A two stage trigger often has a heavier pull than a single stage. It is sort of like staging a pistol trigger. You pull back with maybe 3 lbs of force, then the final break is only two pounds more. It is common on military rifles and precision rifles. I prefer a crisp single stage.

Thanks for the heads up.

You shouldn't, unless you want a visit from some BATF folks. They don't care if you make a fully automatic rifle on purpose or by accident.

You are welcome to try my Colt with it. I shoot at Central Jersey.

From everything I read, Geissele triggers are the top of the line for action shooting (I assume you are not looking to shoot from a bench). Here is a link.to the differences between them. I think the SSA-E is probably close to what you want. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_12/516756_Geissele_Trigger_Models__Summary.html I went with the ALG (made by Geissele's wife, no joke) Combat. It has the milspec pull weight ~5lbs, but is smooth and extra crisp, and 1/3 the cost as a bonus. http://www.algdefense.com/

I have two 20gauge side-by-sides as my bird hunting guns (lighter frame and less recoil than 12), and they are great. Just remember that 20gauge ammo is usually pricier than equivalent 12 gauge.

WWB is loaded long, way over SAAMI specs. It turns my rock solid reliable FNP45 into a single shot. Mags bind up. Feeding is problematic. I avoid it when possible.

The Sig Mosquito is notorious for being a jam-o-matic. Check out the Sig Forums. There are a few threads on it. Maybe a sticky too.

I just sold my Beretta Nano to a member here. It is small and slim, and is a great shooter. It has a revolver-like trigger (lighter though), which I liked. Some small semi autos had really light triggers with no safety (like the PPS). That scared me a bit.

Unlike the rest of the M&P line, it is not lefty friendly. It has a right side only safety. I'd be happier with none at all.

It gets worse. FedEx and USP require Priority Overnight. If you are shipping to Georgia, count on $50. Get A FedEx personal account. It doesn't cost anything and will save you 10% on shipping. Doing it through an FFL will probably work out to the same. A $35 transfer plus $10-15 to ship it US Post Office (only an FFL can ship a handgun through US Mail). It generally works out better to use an FFL when you are shipping west of the Mississippi.

That's an interesting question. It seems a private seller would never be able to sell a gun as new. That might be true for a private sale p2p form, but if I were to list it in the classifieds it would be up as New In Box".

Nice shooting! Iron sights are the way to go. Get good with them and optics will make you feel like you're cheating.

Www.aimsurplus has good deals on AR uppers. They go in and out of stock quiclky, so sign up for e-mail alerts to let you know when they come in. My Spikes 14.5" mid-length upper came with a comp. Unfortunately it also came with a bayo lug. I never even went home with it after picking the upper up from a member here. Drove right to a friend's house and Dremeled that lug right off.

The Saiga 223 (or any Saiga) eats steel cased ammo all day long. The steel cased 223 is cheap (a lot cheaper than brass cased) and close in price to 5.45x39 surplus.

Glad to hear the good serice from them. I recently got a 14.5" mid-length upper from a member here (who got his from Aim). Thankfully no problems so far.

it's funny to think that people win olympic gold medals in sports drunk americans play at backyard barbeques ping pong and badminton.I hope that whiffle ball gets added as an olympic sport too.

I feeli like most folks really like the CZ pistols. I love my 85 Combat.

I just applied for my change of address and my wife applied for her first NJ FID. I have a feeling she is going to be making me transfer my Browning BuckMark UDX over to her with her first permit.

It seems like a good deal on Mausers. Wideners is an excellent company to deal with. I get reloading stuff from them. http://www.wideners.com/itemview.cfm?dir=700|701|1381

When you shoot exotic calibers (and outside Eastern Bloc countries, 5.45x39 is exotic), you should always have an eye out for good deals. And swoop down on them and buy in bulk.

Any lead bullet can cause fouling. There is an art to matching lead hardness, lube, and velocity that will cause less leading.

Take a look at the Country Shed website. They have a good range of rare magazines.
