  1. There's already a police range very neat by maybe 1/4-1/2 mile from the UPS customer counter. There are lots for sale/lease along the road connecting them, so even if it isn't "in" raritan center, it might be close enough you couldn't tell that.
  2. If you are going to have a crap policy, nice to see the cops not getting exempted. Still stupid though.
  3. Any guesses about when we can start asking about etas again?
  4. Well let's say you'd move 12 of those lowers in a month and made $50 each for $600. Now they are going to be lucky to get 4 in a month. That's $150 you need to tack on rather than $50. If cost to them was $100, that's $250. It goes up quickly. However to the ffls and others fanning the flames, barring a ban, the price WILL go down. We simply have too much manufacturing capacity, and current conditions will leave those manufacturers more margin to survive fluctuations, not less. Who retails what and entities like spikes/bcm/etc. may change up. First time I built an at there was no panic, and brass cased ammo was $3.50 a box. Wolf was $2.25. The cheapest stripped lower I could find was $125. Raw materials are higher, and there has been inflation, and lowers better than that $125 one were on sale regularly for $79.99 and discounted to $50 at regular intervals. We sure as hell aren't going to anchor and set a $250 for a $50-80 lower. Once demand slows, the price will drop slowly right up until the gunshop with sunk cost inventory stuck on the shelf wants to pay some bills and stay open at the same time the manufacturers don't want to be paying for idle workers and machines, and the hoarders decide their 10 spare lowers aren't needed that badly given they have 6 built up rifles to boot.
  5. Not at 1meter resolution you aren't.
  6. Or not. You come in with something stupid like this that probably can't even get out of committee, work the press hard, and smile that the opposing party chairs the committee that has to shut down things that aren't even vaguely constitutional or practicable. No risk of having to live with the consequences of it passing, and you get to say the chair is pro kindergarten massacre next election cycle. At least that's my guess give the presence of pump action shotguns in there.
  7. As of now uspsa is on, but it is not this sunday as the 6th is the first Sunday, not the second.
  8. You are probably correct. My guess is that cabelas got confused if electronic hearing protection was clear or wasn't., and then mis coded for firearms accessories.
  9. You missed the really pertinent question: who is paying you to go door to door. You also should have offered to drop her off in the middle of Camden after dark if she was so certain we live in a society where we don't need guns.
  10. Why is it there are so many people who don't grasp the concept of freedom of speech. You can say whatever you want. No guarantee is made to provide you with a venue, an audience, or freedom from consequences resulting from what you say. You are guest in someone else's venue. You live by their rules or you pay rent for the venue.
  11. But they have been paid more, especially in new jersey, it doesn't get you quality as someone solely motivated by compensation in that job isn't going to be terribly good at it. I'd argue as an institution teaching is broken. A teaching degree is more focused on the technique of administering education than methods of educating. The more advanced the teaching degree, the more likely that is. Then there's the issue of level of education in their subject area.
  12. No need to send the unsolicited DVD back. You didn't ask for it and cannot be required to pay for it or return it at your expense. If they want to pay for a courier to come to a place of your choosing at a time of your convenience, maybe you would have some obligation, but I still doubt it. If you want, watch it. If not, toss it in the trash. When they send you the hassling letters, ignore it. When the annoying duche calls you pretending you'll go to collections, ask for their identifying info so you know what to put on the police report and if they could make a clear and concise statement to aid rapid prosecution that a request for payment for an unsolicited item sent via USPS is being made as well as an implication of financial obligation under threat of being sent to collections. They will go away. As for the NRA wasting their time with this crap, call them and tell them how you feel about being sent bogus threats by mail verging on fraud as a member benefit. They will cease soliciting you by mail.
  13. Stainless dissipates heat just fine. It's just not as hard as a chrome lining and the throat erodes faster due to that. If you are shooting full auto or even doing rapid fire magazine dumps all day, chrome lined usually lasts longer. The alloy of steel makes a huge difference. Stainless are usually more accurate because the process of chrome lining a barrel can reduce accuracy. You have companies that specifically try to bridge accuracy and durability. Noveske uses a proprietary stainless steel alloy that is pretty durable. Criterion uses a different approach to caroming to make a tough accurate barrel. Then you have a number of companies that use cmv barrels and then melonite them inside and out. It makes them corrosion resistant and has very high surface hardness. As for no break, it's just a crowned barrel. They usually do a target crown, and not cutting threads results in a more accurate barrel as cutting the threads often distorts the last bit of rifling.
  14. There will be a bill. Lobbying for twenty rather than lobbying for "go die in a fire you scum" really won't do you any good. You lobby for what you want.
  15. Over the last 20 years, household ownership rates have been between 40-47% and individual ownership has been between 29-36%. The number varies with polls. Firearms ownership is higher among actual voters by exit poll. Firearms ownership was removed from the exit polling questions in 2010 IIRC. For 2012 IIRC individual ownership was about 32% and household was like 45%. So given 313 million in the is, that'd be just over 100 million people, and about 51 million households.
  16. My 5.56 kit. (scales, calipers, and other heavily shared items not included) Rcbs bench swager. Got it on sale for $63. Saves huge amounts of time and energy on crimped primer pockets. Rcbs trimmer with 3 way cutter. You can chuck up a drill, but I can go faster by hand. Lee hand primer 2x 50 round cartridge specific loading blocks. Hornady l-n-l powder measure ( best bang for the buck by a huge margin) on a stand. Satern aluminum funnel. Yeah, it's a $12 funnel and is cartridge specific But it is actually static free, and powder gets in the case at the speed of gravity, not the speed of futzing with adapters and a $3 plastic funnel that is theoretically static free. Lee turret press (the newer steel version). It's affordable, consistent, strong, and lets me leave my dies set up. The way overpriced competition is not worth a price premium that can cover the majority of the rest of this list. Die set with small base resizing die. It's not much more effort, and you don't have to worry about which guns need a small base die and which don't. Other than small base, it becomes personal preference about brand really fast. I'm running a small base x-die for resize, a redding competition seating die, and a lee fcd for crimp. Sizing wax. (one shot spray WILL have asking how you get stuck brass with no case rim left or no case head at all out of a resizing die) I'm running a huge tub of wax that is a knockoff of royal. It was in stock, cheaper, and still smells like carnauba, bees wax, and lanolin except with more lanolin. Love the smell. Unless you are going for a 1050 set up to trim and swage, you have to take each piece out and trim, then you have to take a long pause to ensure the powder drops. Then I just batch load through the stages. At a reasonable pace, 200 rounds took me about 3.5 hours starting with tumbled lake city with the primers still crimped in. I can visually verify powder drop, and inspect a whole block at once for powder charge uniformity.
  17. Also, it's one thing to not question the validity of orders in the face of the law, it's another thing to go play Russian roulette with a very high frequency. That's assuming they could even figure out where to look other than hitting every house and having jumped the hurtle of invoking the taking clause and funding compensation. Take the desk jockeys out of the equation. Take the guy who will snatch stuff and line his own pockets out of the equation after a little bit of rinse and repeat. Same for the long line of cops who spent hours napping in their cruiser (or other non-sanctioned recreational activity) down in the parking lot at the end of my street, take out the normal level of churn you see in higher risk departments. You didn't have enough man power before. You think all of the above are going to put it on the line to regularly risk picking a nasty fight with lots of people who are perfectly good neighbors in towns everywhere? Even if they do, how do you think the neighbors will view even the incidents that just have swat teams kicking down the neighbor's door, forcibly subduing them out on the lawn, and then having the cops steal their stuff? I think that might possibly make the populace not be keen on their leaders just for making them feel like they might be next, and next time might be worse, even without it degrading to a shooting fight.
  18. Moisture will mess up ballistic panels. It can degrade the fiber, but it also affects the mechanical interface between fibers, and the weave and interaction under impact due to the weave is what makes ballistic panels resistant. To the best of my knowledge, NIj rated stuff has to have a moisture barrier for the panels. I have NO idea how that would stand up to submersion and for how long. Also if you are going to test, remember a panel needs to have support on the back face to function properly. In testing, a big pile of modeling clay is usually used. I don't know if a rigid surface negatively affects performance, but just letting it hang in the air significantly reduces its resiliency to bullets.
  19. So she wants to make semi auto weapons title ii weapons (would technically probably create a title iii) and close the registry on them immediately. Good luck with that passing muster with the current SCOTUS rulings and the reality of actual crime statistics. I doubt taking what makes up probably 90% or more of the current firearms market and heavily restricting them will pass muster as regulation for a compelling interest.
  20. It's a venue of expression at least. If your opponent goes there to be heard, you better go there to get heard, or you risk the chance of your silence being counted as agreement in that venue.
  21. As long as the legislative fight goes on plus 6-11 months.
  22. No. Half assed is where they stake it and miss the screws. You can't fix that. You don't like this, just stake then yourself.
  23. It has been studied. You will find studies that say it absolutely does, and ones that say it absolutely does not. Most are horribly constructed, and the better ones on both sides basically boil down to anything highly stimulating increases expression of their violent behavior analog immediately afterward.
  24. IT depends. Hormel has gotten to the point where they say they have no idea how long spam will last, but their 50 year old samples are safe to eat. They make no claims of knowing what the nutritional value of them are at that point, nor what they will taste like. Anything where the can has to have a lining will probably be toast within a year of the sell by date, especially acidic tomato stuff. Dry pasta if repackaged better will last a really long time.
