I've carried these in a IWB holster at around 5 oclock on my belt for 6+ years. Mine is clear(ish) red and I have had a few people ask about it if it does get exposed, including some still asking if it is a (real) gun. My typical response (after explaining it is pepper spray) is that is about all the state of New Jersey will legally let me carry since they won't issue concealed carry permits to people who haven't already been murdered once or twice. This usually gets a laugh. Or a pained, sad, sorrowful look if the person lives in a free state. For what it is worth, they seem structurally well made and have held up to being on me pretty much all waking hours for multiple years. If you get one, if possible, check that you will be getting a fresh one. They have expiration dates 4? or 5? years from manufacture. I've seen some cheaper ones on ebay that were cheaper because they were old stock and had like 3 years left.

As pictured, stock would have to be pinned open, which the FFL likely has already done. I own a GSG522SD, which does not have MP5 in the name, but is essentially an MP5SD2 wannabe in .22. Since it needs to be a 16" barrel, there is likely gonna be a similar pencil inner barrel with essentially a closed mock suppressor shroud around it, which probably screws into the forend of the rifle and not the barrel itself. I have not handled this model, but the .22 clone MP5s I have handled were a similar enough setup to mine. Interesting factoid. Early model of one of the GSG MP5 clones had a shroud that the ATF later decided was a supressor because it apparently changed the noise somehow. I dunno if early ones had an empty can, but mine is solid and hefty. I would love to live somewhere I could SBR mine and throw on a real can. Would cost at least as much as I paid for the thing, of course.

Someone gave me half a box at the range years ago, ran a couple through my Marlin with microgroove barrel at a plywood target 5-7 yards away. I got hit by at least one ricochet that was so weak, I thought it wan an insect flying into me. I don't really remember what it did pattern-wise, but there was no obvious damage to the plywood besides maybe a few #12 shot being partly embedded in the surface.

Maybe don't try to use this excuse, but....

Trunk monkeys are some of the oldest viral videos I remember, though haven't seen these before. Is it an optional extra I can have installed on cars I already own?

Actually two, somehow.

I love my basic Henry H001 - it eats anything (even Winchester*, mostly!), it is always fun to shoot, and it brings out smiles (or at least grins) to anyone else who shoots it, too. Pretty sure I paid $325 for mine, but that was 7-9 years ago. I'm sure there are plenty of better levers out there, but it satisfies my itch for a lever gun and makes me happy whenever I shoot it or even handle it. *Winchester rimfire ammo has been trash in so many of my guns, I'll never buy any more of it again.

Depending on how they did compliance work, could be as simple as removing a roll pin and drilling a new hole. Ive always done my own because it is so simple, you'd have to work hard to screw it up. Course, I built my own, so I had option of doing it however I wanted. I went cheap and simple, cost me a few minutes time and a 15c roll pin.

I really wanna know if places like 11'8" bridge make more money from fines/youtube ad revenue than what it costs to pay a structural engineer, inspector, police, repair crew, etc for what is apparently something that happens almost weekly (from another video I've seen, I seem to remember like 48 incidents in a year). Or paying one time to "lower" the road a few inches over say 150-200'.

Take the 10 round limiter out and see how well that hexmag feeds without it and youll see why.

There were specific places my father's previous car always lost 101.5 signal. My car did not in same locations. Will have to ask if his new car still does it.

Id bet 95% chance it is compression in whatever you are watching causing it. If the stream is only lets say 8mbps at 1080p, it can handle normal stuff fine. Fast panning, large stadium crowds, rough water surfaces, and other high contrast/detail and/or fast changing scenes overwhelm the amount of bandwidth available, be it cable, streaming, or satellite. Video codecs typically just worry about changes in a scene, so a calm cloudless blue sky scene uses way less bandwidth than a scene with flashing police lights where the entire scene keeps rapidly changing back and forth between red and blue. A bluray or computer connected to that same TV will very likely produce a nearly perfect picture because those are not bandwidth limited. I suppose low signal strength or other issues could be a cause too, but I still say its your content itself. ----- I have a Sharp 4k, and while it is a smart TV, I do not use the smart features as I have mine connected to a 4k bluray, pc(s), etc. and have no need - any of those devices are more powerful than what is on the tv. Not that it is terribly likely to matter to Mrs. Peel, but a lot of basic (cheaper) tvs have fewer connection options like only 2 HDMI, which could somewhat limit future add-ons without a splitter. If I were suggesting a new TV, I would be looking for at least a local dimming/QLED TV and avoid the cheapest of the cheap TVs.

Place i found does ansi rated high end prescription lenses with coatings in wiley-x frames for around $300 if memory serves me. I will have to look where i found em when i get home. I did a search for ansi prescription shooting glasses when i looked, may get you started.

I've had titanium (or possibly flexon) frames made by Modo for at least 10 years. Finish is wearing off, but the metal is pristine with zero corrosion anywhere, including screws, around the lenses, or pads. I can bend these frames 45° and they bounce back like nothing happened. Super thin and light, too. Have held up to plenty of abuse. I plan to get something similar quite soon, and I've been looking online and trying to decide what I want. A lot of the cheap glasses packages don't come with very good lenses (obviously), but may be good as spares. There are better materials than plastic or polycarbonate which offer better clarity, so I expect to go that route when I get new glasses. I've also been looking at a set of (probably Wiley-X) ANSI rated prescription shooting glasses. As for EOTWAWKI, either I'm wearing the glasses I wear during virtually all waking hours, or I have to resort to the previous prescriptions I still have, and suffer with acceptable to marginal vision. I keep a set of those in the car/go bag. Beyond that, guess I'm pretty screwed unless I can loot something that works.

I still love that you can get a few dollars worth of pipes, nail, and wood and make something functional enough that they will buy it back, netting the builder a hefty profit. ETA pic

Metal hacksaw blade is a couple bucks and turns any rifle or shotgun into an assault weapon, doesn't it?

I rEaD oN tHe InTeRneT... When I first was told about this stuff, I did look it up online, and there were a fair amout of negative reviews. That said, I'm sure those reviews tend to be as unbiased and factual as the typical 9mm vs .45 debate. I've seen positive reviews of G2 RIP ammo, so its almost like not every review can be trusted. I think the common stated reason for the poor reviews was underpenetration, though could be wrong since its been 6+ years. Coulda been because one youtube reviewer put 40 layers of denim in front of a gel block, and everyone parroted the results of that single test for all I know. I would certainly consider the stuff if it functioned in my guns, and I can't imagine it wouldn't. I typically rely on the polymer filled tip rounds NJ has said are not hollow points in my handguns.

You should be able to disable things like Amber alerts and lesser warnings on your phone - google your model and disable emergency alerts. I got realllllllly tired of flash flood warnings going off in the middle of the night while I'm at home, at the top of a 900' hill. Leaving Extreme warnings enabled still gives you tornado warnings and I assume a few other things I actually would be concerned about. I was watching News 12 most of night after getting the alert about the tornado warning. Was pleasantly surprised by the coverage, which was nonstop and actually provided helpful information. Hope everyone came out OK with nothing worse than an overturned garbage can or lawn chair.

Shame it isn't in a useable size. Why even bother to make something that small?

Nikon scopes are discontinued. While you likely won't have problems, if you do, I have heard you essentially get Nikon store credit if they can't/won't fix it, and probably for an amount nowhere near what you paid. There are a TON of 3-9x or 4-12x 32/40/50/etc scopes of all price ranges out there. If you can deal with a low magnification of 3 or 4x, many of them are fine. I wanted a 1x but settled for a 2x on my low end and 7x on high end. I plan on slowly replacing many of my scopes with ones more appropriate for the kind of shooting I do, and most of what I have looked at have been Vortex or Athlon scopes recently. Chances are, unless you really research and buy a top end scope, you will buy one and replace it eventually. You will learn what matters to you, but buying 2 or more scopes will lose you money. The lessons may be worth the cost.

While fine when adjusted to me and my 6'2" height, some of us do take wives or girlfriends (though usually not at the same time) out to the range (bad idea, they will have access to guns). Because of NJ's stupidity, it can be easier to simply have more than one lower permanently adjusted to whatever lengths are appropriate for multiple shooters since it is clearly so dangerous to have a gun that can get longer than a fully collapsed adjustable stock. The problem with this method is that you eventually decide a fully assembled lower just sitting around is a waste, and soon there is yet another upper on the way. And now you need a lower to be able to swap around for different shooters of that newly complete rifle...

Only 1 AR? Eww. And I'm not even a big AR fan. You can always buy lowers. Build em up, NJ compliant, or hang onto em until you move. Or a few uppers to swap onto the AR you have. Or buy a NJ compliant rifle now. You can change out the stuff NJ forces on you when you move. Worst case, a new upper if you want every "evil" feature. I wouldn't care too much about a bayonet lug, so could probably get away with a new stock, and figure out removing a muzzle device. Dunno what the future holds. A bunch of lowers might be the best insurance policy if that is what concerns you.

I have a Sig Mosquito, and it stated to break it in with 500 CCI Mini Mags if i remember correctly. It also came with 2 springs, though no clue which I have in mine anymore (10 years old). Mine does have above average issues with ammo (unfairly compared to centerfires). However, that is due to crappy rimfire ammo itself or gun being picky with rimfire ammo, and not so much the gun itself. It does like the better ammos more, like the mini mags or stingers or velocitors. Not sure if that really is more likely to break the gun (esp stingers) but they are more fun. IMO, avoid ALL Winchester rimfire ammo, all my rimfires do very poorly with their ammo (even bolt and lever guns). Gun needs to be run wet. Like way wetter than a centerfire. Maybe add lube every 150-250 rounds, depending what you use. I have attempted to polish the feed ramp, and it hasn't seemed to hurt and possibly even helped. And trigger pull, particularly DA, is stupid high. Like 12 pounds, at least feels that heavy. I have a real 226. 90% scaled Mosquito feels tiny. But it is good for females and younger people with smaller hands. How much this applies to the GSG, can't say. But I imagine most of it does. I dunno if I had way better luck than average, I actually followed instruction manual and most did not, I am less picky than others, there was an actual bad batch out there, or a few people had bad experiences with theirs and everyone else parrots "tHe GuN iS HorRiBle!" I still enjoy mine. There are certainly better guns out there. I do kinda regret not just going for the P226-22, but I am still happy with my gun.

I have not been to the Clinton Walmart in a year+ but I used to get mine there often. Last times I was at the Boonton Walmart (beginning of April 2021) they had plenty there, around $7 if I remember correctly. I don't remember if Flanders has them. Now, target loads are a different story...

That is quite the change from what I remember there
