    If you can't push the hammer and trigger pins in with your finger tips, something is wrong.

    It wasn't the hammer and trigger pins he was having a problem with:

    We are figgin' POUNDING on the trigger guard roll pin and it just doesn't want to go in.  Same thing with bolt catch release.

    Those are more difficult than the trigger pins.

    With the Anderson lower I did recently, I used either a pair of vice grips or channel locks with the jaws taped to prevent scratches to squeeze/press those two pins in. Didn't need heat, cold or lube. Don't remember it being an issue,

    Now she knows I own more guns than before we were married.  That's all she need to know.  I don't get all up in her grill when she brings home shoe boxes. 

    Ha..

    That's usually the only time I catch some heat, when she goes to put her new pairs of shoes into the closet, and there's a new case of ammo in the place she was going to put the shoes.

    And folks jazz me for still using an old LG flip phone. 

    ...." Just like smartphones, communications on a flip or feature phone are just as vulnerable to intercept as they are on a smartphone. In fact, maybe even more so because you can’t put your own encryption on a flip or feature phone and many flip phones have only rudimentary scrambling that can easily be turned off by any hacker.

    But flip phones are certainly not “safer” than smartphones.

    For example, flip phones have GPS chips and your location can be tracked on a flip just as well as you can be tracked on a smartphone.

    And SMS, email and pictures can be easily intercepted by government organizations as well as by hackers."

    Update 11: Now the Democrats are trying to do a "Kavanaugh" on him:

    ....." Attacks on my family-

    Just want to let you guys know everything is ok with us. After Jimmy Kimmel and Alyssa Milano came after me personally it triggered an outpouring of attacks. People have been calling for the death of my wife and children; it will not be tolerated. Please do your best to report anything you see like this to the proper authorities.

    Is this stock considered a pistol grip?

    I read somewhere where they consider a thumbhole stock the same as a pistol grip. I need to go search and see if maybe it was on the "on deck" bill.

    I'm just curious if anyone else has had any problems assembling an Anderson lower recently.

    I did one a few months ago with a PSA lower build kit, no problem. I just replaced the PSA trigger with a LaRue, didn't have any issues either.

    Do you have a small C clamp (or vice grips) that you can use to press in the pins?

    Apple sells your info, and so does Google...

    Now you know why Google gives everyone Gmail for FREE. Tons of FREE data  to harvest.

    It's because YOU'RE the product being sold.

    Why anyone uses Gmail (or Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, etc.), is WAY beyond me.

    Ok I have read the rules for nj.  I cannot have 2 of the listed accessories or it is considered an assault rifle.  My question is this.   Don't all AR's have apistol grip already?   And if that's the case I cannot have anything else listed or it is non-compliance?

    You might want to tread carefully if it's a new purchase. There is current a Bill sitting in the bullpen in Trenton that reduces it to ONE evil feature. They're just waiting for the right tragedy to bring it to the mound. Get something that can be easily modified, if necessary.

    So seems like Facebook gave more than 150 companies access to your private messages.

    In all honesty, if someone has the Facebook app on their phone, they already gave willingly ALL their privacy and EVERYTHING they do on that phone to Zuckerfuck. Nobody reads the Permissions they give apps on their phone.

    EVERYTHING!

    All their texts, all their contacts, all the web sites they visit, all your email, all their App data, all their log-ins to banks, credit cards, all their phone call data, all their location data, access to pictures, access to SIM cards and every other thing they touch or swipe.

    And that's before all the voluntary info, pictures, data, comments they directly post on Facebook.

    The NSA really appreciates all the FREE data everyone sends them. :hang:

    God forbid something ever happens to me, they have instructions to keep certain guns for my son, to pick one out for themselves, and to sell the rest for HH6 so she doesn’t have to worry about it.

    Back on the point Mrs. Peel made about having a plan. I was thinking, this can present an obstacle with the new laws in the state.

    In the past, if something happened, wifey could transfer your collection to your best shooting buddy with a simple COE. Now, with the new law, it has to be done by a FFL and a background check. This is something everyone needs to think about and plan for.

    Also, the new Red Flag law in the state. If something happens where the gun owner has a temporary "mental breakdown" or serious argument, they can open themselves up to a "visit" by LEO regarding the Red Flag law. Everyone should consider "Plan B" if they think that might happen to you.

    Also, for the guys who don't share with their wives their collection, do you have alternative plans in case something happens to you short of dying, like a major disability, getting hurt at work, and can't use/access your collection. Is there someone available (like a family member) who can step in?

    I marvel when I hear similar comments about money in marriage. When I hear them I can't help but think it's a symbol of some underlying discord.

    Of course I don't believe anyone really knows what's going on inside a marriage except the two principals. Outside perceptions or analysis are not always useful.

    That's a good point. My firearms is probably the only thing that is secret to here, primarily because she doesn't want to know. We have one primary bank account, share all other financial access, all legal documents, and everything else. If she came directly to me and asked to see my collection, I would readily show her, but that would probably never happen.

    But hear is the thing, on those rare occasions that she goes into the safe to get her jewelry. Do you think she notices that there is an extra gun or 2? whether there are 10 or 11 guns, 15 or 16 guns, etc.? 

    I prevented that from going on here. I installed a separate safe for her jewelry, this way she doesn't have to go near or in my safes.

    So, I'm not saying this to needle anyone (hence, no names!) - nor do I even want replies - but I just wanted to pose this question: have you really thought that through? A lot of you seem to pride yourselves on being good providers/protectors, etc... so, what happens to your spouse when you've keep her in the dark about your firearms (assets) and you're suddenly killed in a car crash? (Hey, it happens). Aside from obvious issues of providing life insurance, etc., if you have ANYTHING of decent value:

    OK, I'll be the first to bite, since I fit your description.

    In my house, my wife has specifically said she doesn't like my hobby and wants no part of it. BUT, she respects the fact that I'm entitled to my hobbies, and she respects and allows me to do what I want with it. So, it doesn't provide any value to share with her what's in my collection. With her, she prefers "out of sight, out of mind".

    I know the thought of croaking before your time is an unpleasant topic, (btw, Merry Christmas, guys! ;)), but adults deal with unpleasant topics... they don't hide from them. I've been through the grieving process a few times now in my life... it can be overwhelming. If you haven't provided sound, usable information, you're adding to your (newly grieving) wife's pain by leaving her uninformed and vulnerable to being ripped off at the very time she can least likely afford it.

    This is a great point, and everyone needs a plan. So, here's what I've done to eliminate all the concerns you mentioned.

    First, I had both of my sons get their FID cards.

    Second, I went back and made specific directions in my Will on what happens to my collection. Wifey knows if I go out in a car wreck tomorrow, she doesn't even have to be concerned with dealing with or getting rid of my firearms. That responsibility immediately passes to my sons.

    I see comments like: I sneak the new guns into the house when she's not there. Can you believe she had the nerve to ask how many guns I own? etc. etc. I'm not always sure how to take it... is that just guy humor?

    I'll touch on that too. Some woman can really have some bad tempers and can get really emotional. I'm not sure I would want to give my wife access to my firearms if she had those type of issues. Sometimes it's better to not let her know. So, it could be humor, or it could be self-preservation... you can take it both ways.

    As these Shoots grow & more Newbies get invited (especially those relatively NEW to shooting itself), it MAY be time to consider establishing BOTH a Meeter-Greeter w/ name badges & a sharpie IN ADDITION TO a dedicated RSO to watch the common firing line.  Said job assignments can be shared by competent personnel in attendance (even those w/o official credentials).  Not having someone constantly watching is an open opportunity for trouble especially since our group doesn't use the wooden shooting cages.

    That was something I was wondering about. Between newbies and unknown guests, and all the activity, do you really feel safe with all that "hardware" easily available to anyone? A newbie signing on here today with a anonymous screen name, and showing up next week at one of these shootouts with a shotgun could be a cause for concern, if there's not a structure to control activity.

    It would really ruin your day to have a "Dick Cheney" moment.

    While I have not purchased from the DE store, have from Maine.  No issues.  I would think the DE store being nearly across the border would be even more knowledgeable about it and know to ask for FID.

    Will they sell a long gun with a "evil" feature (ie: telescoping stock that you'll have to pin) to you, or do they strictly follow NJ laws?

    My issue...My wife wants to get one of these.  She will only get a Honda, wants an SUV, the HRV is too small, the pilot is too big so that leaves the CRV. 

    How about a Ridgeline? It's a SUV on the inside, but has a bed and a trunk for carrying stuff. Back seat folds up to carry big stuff inside.

    I have a Ridgeline with 60K miles, 3.5L motor. Best, reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I was a Dodge guy before this, won't go back.

    Did you see how many people contributed to it and the amount so far?  Can they be arrested for promoting criminal activity?

    I think he is well-meaning, but is also being very naive and simplistic in achieving his goal, even if it does turn out to just be a momentary publicity stunt.

    @AVB-AMG, since you think this cause is just a publicity stunt, here is another one (stunt) that I'm sure you can get behind. How much you going to donate?

    Ladders to Get Over Trump's Wall

    ...."We saw some folks are raising money for a border wall to keep out our migrant siblings and fellow human beings, who are fleeing violence and persecution and whose tragically-underpaid labor is essential to the U.S. economy. Seems like a bad idea on countless levels for everyone involved.  Maybe we should focus on human rights and creating a community that reflects our supposed values. 

    And even though at a rate of $1.7 million daily, it would take their fund about 35 years to raise the $21.7 billion that Trump's own Dept. of Homeland Security says would be needed  to build said wall, we wanna make sure ladders are ready to send over to our undocumented friends and help them."
