    I couldn't find anything specific to your question in NJ Llaw. However, there may be a case against you for constructive possession.

     

    But the ambiguity of the law works both ways, YMMV,

     

    I've had them shipped to my house before, but that's my decision, and I converted them to 15/30s straight away.

    And a friend who knows what to look for.

     

    I do want to take a rifle class.. Appleseed or similar, though even those might be too advanced for me at this point.

    Hell send 'em my way And I'll review em for ya!

     

    And Sage Dynamic is running a class in NJ this weekend. Too bad it conflicts with my personal schedule.

    Not bad. I'd suggest setting up a gopro or some sort of recording device and record yourself shooting it from a third person perspective that way you can go back and review and see what you're doing wrong. Breathing, trigger squeeze, not maintaining a stable shooting platform, flinching, trigger reset can all be ascertained by 2 cameras one close up.and one a little farther back.

    Think of it as the result of a Glock 17 and a shorty AR getting together on a drunken evening. It is blowback operated but maintains the same controls as an AR. Upper, FCG, buffer, extension, and furniture are all AR too. The only drastically different part is the mag well and the LRBHO setup since the Glock mag design is so different from the AR mag.

     how do you like the joe bob lower?

     

    any issues with magazines not dropping freely?

    I actually have an old ranch rifle and I installed a barrel strut on it. Greatly improves accuracy on the older pencil barrel.

    I've had a question.about that. It looks like 2 small clamps attached to a rigid piece of tubing. You think a DIY version.would be effective?

    14.5" bbl + 2" muzzle brake = 16.5" OAL, louder and a fireball.

     

    16.25" bbl plus TP = 16.25" bbl and less fireball + 150fps more.

     

    The barrel lengths are virtually the same.  Do you want accuracy or do you want tacticool?

     

     

     

    you seem to think that 1.5 inches makes a huge difference in accuracy. 

     

    i think this explains much "http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/10/daniel-zimmerman/the-truth-about-barrel-length-muzzle-velocity-and-accuracy/"

     

    and as counter-intuitive as it may seem, a shorter barrel in a pre 580 series Mini 14 has had smaller groups on multiple tests as can be seen on forums such as Perfect Union and the Ruger Forum, The thin pencil barrel of the pre 580 Mini 14s flexed a great deal. a shorter stiffer barrel helps negate that dramatically.

     

    realistically this rifle won't be taking shots past 150M-200M anyways, a  distance at which I've regularly tagged with  11in. SBRs... So the argument of a 14.5 inch barrel being less accurate than a 16 inch barrel at that distance is academic.

     

    and to be frank, a loss of 150 FPS, (and  several tests have put it as low as 57 FPS difference), is not a huge consideration for me. however having a Muzzle device that helps reduce as much recoil and flash as possible is important as I've previously described the situation.  If you read my first post on this thread, I actually wanted a FH which does help mitigate SOME recoil instead of a traditional muzzlebrake, which is still better than nothing. that being said even a Muzzlebrake such as a Mod 0 does a relatively effective job of redirecting the noise and flash away.

     

    instead you seem to keep pressing for 16 in. bare barrel, and anything other than that is "Tacticool". there are MANY practical applications for Flash hiders, compensators and muzzlebrakes. 

     

    But I'll bow to your greater judgement, I guess we should rip off the FH's from the M4's, SAWs, 240's and the muzzlebrakes from our Barrets and m2010s at my unit. 

     

    all kidding aside, thanks for your responses everyone, I appreciate the help and I'll be contacting Tier 1 soon. 

    is there any other gunsmith Forum regulars would recommend for a barrel chop and Pin/weld?

    I had a 40 round mag that looked just like that for my Mini in the 1980s :)

     

     

    Yeah, the Navy SEALs would never do something as stupid as to adopt an M16 with that barrel length as their default carbine

     

    /sarcasm

     

    *drops mic*

    Haha it WAS a 40 rounder when i lived in VT (one of the most gun friendly states. n the union). When i came back i cut up a block of delrin and epoxied the mag plate. The looks I get at the range makes it worthwhile hahaha

    Thanks guys!

     

    I'm probably going to do the MAG pad.

     

    As for optics, I'm still on the fence. I really want an Aimpoint T1 or H1, but can't really justify spending that much on it. So I started looking at the Holosun micro red dots and the Vortex SPARC II. An EOTECH would also be awesome.

    I HIGHLY recommend the Primary Arms Advanced Microdot.

    Well never the less that's still an extra 2 inches I need lopped off.

     

    As of yet i haven't got an answer to my question. I do appreciate the responses though gentlemen.

     

    You will be better off with a 16.25" bbl and a target crown than a 14.5" bbl with a muzzle device. I had a lengthily discussion with a ballistics engineer scientist gunsmithy guy with 50 years experience about pretty much the same issue. Those extra inches will let more powder burn inside the barrel and give you more velocity instead of belching out fireballs from an energy sapping short barrel.

    In a research article presented by by Dr. Philip H. Dater & Jason Wong on 8 February, 2012 from the small arm defense journal presents a similar result.

    Fig 1post-4334-144278333626_thumb.jpg. Shows the decreasing velocity of the M855 cartridge starting from 20 in. All the way down to 5 inches.

     

    As can be seen a 16 in. Barrel has about ~150 FPS increase compared to a 14.5 n barrel. For my purposes a 150 FPS loss is acceptable if I can mitigate As much flash and recoil, I'm thinking of something like a BCM mod 0. My father is getting back into shooting, he's been ill and frankly is old. I'd rather have him be able to shoot a weapon accurately at the cost of some FPS than have difficulty hitting his targets.

     

    I'd rather thread a 16 in barrel but with his short stature I'm trying to have the weapon as short as possible and still stay above the 2500 FPS mark to balance out comfort and effectiveness.

    It might be a better idea to cut and thread the barrel 16" and not have to permanently attach the flash suppressor. You can then put whichever muzzle device you want and change it out if desired.

    Good point. Will consider it. Know anywhere that'll do it for a fair price?

    The military built the XM177, CAR 15 and other versions with 10-11" barrels. They found they needed long surpressor to deal with the flash from the short barrel. Eventually they realized add a few inches to the barrel and take a few from the surpressor and you have a more effective package in the same size. The fact that none of these short barreled M16S are in the inventory today speaks for their value.

     

    On the other hand if this is what floats your boat go ahead.

    I think something was lost in translation friend. The picture you see is the BEFORE picture. The gentleman I bought the rifle from chop the barrel and tack weld it that ginormous flash hider to it. Since then it has been read barrels with a full length 18.25 inch ruger mini 14 barrel. My intention is to have the barrel cut and 11° crowned at roughly 14.5 inches to allow for an A2 style flash hider or similar muzzle device of a similar size to be permanently affixed to the barrel to put it just over 16 inches
