You came up with the scenario I didn't. We can all come up with hypothetical scenarios. Can you find me anyone who has been arrested for illegal possession of a dagger in their home?

Whoa!!!! You're the one with the police searching your house just a few posts up.

There is no need for a periodic disassembly of a firearm. If the gun is working what are you rebuilding? If you keep on taking a gun apart those pins and pin holes will wear out. There are times I've bought a gun that lived in a sock drawer it's entire life. It had been bathed in petroleum based oil and as a result was pretty gummed up. Dried up oil looks a lot like rust. I use Break Free as its worked for me for about 30 years. There are issues that can be caused by improper cleaning. A lot of people clean semiautomatics by slopping solvent inside the slide and leaving it to soak with the slide upside down. This allows all that gunk to collect in the firing pin channel. This will cause problems eventually. I've carried a variety of guns under horrible conditions. Never needed a complete strip down. Ultrasonics are over rated in my opinion nephew. I never saw a gun that didnt get its cleaning problems solved with a solvent bath followed by Gunscrubber or Brake Kleen and a proper lube. Start with WD40 if the gun has been immersed in water. You may have to take the side plate off on a revolver.

I didn't read all the replies. Buy it if you like. I've never heard of a case in NJ where someone saved their life with an illegal weapon.

The only time to take a gun all apart is if it's broken.

Are you talking about total strip downs? Totally unnecessary. I have a Combat Commander from 1974. It was used. Got it a complete strip download in 2000 after a bazillion rounds but it was dtopping the hammer to half cock. Had a very competent pistolsmith correct it. Complete deep cleans are a myth.

Buy the gun. Spray it down with alcohol. Won't hurt the gun. Enjoy. Why is this a question?

The problem with this is how much campaigning and how much gym activity goes on.

Looks like Louisiana is double screwed.

Empathy Tex.

I saw a segment on Fox talking about the real estate situation in FL since the COVID stuff started. Houses are selling in FL for well over asking price. Many are selling sight unseen over the internet. A moving company said their business usually peaks in the summer and falls off in August (getting kids in school in September?). Now they're booked through November. 90% of the moves are from NY, NJ, and CT. I think it will slow down when this COVID thing gets under control.

The long wings are the tipoff as @planenut noted. I remember seeing them in the air in Vietnam. They were used as trainers. IIRC they had one 30 Cal machinegun and the capability to carry small bombs and rockets. I'm talking 30 years ago but a friend of mine in flight school had to put some hours in a T6 as a "high performance single engine" before he moved on to twins.

Pussy Galore's flying circus?

The issue, as I see it, is factory 147 gr loads get slowed down by barrel friction. I've seen a little gain in 10" MP5 barrels with 147s. I'm watching for your results.

Good point on the 30 day expemption. I got an exemption once a few years ago. It took 2 weeks to go through. Not too long ago I was getting 2 handguns through a FFL. I talked about getting an exemption and he said they were taking 6-8 weeks. Worth it if you are getting 20 guns. It was faster for me to have him hold the second gun for 30 days.

IIRC you don't need a NICS if the transfer is made between immediate family. You are correct, you still need the permits.

I'm interested in what you find with the 147s. Chrongraphing factory 147s I usually found no velocity gain in carbines. They stayed subsonic. I actually saw some loads lose a bit of velocity in carbine barrels.

Fox just reported the warehouse had 2800 tons of ammonium nitrate. I'm not an explosives expert but do know that ammonium nitrate is about 40% as effective as TNT. You also need a smaller charge of high level explosive to set ammonium nitrate off.

You can get a mushroom cloud from enough high explosive. I've seen mushroom clouds from the 10,000 lb bombs they used to clear LZs in Vietnam. IIRC the cloud is caused by air rushing back to the vacuum caused by the explosion.

I've been reloading nickel cases for over 40 years. The nice thing about them they are easy to clean. However after enough reloads the nickel starts to wear off and they aren't as good looking. Doesnt affect their function just not good looking. Aluminum case ammo was first marketed in the 80s by CCI AFAIK. Most LE agencies don't use reloads. Thats the market that CCI was targeting. Aluminum case training ammo can be made cheaper. CCI made it a point to say the aluminum case ammo was for training not duty use.

FWIW, I have a little experience shooting aluminum case ammo. Never any problems with 9mm or 45 ACP. 38 special would often stick a bit in the cylinder. Aluminum is slicker than steel but not as slick as brass. As I said before nickel plated cases are probably slicker than brass. Any semi auto ought to work no problems with brass.

I've shot very little steel case. Mostly just to try it out and it worked okay. I remember reading a test of wear on AR barrels and they found steel case created more wear. I guess it depends on the gun. I also remember reading a test by Peter Kokalis on a Glock17. He ran 170,000 rds thru the gun, no cleaning, zero malfunctions. He said he usually shot steel case in it as cheap training ammo.

This makes 3 of us. Nickel cases supposedly offer better feeding as they are "slicker" than any of the others. I have no proof for or against this.

.Not trying to bust your chops. Most FFLs will not charge you for storage when you pay for an in stock gun in full. A FFL might charge a storage fee for an online purchase he's holding for you. Keep in mind they're a business. If they're holding your online purchase they are responsible for it.

OP, you're question has pretty much been answered.
