I would go to the AG'S office. The county prosecutor is too close to the PD.

I'm with dig 07 70 on this. If you know the form is illegal but provide the information anyway you've waived your right to keep that info private.

Correction that's FM 23-7

M1 carbines were made to run on oil. Google FL 23-7. Thats why they have an oiler as part of the sling system not a greasepot. I've used Mobil 1 grease on my Garands for years pi. It keeps it's viscosity in any temperature I've shot a Garand in, is cheap, and always on hand. Get a large syringe from the drug store, fill it with grease from the tube, and your application issues are solved.

The receiver is considered a firearm but not under 922r. It is just one part under 922r.

The nnumber of foreign parts is an issue I believe. IIRC receiver is one of the parts listed in 922r. You still have to limit the number of foreign parts

That would be like the Bianchi X15. Long barrel guns just don't work well with a horizontal type of shoulder rig.

As far as shoulder holsters violating rule 2, any holster does this when you bend over, go up or down stairs or an escalator, etc.

I'm not a fan of concealment clothing. The problem is the t shirts are uncomfortable and wearing the same jacket or vest all the time may not be appropriate for everywhere you go. Wearing you gun in the same place all the time is good advice but if you forget where you're wearing it you probably shouldn't be carrying a gun. That same place may not be appropriate everywhere also. When I hear someone say their gun is so light and holster is so comfortable they "don't even know it's there" that's how guns get lost. The larger sneaky Petes look like tablet cases and AFAIC give a bad guy something to target on to steal. To me they look out of place often. That said the downsides to shoulder holsters are: 1. Security if you wind up going hand to hand. 2. You have to wear a full covering garment all the time not just pulling your shirt over a IWB or OWB. 3. They get hot. 4. Not good for live fire practice. I never went to a range where they allowed you to draw and fire from a shoulder holster. 2 & 3 are related anytime of year. Summer is easy to understand. You have to keep that covering garment on all the time. If you stop to eat and they have the heat up you eat and sweat. Go to any indoor activity and the same applies. All that said I have several DeSantis NY Undercover shoulder holsters. They are the best I've found. They aren't cheap but will last forever. I have one that's over 25 years old. If they ever need repair (the snap broke on one of them after 10 years or so) they will fix it and get it back to you quick. I and l so have an older DeSantis nylon shoulder holster, adjustable one size fits all, that works well well if I'm inclined to carry my 5 1/2" Redhawk that way.

I couldn't open his photo. Didn't see there was a pin there.

How would you keep the firing pin where it's supposed to be?

Although Federal law and many states allows it, completing this would make you an illegal manufacturer in NJ. It also takes a lot more skill and equipment to do machining processes like the slide rails. A 1911 also takes more skill in fitting parts than building your own AR. You are also going to spend a lot more for parts than going out and buying a basic 1911. Maybe if you lived in another state but I would steer clear of any 80% receiver in NJ.

Same here. I started shooting M16s in 1968 and have fired probably several hundred thousand rounds through M16s, ARs, and M4s. I don't have a comp on any of my ARS and have no interest in putting one on any of them. Most people IMO put on comps for cosmetic not practical reasons.

I've carried the 17,19, and 26 as a plainclothes and retired LEO for over 15 years. There's difference between a 17 and 26. There's no real difference carrying a 17 vs a 19 or a 19 vs 26. Unless you are trying to fit it in the smallest box possible. The only thing a 26 is better at is carrying in an ankle holster because of the shorter grip and OAL. If you put the finger extension on the 26 you've made the grip the same length as the 26. The 19 is easier to shoot and for the slight increase in size you get 50% more capacity. The 26 is far from a pocket gun. The 19 is the best all around 9 mm IMO.

Any warrant has to specify what you're searching for. Any contraband not specified in the warrant can be seized and you can be charged.

Bullseye more charges per pound. Unique for hotter (not by much) loads. I use Bullseye most of the time.

Contrary to what many believe a prosecutor just can't "make up some bullshit" definition of a flash surpressor. A muzzle attachment is or isn't a flash surpressor. A prosecutor's opinion vs an ATF lab report at the absolute least introduces reasonable doubt absnet a NJ definition. Many people want something on the end of the barrel for cosmetic reasons. They aren't even aware of the fact a surpressor's job is to surpress the flash to the shooter not as an anti-detection device. A comp would offer you a small advantage if you use the rifle in some type of against the clock competition but most actually intensify the flash in low light conditions. Stupid NJ law yes but if you outlaw something you need to define it which NJ hasn't done. That leaves us using ATF's evaluation. That being what it is I avoid problems and additional expense by not having anything on the muzzle of my ARs.

Depends on what you already have, what are your interests, and priorities.

I would say the ATF letter provides you with a viable defense. ATF has criteria which determine if something is a muzzle brake/recoil compensator or flash surpressor/hider. NJ has none. It just says flash supressor. There is no legal definition of what it is. You can cut out one end of a soup can, punch a hole in the other end, tape it to the end of your AR and it will surpress flash to some degree. Absent any NJ legal definition of a surpressor, it would be a poor attorney that couldn't convince a NJ court to accept ATF'S definition. That would be the ATF that's the Federal government's "expert" on firearms.

Apartment in AZ puts you in the residence to residence exemption. Thats much better than claiming "I'm going to the range in AZ".

My experience has basically been the same as Alec's since 2005. I have flown numerous times from Newark with a handgun in my checked baggage. I put my gun in a non TSA locked hard gun case and put that inside a Haliburton suitcase with a combination lock. I never had any encounter with PAPD. I am a retired LEO qualified to carry under LEOSA and have a NJ RPO carry permit. This has never been an issue and the only ID I present is my driver's license. The only times I have ever encountered PAPD was when I was still on the job, carrying on the plane, and they (PAPD) always checked my LE ID before I entered the secure area. This ID check was always done by whatever LE agency had jurisdiction at the airport. Twice there was variance in procedure that Alec described. Once at Newark TSA wanted to see the gun. The other was at O'Hare in Chicago when the ticket agent wanted me to show her the gun was unloaded. I did this by keeping the gun over the Haliburton which was on the baggage scale. The airline was entitled to do this at the time. Not sure if this is still the case. Read all the TSA and airline regulations.

Once they've been out there a while the OTC price will be around $500. People will buy these before doing a cheap build. Ruger should do very well with this.

ATF doesn't mention declaring when shipping to yourself on the website but does in 27 CFR as I said. Don't bet on your definition of interstate commerce. SCOTUS ruled in Wickard v Filburn that wheat that was consumed on the farm it was grown on affected interstate commerce.

Edward Weston said a photographers most important tool is his eye.

27 CFR 478.31 requires you to declare a firearm you are shipping to yourself to a common carrier. You are quoting from the FAQs from the ATF website which give you general not detailed answers. You are also quoting from the Title 18 Criminal statutes. 27 CFR deals with commerce in firearms and ammunition among other things. Your claim that the firearms you ship to yourself are not involved in interstate commerce isn't going to help you. The guns are moving in interstate commerce when you ship them whether or not you intend to sell them to a dealer.
