In some states, no not to work on state residents firearms (at least that's what I ahve been told). In NJ, definitely yes, as you need a permit or an FFL to affect a transfer. Regardless of the actual limit of the letter of the law, you save yourself problems with just getting the FFL that outweigh the hassle of getting the FFL.

They aqren't there to get out of the hood. They are there to chane the voting profile of the district the housing is in.

It really depends on your dies (how much they guide the bullet in), your bullets (profile, hardness, plating thickness, and what the jacketed you are coming from were like), you (what you consider jsut enough, and how straight you place them) and to a small extent your press (mostly with how square everything is). Plated are more delicate when it comes to doing battle with the case mouth, so they need to seat closer to vertical than jacketed do. If you compromise the plating, and you are dealing with higher velocities, you can start stripping the plating and accuracy can go to hell. For example, the lee powder through belling die is a nice belling die. It flares and expands in a good ratio. It'll do plated, moly coated lead, lead, and jacketed just fine wiht nothing more than a little twist in or out. OTOH, the hornady powder through expander for their powder drop die in .40 sucks. It just expands and does not bell properly, especially earlier revisions, and it doesn't expand enough to help the bullet seat to a vertical position. If you don't jam it in there, it is pretty much the die ramming it against the case mouth that orients it. It SUCKS for moly coated lead that is made form soft swaged lead wire. It worked so-so on softer plated bullets. Harder ones it was ok for. I moved to a powderfunnels.com universal belling insert along with the hornady powder measure stop, and had much better luck at a universal setup that works with whatever I throw at it. My recommendation is to make a dummy round and pull the bullet after. You will look for a few things. If you are too tight, even without pulling the bullet, you will see the plating shave, or serious gouging, you need more belling. If you don't, pull it and check for minor scraping/shaving damage. You can pretty much eliminate it by adjusting the belling. you also have to care more about crimp with plated. The jackets on jacketed bullets are springy. Plated, lead, and moly coated lead are ductile and tend to hold a shape. If your crimp is too severe, you will get a dented ring around the bullet with those bullets. In .45 this never caused me issue. With soft moly coat in .40, getting rid of it increased accuracy. It also decreased leading because on moly, that crimp dimple was enough to occasionally compromise the coating. With plated, you'll jsut get the dent, it shouldn't compromise the plating even on soft plated bullets like rainier. Hard plated bullets like xtreme it takes a LOT of crushing to compromise the plating. Also, with plated or moly coated lead that will hold their shape and don't have a crimp groove, do NOT roll crimp. Taper crimp only. I've used the lee factory crimp die on plated without issue, but on moly coated lead, it undersized the bullets and accuracy went to hell. Mic your dummy bullets that you pull before you seat them and after you pull them. If they are getting undersized, ditch your FCD for a normal taper crimp die without the sizing ring at the base.

primary arms has good retail prices on them and had stock yesterday.

Yeah, for anyone trying out plated.. one thing to check is try shooting relatively close up to a cardboard target, like 5 yards. See if you see pinwheels of lead around the bullet hole. If you do, you are compromising the plating. It may still work fine for you, but there is accuracy to be picked up adjusting your reloading process (usually belling and seating). If pushing them really hot, you may need ot back down on velocity.

Although I dislike what was done, I do have to wonder why this board always goes to the absurd and wants punishments outside the law. Heck, I'd be happy to see the law enforced and some common sense workplace discipline. The guys were using their company cars to conduct non company business and break the law. Give them the appropriate moving violations and probation for the theft of services. Then, like a teacher who would buy booze for students, fire their asses. If they don't have the time in to secure their pensions, tough. If they were under duress from a superior, maybe cut them some slack and suspension without pay for a bit, a crap assignment for a while, and some unpaid community service.

I've been happy with various brands of plated in multiple guns. I had trouble pushing berry's past 900 fps in my stock m&p. Thought it was the bullets, but it turned out to be the barrel. One land/groove transition was extra sharp and would cut the plating. Found out it had issues when I tried moly coated lead and the one side of one groove leaded insanely while the rest of the barrel was fine. After I got more .40 pistols, I tried some of the leftover ammo and it was fine in them as well as the new barrel in my m&p. For the same charge, they will generally be faster.

Once again, nordic components "tactical" comp. it will allow you to fit a .750 gas block over it.

subscribed as well. It seems like even if they buy the gear, they can't balance a wheel for beans. It'd be nice to find a shop that can get something done as nicely as a wheel and tire set from tire rack or discount tire direct.

Buy form a NJ dealer. you won't save much shopping the internet for an M&P so the only point is if you are having trouble finding one. Going to cabelas willd efinitely cost you more. The SKU for the two tone FDE carry package in .40 is 150987 The SKU for the two tone FDE carry package in 9mm is 150986 Any dealer should be happy to order you the .40 sku as it has 15 round mags, which is the legal limit in NJ. For the 9mm sku, you should ask if they will accept delivery of an item with over capacity mags and modify or sell without the mags. S&W DOES make 15 round 9mm mags. ( http://www.gandrtact...ction&key=39498 ) An unless you cna powder coat plastic, no, you can't have the frame powder coated.

Choate is cheaper. It has a plastic end cap. It probably won't fail, however you may be spending more time messing with clipping the spring and farting around with an emory cloth on a dowel. The main functional advantage of the nordic is that they taper/chamfer the transition area to try to facilitate smooth feeding. Choate does not, and the most common problem is shells hanging up at the transition. That usually can be fixed with some judicious use of abrasives. Wtih the nordic, I did a very light chamfer on the opening of the magazine of the gun as a preventative measure. I mean VERY light, and have had no issues. I've been busy, so only have my initial test of #6, #7 1/2, #8 bird shot (high brass and low brass) , 12 and 9 pellet buck shot, and reduced recoil and normal 1oz slugs which spanned a whole bunch of countries of origin, and actual shell length (all labeled 2 3/4"). It was all pretty smooth. FYI, the finish on the nordic is pretty close to the stock finish on the waterfowl as you can see in my pictures.

I never heard of lines of credit getting dumped, but there was definitely a big bloodletting over card services years ago with lots of vendors complaining about getting dumped directly on either the high road or the firing line forums. BoA was one of the dumpers. Lots of bs about liability that made no sense.

My take is that if you are going to claim you are morally stringent, you should be diligent enough to police your employees properly on the way in.

For what/to determine what? Shotguns are not my forte, so I'm kind of winging it on the evaluation. I've been running a variety of ammo through it, and the plan is to try a case of whatever feels softest in the first eval, and see when I have issues. If you mean for evaluating the extension, if it's going to be a pita, it usually lets you know in a couple of boxes or less based on the feedback of others.

The miad had a front strap available with a built in plastic trigger guard. No idea if it is still available.

I haven't been paying attention to the nugent thing, and didn't know that was the quote people are getting upset over. Seeing it I. This thread without the attribution (skipped to the end), it could just as easily be implying the speaker expected to be the target of a witch hunt and wind up either in jail or getting ruby ridged.

Yes, charge can affect cleanliness of the powder. Titegroup in 147pf 9mm using 124gr heads burns a lot cleaner than Titegroup used in 172pf .45 with 230gr heads. It's powder dependent, but yeah, you probably aren't imagining things.

Doesn't need to be stolen, it has to be provided to the telemarketers somehow for compliance. Some will abuse it. ALL, and I mean EVERY ONE, will be on your number like white on rice if you don't renew your number after your entry expires.

4+1

That's the problem. The drama is low grade drama. There are really only two choices. Crank it up to full stupid, which won't look good for gun owners, or let run its course and end. I think there are people to watch shooting shows in reasonable numbers. I just think the programmers are going ot have to keep it fresh. I could see something like joes vs. pros for shooting have a solid season or two, something where experts in their niche challenge a peer to try and outdo each other. There are ideas to be explored. Watching mostly polite but competitive guys explain that they intend to win this every five seconds isn't that compelling.

It's called surplus for a reason. SOme surplus is jsut old inventory, some is REALLY old inventory, some is not so old but just being surplussed to cycle in fresh stock, some is surplus because it doesn't meet specs, and some is suplus because it is downright dangerous. Heck, we all thing xm193 is decent stuff now. Back when the surplus 193 was REALLY cheap, you didn't buy the bulk xm193PD boxes because they were questionable. mangled case necks, Severely dented shoulders, blowing out primers, etc. You can probably still find pics online of the infamous pretzel (dunno if that was ever confirmed legit).

So is their some kind of kickback or something? I've been told they usually operate on a 2-3% margin on average, which on $50 is $1-1.50. It sounds bad, but we all have a REALLY poor concept of how much gas they pump. A small station with a couple 4 nozzle pumps in a decent location can pump 100,000+ gallons a month. A couple went up for sale by me, and I was shocked at the volume they moved.

I never brought that up, but since you did, we'll go with it. My point has nothing to do with the justification of force. It has to do with the delivery of it. In that instance that case was close to typical for nypd. The majority of shooting officers unloaded most of their magazines hitting about 40%. Nypd bats below average. Average for the industry is close to 50% miss, and usually a lot of shots are fired although i suspect current training trends are moving away from "shoot the whole magazine and reassess". You don't hear a lot of stories about cops killing innocent bystanders. I suspect you risk assessment is dookie.

The nordic tactical comp will allow you to gt a gas block off over it and is reasonably effective. $40 too, so not pricey either. http://shop.nordiccomp.com/Nordic-Components-Tactical-Compensator-223-Black-Oxide-CMP-TC-22-BK.htm
