I don't think spraying ammo with any kind of lubricant, more so a penetration lubricant like G96 is a good idea. It can seep past the primers and result in duds or hangfires. It also can result in the brass not being able to expand and seal the chamber properly causing at least high pressure blow by. I don't like loose ammo in cans. Nothing wrong with it if you only store that way and you can fit more than if you put it in boxes in cans. Midway sells cardboard boxes with foam inserts in a variety of sizes if you don't have enough factory boxes to recycle. If you don't want to spring for ammo cans putting the boxes in zip lock bags will give you the moisture protection.

I don't know if I'd go that far. The others you've mentioned invented at least several things and Kalashnikov one.

+1 for what T Bill said. Light charges of slow burning powders can result in secondary explosion effect (S.E.E.). This can happen with ball powders in the medium burn range. Use stick powders and only from published data. Speer used to list reduced loads for 223 in their manual but I don't know if they still do.

Fairly good shooting.

What distance was the target?

Flames flaring up when you Flux is not unusual. Use whatever works to scoop the dross.

If you read the post I was questioning it was referring to the police as plural not CLEOS. Many people want the police only to buy ice cream cones for lost children and help old ladies cross the street. The fact is there are times you want the police to "dominate and control". That is a topic for another thread. My response to your post is covered by post #42 & #43. Redefining justifiable need is a finger in the dike as it can be redefined at a later date. We need a new statute covering carry permits in NJ. Simple enough?

Cops do not write laws or define justifiable need. Would you please explain your rationale why the carry permit situation in NJ is the way it is because of cops?

Boat shoes will withstand wetness. Diving boots will too but if dry they will make your feet sweat and even if wet will be.hot in the summertime. My wife bought me a pair of Goretex shoes. They are a slip on easy to get in and out. They are also waterproof but very comfortable in winter and summer and keep your feet dry. They are also much more rugged than boat shoes or dive boots.

FOPA should cover you through NY.

I bought a rifle from a guy in Philly. Met him at a dealer they, paid transfer fee and PICS. Same legal requirements.

Black Talons got the most press but they brought all hollowpoints under scrutiny. I didn't research this. I lived through this working with state and local leos. I can't remember seeing an AG's opinion in writing. I was a Federal leo and really was not privy to all things that have effect on state law. How I related it was how it was explained to me by the state and local leos I worked with. It's reinforced by the almost total lack of cases where someone Is arrested and charged only with possession of hollowpoints.

That transfer wouldn't be legal as it still is an out of state transfer. NJ law stops at NJ borders. You can't export state law to another state. If some law were to pass there would be a few months for it to take effect. It would not go into effect the next day. Using the same people in your scenario they could make the transfer in NJ and your friend could take the rifle to PA.

You just gave more to the story that raises other questions. Why did NJSP respond when he died (at home?) and not the local police? No reason for NJSP to need the local police if NJSP was seizing the firearms. The firearms could legally be kept by the executor of the estate like all other of the deceased possessions until they could be disposed of IAW the will. I have never heard of firearms being seized by police when someone dies. There is no reason to do this. No secret that the NJSP or local pd be able to look up if someone acquired handguns with a permit pre-computer days. Easier for local pd to do. This is not done routinely. When NJSP computerized firearms registry there were a lot of guns that were bought with permits that didnt make it in the computer. Theres more to this story you may not know Carcano. Should be in possession of executor. Never heard of deceased persons guns seized by anyone.

No inside information on this. Just in nearly 45 years of dealing with NJ gun laws I've never heard of anything like what was described. Not saying it didn't happen but there are some other questions the story generates. First, if the NJSP and local police were there within 24 hours of the person dying they had to be watching the person and knew they died. Takes a couple of days for death certificates to be filed. They are not complete until the doctor signs them and that may be a few days after the death. Although many believe cops break the law whenever they want to, that is not so. I've known a lot of people who have owned guns and died and never heard of the firearms being seized by the police. There has to be more to this story.

There has to be more to this story.

No GI 1911 used a collet bushing. They all used a std barrel bushing.

I will admit I've seen my share of loose 1911s over the 25 years they were in use during my association with the Army most were serviceable and some were really nice. Most 1911s were rebuilt during WWII. I remember my National Guard unit getting some arsenal rebuilds in the 80s as replacements for junky guns. These were still in the wrap from the rebuild in the 40s. Surprised there were still some around after the thousands left in Vietnam and other places around the world. These would be collector guns costing at least a couple of thousand dollars. A couple of thousand dollars buys a pretty nice commercial 1911 for shooting.

I'd be interested in this answer.

This would require a change to CMPs charter as currently the only firearms they can sell are rifles. That should be easy if Republicans stick together. Getting Obamanocchio to sign it is another story. I wouldn't expect any bargains with these guns as a nothing special GI 1911A1 in decent shape easily goes for over $1000. Be good to them out in public though.

Under NJ law hollowpoints are legal for NJ LEOs on or off duty . Feds can do what they want as they are not subject to NJ law. Every Federal agency issues hollowpoints. NJ says out of state and retired LEO cannot carry hollowpoints under LEOSA. LEOSA says they can. LEOSA is Federal law that trumps any state law. NJ also says retired LEO that live in NJ must have Retired Police Officer permit. LEOSA doesn't give states the option to make their own laws regarding retired LEO carrying under LEOSA with the exception of forbidding carry in state or local government forbidding carry in government owned buildings or property. LEOSA starts out by tossing all state concealed carry laws out of the window except what I've mentioned.

When they first passed the hollowpoint law police were arresting criminals who had ditched the gun but still had hollowpoints in possession. They were arrested for possession of hollowpoints. I think it was judge's that didn't like this and the AG instructed prosecutors to use the hollowpoint charge only when there was also a gun charge. You can be charged with possession of hollowpoints as a matter of law but not as a matter of policy. I have only found one case where someone has been charged with possession of hollowpoints ONLY in the past 15 years. Possession of hollowpoints at home is legal. You will not find a law that says you can use hollowpoints for SD at home as most laws will tell you what you can't do not what you can do. If you are very concerned about using hollowpoints in a home SD situation use fmj and stop worrying. Or use a shotgun or AR.

All on the purchaser.

I'm happier with the law the way it is (yeah it shouldn't be the but it is). If they define reasonable deviation and you're caught outside of the definition you're screwed. Now you're subject to what the cops, prosecutor, judge, and jury think a reasonable deviation. I can't see how many on this forum feel bathroom stops, gas, or even food don't qualify as reasonable deviation. Can any one show a case where someone was arrested because the cop didn't feel it was a reasonable deviation? I've lived in NJ a long time and I can't think of one.

Your guns and grips. Put them on what you like best.
