Dawson makes base pad extensions that are not capacity increasing. They work nicely with the STI mag well. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=8000005B-1388517800 I have several. If you need them live with silver. I have had black ones on back order for well over a year now.

Can you brass plate aluminum? Some of these would be good for a steampunk looking ar.

Well multiple people have said that the TV show will be finished before the books. Even Martin has suggested it is probable at this point, and that if that has to be the case, people should view it like they do different writers having runs with different story arcs for the same cahracters in comic books. IMO, if you want coherence between versions, you want Martin to kick it ASAP, and the estate can call in Brandond Sanderson and the writers of the TV show, and they can hammer out the rest of the series. It'll be done in a couple years. That dude writes like a machine.

Colorado. There's more than a bit of speculation by some that any magazine with a removable baseplate could be considered illegal regardless of it's designed capacity as it could be construed by a judge to be "designed to be readily converted". If it was designed as high capacity, but has been permanently alatered, it is excluded form being considered a high capacity magazine. Much like NJ, nobody specified what imprecise language means in terms of practical use.

To add to the cons.. potentially... is what it does to the draw given your stature and your chosen gear. Want to run a trigger guard only race hoslter and point it at your sack like some folks think is cool, you probably don't care. Want to run it in a dropped and offset kydex, or a race holster in a similar position, it may induce you to shrug on the draw depending on your build. That gets worse with no drop, or no drop riding high on your body for whatever reason.

IMO that thing is not a good use of the money. Realistically to get it to work, you need a vise. It also doesn't play well with a number of slide profiles, and will readily destroy itself. Works great with 1911 pattern guns, but realistically, so does a vise, a hammer, and some brass punches. That fisher solutions one looks like a number of pushers that work pretty well though.

You have 15 round mags, which are legal in NJ. The good news is that the follower keeps it at 15, which si the hard part with CZ pattern mags. THe bad news is that if osmeday you need to be compliant with a 10 round limit, no that spacer is not good to go for that. However, that isn't the law right now. The law is 15, and you have perfectly valid 15 round mags that you should feel free to use.

I could have sworn the budget was $100, but I'm not finding it in the thread now. If you are going cheap, Becker BK2. Doesn't get you the sheath, but I don't recall a heck of a lot shipping with a kydex sheath suitable for IWB carry, so it isn't going to be much of a comparison point. The BK2 will do the rest of what you want though.

During the fed ban, some krink type comps got blessed, some did not. For nj, I'd say this is a no go simply because of the threaded cap. The original krink uses a retaining clip iirc. Krink style comps need to be cleaned, so pinning the cap isn't worthwhile IMO.

That is, unfortunately, not the current school of thought. The mantra went from "does this affect myself, my family, my community, my country, and what do they need to know?" to "what effect does your reporting have on the community or nation." Increasingly journalism as a matter of instruction sees a neutral point of view as a negative thing. If they haven't gone that way, they have gone the way of "news is business, and this is how the industry works."

Yes and much more. Harmony rocks. Only down side is that unless they updated the application one PC can program one remote. Which is f-in stupid.

+1000 Being aware of dealing with bulky clothing while reholstering is one skill that is very commonly missing at matches. People still look at me funny when I warn them about it like I would for "something dangerous".

Well I'll put in my $0.02. You can list all the things you like, but there are only so many things they can sell you without being a FDA approved drug. Everything listed here employs one of a few functional ingredients that aren't there to make it smell pretty or look pretty. That's petrolatum (aka vaseline or petroleum jelly), glycerin, and a bunch of animal or plant derived waxes or oils. Most of the work is being done by those first two. Petroleum jelly IMO kind of sucks at the moisturizing job. What it does do well is act as a barrier. It will keep moisturized skin from drying out if used as a barrier, and it will give chapped skin time to heel by preventing more chapping. Personally I don't like the stuff and if I need something to act as a protective barrier I much prefer something that combines bees wax and lanolin (shooting related confession, I actually have used royal die and sizing lube in paste form for this, love the smell). If you have callouses that are cracking, or have gotten so dried out you are getting cracks, I find that it doesn't work so hot since you need some TLC to get back to a point where the protection does you any good. I find glycerin to work better at soothing and at helping dried out skin to heal, and for helping to soften callouses somewhat. all of the above should in general be applied to nice moist skin (aka, just after the shower) to try and help trap the moisture in there long enough for the skint o do something with it. Using oils helps the skin do it's thing as well, and in general, tree oils work better than other things IMO (they also tend to be more viscous, which I suspect plays a part in that). Some products will add menthol to the mix. Menthol helps things penetrate into the skin. I found it to be really effective in getting the oil to be effective in doing its thing, but it is pretty non discriminatory about what it helps pass through the skin. Keep that in mind if you get a lot of nasty stuff on your hands. Examples Corn huskers - glycerin and SD alcohol 40 do the heavy lifting. glycerin is the humectant, and the alcohol is an emollient. Bag balm - lanolin and petroleum jelly plus a component that acts as an anti-microbial. Eucarin Original - lanolin (emollient) , petroleum jelly (barrier), mineral oil (barrier), a mineral wax (barrier) and some stuff to help absorption into the skin along with water of course. Hoofmaker - glycerin, lanolin, a few natural plant oils, and collagen (actually a useful ingredient in healing wounds, which cracking counts as). Okeefes working hands - glycerin (humectant), Dimethicone (FDA approved silicon oil, acts as an emollient), Paraffin (wax barrier), Allantoin (in this use, primarily likely used ot help you slough off dead callous), boric acid (likely used as an anti bacterial), and mineral oil (barrier). It ain't rocket science. Most of the chemical wizardry involved in these htings is to keep them form separating or turning into a rock, and to look and smell reasonable.

No because you have to pull the trigger for each round fired. This falls in the concealable category of the nfa rules. If I take an otherwise legal firearm, and disguise it or conceal it, technically I have violated the terms of the nfa. It's outside the bounds of affecting sale, but when used as such, The user has put themselves in possession of an untaxed nfa item. The brace is similar. You build it, sell it, and use it as intended, it's a pistol and not nfa. You shoulder it, it becomes an sbr. You stop shouldering it and nobody saw it, poof it's a pistol again for all practical purposes. BATFE isn't clairvoyant. However with YouTube, they don't need to be if you are stupid enough.

Last time I saw a sog fixed blade was probably back in 96-97. Iirc it was a tiger shark. Overall it was decent if a little pricey for the total package. The blade profile IMO was a bit odd. I bought one of their folders I. The recent past, and the fit and finish was... rough. Everything came straight off the cnc, grinder, out of the mold without much tlc. Material choices were decent, and the on sale price wasn't absurd, but I don't think I'd buy another one without seeing it first. For fixed blade, I always look at what swamp rat has on offer first. Scrapyard knife works is even more cost conscious choice. Both are busse knives offshoots. Nothing fancy. Properly heat treated 1095 or modified 1095. Take a buttload of abuse in stride though. I've beaten the snot out of my 7" camp tramp.

If you are going to bug an ffl, make sure it is an 07 known to do compliance work. Some are stupid enough to do you more harm than good. Constructive intent doesn't have a great record of success in courts, but it can win you a tour of the legal system that is far from free. The only thing involving firearms in nj not fraught with legal peril is not owning them.

And the giant screwdriver.

It beats Vegemite.

Well both hit NJ. Looks like USPS has some issues this year unless you are amazon.

Well, the stuff I ordered the 8th hit nj. *sigh*

I've got some orders for parts in and have been waiting since 12-2 for one. Anyone else experiencing delays or getting your stuff on time? Just wondering. Tomorrow they get the it's been ten days since you shipped, where's my stuff call.

I guess you are looking at 9mm then. Dawson precision sells ten rounders in various lengths.

Yeah they had the white food safe ones in the paint section. They either aren't getting more, someone snags them before me, or they moved them on me. What section did you find them in?

For 40, 126mm mags = 15 rounds no pinning needed.

Yeah they haven't had them the last few months.
