    Had the Pardner Pump chopped to 18 1/2" and PG'd it..

    I mangled the threads trying an extension tube... I then sold to an FFL whom said he could fix it..  :roulette:

     

    Ran great at the range for me before I mangled it.. built VERY well..

     

    Since I needed another one.. I just bought the Pardner Protector (shorter and no choke) from Dicks for $219 and only put a PG on it..

    Built 5 lowers.. and alot of uppers..

     

    Kept changing things..

     

    Cheap Red Dot (x4).. Eo Tech.. Fancy Rails (x3).. Different Scopes (x6)..

     

    I found using just regular 'irons' when testing on a bag on the bench.. yielded (for me) the same 3" or so group as a 3 MOA red dot did..

     

    So now I just run the 'irons'.. at the end of the day your usage will dictact what you should buy or build..

     

    S&W MP 15's have good reviews and are decently priced IMHO.. then you can 'grow' that when you figure what YOU want out.

     

    Keep in mind NJ AR's are neutered.. fixed or pinned stock.. and pinned/welded compensators/brakes are the 'norm'.. so buying something cool online might get you an ugly surprise when it gets to your NJ dealer and they tell you thats it not legal for transfer..

     

    Also 10 and 15 round magazines are all you get in NJ as well..

    Been there for 3 years.. (time to renew).. Never had any issues.. Last time out the KID (looking) range officer asked about my 10 round 54R VEPR mag.. (but that thing looks like a 30, so I couldn't blame him).. I showed him how it holds 10..  He was in AWE by how big the mag looked.. but only held 10.. LoL

     

    Nobody has ever asked me about pinned stock(s).. and I've had alot of them..

     

    The timeouts are kinda annoying.. like every 18 minutes.. so you get like 40-45 minutes and not a full hour.. but the 200 yards is nice..

     

    Its way better than 100 yards and sitting only at say Wicens over in PA.. and the RO trying to critique you and help you.. LoL

    Range bag.. ear plugs.. ammo.. mags.. adjustment tool for AR sights.. MilDot master.. Some 223/556 MilDot quick cards I made up for my scope..

     

    Truck.. I keep the target (FBI Q paper ones).. Staple Gun/Staples, Shooting glasses.. Cleaning rod.. Caldwell 'bag'.. some small 3" diameter AR500 steel targets..

    If you can get the stock OVER the pin tip.. then you can slid off and then pull the PIN out.. then get full slide back..

     

    Depends on how it was pinned and where it was pinned..

     

    I got a CTR on one of my current firearms and pinned under the extra friction-latch.. with epoxy.. so I am truly glued..

     

    I had it originally set to the wrong position so I had to work quite abit to get the original pin job reversed..

     

    I loved having to drill another hole into the tube 'ridge' for another PIN..

     

    Picture of the PIN before the epoxy was added and then re-inserted..

    I have just over 1K of my 223/5.56 for my AR, 1K of 762x54R for my VEPR, 300 rounds of 9mm and 100 for my 22LR rifle..

     

    Can't shoot at all really as the fear of paying the $$$ money vendors want currently is rediculous.. I shoot about 100 rounds each time I go out on the minimum side..

     

    My rifles are VERY lonely without their ammo..

    I live in PA and shoot in NJ.. everything I bring to NJ is NJ compliant.. I pin the stocks.. leave the fun mags at home.. weld and pin on Comp/Brakes, etc..

     

    I had a range guy whom thought my 10 round VEPR 54R mags was more than 15 rounds.. I explained currently there is no mag for the VEPR 54R that holds 15 or more.. and then showed him the factory 5 next to it.. he then understood what I was saying..

     

    Certain ranges will be nice and tell you to just 'stow' it.. problem would be if you get an LEO in a bad mood shooting next to you.. or you get stopped from A-B..

     

    I've seen out of state military (stationed in NJ) thinking folding bayonets on the SKS's were OK at the range.. I casually mention the possible issues and some of the NJ laws..

    Just bought a mil-surp 50 cal ammo can.. $22 and then tax.. for the little cans.. $13 + tax..

     

    Back in 92 when I got my 1st PP I bought a Makarov in 380 for $199 (with 12 round mag).. now the pricing seems HIGHER or AT full retail..

  21. Posted

    Ordered a crate (880) of the 54R for my VEPR.. was $135 and $162.95 total.. and a box of PMC 55gr XTAC is $6.99 (was $5.99 till early spring).. ordered 240 rounds of that just to add to stash of my cheapy Wolf Mil-Classic I run in my AR.. Came to $91 (or $0.38/round)

     

    The standard 223/556 is getting hard to find for small qty's at all.. I can't afford the $399 or $379 for a case in one shot.. hence the above..

     

    Every election year everything gets wacky..

    So I got my modified VEPR Slotted AR Style Forearm today from CSS..

     

    Heres a picture of the step CSS mills into the newer ones so they can drop right into the VEPR receiver front end..

     

    Before.jpg

     

    It still would not quite slide in.. so dremel-fu was needed to get it under the trunnion..

    And..

    Finally done..

    Added a 3-9x40 Sightron Mil-Dot scope.. shot another 120 rounds.. (now at 340)..

     

    Shot 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards.. I had to move the stock back 1 click for proper eye relief.

    The JP Cooley Comp/Brake really helped cut the 'kick' down as well..

     

    Very happy camper..

    Drilled and tapped the Comp/Brake for 8-32 and used a tiny SS 8-32 screw (bought online).. recess it abit for the next step.

    And then a HF Mig welder on low 25 amps.. (not 80/90)..

     

    PinWeld.jpg

     

    Clean it up with a dremel or leave as is..

     

    The CTR has 2 holes next to the friction lock mechanism.. mark with pencil.. remove stock and drill thru the AL..

     

    Then use a 1/8" trigger guard roll pin from AR (or 2).. make sure to not go thru both sides.. and then epoxy over..

    Well heres a 90% photo as I have to wait for that corrected slotted forearm (shown above)..

     

    The Dinzag modified G2 for VEPR 54R/308 was a drop-in.. he rocks..

     

    Notched and polished the G2 abit as well (on left)..

    New MagPul CTR stock (pinned) with 0.70" enhanced pad on position #2 is a 12 1/2" LOP with 9 5/8" from the squared part of the receiver (the original wood was 10 7/8").. which matches my old Saiga 308 (which was 9 1/2")..

     

    Overall VERY HAPPY..
