    So I somehow stumbled upon this awesome Youtuber

     

    And he makes bushcraft camping look very enjoyable, challenging but enjoyable. So if anybody is into this style of camping how did you get started, where would you recommend I start, general bushcraft discussion.

     

    Unfortunately, my camping experience involves a campsite, a tent, and a cooler full of beer...not very merit badge worthy.

    If you are looking to buy a complete upper, make sure it doesn't have a flash hider or a bayonet lug and you are NJ compliant.

     

    Another option if you don't want to neuter a perfectly good complete upper is too simply build your own upper how ever you like. You get to build it how you see fit, barrel length, shroud/rails, brake.etc. More people build lowers then uppers, but it really isn't difficult at all just follow the build guide.

     

    But if you want to keep it cheap I would order something like this grind off the lug and replace the A2 FH. That will be about as cheap as you can get.

    As far as building your lower before neutering your upper, it depends on how much of a nervous Nelly you are. As DeerSlayer pointed out, there is some dumb law about intent or something, but I've never heard of anyone being charged with it, nor have I heard reports of LE raiding someones workbench looking for flash hiders and bayo lugs. Also as DS said, if you are worried about being raided for having a lower and an assault bazooka upper, buy whatever upper you like and have it shipped to your gunsmith for compliance work.

    Unless he experienced hearing difficulty and that's why he visited a Doc?...

     

    Sigh. :roulette:  Yes, exactly what made a doctors visit necessary. He skimmed over the facts relating to blank ammo and jumped right to the happy ending.

     

    I can hypothesize just as well as you, but if ex-carney man feels the need to he will further elaborate on his story....which is why I quoted his post to appease my curiosity.

    I have the ruger lcr 9mm. Nice little gun. I was shooting 147gr +p duty 9mm out of it. Recoil isn't too bad. If you are interested i have a compact p250 in 9mm that comes with the subcompact conversion kit. I liked that gun a lot just got a 26 for mag compatability with my duty 19. Would let it go for a decent price

     

    Joe doesn't sell guns or shoot them, someone text him and let him know his account was hacked. :hunter:

    Give me a break! MY little thread on this small forum will NOT have a significant impact on the national ammo surplus seriously people. Plus, I wasnt adding to the scare whatsoever just wanted to be educated on why there was a small shortage so I came on here to maybe find an answer sorry for asking!

     

    Matt seriously don't be so sensitive, if I thought it was your fault alone I would have said Matt you are causing a panic....but I didn't I said 'people' as-in the group.

     

    Gun owners who panic whenever guns are mentioned on the national news and then run out and buy up all the ammo ARE creating the panic. Obama isn't taking all the 22 from Walmart shelves, panicky gun owners are. There was never any fear of .22LR being banned, but yet shelves were empty for months because gun owners create the panic. Your "little thread on this small forum" may not have a significant impact on national ammo surplus, but every similar thread on here, on AR-15.com, on /k/, on THR, and every firearm forum snowballs into panic buying.

     

    I don't think Drez or myself are blaming ammo shortages, or panic buying on NJGF specifically. But all the members of firearm forums, who run out and buy ammo as soon as something happens are at fault.

    I really think at 10K per caliber, the food and water would run out long before the ammo! Unless you can afford that much food and water, and live in a fortress, some situations are just not survivable!

     

    Obviously if you are buying ammo for shtf you already have your food and water needs taken care of....water catchment system or a natural source. MREs, dried food, seeds for growing, and a garden already setup and producing food.

     

    But as I said IMO 1k rounds of ammo is not enough for shtf.

    Civil unrest type shtf I want at least 10k rounds of my most used calibers. Because who knows how long it will last. It gives you the ability to help arm your neighbors(militia), gives you a bartering item in the future when other people run out of ammo, and overall it's easy to store and hide around your property.

     

    But who truly knows what their needs would be since we have never had to face this challenge.

     

    We don't know precisely how much we would need but I'd rather have more then not enough. 1k rounds seems like way to small a number if you are truly preparing for shtf. I've shot 1k rds. of 223 in one range trip, and close to that in 9 and 12ga.

    How many people want to get the plowman?

     

    He has destroyed my mailbox 5 times in the past 9 years. And knocked it half over more. I have watched him do it a few times and ran outside but that was fruitless. I want to get the SOB but there is really no reasonable avenue for vengeance. The only thing I could come up with is to wait in a tree, paintball his truck, and then go try to find it at the nudy bar on the edge of town.

     

    I keep moving the mailbox back further onto my property. Now I have to clear snow and ice off my own property so the mailman can pull up the the mailbox. When there is a mailbox. Sometimes there are just two stacked milk crates with a mailbox bungee tied to the top.

    I am going to point out the obvious here but if the thought of selling it pains you then don't do it. Many guys have sold one gun to buy another and live to regret it.

     

    If you want a new toy just save up the coin to buy it, live frivolously for awhile or pick up a few extra shifts at work so you don't have to sell one to finance a new one.
