I paid to see it too. There's a support group.

Ohh.. yeah. I have a story about that. Going into the theater, there was a family in front of us who had trouble figuring out how the folding seats worked. I mean these were not bright people. Even they were like "well DUH!" by the time the "twist" was revealed.

Because negative campaign ads can dredge up whatever they like. Do you want them running for six months or four?

3 hours 15 minutes. I got dragged to it by my mom at the age of 8. After my second nap, I was pretty much "when's this going to end, I can't sleep anymore." Also to add to the bad movie list: Krull. It's responsible for what I have come to refer to as the Krull effect. You thought it was awesome as a kid, but then you watch it again as an adult. Also, you guys are concentrating too much on not liking the movie. I'm mean B A D bad. Like Battlefield Earth. THe plot is absurd and made mostly of nonsensical holes. THe costuming is awful, they somehow found a director of photography who believed 78% of all scenes must be dutched, I mean.. as a film it is bad, beyond decent color timing, focus pulling, and exposure the thing was a total waste of celluloid.

OK, so I'm stealing this one from fark, but I figured it'd be more entertaining in this venue with everyone being local, and a large number being of sufficient age to have been catching flicks before hollywood crammed every weekend with the next cardboard flavored megaflop was meant to be a tentpole film. I also bring it up because I have seen some true stinkers in the theater. Some examples: Yor - the hunter form the future. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084935/?ref_=sr_1 Hercules (starring the hulk) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085672/ Of course, highlander 2 the original theatrical cut is one of the worst failures at actually making a film... paid to see that too. Oh yeah and... Megaforce! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084316/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Because it is an election year, and waiting as long as possible lets him deal with the fallout for the minimum length of time whichever way he chooses.

If you have to use less than an ideal sized flat rate box, one of the best strategies I have seen is to put the internal boxes in the tyvek priority envelopes, and glass tap the snot out of the outside box. IMO this is an issue with the packaging like you said. Nah, that looks very much like failure due to the small boxes within beating the heck out of the enclosing box.

Or trying to park in certain areas. Nothing like competing for a scarce resource to bring out the hostility. I've never found it a particularly hostile place. Newark on the other hand seems ot be full of two types of people: First, those who wish they could leave as soon as possible, but know they are stuck there, and take it out on those around them to some degree. Second, those who wish they could leave as soon as possible, can leave, and view any interaction with people as delaying that.

Just so it is clear, normal matches don't require uspsa membership.

Dude, this is more like some diesel locomotive soot from transit that can be clay barred out of the finish. You could fix the little rust spots yourself for a couple of bucks. The hammer is just simply not going to stay a uniform color as it is not stainless, and it is a part that comes in contact with your sweat and body oils. It's what happens with hammers that are in the white. You can keep dropping cash on shipping all you want, it won't change that fact.

August's match is a special classifier. 4-6 of them, we haven't picked them yet. sign up is here http://cjuspsa.coffeecup.com/forms/CJ_08112013_Form/

Really? Mine simply wants declared value for the whole, and only wants specifics on anything over $2k.

No, presumptively legal means that Heller basically said that some regulation is permitted, and some is not. They listed some examples they felt were legal, and then stated that this is not an exhaustive list. Because they said that it was not exhaustive, all regulations are presumptively legal until challenged (more or less). The circuit court basically said... neener neener, we believe in general, we can refuse to make a real decision and pass the buck because this is a regulation that is part of that undefined, presumptively legal pool of state regulations, and since you can carry a gun to hunt and as a security guard, the state has not eliminated every means to bear arms outside the home, so we are presuming that longstanding law does not actually eliminate your 2nd amendment rights, and is thus ok because it has been around a while. It's pretty tortured, but what is to be expected. The NJ constitution says you have a right to self defense. However, if you want a permit, the only way to get it other than for your job, is to have someone try to harm you to the point lethal force would have been justified, and to have failed to kill you, but still actively wants to right now. THEN because the threat is imminent, you might get it after a few court dates sometime in the future. Seems pretty broken to me as a formula.

Bad behavior? Yes. End of society or the mark of rapid moral decline? Did anyone read the article and pay attention to the previous riots in the 80s that were actually riots, and not just technically riots? Seriously, if I saw that I'd tell you I witnessed a couple fist fights and some vandalism. This is more like the mall food court thug. A very pale imitation of the real thing. In the 80s, the Huntington beach crowd had a rep for some pretty severe violence and rioting in the punk and hard core scene. It hasn't been a well behaved place for over 30 years. This isn't new.

The hammer you will probably have to live with unless you aren't going to really use it. Odds are it isn't stainless, and handling it will cause some oxidation. As for the frame, some oil and 000 or 0000 steel wool should fix it up. It's probably just oxidized metal particles from the manufacturing process that are stuck on it. Ruger can replace the hammer, and at worst blast the frame. But this is from normal handling and is something you will have to deal with by normal maintenance anyway. Someone with sweaty hands held it and cocked or decocked it without it getting a wipe down with oil/silicone cloth/etc. Could have been ruger qc, distributor, ffl, or anyone in the chain.

Except that with the affordable care act, your entire medical record is in a database, and that database is open to basically the entire executive branch without a warrant. That questionnaire for the pediatrician, unless I'm mistaken, is just like the medical history questionnaire for an adult, and thus part of your electronic medical record. I find that intrusively unnecessary, and think it is wrong. For myself, I find questions about gun ownership the least intrusive part of it. If the question bothers you, you can answer no without adversely affecting your medical treatment. However, the rest of your medical hsitory is now effectively public information despite such things as HIPPA. It's a scumbag move that only makes sense if you are cut from the same cloth as uberfuhrer bloomberg.

My recommendations. If you are comfortable with clearing malfunctions safely and basic gun handling, a good place to start is the Old bridge rifle and pistol indoor matches first and third friday. Round count is lower, and since you can only shoot at the rear wall, complying with the safety rules is simpler since the range is less 3d for lack of a better description. Since it isn't official USPSA rules, they can be accommodating to newer shooters without all the gear by letting you start form low ready and carry your mags in your pocket. You also only need 3 mags to get through a match 95% of the time. If that intimidates you, try a static steel match. It shares basically the same starting and ending range commands, but you don't have to deal with movement, and the RO can stay close to you the whole time so they can intervene pretty quickly if you do something stupid. You also can get through a match with pretty minimal gear as they usually allow a low ready start with a time penalty. Since it is five strings of five, you can usually get through with only three mags. As for being competitive, don't focus on that. Nobody is showing up to their first match and schooling anyone. It's not the $3000 custom gun that makes it hard to beat someone, it's the $10,000 worth of ammo they have sent down range in matches and practice.

Even if he is right, and it is just to say nuh unh we don't wanna, it makes it cahllengeable.

Well a kid anyway. I don't get people's attitudes on this. It's a yes, no question. Unless you have taken very severe precautions to do only FTF transactions that require no documentation, the yes no question can be answered very easily by going through private sector databases and data mining. Run the probabilities right, and you can get a pretty good guesstimate. The doctor's office is no more or less. I simply don't want a doctor that is an irrational moron about it. what I REALLY, REALLY don't get is the people who react all paranoid (or at least say they would) and then insist the answer is to get all confrontational. It answers the question. You are much better off simply going huh, what? hey you catch tuesday's episode of real housewives of why hasn't someone killed all of you yet for the good off humanity? (or whatever assembled cavalcade of wastes of oxygen people are pretending are important this year).

Mine had swimming pools on the questionnaire. He asked about how hot we have our water heater set and warned us that scald guards are not sufficient repeatedly. He actively could care less about firearms in the home.

It's fallen off the bhw forum, but their CS rep answered a question about chamber dimensions with an answer that a specific clambering was only done for the barrels they supply to rainier arms. Rainier says the 416r steel comes from the same steel mill as h&k barrels come from. Which is pretty much meaningless name dropping. I could sell an 8620 bolt and say it comes from the same mill that supplies colt with their steel. It'd be true because carpenter makes both alloys. It's a meaningless statement without further qualification. 416r steel rod is in theory the same. In practice you can get meaningful differences for barrels with how it is quenched and heat treated. H&k 416 have chrome lined barrels and aren't stainless as far as I can tell.

Yes, and I'd buy a bolt in an instant. But UNtil recently you couldn't find much in the way of BCGs. Now you can, but not just bolts. carriers don't wear out as often as bolts. I don't need one bad enough to buy the whole group though.

I don't think that is really fair to noveske. They choose and source their alloy/stock themselves, it's on their tooling, to their specs, using up unscheduled time in the pac-nor shop, which one can only assume the pay for the labor, and finish machined at noveske's shop. SO they didn't make the capitol investment in the machinery, and they don't do payroll and benefits handling for the machinists. Their CMV barrels have been made by FN though if that is what you mean, although I believe their QC specification is tighter than a lot you will see coming out the door as FN makes a lot of barrels for a lot of people. I'm assuming chambering is part of what happens at the noveske end of things. Perhaps profiling as well. The late Noveske was also formerly a pac-nor employee and in theory knows his stuff about barrels. The performance of the differing specified material and dimensions would imply he knew what he was doing. The majority of rainier's stuff is from black hole weaponry or was at some point anyway (select and match, but not ultramatch). Albeit in some profile and chamber combinations not offered if you buy from them direct. IIRC the rainier standard contour is a little less meaty than the BHW standard contour.

by polishing, you smooth it out. IT will be less grippy and more slick. Especially if your hands are sweaty or there is any lube on it. If it penetrates the surface hardening created by the tenifer process, yes, it will scratch easily, and you will notice scratches much more because it is smooth and polished. If you just polish the outside of the barrel, no, it should not affect performance unless you are removing enough material form the barrel hood and the slide to affect lock up. In terms of affecting the function of the firearm, I would NOT want a gun like a glock with a broad flat slide top to have a highly polished slide. The glare off of it under the right lighting will negatively impact one's ability to get a decent sight picture. While I think the polished two tone look can be nice, I don't really like it on a glock, and I do not like it on anything from a practical point of view.

Nah, not a gun problem. Just that something like a lever gun with a number of post rifling cuts/machining is likely to bring that fact to light more readily.
