field nuclear reactors, which tells you where their confidence is on both technologies. 8) lithium sulfer - no viable cathode yet. For the cathode designs the do have, the chemcical composition of materials leads to an 80% mechanical expansion as it is discharged. So... serious hurdles. 9) Flouride chemistries - potentially 8x the energy density of lithium chemistries. In theory, recent developments have overcome some of the significant hurdles of this tech. Namely a viable electrolyte, and a design approach that reduces operating temps from 150C to room temperature. This is pre-1976 state compared to lithium ion technology, or at best at about the 1976 mark depending on the details of that research. And by recent, I mean the research paper hit the news circuit December 2018. I will add that Bloomburg finaicial research, HSBC, and BP agree with me about EV uptake and manufacturing capacity. BP has recently put out some research. Here's anice article on the subject: http://www.thedrive.com/news/26550/bp-expects-oil-demand-to-peak-in-2030s-evs-to-have-little-effect-report BPs specuative financial analysis is that they expect peak oil consumption between 2030-2040. That is predicated on the notion that there will be widespread ICE bans before then, at lest for new vehicle manufacturing. Their numbers imply that they are expecting the vehicle market to either shrink, or be 90% or greater of new vehicle production by 2035. That's essentially saying my optimistic scenario of 100% new car sales in 10 years is more optimistic than theirs "worst case" (i.e. complete loss of a market). What they have a better grasp on I suspect is estimating fossil fuel demand psot EV switch. Mainly because they have a lot of money to spend on it and a vested interest. They say by 2040 they expect to see 320 millio EVs on the road, which will be approximately 16% of a projected 2 billion vehicles. What they don't expect is for fossil fuel demand to taper off at that point but to hold steady as other sectors continue to increase demand. So... Even if we switch 100% in 10 years, we are then looking at a 10-12 year ticking bomb on lithium supplies, and a petroleum market place that isn't likely to put a heck of a lot of pressure on the supply chain for used gas and diesel vehicles outside of the normal timeline on which used cars age out. So I'm saying that in about 10 years we will likely hit the tipping point where it is inevitable we are going 100% EV, or we will know we are scrambling for alternatives as we look at smacking into a brick wall on lithium. If we have a viable alternative, we are looking at ~2040-2045 as the optimistic case for 100% ev conversion for passenger vehicles in first world countries. The alternative to success or compromise is economic chaos and unrest. So we will either find a way, or we will stick with fossil fuels in some manner. My guess is that it will actually take longer to hit all those points, and plug-in series hybrids will displace straight up ICE and that manufacturer lineups will be commercially targeted diesel, with commercial and consumer EVs and hybrids making for the car line ups with the death of straight up ICE passenger vehicles in new manufacture by 2030 or so. Your approval of the engineering elegance will matter 0% as some engineering complexity will beat riots as an option. Yes, regulatory pressures could try to force us to avoid this, but you can see how well that has worked in France with the yellow vest movement.

DO NOT DO THIS. Keep them out of it at all cost. You can sell the ammo here, perfectly legal . Do not invite the MAN into your life.

Attached is an email from DSFC Brett Bloom of the NJSP Firearms Unit, the same person Lord_Fudd is talking about, that states the LAW folder is a no go. This was an official request to him from my agency for information. I redacted the email for per-sec reasons.

Any guy who pops the question and does not know the answer she will give has no business asking in the first place.

Thank you, and no disagreement here, although with my personality I know I'll turn it into a hobby...I grew up shooting with my dad (though never that AK, I didn't even know he had it), and will be looking to get back into it in the near future...probably a pistol (or 3), and I know where to turn to for advice when that time comes.

the problem since the beginning of this exchange is simple.. and the same thing I said from the start... I am NOT stating it is good to go or not.. what I am stating is I do not believe it is good to go based on the literal writings of the law... and IF the state sees it differently then fantastic.. but if that is not documented somewhere... good luck.. I specifically said in regard to the LAW folder that you MAY be able to "beat any charges".. but unfortunately the problem starts way sooner than that.. the problem starts when for whatever reason a normal every day cop ends up in your life viewing a folder on an AR15... there is a high probability that if they are even familiar with the gun law.. they would consider that illegal.. and now you have just boarded the NJ legal system roller coaster.. I have said a million times that gun owners are their worst enemy.. and I am not interested in paranoia or fear mongering... so the policy I see best being.. the law.. as it is literally written unless clarified.. and that is all I have been saying since post one.. "ability to accept a detachable magazine" means what it says... can you put a mag in the gun? if yes.. it is accepting a detachable magazine.. if the state disagrees.. then wonderful I guess if you would rather have a threaded barrel.. or flash hider.. or grenade launcher or something.. but since NJ is unlike CA and lacks the clarification of use of tools.. then there is no reason to think that the CA solutions apply to NJ... if he is friends with this guy.. great.. get them to spit out some letters clarifying.. because letters are something that can keep people out of trouble.. just imagine.. you are at the range with your law tactical folder.. CA bullet button thing... bayonet.. and flash hider and you are confronted by local LEO... what do you say.. "this guy on a gun forum is friends with the state police and he said that they talked on the phone and it is OK" I am going to guess that that conversation will not get you very far...

One would hope. The Lamp Post Diner has a pretty good staff, and owners, so I would like to think they would.

I think whatever the cause henry will fix it. They are a solid company with amazing support .... I think in the end they will make it right.

Should we start a pool? Flawed barrel or obstruction?

Earlier today, SCOTUS directed Gubir to submit a response to the petition for certiorari by March 22, thus postponing the conference of the case for at least another month.

White jeeps for the win!

Alleged obstruction If it was not an explosive thing and more a little by little opening then it might be able to happen without noticing.

My complex is close but it's a senior assisted living complex. If I get you in they may not let you out!

New Pics I think he was in VP of Barrel Manufacturing and let go.

Current DD still miss my old truck

Wow - was not expecting a Norinco - that's a beautiful collector's gun. Definitely find a new home for that if you do not want to keep it. I'm sure there's already a line of people waiting to buy it.

That barrel failure was most likely a bore obstruction of some sort. That's the only way a barrel would fail like that. A manufacturing defect is less likely. Most often I've seen that happen with muzzles that were poked on the mud and then fired. Squibs do happen. How often depends on the quality of the ammuniton. I've fired a lot of factory, commercial reloads, and my own reloads over my time. I've had exactly one squib. That was with a factory load in a M1 Carbine. I figure it had to happen sometime.

Try Sportsman Guide. They have member and non member prices, Sometimes they have free shipping codes. I posted a link for gun deals ( ammo ) a couple of post back.

The Blue Jacket is made by Hopkins and Allen, it's a "pocket pistol" chambered for 22 shorts but don't shoot modern 22 shorts because the cyl is too weak. You can probably shoot CB caps. est value $75-$100 The H&R is probably chambered for 32 S&W. The caliber should be stamped into the barrel. est value $125-$175 The Wide Awake pistol is also a 32 cal. Interesting note, these pistols were known as a "suicide special" back in the day. Est value is $75-$100

After reading that new article the dog owner sounds like the definition of s shitty dog owner. Real breeders dogs dont attack people or other animals or run at large. The guy has had 2 potentially dangerous dog charges with one still pending. Those cases dont take long because the dog is in impound until the judge's decision. So one of his dogs attacked a person and caused bodily injury or killed another animal recently. Sounds like a puppy mill scumbag to me.

Bore obstruction here, thanks to a squib. Barrel burst at the weakest point; the dovetail cut. I saw a Henry .357 in carbon steel that had three bullets just south of the muzzle. The barrel was just bulged.

LOLOL, well done silverado. Nope, not Phil Murphy, he's busy working on ways to tax other precipation. Zack, did they ask for DL and/or FID?

No, not a squib. The metal failed.

FYI - That rifle is a collector's item. Do some research before you release it to the wild.

Not looking to talk you out of selling it, but that rifle will be ready to work when you retire. Unlike just about everything else you own, this thing doesn't get outdated. It will work 100 years from now. And you don't need to get a FID to own it, if you inherited it. FID from the police only required to buy another - you can inherit without one. So you could put it in your closet and leave it for another 20 years and it will be ready when you are. There is something about having your father's guns...sell em and you may regret it. But do as you wish.

not at all.. in fact high unlikely.. technically.. you could probably get through life with a crate of 30 round mags in your garage... doubt anyone would notice the bayonet lug... probably not a lot of scrutiny as to if it is a brake or a flash hider.. but the conversation isn't about what you can get away with.. its about what is legal and what is not.. if you want to talk about what you can get away with? probably an awful lot... I don't believe the state is going around looking for things like that.. I just think they happen to come across them... you know.. during a traffic stop for a cracked windshield.. where a nervous gun owner offers up more info than is needed.. I used to race cars... and I got pulled over once because an officer saw my nitrous tank in the back.. next thing you know there is another officer and the supervisor.. 3 cop cars deep over a tank of compressed gas.. the exchanges were all civil but I got a ticket.. I fought it in court and it was dismissed.. but it still happened.. they thought they could write the ticket.. so they did.. and figured as always... that the court would sort it out.. thats the issue I have with a lot of your suggestions... its not personal at all.. its not that I think you are clearly wrong.. it is simply that your opinion stretches beyond that which is defined.. so it is very possible that if someone follows your recommendation that the LAW folder is good to go (for example).. they may have to defend themselves in court over that opinion... I think it is irresponsible to put info like that out there.. without some written guidance from the state....

Thanks, the drive is just too far.

I would assume the manager of the establishment would consider the tip a baby shower present.

golfbattery's a good dude. he won't bullshit you about anything

And that is exactly why I registered and asked this board for advice, ty! And btw...not at all delving into politics except to say that I am a liberal who does NOT support the left's stance against the 2nd amendment...and there are more of us than the media would have you believe. Lmao...I have considered owning a firearm, but like you said...definitely not the AK Thank you for the info!

Tow it to a range for target practice and charge an admittance fee

Best to use a keyed lock, especially at EWR. My last trip out (last year), they took my guncase to the screening room, and requested the keys. I told them that I would open it for them, to which they said that I was not allowed in the screening room. Now, I have traveled out of EWR dozens of times with guns, and have always been in the room to open the case; but on this occasion, they were adamant that I couldn't go in. Rather than miss my flight and argue, I just gave them the key.

Depends... It is all a blur now as to which airport... but at one airport the agent and TSA person had me open up the gun right there on the counter to show it is empty (but they had no clue what they were looking at). In other airports it was as simple as them giving you the form, you stick one in the case (don't need to open it to show anyone) and you keep the stub. That form shows up on the xray so when the bag goes through screen and they see a gun... that form shows up on the bag screen and tells the screener that the gun was declared. As to being discreet? Who gives a crap... seriously. It's just a gun. It is not a bomb nor do you intend on causing anyone harm. Being "discreet" merely implies that bringing a gun is somehow wrong.

And I have flown plenty with a brownells bag, inside suitcase, etc, etc. Heck, I usually even board the plane with my Safariland belt, holster and mag pouches on it. No one has ever given me a hard time or a second look.

The bow post you want far enough away so when you jacknife it doesn’t hit the tow vehicle. Only other thing is center mass over axle(s). The cribbing is kinda hull specific. Al is best for salt vs steel. This is a light weight boat. I wouldn’t over think it too much if you get a leak use that rubber spray stuff on tv and send pics

Basic concept of Alinisky, divide and get them fighting with each other. In the 90s I pissed off the State president of the FOP. He wanted to endorse Whitman, she was doing some antigun at the time. I stood up and laid it on the line, I will not endorse her as she is anti gun. The whole meeting went with me and she was not endorsed. We support your gun rights , you guys sound like antis compared to the cops I know. Murphy wants you to focus on us, not him and his socialist ways.
