Most people pin their stock, because it is somewhat removable, in case they need to swap out the stock or something. There is no NJ law stating that it has to be a pin. You just need to prevent it from telescoping. Since there's no straight place to pin that, i would suggest epoxying the mechanism shut. If you want, figure out which position you want to have it at, remove the stock, place some epoxy in that buffer tube hole and slide the stock on. This will glue the stock pin to the buffer tube. Then, get some epoxy into the mechanism of the stock latch (i know it's a big part on that BCM stock), and this will prevent the adjustment mechanism from being used.

Having a vert grip on a rifle is legal. Therefore, since your stockless AK is a rifle, it is legal.

HOLY CRAP. There are literally 10 posts in this thread about "not doing it because it LOOKS illegal". TECHNICALLY? AKs and ARs "look illegal" to begin with; we just have to do the NJ-legalization dance to make them legal. They still "look illegal". Its fucking legal. Let it go.

It's Plainsboro.

I'm gonna do it. Thanks for the positive reinforcement, gents.

It's just a magazine body. It's like saying a pile of belt-fed links (not connected) is illegal. If he had the spring and follower, then I would say it's a no-no. But just a magazine body can't be considered a magazine.

About a year ago, I signed up for the ANJRPC Strikeforce project, where they were taking specific instances of delays in FID and P2P being issued. I gave my info, and today I was contacted by a lawyer working for them, who advised me that my town was being "aggressive" and asked for specific examples. The lawyer asked if they could use my name as an example to the PD. I'd be more than willing, but I'm worried about potential retaliation from the local PD. Am I just being paranoid? I don't think that they're going to intentionally slow down any future P2P applications, just more of a general harassment as this is a fairly small town and there don't appear to be that many gun owners.

http://warsport-us.com/shop/war-sport-gear/lvoa-rail-bungee.html#.VL2oFS47VRE Warsport came up with it for their LVOA. Some people use, it some people don't. Works for some people, doesn't work for others.

Old people do.

Didn't read the post, but the answer is no.

Probably fine, on a Federal level, but what effect would it have in NJ?

The hexmags have a shorter spring, not allowing it to work if the riser/block is removed.

He shoots himself due to bad technique drawing from a holster, but still considers himself to be an "expert". ALWAYS ALWAYS do research on the "firearms instructors" before you pay money for one of their courses. And IMHO, stay away from anyone who is associated with James Yeager/Tactical Response.

Grebner makes me physically uncomfortable to watch. He literally does not handle a gun competently. Simple as that. Guns are difficult to master, yes. But MOST people can handle them safely and with some degree of confidence. Grebner? He looks like a drunken uncle whose only gun training came from watching "Commando" in the '80s, but considers himself some sort of firearms expert. You know the type, the one who muzzle sweeps everyone in the room with his finger on the trigger, and yells "I know what i'm doing!" when you try to correct him.

The scariest part about this whole video is that Grebner is an "instructor", yet he seems to have NO aptitude whatsoever while handling a gun. For someone who is ostensibly a self-taught "expert", he's very unsure when handling a gun. I've seen first timers at public ranges who are more comfortable handling a gun than he is. Another thing, i know that James Yeager/Tactical Response is well-known, but are they well-regarded in the training/tactical world? Based on this video, it seems like they teach some really dumbshit stuff. The redneck ballet that BLF describes is one of those techniques that is an exaggeration of real-world tactics (turn and scan). It seems to me that the 360 twirl is to make the Tactical Response training, "different" than all the others, and therefore nonsense. Also the "cycle the slide every time you reload" technique is, to me, questionable at best. My logic would be that expending one round every mag change isn't worth it, because if the trigger is pulled on a dead chamber, the remedial action would be to power-stroke the slide to chamber a round. Finally, the crouch and pick up dropped mags technique seems silly. He describes the course as a "fighting mindset" course; on what planet would there be time DURING a gunfight to crouch, and feel around the floor for expended magazines?

It looks like the CO is using their older CET technology, given the "1 year constant on use", and with the MSRP of $393 i'd expect the actual street price of closer to $350 or $325 before any sales/incentives. I wouldn't be surprised if it'd be sub $300.

Hmm. So it looks like the cost will end up being the same as buying new mags, plus a potential loss of reliability. I may end up doing 1 just as a beta test and see how it works, then decide on converting the rest. Thanks for the info.

It's remanufactured, so likely just whatever brass they had on hand.

Has anyone tried to add +2 or whatever to their ban-state 10-rd Glock mags? I know there are a bunch of different aftermarket baseplates out there for Glock mags, but they all say "not for 10-rd mags" due to the different internal geometry of limited mags. I've got a Glock 17 with a bunch of 10-rd mags, and i wanted to add capacity. Has anyone been able to figure this out? Ultimately, i'm buying some of PK90's 15-rd Glock 17 mags, but was hoping i could so SOMETHING with my existing 10-rounders.

If there's a need for a separate thread just for the AAR, i'll repost, but otherwise, here goes: Sage Dynamics, based out of Atlanta, GA was the Day 1 course instructor. This was their Defensive Handgun Fundamentals course. The goal of this (entry level) course is to teach students different scenarios in which a handgun would be used in a defensive situation, whether concealed, or open carried. Lead Instructor Aaron Cowan advised the students to wear their usual carry rig and run that throughout the day. I carried open, since that's the most likely way I'd carry at home. The class size was just about 15 or so people, with a third being LEO. Aaron explained that this is about the maximum size he’d like to see with a class, so that all students could get sufficient attention. Aaron began by explaining the reasons he teaches the way he does; a lot is focused on physiology of the target and what will "stop" an attacker. He breaks it down into 3 different sections of the body: electrical, hydraulic and mechanical/structural. The brain is considered the electrical, heart/lungs hydraulic and pelvis the structural. His philosophy on shooting someone is to go for the "off switch", which is the brain. The priorities thereafter would be chest and pelvis (if need be). When we got underway, he had everyone shoot a string of accurate fire at their target so he could assess the level of proficiency each student had with their pistol. Aaron discreetly advised each student what they needed to fix and be aware of with their stance/grip and groupings rather than shouting it out to the whole class. The entire session was like this; it was very casual and personal while not being embarrassed about skill level. He stated more than a couple of times that the drills he was having us do should be done at our own pace, and that a class like this is just providing information for the student to continue practicing on their own. The crux of the course was teaching us how to draw and fight with our pistols in optimal, and sub-optimal positions. The entire time, we were told if we did not feel competent enough in our weapons handling skills that we could step off the line at any time (no one did). Drills we were taught were from standing, kneeling, and lots of transitioning from shooting from the ground to standing. The other thing he kept trying to instill in us was to “Get off the X”, which is a training scar we ALL have from shooting at static ranges. This was the other part of the course, to shoot while moving. We moved forward, backwards, laterally. The most challenging and fun part of the course was doing all that with a partner, who sometimes had the ability to shoot alongside you. Of course, the instructors also demonstrated what it would look like at full speed, and seeing a couple of tuned up guys like that shoot in parallel was an awe-inspiring sight. Throughout the course, Aaron Cowan of Sage Dynamics instilled confidence in his students, as well as keeping the tone light-hearted and FUN. Aaron made careful and thoughtful explanations of why and how he was teaching, and encouraged questions and dialogue about his methodology. Both he and Paul van Dunk were approachable and never brushed anyone off at all, no matter how silly the question. Aaron even let me check out his EDC; a tricked out Zev Tech Glock 19 with an RMR mounted on top. I’d never actually handled a red-dot enabled pistol, and he was more than happy to let me see and dry-fire it. Safety was paramount, and though no one demonstrated unsafe handling, it was apparent that the instructors were watching for it and ensuring that everyone stayed safe. At the very end, Aaron had us qualify based on a set of drills, so that we’d all get a certificate of completion for the course. He explained that if any one actually got in a defensive shooting situation, this would allow him to testify in a quantifiable manner as to the abilities of the shooter. All in all, taking a course like this being taught by Aaron Cowan while being assisted by another high level trainer like Paul van Dunk, was an incredible experience. There were no egos from either one of the instructors and that made a huge difference in opening the minds of the students. The overall tone of the class was informative, fun and lighthearted while being seriously educational. Despite the pouring rain for the first half of the day (we shot through the rain, because real world situations), everyone there had a great time. These two instructors seem like a couple of guys that you’d want to grab a drink with, and as a matter of fact they invited the entire class out to have dinner together afterwards. The next time Sage Dynamics comes up to NJ for a class, I’m taking it for sure. Note: I can’t provide firsthand experience of Day 2 of the course because I was not there, but it is the Pace Performance portion with Paul van Dunk was the lead instructor, and based on the course syllabus it seems like it is focused on technique, ie trigger control, sight picture etc. Based on how Paul shot in Day 1, I DEFINITELY have to find time to take his course. Watching his skilled technical draw stroke, combined with the speed and accuracy at which he hit the target speaks volumes about his ability as a teacher. Luckily, Pace Performance is based out of East Stroudsburg, PA, so the classes he holds here are more frequent.
