Boresnakes are good. I use them for a quick clean. However, after the first pass you are dragging a lot of that crap you cleaned out back through the bore. IMO you can't get a bore as clean with a boresnake as you do with a cleaning rod, brushes, and patches. If you clean from the muzzle use a bore guide (plastic or brass) to center the cleaning rod in the bore. You're not going to hurt the crown with plastic or brass. Many rods come with bore guides. I've seen some shooters throw them away because they didn't know what purpose they served. I shoot a lot of lead bullets in 30-30 and 357. I would need a bunch of boresnakes to get the barrel really clean. I clean the action on lever guns by spritzing some gunscrubber inside occasionally, making sure it drains out or evaporates (be careful of it getting on the wood) and squirting a few drops of CLP into the action and on the bolt where I can get at it. This is followed by working the action a few times to spread the lube around. No need to completely disassemble the action unless the gun has gotten soaked, rolled in the mud, or is broken. This has worked for me for over 40 years with Winchester, Marlin, Henry, and Rossi levers.

The reason you can't find any laws in NJ on using a cane for walking assistance is there aren't any. Using that cane as a weapon can have implications. Disparity of force issues can justify you using that cane as a weapon. Being assaulted by a 6 year old you probably shouldn't smack him with a cane. Being assaulted by a 6'6 300 lb bodybuilder probably okay to use the cane as a weapon. Nothing black and white on this but disparity of force is a concept recognized even in NJ.

I've seen fist size groups at 25 with a stock 2" Model 60 S&W so it's not about putting a couple of thousand in a gun.

A fist size group at 25 and a 1" group at 10 are far from being fairy tales. Many shooters are satisfied with mediocre performance and just don't want to spend the time, energy, and ammunition to get better.

Not saying NJ gun laws are for the most part pretty stupid. However, I've yet to see this story about the dropping off his uncle verified. If it has please direct me to where it has. I have never heard of anyone being arrested for not taking the most direct way from the range in NJ. That's in nearly 50 years of shooting. If there has been one will someone please let me know.

The hand spring sits between the connector and hand. Sounds like yours is broken.

If you do what I said you will have two new guns in the household instead of one. If you want to sour your wife on shooting get the px4 "for her". Be a sport and buy her the M9 as that is what she likes.

All the time for over 40 years.

Any law abiding citizen can get a CCW in PA.

I would say if your wife is dead set on a M9 she should get a M9. She gets her M9 and you get your px4 or whatever you want.

Shane you are asking the impossible. The SAS, Delta, or any other Special Ops outfit makes press releases on what are deploying with. Moreso if it's a limited use item. This could be part of the SAS's "field trials". AFAIC, if that's what the SAS is using they must have found a use for it. If not the press got it wrong.

Shane, you're confusing normal acquisition and testing procedures to what Special Operations do. Special Ops types find some thing they could use, see how it's fills a niche for them, and buy it. No specs writing, bidding etc. You can't see what IWI brings to the table but you aren't a Special Ops trooper. Neither am I. The SAS saw something they liked and bought it.

I'm sure they tested it to their satisfaction before fielding. I'm also certain it's been used in the field before this. This is the first publicized. Everybody's definition of best is different.

The SAS, like every other special operations outfit, gets a lot of things not in the general inventory because they found it meets their needs better. Doesn't make a difference who uses it or where it's from. That goes from everything from rucksacks to sniper rifles.

Being curious, I found a Daily Mail a article dated 3 August 2014 that says the SAS were getting the DAN. I guess it fills a gap between 7.62 NATO and 50 cal rifles.

Why? Not trying to sharpshoot you trying to learn.

DAN 338 is a bolt action made by Israeli Weapons Industries.

I've use RCBS priming press or hand primer for about 40 years. I treat priming as a separate operation. Priming on the reloading press doesn't give you enough feel. Never had any issues with seating depth.

This is a verbalized copy of some graphic I think NYPD put out maybe 10 years ago. Most of it true.

The State Bureau of Identification (SBI) number is assigned to any one fingerprinted for any of the multitude of reasons one might be fingerprinted by the State. Not just criminals and people with a FID.

You are correct. The OP stated it was "a while back". If that's 9 years ago he'd go back for to do his 6.5 years. If it was 20 years ago he would be a felon on possession of a firearm. He wouldn't most likely be charged with that if he was still on parole but he could. There can be a lot of conditions with parole but not possessing firearms is pretty standard. Doing 3.5 years on a 10 year sentence for distribution charge means he wasn't dealing nickel bags of grass. Not saying he isn't reformed now. IIRC, as black powder guns are not considered firearms under federal law a convicted felon can possess one depending what the state says. Not in NJ.

Do you have statutory to make arrests and to carry a firearm? That's how police, investigators, detectives, and federal agents get their authority. None have permits. They don't need them. LEOSA is a statute gives active and retired LEOs authority to carry a firearm as long as they meet certain criteria. I'm not saying cops should be the only one allowed to carry. Just saying how they get to do so.

That would constitute felon in possession of a firearm.

No handling firearms for your friend.

Waiting to hear the rest of the story.
