MY guns are for use. They get wear and tear, and I'm fine with that. That said, I HATE nicks and scratches from accidents or carelessness on my part.

How many buck in gas do you burn to save how much?

You'd probably be wrong. Yeah total counts would probably drop, but the per capita rate would probably increase, because fomenting education and success would likely create an exodus of the populace. Give people the means to not stay in a shithole, and they will likely take that option. So really what you are trying to convince a city government to do is stop having a large populace, and to give up power and votes. Dump money into a school in NJ, and it's used to build stuff becuase that's how you pay off your cronies and make a buck yourself. It doesn't get spent on educators. For what ehy spend pers student in New Brunswick, which is an abbott district, they could just build a boarding school somewhere else and ship the kids to it. It'd also take the burden of child care off the parents, give you an environment where you get proper nutrition, give you the ability to keep the gangs away from the kids, etc. But that's not going to happen either, even though you could probably get kickbacks out of the system, and you would delay flight at least as long as improving public schools would because you couldn't keep your kid in the system if you left whatever hell hole was offering this. And that's because if you don't have a pile of volatile poor people in your city, you don't have the same position of power you had yesterday. Even if you could have a new one tomorrow, that's a gamble, and they aren't there to gamble, they are their to wield the power they know and profit from it. Especially these days, places like Detroit tell a cautionary tale that you may never get that power back. That power is the simultaneous narratives that they are barely keeping this disaster contained and keeping it from spreading everywhere, and that we should be increadibly guilty for the situation the politicians make an effort to perpetuate. Many of us have sat in trenton listening to politicians from these areas tell us more gun control is needed to keep the unruly black people in paterson, etc. in check. Of course it was a black politician saying it, so they can't be racist right?

You can also get benellis in lefty versions. At least he m2 is if you want a semi auto.

IT did not fail to perform. The person posting fails to realize that the clear gel stuff isn't exactly the same as FBI standard ballistic gel. Heck there are multiple clear gel formulas, and they aren't the same as each other. If it were 6" yeah, it'd likely still be a fail. Less than half an inch? I'd question if it is within spec based on doing the math form the calibration. Especially since they appear to make play at calibrating with a bb, but don't list the exact speed. You are supposed to use a chrono, and the accepted range is 575-605fps IIRC, and not 500-600fps, which if they don't have a number, means they were probably trusting their bb gun based on past performance. Given that it was almost there and varied form others tests, I'd suggest it is just as likely to be the tester as the test subject and you'd want to confirm. The other possibility is it could be seasonal. Other tests have seen the opposite results where 9mm works well and .45 comes up a bit short. 9mm is a high pressure round compared to .45. If those tests were in cooler conditions you can wind up with pressure creeping up on both. .45 in most modern guns and powder will just go faster. With some powders, they slow down a bit before they get to the big pressure spike (titegroup is such a powder for example).

Dang! Thats bad.

I'm -5.25 and -4.25 they are pretty thin and work well for shooting when I forget/forget to use my dedicated shooting glasses. I've tried the higher index stuff (not digital mapped), and at higher prescriptions, they are not so hot for anything at even somewhat oblique angles of viewing. Keep in mind, if for shooting you don't want the thinnest material you can get, you want something that works ergonomically and is harder to penetrate.

Digital mapped prescriptions will mostly wrap. As Vlad said rudy's new rx in frame lenses do this. A less awesome, but cheaper solution is Costco. All their lenses are now a digitally mapped "grind" . I've had the same done on my Rudy rx inserts a while ago and it was absurdly pricy. Get a promo code and rudy's can be pretty reasonable. Costco is cheaper than perl or lensxrafters .

More likely the fact other places are selling for $329-349.

The less classic turret is a great starter press. You can remove the indexing tab to use it a single stage just fine. THe new revised steel based model is pretty awesome, and you will find it useful even when you move on to progressive for small batch stuff or things like brass prep for rifle rounds.

We already have something for that, it's called the internet... you are on it now. There are no shortages of conspiracy theories, and making up shit won't help RKBA one bit.

Yeah. I'm a mod on one of their automotive forums. No explanation why.

I don't think there is much of a genie. I think the only people who noticed this thing were TKBA types. I say this because I have seen essentially zero support for her from anywhere, nor the topic even bought up in the usual places. It's not like their side feels any shame at making shit up, so that would imply nobody even knows what the hell this thing is.

No need for high end. I have a lot of earpro, and still nothing beats the EAR soft blasts 33NRR disposable plugs for comfort and protection. IF you need situational awareness on top of that, Howard leight electronic muffs on top of the plugs work very nicely.

I have a mossberg 930, I'm going to switch to the stoeger m3k. Especially for 3gun, It's just a no brainer, and the cheaper thing to do. I'll put up my reasoning, and you can determine if they apply to you. Given they are priced similarly the following are what I think matters in terms of comparing. I will note things that only really matter to 3 gun with (3g) and things that matter to more than 3 gun but not necessarily to all uses with *. Things you need to fix on an out of the box mossberg: 1) new STEEL safety. best bang for the buck winds up being about $20+s/h. The plastic one WILL break on you if you do any serious quantity of shooting or even just banging it around in the safe. 2) New bolt handle * (JM pro is sufficient). 3) new mag tube * (For NJ this applies to all. In free america, the nordic on the JM pro is GTG). 4) Better follower * (if going with a +2 mag tube, you likely need something other than stock, no idea if the JM pro comes with the nrodic follower). 5) OR3GUN marine spacer tube * (May not need this with the JM pro, or if you are a low volume shooter who detail cleans the gas system EVERY time). 6) OR3gun forearm retainer (3g) 7) Tweak the gas/recoil system * (the 930 built an early reputation for reliable operation with a wide range of shells. IMO, this is mostly highlander 3 effect where it looks good because those that came before it sucked so bad. IMO for anything where you want to cycle a high volume of light bird shot, you are going to have to take steps to either decrease the spring rate via OR3GUN CSP/ASR system, or slicking up the gas system via the JM pro models chrome or the OR3GUN marine tube, or a combination. Some combination of the above should get you reasonably reliable operation with anything 2 3/4", but I'd stay away form teh 3" stuff after messing with the spring rates). 8) sights * (JM pro may be sufficient and is certainly on par with the m3k in thsi department, but for both you will likely want some form of rear). 9) Extended choke tubes of the right variety * (for 3 gun you can try limping by with using modified for everything, but at some point you will likely need at least one more, and then you will want extended). 10) Sling mounts (JM pro at least gives you the nordic clamp with it) 11) loading port work (3g) 12) Some form of match saver What you'll need to fix on the stoeger: 1) rear sight. * 2) sling mounts * (only if you want a QD sling to work and if you are altering capacity, If 4 rounds and sling studs work, it's GTG). 3) 922r compliant tube of appropriate lengths. 4) An improved follower if you replace the tube 5) possibly need to drop in a benelli extractor 6) Some form of match saver Money wise, if you want a functioning 3g setup, I think the stoeger will cost you less since it comes with extended choke tubes appropriate to 3 gun. If you don't want DIY loading port work done, it'll cost you a lot less. Something to consider for someone not me. If you need a short length of pull, teh stoeger recoil system is not in the stock, you can shorten it up with some custom hacking a lot more than a benelli, 930, beretta, etc. Qualitatively: I have a 930 with a shortened barrel, with an extended forcing cone, and a heavy railed forearm. It is soft shooting, but not enough to matter unless you are shooting rested in a port (in which case the mossberg is kind, and the stoeger kind of punches you in the face a bit) and the stoeger transitions better. There's also match saver style loading via the ejection port. Short version is the stoeger does this better and more reliably. The long verison is that the stoeger doesn't release a shell from the tube until you press that little silver tab by the trigger, or pull the trigger. The 930 releases it at some other point in the firing cycle. The upshot is that if you are a bit over-exuberant with your match saver load on the stoeger, you push teh lifter a bit, but it loads. If you are with the 930, you can trigger a round to come out of the mag tube and wind up with a double feed situation that's not good when you are on the clock. If you do that AND find you had a FTE because the clearances on the stock spacer tube suck and drag on fouling or too much lube, you wind up with a jem of a failure condition that truly sucks. The flip side of that is the 930 manual of arms is simpler. Then there's the cleaning. The stoeger has a chrome lined barrel and no gas system. Guys with several cases down the pipe since the last cleaning have m3ks that look as clean as my 930 did out of the box. The 930 has or3gun, nordic, southern kentucky tactical, GG&G and mesa tactical support for accessories and bits, as well as some other odds and ends. The m3k has MOA precision, the benelli parts bin, and some aftermarket stuff that interchanges between the benellis and the stoeger, and nordic for aftermarket options.

Hey, I'm just stirring the shit. Lots of people like their coffee, I hate all coffee. *shrug* As for DDs pork roll, it looks substandard in their promotional images. I'm scared what the real item will look like. How the hell do you cut corners on blendered extruded meat?

Well according to dunkin donuts, it's pork roll. You can even get a pork roll egg and cheese on a bagel there now. I wouldn't, but you could.

You still aren't getting it the cop was presented as the seller, not the buyer. It was regarding transport. Handling is still a different matter.

If leaving the muzzle device off would leave you with an SBR, yes. NJ law does not specify what does and does not count as permanent. People say NJSP are cool with blind pins. ME, I pin and weld. I don't like the idea of having to appeal to the judgment of the people trying to prosecute me to prove they are wrong in prosecuting me.

You are parsing it wrong. It's legal for the buyer to transport form teh place of purchase. There's not list of legit places of purchase, so that is wherever they buy it from. The seller, however, has to be transporting it someplace legal, and if you are not a cop or CCW holder allowed to have a handgun there, you are in all liklihood going to have problems if caught unless that location is an exempted location.

Cool links (well mostly the first one) I had been looking for stuff like that. Taken from them, runoff from a moder algae resistant asphalt shingle primarily had issues with arsenic. NO lead, no zinc, no copper, no cadmium. The arsenic was 0.3 ug/L which is 0.0003mg/L 1ppm of water is 1mg/L The acceptable levels for arsenic in drinking water are 10ppb. which is 0.010 parts per million. THe runoff tested well below the levels for drinking water on modern shingles for our general region (test was PA). So.... For those I'd be more concerned about bird poop and communicable diseases.

Based on other stuff I have read, and talking to FFLs, I agree. However the mistaken denials come up as something, and those percents are what they come up as, even if the net result is actually misidentification rather than a criminal attempt to purchase a firearm. I can't find it right now, but I have read a better write up on the issue that gets into that. IIRC the numbers were something like prosecuting one in 11,000. The other part this article plays fast and loose with is if the goal is to get convictions or the goal is to keep those people from being sold a firearm. If just the latter, it is not the failure it looks like. However, I would suggest that even the leftest lefty regards the purpose as crime reduction to some extent, and at that it fails horribly.

Works fine with .223. There's really only a few issues with it. 1) it has a monochrome display, and it would have been in everyone's best interests to have made it oled as viewing it off axis it can get washed out easily. 2) if shooting small calibers, you don't want to set up near a berm with vegetation as it can get confused with wind moving the vegetation. Its not an issue with your standard centerfire pistol cartridges. 3) the UI is more complex than most other chronos. 4) timing. It has a maximum pace it can do the math at, and if you shoot faster you are just wasting ammo. It took me one range outing to get used to it. I can show up set it up, chrono a dozen rounds and be done in maybe 10 minutes with everything saved to spreadsheets, even at dusk. I still have to try it indoors though.

There are also multiple adjustable gas keys on the market if getting the gas block off is a pita. I have one from rubber city armory

Yeah, but a lot of the shooting clown shoes involves taking someone's word its a waste, and people like to doubt such things. Stuff like the martial arts magic bs, you actually have to discard tangible reality for fantasy to not walk away. I guess its why cults work.
