Hello, Merry Christmas and welcome!

^^This^^ ^^And this^^

Anyone ever order from these guys? http://shop.customgunrails.com I like the flag one.

Wow! Good stuff.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Quiet here, too, first Christmas in 22 years without all my kids. My daughter is spending the holidays in week three of USAF basic training. .

Was there yesterday, and stock was definitely low. We were there as part of my son's Xmas present, so more than just there for gun stuff. Though he did pick up a grip for his AR and got a great deal on a Sightmark holo sight. Floor model, 50% off.

Okay, so this isn't a political thread, but... Now that sensitivity towards guns has skyrocketed, I don't feel comfortable practicing in the backyard (or the front yard!) anymore, since the neighbors (all pretty much the standard NJ liberals) can see in. Thoughts? Opinions?

Just gifted two memberships to the Gun Owners of America and made mine a lifetime membership. Also just got an upper to complete my second black rifle.

Larry Correia writes some fun, exciting novels. The Monster Hunter, Grimnoir and Dead Six series are fast paced and witty. He also was a firearms instructor and can write some excellent non-fiction and opinion pieces. Here's his take on the anti-gun frenzy currently going on: http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/an-opinion-on-gun-control/ One of the best parts: " The single best way to respond to a mass shooter is with an immediate, violent response. The vast majority of the time, as soon as a mass shooter meets serious resistance, it bursts their fantasy world bubble. Then they kill themselves or surrender. This has happened over and over again."

Purty... VZ Operator IIs?

Thanks everyone for your help. There's now a Sig 1911-22 waiting for me at my FFL. Merry Christmas!

What voyager9 said. I keep several camping meals/MREs for camping as well as disaster prep. Mostly we make do with a large overstock of canned goods and otherwise long term foods we use anyway. Just rotate the stock.

The 2nd Amendment Foundation is another good one. Saf.org. Doubling my annual contri this year.

Welcome to the place!

Excellent article, and I admire the writer fro restraining from profanity. I'm having a *#*$%)((* hard time doing that. I am sharing that article elsewhere. Excellent find Bob!

So... this money goes to cleanup Barnegat Bay. Why not Trenton? Or Camden? Or the Turnpike? And, weren't plastic bags "the answer" to killing trees for paper bags? ARRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!

LOL! That was my wife's first thought!

The 1:12 upper would be a great compromise solution. However, on a whim, I made what I thought was a way too-low bid on a Tactical Solutions AR-22 upper... and won. So I am going the dedicated .22lr route this time. I've heard a lot of good things about this upper and it is apparently as "mil-spec" as a .22lr upper can be so if I want to tart it up I can. Good luck on your quest Sharrie*1! I'll try to get a range report on this combo once I actually get to the range with it!

Welcome Mike! This is a great forum filled with knowledgeable people. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Bob, That's pretty nice. But a carbon fiber hand guard can't be cheap. Chiappa makes a.22lr poly upper, but the few reviews I've seen are lukewarm.

The timing on this other thread works out well for me, but I didn't want to hijack it so I started this one. I just picked up a New Frontier complete lower from PK90 (thanks Paul!) and am still waffling over an upper to install. My goal for this AR is very low cost plinking. It will likely see a lot of time with .22lr courtesy of a Brownell's conversion kit I've had for a year but never used. So I'm looking for a low cost complete upper (and am not against building one either). I also am still considering a dedicated .22lr upper instead, since opinions on the accuracy and reliability of .22lr conversion kits seem to be all over the map. A dedicated, complete .22lr AR like the S&W 15-22 is at this time off the table. Carbine or mid-length. Additional info. I already have a very nice, accurate 5.56 AR (LMT) and am in line for one of the 3rd run of the NJGF custom lowers. That one will eventually turn into a high(er) end custom build, but would not be complete for a year or so after the lower arrives, and I've not decided on the caliber. Therefore I turn to the collective wisdom and sage advice of the NJGunforum community and ask that you weigh in from the perspective of "what would you do?" Thank you.

Good to read the positive reviews, Paul at A&A has one waiting for me. Still haven't decided on the upper.

Can't speak for other things Botach sells, but I received my order, the kit the OP posted above, yesterday. I ordered it on Dec 7th. Thanks to deni for posting it!
