  1. Hell's angles = 66 degrees?
  2. You frequently see people being charged with oversize magazines as add-on charges to other gun crimes. So you'll hear about someone being arrested with an automatic rifle, two other illegal guns, and oversize magazines. It usually adds to other charges.
  3. Bolt action. Doesn't use the mag well....Bohica MK-III
  4. It is fine. In fact, since the "gun" part of an AR is the lower receiver, you can do anything you want with the upper receiver. I have an AR that has a 223 top and a 50 BMG top...
  5. (It's not often you hear a complete no-holds barred "ha ha the president is black" joke, but I guess that's a pretty good one.) Look up JoAnne on Wikipedia, and it sort of spoils you on Wikipedia. It's mostly a very radical (not left or right, just plain radical) justification of her actions and a very complicated set of possibly explanations of why she may not be guilty. I am a very open-minded guy, but that article actually got me pretty pissed off. The US ought to offer Cuba a few million hard US dollars in exchange for her, and we'd probably get her back. It would be nice to get her in prison before she dies...she's getting past the average lifespan for a woman in Cuba....
  6. Just cancelled my flight back from London tomorrow; I'll fly back Saturday instead. 18 hours extra in the London Hilton paid for by someone else is significantly better than 18 hours of waiting in a plane in some random airport.
  7. reading the benchrest forums, magazines, etc, you can end up with a FPS change of as much as 75fps with a primer change. Consistency within the batch may not change, but your zero might move quite a bt.
  8. You probably shouldn't try to buy a stripped lower in PA. The PA AG issued a ruling a year or so ago indicating that they felt stripped lowers were to be considered handguns, and so you need to do an FFL transfer to buy one legally in PA.
  9. Hotel service is pretty darn good.... But at nearly $30 a day, it should be...
  10. He is moving from his parent's home to a new place. I think the DL is at the new place, and he submitting for a new FID for his new address. I am wondering, specifically, if there is a specific component to the NJ Law which requires the addresses to be matching. Thanks!
  11. I want to sell a long gun FTF to another NJ resident who has a FID and DL. The only problem is that the addreses on his FID and DL do not match. Am I violating any law by selling him this NJ-compliant long gun? :?: TIA!
  12. Yes, and the lead all over the food just makes it taste that much better!
  13. That's a pretty radical response. I fly all the time, and have had 0 (ZERO, aka NADDA) bad experiences with security. Perhaps 1 out of 100 flights they search a carryon, always very carefully, quickly, respectfully. A few weeks ago they swabbed the outside of my carryon, but it tooked an extra minute, at most. I flew today internationally covered with smokeless powder, without incident, although I didn't see any TSA swabbing happening. In fact, i almost never see anyone being hassled in any way. Sometimes the security line is long and slow, but people get through, and I don't see anyone hassling anyone else. I know that we see TSA debacles in the news every few weeks, but considering how many millions of people go through security every week, it's probably an unbelievably small percentage.
  14. Well, spent the morning shooting at the range, and the afternoon loading some rounds and cleaning my guns, and at 9pm I will be flying to London. I'll let you know what happens.....
  15. Actually, the polish sort of gunks up the media. I don't use polish until the media is nearly dead, and my brass is super shiny.... Recently got some block/solid polish, which I flake off with a knife. Doesn't gunk up the media, but makes the brass even shinier....
  16. Do they always charge the $18? I don't think last time I applied they required that....
  17. I seem to recall someone saying they had gone up, but can't find the reference, and the STS-033 still reads $2.
  18. I've seen piles of them in most of the NJ gun shops I visit. The piles are mostly gone, so they have probably sold a lot of them. My concern is that a book like this is nearly instantly out of date, before it hits the shelves. For example, One Gun a Month is not covered in Nappen's new book. I'd be worried about using the book as any kind of important reference source.... ...on the other hand, I don't have a suggestion for a better source. It would be great if Nappen maintained a website with updates and errata.
  19. This is the worst possible double-commute you can do. At 7am the Tap is done. At 7am all the roads around NYC are done....
  20. So Cabela's will ship handgun ammo to NJ? I thought we had a discussion awhile ago that they wouldn't?
  21. Gun For Hire has NRA certified RSO courses regularly. I wanted to sign up for the last one but weekends get away from me...
  22. We stupidly drove down to Monmouth County RPC instead of going up to Cherry Ridge today, and the range wasn't plowed out yet, so there was no way to get there. Feeling like shooting, we decided to try out BA. It was only around 14 minutes away. I have to say they were the most friendly gunshop I've ever visited. There were 3 employees when we started, and they were all exceptionally friendly, showed us the range, gave us 0 hassle, etc. I felt completely comfortable and welcomed. I hate indoor ranges, and although i shoot at least 2x a week, almost never indoors. But, for an indoors range, this was OK. There is a lot of space behind the firing line, which made it feel less constrained than some places (like Bullet Hole, for example). No RO hassle at all. When we showed up we were the only shooters, but the line was full when we left. I'm not sure how far you are supposed to stick your muzzle forward, but the women in the port to my left was so far forward that her brass was hitting me in the face, arms, etc. She must have been too far forward. But, that was near the end of our hour. So, the range was quite nice for an indoors range. The shop itself doesn't have much stock. Fewer long guns and pistols than any of the NJ shops I visit. And, almost no ammo. A few boxes of most calibers, but only a few boxes of one brand or another. Not very impressive. So, I don't think I'd buy a gun there, but when forced to shoot indoors it was OK, and they get big props from me for being the most friendly gun shop I've visited in NJ (possibly tied with Tips). -Dave
  23. This would be a good opportunity for the government to imprison a couple thousand gun nuts, if they wanted. And how is this firm still in business? "Oops, sorry, we sold thousands of people something which, if they are caught, will cause each of them to spend 5 years in prison. Sorry about that." Wow. This isn't some stupid NJ rule, this is the NFA, which seems to be well-understood....
  24. Or don't put anything on the end of the barrel at all.
  25. A day off from work, without NICS, is not really like having a true day off!
