CAL. .30 M1

Loading to max pressure.... why? Some things in this thread.... proper brass prep is required for all shooting... especially rifle calibers... and that does include cleaning a primer pocket..and at time removing a crimp. @oldschool was correct you need proper primer depth in a semi auto rifle .... to ignore that is a potential problem. We wont talk about annealing just yet... As we are talking semi auto, we assume you do a full case size, trim, prep case mouth, primer pocket etc and drop it in a case guage..and qc the entire piece of brass... especially the head for flatness an uniformity.... see if your rifle has rough extraction like a fal m1a/14 garand....they can deform the case head lip.... if that is not symmetrical, flat and uniform, it throughs off your headsapce. You know what that is right? You are responsible for every step of the process, negating one step as it may seem silly can be a recipe for disaster. I am still curious as to loading to max, i have been loading since 1994, i started with .32 acp of all things on a lyman spar t press...i have never ever loaded to max. I have a 1903A3, that loves and shoots lights out at 100, off hand with less than a start load. It just flat out likes it... when i get to M2ball characteristics groups open... Max loading is not necessarily better and this is not a gun game for power factor. Your fired brass will tell you more about your load than a chrono

The 39A depends on condition...wood sights bore bluing...octogon or round barrel profile There are many variations...300 400 depends Pics help a lot ..

....who cares...buy BCM rifle.... Colt is all hype... ....and cue the colt fan boys....

Why would you spend money to see such a low rate actor, who hates that you own guns btw, to help feed his pocket to restrict your rights? Another movie that need not be made - just like top gun 2

The OP mentioned carry.... for me i would never carry a double edged blade in nj... YMMV

What your not understanding is....interpretation. To @PK90 point, technically yes own carry... now you want to argue with barney fife as to why your carrying a dagger? He doesn't know the law, he might arrest you and then let the DA figure it out Now do you want to try to convince the sheep in NJ what your lawful purpose is for carrying a double edged fighting dagger ? My post should have had more info and judicious use of quote marks. I own one, well some, one i carry is the Gerber applegate folder SINGLE EDGE. In the woods and trails, kabar SINGLE EDGE Attempting to establish lawful use of a dedicated fighting knife, to those that are less than plugged in, is well silly. Yes this is life in nj

Yes I know ....once again NJ gray area... he should be looking for a single edge......he can have the pattern....he technically can have the knife... Would u want to try to explain to the sheep of nj what his 'lawful' purpose for his double edge serated fighting knife is? I carry a kabar while in the AT - the top edge is dulled...i would rather err on the side of caution OP here....https://knifeup.com/new-jersey-knife-laws/

@Maksim..... wow....dude really? I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Martin Luther King, Jr. Did he make a mistake, yup. Yet your frying him.... lets pray to God that you never leave a suppressor out, or some other cool toy heading into Jersey or other prohibited place. @Smokin .50.... ^^^^^ Preach

I am sorry if I am interpreting this wrong, but are you suggesting by this statement that I am somehow only supporting the knucklehead because he is an old white guy? If so you kinda in a round about way indicating I might be racist.... I could care less his race if he is exercising his Constitutional Right and having them infringed upon. We get it that the guy used poor judgement, but this can and could be a slap on the wrist and not what it is turning out to be. Any one of us could be next for some minor infraction....just sayin.

I am sure he is not - But stuff happens - and I am *NOT* out to make this a bash LEO thread, retired or active, not at all. I know many of both and they are gun guys through and through, as well as think our laws are bullshit. They know where the problems are and they are not the 99.9999% of "civilians" But to be so callous as to say frig him - the guy made a mistake in a victim less crime - that maybe could have been handled differently. I travel to VT all the time through NYS - 1/2 mile from my home all the way up to the Fairhaven VT entry - I travel with firearms, cased locked and in the trunk. But say I get stopped for a moving violation - and say there is a search and let's say some trooper or local town squadie wants to jam me up. Is it going to be " frig him too " This is how and why we lose - instead of rallying to the defense of others that have been jammed up needlessly, by the stupidity and quagmire of stupid laws state to state - we write *them* off as idiots and dolts...... shameful to say the least.

Maks, I get it man - I really do you know that - but why is it always about us gun owners? What I mean by that is, why do we always push he blame to the actor? yeah he effed up he kept shit in plain view... But isn't it just as bad that we accept this tyranny? Isn't it just as bad that where discretion might be able to be given it is not.....? We as gun owners are in for a world of hurt - *all* of us from the pistol guys, to the hunters, the shotgun sports guys, to the tacticool guys, idpa guys etc..... Make no mistake it matters not the type of gun - THEY WANT THEM ALL and will make examples of ALL OF US one way or another. Whether you are in PA NJ AZ CO SC....etc... This guys "stop" is one example how all of us will be treated in the coming years.

So easy to say as a retired leo and living in AZ... What if it was your father? Apples and oranges kiddo...no not kiddo, dipshit....

.....discretion.... screwing this guys life up and his families because of a friggin blinker. This state is beyond effed up and the Gestapo rules.... you think they won't go door to door? Ha ! Wake up.... some are itching for it.... hopefully tje good ones outnumber the thugs. What was his true crime that was hurting someone ????...this was the proverbial victimless crime Was he dealing meth?....damn nope...heroin mule??? Seems not... Oh wait he had a kilo of coke...! ..no.. He had a lil girl tied up in his backseat....?...nope... He murdered someone? ...nah... See, some of all the others above usually get some kinda break..... He was very evil....he had legal items..that are legal 5 miles west of his point of failure to signal......his crime is he came back into this God forsaken shithole state.....and left legal items from America on his seat....he is guilty of his own negligence. And you thinking its right to jam him and his family up over a victimless crime...speaks volumes to your elitist millenial attitude. You are nothing but an ignorant fool. 20mo and counting...never to be here again....

.....turkeys bears trout oh my....... Its a lot of country....not much else...and cops with no brains...yes sussex co is soooooo much safer now...

Yeah well i don't own the neighborhood of sorrow, but some really would like to get though a Sept without a reminder. The problem is...its all smoke and mirrors....no one really cares... If they did....CAIR would be gone....if they did..we would have mass deportation....if we did...some kids in PA would not be singing about decaitations...if we did Afghanistan would be glass today .....if we did..iraq would be glass today....and a lot of boys would grow to have been men. We don't care....you will see a crescent flag above tje white house in the next 20 to 30 yrs...

Well this is total busslhit and the officer is a fucking douche...he looked and wanted to jam the guy up...ruined someones life for what? Maybe he should have spent his time trying to get some heroin off the street.... Plus the actor is a dope...he lived in jersey and knew the law.... What a shit show.

We have accepted and continue to accept the dumbing down of society. We have accepted and continue to accept illiterates as sages We have accepted and continue to accept the lack of appreciation of the very freedoms we are granted for totalitarian extremes... Maybe this is a good first step back to NON-ACCEPTANCE !

Alyssa Milano Vs. Ted Cruz - holy hell is this going to be a shit show for her. *BUT* you have to understand the mentality of her 'followers' - they have no brains, none zero zilch. So in the end as @Displaced Texan has stated he *IS* this smartest guy in the room - a debate champion and a well versed and spoken person, however -

And why is that? I don't have the numbers, but i am guessing statistically the vast majority of gun owners are white males.... hence the demonization continues... Kinda reminds me of this from history, it repeats and we must learn from it...the MSM propaganda machine is hard at work...

So did you get s knew oprod spring? Did you do a full spring replacement? Do not fiddle with the gas hole in the barrel do not enlarge it... The gas cylinder should be cleaned and bone dry for use... The gas cylinder should also be gauged to be sure it is in spec. Also what enblocs are you using? Heavily parkerized enblocs can be an issue at times....but your first step, is a compmete tear down...clean and lube...then springs Also ensure you are using m2 ball ammo

Someone turned me onto this movie. ..... If you like to see milsurps in action and are interested in 50',60',70' merc action in africa..you might enjoy this... Spoiler alert...call out this silly scene..... lol... When you have a perfectly good No4Mk1 T..what were they thinking in this scene??

All smoke and mirrors - no better than a ponzi scheme............................ Eff NJ cannot wait to be out of here - and better yet - the kids dont want to be either.

So - do not bother me and do not ask me to donate money to you, if you do not like my commentary.

The NRA call center called me again today for a donation - I told them to dump Wayne - they hung up on me. Well then..........................

Its not markedly different than store and forward packet radio tech Gotennapro seems more robust.... but without a repeater or larger base ops it is limited... great idea though
