No they can't adjust headspace on an installed extension. I would also argue that the bolt is more likely to be at fault than the barrel extension, at least from any reputable company. This is because the race to the bottom on the sale of cheap bolts is WAY ahead of the race to the bottom on the sale of cheap barrels. I would further argue that more likely than either of those is that an inexperienced user is going to do it wrong and get funky results. The internet is full of stupid suggestions on how to complete it. Like right now I'm looking at one that says you should do it with a min and max gauge, except it treats them like a go and no-go gauge. Which isn't correct, as the brand he is using, the go = a .223 GO gauge, and the max = a 5.56 Field gauge. YEs it shouldn't close on either a no-go or field, but starting on afield from new you may actually be able to close on a no-go. I'm also looking at another one that talks about owning one gauge and a piece of masking tape. And another that is making due with masking tape. bolt needs to be disassembled and cleaned prior to check. Barrel extension lugs need to be cleaned out too in case anything is hiding there. The dudes at an iso 9000 certified factory with CNC equipmetn, experience, and a QC chain that has the right headspace checking tools will do a better job than you more than likely. If you are checking, you should probably also just call/email the barrel maker and ask what bolt they headspace to. Then don't cheap out on the bolt.

@Zeke yes see @GRIZ post above

Looks like a prop from “Planet of the Apes”....

That thing is fugly.

You were the one who talked about getting together with some "patriots" and mixing it up with the police.

Im sure someone said the same thing about tasers being legal to own and carry in NJ. Every bit of change that goes in our favor, were made possible by people not giving up. If everyone is optimistic, we can be proven wrong or right. But if everyone is pessimistic, we can only be proven right.

This reporting law was specifically designed to allow anyone who wants to target a gun owner to have a way to do that without any chance of recourse. Say something political a marxist coworker doesn’t like? You’re being reported. They should just call it what it is. The Brown Shirt Law.

Calm down. Put the file away. I contribute 25.00/month to four gun orgs. Two are our own NJ ones. I’m in the fight. Pooh-Pooh heads that won’t contribute or move out and say “fuck you I'm out” or the ones that are just “we’ll never make it” like a bunch of boot licking FUDDs concern me. But please. ...please don’t hit me (or pull any files on me).

In a world where everyone else is wrong the typical keyboard commando. Meek weak and been blocked for awhile

That's what everyone thought about Chicago/IL and guess what they have reasonable shall carry now. If the court ends up giving us strict scrutiny it will be a huge win that will give circuit court little play in ruling on these idiotic laws.

Says the guy with the CA National Guard at his fingertips.

the wood is nice...

@Zeke Sorry so late.... I am in. I can bring the plastic forks, knives, spoons, forks, bowls, napkins. S.

This will be more than likely this case. NJ is not going to lay down and roll over. But we, of course, still need the fight to go on.

There's kind of two exceptions to this. 1) You can definitely make a loud brake that is not very effective. 2) Given two similarly effective brakes, one can seem quieter. This is usually due to the design of the brake and if it makes the muzzle report higher or lower pitched, and also how much it concentrates the sound in one direction. For example there's the JP bennie cooley brake and the miculek brake. They perform comparably, but I'd rather RO people running the JP brake as the miculek is much barkier and seems a lot louder. To the shooter the difference is less pronounced. As a note, I like the viper venom brake for a NJ build. In QPQ black it is $30, it's effective, it's not too barky, and it gives good access to the crown so you can take care of carbon build up with it permanently installed. The design is also strong and not prone to erosion.

The no duty to retreat from ones dwelling is codified in 2C:3-4. Just one of those NJ Myths that we don't have a Castle Doctrine and have to run from our home.

FWIW I agree with @Kevin125. I have never heard of anyone being arrested walking or taking a bus to a range with their firearm encased and unloaded. A long gun in a case might set off alarms but it would be legal. If anyone has heard of anyone arrested under such conditions please enlighten me. I've only been shooting for over 50 years.

Although that question had occurred to me in the past, it seems there are a limited number of people who might choose to walk to the range. But take the indoor range on Rte 22 behind Harbor Freight. There are a lot of homes in that area. If I lived nearby I might opt to walk there with my unloaded handgun in its case inside my range bag, which would be over my shoulder. No padlocks involved. We have all walked in public with a cased handgun. From the gun shop to the car for example. Pretty sure that wasn’t illegal. If someone has no access to a vehicle and the range is a mile or more away, I would think that is if the gun was cased and the ammo anywhere but in the chamber of the gun, you’d be ok. But I am not a lawyer and there are also cities and towns In NJ with LEOs that would “roll hard” if you crossed their path in street clothes (non-hunting clothing) and a long gun case in view.

This^^^^...I mean you're gonna have to get the head space checked anyway...

By the time you buy a vise, upper vise block, torque wrench, barrel nut wrench, anti galling compound and find a place to bolt down the vise, you could have been to and back from a gunsmith or armorer three times. If you try to rig something up, it's going to take even longer and there's a chance you will be making another trip to the LGS to buy a new upper receiver. Go support your local smith and save yourself a lot of hassle doing it.

No sir

Look at you all matter of fact

I don't know what this issue is here. You 're either are coming or your not. Luv to have you, but won't miss you if you don't if you come; don't come empty handed. The Spring event was great! People were great Food was great Shooting Clays is just a Bonus to it all. Sorry I have to do the Cranberry Festival or I would DEFINITELY be there (With this great Fried Chicken Recipe I learned)

I learned from my uncle @GRIZ the dewey decimal system

Because its kewl to turn your gat to the side and shoot.

Throw it over the berm instead.

Nice, My brother found pair of Hardballers 25 years ago consecutive I purchased one and he purchased the other. we still have both today.

There won't be any recourse, Murphy will just continue, and the citizens will continue to take it up the rear with these new laws, just like they've been doing for decades...

Speaking of FACTS, the FBI just released the stats from 2018 regarding homicides by each weapon. Hey @AVB-AMG, do you accept the data from the FBI (even though they seem to lean "Left" recently), versus Giffords or Bloomberg's Anytown? Here's the quick rundown of the murder rates per weapon: FBI Data Shows 5 Times More People Killed By Knives Than Rifles Last Year Of the 14,123 murders in 2018, 10, 265 of them involved firearms—a 7 percent drop from the previous year. That being said, the number of rifle deaths is extremely important given that this is the weapon most often targeted by gun grabbers. But as the statistics show, a AR15 really isn’t being used against that many Americans. In fact, far more Americans are dying by knives. According to the FBI data, 1,515 were stabbed, cut, or maimed to death by a knife or other cutting instrument. This is a number 5 times higher than those killed by rifles, which sits at just 297. What’s more, twice as many people were beaten to death with hands, fists, and feet (672) than were killed by rifles. And, nearly 150 more people (443) were bludgeoned to death with hammers and other blunt objects than killed with rifles. The weapon most often targeted by gun grabbers appears to play a rather tiny role in the majority of murders carried out in the United States. This is in spite of Americans owning around 16 million AR style rifles. Another important fact is that the FBI data does not differentiate as to what kind of rifle was used in the murder—meaning that it is not likely that all 297 rifle deaths were caused by AR type rifles. The FBI data includes all rifles — including bolt action, pump or lever action rifles — not just AR-15s. If we were to compare stabbings to just AR-15 rifle deaths, that disparity would more likely than not be even greater. Knowing these facts about rifles makes the gun grabbers calls for taking your AR-15s that much more hollow. Even if they were able to disarm all Americans of their AR-15 rifles, this would have little to no effect on the number of total murders. So, @AVB-AMG, since you say you're willing to learn and adjust your thinking... based on this DATA by the FBI, do you still think a "assault weapons" ban/confiscation will really reduced mass murder? Also, do you see where the TRUE issue is, and what items are used to do the majority of killings?

Muzzle brakes on low recoil rifles are a phenomenon found in AWB states like NJ, NY, CA etc. These conversations are not common in free states. Brakes are a substitute for the look of a flash hider. For the most part, brakes are an Ersatz penis extension. In the free states, most folks are happy with the A2 birdcage, which also functions as compensator. Again, the A2 is NOT a brake, its primary functions are compensator and muzzle blast dispersion. and are commonly replaced with a loud and arguably unnecessary brake for the look.

As long as my dads health holds out, Mrs Tex and I will be there. And for Gods sake, I’ll save y’all from eating the crock pot ribs abomination. I’ll bring some REAL bbq. Not sure if it will be brisket or pork, but nonetheless, I’ll feed y’all right.

I'm bring'n the salad. Your gonna eat it, and LIKE it! Besides, not like I can cook anything for a while.......
