No. Hate them. Not real fond of having to put up with the stench, and frankly some cigars + some people = breath like you poop out your mouth. Not sure what the formula is, but man when that dire equation hits right it's pretty nasty. You asked.

Morpho told me more or less: Here's your receipt, don't lose it, don't mess it up. Your PD may or may not require it to complete your application, you should call them and confirm what they want. The PD didn't want it.

Yes. Pretty much there are only two things that are oging to mess it up. Something happens that is sufficient to distort the underlying metal. In which case it will flake in that place and the flaking will not spread. The underlying metal is not corrosion resistant, and the metal corrodes underneath the coating as it is not a non-permiable barrier.

Gimicky guide rods are allowed in productiona s long as they don't put you over the +2oz of stock weight limitation.

No, I absolutely don't have to like country music. I don't have to like it one little bit. Not even when you take manufactured, autotuned female vocalist pop crap (which I hate in any form) and call it country, and not when you take a shot and a beer bar band playing rock and roll (which I might or might not like on a case by case basis) and call it country. Not that there aren't some I like, or can at least tolerate listening to, but I don't have to, and going through the process of being marketed as "country" is a pretty solid warning flag that I won't like it. Manufactured crap is manufactured crap.

If it is just a stainless pistol barrel, I would recommend ionbond diamond black which is a PVD titanium carbon nitriding process. A whole gun runs about $300, Small parts run as little as $15. given it is just a barrel, shipping anywhere is cheap. Ionbond does have an east coast facility, but doesn't accept work directly. springer precision in oregon is their official firearms service reseller. http://springerprecision.com/ionbond.php I had them do my gun. I don't know that I would go with it for a whole non stainless gun, but for stainless parts, it's definitely very viable. Email them and ask what a barrel would cost. I suspect it is under $150 by a reasonable chunk.

and I know or have known many That right there is either a lie or a gross exaggeration. If he does know many people who carry with a mindset like that, it's probably family. If that's the case, it doesn't surprise me the people he knows are bigots, as it seems to run in the family.

That might be because they have a whole shelf of 1911s, most of which cost them more to put on the shelf, and make them more money when they leave with a customer. Just saying. I haven't heard to many consumer horror stories on line, only grumbly dealers. For every other make, I hear grumbly owners and dealers saying you only hear the complainers. I don't see why the pattern of the unhappy customer being overly loud would suddenly be reversed for this one brand. It certainly isn't reversed for their revolvers or other semi-auto pistols.

IF I were the victim of his stupidity, even if he apologized to me in person, I would want him to own up to being a dumbass in the same venue he acted like a dumbass. Even if I don't frequent that venue. If you act like a jerk to me, apologize to me, but nobody knows and you still tell the friends you were showing off ofr that you were awesome and did nothing wrong, the apology is pretty much worthless and self-serving.

There ARE a lot of very silent people in this state. I know a lot of people who own guns who wouldn't tell 99.999% of people about them, and would never bring it up in conversation on a general social level. You wouldn't know unless you were in their home regularly, treated like immediate family, AND guns came up in conversation. Sometimes even then not unless a little drinking had been going on to get them talkative. This state is historically hostile to a lot of categories of people, not just gun owners.

I'm with the non-namers. However, the Frankengun ar-pattern guns are getting a tad ambiguous.

Hey, is 10am sign up starts, or shooting starts. I'm assuming shooting, so when is sign up? When does it usually get done? I'm still trying to squeeze this into my schedule.

That's because for most cases barrel length doesn't make a huge impact in terms of quality of stabilization. For problems, the bullet is either being spun to fast, or too slow. A longer barrel might geta heavier bullet spun fast enough compared to a shorter barrel of the same twist rate, and might get a lighter bullet to reach max spin and shoot like crap, but the sweet spot is going to be approximately the same. That also depends on how fast you are pushing the bullet. a 20" 1:9 sould shoot 50gr to 62gr pretty damn well. 45s can be pushing it but success is not uncommon, same for 68gr. If you are hand loading, you can probably find a load that shoots those fringe weights pretty well.

Depends on how many firearms you own, and if you want them covered for depreaciated value or replacement value. (this really applies to more things than just firearms). My homeowners premiums are reasonable, and I'm dealing with the exact same agent who wrote my renters policy when I had a firearms rider. The reality is I want replacement cost, and they were not cost effective, so I dropped the rider and carry separate insurance. As for liability for injury.. no it hasn't made a difference in premiums as actuarial tables are powered by math, not emotions. The reality is they are on the hook for WAY, WAY more possibilities than injury from firearms that are just as likely to hit the policy limit on damages, and most of those possibilities are statistically much more probable to occur than the firearms injury.

I'm under 40, and have been called for jury duty something like 12 times since I was 18. I've gotten out of a few because you don't have to serve again within X years. To the best of my recollection, LEO can't serve on grand jury, and were exempted form petit jury until they changed the rules so that public workers don't get the $5. Why baffles me, as except on maybe a civil suit over contract stuff, a cop is NOT going to make it through voi dire. It's a waste of everyone's time and just slows things down. I do find people bitching about NJ jury duty when they don't get attached to a nasty criminal case to be laughable though. At a previous job, our customers were all over the country. One interrupted a project for jury duty in the middle of nowhere in the pacific northwest. 1 day/1 trial is a CAKEWALK compared to theirs, which is 3 weeks as many trials as they can get done, or one trial that exceeds 3 weeks. Hell I made an effort to dodge federal grand jury. That stuff was like 1 day a week for 18 weeks.

Did you even look at the pic of the round? It's not .444. It's some thing formed from 444 as the parent case if he's putting up pics of the actual ammo. Also, that means it is a handload. I wouldn't touch these if you paid me and I knew what they were supposed to fit in.

I've found that simply saying you are a gun owner or work in some field that requires logic and reason is usually enough to get tossed from most cases. Every time I sit on a jury, it's an opportunity to oppose nj's broken laws. Haven't gotten a really good one yet, as the above gets you tossed from pretty much anything criminal.

Is it possible? Yes, it COULD act as a harmonic dampener. Is it probable? No I have yet to see a rifle that didn't need and adjustable dampener to get the benefit, since the harmonic frequency is ammo dependent. So no, but there's a real reason why not.

Your statement is not correct. There are 4 major manufacturers, and the MAJORITY of lowers are done by them. However, not all, and just because the lower is sourced form them does NOT mean they do all the finishing work. Also, large buyers can get some things varied from the main supplier for your lot. So even if you have two CMT sourced lowers, it doesn't mean that (for example) hole spacing is the same. It's still a good thread that is hard to find. As for what justifies the price difference in lowers? Well COMPLETE lowers it is easy. Triggers can cost from about $40 to $400 depending on the quality. Safeties can be from $10-180 depending on qualities and features. Stocks can be $40-$200. Complete lowers can vary a LOT in price. For a stripped lower, it usually means the difference between forged, billet, and features. For forged, anything off a standard forging varies in price mostly due to branding/marketing, TLC in the final finishing touches, and how tight the tolerances are kept for things like hole spacing. For non standard forgings, a lot of the cost is in the non standard forging even existing. That isn't cheap. So stag, PSA, etc can be as cheap as $50 bought in big lots and the only thing differing really is the roll mark and serial. A noveske Gen 2 FFL is about $250. For billet, you see prices ranging form about $130 to $500. The higher prices usually reflects more features that require more machine time and/or a larger starting billet. They also tend to have features that require special lower parts that have to be included with the lower to build a functioning gun. That adds to the price.

That would be why I said "unless someone built a rifle with an undersized gas port". One of the limiting factors on barrel life is gas port erosion. SOmeplace that builds a nice integrated rifle like POS does/has in the past (hedging my statement because I know they changed ownership at one point), in order to a get a nice soft feeling rifle, they will only open up the gas port as much as is needed for their planned gas system. Also, POF rifles are piston guns, not direct impingement. You get all the quirks grafting on a piston system to a DI design gets you. If that's the case, you can either drill the hole out, or install a delrin spacer in your buffer tube and run a carbine buffer system in a rifle length tube.

Most definitely not. In fact the box seems to say 330 JDJ. JDJ automatically means wildcat for the most part, usually means it's for a custom contender barrel. 44. is straight walled, not necked down, and is basically dimensioned like a .44 magnum round, but with an inch longer case.

I might actually make it out this month, we'll see. Looking at the stages for this month, I do have to wonder how one shoots rifle weak hand or strong hand only. Or for rifle do they just go weak side, strong side with two hands?

The buffet system is part and parcel of the gas system. That's why there are multiple weights of buffers for carbine gas systems, and lightened carriers and buffers so you can turn the gas down to an absolute minimum with an adjustable gas block. Unless someone has built a barrel with a seriously undersized gas port, carbine gas plus rifle buffer works fine.

Not to mention if the judge tosses the defense and you lose, you can appeal and try the defense with a new judge. Assuming they don't think you are making too big a stretch too.

That's making the false assumption that drug related crime is only an issue on the supply side. There's a lot of crime committed on the consumption side to fund habits. Generally a legal market open to competition will lower prices, and mean less dollar value of crime to fund habits, and less ancillary crimes addicts wander into rubbing elbows with the dealer network.
