I hope other manufactures do the same. Springfield Armory® Severs Ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods Springfield Armory announces its decision in response to Dick’s Sporting Goods’ attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms GENESEO, IL, (05/03/18) – Springfield Armory is severing ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring a group for anti-Second Amendment lobbying. This latest action follows Dick’s Sporting Goods’ decision to remove and destroy all modern sporting rifles (MSR) from their inventory. In addition, they have denied Second Amendment rights to Americans under the age of 21. We at Springfield Armory believe that all law abiding American citizens of adult age are guaranteed this sacred right under our Constitution. It is clear where Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, stand on the Second Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the rights and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick’s Sporting Goods’ continued attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans.

I'm going to get the clays even cheaper when I buy them at their going out of business sale.

I used to like you, Ray Ray.....

I'm not a legal expert so you'd have to hire Nappen for the specifics. It wouldn't surprise me if the local PD can refer specfic cases or ask for advice on cases to NJSP that aren't explicitly spelled out. still crazy to me that an expensive psych specialist isn't more valuable in this case. So an Achilles repair specialist with MD after his name is g2g? Might be something weird with the wording of whatever procedure they follow. Could even be a misinterpretation by local PD of something that isn't clearly defined. These are all things you will need a legal expert to figure out. good luck and keep us posted. I'd be interested to hear once it's done.

Thank you! This may be the best thing ever posted!! The whole Han shot first thing always drove me nuts. Should be just “Han shot”. Makes him such a better character.

can the psych doc refer you to a MD that he gets referrals from? I think having the psych referral back to a MD that trusts him with his explanation might be enough to get the MD to meet with you and then sign off. He might even want to hold a few random appts/meetings to show he did his due diligence. Make all your random appts with this doc when you need to from now on. Being another one of those non-MD initialed healthcare doctors like your psych, I find it odd that NJ wants a random MD over the specialist that you saw. It's not that Sgt's fault as he obviously doesn't make the rules, but I can see why he though you were g2g. You wouldn't read a detailed report from neuro about a concussion then make an athlete get the sign off from some random PCP with MD initials. Weird situation.

So, a company that pulled a Bill Ruger, is "severing ties" with a company pulling an even BIGGER Bill Ruger, and one that as far as anyone can tell has never sold any of their products in latter's stores? No, S.A. doesn't get a tick back in their favor for this.

Tomorrow it will be Obi Juan Kenobi: and Juan Solo:

Agreed. Get the ball rolling. It has to start somewhere

Fair winds and following seas Marine.

Here’s where to thank them: [email protected]

Yep! I’m proud of them. Every and I mean every gun and ammo company should break ties with these stores and also, (I know this is grasping at straws with contracts), but the Govt too. Watch how fast this crap reverses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to hear, hope more companies do the same.

I now know where my 1st 1911 is coming from!

Gov. Gopher doesn't actually give a shite about NJ or its taxpaying citizenry. But he does need a platform from which to launch his 2020 Wee Woody Wilson Wanker Walk to 1600 PA Ave. That's the only reason he's here.

A psychologist can attest to your mental health. A medical doctor can attest to your physical health. It seems pretty simple to get a medical doctor to do a checkup and provide a copy of whatever standard form they use showing no medical diseases, BP, etc. I think you're being tricked. The first insurmountable hurdle was finding a psyc who would declare you harmless. After you overcame that hurdle, they throw another hurdle in the way. I think you need a lawyer to write a letter to force them to clearly explain what the requirements are for getting your permit so they can't continue to make up something new every time you comply with the last made up thing.

May the 4th be with you. Always.

Salt like my post post is salty? Or SALT ? i hope it works. I’m just trying to save people from thinking this is automatic. It’s not.

I just had a lengthy conversation with Scott Wagner's office, he is a Pennsylvania State Senator that is running for Governor of Pennsylvania, I am trying to get them to introduce legislation to remove the home state permit requirement for firearms permits in PA, I told them that I feel the current law is discrimination to out of state residents wishing to apply to PA's non-resident permit program and also a huge loss of income to PA. If they were to say get 100,000 out of state permit applications for say $100 a piece, that is roughly $10 million they are losing out on in state revenue. I explained some residents of states such as NJ, MD and others that border their state, either a resident is unable to obtain a permit in their home state, or some such as West Virginia residents are not required to have a permit in their home state. It was a lengthy conversation and I think it went very well, she is going to talk to the senator and possibly soon to be governor and his staff and see if they would be willing to do something. I recommend people reach out to legislative parties on the PA side and particularly ones that are 2nd amendment friendly, you can google them and find them out, but Scott Wagner is certainly one of them. There is another one out in western PA that I have been communication with as well. All we can do is to try and change the law, PLEASE HELP ME DO IT!!!

There is not enough ire in the consumer to put any dents in a big manufacturer. Hell, we can’t get our own state of affairs squared away. NJGF will not put anyone out of business. Lil dents and swipes mean nothing. But in the mean time, we need not bash who is on our side. You are right. Don’t buy their product if they piss you off. Nor would I buy any Sonic food because that dick commercial they keep jamming down our throats. Will it affect them? No... But it makes me happy. I will not stand and deter anyone from buying or siding with what and whom they want. Thats freedom... Take advantage while we still have it. Just don’t think our puny asses will topple a corporation. For now, they are a good ally. Piss in their ears later. We got bigger fish to fry.

meopta meostar R2 1-6x Not under $500. basically an a4 style reticle with a red dot in the middle.

^^^^Late to the Party but was gonna mention the same thing!

This sounds like the best idea. Get the referral from the psychologist that cleared you.

I thought juvenile records are sealed.

That's nice. Hope you aren't letting the purple go to waste. KY Blue, KY Purple

Springfield Armory now gets a pass? Still a long way from making amends to what they did to IL gun owners. Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms and SB-1657 Regards, TokenEntry

I still have a weird feeling they might try and bring Hillary around for a 2020 rematch. Frame the whole thing as a "do-over". It makes no sense. It doesn't have to, they're Democrats.

I wear my nerd badge proudly!

Doesn't really make a difference. We just need others to follow like Hornady also did. Some of the key players in the gun industry needs to jump on the band wagon. Imagine if Glock or some of the others started refusing Govt contracts. And before anyone says never happen, it doesn't need to happen. If even for a short spurt. Its a show of force that we are no longer going to back down and our wrath will follow if nobody conforms.

I think the instructions on the bag say 30 days. It's quite a bit of time. A lot of rain after application may reduce that, and if you are also putting down a thin layer of lawn soil on top of the thin spots before reseeding that will also help; it allows the seeds to germinate in untreated soil.

Sent my thank you note.

Just set the following: Subject: 2A Rights 6:45 AM To [email protected] To whom it may concern: I recently read an article which stated Springfield-Armory would be removing themselves as a vendor for gun sales to Dick's Sporting Goods and Field & Stream stores. I hope this article is accurate because I wish to thank you for your courage and participation in our struggle to maintain our gun rights. I hope your decision turns out to be one of a leadership role for other companies to do the same. Thank you again.

I can see us on the way to Massachusetts back in the Dukakis days, where the campaign signs read "Dukakis for President - get him the hell out of Massachusetts!"

Common sense guys. I know most people aren't hands on, that's fine. But anyone who has worked in the trades or just done enough DIY projects can tell you..Any pin, weld, block, etc. can be undone with the right tools. Don't. lol. Just leave it the way it is, you bought a 15/30 end of story.

I’m guessing a FFP 1-6 or 1-8 under $600 is what they are going to bring to market.

Your humblebragging failed. Move it past 50 yards. Your standard paper plate is either 8 or 10 inches. Lets call it 8. At 50 yards that 16MOA you can bounce around and actually stick to your statement. A good comp with some decent technique you can basically double tap a 50 yard target and keep it to about 4"-5" spread. At 300 yards, that 16MOA of bouncing around is a 50" plate. The largest target you'll get at that range in competition is 18"x30" cut it down to what you get with a decent comp and you are now looking at 30". That's the difference between a minor correction to POA vs a major one. And that's assuming that you are using you are just using good form to get that minute of paper plate performance at 50. If you are plugging in your brain and eyeballs to only pull the trigger when you pass over the target, you are cutting it down form what the platform will do. From me testing out my new 3 gun upper and a new trigger, offhand, one sight picture and rocking the trigger as fast as possible, I was putting three shots into the above 4.5" area running sub 0.2 second splits. I own guns without good comps, they do not permit the same. Also without a timer, your definition of "fast" may be lacking. I can run a prepped and coated ALG trigger faster than I can run a pot luck mil-spec trigger, and I can run GOOD triggers faster than the ALG. For competition this all adds up over the course of a match form negligible to meaningful quantities of time.

Kudos on a fair and balanced article. There’s always going to be errata (even we don’t get all the facts right amongst ourselves). I’m glad she hooked up with Rosie and Ant. People need to hold their fire the next time a reporter comes around trying to do research and asking in a humble manner. Some of y’all act like sexually frustrated guys at the bar who unload their neuroses on any girl that is willing to listen to them.

True, but if you're a beginner shooter the average distance you'll track then hit the bird at after you say "pull" ("hep" or "arrgh" if you're one of those guys) it can be double that distance. I'd vote MODIFIED. If you'e shooting doubles you're breaking the first of the pair as soon as you can to get aligned for the next clay. On singles and if a novice, double the distance from 16. (And YES, I'd pattern my load & choke to ensure an even pattern density at the proposed distance of the break.)

Its not about recoil its about neutral muzzle movement. And its only a facet of that equation. If you dont have good technique, it wont matter. If your not interested in putting rounds on target FAST in as close to shot 1 as possible, it wont matter for you.

I took a shotgun class with Chris last fall in New Paltz, NY. That's about the only weapon system we can train with him. I've sent him several notes, asking him to return to NJ, but he says that it's impossible for him to find places that will allow him to do training. I also suggested PA, perhaps EFGA, but so far no luck with that. I agree with you that Chris is a good guy, and an excellent instructor. I am fortunate that I have the financial means to train at GFH, as they are located close to me and they offer excellent instruction.

Well, the weather finally broke today..... and I decided to at least get GTO set-up to make next change.... This will be another chapter in upgrading brakes.... Car was originally a 4 wheel manual drum car..... that was quickly changed years ago to what was basically a 1970 Front Disc setup.... still no power assist. Result was not acceptable, but I drove it for a few years like that. What was wrong is that I used a 7/8" bore master cylinder which came recommended by most forums/threads/project threads to be the proper size. Well...... although a 7/8" master will put out plenty of pressure, it lacked pushing enough fluid volume for the big piston front disc brake calipers, result was a mushy pedal that in the end did not deliver enough braking force. After a few years of driving it that way.... and a few close calls. I made the decision and broke down and added a power booster for added stopping force. Now everywhere I read says that with Power Brakes.... go up to a 1 1/8" Master cylinder bore. Plenty of fluid flow and although gives less pressure, that will be made up by the booster. So that is what I installed ..... a 9" Booster and a Wilwood 1 1/8" Master. Result: Car stops VERY well now, but still wont lock brakes, so there is still more improvement to be had.Plus the pedal is very hard with very little movement. The other issue is, the Wilwood Master is a beautiful piece but is really not designed to work with a Power Booster since on a GM car the booster makes the whole setup angle upward. With the design of the Wilwood master, you cannot fill up the reservoirs past halfway. After speaking to a Wilwood rep, he agrees, their masters are better suited for manual brakes where the installation is horizontal. But I drove it this way for a few years keeping an eye on the fluid level. But now its time to give me a little piece of mind and replace the Wilwood master with a normal GM/Delco master that I can fill up properly. I am also going to go down from the 1 1/8" to a 1" bore master. This should give more pressure then the 1 1/8" master but still give me enough flow to work with the GM Disc caliper setup. This should also soften the pedal up a little to allow for more modulation under spirited driving.... So this afternoon I setup car on my lift and got her ready for surgery tomorrow....
