Looks like Sunday for me. Hopefully there will be some stuff left for the Black Rifle builds. Looking for 2 stocks and 2 MIAD grips and the lowers will be done. Also getting some ideas for the upper configurations.

I had it done about 5 years ago. Went from vision in the 2200 range to 20/40 which I was not happy with. They did a revision about 30 days later (lifted the corneal flap and re-zapped) and I ended up with 20/15 vision. Now it's 20/20 5 years later. I love it. Need reading glasses now. They say if you're over 40 and have it done, you usually need reading glasses afterwards as was my case. I am 47, so I was probably due anyway. As other posters have said, there can be side-effects. Make sure you get at least 2 opinions that you are a good candidate. Light color eyes and thin corneas can have the problems. I'm actually getting checked by me Eye Doc today. I have had no problems. Do your research and ask questions. PS Just think of all the cool sunglasses you can buy. But don't use that as your justification. I used Daniel Goldberg, M. D. in Little Silver. He's one of the best in NJ. Good Luck.

I've got a Mk III and use snap caps for dry firing. As an instructor, I would reccomend against putting anything in the chamber that resembles brass, marked or not. Almost any gunshop will have snap caps, or they can be ordered online. Got mine from Cheyenne Mountain. These safety items are made in a red color for centerfire calibers. I've seen blue and silver for .22's. They are made in these colors for a reason, so that would never be mistaken for a live cartridge. $10.00 - $15.00 is worth the safety factor. Safe shooting guys

He had a few used shotguns, a nice S & W 459, model 14, 422. Also some old military rifles, didn't really look at them. Ammo : 9mm 40 and some 45 were 18 - 21 dollars. I did not see more that 2 boxes of each on the shelf. I've been to his store many many times in the old days. All I have to say is that he was very nice and personable.

I was there Wednesday. Same FFL that owned the former Jackson Sporting Goods store. (Rick Beers) Retired for a while and decided to go back into business again. He said he would be dealing mostly in trade-ins and used guns. Lots of knives and bayonets. Some ammo at competetive prices. Store is about 10 feet x 12 feet.

I'm not really sure what you can do about the deep pitting, but I'd look into finding a high quality refinisher to see what they can do about filling it. You probably won't find anyone who does that kind of work around here. I've read articles about filling pitting with a weld, grind, polish, and re-blue. The mag tube may be too thin for that but it can easily replaced. After all, it is a Pre-64. The stocks on those were all usually pretty nice American Walnut. Get a stock refinishing kit from Brownells or Midway and you can do a beautiful oil finish on that walnut. You can also get new walnut stocks from Boyd's unfinished. I have a 94 that is newer with the birch stocks. I may go the Boyd's route for a project this fall/winter. Like Tim said, if it's a family heirloom, you might want to look into these guys. The third one does work on pitted barrels and receivers. http://www.turnbullrestoration.com/store.asp?pid=20022&catid=19872 http://www.winchesterrestoration.com/ http://www.windriverrifle.com/home.html

Didn't you hear, NJ has the highest rate of Drive-By Bayonetings.

A NJ FFL can legally take possession of the non-compliant rifle. He can not legally transfer it to you as a NJ resident in its current configuration. He will have to do the work or send it out to make it NJ legal before you take possession. I often see non-compliant rifles at gun shops in NJ. They usually have a little tag or sign saying for sale to PA residents only. A little shop here in Jackson used to have 4 or 5 M1 Carbines on the rack. Alas, not for us pee ons in NJ.

Oh Man ! I've seen one of those before. I hope you like your fingers. Just don't blow off the important one

This can get addicting ! My NJ Legal version...

I put together this machine. Pretty cool website

That's covered also. The microstamp goes on the firing pin bushing in the frame. When fired, the cartridge case slams back against it and rebounds back.

I had heard some talk about the micro-stamp being placed on the breech face, bolt, etc, so that the imprint goes on the cartridge case instead of the primer. If it passes the bill states that it would become effective when the technology becomes available and NJ dealers would only be able to sell firearms with the new feature. This whole idea is just ridiculous. Nightmare scenario: Bryco, Jennings, and Raven Arms make a comeback with microstamping. Those are all we can buy in NJ. I think I just hurled. P.S. No offense to readers who may own the above mentioned pistols. I have a Davis Derringer .32ACP in the safe. That's what happens when you have (1) about to expire pistol permit left and $69.99 in your pocket.

I've purchased from Ron in the past. Great Guy. Large inventory for a home-based FFL. Sells a lot on Guns America and Gunbroker.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't his Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini just get arrested in that corruption scandal ? Maybe they will connect him to the crimes as well and he'll just go away. We can only hope.

Kerosene or gasoline remove cosmo very well. Just try not to blow the place up. Outside in a coffee can or a size that fits the parts. Did it for an SKS that I bought years ago.

Double check Appalachian Promotions. The Philly Armory Show is cancelled until further notice. I went to the last one they had. Not too bad. I'll be at the Bristol, PA show to see what I can pick up for my Black Rifle builds. Small show but only 35-40 minutes from me. Aug 8-9 I think.

" Come down to the coast, we'll have a few laughs..."

Actually, I did know. I checked out that barrel before. I must say that your rifle is the nicest looking I've seen. I don't really like the carbine handguards with what looks like a mile of barrel coming out of it. Just researched and found that the Bushmaster Dissipator is not even a mid-length gas system. It's got a carbine length gas system and block under the full length hand guard and the front sight is just a sight, not a gas block. Go figure. Really like the YHM stuff as well. Do you have the end cap on the free float tube ?

Very nice. I had wanted to do a mid-length gas system.

mjsemtex, Nice rifle ! I'm doing my first build and would like to know what you've got there. What type of barrel, comp,free float tube, gas block, and sights ?

Hey BadBul, Remington 870 Express 7-shot. Got mine for $ 349.00 new. There are two ATK clamps holding a Streamlight Nightfighter LED 120 Lumen flashlight to the mag tube. Neoprene shell holder on stock. Will upgrade to a side saddle. Upgraded extractor and carrier dog spring to Remington 870 Police parts. Slick action, love it. You can't beat it for the price. Talk to Vinny at Huting World or Paul at Arms-n-Ammo, I'm sure they could get you one. http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model_870/model_870_express_synthetic_7-round.asp

Here is a link for the NJ Law's on Hollowpoints. http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/fire_hollow.html They are perfectlr legal to own in NJ. They become illegal when used in the commission of a crime. Below is a link to a NJ Legislative statement that clarifies the issue. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2006/Bills/A3500/3075_I1.HTM Please keep in mind that when using HP's for self defense in the home, you need to pick the brand and style appropriately. Prosecutors can have a field day with you if you have chosen something like a Black Talon or something designed to shred a man into a bloody puree". Stick to something like Federal Personal Defense Rounds. Some of the ammo is now jacketed over the hollow-point with a scored front profile. This allows penetration through heavy clothing and then expands when hitting more dense tissue. Just NJ we're dealing with here.

A good quality tactical flashlight goes with me in the car all the time. Clipped on my belt out of the car. 120 lumens and up will cause temporary blindness, giving you the chance for "Fight" against the bad guy, or a head start on "Flight". If you go with the baseball bat, keep a ball and glove in the car as well. It may help with your defense case, or when passing a local park with a game going on.
