I smacked mine with a rubber mallet Or use a brass or nylon drift and mallet. Either of these methods but it might take you a few tries to get it right. I've used the sight adjustment tool for my SKS as you have a pusher which can be used for windage and a tool for elevation. Just remember when you are making adjustments with teh front sight you move the sight in the opposite direction you want the round to go. Need the bullet to go left, push the front sight to the right, need the bullet to go higher, lower the front sight.

Super Colibri is very quiet in a rifle but you'd have to feed one at a time.

As far as I know you would still have the duty to retreat into your house. you do have a duty in NJ to retreat into the home The use of force training materials for Retired Police Officer training says you do have an obligation to retreat from any encounter when less than lethal force is being used against you but you do not have to retreat if someone is using deadly force against you. I do think this would be the same for everyone in NJ who is not a LEO. If you run into the house you do not have an obligation to retreat from any force if you are in your own home.

The key word here is Assailant. Even if the person stealing your stuff from inside your home isn't an assailant yet, once you demand they disarm or withdraw and they do not, they become an assailant. I agree with this but the question asked was "to protect premises or property". If the BG is not an assailant and not trying to enter your home, your options for use of force are more limited. There are many people sitting in jail throughout the country who shot at someone trying to steal their car, bike, etc. without being an assailant. recall seeing in the Connecticut laws on using deadly physical force that you could, for example, shoot someone who was trying to burn your house down. This would have legal in NJ some time back also. It was also legal to shoot fleeing felons in NJ at one time.

Is the use of lethal force in defense of "premises or personal property" even legally acceptable in NJ? I would expect NJ to string you up if you use lethal force to respond to anything less than an imminent, lethal threat to yourself or someone else. Use of deadly force top defend premises and property only is not acceptable anywhere I know of. Lethal force can only be used to protect yourself or someone else from serious bodily harm or death.

Also, it's a bit difficult to keep blazing away with the long d/a trigger pull of a revolver Not if you know how to shoot a revolver.

I went through this time and it seemed to me most owners of "assault weapons" did thinkthat the law was going to overturned. I fixed what I was trying to say. What do you think would happened if you filled out the application and submitted? Do you think there is a slight chance one might get it approved? I think in the past over 20 years the law has been in effect someone may have tried this. I don't know if anyone was successful but I kind of doubt it.

http://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/04/nyregion/new-jersey-assault-weapon-ban-nets-one-gun-and-many-appeals.html According to the link above there were 355 registered operational and 191 registered disabled. I went through this time and it seemed to me most owners of "assault weapons" didn't think that the law was going to overturned.

IIRC there were less than 400 guns that were registered operational in the entire state.

I'd disgaree with you on these points Maks Buying new = guaranteed loss. (depreciating asset) That depends on how long you keep them and how you take care of them. For example I have a S&W M64 in excellent+ condition I bought new for $135 in 1974. Also have a Combat Commander (could use a refinsh, have had internals rebuilt once) I paid $175 for about the same time. buying used = merely exchanging one asset (cash) into another AFAIC most prices on Gunbroker are very high although you can recoup your money if you do with them as I said new ones. Ammo, shooting range fees = expense This is little consideration for many who buy a firearm for SD they buy the gun, shoot it a bit, maybe get a little instruction, and keep it in the nightstand for the nexr 40-50 years. I bought a Model 36 S&W from a dentist who bought it during the riots in the 1960s and a box of WW RNL ammo with 10 rds missing. It was as new. He asked for $100, I said it was worth more but he responded he wanted to get rid of it and had only paid $65.

A simple form needed to be filled out. No sign off by Superior Court Judge like MGs. You could register your "assault weapon" as being operational or disabled. I will post a copy of both registration forms shortly. PK90, I think the OP was referring to how to legally aquire an assault weapon in NJ now. That is contained in: N.J.A.C. 13:54-5.2 License to purchase, possess or carry a machine gun or assault firearm Click the link below and go to the bottom of page 31. http://njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/062408_title13ch54.pdf

As I understand it, the better quality stainless steel won't attract the magnets. I understand that this has to do with the alloys, but I am also not an expert on metals. I have however been taught that high quality stainless steel will not attract magnets. This is correct and I'm not a metallurgist either. The only firearm I have ever seen made from non-magnetic stainless is an early (1965-66) S&W Model 60. Somewhere, early in the production run, S&W changed to a magnetic stainless. The non-magnetic stuff tended to wear out tools much more quickly than other steels and the change was made to lower production costs. There may be some other guns made from non-magnetic stainless but other than the early 60 don't know of any. The only issue I can see with these gun magnets is: 1. Your firearm will eventually be magnetized. You can use it to pick up nails then. 2. Don't know if magentizing metal alters its strength characteristics.

He said back in the day (he said he retired in 1993), that you could apply for a permit to own assault weapons, and that to qualify you needed to be able to get a handgun permit. If you dig through the law I believe a "permit to own an assault weapon" does exist. However, it is the same process one would go through to own an automatic weapon and we know how many of those are in private hands in NJ. The only thing an handgun permit would have to do with it is: 1. If you can't get a handgun permit you can forget everything else including long guns. 2. If they wold require a handgun permit if the assault weapon is a handgun which I doubt. There are those who registered M1 carbines, AR15s, and M1As as Pizza Bob related.

It must be done prior to it's original expiration date though. As jackdawack said this is incorrect. I had one that was expired by a week or two and it was renewed with me losing that week or two. Every PD will be different. This is the correct answer. I've had everything from "wait I'll take it back to the chief" to dropping it off and being called a week later.

It seems an old Army entrenching tool (with a wooden handle) can perform most of the functions at a lower price.

NJ does not define misdemeanor and felony. NJ has offenses and crimes. See form sts-033 lines 19 and 20. An offense is equivalent to a misdemeanor while a crime is equivalent to a felony. True but Northern Yankee's "misdemeanor" possession charge would be a yes to 19 or maybe 20 depending on what the maximum sentence could have been. My point is a misdemeanor from somewhere else needs to be translated into NJ terminology.

Being that a misdemeanor is not a crime in NJ you do not even have to mention it on your FID application A misdemeanor is a crim e in NJ and anywhere else. With a misdemeanor conviction if the question is felony then the answer is no, if the question is crime the answer is yes.

Looks like they can even ship with 15rnd mags FWIW H&K makes 15 rd mags for the MP5. These are intended for when its worn concealed.

Go to NJSP.org, public information, click on firearms, go to laws.

If you shoot a bad guy and call 911, you have admitted your guilt to murder in most states under most conditions. You are guilty of murder, and the burden has shifted to you to prove a defense. You have to admit shooting the bad guy in order to claim self defense. if an intruder is in your home.. and you have reason to believe that you are in grave danger.. you should defend yourself with every ounce of fight you have in you.. coupled with every tool at your disposal.. period... I agree with Vlad on this. The BG is in your house and most likely has a criminal record. This kind of shifts the burden to him to prove what he was doing there.

The more police that are put on the street equals more crime found, therefore it looks like that more police = more crime. "Found" crime and reported crimes are two different things. In high crime areas many police are going from one call to another and they don't have a lot of time to "find" crime. If you're talking about a not so high crime area and the police are agressive, yes they will find more crime. Reported crime is a better way to determine crime rates and clearance rates. There will always be unreported crime however. Although he had many faults, Giuliani reduced serious crime in NY. He consolidated NYPD, Housing, and Transit which should have been done long ago. Initially, there was more crime as NYPD was not letting anyone get away with anything, arrests were made for any petty crime. When the players saw they couldn't get away with the small stuff few graduated to the big stuff and the crime rate went down. Also, don't forget that the ratio of residents to law enforcement is greater in resort and business areas. This is a gimme in any resort area be it NJ, Las Vegas, or anywhere else. You need a police department to take care of how many people are in your town on a regular basis. Crime rates in resort areas are skewed toward certain types of crime as in Seaside Heights the rate for assault skyrockets in the summer compared to say January. The statistics can be skewed anyway one likes. True but reported crimes seem like a more logical place to start.

Most places in dem controlled areas are overcopped. I don't see that of some master plan of the Democrats to create a police state. It's more Democrat adminstrations are more likely to initiate the types of programs that don't punish criminals. Look at our NJ cities and places like DC, Chicago, Detroit, etc. Police departments are as big as their crime rate. Comparing Newark, Camden, or Elizabeth to a national average is meaningless. Police presence does nothing to eliminate crime. An experiment was conducted in Kansas City about 40 years ago. They literally put a cop on each corner in a high crime area. They found the criminals jusrt moved to adjacent areas and committed their crimes there. Crime wasn't eliminated is was just moved.

Luis, it sounds to me that you have a slight timing problem as you say it only happens rapid fire. It may need a slightly thicker hand to bring it back totally in spec. When people hear timing and the hand they usually think they need a longer hand but the thickness of the hand has more to do with timing. Not a hard fix if you know what you're doing but I'd send it to S&W. Your gun doesn't sound dangerous to use but I'm sure you want to get it fixed ASAP. I'd like to throw a word in here on springs. Many shooters modift, replace, screw with springs for a lighter trigger pull etc etc. It has always seemed to me that the engineers that designed the gun kind of figured out what strength spring to use. In addition to turning the screw out on a S&W many cut down the recoil or trigger return spring. This actually slows down your shooting as it takes longer for the trigger to return to battery moreso if you're rapid firing DA. Ed McGivern who's speed records stood for quite some time until Jerry Miculek beat them always used stock springs in his S&W revolvers. He put 6 shots into an Ace of Spades at a distance I can't remember in something like .40 seconds. I think I read something about Miculek saying he used stock springs also but don't hold me to it. I'll save my epistle on semi auto springs for another time.

So should I turn it until it's tight? Yes all the way in. Now if you want to find out if its the gun or ammo go to the range with some of the ammo that was misfiring and some you know to be reliable. Try the reliable ammo first if that doesn't work its the gun. Then use the ammo that misfired, if it works it was because the screw was backed out if it doesn't it's that ammo.
