Had a camp pin shear right below the head. It was a cam pin I had to source individually, and it looked weird form the start, like it had been phosphated, shot peened or media tumbled and phosphated again. It also worse shiny spots in it in a weird way before failing completely. Failed in less than 1000 rounds. Main problem with getting it fixed is that almost nobody says who they source their cam pins from. So I went to a purveyor of fancy high quality BCGs and bought their house brand cam pin because at least they were willing to put their name on it. Has worked out for a couple thousand rounds so far.

To quote Dean's post on benos "Only Tact Ops division will be recognized for the points, but you may shoot anything you want for fun." To go with said quote another quote: "The matches at New Holland will be using the long range and you will see some shooting out to 550-600 yards." So... like really glad I got a good scope finally.

The larue qd works by pulling a steel disk up against the bottom of the picatinny rail protrusions. Steel is harder than aluminum.

Me and Vlad G bought QD mounts about the same time. He bought a larue spr-e and I bough an ADM recon-x. Time goes on. He starts rebuilding his rifle for three gun and spends about a Labrador retriever on ammo trying to zero the thing. Finally swap guns, swap shooters. Everyone has a problem with his gun, he seems fine on other people's guns. Spend another dog or two chasing down the part that don't work. The larue mount has chewed up his upper. IIRC both the upper and one of his mount's clampy bits was now out of spec. IIRC his attempt to get customer support form larue did not reflect their stated lifetime warranty policy. My adm still works, hasn't marred my receiver, and I was able to recently swap out the ring portion for a reasonable price to support my new 34mm scope. The only thing I can complian about is that depending on your upper, your choice for adjusting the rclampy bits may be between "that doesn't seem tight enough" and "you have a funny definition of quick".

yup, that's it.

Looking at the manual, it appears they changed things because as I pointed out to them on the tech line. Their design was shit. The pivot block sits on a hex nut head you can tighten down. That's it. in the old version. Now there is a cam block clamp that fits over it. I just got a piece of 1/8" thick angle iron lopped off a piece about 1.5" wide, clamped iot ot the tube and drilled through the whole shebang and bolted it in place. Since it wasn't perfectly square, it lifted up slightly and I shimmed with washers. Things on the current hornady lineup that end users fixed the stupid design. 1) plastic primer rod. 2) The turnbuckle for the powder drop. 3) the cam block clamp.

NOt that, the adjustable plunger with the spring that move the cast toggle with a hole in it. The shell sled works fine unless the casting mounted to the frame that holds the drop tube gets loose. Which I have since limited to a maximum with said piece of angle iron. Also keep in mind my LNL AP with the case feeder has a serial number around 7500. I've had it since like 2003-2004. Something like that. Converted it from wire eject to ezject, etc. I also got one to dedicate to .223 last year which is in the 50,000s IIRC. The old one is also well past the 125k mark on loaded rounds.

No thats the cast doohickey that goes back and forth. Immediately to the left of your finger is the rod I talk about needing the ball bearing or something to not gouge the shit out of the doohickey. The bolt I'm talking about is the one that goes through the red box tubing to hold the casting the the aforementioned rod passes through and to which the toggling doohickey is attached by a screw that backs out over time.

I've got an old school vibraprime, they started making them again worth the money IMO. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/890424/frankford-arsenal-vibra-prime-automatic-primer-tube-filler I'll have to try the bullet feeder fix. It appears to just be a 1/4" cable clamp and some 1/4" pex. With teh case feeder, the biggest problem I have had is the casting that feeds and blocks cases falling won't ever stay tight. I cut myself a piece of angle iron, bolted it to the upright everything else is bolted to, and shimmed it with some washers. It keeps it from pushing up off the bolt. As far as I can tell from videos, that's still something they haven't fixed. Dunno if the rod that toggles that doohickey back and forth ships with the ball bearing everyone has in videos these days, but I made an angled delrin plug for mine. If it is jsut the chamfered open ended tube still, you need to do something about that, it will gouge a hole through the potmetal casting it pushes out of the way.

As I said before, the market is small enough you can manipulate it with a few hundred million. Banks are getting into it, and they have the cash to manipulate it it. What hasn't been reported on nearly as widely as "OMFG!!!! IT'S AT $XBAJILIONTY!!!!!" is that the few primary entities doing bitcoin exchange have been ramping up their fees in addition to this spike in pricing. So.. the people who warehouse bitcoin and have huge piles of cash, and thus the tools to manipulate the market are profiting off the bubble to an increasing proportion while possessing the tools to manipulate the market to cause a further feeding frenzy. I'm sure this is entirely above board like deutschebank and price fixing metals, and goldman sachs who performed the EXACT same service for metals and were delaying disbursements and front running customer orders into the market.

Well the official line was the kid wanted to go to college. I guess one can say "you need to work around my schedule" and view "no, I have a better idea" as being fired.

Interstate commerce is mentioned because that is the constitutional authority they claim gives them the ability to write such a law. You have a person crossing state lines for travel, and you have a gun which previous law claims all firearms are part of interstate commerce as manufactured goods shipped and sold. The grammatical structure implies that the "State of residence" clause is modifying the scope of who is affected, and not by the movement of the firearm.

There are a shit ton of statutory definitions of "resident" This bill does not specify which one of them it means. Which means any AG can bring it to court and argue that point. It will mean whatever the judge decides it means ranging from the dictionary definition, to any of the statutory definitions, to totally making shit up because a "wise latina" knows best or some similar shit. I know what we want it to mean, but I don't see that in the text of S446 I'll gladly defer to lawyers who do this shit for a living, or even a lobbying group, becuase this is their bread and butter, but nra-ila is avoiding talking about it along with others. I'm certainly not defering to capt14k's educated "nuh-uh".

"“(1) an individual who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm, and who is carrying a government-issued photographic identification document and a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State and which permits the individual to carry a concealed firearm, may possess or carry a concealed handgun (other than a machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce in any State other than the State of residence of the individual that—" That says to me that any individual not prhobited federally, and who has a carry permit form any state, may carry a concealed handgun that has been subjected to interstate commerce, and do so in any state other than their state of residence. I say this because the em dash is to be attached to either “(A) has a statute that allows residents of the State to obtain licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms; or" “(B) does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms by residents of the State for lawful purposes; and" And if you graft them on, there is no way to grammatically parse "state of residence" to describe the travels of the weapon. There just isn't. SO for a new jersian you get the language "(1) an individual who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm, and who is carrying a government-issued photographic identification document and a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State and which permits the individual to carry a concealed firearm, may possess or carry a concealed handgun (other than a machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce in any State other than the State of residence of the individual that has a statute that allows residents of the State to obtain licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms." Subject - individual. what kind of individual? one who is not prohibited from possessiong, transporting, shipping or receiving a firearn and who is carrying a government issues photo if and a valid license or permit issued by a state, any state that issue permits for concealed carry of a firearm. What may they do? They may carry. What may they carry? A concealed handgun other than a machinegun or DD. Said handgun must have been handled in interstate or foreign commercie. Where may they do this? In any tate that has a statute that allows residents of the state to obtain licenses or permits to carry concealed firearms other than the individual's state of residence. S 446 does not appear to do jack shit to help us other than give us standing to make a suit under equal protection.

Good, we agree on that. Then please explain how the state of residence clause is applied and what to. I'll also accept any third party references to this bill being awesome rather than some poison pill shitshow.

Yes, but the language they and I are interpreting is still present in December 2017. So, not sure how the date matters one fucking bit.

I'm going to have to disagree with you. While I agree that the use of commas, or lack of same, makes it potentially ambiguous from a straight up grammar perpspective, the state of residence can refer to either 1) the origin of the gun, but if it never left the state of residence of the individual, it was not moved in interstate commerce or imported, so why include the condition on an object that can't be included in the described items. 2) the status of the individual. Which makes perfect sense. You are in your state of residence under your state law makers, interstate commerce doesn't cover your legal relationship with the state. I'm not the only one parsing it that way. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2017/03/johannes-paulsen/read-constitutional-concealed-carry-reciprocity-act-2017/

I've seen some top shooters be efficient awfully fast. Smooth and correct beats fast and shitty though.

I have ordered from them in the last 6 months. Nothing besides the usual issue that they will sell you stuff they don't actually have so shipping can take a while. If you use free mail by MS or google, check your junk folder, mine started eating optics planet mail about a week ago. It's Christmas time, if you are going to find the bits that break, now is it.

My ADM mounts for my red dots, remove and replace, any shift is less than the size of the dot, so it's entirely possible it's me. My ADM mounts for my scope, in previous tests it shifted less than 1/4" at 100 yards. Also possibly me or my ammo. How you adjust them can affect repeatability. The closer you get to binding without binding, the less the shift in my experience with my ADM mounts. The less Q, the more repeatable.

For S446 " may possess or carry a concealed handgun (other than a machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce in any State other than the State of residence of the individual that—" I read this to mean that if you are a resident of two states by any legal definition, S446 would not apply to you in either of those states. INstead, within those states, you would have to abide by the laws governing the residents of said states. For HR38, I agree that the wording means that unless NJ goes no issue, they would have to accept an out of state resident permit from another state or an in state permit from another state for someone who can legally be regarded as a resident of multiple states. I'm not seeing how you can parse 446 to permit that.

It's a tube to mil-spec dimensions rather then commercial dimensions. This matters for fitting a collapsible stock. fancy machining or not, I believe it is still the right dimension. That castle nut is not and is where the stock is binding. Different castle nut or different stock and no more problem. Or unleash the power of dremel(tm).

Because the law doesn't apply to your state of residence. IF you claim residence in say FL, and own land here, you might be good. However if you declare NJ here, despite maintaining a second residence in FL, you would be boned by my reading. Beyond that, NJ may decide to play fast and loose with the definition of a resident if faced with such legislation. If you are just visiting and live elsewhere, you would be covered for whatever that means.

I know at least one person who checked yes. No permit issues. Doc provided the letter. Went over it ahead of time with doc.

Perhaps you are just shit at setting up a windows box? The thing you need to remember is that you aren't protecting the box from attackers 99% of the time you are protecting the user from themselves. For most these days, that means protect their email and protect their browser. Set them up with a default non admin account. It's exactly what you are doing when linux and osx "just work". Get them on a mail service that has good AV and anti phishing. Office 365 or gmail are both decent. Set up something like ad block and ghostery for their browser. Set up windows defender. It may also be time to generally consider a router with AV built in. I got one, and the amount of shit I see targeting my stuff is near zero. The wife and kid though? Holy shit.
