crunching some numbers, I doubt it. looked up number of police departments in NJ. Best I got was a list of them (maybe complete), sheriffs office, and prosecutors office. Came up with 198 departments including sheriffs office. That'd be 6.03 retired officers per department with a permit. That seems low. Especialy if you have to cram all the conditional permits for armed guards and armored truck drivers in there too. How many towns? 600+? Think there is an average of one politician or some other administrative individual who is connected and gets death threats on a regular basis?

I'll sum up my position. I do not think that you will see it take over the accessory market while the military still fields picatinny rails. So as a standard, IMO it should be regarded as something you WILL have to add rail segments to. That being said, it is easier to juggle rail segments than the current offerings out there for adding on a tube. MOre importantly, recently some nicer metal rail segments have dropped below the cost of additional rail segments on reasonably priced add a rail type tubes out there. However, I do not yet see as good an offering in terms of quality/value for money out there yet. We had only premium offerings, regardless of the construction being premium, and now we have some brands trying to be bargain priced. What is still needed IMO are the good values to hit the market (or more premium priced offerings to adjust price downards with more competition on the low end). Right now, I still wouldn't put one on a new build as the price/performance ratio still isn't there, and I tend to not build ultra premium builds with $300 tubes (expensive triggers, yes, tubes no). 6 months to a year form now? I probably would as a number of the good value makers from the last modular go round were showing their keymod offerings at SHOT this year. Given the hassle and cost of coming up with my tool and method for dealing with the bolt through tube type of modular rails, I'd pay about a $30 premium for keybod IMO. Which would put me in the $175-210 range. When something shows up in there with a decent weight, decent mounting to the upper, and two pieces of 2 inch and one piece of 4 inch rail included, I'd say that there would be zero reason left to NOT do keymod. MI has made an interesting item that I can finagle through discounts to be in that range, but I'd have to pick up the rail segments separately, and it looks like it would be a PITA to get it timed 100% spot on while getting gas tube alignment and torque right.

If you repeat something often enough and loud enough, people may take for granted that it is true without question. This can happen regardless of the party affiliation of those crafting the message. This is why I choose to get a big dump of headlines from both left and right leaning aggregators. It keeps you form getting one message repeated, and when you do see the same thing come up again and again, you can look at the sources and see where you are getting press releases repeated rather than news. It works kind of like this: http://teamcoco.com/video/conan-highlight-media-reacts-admit-it

Yes, but even if they don't care about the money, they do care about a guaranteed loss and having their ruling declared as a steaming pile of poop in great detail by someone more respected in said career path than themselves. It was probably unclear, but I'm not talking about the state refusing to take it to court, they would. That's kind of inherent in the bringing suit bit. I'm referring to the judge at the state level being willing to simultaneously piss away state funds on a lost cause, and to hitch his cart to some epic level dumbassery guaranteed to fail.

Did you make it out to any of the panel sessions for the governor's task force? There weren't really any young anits, and the age of the anti representatives definitely went all the way up to old fart level. There were even some old farts at the committee hearing in trenton on the anti side. I'd make the same call as you with the rallies hitting an average age in the mid-thirties. However, the youngest anti folks in large attendance were 40 something soccer moms, and they did have less 60+ types. So, not only were we pulling in more actively concerned young people, we were pulling in a broader demographic.

NO, the ruling is for the 9th circuit. Also, California has state pre-emption. The law in san diego is the law of the state, not any smaller entity. Otherwise it would have been shut down at the state court level as has happened with SF bans on firearm ownership time and again. They don't give a crap about 2a, but they do care about their chain of legal authority. IF it stands, than not only would any other case in California come upon this a precedent and lose badly, anything similar in any other 9th circuit court area could. Like say... Hawaii. The court order doesn't direct Hiwaii directly, but all it would take is a suit against the state. With a standing decision by the 9th, the state supreme court would be increadibly stupid to waste the time and money taking it there to lose.

Exactly what I was thinking. Those are reloads, and it looks like poorly made ones at that, which is why the primers are popping. Definitely over pressure. Mixed years in a box. VEry weird. To the OP, What vendor did you get the boxes from? Were they sealed? IF not, total scumbag vendor. If they were sealed, I'd contact federal and let them know which vendor you got them from.

Donation to saf guarantees it gets to the saf. If they have a mechanism to donate directly to the fund for this case, do that.

Don't do it. 14.5 I doubt will run at all. I've gotten to read the exploits of folks experimenting before 18" was common. People with machine shops and gunsmithing skills pretty much declared 17" the boundary for not just pissing money away. Some rifle length 16" guns were made that functioned with the right ammo but they were picky as all get out. You'll wast much less money playing around with an adjustable gas block, carrier, and buffer.

If you want NCR, you need impact. Which means 80's style for matrix or 70's style daisy wheel. I think a chain printer would be overkill. Tractor feed ensures proper register. There is no replacement technology, so I wouldn't bust their nuts over it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The markings and literature mean almost nothing. Some .223 reamers are slightly more generous than some 5.56. Then you have 5.56 Sam-r, and .223 Wylde. They all overlap. Want to know, buy a box of 5.56, fire a couple and examine the brass. If it has trouble ejecting, splits the case neck, etc. don't do that anymore.

Nope. Remember, right now we exist under an authority that does not recognize carry as a right, and thus they can do what they want to it. If scotus forces them to recognize it, they can't place undue burden. In our neck of the woods, that currently sits at about $6. If there weren't bigger fish to fry, I'd say setting up a class and going after the current fees might be worthwhile. I mean after all, the bs they encumber us with is for the publics benefit so they say. Then let the whole of the public foot the bill.

30 hours trying to correct fraud? Tip one: no debit cards. Tip two: don't bother with the police. Even this incidence which was worse than most ate up about five hours over three days. Also Amex rocks for the customer. B of A had me confirm or dispute each and every charge in the last 30 days with one incident. It gets more complicated for bad vendors, but an outright fraudulent charge for a single item is maybe 10-20 minutes with a rep and however long the hold is to get to them.

I don't disagree. My lightweight build has a semi auto carrier. That's my nod to weight reduction.

Google Corcoran tanker boot. There are slouchy froofy things in women's fashion that call themselves such, but we're not what was approved. The corcorans are close. Doh, for some reason the pic didn't show in tapatalk the first time. Those are them. They are pretty comfy.

Is it necessary? No. Will it help? Maybe. a logner sight radius measn you get more feedback from your sight picture (i.e. it'll look like a bad sight picture for less actual error in aiming). This can slow you down. Time matters in most competition, so you can make the math work for you with a shorter barrel.

Hmm size 15? Nope. moving on.

Yeah, but perfect practice makes perfect. Single stack 1911 mags don't let you practice bad habits. You either nail it or it goes all pear shaped. Get fast and reliable with relaods ona 1911, and anything double stack is cake.

Except it doesn't actually say anything pro gun except in the one "special" episode. NOrmally it says something like $2.76 or something. Groening is very anti.

Not really. If you want it to work, yeah you can fix the problem easier and cheaper by modifying the buffer mass. However, you are better off fixing the source of the problem if your buffer and carrier are in spec. I can compensate for a bad gas block seal by lightening the carrier or buffer, but the reality is I should fix the leaky gas block. THe reality is that the only REAL point for lightening the carrier is to minimize inertia in recoil and return to battery thus reducing sight movement. To do this you lighten BOTH the carrier and buffer. Hence things like the JP low mass carrier and buffer. There are a lot of sketch low mass carriers out there IMO. One of the things a good low mass carrier will have is a similar distribution of mass to a stock carrier so as to avoid carrier tilt. Lighten it asymmetrically, and you can wind up wiht problems jsut like the early revision of the piston uppers. IMO the spikes one is done cheaply and poorly, which is common when you see a light carrier that tries to retain forward assist capability. Examples of ones that do it right are the young's lightened carrier ( http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=1010 ), the seekins ( https://www.primaryarms.com/Seekins-Precision-Low-Mass-M16-Bolt-Carrier-Group-p/0011570005.htm ) and for the piston guys, the adams arms lightweight carrier (http://www.adamsarms.net/adams-arms-low-mass-bolt-carrier). Or you can really commit and go with the JP low mass carrier (http://www.jprifles.com/1.4.7_bc.php ) combined with their lightened buffer or their spring based buffer replacement. FOr a light buffer, you can either go JP, or you can take out weights from a stock buffer and replace them with a spacer or nothing at all. Then match it with a good adjustable gas block and get ready to spend some money on ammo tuning it. would I like a nice setup like that? sure, but definitely not as my only gun.

Do you use your gun when you sweat? I do. My results with the stuff I have used that the video has is in line with their results. In my experience, CLP outperforms frog lube in corrosion resistance by a bit and neither are super awesome. IMO frog lube is NOT worth the price. I was jazzed for a non stinky wax/grease, and it doesn't cut it compared to most every other grease I have used in terms of staying where you put it. The liquid is on par with CLP at a higher price, but it smells not too awful, which might justify it for you. Currently, I use FP-10. a teeny bit more than CLP, it has a kind of cinnamon like scent to it. A coating lasts longer, but corrosion protection is about the same. I really don't rely on anything to CLP. THE C part gets done by a separate product, I just want a good all around LP. They all seem to be not that far apart unless you start going with a separate lube and protectant. Unfortunately simultaneous use of most L and P standalone products is contraindicated. There are three I actively avoid. 1) Wilson grease. It's not a grease IMO, and does not stay in place well as well as not cleaning or protecting. kind of a waste of money. 2) Boeshield. t-9. I've only ever found the spray. It's a decent protectant, but aa crap lube. It dries to a weird coating. On polished surfaces, not so bad, on matte surfaces it seems to stay sticky and pick up dust and lint. The real killer is that it penetrates, and I have had it cause unsafe conditions on multiple 1911 pattern guns by negatively interfering with the fire control parts. 3) militec-1. The stuff seemed to actively promote corrosion. Total crap as a lube. I got mine as a free sample in a grab bag and was pissed with the results.

Nose to charging handle. If that is not the proper eye relief for the scope, move the scope until it is. It's why the larue SPR-e mount and AD recon-x mount as well as others exist.

Uhh.. If grabbing your hat is a necessary key element of doing a speed rock, perhaps you need to spec a new hat.

OK I'll bite, keeping in mind I said it is all partisan crap. Leave out the financial news segment(s), and for a 24 hour news cycle, most of your big players like fox, cnn, and MSNBC are discussing very, very few talking points, and they are mostly jsut that. Not news but talking points. BBC news covers a WHOLE lot more in just an hour than the news networks. There's less staged bickering about the topics, but a lot more topics and in many cases a lot more detail. That doesn't mean it doesn't come with a noticeably UK perspective attached. Al Jazeera is similar. IMO, they are more biased but work harder to hide it on the american network. It's also a bit much. 24 hours of BBC news type density is a bit much. If you are content with being a passive consumer of news, then no, you probably won't like it. On the other hand if you want ot have topics to inform yourself over, they produce a lot more points to look at than the three primary cable news channels. DO I watch them? No. I don't watch my news, it wastes time. I do however subscribe to news digests of several highly partisan left and right online news aggregators. In a few minutes, you cna get a very good idea of what both sides are lying to you about, and more interestingly, the common methodology of their lying and partisanship. ETA: It also has the benefit of showing how much common ground there is between the left and right if you just ignored the scumbags beating the drums of partisanship to ensure a death-grip on their political position. An example from today would be a hard left article on how J-1 visas are being abused to get cheap overseas labor imported legally. The rank and file of the right really aren't in disagreement that they would like things like this to stop. You can focus on being pissed at the other side, or maybe people could agree that we should address the issues we agree upon.

It's a number of things. Back in the mid 90s I got my FID from edison. Six weeks. They had three times a week you could get printed, and someone was always there for those times.Most of the work was done by the licensing clerks because the town was big enough. There were two bottlenecks. 1) the state police. No not because they are magically slow for one town but not another, but because of the exchange of funds. 2) The chief of police. It's a very political position in that town, and he can't be bother to sign stuff for mere mortals. This would usually persist until the little old lady would set him straight about the order of things. I always suspected that such reminders revolved around the fact that not only was she there before him, she'd be there after him, but that her department generated revenue. Given her age at the time, I suspect she is gone now, and the process has suffered for it. One of the other common behaviors is to work in batches. You let them pile up until you have a solid chunk of work you could schedule an afternoon or day for, and then you push them all forward a notch. When I did my change of address in woodbridge, I talked with the officer doing it, and they would sort of do that. They'd more or less process twice a month. I got in right before, and the stack was about an inch thick.
