Yes, it has the 24" barrel. Thanks.

I recently acquired a new to me Bushmaster AR-15 and I'm looking to get some kind of sight for it. I'm not looking for anything fancy or extravagant, just something that's decent and good value. Any recommendations? TIA.

I have them too but I don't want to take advantage of them and end up pissing them off when I really need them.

I get it but I hate to have to ask people to be my references and have to fill out the questionnaires.

Mine is strictly for home defense so I need it to shoot when I really need it to shoot and so far it's been pretty damn reliable at the range. BTW, it won't win any beauty contests but I don't think it's that ugly. I'd take reliability over beauty any day and the price fit my budget.

This unfortunately is very true. As an Asian American I used to be a democrat until I realized what the liberal agenda is. I'm now, and have been since Bush the younger, a Republican and that makes family reunions a little uncomfortable because most of my relatives on both sides are Dems. This goes against all conventional wisdom given that many of our beliefs are generally conservative. We believe in the family unit, study hard, work hard, and get rewarded based on your efforts. Total opposites of what the liberals believe. Asking for or getting charity or Government assistance is shameful and embarrassing yet that's what the liberals are all about. Some even demand it. Trump is rough around the edges and he pulls no punches and personally I wouldn't want him as a friend or buddy but he is exactly the person I want on my side fighting for me. I'm voting for a president and a leader, I'm not voting for a drinking buddy. BTW, I've had a firearm for nearly 30 years and I never came across any barriers preventing me from getting one and I've never been a victim. I now have 2 pistols and 3 rifles and I never felt uncomfortable or thought I was unable to get one just because I'm Asian so I don't know what the hell that article is talking about.

Yeah but I have to use my township police and they seem to take their time. The permit I applied for last year took 5 months to get approved. Figures.

If I sell a pistol to a private buyer through a FFL and want to buy a different pistol, will I get "credit" for the one I sold which will allow me to buy a pistol without a new permit or will I still have to apply for a new pistol permit?

I have a Hi-Point with a barrel that's not threaded but it is a 4595

Are these still available?

Tracking.

Second if sale falls through.

5.56 or .223 only?

OK

How do you feel about those selling ammo on this forum that require the same documentations?

Yeah, they're not the only ones who require photos of matching FID and DL. Midway USA requires them too and I don't blame them.

I've ordered ammo from Midway, Palmetto, Sportsman's Guide, and Ammo Depot so I know they ship to NJ.

Some background about me, as a relatively new engineer and was still in the "apprentice" stage of my career of the line of work I'm in I, along with a bunch of new engineers, was sent to Ruger's manufacturing facility in New Hampshire (Lebanon I think) and see their investment casting process of their pistols. This was back in the early '90s so my memory is about 30 years old but if I recall the process was the same for all caliber. So it is very possible that the difference between the .38 Special and the .357 Magnum could be just the difference in the cylinders. Part of the course was to learn to take apart and put back together the SP101 and a 9mm semi-auto pistol so I'm very familiar with the SP101 which is why I decided to get one because I was impressed with it. I have a feeling that if it was off the record their engineer would say it is safe to shoot +P ammo out of my SP101 for defensive uses only but the lawyers won't allow them to say it officially.

Thank everyone for your inputs and thoughts but I guess I was looking for people who have shot +P rounds out of older pistols that are not +P rated (doesn't mean it can't) without damage. I don't know when +P ammo came about but I think when I got my SP101 back in '92 they didn't have +P rounds yet so Ruger wouldn't have printed that on the gun. The response I got from them feels like a canned response just to cover their butts but the pistol is very stout so if I know people who have the same, or similar, pistols and have shot +P ammo without damage then I would feel more confident using them. BTW, I don't plan to shoot +P ammo at the range. I'll still continue to use regular 38 special rounds. My intent is to use the +P rounds for home defense only.

Curious, does it come with any mags?

Yeah, the +P rounds I got are defensive rounds so I'll only use them for home defense, not for range shooting.

I have a Ruger SP101 .38 Special revolver that I got back in 1992. Back then I don't know if they had +P rounds but there's no markings on the gun anywhere that says +P. It only says .38 Special. Recently I came across some .38 Special +P rounds and I'm wondering if it'll be safe to shoot them out of my Ruger. I contacted Ruger about this and all I got was a canned legal sounding response saying it was designed for its intended purpose. So I'm asking if you have this pistol would you shoot +P rounds out of it? Thanks.

I'll take them assuming you meant "22 LR" instead of "22 LT".

Decent prices but too far away from me. Good luck.
