Nullify is a strong word. It sounds like gun store advice, and is worth what you paid for it. I would rather rely on rough motor reflexes if I am woken up in the middle of the night than worry about the break on a competition trigger. My quick access safe alternates between Glocks and S&W revolvers, all stock except for sights.

That's because it never happens on your watch Phil.

To be fair, i have seen a handful of threads on bad quality control on the new milled Arsenal SAM rifles. I believe they are coming out of the same Bulgarian factory as the SLR series guns. Basically, i would only order one i fondled in a store, or from a trusted vendor that inspected on arrival.

They are pretty nice, and I would consider one if I didn't already have a milled AK (Norinco MAK-90). When it comes to AK's though, "Buy American" is not something you generally hear. The build quality on most had been poor, although it sounds like a corner may being turned recently. The guns coming out of Eastern European armories (where they also make the guns for their troops) have proven to be better made and more reliable. For not much money, a Yugo N-PAP or O-PAP will give you a well put together rifle that is built like a tank, and from a real AK factory.

Do you think the sale and the unresponsiveness are related? Seriously, the site went to crap right after the e-mail went into my inbox.

I get my principals there mixed up. Was Milton the one whose wife worked there too? Phil was the one who owned the old place on ChambersBridge road?

My biggest grip with the online store is that it doesn't have anything in stock. All orders get shipped to Buds first, then to me. It usually takes about a week before I even see the status change. I ordered from Palmetto State Armory on the 15th. They put Buds to shame. My order is still "processing".

I never had a bad tie there or got treated rudely, although I had been forewarned to only buy guns they had in stock. The way they treated Wolfy left a bad taste in my mouth too. My biggest gripe was that their range officer was non-existent. I figured out not to go on nights when the Lakewood locals came to demonstrate their poor gun handling skills. I hate getting muzzle swept.

It's funny you mention that. I remember the topic from here a few years back. And I remember it being blamed on a tax error.

I have heard good things about this guy. I know a few folks that use him. I have spoken with him a few times. A little gruff, but not a bad guy. http://www.amarcherynj.com/

Kittery Trading Post is a nice 20 minute drive from my new digs Bob. Sig headquarters is 1/2 mile away. The Sig Academy is about 5 miles away. My shooting club (thanks to NJGF alumni RScalzo) is 1/2 hour away, near the Great Bay. We love it up here. I only miss the people and the pork roll, and I can have the latter shipped to me.

If you don't like stainless (like me), check out the 586. If you want the more classic look, and no safety lock on the side, look at used Model 19's. They are my favorite S&W revolvers by far.

Hey Ryan_J, thank you for sifting through the legalese and keeping up on current events, and explaining it all to us non-lawyer types. It is much appreciated.

One of each of course

The 45 version uses less easily found, and more expensive, Beretta Cougar 8045 magazines. Their capacity is only 8 rounds. The long barrel really helps small and fast calibers like 9mm. If you chrono the 45acp out of the Storm, it won't be much different than from a 1911. The 9mm will be a few hundred fps faster. The 40S&W is somewhere in the middle.

Excellent round for personnel. Has a soft steel core and an open space in the nose. It causes unpredictable tumbling once it hits a target. I don't know whether it is truth or bs, but supposedly the Afghans called it the "poison bullet" for its lethality. Ballistically, think of it as slightly downloaded 223. Oh, and it has no recoil at all.

I don't know more than the basic facts about the situation, but the author of this article sounds like a jerk too.

Maybe use emoticons? I didn't get the humor in it either. That is the problem with the written word. No facial cues or voice inflection to give away your intent.

I had the same problem with a Springfield Loaded 1911 in 9mm. It would not feed 115grain at all, 124 grain was hit-or-miss like you. It really liked the 147 grain, maybe because of the length. I got rid of the gun because of that fussiness. Try the 147 grain ammo.

Who else is going to tell him? If I am into guns enough to post on a gun forum and ask about the rules in a state I am considering moving to, do I really want the users there blowing smoke up my ass? There are posters who are joking ad say "Don't do it". I can see that getting old. Then there are posters giving the brutal, cold, hard facts of gun ownership in this state. And the taxes, and the crime, and traffic, and overcrowding, etc... I don't have objections to people pointing out the nice things about Jersey (i.e. food, beach, etc), although it doesn't seem to get mentioned much. Maybe, if the OP is lucky, he can find a way to make Pennsylvania work. You may think it's beating a dead horse. I think it is doing the OP a disservice by NOT making very clear the many down sides to living here.

So I am the necro poster, rejuvenating a long defunct thread... I have some experience now with safety razors and thought I would post. Reviews: Muhle Open Comb R41 This is like wielding a samurai word. The manufacturer should throw in a styptic pencil and roll of toilet paper. This is the most aggressive razor I have ever tried. All facial hair is scraped off in one pass. If you do not stretch your skin tautly, you will remove some flesh as well. You need to be meticulous. I used it once right after a short sleep and waking up at 4am for a road trip. Big mistake. For a week, I looked like I walked face first into a fan. On the positive side, this is by far the closest shave I have ever had or could conceive of having. And the razor does have a nice classic handle combined with a more modern looking head. I think using the R41 is the functional equivalent of a facial exfoliation, chemical peel, and a waxing. To be fair, it was a lot more forgiving when I used less sharp razors, like Derby. With Feather razors, this was a lethal instrument. It is the closest thing you will find to a straight razor shave. I sold it on eBay for $12 less than I bought it for. I would recommend it only for experienced safety razor users. http://www.amazon.com/Muhle-Double-Safety-Chrome-Plated/dp/B0047A6WLA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403789865&sr=8-1&keywords=muhle+r41 Edwin Jagger DE87. I bought this after selling off the Muhle. The EJ DE87 is the opposite end of the spectrum. It is completely non-aggressive and requires several passes to remove all facial hair if it is any more than a few days growth. It would make a fine daily shaver. It is not as useful if you are like me and shave twice a week (maybe 3 if my wife persuades me to on the weekend for an event). You do not get the ultra-close barbershop shave that the Muhle gives. It does fly across your face and does not irritate it. This razor is now in my travel bag. It is basically the safety razor equivalent of a Mach 3. It has very classic looks, which I appreciate. http://www.amazon.com/Edwin-Jagger-De87bl-Double-Safety/dp/B003LW0LWQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1403789889&sr=8-5&keywords=edwin+jagger Merkur Futur Shaving Perfection! I bought this razor after not being satisfied with the closeness of the shave from the Edwin Jagger DE87. It is adjustable, with 7 settings. Setting 1 (coarse) gives me about the same shave as the DE87. My standard setting now is 4. It gives me almost the closeness of the Muhle, without the angst and bloodshed, and takes me half as long. I plan on keep trying each higher setting until I find the perfect balance of closeness and aggressiveness. I have the satin finish model. I find it less slippery than the stainless model. The only thing I do not love is the futuristic looks. Oh well, the shave it gives more than makes up for its looks. I would recommend this razor to anyone interesting in trying out shaving with a safety razor. If you don't like it, you can get most of your money back selling on eBay. these are snatched up very quickly. http://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Futur-Safety-Razor-Finish/dp/B000JPKLUU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403789999&sr=8-1&keywords=merkur+futur

Truth to tell, I have a 40 conversion barrel for my Glock 20. I'll deny it if anyone asks though.

Somebody has a 40cal hiding in their gun safe.

Sorry about the lack of details. This was a hog hunt near Harrisburg PA. Mosin Rob puts them together once in a while.
