    Never been to shooters, but a buddy of mine said its a great place.

     

    I've been to both SS and brick, a prefer SS.

     

    A few reasons why: inventory at SS is by far better, handgun cases are full, rifle rack is full.

    The range officers at SS are on top of newbies

     

    Brick armory has almost no handgun stock. Their range is a bit nicer than SS and they do have storage area in the back, which is great.

     

    Shore shot 225 yearly membership: pistol and AR can be used, must shoot frangible ammo, and must be brass cased

     

    Brick was 350 for pistol and rifle, not sure of pistol only membership rates, and can shoot up to .30 cal no special frangible required.

     

    The lack of inventory is the main reason I stay at SS

    You said you'd use it for long range and hunting, ever thought of the .270 win?

    I love the flat shooting trajectory, and like the 30-06, the ammo is easy to find.

    Another quick question.....

     

    So I am pretty sure I need a new tube...

     

    Would it be legal to have the magpul fixed carbine stock on when I am in the state on Nj and a collapsable stock on out of state?

     

    I mean, as long as the collapsable isn't on the gun is it legal to possess in NJ?

    Basically looks like this photo. I do believe I can see the pin, and think with a set of punches, can get it out. I wouldn't feel comfortable drilling new holes.

     

    Would the magpul fixed stock be able to slide on the old buffer tube?

    Do you have a picture of the stock currently on it? Also I'm sure a few ffl's on the board here will gladly adjust it for a reasonable fee.

    It's the "stock"stock, cheap collapsable look a like. It's an entry level gun, I don't wanna really put much money into it. I can find the magpul moe carbine fixed stock for under 50, that's about all I want to go into it further.

    About a month ago, I posted a thread about buying or building and AR, and after coming across a great vendor deal, I purchased an Mp15 sport model from remixer for under 600.... Thanks again Steve!

     

    Took it to a range last weekend, and loved the gun with one exception, the pinned legal stock is too long for me. I'm 5'10, but have worked out a lot in the past and have a pretty large chest ( not bragging) and the length of the firearm isn't perfect for me.

     

    I know collapsible stocks are a no no in this great republic, and have been looking for alternatives. I like Magpuls look, quality and price. A local shop had the MOE fixed carbine stock in stock and almost bought it but.....

    I'm a newb, and am not that handy. I mean I striped my glocks all the way down to clean them, but again a monkey can do that.

     

    Would that be a product I could install myself with minimal work? Minimal tools?

    Would I need a new buffer tube?

    Would I be able to get the old stock off that's pinned?

    Is it even legal to do this myself.

     

    I'm kinda in a time crunch now too. I am going out of town this weekend to the south, and will be bringing it with me, gonna really test it out at a real range down in NC and would love for it to "feel" better.

    Were they asking anyone for FIDs and logging info for 5.56 and/or .22lr?  Paramus store said that "NJSP wants FIDs for all handgun and certain rifle rounds" :haha:

    I went out on Friday for some shopping and errands and stopped at DSG, East Brunswick. I don't carry my FID in my wallet, it doesn't seem to fit, and don't want it getting damaged.

    I went into the store, and between my father in law and I, we scored 12 boxes of the cheap 5.56 ammo. No FID required.

     

    I asked for a box of the 22 that was on sale and was denied. They require an FID for 22lr.

     

    Guess I should start carrying my FID in my Walter rather than my range bag.

     

    Another DSG story, this time Freehold.

    I went to get some 9mm, still in stock last night at 730pm, not sale price, but regular price of 14.99.

     

    A man wanted to buy a shotgun that was on sale only Thursday through Saturday. The sale ended last night. Of course, NICS was closed, so no sale.

    The man asked, "will it be on sale on Monday." Salesman said "no."

     

    I asked the salesman if they could sell the man the shotgun and simply just run the NICS on Monday, salesman looked at me like I was crazy and said "that's illegal!"

     

    I asked why it was allowed on Thursday night for Black Friday sales, and not last night for this guy, and he said Thursday was a "special exception".

     

    I can't take their BS.

    Thanks for the input guys. Problem is: I don't know what I want! I have no opinion, just want something for fun, and quality at the same time. And try not to break the bank, a vendor on here has a sport model for 650. I know I can't build one for that.

    Somewhat mechanically inclined, tools would be an issue.

    IMO build it. You'll have fun, customize the gun to your liking, and gain intimate knowledge of how everything works along the way. When I build my first one I used this guide http://www.ar15.com/content/guides/assembly/lower/ , there's tons of info out there, even vids.

     

    You can get  a budget base model M&P for $700, or you may want to think about extending that budget another hundred or two. You'll be able to choose the parts you want, and have stuff like full magpul furniture which IMO is much nicer then stock CAR style stuff.

     

    I'm not going to tell what the "best" stuff is as that can be subjective, but I can tell you that I have chosen to make my AR builds with stuff like Spike's lowers along with Bravo Company and Palmetto State Armory full uppers. Furniture and rail systems are up to you, lots of good stuff out there. I'd just stay away from the unbranded stuff. I can't stay enough good things about magpul... affordable, quality, functional. Rail systems will set you back much more, but its a decision you should make when you choose an upper. Get one with the rail system that you want already installed if you can. Will set you back anywhere from another $250 to the moon.

     

    16" barrels make for a great multi-purpose rifle. You could even go with a 14.5 with a factory pinned brake to make it 16". Don't forget any full upper you buy, you have to either have the seller pin a brake before shipping, or you can take the upper with a brake of your choice to a NJ smith to have it pinned for you. Usually another $30 or so service.

    I appreciate the info, and it appears we live in the same town.

     

    It all seems too overwhelming to make the choices.

    Only thing I would change is the front hand rail. I know the sport doesn't have dust cover or forward assist, but they aren't deal breaks for me.

    Mp15 ORC might also be a contender because I can find it for 100 more, and it has the dust cover and forward assist.
