My definition if fail would be gun ran fine, gun gets used, gun starts mall functioning, replacing has rings makes it run again.

Ok question for the forum. Has anyone seen has rings fail? Any idea of a round count? Cause I have not only never reached eol on a set, I've never seen anyone else's fail either. Just curious since they are in like every spares kit.

No that should not happen. They should both be within saami spec. Mic the 165. If you don't have appropriate measuring tools at least visually compare it with the 185 that works.

I'll second the OCZ SSD experience.

Back when I lived in an apartment, I won the boobie prize. I got a unit that was receiving mail and packages from different far away lands to people not on any of the prior leases according to the rental office, plus one of the prior renters skipped out on a lot of bills. Verizon also recycled a phone number that either belonged to, or was co-opted by a prolific scammer. The police will do nothing, because there is nothing they are really legally entitled to do for you. Even if it is some kind of fraud, it usually requires an aggrieved party to press charges, and you aren't one of them. The post office will do nothing, or they will stop all mail coming to your address and make yo come pick up everything you wanted, plus all the stuff you didn't want. In fact, the only entity to do ANYTHING about any of it was comcast. The scammer had used my phone number when setting up their cable. I started getting odd stuff on my bill, and called them they wouldn't disclose the address using my number, but they did disconnect their service. I laughed at the mortgage company that didn't believe me when I told them they shouldn't lend them money, and then called up trying to get paid 6 months later.

How so. It's a radiant barrier? You have to air gap it. And it does push heat into the gapped space. Most of what I have read up on radiant barriers is for keeping heat down in converted attics though. Radiant barriers usually do so at the cost of shortened roof shingle life. DoE has done evaluations of it and does say it lowers temps. As far as I can tell, claims of it saving you jack are largely BS unless you have been silly enough to try and cool a poorly insulated attic 24-7, it's a matter of improving livability. It's pretty useless for cold, which would be my main concern with a garage under living space. From what I have read, anything other than in the attic is a waste of money in our climate, and in the attic, it's a small return with an unfinished attic, with a finished attic you might gain livability, but unless the way you finished it leaves room to vent the heated air, you are just going to shift a chunk of the costs to cooking your shingles.

No. To quote the USPSA rulebook "Only 1911 production type pistols. Must be available to the general public and have their basis in the original 1911 service pistol as designed by John M. Browning. Pistols made from components that duplicate the factory originals are acceptable. Frames must be metal." That is the last paragraph of appendix D5 for the single-stack division form the current rule book.

Not to argue you are wrong about the law, but I parsed the original question to mean that the two people in question are not residents in different states, but both NJ residents, one with a PA property. So... Gun wise, IIRC that dude is legally a resident of both states as far as purchases go? Dunno what that does to the legal math.

QD mounts - bobro, american defense, or larue are known high quality. About the only thing I have to say about them is that the larue gets you infinite adjustment on the tension, but can be abusive to the upper/rail. The AD may make you choose between too tight and too loose, but seems to be pretty kind to the upper long term. I have an AD recon-x and a few AD red dot mounts. I also have a burris pepr QD. When they sat down with their lawyers to avoid infinging on a patent, it appears they sat down and worked off the AD QD locks. I don't know how much I'd trust it long term do to the quality of the castings, fasteners, etc. But it appears to work. That being said, it is not cntelevered enough to provide proper eye relief for a lot of scopes from an offhand position. It could also really stand to have the rings lapped, and I'm not sure how it would fare after doing such in terms of wear or corrosion. Bang for the buck, I'd say AD.

Hmm. Do they provide any added value over hitting up a restaurant supply place? For example, webstaurantstore sells 20lb boxed of black beans or kidney beans for about $30 shipped. 40lbs costs $60 there, 40lbs of black beans at pleasanthillgrains costs $134 to ship to me in NJ. That's a HUGE difference.

Show me a prosecution based on constructive intent that has won. When you do, let me know, and THEN it's time to consider if it is a viable base for an affirmative defense. Translation: Constructive intent is legally, pretty shaky ground to stand on unless your tactic is to come up with an excuse to bankrupt someone by forcing them through the expense of the legal system.

The insurance company writing it only requires reporting of items over a certain dollar value. IIRC that value is $2500. Which is over the value of the default NRA policy, so they don't care if you tell them anything until you buy additional insurance. Having gone down that road, the company they insure through is a bit on the overpriced side for additional insurance.

Ok. 1) USPA requires the belt or an underbelt to go through two belt loops. Duty belts are no go unless you are in the LEO category. 2) for 3 gun, ELS is the thing. There really isn't much beating it for reconfiguring to match the needs of the stage/match. The price difference and performance difference between CR speed and ELS isn't that big. I'd go ELS if buying now, and that's form someone who owns 3 CR speed belt rigs. I ahve now converted to one ELS rig that can be reconfigured and takes the place of my old 3 gun rig and my 2 of my 3 CR speed rigs. It'll do all 4 once I get more forks, but it adds up so I am buying in chunks.

Yes, to the point that the PD has on occasion not even bothered contacting them. Heck half of them say the same thing I put in all of mine "I have known <insert person's name> since <insert year>. I have no knowledge of any reason they should be denied ownership of a firearm."

If it's a big heavy target, or a static target, yes, angled is more than a good idea. For targets that move easily or with less inertia, I haven't seen a lot of difference in end results. For example 1/2" AR500 6" plates dangling from chain. They either shatter the bullet if it is small and fast, or most of the energy winds up in the target and you get a lot of smooshed bullets on the ground near the target.

I have some real early ones I have used a lot. They are getting a little ugly and beat up, but they work better than any other 15 round mags I have used.

I've bought a bunch of stuff on gunbroker. 1) Winning an auction is a contract. Op cost the winner money, OP is the jerk i that incident as others have stated. 2) The only thing that would be problematic with the SA58 one is if they didn't list on the auction that it is not for sale in places X Y and Z. If it was verbiage "not for sale where it is not legal" or similar, I'd have asked before bidding. But if it was any of the current models, it's on you even then, as they come with a detachable mag, flash suppressor and a pistol grip. Already done, regardless of if the FH is removable. The problem is the OP, not GB.

Pulling is one action, releasing is a second action. From what I understand if you take it out of echo mode before the release it doesn't let off the round. It sounds weird, but apparently that's how the ATF rolls. Release triggers have a sketchy history of safety.

I don't have the ammo, but I have some of the Winchester otm 62gr bullets and they shoot very nicely over 24gr of tac. $0.50 a round is a bit rich for me at the moment.

I have seen multiple bureaucrat mags have the welded on nubbin come off after repeated use. Imo the Tripp and CMC mags where the floor plate prevents over insertion are a more reliable design. Cmc need regular maintenance of the feed lips every few thousand rounds or when stepped on. They may also need the base plate to be trimmed up to match the gun. Tripp seem to be tougher and to tighter tolerances.

To put up a more practical answer(s) to why there are knives that are not custom that cost more than $50. I'll look at the $100-150 range. 1) Steel. Good steels cost more, yeah, but they also are harder on the tooling used to machine them so it wears out sooner. 2) Quality control and tolerances. Things like heat treat, fit and finish, etc. get done better/right. 3) Other materials. Things like bronze washers for a smoother mechanism, higher quality steel for the liners and locking mechanisms. Better screw/fasteners (or screws/fasteners instead of rivets), G10/micarta/something nicer than cheap plastic scales. Etc. 4) Volume. Lots of people balk at kinves over $20-30. The quality bumps up the price, and you limit the market, so the margins have to be higher.

ITAR most definitely applies to domestic manufacturers that do not intend to export. It shouldn't, but it does. This is due, in theory to the fact they don't want a 3rd party exporting without the manufacturer being registered. It however doesn't apply to people not engaged int he business of whatever people keep on thinking it bans for individuals. Like reloading.

I got a couple of these as a birthday gift. They work very well.

anyone know the rough round count yet?

It's not east coast, it is NJ, NY and all the other NE/mid atlantic high population density areas. We just have too many people living too close together. IT brings out the jerk in people. People might not be nicer other places, but they do tend to actively stress each other out a bit less as far as daily routine goes.
