Stuck with hacket maybe? Although I don't remember that one, so it might not be.

What do you do with all those free Cabela plastic ammo boxes?
Leave them at cabelas because they aren't free. Even when I DO buy ammo from cabelas, I leave them. I haven't found an ammo deal there yet that wasn't either beaten by a good chunk elsewhere, or available as a slighlyt better deal a couple aisles over without the "free" box. As far as I can tell, the box costs you between $5 and $10. Now if you need one, and need the ammo that makes it a $5 deal, by all means take it. It beats paying $14 for the box.

Please stop reloading ammo, it's dangerous.
US government and wal-mart is my guess. wal-mart contract prices leave little margin on a good day. When commodities go up, it leaves negative margin. Also, WWB is contracted out to far away lands because domestic production capacity is better spent on higher margin products. So when there's production line capacity, WWB is from the US. When people are buying tons and there's demand for other products as well, the overflow gets contracted out. When the lines get to 100%+ capacity, service intervals get pushed as well. Which means worn dies stay in service, calibration intervals are longer, etc. When demand peaked with hoarding plus massive military buys of 9mm, most WWB was not american made, and pretty much any component manufacturer was churning out 9mm for someone to make contract deadlines. precision delta's 124gr 9mm vanished for a while due to that.

NJ Officers find 330 weapons in mans home
Yeah, but as always, and in all 50 states, the question is will they all come back, and if so what condition will they be in.

Trigger modification fail
You can get a pretty nice trigger with only glock OEM parts. You can also get a gun that goes full auto by messing with OEM glock parts slightly. The answer is know what you are doing, pay someone who knows what they are doing, or leave it alone. I usually stick to the latter two unless it's an arts & crafts project for a learning experience.

Build your own
Good advice, except I would start without the budget, but with building your ideal gun on paper and price it out with some online windows shopping. When that makes you choke, it makes it easier to know which parts you need, want, and really want. At least for me.

Build your own
Actually most of the savings is the excise tax not being involved in a self build. Most DIY parts are marked up a LOT compared to what someone who orders even 25 at once much less hundreds. Most of that markup covers the cost of employees/whatnot. My TIME to put one together? Minimal. Heck, the last lower I got that I had all the parts on hand was assembled and function tested (dry fire) in less than 30 minutes. The upper takes a bit longer, but not much unless there are problems to be fixed except for a few key operations that are either not necessary outside NJ, or are outying cases because I like what I like. Buying good instead of cheap avoids most of that. 3 yeas ago, no pre-built would have come CLOSE to my $1500 price for a similar gun. However, we have had a massive proliferation of black rifle parts resellers and assemblers. And actually, my time IS pretty much free. Unless you know of someone willing to pay by the hour for my few unoccupied hours in the evening, it's not like there is opportunity costs beyond what hobby I spend my free time on. If you are a lawyer or high end accountant or some other profession that can bill out hourly and bill for 70 hours in a day, sure.. that argument makes sense. Most people I find who make it are also choosing between working on some hobby or doing something else that doesn't get them paid. It's a stupid argument.

Are Foregrips Illegal in NJ?
Then why do they sell them at all? Someone might put one on a pistol's light rail, and create an NFA weapon illegally. You-tube is full of idiots who don't know better doing just that and advertising it.

USPSA Magazine Says Del-Ton High Quality Uppers and Parts
Del-ton uses a lot of cmt and dpms parts. For their run of the mill guns, the barrels were from mossberg at least as of a few months ago. They have a pretty good track record of answering inquiries about what is what. From customer reviews, the mossberg barrels are ok, nothing stellar. They make a decent affordable AR.

930 SPX + 1 Mag Extension Question. And M2
Ok, I actually weighed it using the weigh yourself with it and without method. The bathroom scale says 8.6 lbs. Which is like 8lbs 10oz. My guess was 8lbs. 12oz. So not too bad a guess.

930 SPX + 1 Mag Extension Question. And M2
There's a slight disadvantage shooting light bird shot at plates at longer distances due to lower muzzle velocity. I think that for the most part it just requires you to make sure you are shooting something a little hotter, and to be choked right for the stage. The NJ legal capacity definitely puts you at a disadvantage. At first, it looks like worst case is you get a 2-5 second penalty for reloading because you are two rounds short. Practically, stages are designed around a 8 or 9 round capacity, and you get screwed with a number of common stage gimmicks and array sizes. It's like shooting revolver at a match set up to be smooth for 10rd+ guns. Shotgun in 3gun is all about reloading.

930 SPX + 1 Mag Extension Question. And M2
No idea. Unloaded, I'd say it is probably 8.75+lbs. if I'd have to guess. Stock was 7 3/4, but the tube and choke likely make up for the 10" of barrel. The railed forend isn't light compared to the stock plastic. I'd say that plus the side saddle adds at least 1lb. But that's just a guess.

My glock and I don't get along
Why do you do it with a glock and not others? Probably due to grip circumference.

Her Rights Violated? You Decide.
Something to keep in mind perhaps. If they had a real legal right to do what they did, one would think it would be incumbent upon Facebook to give them access, and they wouldn't need the password then either.

930 SPX + 1 Mag Extension Question. And M2
Ok, my 930. 18.25" vent rib barrel threaded for chokes (cut down by gunsmith) Lengthened and polished forcing cone hi-viz bead and leaf blade sight. (convertible). Aimpro tri-rail. Nordic components +2 extension. Nordic components 3/4" XL end cap. Nordic components barrel clamp. Nordic components bolt handle (not visible in the pictures). Brownells mossberg enhanced safety (metal and oversized). Non-ported poly-choke. S&J day glow green delrin anti-tilt extended follower with tactile divot to check if the magazine is really empty without having to look. I like it better than the ones with a tactile nubbin. Mesa Tactical 6 round side saddle. With a factory 18.5" barrel it should line up almost perfectly with the extension being a hair shorter. I still need to find a rear sling mount. The mesa tactical loop that says it works with their side saddles does not in this case.

Please stop buying Serpa holsters
We DO ban unsafe people, at least form the ranges I'm a member of when we catch them. Your point? Do the ofrces of law enforcement NOT take action against those officers who are a safety problem?
-
Please stop buying Serpa holsters
Ok, so behaving in a manner to achieve equal safety in performance, would you choose a holster that is faster for the same degree of safety, or slower? They are within $5 of each other street price.
-
Please stop buying Serpa holsters
Well, lets put it this way. Would you like to see a range shut down because someone bought a cheap, badly designed holster and shot themselves unintentionally using it?

Build your own
My rifle runs probably about $1500 to build form scratch. To get something similar built and delivered as a whole, it would probably cost about $1800-2200 depending. I can find package deals that get close for about $1500 though, but if I made the parts substitutions to match it exactly, my build cost would be about $1230.

Her Rights Violated? You Decide.
Tinker says basically: "conduct by the student, in class or out of it, which for any reason - whether it stems from time, place, or type of behavior - materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others is, of course, not immunized by the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech." The issue leading to the event in question was theoretically her talk of sex with a peer, and then a parent complained. If it is causing a disrpution in the school, they have the right to tell her not to say it and to enforce it with punishment. I'm not so sure about the search. Operating in loco parentis, the school can offer up consent to police to search a student's belongings, I'm unaware of that extending to the student's person, but that may be because the issue fell off my radar a while ago. However, unless they offer up facebook access via school equipment or can prove that the kid was accessing it from school, I would see it as fairly hard to create situation analogous to the search your bag type of rulings that doesn't wind up with the school on the losing end of the precedence. It's not like the school can search your bedroom, but they can search your bag or locker. Facebook strikes me as being much more like the bedroom than the locker.

Build your own
That really depends on what you build it with. Want to be more specific? I can drop $30 on handguards, or $350 if I buy a really expensive rail system, or somewhere in between. I can drop $99 on a no name fire sale M4 profile barrel, or I can spend $500 on a decent match grade barrel.

Double Barrel 1911.....3822? idk just look
The pistol, not. The bolt action double rifle? I could see the use. Being the PH on a dangerous game hunt, you want a big caliber, which means a bolt action or double rifle. The oduble rifle is faster for a charge by something trying to kill you. The bolt action is good for capacity. The combo gets you both. The use is limited to a specific niche , but it's there.

Stage 5 was mine. If anyone is interested in doing stages for cj or OB, pm me, I'll get you added to the list.

930 SPX + 1 Mag Extension Question. And M2
Is there a chance? yeah. Is there a chance of soon? Depends on the mood of the kid. Not much spare time is left beyond matches and getting ready for matches. Or maybe I'll jsut stop being picky about a nice picture and snap something quick with the cell phone.

How to get screws out of receiver?
go to home depot or lowes. Look for their interchangeable bit micro drivers (they both had the same model which is also sold elsewhere last time I was there, 3 bits in the handle while one is in the driver type of deal)). The interchangeable bits are hollow ground which is what you want for flat head gun screws, not flat gorun like most cheap screw drivers.
