From wht I understand the owner had recieved multiple offers over the years, and finally the nissan dealership next door offered him a large sum of money. That plus the fact none of the kids and or grandkids seemed really interested in taking over the place and he decided to finally take the offer. nobody plans to reopen it as a large sum of money was paid to turn it into what it currently is.. an inventory lot for rt 22 nissan.

Not anymore. it has been the 1 day a week 10am thing since some time before feb 2008, which is when I picked up my last permit in woodbridge. They had been whittling it down, the last couple before that, it was 2 or 3 dyas of the week.

Ok, I'll change my assessment form stupid and lying, or just stupid. You don't need to fire lots of brass ammo, the heat comes form the gasses. Oddly enough, the barrel is metal and thermally conductive, and the chamber is part of the barrel. It also has every round fired in it while each case only has one round fired from it. The heat comes form the chamber walls. The plastic is an insulator, which means that heat is absorbed more slowly and released more slowly. SO yeah, it might have a lower tendency to cook off a round, but at some point the chamber will be hot enough that even "slowly" means more heat than the plastic can deal with holding, and more than it can shed before it fails. A mag dump to empty isn't the worst case. It's when you have heated up the chamber through rapid fire, and leave a round sitting in the chamber.

I think DPMS has a marked difference between a custom order and a stock item, even in the 5.56 lineup. I've seen plenty of nice ones. The reality is that given the proliferation of DIY and quality small vendors, that all the ARs on the market have been improving in quality. I think the only place where it is easy to differentiate them are barrel quality, and bolt carrier group. Even then, ther'es more end purpose and personal preference type choices being made there than any absolute quality differentiation.

So it won't be more accurate, will be more expensive, isn't reloadable, and they have tested it full auto, but they haven't tested it in a hot chamber wile also making sure that only bolt actions were at the range for shot? I'm thinking your engineer is either stupid or hiding something.

$400 is a bit steep. Especially since .40 winds up mixed with .38 and .357. With the pans, the rimmed cartridges dangle and are easy to deal with. Not really worth it for the few hours a year I spend with the pans.

I'd buy a ton in a heartbeat. I guarantee you lots of people would by >15 round mags simply because it would be the cheapest choice for a quality magazine for lots of guns.

Yes, but I'd like to know what powder they used. It was the cleanest burning .223 I have ever seen.

The reason most target stands have holes someplace in the "legs" is because with jsut one anchor point, you don't prevent rotation. Which is an issue if youa re constantly messing with the target to tape between shooters like at a match. Also, the average USPSA shooter helping to clean up counts very much as an unskilled gorilla... it'll tax the welds.

I read the linked thread, not very convincing. One loud douchenozzle with zero content complaining. One guy who seems smart but doesn't know what nitro carburizing actually does for a barrel. One dude complaining about old management. One legit gripe about their dual spring extractor ripping off bits of case rims (which I believe, their dual spring extractor rather than running longer due to redundant springs binds up when one gets weaker than the other by too much. So instead of one opportunity to fail, it has two.) I wouldn't spend my money on them for several reasons, but most of them aren't specific to lwrc.

Just FYI, the pdf burewell hosts is not exactly the way he does his trigger job. He didn't make it, he just makes it available.

yeah, that's federal cartridge.. i.e. federal.

I'm guessing 6 week form morpho.

Ballistic fingerprint databases are just stupid. For an automated search, you are screwed. If you make it too general, you get back large swaths of the same make and model because modern manufacturing is too consistent. If you tighten it up, it won't find anything because the wear and tear of normal operation can lead to a mismatch pretty quickly. So what they do is try for something in the middle to pull a "short list" and have a human cull it down. The problem is they shove every gun into it. So that poor tool mark specialist drowns while drinking from the firehose. This is why it hasn't produced anything of use in multiple states or Canada.

Lurk? Do you always speak without knowledge of your subject first? This thread is populated with comments by some of the most active posters on the forum. Read the statutes, maybe look up some court precedents. You aren't really arguing a very sound position with a less than stellar attitude. I think the general populace has been pretty tolerant and restrained.

It's not a myth, it is misrepresented. There are a few issues with wolf/tula/herters. 1) It's got the read primer sealant on it. THIS is what can get in your gun. No it doesn't mess up your chamber. However you DO want to keep an eye on your firing pin and firing pin hole. If you burn through lots of the stuff between cleanings, you can get the firing pin binding on the ugnk and slam fire can occur. Pretty much every gun cleaner I have run into will clean the stuff up. 2) steel isn't as ductile as brass, hence you can get more powder fowling. If you have a chrome lined 5.56 chamber, this isn't really much of an issue as long as you don't buy really soft brass cased ammo. (ex. federal XM193 is GTG, indian surplus? Not so much, even jsut a carbiine length gas system can mess it up but good). 3) steel case heads. SOme people say it will wear out ejectors faster. You should be keeping spares anyway, because it's a wear item even with brass. Just remember to do your cost comparison between steel and brass cased including maintenance costs. 4) copper washed steel projectiles. There isn't much copper. A hard chromed bore should mitigate wear issues some, but even so, I find the cost savings of steel cased ammo heavily mitigated by decreased accuracy. It depend son how you shoot your guns, and if you care. 5) Matte finish. The matte finished steel cased ammo + pmag plastic feed lips, + cold weather can be an issue. Especially in the 62gr variety with a midlength gas system on a 16" gun and shorter. I've run into failures to feed with my mid length in winter with that combo. The forward assist will get it done, but it's was about 25% of rounds through the gun. The 55gr ammo was significantly better, and with metal mags, wasn't giving me any issues and with pmags was maybe 1 in 20 needed a small nudge with the FA. That's basically it. I shot a TON of wolf when it had real copper jackets. Loved the stuff. It was actually pretty accurate, especially the 62gr stuff. Since it doesn't look like we'll ever see it again, I finally shot up the last of my supply and have moved on to all brass cased ammo. Mostly federal xm193 and my own reloads.

See, I see it as disrespectful to the office to waste time dealing with simple entertainments rather than real business. Too many parties, not enough work. THe president isn't a king, he's a guy with a job.

Looks like a solid call to me. Even if the guy just wanted to bluff at being mr. bad a** with a sledge hammer, you take the risk your bluff will be taken seriously. In poker, a solid bluff means you give up, in this situation it means you get shot up. And yes, Ron needs to do more reading.

Never ran into one in person to have an opinion about it. Frankly, below a certain weight and smoothness, it's all about how well It fits you personally. With the default job, it will stop basically when the back of the trigger hits the frame, with break being just slightly ahead of that.

I have the original burwell trigger job. Breaks at about 3.8lbs. What he normally does will eliminate a lot of over travel unless you get the forward set job. If you like to prep the trigger, and don't have really long fingers, I'd just get the standard trigger job.

If the price is right, I've been pleased with magtech brass in 9, 40, and45. Wwb has worked fine for me, so is r-p brass. I'm not so keen on Speer because of their dished case head. Blazer brass has similar problems, and I've had lots of them splitting early on me lately (although in .40, ymmv in 9).

Wow, can't be bothered to read the first sentence of the post?

I used to wonder if our supreme court judges have even passed the bar. Now I wonder if they have even watched the news or maybe have seen an episode of Matlock. They are truly embarrassing.

For CJ, remember you need to be able to place them high unless you have them way at the back berm. THey keep chanign the number, but I think 5' will currently keep you out of trouble. That's for the 300 yard range. AS for the birchwood casey "steel" targets. They are total crap. Even pistol will mess them up. Most rifle, even shooting soft points, will go right through. A 30-06 on their "up to 30-06" will go right through. For the budget minded, I recommend the bunker hill auto popper self resetting plate in ar500. Bolt it to a hunk of 4x4, and drill holes so you can shove in a few lengths of rebar, and you can get them up off the ground pretty well while still being able to get it in the trunk.

Hmm.. I think they were disappointed his hair wasn't full of tasty bugs.
