Never been much of a fad follower type of guy. But,,,,,I will look into the Slide Glide, thanks. Dry slide sounds like it might be worth checking out, thank you for mentioning it.

No, if you notice the examples I mentioned, these don't get more than room temperature. The hottest tool I am likely to deal with is drill bits and Sawzall blades. They are meant to force metal against other materials. Not exactly like what firearms are subjected to in the "contained explosion" sections. I was merely thinking of the parts that are subjected to friction of parts against parts other than the high heat areas. Mag release, triggers, pivot points,,,,,,,,,,,places where oil might be messy and grease being overkill.

I'd agree about the temps being a factor, and certainly wouldn't likely use it on the bolt area at all. It'd be great in the trigger area tho,,,,,,,

Ummm, that's almost the same as the "feed a man a fish" / "teach a man to fish" phrase, isn't it? Heaven forbid someone becomes self sufficient, the democreeps (oooh, did I just make up a new word?) would lose half their base.

Dredging up a slightly older thread, I'm wondering if there's a reason no one suggests or protests the use of silicone lubricants. In the world of tools and household items, I have found it better than W-D 40, and useful in place of oils in some applications to help with many metal to metal friction reducing needs. When it's sprayed and allowed to dry, the propellant dries away and the film left behind doesn't seem to attract dust and dirt like many other products. Window and door points like hinges, roller wheels, cranks, etc. Hand tools like crescent wrenches, channel locks, Yankee screwdrivers and pushdrills (remember those?) like the silicone stuffs. I squirt some into the edges of socket ratchet drivers too, sometimes, to lube the ratcheting mechanisms. Teflon, also, as someone else mentioned, does well in these areas. I use several types of grease on garage door rollers due to it's adherence qualities. Wheel bearing grease seems to hold up pretty well, and costs far less than the stuff sold in stores that is labeled as for garage wheels. And I fall back on the silicone to get the into the ball bearings in the posts of those wheels. Can anyone speak to these points about silicone for someone not as well-informed on the firearm side of things?

So how does the Pittsburgh issue relate to the boyz in da 'hood? Seems like all these damn Dems EVER do is feel-good legislation. Well, it ain't making me feel good, and MY taxpaying tit is getting sore.

Can I use whatever number I want? I'll choose to use 2A as my universal number !

As the completed firearm still has no serial number, isn't that still a ghost gun? Won't those be illegal as well, regardless of who or where built?

"If NJ only had "Common Sense Gun Laws" like Chicago, it could be the same Utopia, free from gun violence! Oh, wait..." This is the part that gets me so danged much,,,,,,,,,,,, "Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald, D-Camden, backed Murphy's call, saying he hoped lawmakers would act on a package of bills — some new, others previously vetoed — by early next year." followed a bit farther by: "Greenwald said the proposed new measures would "protect the Second Amendment" and "do not intrude into that right."."

Okay, maybe my memory is getting really bad, but didn't I hear or read that this alleged shooter was, in fact, (unfortunately for us) a licensed gun owner? If I am correct, then having a "smart gun" that only works for the owner would have done nothing to stop this person. Just one more absurd example of passing more and more laws that already have federal versions that aren't getting properly enforced. And that will not prevent ill-minded people from doing ill to others.

Ask for a reception cake!

Look up Evan Nappen, his office handles matters of firearm laws for lots of folks in New Jerksey. Not tying to push anything but U.S. Lawshield members are able to ask questions like this of the lawyers involved.

You have some great doctors, I think, in that regard. I bet they came here from a state where people have gun racks in the rear window of their pickup trucks! It's interesting that they have/find the time to expend on such topics in this day of pushing to see as many patients as possible per day. Hey, maybe pass their office phone number to the OP here? Docs love getting referrals, don't they?

It's unfortunate, but doctors in general tend to be opposed to firearms. Not all of course, but a few years back I read a report about this very thing. One of the others (jackdawack) mentioned just asking if doc considered you a threat to yourself or others, without using the "g" word. I think that idea has a lot of merit.

Hey, who says I have a metal AR15? Mine is 3D printer plastic, including the pointy thingies that come out of it! Forget the bet, woudja settle for letting a fellow enthusiast buy ya lunch one day soon?

The last decade or two have been 15 round limits already. If you mean 15+ mags to be 20 or 30 round ones, I have to admit I haven't heard of busts, but absence of awareness isn't quite the same as it not happening. No, I won't take that bet, you do make a good point. On the other hand, I don't stand outside with a golf club in a thunderstorm. ( I don't own a golf club either, btw. ) Yes, I am relatively sure that if there were people getting charged with excess round magazine usage we probably would have heard of it by now. Point #2 in your favor. I'll admit to being a little bit of a scaredy cat in this instance.

I just might do that, even if it goes against (a little) my preference for keeping private info private. I'm no super-survivalist, but the concept of operational security isn't completely lost on me. I'll have to give that some real consideration.

My guess is based on paranoia! I have put up too long with the B.S. in New Jerksey to want to get caught up in something even Evan Nappen hasn't had luck dealing with. I like how you think. On the other hand, if they want to, a few little fish make for a decent meal just as well as a 6 pound trout.

Sniper and Mich, you BOTH hit the nail on the head. It almost seems they WANT to keep it vague. I have seen the magblock items, and would go for those if I was sure I wouldn't have to worry about it being accepted. Heck, at around 6 bucks each, it's cheap enough, especially if we ever get the 10 round bull repealed. It's bad enuff that we were stuck with the 15 limit. From your mouth to the judges ears!

Do they specify how the pinning is done? I'm no gunsmith, but have been working with tools all my life. If I knew just what was going to pass muster, I'd be "pinning" mags for several handguns that don't seem to have reasonably priced 10 rounders. Between the drill press and other stationary tools, plus all the regular ones I use for furniture building and carpentry I'm confident I could do it if I had a little guidance on what Johnny Law would be okay with.

I read Ted Koppel's book after reading the Forstchen trilogy. It was quite a bit informative, while being a bit dry, but mostly it scared me by putting SO MUCH of the information in one place. I knew of a good bit of this, but he clarified things and put them more in perspective. And showed just how horribly our gov't has "prepped" for it. (unless they really DO have bunkers for the select few) The One Second after series, as well, gave a lot of "pause for thought", and made me really wish I had a closer circle of like-minded folk near me. Or had more family in the vicinity.

I don't know what part of SO.Orange you are in, but I doubt it would take you more than 20 minutes travel time if you manage to avoid commuter traffic times. Otherwise, double it!

Update. Stopped in over the weekend, they had a canopy out in the parking lot, say they will open in November. They are DIRECTLY behind the Harbor Freight on .22, by the car wash. Buddy of mine says his son-in-blue applied for job. Probably will get it, as I suspect they would be happy to have LEOs working there.

I can tell you my first one was in '78, and was the same as my current one issued in '02. Even the fingerprint part. Back then they didn't even mention yes or no about laminating it. Mine came that way. My current one I did the protective cover myself.

The CCP is a wee bit smaller than full size but close to your PPQ. Single stack, with the great soft recoil setup, and now the new ones have done away with the hassle of the special tool for taking it down. (CCPM2) But it pretty much feels like the PPQ in the hand, just a bit slimmer. I know you mentioned not adding another bullet size, but I have to admit being surprised at not seeing a .22 in your list, and, being the ammo is back to reasonable cost, I would toss out there the idea of adding a .22 pistol or rifle something or other to your options. Plenty of good quality stuff out there for decent prices,,,,,,,,,,,,Ruger, S&W, Walther, Beretta, almost all the known brands have something pretty good. Just my 2 cents, worth about what you paid for it,,, (careful tho, some people get carried away, I know a few who have ended up with dozens of the little bullet shooters )
