Wilson upgrade to Sig 1911 - is it worth it?
Are you really that attached to the Sig? Sell it and put the money towards a new gun. You can be looking at the semi-customs. Les Baers run from $1900 and up. Ed Browns can start in the low $2000's. Even a S&W Performance Series can be had for $1800 bucks or so.

NRA membership and flood of junk email
I get weight loss ads, hair replacement ads, get-rich ads, penis enlargement ads. I figured someone was spying on me.

shope in PA with the best selections of M1 Garands?
Why not take a longer drive to CMP Northern headquarters and pick one up in person? Make a road trip of it.

Thanking Your Assemblymen
I am only putting this here because with all the notices about contacting your assemblymen and women, I didn't see anything about following up. I know that the Democratic majority pushed through all of the measures they wanted, but there were a lot of Assemblypeople who voted against them. Mine are Amy Handlin (not known for being particularly conservative) and Declan O'Scanlon. I called both and thanked them for voting against the anti-gun measures even though they passed in the Assembly, and told them I was happy that they were listening to their constituents and will be happy to vote for both again. I can tell you that the receptionists for both Handlin and O'Scanlon were surprised and happy to have received the call. They took my name and info. It makes me think that they don't get many like that. I imagine most are asking/demanding/screaming for them to vote a certain way. I don't know if it matters in the long run, but often you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. And we can be sure there are more retarded gun control bills coming our way in the future.

22lr conversion kits - worth it or not?
- 12 Ga or 20 Ga 1st Shotty?
20 gauge does 90% of the things people buy a 12 gauge for. It will break a clay or repel a home invader, and allow a faster followup shot to boot. If you are a serious trap shooter and have to worry about handicap distances, then a 12 gauge would help your score. Other than that, 12 is popular because you can get 12 gauge ammo everywhere (when you are not in our retarded state anyways).- 12 Ga or 20 Ga 1st Shotty?
Believe it or not, 12 gauge is cheaper. A Remington 1100 or 1187 will fit the bill well. Recoil is well absorbed by the gas system, and you can get home defense length barrels for them. I would not get a pump or break open in 12 gauge if you want your wife to enjoy shooting (since you said she is recoil sensitive). The one exception to the break open having more recoil is the Browning Cynergy. The weird stock design really does work wonders to reduce recoil. But they are pricey shotguns. If you go with a 20gauge, the recoil is only about 60% that of the 12 gauge, so you have more options. AutoLoaders in 20gauge are REALLY soft shooting.- norton antivirus is anti gun
So I have to ask, was he the cameraman or was it straight to divorce court?- Question on Lyman Manual
Ballistic coefficient Sectional density- 22lr conversion kits - worth it or not?
+1 on the Heggis flip. Can't beat a 3 lb trigger. As for cleaning, I will take a Buckmark over a Ruger any day. Ruger 22 pistols are a pain to clean because the disassembly is a pain (even with the trick).- Arsenal SGL26-61 7.62x39 ... Keep or Sell?
Sell it while it's hot. Use the proceeds and get yourself a new upper for your AR (maybe even in 7.62x39) and some ammo. You may have gotten a good price, but you are still bought on the upswing. There are a lot of us in New Jersey and elsewhere waiting to scoop up good shit when AWB fails in Congress and prices start dropping fast.- NJ2AS and Sweeney
lunker replied to NorthernYankee's topic in NJ2AS - New Jersey Second Amendment Society's Discussion ForumFrom Frank at NJ2AS... *** MEETING WITH SENATOR STEVE SWEENEY Your Legislative Committee Chairman Bob Barush and I had a meeting this afternoon with Senator Steve Sweeney and his staff. The meeting was very cordial. We had a chance to discuss each bill and explain our reasons for our opposition. I can say that unlike the Assembly, Senator Sweeney showed a sincere interest in our/your opinions. We are still providing some requested information that should help bolster our position on some of the bills, but I CAN report that you will NOT see the kind of DISRESPECT from the Senate that we experienced from the Assembly. We do not yet know which bills will make it to the Law & Public Safety Committee, but Senator Sweeney assure us that the NJ2AS *WILL* be involved in the process and that we will see any bills and their amendments before they move on. Obviously this is a HUGE improvement over the way we were previously treated in the Assembly. Bob and I will DEFINITELY keep you informed as we learn more about which bills will move forward, and any significant changes we become aware of. There was a general agreement that the EMPHASIS in the Senate will be on making a clear distinction between the law-abiding gun owner (who they do NOT see as the problem) and those areas that can be tightened up to prevent the criminals and criminally insane from using guns for violent purposes.- 22lr conversion kits - worth it or not?
That is the exact one I own, but lost to the wife. I should've bought an ugly gun if I wanted to keep it.- Reloading .223 Rem Primer check
I found pics of bad primer flow. The only high pressure indicator I can see from the pics are the firing pin strike indentations look deep. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ7ZAGfd9OnnU8bHV0Kwb7t1diq5Sr63oU33XLJcwvIrsdnUwa5- Reloading .223 Rem Primer check
The primer flow on them isn't that awful. I used to get worse with my 10mm loads.- 22lr conversion kits - worth it or not?
I prefer the pistols intended as 22lr. They may not have as much to offer from a "train with what you carry" perspective, but they are more fun to shoot, IMO. I love my Browning Buckmark. My wife likes it so much, she claims it's hers now.- Remington 700 trigger issue?
7 pounds on a bolt gun. Ouch.- Ring around my cylinder
It is a sign that you actually shoot it. I have been told that the Colt design leaves less of a drag line on the cylinder than S&W. Never owned a Colt revolver to confirm or deny it though.- Remington 700 trigger issue?
I just looked it up. It is the X-Mark pro. If you had one on yours, it would have a green rubber hang tag announcing it.- norton antivirus is anti gun
Since it's a new laptop, you probably already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed on your machine. It is free. Just turn it on. I have not had that problem with SE.- Remington 700 trigger issue?
It is a known issue. I have seen it happen firsthand. The new Remington triggers (X2?) don't do it though.- Crimping a 45 acp
- Crimping a 45 acp
Rey, I need my crimping die in 45ACP because I reload for revolver too. I find that I don't need a good crimp in semi-autos because they are a sealed chamber. In my revolver, I get unburnt powder if I don't use a good crimp. I think it is because gas escapes from the cylinder-forcing cone gap. For me, crimping is my 4th stage on my Dillon 550B, so I always do it. If I were loading for bulleye shooting, I would probably skip it. I don't think there is a down side to doing it except the possible extra time if you don't have a progressive press.- Since I look up to you guys as an "extended family" Can I ask girl advice?
Just remember: "the more you drink, the better I look". That was college. There are probably as many (or more) shy girls as there are shy girls. It's just a matter of finding a reason to talk with them and let them know you are a good guy.- Which standard cap 45ACP to get?
If it's a standard o-ring, I would be happy to have a gun that makes use of a part that is so easily obtainable (i.e. any hardware store). - 12 Ga or 20 Ga 1st Shotty?
