I did one recently, a Freedom upper and popped it on a Anderson lower. Figured it would be a throw-away AR, if needed. Trigger was a little funky, so I threw in a LaRue trigger, big difference. Why not, it makes rounds go bang? Will a "tweaker" know the difference at 2 AM?

But then your going to have to worry about other hunters messing with your car thinking your some sort of peta freak

And who mows the darn grass? i have always wondered. if sound attracts zombies why are they not using .22's are more silent and can kill the brain. as i was told years ago a .22 will just bounce off inside the skull making brain shredded

awd is a fantastic "extra" in the rain too. i think you meant to say "owdie"

Keep your house clean. If it’s clean no one will call you dirty. jus sayen

At Toyota now, got a good deal on a left over 2018 rav4. Thanks for the input everyone!

Don't you need "Bernie" and "Coexist" stickers for those?

Bob, I got scammed once when I wanted to buy the first gen Iphone for a friend overseas. I lost the ebay auction but then got a mail that the winner backed out and do I want it? I said sure and sent the 450 via paypal to him. Nothing ever showed up up so i filed with paypal and they refunded half (assholes), But then we have some fun. I found the guy in Vegas and located his home address. The next day, a new Craigslist ad went up for a pre-foreclosure sale at xxx maple ave. everything must go! Sale starts at 6am! About 45 people showed up at 6am and took off with all of his outdoor stuff. The emails were fabulous.

I cant wait to get out of this state.

Spot on... but even for "primary HD gun" Don't care about the price... what I care about is whether I had hundreds or thousands of trouble free rounds through it. Beyond that, it is about knowing how to deal with any malfunctions. Plus for Home Defense... it will be a "reliable throwaway" as if God forbid you have to use it... you should be able to kiss it goodbye for a while. (unless this is SHTF or Zombies where courts will not be an issue).

Waiting on the hate to flow. PSA stuff is decent. Is it BCM or Colt? No. But it works.

That's what I do with mine when I do battery changes every Spring and Fall. I vacuum them and bring in my tank of air and blow them out. I also write the date on each one when I buy and install them, and at approx. the 5 year point, I replace them.

Agree on the G43. The smallest 9mm I like at the range is my G26. I find the G19 and the G26 to feel about the same in recoil. Anything smaller I prefer .380. If Sig releases the P365 in .380 I'm going to trade my G43 in.

Look at it as a training session. ANY firearm can have a feed issue, even your most trusted ones. So part of preparation and training is the ability to clear the issue and get back on target. If that's not part of your regular practice, you're NOT ready for home defense.

My compliments Theresa . I'm disseminating that article.

In Vermont/NH all you see are Lesbarus. Go with the RAV4!

Old school single 9v units only have a "real" life of 5 to 7 years anyway .. not the battery of course, as those should be changed every six months .. but the little radioactive module inside of it. I know on paper it may say 10 years but more often than not they lose their effectiveness after 5 to 7 years and are no longer sensitive enough. So if you have any older than that they should be replaced right away anyway

The state can "require" all they want, I'll replace mine as they fail. And I don't honestly have a problem with the 10yr battery ones; I think that's pretty neat actually.

I've heard of the oil consumption issues, so I know it's a concern. But my 2016 Outback has never, over 65,000 miles, required addition of a single quart of oil in between scheduled (6000 mile) oil changes. Just one data point, I know. My wife likes the Rav4's...she has had three of them, and all have been reliable. And, not being full-time AWD, they are a little less fussy about the tires matching precisely (which can, on a Subaru, force replacement of all 4 tires when one fails). Only oddity with her Rav4's...the white pearl 2009 and 2012 Ravs that she handed down to her girls both now have the paint peeling off in great big sheets. All paint is gone from the roof of one, most from the other, and both are now shedding big swatches of paint from the quarter panels.

I'm not a car guy. I don't care about cars, I don't fiddle with cars, I don't know anything about cars. But, subaru is the only maker I know of that finds that acceptable. I don't. I don't accept that a new car consume any oil whatsoever.

tell us more? i hadn't seen or heard of that one yet?

Well that is my point - most agencies 'wargame' right - ' think like a bad guy ' The radio chatter that night - the EP responding units and field comm could hardly give direction to mutual aid units as they seemed to not know the lay of the land - I mean jeezus they seemed surprised at the 2000 gallon propane tanks..... Paper mill? Check Propane Tanks? check Disaster waiting to happen and the local FD has no idea - priceless

And their Gov is kinda Hot...

Still no Tapa?

Bought this beauty off 1563621 today. Apparently all original except the op rod is a National Match. Gauges 1 and 1 with a bright shiny bore. We have a date this Sunday at Range-14.

was cleaning out some cans, loading enblocs and came across a stash of winnie 30-06 from 43 and 45!

I’ve given up on this completely. In the one case where he owed $9k in 2018, he owed $7k in 2017. But he’s paying $4000 less in total tax. I said “you won”. He said “I’m going to tell my employer to hold back another $110 each paycheck”. This is what people focus on. I won’t judge.

One of my favorites!

Ask the dealer if they fixed the heater core/exchanger issues.

Lighten up Francis, I was agreeing with your original post. A couple of well motivated groups could completely paralyze a urban area. Hmmm, sounds just like a recent discussion here regarding H.D. and weapon lights.

#22 REDEFINING MISUSED TERMS THAT ANTI'S LOVE TO THROW IN YOUR FACE! HOW TO DEFEAT ANTI GUN ZEALOTS AT THEIR OWN GAME! IN THE BATTLE FOR MINDS, COMMUNICATION IS KEY! By Theresa Inacker, CNJFO Communications Director & former Managing Editor of the Seton Hall Constitutional Law Journal Thursday January 31, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us Language matters in our battle to keep and bear arms for all lawful purposes. NBC in New York recently reported that a New Jersey man fought off an “unwanted house visitor.” Of course, “unwanted house visitor” is a euphemism for more truthful phrase “armed intruder" conducting a Home Invasion! The rights-minded individual immediately recognizes these sugar-coated phrases, but there is nothing sweet about it. The anti-rights mob is subtly commandeering the narrative, influencing the people in the middle - those who don’t yet know what all the fuss is about. The people in the middle hear about mass shootings, and assault rifles. They hear about universal background checks, common sense gun laws, and preventing gun violence—and they think, who could be against that? Only bad people, of course. Make no mistake, my patriot friends, these word games are deliberate. The anti-rights mob follows their “Gun Control Playbook” ensuring they are effectively communicating their message. Why don’t we do the same? Here are some examples of how the anti-rights mob is using language against you, and how YOU can take back control and use effective communication. WEAPON: You should call it a Firearm. Weapon has a negative connotation. None of my firearms have ever been used as weapons. Many of you may have learned this in basic NRA courses. ASSAULT RIFLE, ah, the most ubiquitous phrase: why not ask ‘what is an assault rifle?’ There will be no answer, or it will be a vague reference to any scary black gun. Take the opportunity to educate someone who knows nothing about the AR platform. Let’s call it the MODERN SPORTING RIFLE. MILITARY STYLE WEAPONS: This automatically convinces the folks in the middle that any scary, black gun in the hands of a civilian is something beyond his or her ability to own and handle, most excessive and unnecessary and it should be forbidden. NEED: Nobody NEEDS (insert any subjective number greater than one) firearms, nobody NEEDS a military style weapon unless they’re going to war. It’s A RIGHT; not a NEED. Did Rosa Parks NEED to sit in the front of the bus? No, but you bet your life she had every RIGHT to. MASS SHOOTING: it is mass murder. Let’s call it what it is. MURDER. HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINE: STANDARD magazine in free states. FULL-SEMI AUTOMATIC; the anti-rights mob thrives on conflating the semi-automatic firearm with the automatic. This is to scare the folks in the middle making them believe that “automatic weapons” are around every corner and about to kill them, diminishing your ownership of anything semi-automatic. UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS: background checks to which criminals never have, and never will submit. PREVENTING GUN VIOLENCE: this is code for stricter controls on the law-abiding only, with zero effect on violence. VIOLENCE IS VIOLENCE and we are AGAINST VIOLENCE. COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS: more anti-rights demands made against the law-abiding. SHOOT TO KILL: this is how the anti’s refer to STAND YOUR GROUND LAWS. WILD WEST: lawful concealed carry, especially for Pizza deliveries in Sen. Weinberg's Teaneck, NJ. WELL-REGULATED: the anti's never apply correct historical context to this one. Put simply, it means a standard of readiness needed to join the fight for American Independence. Like two front opposed teeth to rip open paper cartridges of powder & ball. The anti-rights mob avoids using facts or waiting for facts to come in after any event. This is deliberate and straight out of their handbook. Just like never letting a crisis go to waste. Emotions drive everything; facts are not of interest to the anti-rights mob. Facts hurt their cause. The anti-rights mob uses individuals (ex: Stoneman-Douglas students; remember the Newtown, CT parents paraded into the NJ Senate chambers by Sweeney and Weinberg?); Put a FACE on it- this is also in their manual and very deliberate. MILITARY STYLE WEAPONS: This automatically convinces the folks in the middle that any scary, black gun in the hands of a civilian is something beyond his or her ability to own and handle, most excessive and unnecessary and it should be forbidden. We’ve all had those ad nauseum conversations with an anti-rights person spewing the above without knowing any facts. Time to take back the power of language. I simply tell them, if you don’t like the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, all you have to do is change the Constitution. What other euphemisms and phrases would you add to this list? Discuss please!

As an instructor and a student, the only rifles that I have seen shit the bed more often than Stag is Bushmaster. (That being said, I dont have an issue buying stripped Stag lowers for carbines I will assemble). From one LEO to another - Ditch the Stag and get the BCM. Its a better gun that will serve you longer without issues. Stags are hobby guns with a 5000-7000 round service life. I have BCM uppers with 2-3 times that and have seen more BCM rifles with round counts on the tens of thousands that just keep on chugging along. Don't aspire to mediocrity to save a couple bucks. Whatever you do, don’t throw good money trying to make an inferior product what you want it to be. It never will be - you are just polishing a turd. Buy quality, buy once, and be confident in your gear.

asfar as an awd vehicle, you can't beat a Subaru. only problems I know of are oil consumption. they've had issues since about 2011. I dunno if they fixed that yet.

I had a 1998 Legacy GT wagon until 2008. Loved it. Used it when climbing for a living and put almost 100,000 miles on it in a year and a half driving back and forth from NJ to WV in the summer and NJ to NH in the winters. Zero problems and handled NH snow and ice (even some logging roads up near Berlin in the snow) with no problem. My wife now has a 2012 Outback. We are very pleased with it. Great car.

This. It's a brand new rifle. It should work. It's also the wrong rifle. It shouldn't be. Bad customer service is bad customer service. My buddy sent multiple emails and made multiple calls to Manners to find out where the 1300 dollar stock he ordered, and paid for, is. It should never, and I mean never, take that long to get an answer from a company regardless of what they have going on at a given time. SHOT show is no excuse.

I was pretty close to ordering the BCM but decided to try it once more today. Lubed it up then double checked the gas block again and it shot well. Had one stovepipe of 80 rds and that was right at the beginning, think it’s wearing in. I will say I learned a lot but wish I didn’t have to deal with it on a brand new gun. If I didn’t get the gun for $500 on Black Friday it would be gone. Can’t justify the extra $1000 right now. Going to add a few goodies and keep it for now.

True but every company has its off days. Beyond that, don't really know and might have been something that happened during shipping or even the FFL who was transferring the gun playing with it before you got it. Then of course we have to rule out the shooter/user errors and ammo. Brand new gun + low power Silver Bear, etc... recipe for stove pipes and FTF. I suspect though this is where experience comes in too, and experienced gun guys would want to figure out what the issue is instead of throwing it away. Heck, could be something completely simple like a loose retaining screw on the gas block.

We can order the DDm4 V11... just give us a ring.

Umm no LOL....

There should be no infringement. But I will add to that that with rights comes responsibilities. If you want to exercise your rights take responsibility and educate yourself. Ranges on the other hand should have some way of vetting members. Private ranges usually make new members attend safety classes or something of the like. Those in the community need to reach out and help others be more safe. If you see something unsafe happening speak up! If someone has a malfunction then step in if they don't know what to do. I joined a private range partially because of the added safety factor. Some private ranges seem to let anyone in, though. Most public ranges require some safety videos or something, and if someone goes to a range and they announce they are new, then staff should shadow them. Some public ranges have it implemented that if someone comes to a public range alone and does not already have his or her own firearms with him and wants to rent, then that person cannot shoot, to avoid suicides. I once took my adult niece to the range and she shot the roof. I didn't let her proceed again until I was confident that that would not happen again. I also took her when no one else was around. I never thought to check ahead of time, but now I do with anyone going with me to the range. She was opposite-eye dominant and wasn't aiming accurately. I belonged to another private range that was used by some of its members as a money-making scheme where they taught NRA classes. One time I was shooting and the member shows up with his students and proceeds to go past the firing line without any warning and instructs us to stop shooting as he does so. He must have been teaching his students well. He was a range officer in the club as well. Go figure. As a side note, it is great sometimes when I arrive at the range and I am the only one there. However, for the most part I think it is better to go with a buddy just in case something happens, and bring a phone with you. When I was a beginner though, I liked going by myself and thinking about what I was doing with no pressure. When the range is busy I think it is hard for new shooters, as there is too much going on. It might be a good idea to keep a tourniquet and an Israeli Bandage on your person as well.

You're overthinking this

I will have to shoot it again but for me, the recoil on the 48 and 43x seemed far harsher than on a 19, despite not being that much smaller. Hence why would go 19. will have to try again. The two tone is definitely cool though.

It has happened. There was a negligent shooting of a man in the leg at brick armory, and a murder-suicide at shore shot in 2008. Statistically significant? I'm not sure.

#14 CHEESEMAN-JILLARD LAWSUIT RECEIVES MATCHING FUNDS CHECK AT SOUTH JERSEY 2A EVENT! CNJFO PRESENTS $11K TO CHEESEMAN-JILLARD SUITS! $5,000 MATCHING FUNDS CAMPAIGN A HUGE SUCCESS! by Black Wire Media Monday Jan. 21, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us History was made in South Jersey Thursday evening at the New Jersey Constitutional Republicans meeting as CNJFO Officers David "Rosey" Rosenthal, Vice President, along with Treasurer Jack Pyle and Communications Director Theresa Inacker, proudly presented a check for $11,000 to Mark Cheeseman, John Jillard and Jay Factor in front of a packed room of Patriots, to aid them in bringing forth their lawsuit to bring about the right to carry firearms outside the home for all law abiding NJ gun owners! The funds were raised through a well-publicized matching funds campaign run by Jack Pyle, with CNJFO promissing to match dollar-for-dollar up to the first $5,000 donated to Cheeseman-Jillard through its' special "drop-down" on its' web page. Contributors responded to our impassioned plea by donating an additional $1,000, thus making the check total $11,000! A big thanks to all that donated from all of us at the Coalition! The 2nd Amendment was celebrated in a big way. The New Jersey Constitutional Republicans held their first meeting of the new year on Thursday January 17th at The Grove at Centerton Country Club in Pittsgrove, NJ. John Robert Carman, President of NJCR, invited the slate of speakers and the well advertised seminar filled the room. NJCR hosted the seminar on the State of the Second Amendment in NJ, inviting CNJFO Vice President David "Rosey" Rosenthal, CNJFO Communications Director Theresa Inacker, Right to Carry Plaintiff Mark Cheeseman, and 2A Historian Jay Factor to each give a presentation to the room-filled audience. Rosenthal led off the foursome with a presentation on how incrementalism of NJ firearms law has affected his 47 years of life experience with firearms. Inacker spoke of the impact of Constitutional law and how NJ blatantly obfuscates it, and how being that blatant & overbearing makes it even more likely for SCOTUS to grant Cert & hear the case. Cheeseman delivered an address outlining his 13 background checks, being denied a carry permit for "lack of urgent necessity", how a neighbor that doesn't like him could "swat" him with the new "Red Flag" law, and a promise to take the Cheeseman-Jillard lawsuits all the way to SCOTUS! 2A Historian Jay Factor gave us the history behind the infamous "Siccardi Rule" that led to NJ adopting its' "Justifiable Need" scheme without even voting on it, dispelled the myth of a National Guard needing to be the "well-regulated" part of the 2nd Amendment (well-regulated meant fighting farmers, tradesmen, and common folk having the necessary tools, arms, powder, ball & shot, as well as canteen & blanket roll), and other important historical references. The presentations ran till 9pm or so, and several attendees became new members of the Coalition, donated or bought swag & apparel. Future CNJFO "Road Shows" are being planned throughout the state for this year as we hope to bring Freedom's message to your area soon. As details are made available we'll be sure to spread the word. NJCR's next guest speaker will be NJ State Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll.

I see a benefit as well over the G19 - In my opinion, the Glock factory 10 rounds mags are not reliable enough for serious use. This provides a gun designed from the ground up to work with 10 rounders. While the lack of front serrations isn’t a deal breaker, I do greatly prefer them. I wish all of my Glocks had them. I like how they give me more control when manipulating the slide for things like press checks and working through some malfunction techniques. I think they are mandatory for any pistol with a RDS milled into the slide. I was very pleased with the G45 for this reason, as I was looking at a G19X but wanted front serrations. And no, you shouldn’t cover the ejection port or put your hand in front of the muzzle with front serrations. If you find yourself doing either, you are doing it wrong.

No requirement for a Constitutional right. That's a very slippery slope. I avoid the range Friday nights, Saturday and Sundays when possible.

Too many, but they rarely involve taking the life of an innocent stranger. If you're going to be killed in a murder/suicide, you'll almost certainly be taken out by a pissed-off family member, ex-lover, or maybe an ex-employee. So don't take any of them to the range.
