Which one of you mouth-breathing Neanderthals corrupted my son? I opened my refrigerator earlier to find this abomination: Little bastard knows how to push my buttons!

X + 1 elsewhere, X + 3 for handguns in NJ, where we get our permits in batches to minimize the headaches caused by the unreasonable permitting process

Why are you guys taking your guns completely apart? Are they broken? Do you tear down the engine and transmission on your car every 20,000 miles to detect abnormal wear and cleaning. Those are the most common reasons people give for a complete takedown. My G26 is over 20 years old and has at least 30k rounds through it. It's never broken and the last time it apart was when Glock put it together. Never taken down past barrel, frame, recoil spring and guide, and slide. I have full confidence in the gun and carry it on a regular basis. Guns are not designed to be taken apart on a regular basis. Doing so will result in widened pin holes, overstressed parts, and breaking parts even if you know what you're doing and have the correct tools. I have other guns I've had for over 40 years and have never taken them totally apart. If you go over all the "my gun broke" threads you will find maybe 90% of them are during a complete teardown for no reason. The other possibility is it was some aftermarket part like 1/2 ounce trigger or moon metal firing pin that was designed by some guy in his basement in Iowa. Yes I know there are quality aftermarket parts out there but I think the engineers at the factory have a better idea of what should work in their gun. I used to oversee several hundred Glocks (17s, 19s, and 26s). I've personally witnessed exactly 1 part break, a recoil spring guide. That was because the guy was putting the gun back together the wrong way. Yes there were magazine issues too mostly from the mags being stepped on. One of the few reasons I can see for taking a gun totally apart is a milsurp that was packed in grease for the past 60 or 70 years. I've said all of this before and I'll probably say it again.

Just the tranny is toast (for now). I purchased an 04 GTP Comp G Edition with 78,600 miles for $3400 on Saturday. Drove to Bristol, CT to purchase it.. Prob around $3800 with tax, title and license. Interior is like new. Exterior is in very good condition. Carfax was very good. Considering I was quoted $3400 for just a transmission this seemed like a (some what) logical decision. Had a transmission specialist (Wholesale Transmission in Fords) get back back to me. $1700 plus tax for rebuilt tranny with 2 year/ 24k guarantee. Depending on outcome when our taxes are completed we may have it rebuilt. My 16 year old will be driving soon and she can use the base model to get too / from school and I can use as winter car ( I take mass transit for work so don't need for work). GTP will be seasonal car. Base model can be the beater / winter car. I'll contact some of the other transmission specialist recommended to get quotes from them as well.

NJ is also filled with rude people.

Fuck this shithole of a sanctuary state. Fuck it right in its libtard paradise, overtaxed, nanny state asshole. 8 years max is what I have left in this piss-bag-fucktard state. Mrs. Hungry and I are fleeing as soon as she gets her 25yrs in. NJ sux, most of the people in it suck, and life sucks because of it. Also winter sucks. Cannot wait to get the hell out of here. Fuck you New Jersey.

The following quote from the slate article Peel linked provides some clues why Heller stopped short of recognizing the right to bear arms outside the house.

I launched one in 2010...still haven't found it!

Of course they are, that always do. If all the predictions came true, we all should have died in the past two years.

Lol! It’s funny, because it’s true!

I've got pork roll in the fridge and I'm having breakfast for dinner!!!!! Taylor Ham....heathen fks!!!! lol

Bet you it was @Zeke. You already know how he can rally people to push your buttons.

the same press that rallied around the guy that got pts from his 1 outing with an AR....lol

True, the intention is that NYC law... BUT it does have implications, which to us as gun people should be great news.

One tool and a bent paper clip being used as the second tool.

+1000 on this. Field stripping a Glock consists of taking off the slide and then removing recoil spring and barrel, that's it.

Glocks are easier to completely disassemble. M&Ps have more parts, use roll pins and require removal of the rear sight for access to the safety plunger/spring. They are both equal when it comes to general field stripping for cleaning.

One of the first guns that reallly got me into becoming a gun owner was when I saw Die Hard as a kid. Seeing John McClane use that beautiful Beretta 92 really caught my eye. Later on I knew I wanted to get one someday. I did end up getting one without even testing it first and to this day it’s one of my favorite pistols to shoot. And I think it’s one of the best looking ones out there.

long as they're rebuilding it, that's a fantastic price. it's a lotta work. if i remember correctly, you've gotta drop the entire engine cradle outta the car to get the tranny out.

Fake news

That’s a nice area-I’ve hiked that section of the AT. Still not mountains, though. NJ’s High Point is one of the lowest ‘high points’ of any state in the US.

I guess you like Grand Prixs? Looks like you found a nice one! Good luck with both

Well yes...and no. Recoil in a firearm is determined by the total ejected mass (bullet and powder) with a factor thrown in for velocity. Not just the gases. You can use a muzzle break to mitigate this recoil to some degree. Recoil in a spring powered air gun is different as you get a foreward recoil from the release of the spring and a rearward recoil (as with a conventional firearm) from the total ejected mass. The pellet in this case. I have heard of scopes rated for spring powered guns. I have an inexpensive spring gun that gives an honest 1000 fps. This probably is enough to take out a squirrel although I haven't tried it. I have an inexpensive 22 rf scope mounted on my inexpensive spring gun that has worked fine for the several.hundred rounds I have put through the gun. I would guess one would need a scope designed to deal with the forward recoil in a more powerful spring gun. Just my experience.

The only dimension differing between the 48 and 19 is the 48 is 1/4" smaller in overall width. That makes no difference in carrying concealed. The G26 is the same height and a big wider and longer than a Nano but holds 66% more rounds than a Nano. I don't see any big benefit as far as concealability.

Yes, I feel your pain. it's almost reason enough, but nah.

This. I do like the Two tone especially after Bad Boys 2 lol. Yep This exactly. That's why I got a Beretta Nano over a LCP and anything else at the time - slim single stack 9mm. Thickness is definitely a reason - it conceals better than a 26.

Ha! That made me laugh!! Good one Silverado!

Well this jus happened and no, my wife did not find the video or figure it out after I removed the trigger group. jus sayen

It's narrower and comes in bling two tone. Duh.

And to top it off NJ has billions of dollars in pension debt and not only are high earners moving out major corporations are moving too. At some point things will start getting much worse on the fiscal front as well.

Hehe, definitely need more time with both and will request samples from Glock. But here is the question, why bother with a 48 over a 19?

Can we shoot the car? It’s toast dude

A used transmission isn’t that much money on these cars. If you go to the App Store on your phone and download the “Car-Part.com “ app it will give you a list of local junk yards that show they have them and how much. Then you just have to buy fluid and find a shop that will install it for you. I wouldn’t get a reman it’s gonna cost you more than the car is worth when everything is all said and done.

Thought I’d be outa here by now. Taking longer than expected to ready the house for sale. Hopefully giving this state the finger by June.

What was it about the beaches? Was it the parking fee, the beach badge fee, the highway toll fee, the gas tax fee, the overpriced food fee? Or was it the quality of the grainy sand, the slimy water, or the character of the other humans plopped only inches away from your towel?

Unfortunately, IMO.....it's Over...... here.

Your all Wrong......NJ is a beautiful state, from her ocean coastline to her mountains along the beautiful Delaware.....it's the elected dregs of society that have ruined her beyond repair....OMO.

Guess where Facebook, Youtube, Apple, Microsoft, Google... can all go.

Got a little peckish so I fixed up a little Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese on a fresh Kaiser roll. Figured I’d share.... So good when it hits the lips!

thing is with value of the car......it's what it's worth to you. not what it would be worth to resell it. is it worth it to you to spend the money to keep this car on the road. kind of a devil ya know vs the devil ya don't know. if you spend the loot to rebuild yours, will you get at LEAST another year out of the car? you want more than that, but 1 year is min. to make it worth the expenditure. has it been nickel/diming ya? good condition? these are the things you need to consider. i've tried to talk people out of doing this kind of work(which sucks 'cause i'm talking myself outta money). either way.........it' what it's worth to you, not to the guy up the street that may be looking to buy it.

Aren't smelling a pile of shit and watching CNN the same thing??

I have the same hopes. If the law is struck down and broadly interpreted NJ gun owners may finally be able to stop at a restaurant and leave the unloaded and locked handgun in the trunk of their car while they have dinner. It would be a small win but I would take it.

^^^THIS^^^ Additionally, the NYSR&PC case also has meaning for NJ's infamous "To & From" Law which requires an exemption for NJ gun owners in order to transport LEGALLY! What we all tend to forget in NJ (perhaps because we're all so USED to BEING INFRINGED) is that statutorily ALL GUNS ARE ILLEGAL, and merely exist in the hands of us serfs due to the benevolence of our Masters through EXCEPTIONS & EXEMPTIONS. So if SCOTUS ruling declares ownership & transportation to ranges in your own state to be lawful, NJ's entire House of Cards could come crashing down. It all depends on how the majority opinion is written & how narrow the interpretation actually IS. IF it's far-reaching and NOT narrow, we could see BIG changes to ownership, practice and transportation laws here in NJ! As a 2A Leader, I understand fully that every time SCOTUS grants CERT on a 2A case, it can mean a better or worse reality for the entire nation's gun owners. I therefore am very hopeful that we in NJ may see some relief from our current status-quo. Rosey

I just hope it doesn't have the opposite effect - i.e. galvanizing the gun grabbers to grab harder... being, thus, "butthurt" from that loss. Having seen how butthurt they can get from Pres. Trump's 2016 victory, that can get a little scary. Remember, SCOTUS is not the most powerful branch of Govt. That belongs to the legislature... and they're elected by "We the People." No matter what SCOTUS decides, the people can decide to elect legislators that will implement whatever they choose... (well... hopefully.... in reality, it's probably that they'll implement whatever keeps them in power... )... We definitely have to get our numbers up....
