What is the letter cutting program and plotter? It's some of the key info in determining how screwed you are. Also, is it running on 95 or dos/3.1? The reality is that if you want the continued use of your hardware, you have to figure out if you can arrange something that makes use of a more modern PC. On the up side, your setup rode out a period before virtual machines became widely available with good performance, so there may be options that weren't available before. If you were using it to make money, it should have been paying for it's replacement. If you aren't, well there are some really pretty decent hobby cutters up to about a 30-40" width for under $400 these days.

So carrying extra weight and two types of devices vs say duct tape or whatever the current field expedient solution is? I'd be with you if the formula was I have three usable grenades. To stack them I unscrew two fuse sections and make one big grenade, and only do this when it's premeditated and feasible, but form what I have read on them, there are fuse sections and non fuse sections, and they aren't the same. Which sounds like a bad idea from, at the VERY least, a total weight of gear perspective.

While an FFL might be able to enter an AW into their AW ledger, or to possess normal capacity magazines over 15 rounds for sale to LEO with letterhead, it changes NONE of my quoted examples for someone in PA wanting to travel to a range in NJ. I will add some more examples. 1) PA person wants to sell an AW qualifying firearm to a NJ FFL. They can ship it here to an 01 ffl who can enter it in their AW ledger. That FFL can seell it on to an out of state FFL or to LE department or LEO with departmental request on letterhead (not sure on the dotting all the Is and crossing all the Ts on that one). If they drive to that 01 FFL, they are in possession of an illegal firearm. 2) PA person wants to sell it to an 07. They can ship it to them, the 07 can perform compliance work on it and turn it into a not banned weapon and sell it on to a NJ resident with appropriate paperwork. You still can't drvie it there because nothing magical about the transaction exempts you from jack. IF it is banned or illegal in NJ, NOTHING that I know of exempts you from the law if your end destination is in NJ. The only possible exception to this might be some of the wording for LEO exemption for out of state leo and the active duty military exemptions for certain situations. I'll let someone who has dissected those because they have a vested interest in them chime in if that gets you any special opportunities to be special people with separate laws us commoners don't get the benefit of.

I'm betting the angsty teenage girl who snuck out.

I was curious about that. Near as I can tell, the most likely candidate (i.e only book with that title that is old enough to be likely to be bound like that) is Crime without punishmeny by John L. McClellan. Published in 1962. From the snippets and reviews I could find it is largely about racketeering and how organized crime ran rampant in labor unions with a focus on the teamsters with a possible premise of, or being written as a case study response to the notion that such is the inevitable conclusion of granting any particular group special immunities from prosecution. Also, it is increasingly used as part of the title for papers discussing sex trafficking and other criminal abuses in post communist Russia and other former iron curtain states. It's also part of the title of a fairly recent JFK conspiracy book that says castro had jfk killed. *shrug* Perhaps there's a bit of a growing problem between those who go outside, and those who do not.

so you need to keep track of the fused module, and the unfuzed modules and then play legos while people are tyring to kill you. Fantastic idea... truly fantastic.

And if you read the ayoob article, that lines up with waht he points to. The light trigger voided two people's "whoops it went off" defenses. It does not appear to have a good track record of invalidating justifiable lethal self defense. I've gone looking in the past, and came up with a few cases where the issue was brought up at trial but didn't go anywhere in terms of the end result.

That's the ammo plant. It includes the case feeder and bullet feeder.

SImple example. 1) You own a g19 and want to shoot a steel match at a NJ range. You can bring it in in stock form as it has a 15 round capacity. However, you need to travel directly to and from the range or other exempted location. 2) You own a g17 and want to shoot a steel match in nj at a ragne. You can bring the gun, but you cannot bring the 17 round mags. You'll need to dig up 10 rounders to make use of it. Travel limitations would remain the same. 3) You want to bring an ar pattern gun with a vortex flash hider, collapsible stock and bayonet lug still intact to a NJ 3 gun match, and even have 15 round mags. No, you cannot transport that rifle into NJ if you are not passing through. Since NJ would be an end point, you are subjected to the NJ firearms laws, and that would be a banned rifle under the NJ assault weapon ban.

Dear god, this "fine motor skills" BS makes me want to punch people. Are you doing something with your hands other than making flapping motions with them held like paddles that originate form the wrist? You HAVE to when operating a firearms? You don't say?!?! THEN YOU ARE USING FINE MOTOR SKILLS!!! Seriously, go talk to a neurologist or anyone well versed in child development. Words have meaning, and a bunch of people who whine about people mixing up clip and magazine could definitely use to pull their heads out of their behinds and learn the meanings of the words they use regularly. Anyone who uses the phrase "quick and effective" should have at least an approximate idea of how long it takes to do said thing effectively, or stop saying they are doing it quick. As for optics vs. iron? I've broken 4 or 5 iron sights just during normal use. I've broken 1 optic through normal use. All the rest have withstood normal use and abuse and then some. That includes a cheap chinese made 1-4x scope that I took an angle grinder to so I could use a scope tail on it. Still worked fine. As for irons being some sort of lost art, I received about 5 minutes of instruction and about 20 minutes of critiqued practice with them in my entire life, and they aren't that hard to use. It's not some black art that makes you a real man and puts hair on your chest. I was maybe 11 when I learned how to use them. They are, however, extremely limited by the quality of the shooters vision. Various optics are MUCH, MUCH more accessible to the entirety of people who may want to shoot in that regard. They go from 0-fun a lot faster, and you don't have to keep an iron sighted only gun on hand to hassle newbies with if you let them use optics. This I suspect is the main reason for irons becoming marginalized.

Check your public library. A number of them are getting 3d printers. Staples is rolling out a 3d printing service. Only in the Bergenfield store for NJ though.

You haven't been paying attention like a decade ago in NY. The official gun grabber term is "the black powder loophole" NYC and chicago tried to make that one fly and... well it didn't.

I said it could be your die or a combo because a contributing factor could be the shape of the seating stem vs the bullet. As for crimp, any crimp that occurs while seating the bullet is a roll crimp. taper crimp would be a separate die.

Your fault or your die's fault or a bit of both. They were not seated straight, and someone *cough* *cough* pushed real hard like on the handle in that state and shaved the plating. Your answer of belling the case mouth is the appropriate answer. The lee powder through belling die does a pretty nice job without distoritng the case too much. Better than anyone else's in my experience, and I've loaded a lot of plated. BTW, Don't fire those like that. Good luck getting them out, I'd just toss them. Although it being .45, a kinetic puller might work easier. I've used them with success for .45 plated that's softer than extreme. .40 extreme's though... not worth my time unless I really need something out from inside the case. the destroy kinetic pullers too fast, and collet pullers don't get them out without mangling the bullet beyond any useful purpose. It also looks like you are using a roll crimp, which isn't the best idea with plated. If you can pull one intact, if it isn't compromising the plating it should be fine.

After the bajillionth time calling them bullets as they properly should be resulted in wasting a noticable amount of time because most of the population got used to calling a cartridge a bullet. As for where? wideners, graf and sons, midway, midsouth shooters supply, nereloading, etc. midsouth and midway get most of my orders for standard stocked stuff in that order. nereloading has been doing well for me for pull downs and other interesting and odd stuff, with wideners in the number 2 spot for that. grafs I price check and inventory check when things are out, but they usually don't win the cross shopping competition.

What you are talking about is constructive intent. Go look at it's success rate as a legal argument in court. AS far as I have been able to discern, constructive intent can get you a bill for legal fees, fines, or used as justification for taking your property, but it doesn't do well in getting an actual conviction. So I guess it depends on if by SHTF you mean going to jail long term or going to court and dealing with whatever jail time bail issues cause you. The law says a high capacity magazine is one capable of reliably feeding more than 15 rounds. A tube and follower is not that. What you would have is their claim of constructive intent vs. your claim of planning to remanufacture them into compliant magazines. What the cost of making that legal argument would be I can't say. It isn't free.

It gives the opportunity for a shorter route to SCOTUS, and the opportunity for a better formulated argument than the NJ case.

You can in fact not be well liked by the board and not thrown out of the club. I tend to only bitch when I see things that jeapordize the ability of the club to continue to function into the future. It's a club. You enter into a contract to participate in it. That contract places limitations on both parties. Contracts do allow for you willingly giving up natural rights. Being told to go elsewhere impacts your ability to own and use a firearm not at all on a grand scale. It may make it less convenient, but in no way have they generally violated anyone's constitutional rights. Making believe it is so is the kind of behavior that makes people believe you are a bit wackadoo or at least to assume that everything else you state is also an overblown exaggeration. Do I believe the board is doing illegal things? Not in general, although I do think that failing to provide detailed third party accounting of the disposition of membership dues will not stand up to outside scrutiny. Do I believe they are doing stuff that would be regarded as unpopular by a significant chunk of the membership? Yes, absolutely. Enough to get them tossed out? Probably not. Enough to make people realize they think they are way less clever than they think they are and to have a flood of people try to volunteer the boards labor to do things some other way that is, more than likely, also stupid? Definitely. I think they got legal advice in line with my reasoning above and that is why we see them now hiring out a third party for an audit.

Seriously, I'll complain about the board more than enough, but NOBODY has any intrinsic RIGHT to anything the club does. Period. Both the club and members have contractual obligations. That's it. The club does indeed have the option to ban individuals from the club, and not just due to safety. They indeed have a legal right to refuse service to anyone for any reason that does not get into the realm of protected classes of people (i.e. race, erligion, disability, etc. ).

Fire, fire cleans everything.

IMO, I'd leave the trigger in and sell the conversion barrel and mags separately. The mags, especially if not showing any rust, can probably be sold at close to retail (shipping included). The abrrel you would disocunt less than you would if it was included (whoever buys it is going to want either 9 or 40, and isn't going to want to pay much for the other caliber bits).

Well, listening to the "radio" content, as far as I can tell it's references to events in the democratic republic of congo where various warlords/gangs/whatever "campaigned" via hacking up the elderly and childdren with machettes if they didn't vote for them as well as mixing in some references to necklacing (shoving a tire over your torso and arms and filling it with gasoline and settig you on fire as a form of retirbution for whatever). There have been a number of expose's and documentaries on it since at least about 1993? Some seriously greusome stuff. You'd think that having your arms hacked off and not getting any real medical attention would kill you, but apparently you can wind up wlaking around with your rotting forearms danling by threads of flesh.

The only caveat I have with that statement is that is that you should check out who is affiliated with the club's attourney. That is probably my #3 hit on what the board is doing that it could catch some serious legal flak for. It is one of those instances where having amember affiliated/associated entity might be saving us money, but I'd rather pay another party more even to just avoid the appearance of impropriety. The board's claims of why the councel we have is the best choice seems to be they know how to deal with property issues with the town and pinelands commission. That's fine if true, and we could pay them for that. However as far as knowing the legal ins and outs of running an entity structured as our club is, theres a whole mess of unaffiliated lawyer types who know that stuff, and I think we'd be best off using one of them for anything having to do with the issues involving the charter or finances. That and 3rd party accounting should be the norm. We are moving towards the latter more and more, it' helped tremendously with membership funds issues, I think they will find that going tht way will help tremendously with these questions of finacnial propriety just as much. Especially comparedto their current tactic of "shut up don't question us" which is really shorthand for we've been lazy and just writing checks without thinking too much about it.

I dare you to find documentaition on the plated in a polygonal barrel. They don't lead the barrel like lead, so no gunk build up issue.

I'll tell you what I know to be true. The Board wastes money, that is for certain. They consistently believe they don't need expert advice, and have repeatedly gone the path of having ot essentially spend some money twice because reality told them they didn't know best and in fact they did need expert advice. Do they do anything that isn't permissible by law? Not that I'm aware of, but the law allows a lot. The two most likely culprits for that tag would be how they went about converting the club into a non-profit (the board disagrees with my take on it form the by laws predating the conversion), and the lack of outside auditing, which they appear to be rectifying. On the other hand, bidding every single thing out is a good way to not have a club anymore.
