I guess I'm not one of the cool kids, then. But this mis-informed thief needed to be outed. If the OP (who I do not know) did not want the FFL's identity to be known, he should not have revealed it. Forcing a customer to throw a perfectly legal (and not inexpensive) part in the dumpster prior to completing a transfer is unforgivable. You don't like what the customer wants to transfer? Then refuse the transfer. It's his right as a business owner. But you don't rip off a customer and expect to get away with it. Not in this day and age of the internet and forums like this one. Just MHO for what it's worth.

Some serious snowflake drinks in here. How about fresh ground brewed coffee or fresh ground espresso. Foofy unicorn cappuccino snow white macchiatos are for Sanders supporters and those that don't know what to identify as

This is the best I've done 2.125" @ 600yds 5 shots, double on the 9/10 ring. Rotate pic 90* CW Oh Kudos to Sightron. enough elevation and no 20 MOA base. 243 Win 95gr SMK @ 3000fps

Important safety tip. DON'T SNOWBLOW INTO THE WIND That is all.

The FFL should know NJ's laws... especially for one as simple as this.

Reflectix type insulation will work better than aluminm foil if you want to go that far.

A few more things have shown up in the past week. I was fortunate enough to score a Gre-Tan truing jig in good shape for relatively short money. I also picked up a really nice Mitutoyo depth mic. Box is a bit rough, but the mic is in good shape and has anvils for 0"-4". I also grabbed 200 rounds of loaded Lapua 55gr ammo that was less expensive than buying unloaded brass. So, in short, I think I'm all set for the trip. It's coming quickly but to say I'm excited would be quite the understatement. The "last" thing that I really need is a threading insert for my toolpost but I'm going to hold off a bit and recover from the holidays. If anyone on here has experience with the AR Warner stuff your input would be appreciated. Thanks for following along.

Those Unicorn Frappes are cold. I only drink hot espresso drinks, and I am plenty man enough to admit to it. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

i didn't know where it came from.....but when i was being told that my enbloc clips could be loaded, but my magazines couldn't(during transportation) i started looking. i speant a rather unhealthy amount of time reading the statutes. what i gleaned from that time was 1) first and formost, ALL of nj's firearms laws/regulations/statutes are ILLEGAL. 2) they do not tell us what we CAN do, but rather they tell us what we CANNOT do(or possess when/where). there is not a single thing saying that we cannot load our mags before heading out to the range.

"White Chocolate Lattes?" Get a hold of yourself man! That's one step away from joining "Moms Demand Action."

Nowhere in the law does it state magazines can not be loaded. That is some BS overreach that Nappen came up with to make himself look like he knows more than he does and sell more books and tickets. I challenge anyone to show me where the law states loaded magazine 15 rounds or less with ammo other than hollow point or banned ammo types in a lockbox separate from the firearm is not allowed.

That’s genius. I thought I was doing well saving water by peeing in the shower. I’m stealing your plan.

You can find ways around this though. For instance I bath in the washer at laundry time. I tried showering in the dishwasher but kept getting stuck with forks.

I’ve been checking out videos and articles on 3 gun competitions. It looks like something I’d like to get into. Rules I’ve seen for some say you must have certain training certs, some I didn’t see any requirements. So what should I do or be looking for to start my journey? I have no formal training but have been shooting a while. I definitely want to take some classes, but don’t want to waste my time/money where I don’t have to. Thx,

This is all too technical, Peel. You just need a big stud to keep you warm.

I don’t think you are as familiar with the laws in N.J. as you think you are. Also - Internet secret: When you correct spelling and grammar during an internet discussion, you’ve lost most of your credibility. Because, see we all make mistakes and you end up with egg on your face. For example: • You should not start sentences with prepositions • You have a run on sentence. It should either be rewritten or you could use a semi-colon to fix it. • It should be badly, not bad • I think you meant you “don’t have THE right” • You missed a bunch of commas Just sayin’

Home Heating System – Steam Radiators For those of us in older homes, primarily pre-1940’s vintage, we have had to deal with various remodeling projects involving replacing/renovating windows, replacing roofs, adding wall/ceiling/roof insulation and upgrading plumbing, etc. This current snow storm with high winds, followed by the forecasted air temperatures dropping to around 0 deg. F. at the end of this week, is really exposing many weak links, flaws and other issues involved in keeping our homes comfortably warm. For our circa-1930 Tudor-style home we have done most of these projects over the years For our heating system, I have serviced annually the fuel oil burning Weil-McLain boiler that provides steam heat via a one-pipe system, that uses black iron pipes with compression fittings connecting to iron radiators throughout the house. One important aspect to ensure that this type of heating system works as designed is to check each of the steam air valves/vents on every radiator to ensure they are working properly. Due to this current and forecasted severe cold weather period, this past week I decided to check all of the steam air valve/vents on our radiators, which are Maid-O-Mist Jacobus Steam Vents. Sure enough, many of them were clogged. These often-ignored devices are an important aspect of ensuring that the heating system is working properly and efficiently. After about 4-5 winter heating seasons, some of these air vents become clogged and corroded with dirty/rusty sediment and no longer work as intended, causing the radiator to not heat effectively or spew steam constantly, reducing the system’s efficiency. Some of our vents were even much older than that… These air vents are supposed to hiss initially when the steam enters the pipes and radiators, pushing out the cooler ambient air. Once the steam has replaced the cooler air inside the radiator, an internal float in the vent will close trapping the steam inside. As the steam transfers its heat to the cast iron to “radiate” into the room, it cools and transforms back into water and the condensation flows back out the same pipe to the returns leading back to the boiler in a closed loop. For those of you who may have this type of heating system in your home, you should check to make sure they are working properly. A correctly sized and installed steam system will have radiators with vents of differing sizes so that the steam distribution is balanced throughout the system. Generally, you want larger vents (faster venting) on the distant radiators, as well as larger vents on the very large radiators (regardless of location). You want the all radiators to heat up at the same time, except you want the radiator in the room with the thermostat for the furnace to have a smaller vent opening so it will be a little bit slower so you don't satisfy the set temperature on that thermostat before the other rooms throughout the house are warm. An important lesson here is that the longer it takes the air to leave the radiator, the longer it takes for steam to fill it and the longer you burner will use fuel. There is a limit to how fast you can vent, especially on the larger radiators. Beyond a certain rate, too much steam will condense at a rate faster than can drain out of the radiator and it'll spit out the valve. Also, when we renovated our bathrooms, I replaced the iron radiators with a slimmer, more contemporary style of welded steel radiator that is manufactured by STEAMRADIATORS in Ward Hill, MA. (FYI, they are at www.steamradiators.com) They are a subsidiary of RUNTAL, which is a big European low-profile hot water radiator manufacturer. Those of you who have traveled in Europe have probably seen their radiators. They work fine and look really good, taking up much less space and are wall-mounted, as opposed to being floor-mounted. Good luck to everyone on dealing with this nasty cold spell….. AVB-AMG

Either 9-pellet #00 buckshot or 27-pellet #4 buckshot. Preferably the cheap-o brands like S&B, Fiocchi, etc. with no fancy cups or wads for a nice big spread. "To whom it may concern..."

Your* I'm guessing is the word you wanted. Urban dictionary didn't show flaweddi though However I said my thinking isn't the most popular and neither is knowing the laws for most people. I'm friends with cops, I'm very familiar with NJ laws and my plan is to "hopefully" not kill someone if I can just hurt them bad instead. But they are guns the reality is people die. Remember in NJ you don't have right to defend yourself legally.

Go mossberg and be like @Ray Ray... cough

That is how I felt... I mean I don’t see a problem, but why jam the OP up like that if he doesn’t have anyone else out there? I wasn’t a part of the transfer, and while I’m shocked a NJ FFL doesn’t have knowledge about stuff like that (Paul from NJ Arms has adjustable stock pumps, and shakes his head on why those are legal, but on a semi-auto, it isn’t), it isn’t my place to put that info out there. PM stands for PRIVATE message.

Decisions decisions.....I'm getting there. Likely a Remington 11-87. But I do like that Mossberg SPX Probably going with the Remmy semi-auto though. HOWEVER....Just got a new batch of permits, so no guarantee the next purchase will be a long gun at all. Plus I'm still struggling with idea that I'll be copying Family Zeke with the 11-87. Jus sayin

You may want to pull that wood off and insulate behind it. Also put weather strip on door before installing sill. Wood isn't the best insulator for air. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Njgf+Peel Power = muscle

But it still makes for a pretty lousy day even if you win down the road. btw: I agree I am overly cautious and it is a pain. When I go to a pistol match I have to load 6 mags at the start and unload them at the end.

We just picked up a Breville Barista 870 a few month back. Doesn’t make standard coffe but great espresso and lattes. Nothing like fresh ground beans.

No snow days here

I had the good fortune to be in Erie during this year's Christmas snow storm. 56.5 inches in a 48 hour period. We drove between the hotel and the inlaws a couple times without incident. It's amazing what happens when you have good tires, a brain, and drive with caution... you can actually get places even when there's a metric fuckton of snow on the ground. Hard pack is easy to drive on. I was commenting to someone locally about the icing. It's because they insisted on laying down an inch layer of salt. All that does is melt just enough snow to re-freeze on the road surface as ice, making it MORE dangerous than just snow alone.

Just so I don't have to retype my points:

May want to get a prescription for some reading glasses or better glasses. Maybe some ADD meds? I clearly stated it was a gift for the wife in the very first sentence. She looks very nice in skirts and without any hair on her chest. I also explained I like "regular" coffee (Chuck Full Of Nuts, Eight O'Clock Coffee, etc). Sometimes I flavor it with a wee bit of Jack Daniels. I hope that's masculine enough for ya.

x2 this guy doesn't know the law at all. Treat it as a learning experience - you'll run into many so-called "experts" who have no clue... on the bright side, this problem is easily fixed. mossberg 500 parts are everywhere! see: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311.R3.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xmossberg+500+.TRS0&_nkw=mossberg+500+stock&_sacat=0

What FFL? So, we know who not to use...

Ditto. Hey, I have a pump that holds 10 plus 1, I call it "Hollywood".

Call up that FFL, and get your stock back...

While his assistant was processing NICS, and other paperwork, he was inspecting the shotgun. Thought it was a pinned stock at first until he discovered it is adjustable. Kind of disappointed seeing my cousin as I had to dispose of the adjustable stock in front of him (he lives in VA and they don't have this kind of rule over there).

You are correct, pumps are not subject to assault shotgun limitations, semis are. They do need to have minimum 18" barrel and 26" overall .

Wait... so he gave you the gun with the stock and breaching barrel (unsure if it is a choke on the Mossbergs), and then said it is illegal? Yea, definitely a smart move. Sounds like the guys at gun shops that say hollow points are illegal, but they are sitting on the shelf at the store they work at. Adjustable stock is fine on a pump action shotgun. Breacher barrel is fine, as well.

Mine is even worse. It's the one Federov is a spokesman for made in Switzerland. Got it to drink my Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Flat White, and White Chocolate Lattes. Too hard to make them in a manual pot. I feel I have earned the right to drink girly drinks. I do at least get triple espresso though I like Ristretto more. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I bought a Jura E8 Super Automatic Machine. I like Hot Espresso Drinks. Some may call it girly but I like them none the less. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Fair enough.

If you are looking for training, shoot me a PM, a member of my 3-Gun team runs his own training company so he could provide really productive training. Aside from the 3 guns, caddies, belt, holster, mag carriers, and a pile of ammo ( I believe i burned 10k+ this season) you'll want to train with a shot timer. I would look at the Safariland ELS belt system. It allows total flexibility which when you are new is great. I would estimate half or more of 3-gunners use ELS. If you get to a 40 round shotgun stage and realize you're a quad load short of where you'd be comfortable, you can borrow a caddy from anyone else using ELS and pop it right on your belt super easy. Any other system you're up shits creek. If you're pistol goes down and someone is willing to share, same thing. Holster (QLS) pops right off/on. Same with magazine pouches. I can convert from one pistol and mags to another in 15 seconds blindfolded with someone elses gear no problem. For shotgun caddies, I'd start looking at Invictus for the best value. Plan to learn to quad load and buy accordingly, it's easier than loading a different way and then realizing you need to quad load and then having to learn to quad anyways. Especially since some caddies are specific. Shooting carts are nice to haul to 50 pounds of crap around at matches. Converted wagons or baby strollers are also popular. If you don't go this route you really need something like the Safariland or Voodoo 3-gun soft case with the backpack straps so that you can pack your 50 pounds of crap into that one bag and drag it stage to stage Ontelaunee 3-gun matches are beginner friendly and they have their dates posted for 2018, my team and I will be attending all of them if you want to squad with us just shoot me a PM. http://www.blindsquirrelsquad.com/index.php/ontelaunee-3gun/ If you want to bounce any other questions off me, fire away.

I have never had this issue either and I have a few LaRue mounts on my guns, for optics and lights. I have been using a LaRue 660 T1 mount since 2009. But I have heard this can happen from a number of very trustworthy sources - I count Shane as one of them. I suspect the moon has more to do with out of spec uppers and users that don’t RTFM. Under the heading of “It has and could again, so why risk it” that Shane so appropriately stated, I have switched over to ADM for any new mounts, but I don’t feel the need to swap out my LaRue mounts. Then again, I view the QD ability as an emergency feature. I do not routinely take the mounts on and off. I install the optic then leave it. The very few times I have taken the optic and mount off, were times I needed to either work on the gun or I was swapping the optic to another rifle.

not really a bomb... powder is inside cartridge.. round is in metal ammo can.. metal ammo can is inside metal chest.. the rounds will cook off.. but at different times.. the powder will burn.. but not explode.. and it will be a mess.. but not really a "bomb".. without a barrel to really build pressure.. nothing is really going to happen..

@GRIZ what was WW1 like?.....

Ha! Don't forget a 1911 in the other hand. It worked in WW1 to clear trenches, it's gotta be perfect for HD! [/sarcasm]

Do not use bird shot for HD. It leaves a nasty looking but shallow wound that isn't very effective in stopping a determined attacker. If you feel you and/or your family is in enough danger you need to fire a shotgun in defense of them, use something effective that will have a better chance of stopping the attacker and his aggressive actions towards you. Invest in some 00 or #1 buck designed for social purposes. There are lots of low recoil options that were designed for Law Enforcement that shine in this role. Look at Federal Flight Control and Hornady TAP specifically. They are both are low recoil rounds that maintain very tight groups at room/hallway distances - I'm talking cover all 8 pellets at 10 yards with the palm of your hand tight. These rounds were designed for FISHing and perform very well and the low recoil design makes them almost as mild as a 20g and still quite potent. Whatever you get, make sure you pattern it in YOUR shotgun at distances that are appropriate for your situation. With a shotgun it is imperative that you know what your shotgun does with your ammo at different distances.
