The only reason this is a "past business practice" is because the market will not put up with their stupidity at the moment. Wait for a shooting or imminent legislation and see how it is really a "dormant current business practice".

+1. I hope these guys go out of business in a hurry. Vultures.

Thanks for the responses all. As a father of a one year old, my brain has turned to mush by midnight so I probably could've been more clear. I simply have a preference for the robustness of fixed sights and fixed fsb. HE, that was helpful. The squish is what I was thinking, so I can make use of lower 1/3 cowitness. An absolute cowitness makes the sight picture very busy to be using full-time. DT, I will look at the MaTech and if I don't go with a fixed rear sight, that looks like a really good candidate. Is there enough value in a consistent manual of arms between the BCM A4 and this Colt Carbine that it is worth it to use the LMT or a chopped handle rear sight?

The new WASRs have a much better reputation for quality than those from a few years ago. I wouldn't hesitate, especially from Atlantic Firearms. They give their guns a good once over before selling them to you. Consider an Atlantic Firearms assembled gun. Check their website. They are good quality and the non-Russian ones are reasonably priced.

I am very used to using the standard carry handle A2 sights on my BCM A4 rifle. It is a pleasure to shoot and I only wish I could stretch the rifle's legs a bit more. My range up here in New Hampshire only goes to 300 yards. I am looking forward to visiting another nearby club with a 600 yard rifle range and trying my 75 grain Hornady HPBT handloads. With the recent price drop in ARs, I picked up a Colt 6920 from CDNN last week. It came with a fold-down Magul BUIS. I have an Aimpoint T1 on the rail and I would like a rear sight that is fixed and not flip. Considering that it is a carbine, am I better off going with an LMT A2 setup, or a Daniel Defense A1.5 (A1 sight adjustment with A2 apertures)? I have also been thinking about the LaRue same plane fixed rear sight. As for improving my shooting, am I better off getting a same plane sight and just learning the holdovers for different distances? I plan to use the irons as much as the red dot. As for cowitness, do most folks use different cheek welds, a higher one for irons and lower one for optics. Or is the cheek weld the same and you are always looking through two sets of sights? If that were the case I would think it might make sense to have a 6 o'clock sight picture for the irons and a combat sight picture for the red dot, so that the front sight does not obscure the target. Does anyone have any thought on this? I would rather learn first and only spend once (for a change). Thanks in advance.

How do you argue with a new Walther for under $300? 40S&W (mags are good to go) http://www.cdnnsports.com/walther-ppx-m1-40s-w.html#.VEr8bfnF-So 9mm (mags ar 16 round, will need pinning) http://www.cdnnsports.com/walther-ppx-m1-9mm.html#.VEr89vnF-So

It's funny, I live in Exeter New Hampshire now, home of Sig and Sig Academy. People up here take such pride in it being a New Hampshire company, and just about everyone I meet at my local ranges has at least one Sig. I shoot my Glock and get asked when I will get a Sig, and people are annoyed when I tell them I am not saving to buy one. I mollify them by saying that steel Sigs are not very lefty friendly, which is difficult to deny. They certainly do not want to hear anything about documented quality control problems. Sig koolaid is nearly as strong as Glock, although far weaker than Kimber's.

So what is the cheapest way to ship 150 pounds of ammo? I sold all my ammo in a caliber I don't shoot any more, and need to ship cross country to the buyer. Remember ORM-D cartons top out at 66 pounds, so I am talking three 50 pound boxes.

It works great and just pops the top if you hit a piece of berdan primed brass. It's better than having to replace the pin in your sizing die.

Citadel makes one of the best bargain 1911's. $329 shipped to your FFL. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/89750/Citadel+CIT9MMFSP+1911+Full+Size+9%2B1+9mm+5%22?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=19119MM2Oct2014

Nice workaround. I hope the prices don't skyrocket now that it's privately owned. http://www.guns.com/2014/09/28/russia-sells-gun-factory-to-businessman-bypasses-sanctions/

Right. I am quickly forgetting New Jersey stupid laws.

It begs the question of whether the Henry 22 lever guns are legal since they do advertise +15 capacity for 22Long and 22Short, even though it only holds 12 rounds of 22LongRifle. http://www.henryrifles.com/rifles/lever-action-22-youth-rifle/ Or did I miss something in an earlier thread?

Vlad's post made me think... God, I am so glad I don't have to put up with NJ gun laws any more. New Hampshire is an improvement in just about every way (although I haven't been through a New England winter yet). Of course I have new considerations. I live and work near the Mass border. I often take a Mass highway (495) to work. Getting pulled over in Massachusetts with even a spent shell casing in your car, and you are looking at jail time unless you have a Mass firearms license. I may get a non-resident one as a just-in-case. It requires a face to face interview with the police. More fun facts: Massachusetts is the one state in the country whose DWI jail sentence is so severe, that getting one there turns you into a "prohibited Person" and no longer eligible to own firearms.

Sorry, dupe info.

+1. My Marlin 1895GBL (big loop) is a great, fun to shoot rifle.

Nice AKs are pricey these days. You don't want to know how much my milled MAK90 cost. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c104/chrislunker/C5A50F20-16E1-43C7-A493-D060BD595571_zps0z3hfc2s.jpg

Great company. Nice folks.

Got it. I misunderstood your point. Thanks for clarifying.

N-PAP and O-PAP are nice rifles. Just know that they don't take standard AK furniture. I think it is the thicker steel used than a normal stamped AK.

There are enough vendors here that feel confident selling AK pattern rifles. Their butts are on the line as well. I have seen the State Police inspectors in Shore Shot when they have WASRs and Saigas hanging on the wall. I understand being conservative with respect to NJ gun laws, but do you think your stance is extreme?

The bulgarian stamped rifles are fine (except in 223, where there are known feeding issues). It is the quality of the conversion that I am talking about, not the base rifle.

Interarms has a poor reputation in the AK world. There are Saigas out there converted by Atlantic Arms. They are excellent.

Joe, thanks for the offer. My family moved up to New Hampshire a few months back for my work, so my visits to New Jersey are pretty infrequent. On the upside, I did finger a VP9 just last night at a great local store in Windham (2nd Amendment Arms). I love the ergos. The gun strongly resembles the Walther. And its trigger does not quite feel as light (I had the good fortune to be able to hold the two guns side-by-side). It looks like one will be in my near future. Now I just have to decide what to do with my new Gen 4 Glock 34.

It's funny, I moved to New Hampshire and live in Exeter, and up here everyone drinks the Sig koolaid. Sigs never worked for me as a lefty. Their facilities are beautiful though. For some reason ( some have speculated financial) they canceled all their Fall matches at Sig Academy. I was looking forward to shooting IDPA there.
