STI Trojan Feed problems - help
Well it looks like a 3 point jam, and either the hood is messed up, the underside of the slide is, the mag is, or the ammo is. The bullet is tilted up pretty far, which means the feed ramp is probably not part of the equation. For ammo, especially if reloading, make sure your crimp is taking all the belling out, and taper crimp, not roll crimp. But too much lip on the case mouth can cause things to slow down and turn into a 3 point jam. SOmetimes bullet profile does it too, but it look slike run of the mill FMJ round nose 9mm stuff, which is pretty forgiving. In general always check the underside of the barrel hood for excessive roughness or damage causing the bullet to drag more and slow down. Additionally for a number of smei auto designs, the rail on the underside that strips the next round can have something wrong with it causing it to do so improperly. It's possible a draggin disconnector can do it too on a 1911, not sure though. For mags, in general, look for the feed lips being open too wide at the front causing the cartridge to tilt up too much, being too tight anywhere, slowing the speed at which the spring pushes up the stack of ammo, the mag body being out of square or warped, and causing the same slowness, or damage to the follower that causes binding. For 9mm 1911 mags, if they shorten the front to back dimensions via a shim, the shim having moved can cause it. I've seen metalform 9mm mags that have a shim in the back that is staked where the shim is shorter than the top to bottom dimension of the spine of the mag, and they can get pushed down into the mag a bit. Which leaves the mag with a deeper dimension front to back at the top than for msot of the mag. Which results in the cartridge being flicked up as the slide moves fully rearward due to the friction and the case head pivoting over the end of the shim rather than stopping on a properly positioned shim. Also how old is the torjan. They had funky mag releases for a while that did not locate the magazine in the same spot as most 1911s did. I forget if that persisted until the introduction of the 9mm version or not.

Why does NJ law mention "members of rifle and pistol clubs"
clubs that file membership lists get an exemption to the rules about what constitutes a transfer. I also suspect that the subtle wording difference might have been to keep ANJRPC or someone happy and might come down to zoning. There is such a thing as being zones as a gun range. A number of ranges operate under a varience or initial use grandfathering rather than haivng specific zoning as a range.

The Walking Dead
It's the same world, do the writers can do anything they want. But the show runners say it isn't Georgia for the location, and that the show has to stand on its own. Since the only way out of the main group seems to be via body bag, road trips are unlikely. I can see why they would avoid crossovers, the second you do it, you have limited the writing choices for both series severely.
- So who has a Desert Eagle?

The Walking Dead
It's official, greenlighted, has a show runner and a producer. It won't feature any of the same cast or happen in the same geographic area. That's bout the sum total of the news.

Shooting steel targets
Ignore vlad's 3/4" I dunno what he meant to type, but that's not an item anyone stocks. There's 3/8" and 1/2" that is common. I have some 1/2 plates I use at 50 and have had no issues. 3/8 starts to get beat up around the edges quickly at that range from 5.56 velocity stuff. As for how to set it up, figure out how to hang it and let it dangle. I use hardened carriage bolts->target->washer->1-2 nuts->washer->chain->washer->1-2 nuts. the number of nuts depends on the thickness of the chain and the size of the nuts/bolts that work with the target as well as the size of the target. The net result though is that when hanging the top is farther towars the shooter than the base, meaning anything bouncing off hits the ground.

AIM Point PRO
They cost more than larue, like $100 more, why would I buy them? Well at least for scopes. Their aimpoint mount is just a few bucks more. They are made well. and they use some funky fasteners to boot.

Building a 10/22 Bench Gun-- Where to Start?
you need to go to rimfirecentral.com all the answers 10/22 are there for however you want to build it. Myself I used a bell and carleson anschutz style stock and a adams and bennett barrel. at 25 yards indoors, using good ammo I got a 5 shot group that was under 0.18" center to center.

What Will SCOTUS Do
From where? 2, 3, 4 and 9 are done. 9 may not reach SCOTUS. 1 Maybe? That's about all that is left with the right setup to have a clean case that doesn't involve felony acts. Every other circuit has precedent that has been left standing or are in a wonky state like 9. Unfortunately, I think the only thing you can really come to a conclusion about is that there were not 5 pro RKBA votes, unless some were technically pro in a very marginal way, which is effectively the same thing. There may not have been 5 anti votes, but there could have been with the antis only not forcing cert due to mid-term elections. IT could also be 3 3 3. With 3 very pro, 3 willing to endanger a lot of stuff to limit the 2nd in any way possible, and 3 who don't want to let those other two factions do what they want. The most optimistic view at this point is that they expect 9 will settle down to something, and 1 will be a source of another case, and then they will have ALL the positions in an there is pretty much a guarantee at that point that any decision will not simply result in a repeat of ah not this crap again in short order.

another reloading question, reaming primer pocket and chamfering neck
Chamfering pistol cases can ruin them. You can either cause them to shave lead, coated, or plated, or you can cause splits to start easier.

A3666: Prohibits mail order/internet/phone sales of ammunition
Which means more people will get into the business of selling it. The simplest solution to this are bulk buys. FFLs have done them before, and they'll do them again. The problem in need of a solution is getting good pricing and availability requires large orders. Carrying it as inventory is risky. Doing group buys/bulk orders is not. However, in the past the problem was lining up customers. With a law like this there wouldn't be nearly the issue with eihter of thsoe strategies that there is today.

First reloading scare
It actually can if it is mis-adjusted. I can only confirm this for squibs, not for over charges.

Cheapest online Q or IDPA targets including shipping
absolute cheapest is scrap cardboard with speedwell's practice paper stapled to it. Unless you don't want to see the scoring borders at a distance.

Remington Ammo quality?
UMC pistol is fine. Golden bullet and osme of their other cheap .22? I'd rather not. Their center fire rifle offerings are a mixed bag.

What Will SCOTUS Do
Pretty much. Fun times. I hope a conservative circuit applies the reasoning in drake to Roe vs. Wade. I personally don't give a crap about abortion, but if they are going to set the process on fire, I'd like to see as many as possible get burned as fast as possible to point out that there is a problem.

What Will SCOTUS Do
The problem with that us the 9th was operating on a pretty finite timeline. If I understand it right, all the options are back on the table, and it can really drag out. Their record for this is 12 years.

First reloading scare
Only for entertainment. Most billets vary between 1-2 grains same with cases. Ones heavier, ones lighter, is it the bullet, the case, a squib, or a double charge?
-
What Will SCOTUS Do
Me, I'm being optimistic. In my little world they are going for summary dismissal and it's being relisted because they are debating a proper, detailed judicial test to put in the decision.

It doesn't work. It will look like it works until it evaporates. It might not work like it was designed to but it isn't inert.

Question on barrel to upper receiver fit
Bcm is tight, as are others like the Rainer billet upper. My solution is a block of scrap wood and drill a hole in it with a spade bit or equivalent. Put it over the barrel, put a piece of PVC pipe over that and use a hammer on the pipe. Just be sure to put done grease on the extension if you want to get it back out. I used a delrin rod for that. It really didn't take a lot of force in either direction.

Smart Gun law kicks in now?
I pointed out in a discussion with some antis about this that armatix could be selling them if they want to. FFLs aren't expensive, and a small investment could get them a distributor network in place. There's a reason they aren't doing that. There's also a reason it got put on the approved registry in CA despite not meeting the current criteria. That's because nobody is interested in the business of selling it, they are only interested in the politics of selling it.

Going in for meniscus surgery in my knee, anyone get this done?
They gave me percodan for one and percocet for the other. Didn't really do crap for the pain, but made it ahrd to focus and made me drowsy. For the first 2-3 days I took one before bed, then tossed them.
