As a mil order business, they are required by law to do this with backorders that go unfulfilled for an extended period. I forget the time required, but you get to notices of delay with an option to cancel without charge, and then you get a cancellation notice with the option to just wait it out. Back before the internet became a place to shop, you'd get postcards in the mail with the reference to the chapter and verse they were being compliant with. IIRC it was 90 days to first notice, 30 more days to second, 30 more to third. The reality is that manufacturing of ammo had been cranked down a LOT from the last peak. Accordingly, standing orders for raw materials, planchets, etc. were cut back as well. That's all ramping up again, but in the meantime there's a multi year backlog on orders which may change drastically based on the state of the industry. Nobody knows when they are getting anything, and how much it will be when it hits. Last serious shortage, it was metal prices plus wartime supply orders hitting along with a post 9-11 surge in gun ownership and prepping. You didn't know when you were getting or how much, but pretty rapidly it was understood that when production and components WERE allocated for civilian sales, you were at least getting a brief sip from a firehose. For the 2008 panic, they had upgraded the firehose and weren't facing as much military competition for capacity as well as much less awful metal prices. However, they were running the supply chain pretty lean due to the 2010 election and some very aggressive holiday buying. Right now, we have unprecedented demand from us, and a not quite as large, longer duration contract from DHS. Add to that pretty much everyone is asking jsut how much will the gun owning public actually spend before they cry uncle and retail order cancellations send shocks up the supply chain. We are only just coming up on the 90 day mark. We really won't know how bad it is for at least 90 more days. We've hit supply chain scarcity way earlier than last big shortage. If you see supplies of foreign ammo completely dry up because they are getting premium prices for components from US manufacturers with less importation hassle, and all the places that jsut sell bulk jacketed bullets switch over to all 9mm 124 and barely have that in stock, then we are really pushing the capacity to manufacture.

I know who it is SUPPOSED to be, but I had the same thought.

They store a lot of expensive and regulated items there, they don't want you casing the joint. This applies to a lot of places that sell guns and keep a significant inventory on premises. They also don't want you taking pictures of customers on the range. There are a ton of reasons that all boil down to not wanting to deal with the consequences of people on the range doing something stupid because of the act of taking pictures. Ask for permission explaining what you want to do, you may get a yes or a no, but you greatly increase your odds of a hassle free existence by asking first when there is a posted policy against it.

hmm it appears my premiumness has broked. Appears I'm very broken, as I know I had premium status past when paypal has the last log of billing.

Only power factor affects hit factor. Division changes what the 100% hit factor is for the classifier as determined by USPSA. Open tends to have a higher 100% hit factor than limited which is higher than produciton (most of the time, there are a couple classifiers where production shooters kicked ass when setting the high hit factor and GM is actualy harder in production than limited). SO for example, the 100% hit factor for a classifier might be 11 for open, 10.2 for limited, and 9.8 for production. Anthony is open minor U pending finding his division and class info. So his hit factor won't change going to production as minor is minor.

Can't say I was buying any Remington firearms, but I can say I've bought plenty of Remington accessories and parts from freedom group corporations. I'm done with them. No more.

Look, this is a gray area because the statute says not a heck of a lot besides the capacity must be no more than 15. Temporary blocks have been both officially ok and officially forbidden. The details are in the administrative guidelines. The reality is if it gets to arguing, with the right tools you can make a 40 rounder out of multiple ten rounders. So at some point you will have to argue what is permanent or not. The federal mag ban was written more intelligently because it addressed manufacture as well as possession.

Lots of revolvers today. We may actually pay out for the division.

The message SHOULD be we are taking the $20 million scheduled for improvements AND the 1300 jobs because of your legislation that endangers our bottom line.

And it used to be that way. Now there aren't places to commit them to. What few there are are commercial and are primarily interested in freeing up the bed for someone who will get them paid.

Uhh take a second and think. They weren't telling you what you can't do to your stuff, they were telling you what you can't do to stuff for sale to others. Short of making title 2 items, the batfe tends to stay out of what you do to your own private gear.

Ive been using them at least 5-6 years without issue. Not the longest runtime, but better than I was getting out of the surefires. 4sevens flashlight food have been the absolute longest lasting for me. But they cost twice as much and don't last twice as long. I've been very disappointed in the quality of the last batch of panasonics I got while titaniums were unavailable for a bit. Honestly I like the low priced house brands from reputable places. The stores want to protect their rep, and between the low price and the fact they aren't sold anywhere else, the odds of counterfeiting are low.

You'll get tons of NRA affiliate spam when you join. Other than that a brand new giant botnet recently went active and was shut down. On a mail system I run, we went from about 18% of mail being egregious spam we just drop on the floor to near 40% now back down to the mid teens over the last 3-4 days. It could just be that. To go along with, there have been a number of compromised address books amongst people I correspond with lately.

If you are going to get it worked on, I'd just find a decent smith who will convert it to a series 70 setup, do a trigger job and polish anything that needs it and fit a new bushing well. It might need a new barrel for a proper barrel fitting, but it might not.

norton is malware these days. AVG has sponsored IPSC shooters though.

Sorry, but there IS a problem with militarization of the police. It is probably one of the few bad things NJ is not leading the way on though. We have a lower rate of abusing things like SWAT, TNT, whatever you want to call it, and we have less incidents of critical screw ups like sending them ot the wrong address. When we DO have those screw ups, we have a much lower incidence of anyone getting injured or killed. Personally, the I think we have been spared so far for a couple of reasons. First is because we are very populous and near NYC, and thus the whole swat thing started showing up and getting policy build around it some time ago when people making decisions seem to have been a bit less wackadoodle. Second is because we don't get the money to abuse the way other places do. We tend to be a donor state, so we may not get federal dollars when others don't. When we do, we have larger police departments, so it doesn't go as far. When we get anti terror dollars, it's because we have lots of sensitive places, not because some congress critter went digging for a free check. Also, we have lots of corruption and graft. They'll steal money form departments just as happily and quickly as from me and you.

aaand they're gone.

Hmm, so it is illegal to buy ammo form someplace cheaper than him, and it is illegal to buy accessories he doesn't sell, and it is illegal to do anything but buy complete rifles from people like him. I don't think ignorance factors in here.

I will give you my pre-panic cost breakdowns. Things have gone non linear at the moment, but with price fluctuations for normal issues like raw materials costs rising the ratio stays about the same. I was loading .308 with 155gr hornady a-max bullets, and winchester brass. If I just tossed the brass after one firing, the math worked out to about $0.73 a round, if you waited for a sale on federal gold medal match, it was $1 a round. With just shopping around, about $1.25. If I used the brass three times, it was $0.56 a round. Loading was 155 a-max, 46gr of bl-c2, winchester large rifle primers and winchester brand new brass. Prices have changed on the components, but they have also changed on the loaded ammo. That is without factoring in shipping costs for either. On 7.62x39, youa ren't going to realize real savings because you need to find a source for brass, and you will be buying higher quality projectiles. You actually CAN reload soft steel cases, but dealing with berdan primed cases is a HUGE PITA. Since your commercial competition is steel cased russian stuff, you wil be paying more. If it is to feed an ak pattern rifle, you won't even be buying a lot of accuracy. A 7.62x39 bolt gun though, it totally changes the nature of the rifle from what I understand. For .223, using bulk 55gr JSP with cannelure over 24.5 grains of ramshot tac on once fired lake city, I was doing about $0.286 per round if I jsut tossed the brass after one use. If I go to three uses, It was $0.234 per round. That price held pretty constant over about a 2.5 year period until the panic hit. Price for a case of federal xm193 cost between $249 and $369 shopping for the cheapest price over that time frame with the average price being around $309. There's a fair amount of labor involved for not being a huge savings, however xm193 was about 1.5-2moa with case to case variation, and my hand loads were clocking in about 1 MOA out of my 1:7 chrome lined 16" CHF barrel while being less blasty but still making my comp work well. I was down on velocity over xm193 by about 200fps.

You look to have reamed the crimp away rather than swaged it, and you aren't getting any lateral expansion of the primer or the radius of the primer cup getting squared by being pushed ahrd against the breech face. So, I'd say getting to the high pressure end with a sloppy firing pin to firing pin hole fit? Do the paperclip test and measure your case heads to see if the brass is getting really stretched out.

No idea, but in the past cabelas technical support has been helpful. I had a situation where they ahd a 3 pack of 10 round 10/22 mags they wouldn't sell to NJ because someone had tagged it as having a capacity of 30 rounds. It took a few days to resolve, but I actually was able to call get it escalated enough to get an explanation and escalated again to get it fixed.

As I understand it, you need to have the purchase approved on departmental letterhead, and if you stop working for that department, you are supposed to dispose or destroy. I've known guys who have gotten their department to write them the letter for their personal stuff that would never, EVER be considered for on duty or official off duty use. Regardless, they have the letter, and they got it legally. How long it remains legal, and if they will be compliant with the law as written is another matter. As for the transport of a currently NJ legal 12 round mag into NY by an off duty LEO federally authorized to carry? Not a frikin clue about practical considerations, but given the letter of the law, not legal. How's it feel to be just like everyone else?

No, there just isn't a strong argument to be made about what exists in NJ. Being armed in NJ is considered fundamentally illegal and you are granted exceptions to that legality. This is not an approach that is historically tenable for an enumerated right that has been incorporated. As for the apparent competence, that's just NJ tradition, why do you think whenever we get sued seriously they always hire outside counsel? It's because we historically employ cronies rather than competent individuals.

DING-DING!!!! UPS stores are franchises, thus you are not handing the gun over to a common carrier, thus it is against the law. You need an actual customer counter or schedule a pickup by the UPS guy who actually works for UPS. ORM-D is different, and I know they are changing some of the rules this year, so ammo might be hit or miss. You can definitely do whatever is needed at the customer counter.
