S&W brining back 610
This is a great idea... will be reaching out to my people to get a copy of both. =) I will say, personally, the big draw for me was not 10mm, but ability to shoot 40 S&W... and thus a nice gun for gun games.

NJ Compliant AR
At this point, I would recommend buying a Lower from one of our dealers. By the time you figure buying a lower than paying transfer fee, you are in it for about the same as simply buying a lower from the dealer. Reach out to any of our vendors, they should have plenty avail. Correct... vast majority of the old and new "AR pistols" are not NJ Kosher. It has to do with the manufactured pistol weight. Only one that I know that was made for NJ is the Bushmaster Carbon AR pistol.

AR Ejection Issue
+1. Btw, is this gas block by any chance adjustable? If so... you just may need to open it up. In what direction is the brass being tossed?

Look at this Beautiful Disaster
This is stupid.... I am sure it will sell quite well. The weight on that thing must be insane for an AR.... No practical reasons for it besides the "Why not?" Seeing those barrels flex so much, wonder if anyone did accuracy testing. lol.

400+ Yard Ranges
If you need any help with Leupold, let me know. CDS turret is REALLY cool. We tried one when I was in Texas on a brand new unreleased gun on their Mark 5 3-18 and it was spot on out to around 700 yards. Up until the trip, I have only shot at 200 to 300 tops, with the exception of slinging a few rounds past that at Media Day at Shot Show. With a good gun and optic... and going way past 500.... coming back and shooting up to 700 yards was far far easier... you just need to see the gun prove it to you and then it clicks. Btw, what caliber/gun are you shooting, don't recall if you mentioned. If you want, the club in Texas offered to do custom range/dope cards, with reticle hold overs, etc. Need gun, barrel length, velocity of ammo if you have, better yet chronoed, and scope model/reticle. I have never hunted but really came away with admiration for the guys and gals who are passionate and dedicated to ethical hunting... This was the place. www.ftwsaam.com

400+ Yard Ranges
cool, will keep it in mind for one offs if I need 1,000 and can't rent out Shooter's Gauntlet 1,200 or 1,500. If you can bring a few friends, that ends up being a lot better and you have the entire range to yourself.... and for me about 30 miiles closer, 130 vs like 160. Will reach out to him to see if he can do a better rate to just rent out range or what not... As @CageFighter pointed out, it really is limited to just your typical bolt guns... isn't it? Can't bring standard mags there?
-
400+ Yard Ranges
Yeah, there is also the issue of that.... I get bringing a gun to a "match" in NY, but how does it work with regular long guns? @CageFighter, how much do you love it?!?! One of a few in PA, or at least this side where you can shoot 600? Must be a hike for you, no?

400+ Yard Ranges
If you are in north jersey, sure, absolutely makes sense. what types of targets do they have out there? Is it steel or paper? Or both? Terrain?
-
400+ Yard Ranges
Wow, the rates are kinda crazy! To give a for instance, we are looking at the range in PA, the 1200 yard one and it would come out to about $50 per person for the full day.... no memberships, etc. One thing to keep in mind... when going to a long distance range, it is AT LEAST a 3 or 4 hour affair. Especially if you are taking time to let barrel cool, etc. PREMIUM MEMBERS - $1000 PER YEAR. NO HOURLY RANGE FEE. GUESTS OF PREMIUM MEMBERS PAY $20/HOUR. 20 % DISCOUNT ON CLASSES. 2 COMPLIMENTARY GUEST PASSES. SHEEPDOG MEMBERS $300 PER YEAR AND $20 PER HOUR FOR RANGE TIME DAY SHOOTERS $30 PER HOUR

400+ Yard Ranges
I don't believe there are actual memberships there... just for classes. Will check it out. thanks! Any idea on rate?

Glock 43x 500 rounds later
I suppose I focus a lot more on the trigger and manipulation. Have shot at least 20 other Glocks besides my own, and always dead on. I give my guns to other friends and they pull them left... I do agree that the trigger will make your bad trigger disciplines A LOT worse... but it is not inherently shooting off center.... at least not any of the Gen 3 + glocks. But I also practice a lot of dry firing with a NLT SIRT gun (a Glock replica that shoots red and green lasers (red for trigger take up, green for trigger breaking). And btw, anyone that knows me know that I am not a Glock Fanboy... I actually don't like them much... but I shoot them well and respect the company. Just that 9 out of 10 times it is not the gun... but the guy pulling the trigger. There are of course barrel issues at times, such as first gen M&P 9mm that would shoot 8" groups at 25 yards... but that is not sights.

Glock 43x 500 rounds later
Heh, do you have big paws? On the shooting left part... it’s not the gun shooting left... it’s the shooter. every block I have Shot has been spot on. Work on trigger discipline and fundamentals before changing things out. Moving the sights masks the problem. Will try to pay attention to the trigger for bite although generally have never heard that one before. Btw what distance where you shooting it at? Could anyone else replicate the issues?

Range 129
Honestly, I have yet to see a range that really goes after it. Simple enough solution... put your reloaded ammo into original factory boxes. If you blow up your gun, you blow up your gun. For range rentals, yes, absolute should be using range ammo for it and how I would set up my rules unless I know you personally. I also would agree with the range on steel core ammo which would destroy backstops.

Mowen da lawn
Just bought some more garden soil and built a large raised bed.... 1 of many. Later today or this week have to remove the snow blower and throw the mower deck back on the tractor and either replace 2 front tires or put tubes in them.

Free Glock shwag (keychain/lanyard/patch/sticker) for joining their mailing list
Weird, I have not gotten any emails from Glock or the schwag. Will reach out to my Glock pr person to find out what's going on. Most likely fullfillment house issues?

Tips for Selling/Trading Firearms...
And this is why I generally prefer to buy used. Have yet to hear too many folks losing a shirt selling a gun they bought gently used. Guns are guns. Once they are “used” and sold as that, the price generally does not drop further, unless you really used/abused it, it is broken. Furthermore, you cannot expect to recoup costs of upgrades... I.e. night sights, trigger jobs, etc. everyone has a style they like and most likely the buyer paid full price for aftermarket stuff. I suppose while we are at it... best way to get the best price... keep the original box/case/manuals, especially for handguns.

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
Good stuff. Lookingbat our own email servers, generally yahoo followed by aol are the highest reject rates, even though our emails are handled by Google enterprise email servers.

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
So AOL and Yahoo use same backend for email IIRC and those filters reject A LOT of emails. Totally possible they were blocked by AOL and Yahoo without even hitting the spam box. I would urge you guys for now, to ask references for a gmail.com address instead.
