For the lower, try the DPMS parts kit Spike's Tactical sells. http://www.spikestactical.com/z/index.p ... cts_id=149 That's what i used for my Spikes Lower.

Ken, I'm sure you're right about the crosshairs. I actually tried doing it myself and tried working with your posted pic (but after I made the post unfortunately). The crosshairs look good in a picture but probably wouldn't come well out in an etching. Matt, That looks an awful lot like Exit 105 in Eatontown. Am I right?

Crosshairs in the circle?

To the best of my knowledge, they do not. I have a Glock 34. The stupid NJ 15 limit kept me from buying it for a while, but it's such a good gun I swallowed my pride and accepted life with the 10 rounder.

As Columbo used to say. Just one more thing... Just kidding. Actually, that looks good to me. Thanks Ken. P.S. You have to admit this version looks better.

OK, I am a pain in the ass but.... Since you're tinkering with the logo anyway, can you try writing the "NJGunForums.com" and bullet across the New Jersey state, instead of writing it in the bar going across the circle. It makes me think of the "anti" sign of a circle with a line through it (a la Ghostbusters). Thanks Ken

First of all, I want to say that I am artistically declined. And I have no idea how to write letters on the border of a curved picture. I think it would look better with a real GSP template (I used the crappy WFMU model), the "Gun Control..." motto around the outside border and properly sized fint across the middle. Here is my rudimentary attempt:

I am still in regardless of the design, but I agree with Caine. I think that we should have a design that screams "New Jersey" more than "gun" since the design will be on a gun already. Here are my three suggestions for Jerseyana on our personalized AR lowers: Modified Garden State Parkway logo (like WFMU and BennyGoHome did in these) - This is my favorite and could definitely be engraved. Pork Roll, Egg & Cheese Sandwich (that's Taylor Ham for you North Jerseyans). What is more Jersey than that? People in New York have no idea what you're talking about when you mention pork roll. People in Pennsylvania aren't interested unless it has Scrapple in it. I will admit that it may be hard to etch this into the lower. New Jersey State Outline - I like Caine's idea

I was considering buying one at shore Shot a few years ago. I really liked the LDA (light double action) trigger, and the gun shot extremely well. The reason I didn't buy it was that the gun felt cheap to me. I know there are Para lovers out there, and I'm sure they are satisfied with the quality, but to me it just didn't feel well made.

I have handled a number of CZ rifles and find their quality to be excellent. I do not own any though and haven't shot them either, so take my recommendation for what you think it is worth.

There are a few reasons I can think of: 1) GSG is not being made any more because of a lawsuit by HK stating that the design was stolen from one of their rifles. I believe that the company will still be supporting it with parts and service, but for how long is anybody's guess. 2) The thing is a pain to clean. The gun is fun to shoot, but there are others I would go with first. Take a look at the Marlin 60, or 725 if you prefer a magazine instead of a mag feeding tube. Ruger 10/22's are really popular, but the out-of-the-box Marlin is cheaper (and will shoot circles around it, according to the internet commandos). I have a Winchester bolt action Wildcat that is very accurate, but I wouldn't recommend it because it's actually a re-badged Russian TOZ rifle. I buy foreign made guns, but I expect guns from American manufacturers to actually be made here. My mistake for not doing more research on it before I bought it.

Which combo did you get? I bought the Mossberg 500 security combo. It has a shorty barrel for home protection and a 28 vented rib barrel for trap, hunting, etc. I know they make other combos that have rifled slug barrels. Oh, and enjoy!

I figured I would give a shout because I got an e-mail notification from Beretta that they have these magazines in stock from their online store. These mags can be used in the Storm CX4 carbine and the Beretta Cougar 8045 (both great guns!). The aftermarket Promag version is crap, and new OEM versions are nearly impossible to find and go for a lot more money on GunBroker. I am speaking from experience.

First of all, you will love the Marlin lever gun in whatever caliber and finish you get it in. I have heard good things about dealing with Legacy. On the down side, I have looked at their website and find the prices to be on the high to very high side. This is in comparison with other online retailers though. It may be more in line with other brick-and-mortar shops though, especially in New Jersey. If you're not in love with stainless (I don't care for it, especially on "classic" guns), then check out Olde English Outfitters. I bought mine from them. They shipped the rifle to my FFL for $10 (it arrived in 2 days!) and their price was super reasonable ($529). And that was for a gun that is near impossible to find without a $75 to $100 markup on GunBroker. Unless you need to hold the rifle in your hands as you purchase it (I know some people will not buy a gun unless they can), I would suggest going with Olde English. http://www.oeoutfitters.com/scripts/pro ... ategory=26

The answer is a qualified yes. Some ammo is just too large for a standard AR15 magwell. You need a different lower to shoot 308, 338 Federal, 458 SOCOM. You can use your existing lower for: 223/5.56 - stock upper 22LR - Check out Spike's Tactical (http://www.spikestactical.com/z/index.p ... cts_id=122) I can't say enough good things about mine. 9mm - Spike's makes these too, but you would need to have them restrict the magazine to 15 rounds. (http://www.spikestactical.com/z/index.p ... cts_id=287) 9mm - Rock River Arms. I have their stocks on my guns and think they make good products. (http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm? ... ory_id=239) 6.8SPC - Rock River (http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm? ... ory_id=249) 6.5 Grendel - http://www.alexanderarms.com/siteshoppe ... 15&item=30 I hear mixed reviews about Olympic Arms, but they make a lot of different uppers. Pistol Calibers (http://www.olyarms.com/index.php?page=s ... &Itemid=37) Rifle Calibers (http://www.olyarms.com/index.php?page=s ... &Itemid=37) There are plenty more options out there. These are just some of the more popular ones. Have fun!

LEO only at Lawmen in Paterson... I think that may only be for gun purchases. I had my GSSF certificate for a Glock discount and they honored it, and the closest I come to being a cop is my haircut.

When I bought my Glock 34 at Lawmen's Supply in Paterson, they installed my night sights for free with my purchase. You might give them a call.

Lesson 1 learned in AR Lower build: Right now my frustration is coming from roll pins. I spoke the the guy at Spike Tactical and he told me that the anodizing process sometimes tightens the roll pin feed holes. I was using vice grips and a hammer to get the damn thing through the trigger guard ears and bolt release hinge. Spike's will be sending me new roll pins (since my ham-handed technique has made my pins out-of-round). My new tactic will be to use drill bits to slightly expand these holes so the roll pins can squeeze in there. I will go easy so the pins don't fall out or get loose. Anticipating Lesson 2 to follow in short order

This is what will get you shot at these days: 1) reporting on illegal immigration's true costs to society 2) insisting that the government start enforcing border security and acting to deport those who are here illegally. New Jersey sucks. Don't give in to them, Lou!

No problem. I just wanted people to know it wasn't one of those "I heard it on the Interweb" stories.

I thought that front site was a little off. That looks good to me. Would the skeletonized trigger come out in an engraving that small? I like it better than the Para LDA trigger from earlier designs. Maybe the regular GI solid trigger would come out best. Take my suggestions with a shaker of salt though. As Archie Bunker might say, "I'm artistically declined."

I learned first hand about this practice at Costco. I had been looking for a big screen TV and knew the exact model I was looking for. A friend belonged to Costco and told me they had just what I was looking for. Visually it was identical in size and form to what I wanted. The model number was just a bit different. I went home and went to the manufacturer's web site, and the model number did not show up. I figured that maybe it was a prior year's model number, so I googled it. I was instantly awash in a s***storm of posts explaining why not to get the model I saw. It was a special version just for certain retailers. There were several fetaures missing or downgraded from the model I really wanted (most of which I don't remember now). One of them had to do with a substandard picture-in-picture tuner. While this may not always be the case, it certainly does not hurt to look at the fine print when buying at one of these chains.
