Weekend ranges open at cj?
Most of the things that are on the schedule don't use all of any facility. For example, there are something like 14 pistol pits. I don't think any event this summer will use more than eight.

Pennsgrove middle school on lockdown
You need to RTFA so you aren't calling people out without actually understanding the conversation. The POLICE are charging him. People's aid that's a bit much, and you mr. Smarty pants came in saying they were wrong, he should be punished.

Tumbled brass prices?
just look at the online brass sellers. Below are two biggies, but just google for once fired brass to get a broader range of asking prices. http://store.brassmanbrass.com/servlet/StoreFront http://www.topbrass-inc.com/reloading-supplies/

Legalized pot helps gun owners?
Probably escalate in the short term as factions fight more viciously over a decreasing pile of money, then go away as there's no real attraction to replace the corpses.

Tumbling with Steel Media... WOW!
It's not the steel media per se, it's the rotating tumbler and the mass of the contents that flop around. You can have issues when you use brass and regular media in a cement mixer. Steel media just lets you enjoy those problems with a small tumbler.

OBRPC this sunday?
.22 rifle won't cut it for the knockdown steel. I used to be involved wit the speed on steel match and set up the rimfire rifle side match. I had to use the small steel and set it light. I also tried to use my ..22 a few times at the regular match as an experiment. Using high velocity and aiming real careful for the top 1/2" of target, about 40% of the steel at the average match would go down.

Mossberg 590A1 - purchased :)
Cut down a non youth stock. Get a slip on butt pad for a smaller gun. Viola. You can also get a grind to fit pad meant for a smaller gun.
- Just started... and i can't stop.

AR10 or a Sig 716?
Their .308 guns are much nicer than ther .233 guns. As for their mags, they are nicer than the tons of armalite/m14 frankenmags. They are also the same format as knights armament. The same format armalite started with. The same format as armalite is switching back to. The same format magpul makes mags in. More than just dpms makes rifles that use those mags and uses the dpms upper receiver mating profile. You don't have to get dpms to get those, but you'll have the broadest compatibility and parts selection if you need work done.

USPSA CJRPC 5-13-12
Lots of people out. If we don't get some stage submissions by Friday and some commitment for builders who can show up, we will probably be canceling.

F2F HG sale safe place?
Hmm.. A match open to the public? Valid destination and lots of non-felon witnesses with guns. You probably can't test fire anything unless youa re letting the buyer shoot the match with it, but you can't do that at home either.

Thumbing the Hammer Back in Production
Yeah, but are you winning production? Are you above B? DA first shot is a skill you WILL need to progress and to win. If there are situations where the DA pull is that bad, then you probably need to reconsider your gun of choice. Just because it may not be the easiest skill to get down is no excuse for trying to skip an essential skill. Manually cocking the hammer Fs with your grip. F with your grip and you F with EVERYTHING.

AR10 or a Sig 716?
ditched my AR-10. I will give a couple pieces of advice. 1) think about what you want. Then think about it some more. Then don't cheap out and buy what you want. Tools for them cost more, parts cost more, and theres a LOT more parts incompatibility than an ar-15. You want a cool rail? Odds are a manufacturer's bulk disocunt beats your shopping skills, even if you don't buy the wrong thing. 2) Go with DPMS magazine compatibility, even armalite has given up and realized embracing the aftermarket worked better than isolating yourself from it.

Expensive Lessons Learned about Shotgun Configuration
Ok, for shotguns, this mostly means a certain configuration. "From the factory" with ARs these days means pretty much nothing. As for the OP, I'm a fan of simple, but magazine extensions being gimmicks? Come on. It's capacity. What is it going to snag on that the barrel won't if it doesn't extend past the barrel? Barrel clamps are there to prevent things form slipping between the two and to prevent the extension from being knocked out of alignment and causing feeding issues. I have a +2, and it doesn't poke past the end of my 18.25" barrel. I could get away with a +3 in the same form factor if not in NJ. As for ammo on the gun. I don't like it there, but I do have a side saddle. In an HD situation, I just don't have time for messing with more than the gun and what is attached. For competition, I just don't have enough real estate for all the shotgun ammo I might need. My compromise is a side saddle.

Cr123 batteries
CR123 batteries are about the only thing I WOULDN'T worry about ordering form botach. They used to be the only source of 123s that weren't near pharmacy prices, and had to hold my nose after being screwed on other stuff with them. (my oldest 6p is 16 this year huzzah!). Things that they move by the pallet full and don't come in sizes are usually pretty safe as long as that is the only thing in the order. Still.. no point.. plenty of decent places to order batteries form these days.

Cr123 batteries
Battery junction, titanium brand. Best bang for the buck. Best ones regardless of price I have found lately are four sevens flashlight food.

Range Suggestions
The reason that is is required is that OB is a competition heavy club, you should be aware what is going to be going on for a good chunk of the time, and it isn't a bunch of people milling about plinking. Even if you don't like it, it is a heck of a lot better to dislike it and know than to be thinking you bought into something you didn't after the fact.

I'll be collecting stages, but I won't be there. Vlad will need all the builder help he can get I suspect.

Check Out this muzzle break
Come on. It turns a single point sling from a utilitarian accessory into a daring adventure.

stuff i wouldnt put on my ar...
Since a lot of what you are complaining about are liked by a lot of people, you might want to be more specific about why you don't like them.

Suggest a Smartphone
Well, 1) make sure you got the real, paid version form one of the reputable android app stores (google's marketplace, or amazon are what I would recommend at the moment). There are tons of fakes out there loaded up with malware and viruses for android. People refer to iOS as a walled garden. They call it that because while you may be trapped in it, it's got it's advantages, otherwise they'd just call it prison.

Caliber laws?
There's gotta be some sort of way around that. A sporting purposes waiver or something. Cause there's the 700 nitro express and 4 bore out there unless every one is under a DD stamp.

Saw this today! - Russia Threatens Preemptive Strike
Russia has already preemptively struck treaty nations to disrupt the missile shield. What do you think the whole thing with Georgia was? I'm pretty sure we aren't the ones being directly threatened.

ballistic test media
Yeah, read up on people's experience with it. It really is a waste of money. Hard to reuse, opaque, not equivalent to gel, no adjustment available, preserves temporary wound cavity. It's junk.
