If you want to get sll sciency about it, this isn’t necessarily the case. Smoking a cigarette temporarily paralyzes the mucociliary escalator responsibly for sweeping the lungs clean. If you smoke enough, you bascially shut it down 24 hours a day and the inflammatory toxic crap all just sits there. Lung parenchymal tissue is also not very regenerative. If you inflame it, you provoke enzymes like trypsin to chew up the tissue. This destroys the architecture of the lungs and causes emphysema. Inflammation can also lead to fibrosis, which is just as bad. The worst effect of smoking isn’t even on your lungs - it’s on your cardiovascular system. The majority of smokers will not get lung cancer, but they will die of heart attack and stroke.

That reminds me; I quit 30 years ago this year. Phew! What a mess.

<takes a cigarette break half way through the video. Jk I don't smoke or drink. Cocaine, on the other hand, is a hell of a drug.

Cleaned up ad 1) Earlier, sought after, Larue OBR in 308 with added options. Xtran model from when Larue was using the Lothar Walther barrel. Has the switch block upgrade, stock upgrade to PRS, grip upgrade and Surefire brake upgrade from factory. I have shot into the .3's with this rifle. Extremely accurate. Shoots amazingly well. Fit and finish are excellent. This rifle was closing in on 4k new. Optics, Bipod, Mounts not included. Round count is under 300. $2800 Offers considered. Please shoot me a msg if interested.

Because ARs were not meant to be fired with the eject port facing the sky! Looking at the picture of the dude's face, I wonder who put a hurt on this guy - the attackers or the popo?

Damn, @Handyman! That post was like a science throw-down... and a complete departure from the usual biting sarcasm we've come to know and love. What prompted this? New Year's resolution?

See, look at that... AVB has more words in ONE post than Zeke has in 10,000. Who said it wasn't possible?

I heard third party that 3 noncompliant mags have been surrendered to Andover PD (not sure if PD or trooper barracks) Oh BTW I've shot my first two deer with a suppressed rifle. Supersonic ammo but it does take the blast out.

I haven't had a cigarette in about 9 years and I still want one

@ZekeCongrats. I'm pretty sure that if I combined all the posts I have made on every forum I have belonged to, I might have a grand total of 10k, even as someone who only a few days ago reached the 1k mark here. I mean, they mostly contain more than one word, but still... There is a reason I graciously made you your own special avatar, even if you don't bother using it... Now, I am a member of a forum where someone apparently has 1,010,135 posts as of writing this. Which equates to ~238 posts a day, every day, for about 12 years. I say this NOT AS A CHALLENGE, just as a warning for the rest of us that it could be much, much worse.

Steve, It is however 100% sales income with 100% profit margins. You take your overhead anyway, whether you have sales or not. Yes, it does take time and you can take that into account... however your "electricity, rent, internet, telephone, insurance" are fixed expenses that will be there whether you make sales or not. Revenue - Cost of Goods sold = Gross Profit Gross Profit - Expenses = net income Transfers go straight into Gross Profit... there is no cost of goods sold associated with them. That is what he meant and most people mean. But you are smart and know this... you are just being a stickler. Keep in mind, EVERY customer that visits @remixer shop leaves HAPPY.... That ENDING result costs money. =P

I've never grown tired of shooting .22 and its the most common caliber in my collection. I've been shooting for 27 years and I dont think I'll ever get tired of .22s Just my 2 cents

I am thinking if I delete all of Zeke's posts that are under 3 words...... I could eliminate about 7000 posts.....

Well, seems perfections has a new name. It's called, Mossberg.

I think a brain would have served him better than range time.

That last part I've italicized is known in MSM-Land as a "Glock" :-D

Trump has Fauxcahontas' campaign slogan:

As long my as I am not forced to re breathe other people's smoke, or vape residue, or pay to their medical bills, I am okay with anything anyone wants to do.

THERE you are... welcome back!!!!

@voyager9 At this point, I figured why lie about it. I was guilty of forgetting to turn them off before entering VA. The stupid irony was that I was not speeding, something that I told the Trooper. BTW, the Trooper does not have to be all that smart to look closely at the front grill of the car to eventually spot the location of each recessed laser jammer. Unlike remote radar detectors, (that I had in my previous AMG), that can be mounted behind the car's front grill, in order to be fully effective the laser jammers must not have any obstructions in front of them. The further recessed they are the narrower their "cone" of jamming the laser becomes.... AVB-AMG

Agreed and they will call them the "XB" Model. Which will be touted as a "must have", "what everyone's been asking for" LOL! Like I said before, their marketing scheme is truly genius.

yes, I would love to have a grow facility or retail etc the possibilities are endless, before you go there, no I dont do that, Im already a chill guy, when I tried when i was younger it just makes me want to sleep. I remember in this state when they pretended , I mean put applications out for dispensaries years ago, for a small application fee of 20k. I would be a strong guess they were already picked ahead of time. No I dont advocate illegal drug use but lets face it it does have medicinal qualities that wont kill you like the pharmaceuticals will. but getting back to the stocks, yes they are a good buy on the dip.

Not sure what it was, but one thing is clear, this guy needs more range time. According to police, Morales says he was assaulted then began firing while fleeing the scene. Bullet holes were discovered on the sides of three houses and a vehicle. No one was reported hurt. https://6abc.com/police-man-gets-into-fight-fires-ar-15-while-fleeing/5004770/ So, he shoots 3 houses and a car, but doesn't hit his intended target? Is he a NYPD LEO?

Says #2

Glock is advertising/marketing the 43x and 48 as their "Silver Slimline" series. I hope that doesn't mean we will never see a "Black Slimline" series.

Yep... the "makers" will finally get fed up with Murphy and crew, and will leave. The ones that remain will be the "takers", who don't carry their weight and contribute. The weight of carrying these "takers" will force Murphy to jack up taxes on the remaining "makers" to obscene levels to pay the bills.... It won't be pretty.

Agree. I used to say the same thing about Vegas... after all we shot USPSA nationals in 100* + Then one time was in vegas when it hit 116.... oh f that. lol. I still think there are plenty of yuppies moving to NJ from NYC and are happy to pay more.Keep in mind, to New Yorkers... Fair Lawn, Hoboken, etc are CHEAP!

Hmmmm, I don't know, maybe when a lost puppy gets returned to it's owner???? Ha...

Oh I will. @Zeke you know my tastes in firearms are varied.

Hera Arms linear comp. I have a couple and like them lots. German engineering. https://www.hera-usa.com/kopie-von-h1?lightbox=dataItem-ivf5sbyk

Maybe he doesn’t want to compete or be a Master. Maybe he just wants to shoot stuff. Scar20 FTW!

The LW timber wolf frames I’ve seen are hit or miss. Get a factory glock frame for less money and no issues. They have 19x frames now too https://www.bigtexoutdoors.com/product/glock-oem-frames-stripped-complete-g17-g19/

I disagree. I’ve competed and coached at a pretty high level for a few decades—in a bunch of disciplines—and starting from scratch with centerfire rifles and pistols is never recommended if you want to be competitive. You won’t learn follow through correctly, it’s much harder to call your shots, and the increased recoil can mask a host of errors of in the shooter’s technique. And I don’t even know where to start with the whole ‘muscle the hell out of it...and you can still shoot well’ comment in regards to .22s There is a reason competitive shooters spend endless hours dry firing. The absence of recoil makes it easy to spot and correct errors in technique. If you just want to blast away and have fun, fine. I enjoy blasting away, too. But that’s not the path to mastery.

Yup. I dont think there are truly that many independent users who can actually see and participate in the marketplace or auctions. nice.. that problem you encountered can happen with auctions as well.... scum bags are everywhere. That being said... the market place should be open for all to see but only members should have access to reply.

Or unless you want to learn to shoot really well. The only thing that will teach you the fundamentals better than a .22 is a precision air rifle or pisltol. The “glorified BB gun” you mentioned. Handling recoil isn’t a fundamental, it’s a distraction, best addressed only after you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals

Pix or it didn't happen.................

That is a big thing... I got lucky that I got the job offer first. I made my original post because I was actually on my way back from there. Maine is just an awesome state. I went up Saturday, stayed in Bangor, and drove up to Houlton the last two days (Sunday and Monday). Up to Bangor, you got a lot of Democrat/Liberal leanings, and more population (not NJ population density, but people are there). Going north of Bangor, that is where it is truely beautiful. There is a mountain off to the west of I-95 (Mount Katahdin) that is actually unreal to look at. Can look off and just see trees for as far as the eye can see. 75 mile an hour speed limit on I-95, and you haul ass up there... about an hour and a half drive. Absolutely no traffic. You’ll pass a car every so often, maybe a tractor trailer, but watching out for wildlife is more pressing than some moron texting down the highway. Saw two moose calves, and some nice sized deer. There can be traffic down by Portland and Bangor, but it takes crossing into Massachusetts for me to start getting pissed at other drivers. Maine, most of the drivers drive like me... pass someone, move over. When I got up there, I drove around to better familiarize myself with Houlton. It definitely isn’t Howell, but just a lot nicer group of people. Go to a restaurant or a Dunkin’ Donuts, and people actually are happy to interact with you. Here, maybe I just get people having bad days... but if most could just throw the drink at you, I’m sure they would. Plus, you can buy guns and booze at Walmart. I’m not a big drinker, but hey... America! Constitutional Carry is nice, as well. I was debating about buying an A5 for $350 at Cabela’s (have $175 in gift cards), but didn’t want to deal with a shotgun laying in my trunk the entire trip (if you go up there, have some good stuff but mostly overpriced; had a rack of Swiss rifles and Mosin Nagants). Would have been a nice one to make a Clyde reproduction, but I’ll consider that again later on. The real estate isn’t that bad. I saw a house on a few acres, definitely an $750,000+ property in NJ, for $350,000. Heard that it has been sitting for some time, being it is priced way too high. See others in the $250,000 range that are likely $500,000ish in NJ, which I’m sort of looking towards. But there are sub-$100,000 properties up there... decent land, ok house, which with 20% down, I’m looking at mortgage/taxes/insurance under $750 a month. Yes, not considering other utilities... but you can’t touch that in NJ. Slightly outside of Houlton, save a little more than within... but neither are in NJ realm. L/E wise, you have all levels in Houlton. Local PD, Sheriff, State Police Barracks, and then CBP/BP Stations. People I talked to up there, which was limited in the two days I was up there, don’t really worry about crime. I’m not one to leave doors open, nor not have a security system installed, but it made my girlfriend more comfortable with thinking about moving up there (has a 6 year old daughter). I’m still a little unsure about that aspect, but I got a few months to see where it goes. That being said, I know which house I would buy if it was just me going up, and could easily afford it by myself. Biggest thing... snow. My two weeks prior to FLETC is in April, so should be somewhat safe for a front-wheel drive car... but was told either all-wheel or four-wheel drive. Will be squared away by September, when I go up permanently. We left like 4:00PM yesterday, which it does start getting darker earlier than NJ, and they had a good amount of snow coming. Bangor had a dusting on vehicles, but by the time I got on the road (9:00AMish), I-95 was clear. If you do go up there... be aware of concrete dividers (like triangular curb patches) at almost all entrances/exits. I don’t know why, but I almost went the wrong way through a half dozen of them. Think it has to do with such wide “lanes,” which NJ would mean two-way traffic. Work wise, I actually got lucky from talking with people up there. Still a little short staffed, but not as bad as it was last year... so overtime is out there (not to mention 25% bonus for three years just going out there). Not a super busy Station, so I’ll be able to learn all of the different roles... which is better than doing one thing at a busier Station. Supposedly, people from that area are more sought after due to that... which I like options. Plus, if I get bored, I can do a short time (think they said 90ish days) at a busier Station. Maine might have some questionable future with Democrats getting in, but going to take a lot of work to role back a lot of their rights... and at a certain point, do Democrats really want to piss off that much of the population to turn it over within an election cycle or two (less likely if Trump appoints another Justice)? My girlfriend wanted to drive by Stephen King’s house, and her daughter asked about a sign in a local bookstore, which said to vote for Pennywise... obviously the 6 year old didn’t know about it, but explained it to my girlfriend. King might be a hell of a writer, but I completely disagree with his political views. Not trying to swing people to move to Maine, because if you don’t have a job lined up, it doesn’t seem easy to find one. But if one comes along, I wouldn’t hesitate to go up there. I actually can’t wait to go up again. Was joking with my girlfriend, but the first day I was up at Houlton, came back to the hotel in Bangor, and told her that was home. She laughed over it, but I really do feel like that.

I grew up there (Seattle suburbs) and there is a big difference between Seattle metro area and the suburbs and rural. Especially if you live East if the Cascade mountains. Completely different state. Until fairly recently I thought there was stronger 2A support, but recent laws and ballot initiatives have changed that. Still better than NJ, pretty sure you can still CCW with no major issues, but things are getting worse.

Would be good if liberals from NJ would move 50 miles East too.

I gladly do transfers for $20. No money to put out and all profit. It gets people in the door for the stuff that makes me money, ie ammo and accessories. Besides, guns are only marked up at most 10%, where you can make 100% on a hot accessory.

Here's a few of mine.......

Thirding the Dewalt. Loving the 20v one I have. It's a 1/4" not a 1/2"..... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KZNDYT0/ref=ppx_od_b_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 But they do make a 1/2" one. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCF894P2-Mid-Range-Cordless-Impact/dp/B00ZZSR72G

Let's face the facts. If it were not for this forum, I for one would not even know about the new 10 round limit! I visit gun shops and my range and I don't see any signs anywhere about a ten round limit. I have not heard anything in the media about it except for links to such found here at NJGF. I would bet that about 10% of affected PRNJ gun owners, (Those who own 10+ round mags), know about the law. The other 90% are Felons and don't even know it! Of the people here, Some shipped them to a free state, some converted them, Some got a couple 10s for the range and sandbagged the 15s while others will rightfully not comply at all. Not one mention here of giving their mags to their local PD. If any PD did get any, they would take them home and not report or keep track of them, just like ammo that people find and turn in, LEOs keep it for burn ammo at the range. I seriously doubt anyone here will ever get burned by this stupid law. It will be one of the 90% who never knew about the limit that gets busted!

I have the Blue Force Gear Vickers sling. Works well for me during 3-gun/multi-gun matches. This is the VCAS sling.

$35 is correct (as of today). Good guy, stop in and talk to him. His shop is fairly new, but he’s the kind of guy you want to see to become successful (good gun guy, fair, not out to make a killing).

" But in an act of mass defiance, New Jersey residents refuse to comply." Should say: But in an act of patriotism , New Jersey residents follow the United States Constitution.

You claim none of us will receive an 18 month jail sentence for possessing a 15 round mag yet that is precisely the purpose of the legislation. Murphy and his fellow totalitarians in the NJ legislature and judiciary want nothing less than eradication of legal gun ownership in this state. If that means throwing every gun owner in jail for spurious, unconstitutional crimes then so be it. It is settled law in NJ that "When dealing with guns, the citizen acts at his peril". So yeah, perhaps some of us would get off with a fine and no jail time (and loss of the right to ever own a firearm again), but there's no guarantee and that's precisely the point. For someone whose dealings with law enforcement never extended beyond a speeding ticket, the prospect of a felony prosecution, possible jail time, and the loss of their constitutional rights - not to mention the potential deleterious effect on their future employment prospects - is a massive incentive to get on the first train out of here. You categorize as imbeciles those who believe the intent of this legislation is to "nail unsuspecting gun owners". Given the public record of NJ courts and the legislature, it's the imbecile who believes otherwise.

WTF is the world coming to with AR's for $399 and AKs for $1k. Too bad it was the AK regulated into a $1k price. What was the quality on the Red Jacket AK's? Before all of their legal issues.
