If you don't want to pay a vinyl guy, you can just buy some frisket film and do the same.

I can think of a couple scenarios. Batfe does the footwork on the 4473s to determine the firearms were not purchased from an ffl by the two guys. Two guys say it was a legal face to face, but can't produce a receipt or other record on the spot. Guns a seized as evidence for a straw purchase investigation, guys are let to walk because they probably weren't a straw purchase. Or because you have people stealing inventory from ffl A, and selling them under ffl B's license. Seized as stolen goods, but not previously reported, as they only came up as missing due to batfe compliance audit. The guys had no knowledge they were in receipt of stolen goods having made a legit purchase with 4473s and the batfe knows it so they walk.

No idea, they are new. But their auto popper knock off is $212. That's WAY more than the original from MGM, and I can pick up two colt speed plate shaped ones from bunker hill steel and have $40 left over for ammo. The bunker hill one is ar500, theirs is unspecified.

You can pick up, at least you could. Call them.

Or cornmeal. But not real ammo, which isn't really shooting IMO. Maybe it's just me.

DO you mean the new JP captured spring thing? That doesn't need a buffer as far as I know. If you mean their centerless ground flat wire spring, it's nice, but then I ahve to ask what spikes buffer? You need a rifle length buffer, and as far as I can tell, spikes doesn't make one. If you want to spend money, spend money on a really good trigger. Next up spend money on good glass. That heavy barrel is probably capable of a lot more than the fixed 3x magnification of that scope.

speedwell targets in union makes all sorts of targets. Theri USPSA targets aren't totally to spec and aren't official, but they are close enough for practice. http://www.speedwelltargets.com/cart/index.php?main_page=products_new

Not necessarily. IT also depends on the policy you choose. If you don't choose the limitation of liability option or whatever it is called, your rate nearly doubles. My mom always insisted on this, once I was able to separate into my own policy, the savings to me were DRASTIC, and I certainly was not in a lower risk pool at that point. Insuring a brand new 1997 Eclipse turbo cost at least $1000 less than the 88 toyota camry I had had the old policy choices on. I don't recall how cheap the camry got when I got on my own policy, I just remember all the dire warnings about how much it would cost to insure from my mom and the fact that it was less than what she had me set up for with a sensible car.

http://www.pocketcannons.com/ As an item, I don't think it is illegal in nj. Correct me if I am wrong. I cna't go over the river and buy one, its availability is limited. I don't believe I can mail order it legally in NJ. Can an FFL just mail order it? Would it require NICS etc. and thus cost more to transfer than to actually buy?

Like I said, with ICS, they are approching parity with usability. They do some things different, and either will seem harder coming from the opposing platform you are used to. For someone who is a blank slate, it should all be about the same. My main problem with android is summed up in this chart. It's a bit dated, but the problem hasn't gotten much better. http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphans-visualizing-a-sad-history-of-support

Apple doesn't do flash. Flash sucks on android though. Yeah, for websites that still rely on flash for basic things they shouldn't like menus, it's nice to have. That's not very common anymore. It helps a little with embedded video that is flash based and not using HTML5 as a wrapper. That's only a little more common now. The main thing it helps with are flash graphical elements on product pages. Pretty much everything else flash you cna see on android, but the flash isn't coded to dealw ith teh touch interface. For exmple, truecar.com ahs a nice flash interface. Iphone can't see it. Android can, but can't manipulate it properly due to touch. Flash is less of a killer app on android than it should be.

I retract my previous statement, as that compartment was NOT what was on the stock I handled. That's much more like what I expected. It looks like it in all other respects, and yours has the amount of storage I would expect from the external dimensions. Wonder what the stock I handled was?

I've got android devices and phones (work) and an iPhone (pay for it myself). Android has gotten better. If you do go android, 100% get something running ice cream sandwich. It's approaching good enough that you don't care if upgrades are coming. Because they probably won't and if they do it probably won't be in a timely manner. Most of the android ecosystem is effectively treated as an end of life product somewhere between day one and six months. My android phone had crippling bugs on day one, and has had all of two updates. One of which is a giant pita to install requiring downloading a pc program, finding a windows pc running 32 bit xp or vista, installing the right drivers for the phone, and crossing your fingers and hoping you don't get the magic driver error that makes it think the update is not applicable to the phone. Then you are stuck trying to clean out the registry after uninstall so you can try again. The manufacturer moved on after six months and is never going to finish fixing the software problems. ICS is way less broken, and the marketplace is maturing nicely. On my transformer prime I can live with it. The tricky part is finding hardware that doesnt have a sneaky issue like a crap gps antenna, wifi antenna, etc. The iPhone will be better supported over the full two years. iTunes is a turd, but it isn't really needed anymore past activation of the phone, and even if you do use it, it is functional but awkward, not completely broken. My 3GS got updates the whole 2.5 years I had it.

I think claiming to be tutors is odd. Especially for a firm in nj with it being verifiable they aren't expected to be doing such at the school they said. What they had on them were firearms I'd expect on a law abiding Ccw holder. Looked like a baby glock, ruger lcp, and a small frame revolver. Only odd thing there were the 30 round mags. On top of that they were compliant with the law, and didn't have a record to prevent them from being armed. There also appeared to be no reason to involve the batfe. It's odd. They might be crooks who are very good at skirting the law, but I could definitely see it being someone trolling for a lawsuit.

Not just that, but were stopped a second time the next day, and let go again to sick the BATFE on them, who ALSO let them go. There's some odd behavior and story telling there, but they obviously don't have a record, and haven't been caught doing anything chargeable. Given the 30 round glock mags on the baby glock, and the sum of cash being just a bit under $9k, about the only thing that I could come up with after them clearing a cursory investigation three times is the are just trolling the cops.

Lights mounted on the gun: the main problem with them is that if you are using the light to identify someone or thing, you are pointing a hot weapon at something you ahve not yet identified as something you don't mind shooting. That's generally a bad practice. If it is something you don't mind pointing a loaded gun at, then it works fairly well except for lighting up what is usually something hovering around your vitals. Lasers mounted on the gun: About the only pro is that under stress, lots of people go to a target fixated focus. The laser allows you to still aim with a target fixated focus. For me, when I have tried lasers on the range, I found them awkward as heck, and seeing what shake I had with them would result in a negative feedback loop for me where trying to reduce it just made it worse. That was with slow aimed fire. With rapid aimed fire, the dot just becomes very hard to track quickly and slowed me down. I didn't find it that useful, but that was also in comparison to having skills I have practiced I could substitute. I can't say there isn't some point where it is a useful crutch rather than mild hinderance, depending on skill level. I also didn't find it that hard to ignore it unless it was dim enough that the contrast between the gun's silhouette and the target got crappy.

OK, triggers. If you want something that feels like a 2- 2.5lb 1911 trigger, get an ar gold trigger. If you want durable with a decent feel, get giessele. If you want a drop in trigger pack, Chip McCormick, timney are decent at this point. I'd probably go timney first becuase theirs is a bit nicer feel. The CMC one had to bump up the weight to avoid reliability issues. Wilson combats trigger packs look good, but I have yet to try one in person. If you go with a drop in trigger pack, if it does not come with anti-walk pins, or some other form of pin retainer, GET SOME.

No I mean the people demanding someone's head on a platter, or felony charges for things that aren't felonies. While there are cops that have done things worthy of hard time who got no more than some unpaid time off from work, I'd like to see the law enforced like it would be for joe average. You or I get busted for 110 in a 65, we aren't doing hard time either. With a clean record, lots of fines, yanked license, pay a lawyer, etc. and they should be subject to similar. Get busted racing the company car on the street, you probably get canned.

looks are not deceiving. All the SIR like tubes are heavy. 14.50z without any of the rail segments attached, and the bottom half that can be removed for m203 compatibility is plastic. So... just saying. I like ARMS low profile back up iron sights. Not so much the rest of their stuff.

In some states, no not to work on state residents firearms (at least that's what I ahve been told). In NJ, definitely yes, as you need a permit or an FFL to affect a transfer. Regardless of the actual limit of the letter of the law, you save yourself problems with just getting the FFL that outweigh the hassle of getting the FFL.

They aqren't there to get out of the hood. They are there to chane the voting profile of the district the housing is in.

It really depends on your dies (how much they guide the bullet in), your bullets (profile, hardness, plating thickness, and what the jacketed you are coming from were like), you (what you consider jsut enough, and how straight you place them) and to a small extent your press (mostly with how square everything is). Plated are more delicate when it comes to doing battle with the case mouth, so they need to seat closer to vertical than jacketed do. If you compromise the plating, and you are dealing with higher velocities, you can start stripping the plating and accuracy can go to hell. For example, the lee powder through belling die is a nice belling die. It flares and expands in a good ratio. It'll do plated, moly coated lead, lead, and jacketed just fine wiht nothing more than a little twist in or out. OTOH, the hornady powder through expander for their powder drop die in .40 sucks. It just expands and does not bell properly, especially earlier revisions, and it doesn't expand enough to help the bullet seat to a vertical position. If you don't jam it in there, it is pretty much the die ramming it against the case mouth that orients it. It SUCKS for moly coated lead that is made form soft swaged lead wire. It worked so-so on softer plated bullets. Harder ones it was ok for. I moved to a powderfunnels.com universal belling insert along with the hornady powder measure stop, and had much better luck at a universal setup that works with whatever I throw at it. My recommendation is to make a dummy round and pull the bullet after. You will look for a few things. If you are too tight, even without pulling the bullet, you will see the plating shave, or serious gouging, you need more belling. If you don't, pull it and check for minor scraping/shaving damage. You can pretty much eliminate it by adjusting the belling. you also have to care more about crimp with plated. The jackets on jacketed bullets are springy. Plated, lead, and moly coated lead are ductile and tend to hold a shape. If your crimp is too severe, you will get a dented ring around the bullet with those bullets. In .45 this never caused me issue. With soft moly coat in .40, getting rid of it increased accuracy. It also decreased leading because on moly, that crimp dimple was enough to occasionally compromise the coating. With plated, you'll jsut get the dent, it shouldn't compromise the plating even on soft plated bullets like rainier. Hard plated bullets like xtreme it takes a LOT of crushing to compromise the plating. Also, with plated or moly coated lead that will hold their shape and don't have a crimp groove, do NOT roll crimp. Taper crimp only. I've used the lee factory crimp die on plated without issue, but on moly coated lead, it undersized the bullets and accuracy went to hell. Mic your dummy bullets that you pull before you seat them and after you pull them. If they are getting undersized, ditch your FCD for a normal taper crimp die without the sizing ring at the base.

primary arms has good retail prices on them and had stock yesterday.

Yeah, for anyone trying out plated.. one thing to check is try shooting relatively close up to a cardboard target, like 5 yards. See if you see pinwheels of lead around the bullet hole. If you do, you are compromising the plating. It may still work fine for you, but there is accuracy to be picked up adjusting your reloading process (usually belling and seating). If pushing them really hot, you may need ot back down on velocity.
