If it's recommended I guess it works then. Problem solved. I've seen more people bitching about how to fix problems with an A5 setup who refuse to listen to reason because the a5 system "fixes" a problem they never had with bolt bounce. The whole a5 system is managing a problem that is not worth the effort, ESPECIALLY for people not shooting full auto. It makes troubleshooting stuff like this a pain in the ass. If it's the mag, you have basically have one choice. When the bcg/buffer bottom out, the shock is causing a bullet to pop up out of the feed lips. Odds are if the feed lips are this messed up, your bolt over base failure will not involve just one round and will look like a double feed. Odds are that this will be limited to specific mags. This is probably not your problem. If it's not the mag, you have two choices. 1) the whole BCG/buffer combo isn't getting enough oomf and the bolt isn't clearing the mag and it is dragging the bullet halfway out of the mag from friction with the side of the bullet rather than things pushing on the case rim from behind. This will seldom look like a double feed. 2) The whole BCG/buffer combo is getting WAY too much gas and returning to battery REALLY fast before most in spec magazines can pop a bullet up to the top. In the free world this is a bit easier to troubleshoot because you try it with a full 30 round mag and that slows down the mag and generally causes a failure to feed with the bolt slamming home on an empty chamber. This usually doesn't look like a double feed, but due to the vigrous movement can sometimes make your mag do weird things. It also is more likely to really bend the crap out of the bullet caught by the bolt. You are running a full weight m-16 style bolt. With a +15% spring rate spring. With a H2 buffer. With a carbine length gas system (7.5") With an 11.3" barrel. So you have a ton of port pressure, but you have a whopping 4" of barrel for dwell time (~4ms), and an unknown size gas port. You know what has issues with too little dwell time and reliability? rifle length gas systems on a 16" barrels. That have a similar 4"/4ms of dwell time. That's why you don't see people with 18" barrel and rifle length gas and 6" of barrel for dwell time beefing everything up. That's why the stretch 16 barrel cuts it back to an intermediate length gas system, and those who want to sell a reliable gun with a standard gas system either use a mid length on 16, or a rifle length on a 17.X" barrel with some math done on the gas port. Here's a nice article on the subject Your heavy BCG buffer set up delays unlocking, which reduces battering, but without enough dwell time, you won't impart enough momentum to cycle it correctly. If you swapped the super 42 spring for a sprinco green or red, you really didn't do anything. Having a heavy buffer and heavy BCG in theory makes it take longer to unlock. You don't have the time to wait before running out of gas is my guess. To keep it from battering things, I'd decrease the mass of your BCG/buffer stack and not dick with reduced power springs until last resort.

Likely undergassed due to the short dwell distance between the gas port and end of barrel. Easiest way to try less mass in the recoil system is to pop open the h2 buffer and remove some of the weights. Don't need to buy anything, and it's reversible if it is standard construction. But you may need to remove more mass and resistance than that. I run a stretch 16 barrel with a rilfe length stock. It has a small gas port and not a lot of dwell time. I'm running full gas, lightened BCG, lightened buffer ( empty rifle buffer), and a 10% reduced power buffer spring. Now it runs like a top even in the cold. At the a5 length, I'd mess with the buffer, then if that's not enough, go look for a lgihtened BCG. BRownelss nitrided house brand one is $169.99 and in stock right now.

Stock barrel nut fits over a lot of gas blocks. But there's a fair variety of forends that clamp onto the mil-spec nut. THere's always rails that mount to the pic rail on top too. They are heavy and suck, but it's a varminter.... weight is good right? But unless it is something weird, the bushmaster varminter gas block is like a cut down minimalist version of the a2 front sight. It also has no muzzle device. SO they may be able to bash out the taper pins and put an a-2 on it. but if they don't want that the barrel nut should clear the block if you wiggle it right IIRC.

Between existing muzzle devices that are pinned and/or welded, and having to clock it and drill the barrel for a taper pin, the easiest route to a set of iron sights is to replace the forearm with something with a rail. At least without buying a new upper.

My $0.02 in general is have at least 4 years worth of shooting supplies on hand by end of spring prior to a presidential election year and keep it topped up. Then top up whatever you have used by midterms. I've spent some money picking up overpriced stuff because this is unprecedented panic and I might need extra buffer, but the above strategy has allowed me to largely sit out this panic and the previous one.

one thing I did not see in that article was that polycarbonate lenses you are trusting your eyes to should not be cleaned with alcohol based cleaners. It makes them more brittle just like UV does.

The interesting thing in zerohedge is down the page. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/consumer-credit-soars-most-record-credit-card-borrowings-explode credit card spending up massively, this new move cuts people off from consolidation loans.

Well you bring up what could be a major scumbag move which is to cut off options from real estate owners to force them into foreclosure.

I could see auto loans and helocs going away temporarily because those were pandemic inflated markets. Even sane loans are likely to wind up underwater. Personal loans are less exposed I'd think, and it is also in an area they got caught doing bad things before. If it is trying to insulate themselves from risk of default, there should be matching stats on individual debt levels. A lot of people used their helicopter money to pay off debt.

Doubt it. I mean lines of credit usually have adjusting rates if they aren't for a fixed sum. Given the bank my guesses are either: 1) They have been up to shady shit again and found it internally first. Getting out of the business for now decreases their chances of being caught. I guess one of the things they could be caught at was writing lines of credit to people who should have been ineligible, and they are concerned with them defaulting on unsecured credit, so they are limiting the depth of that hole. that fear could be interest rate related. 2) We are like a month out of the last reduced standards stress test, and they passed. They are now eligible for buybacks they weren't before, and they may be moving the outlay of cash from personal loans to that. 3) It's actually not fear of hikes but fear that low rates are here for a while. That means this type of loan won't be terribly profitable and comes with no collateral to foreclose on. A subprime car loan or sub prime mortgage is better than a sub prime personal loan.

We rented warships from private citizens. he's beyond wrong on that part.

I would not put an 8 round tube on it and put a removable block in it. That’s not the same as a 6 round tube. If it can’t be configured as is to hold more than 6 rounds, it’s six rounds.

Why would you have to pin and weld the cap? I mean it literally comes form the factory capable of accepting an extension tube. Why would still being able to accept an extension tube matter at 6 rounds rather than 5?

The primer shortages are going to last until the ammo shortages ease up significantly. As for the ammo, well I think we have hit the wall on that. I keep seeing 9mm having to pull back from ~$0.70 a round to ~$0.40 a round, and .223 has pulled back from $1 to ~$0.75 a round. From past history, we will probably get years of $399 a case .223. The question is how much volume at that price, and if it will ease up total demand on primer manufacturing. bullets and brass are already pulling back. The lowest I paid for 9mm brass pre-panic was $0.25 per k. I've already seen $0.35 per/k prices again. They don't last long, but the $45 per k seems to be pretty accessible. Bullets, well.. lets just say a LOT of units of Hornady 62gr FMJ was shipped and the people who stocked up by the truck load are getting antsy and have started discounting. I don't have good historical info on THAT particular bullet, but it sat between the popular 55gr bulk offering and the 62gr OTM bullet I use(d) a ton of and it's already pulled back to being about as cheap as the OTM version was. Which is probably the new normal given the manufacturer across the board price increases in the last year. Powder is probably the second scarcest item for reloading and right now if you want something, that's pretty easy to get. If you want something specific... that's a lot harder. And 4lb and 8lb is still scarce. If you have more than about 2 years supply, I'd say to hold and see. It'll be pretty obvious if price relief is coming in the next year. At that point you have a year to pick up more reloading components. It might not be the easiest advice to take, this stupidity has my fomo reflex going pretty hard on some things.

Unfortunately you aren't wrong. The way things work have pathologically incentivized a bunch of bad stuff, and this is one of the more obscure mechanisms.

You will also note before you posted your link I posted the right answer including the suppressor bit. Which you then contradicted while posting an article that agreed with me. But started I was wrong. If you don’t expect some ribbing after that, the internet might not be your thing.

It’s nj. If you are seeking a sarcasm free life, you need to move. Similar if you want easy to understand gun laws.

You need to learn to read more better. May I suggest The Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too. the article says BB Gun Pistols: Pellet or BB gun pistols are considered firearms in New Jersey. Therefore in order to purchase one, not only must an individual have a Firearms Identification Card, but they must also have Pistol Purchaser Permit. Additionally, in order to actually carry the pellet or bb gun pistol on their person, one must have a carry permit under N.J.S. 2C:58-4. You need an pistol permit to buy one... in nj. Its not a firearm in another state and doesn't require an FFL. The only reason NJ laws on transfers are followed at all in other states is because the federal government says so. So there i no need to follow NJ law in buying a non firearms in another state. It also says that if you carry it on your person you need a carry permit. Just like a pistol in NJ. Transporting it like any other firearm between exempted locations is not an issue. That does not require a carry permit. You can buy it out of state and bring it into the state so long as once you cross the border, you are treating it as if it were a firearm. The linked article is also wrong that you need a FPID to possess a long gun as well. You need it to purchase one. If you owned guns in another state and come here, you do not need to get a FPID. If you inherit them you do not need to get a FPID provided the inheritance meets the letter of the law to be an exempted transfer. The FPID will permit you to qualify for more exempted behavior. But for bringing it home and taking it to the range, you don't need it. Same for taking it home and shooting it at home if, as pointed out in the article, your home is someplace where that does not violate discharge ordinances.

That makes the assumption that the gun owners didn't and that if they did they would vote the way you think they should. Heck, every one of them could have, could have voted the way you think, and still lost with 38.5% turnout as there would still be 2+ non gun owners per gun owner.

It isn't logic. It's bullshit. The dude in india or some other foreign call center doesn't know why it's restricted. They just see that it is restricted and are telling you politley. "fuck off.. it's restricted because it's restricted." Now why it is restricted is probably because it is misidentified somehow in their ordering system. Back before Cabelas was sold to anyone not cabelas, they had excellent customer service. They would ship me a 10 round 10/22 rotary mag, but not the 3 pack that was discounted. I eventually got it fixed and the reason was that someone putting the sku in inventory put the capacity identifier at 30 rather than 10 and that field was put there to handle shipping restrictions. Walmart may have set a bot to flag all ammo and it grabbed the can for having ammo in the description and failed to distinguish between a can to hold ammo and a can full of ammo. Or it could be because someone decided they might get sued for selling it here because they can't read the law. Whatever it is the computer says no and wal mart isn't the type of place to fix that unless the mechanism is the logistics system says it sold X units less than predicted and for that they will replace it with a new similar item in inventory and that one doesn't get mis-filed.

you can bring them home. BUT... Make sure they do not have an integral suppressor. NJ has it's head up its ass on that one. The federal government just needs them to not be removable. But since in NJ they are a firearm, yay you are in possession of a supressor that is illegal.

Because it has nothing to do with exigent circumstances. That's why. I mention it because it is a form or warrantless search and this decision has been poorly represented as to its effect on warrantless searches as it is NOT about warrantless searches, but specific kinds of warrantless searches. I'm not sure why my feelings on exigent circumstances are relevant, but since you asked... I'm fine with the use to protect life and limb. I probably have different opinions than law enforcement on what, if anything, should be admissible as evidence when discovered under exigent circumstances. Using that excuse for apprehending a non-violent suspect? Is it at the boarder where they may in fact flee the legal system? No? Then stay the fuck out of my stuff. You can find them later. If they are a known violent offender than see the above about preservation of life. Destruction of evidence? You probably should have had a better case or you can just the 47 other bits of evidence you likely have against them. But I also think we could likely do with several thousand less laws. When you need massive exceptions to constitutional rights to do your job, you need to either do your job better, or it's time to seriously consider if the job needs doing at all or to that degree. See the war on drugs as the perfect example. Most of the violence involved comes from creating a black market. Most of the non distribution based crime comes in the form of theft to pay for the drugs. Lots of expense comes from both law enforcement costs and incarceration to save me from a problem that the system created. It'd likely be cheaper and more productive to have state sponsored rehab and trap houses. You either want help, or let you press the happy button till it kills you. If you are a functioning substance abuser, why the hell are we bothering you anyway? If you aren't, you either wind up in rehab or dead eventually. Why drag it out with expensive side trips through the legal system and incarceration? You see exigent circumstances used constantly to justify standard tactics in the drug war because "evidence might be destroyed" It's how we got to seemingly every warrant being a no-knock with machine guns and body armor. Even for mundane shit. Yet apparently it doesn't apply to shredding documents. Apparently some evidence is more critical than others. I can tell you as an average person, who has even had their residence broken into by drug addicts, those documents that got shredded have caused me more harm than drugs that might have gotten flushed down the shitter. I didn't see the tac teams kicking in doors and going in hot when investigating the banks that laundered the drug money. Is it, currently, as fucked as say qualified immunity? No. But it could use to be clarified and reigned in a bit... along with several thousand less laws.

That's you. My post was basically a slightly more wordy version of don't cheer, this does nothing about exigent circumstances or red flag orders (because red flag orders come with warrants, even if they are shit tier warrants).

I just said it doesn't cover exigent circumstances. I understand what they are just fine. I'm not sure what you think you are talking about. My statement is literally this ruling has no bearing on exigent circumstances and searches based on a warrant. It has to do with a very specific situation which is neither of those things. Red flag orders are shit tier warrants, but still involve a warrant. So this ruling has nothing to do with that. This is because the general concept of a warrant is it is issued in the investigation of criminal acts. It can very well be a warrant issued to police because police have said they would like a warrant to harass someone who has done nothing. That being the point of red flag orders. To do something to someone who has in fact not done anything actionable. I'm sure that red flag orders will not survive contact with an honest court protecting people's rights, but this case is not that case. We aren't there yet.

https://www.gunbroker.com/ffl/index you can look up FFLs near you that will do internet transfers here. It's always a good Idea to contact the FFL before you order and have it delivered. If you can't get ahold of them ahead of time, you will have problems getting ahold of them after they have your stuff. But even so it's a good idea to let them know something is coming and to make sure their listed rates are current so there are no surprises.
