If you really want to scare them put two bayonet studs on it .

The SKS stays legal under Federal law no matter what you do to it as long as you are 922r compliant. It stay legal under NJ law no matter what you do to it as long as you keep the fixed magazine. Put the two together and you can have a NJ legal SKS with folding stock, pistol grip, bayonet stud, flash surpressor, and other evil features. Expect to get questioned on it often though.

I've seen Glock and S&W do this in the past. IIRC they added a letter at the end.

Grumpy, I'll see you at the meeting next week when you pick up your card, fob, and other stuff.

Gas stations started doing this in the 70s.

Your derringer similar to yours is listed for $600. On a auction site one sold for 1500. Still willing to take $200. Google is your friend do a little research,

My 308 Tanker is a commercially made rifle. I'm well aware of the Navy conversions to 7.62 NATO. The first time I encountered them was when my unit was moving by LST in Vietnam. The sailors pulling deck watch were armed with the 7.62 NATO Garands and grenades.

I have a Tanker in 7.62 NATO. It works well but has a hell of a muzzle flash. Im guessing that the CMP 308s are set up for 7.62 NATO rather than 308. A call to them will confirm or deny that. In any case you could still use an adjustable gas plug.

I've used it for a lubricant/protectorant for about 25 yrs. Hoppes is a better cleaner. The only other lube I use is Mobil 1 grease on Garands.

I believe that's codified in 10 USC 311.

Vlad I agree wholeheartedly that too many think of SD a just carrying a gun.

If you were to do some research you will find killing and torturing animals is a trait of serial killers. So you're wrong on that. I don't see a lot of support for your claim that brutally killing and toturing animals is not abberant behavior. You seem to read things that are not there. I never said to add animal torturers from the "approved firearms owners list". Such people have issues and perhaps they should be removed from the "list". Maybe we should have them all move to your neighborhood. Could you show me where I said I wanted to make the "list" shorter? You seem to want to make accusations and present arguments on things I never said. There will be plenty of people who don't "make the cut" before me.

Vlad if it works for you fine. However you need to consider the possibility you may be in a physical confrontation that doesn't warrant deadly force. I guarantee there's someone out there that can rip that holster off. Steel or plastic clips, j clips, snaps or whatever. As I said before I use IWB holsters but the snatchability is something you can't brush off based on "they shouldn't even know you have a gun". On the "off chance" I need to disarm I just take the gun out of the holster and secure it in the car. I've never seen any paddle holster you didn't have to at least loosen you belt to put it on or off so what are you really gaining?

The only thing I didn't cover above is the easy on easy off. IMO you're sacrificing some security with these types of holsters. No way is a paddle, some snaps and/or clips as secure as a holster with a belt threaded through it. There's a video out there where a guy grabs a gun in a Fobus paddle holster with both hands and rips the holster right off the paddle. Those holsters with big paddles are uncomfortable in hot weather. Some will shift no matter how much you tighten your belt. I've also never quite seen the logic behind easy on and off holsters. When you need to be armed you put the holster on and take it off when you're done. The holster for my EDC sits by my wallet and other stuff I put in my pockets and goes on when I put my pants on. If I come home and want to not carry the gun around the house I take it out of the holster and put it away. Can someone give me a scenario where one needs to take their gun on and off so many times a day a "quick release" holster makes sense.

There were some semi autos made for shooting galleries in 22S only. Remington made a model of the Nylon 66 in 22S.

If this is what your PD wants. I sign mine and have someone witness it.

A friend of mine told me when he was in his Basic Course in the USMC they told him to use Brylcreem (a hair product) as a field expedient lubricant.

I bought a Hi Point 9mm about 6 years ago. They are ugly, feel cheap, and IMO everyone should have one for the price (which was a lot less 6 years ago). Mine has been 100% reliable with factory mags and shoots 4-6 inches at 100 yds with just about any type of ammo. It is a bit involved field stripping however being its displayed AK reliability I only punch the bore, knock off the big chunks through the ejection port, and squirt some CLP inside. I'm usually much more meticulous about cleaning but this is all the Hi Point needs to keep running.

I've carried a handgun just about everyday for nearly 40 years and a G26 for about 13. IWB-Best concealment. I use them but something minimalist like a DeSantis Sof Tuk. I can't see much sense in the IWBs that have snaps and paddles where the holster is a lot bigger than the gun. A lot of your security with a IWB comes from how tight your belt is. It can be uncomfortable if you get the wrong holster. Usually slower draw than a OWB. OWB-Strong side 2-4 o'clock probably the best way to carry a SD gun. I've tried just about everything and about 25 years ago found the DeSantis Speed Scabbard. I have one for every gun I carry on a regular basis (including the one I got 25 years ago). Its a very secure holster without a safety strap (which I prefer) but they offer it with a thumb break if you prefer. Leather- only way to go with the exception of some specialized uses. SOB-already covered looks cool but that's about it. Weapon retention sucks. Shoulder Holster- I have them and use them but I find them best for: 1. Full size handguns moreso if you have a short jacket. 2. If you're spending most of the time in a car or climbing in and out of an aircraft or armored vehicle. 3. For a second gun if you already have one on your hip. They are bad if you have to grapple with someone or need to run. they get hot in the summer. You say he is interested in security work. As in executive protection? I've worked Secret Service details mostly for foreign dignitaries during UN functions but also for G.W. Bush during the convention in Philly in 2000. FWIW I never saw anyone who had to be in a suit all day use a shoulder holster. Always a strong side OWB.

There used to be more target pistols made in 22 short. The Walther GSP is one of them. The rational is the lighter recoil made it easier to recover from the recoil in rapid fire stages. The round is more than powerful enough to punch holes in paper. Less wear and tear on your backstop or bullet trap too. I use them in revolvers and lever actions for plinking and don't think they are that much off the accuracy of LR. I also have a Beretta 950 in 22 S (thanx to fliks) I like shooting as it is phenomenally accurate for a tiny gun. Not my first choice for SD but its almost as good as a 22LR or 25 ACP and I might be able to bluff my way out. Remember during the Civil War many Union officers went on the battlefield with a 22S S&W No. 1 in each pocket and felt adequately armed. Well, they had a sword too.

No one is saying if we put away everyone with a mental health problem and put an end to people stabbing other people. I think you'd be hard pressed to convince everyone that someone who sets cats on fire doesn't have a mental health problem. More than one mass murderer started out torturing and brutally killing animals.

More than once I'm sure.

There were no animal cruelty laws under 2A when I left the police department in 1978. However, if we encountered a guy like this setting fire to a cat it could have been handled much differently. He would be taken to the ER, we would have told the doctor what he did, the doctor would talk to the guy, then commit him to Marlboro for evaluation. If this system was still in place the judge could have done the same thing during his bail hearing. But it isn't. Stringing the judge up for something that he has no control over is not a solution. As KpdPipes said, it is not easy to send someone away as it once was. Bail is set based on the crime, the defendants ties to the community, and other factors but the main reason is to ensure the defendant appears in court. I wouldn't be so quick to blame the judge without more information.

A bit of both if its coming from Joe. Their is some consistency in the remarks liberals make in regards to gun laws. Janet Reno (at a press conference after Colombine where she was demanding new guns) was asked by a reporter on what she thought of "just enforcing the laws we already have" responded with: "It doesn't make a difference whether we enforce them or not, we just need more laws". This coming from the Attorney General?

Are you in PA or NJ? If you're in PA need to go to a NJ or PA FFL for a long gun or NJ FFL for a handgun.
