I have used them multiple times in the past few months. No problems at all.

So rhino_chaser, making it 17 posts out of 17 posts shilling for them?

My 2500 rounds showed up last night. So 8 days, which isn't bad...

NJ Firearms Guild in Rahway has about a dozen different Kimber 1911's right now....

China does not have good GDP per capita. They are rank 100th. US ranks 6th, Brazil ranks 77th.

rhino_chaser, do you work at Shore Shot? I just noticed that all 13 of your posts have been positive reviews of the Shore Shot...

I agree that it's a joke, but Brazil is actually the world's 10th largest economy, and is actually considered a highly-developed "first world" country.... Also, their "external world debt per capita" is approximately 1/40th of the US's, so their economy is not so bad. Their debt is around 12% of their GDP, where as the US's external debt is approximately 95% of GDP. The US's economy wishes it could be like Brazil's....

So, what does that mean? The problem is, as we all know, none of these words come with definitions. I am not sure if the HKSL8-6 stock "telescopes." It can change length, with a tool. The stock sort of "telescopes" when it collapses, if "telescope" means that one part slides into another as like the tubes of a telescope. Or maybe the two things that move in and out of the stock don't really work like a "telescope?" Paul, how can a stock change lengths without "telescoping?" At least we all probably roughly understand what "folding" means....

Is there any kind of documentation about this, or are we just assuming that this is what is required? I ask because my HK SL8-6 rifle has a stock which can be lengthened up to 1" by removing two large hex head bolts (and inserting filler pieces to make it look nice). The rifle was purchased at Bullet Hole, and the same rifle has been seen at most of the other legitimate dealers I've visited in NJ, all with the same hex bolts. So, with an allen key, and a few minutes, you can change the length of the stock 1". I think this rifle is legal, but who knows? -Melg

Just bought 5 bricks. 5 * 525 = 2650 rounds. If the newspaper were to be informed, they would call this "an arsenal"

Mikeyboyeee, I think you have lost your license to discuss constitutional issues. The 18th Amendment to the Constitution made intoxicating liquors prohibited in the United States, starting in 1919. It was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933. So, that's a nice important example of a stupid addition to the Constitution which was later removed.

They do if you have a poor insurance agent. A good insurance agent who has a relationship with a carrier can work around this. There are agents who specialize in these fields, and can often get better rates than "low risk" policies. My policy which allows professional auto racing and rallying cost me less than standard policies because my agent specializes in that field.

Smart attorney. Nothing the guy would say would help his case.

http://www.whiteoakarmament.com/complete_uppers.htm You don't want a compensator if you ever might compete, they're not allowed.

Box Of Truth has a great piece of shooting locks here: http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot5.htm -Melgamatic

I never heard this before. I use CCI, Winchester, Federal, Wolf and some other primers, no problem at all. I did move to doing the primers by hand with an RCBS Universal Priming Tool because I liked the feel and the control, but I used all those brands in my press. Are they a different size, hardness, what?

Of course not. It might be interesting to shoot "Mythbusters Style", with the gun in a vise, a string around the trigger, and you 30 feet away behind some ballistic plexiglass...

I have a cheapo, mostly plastic 10/22 which I bought a few months ago for $190 or so. The only changes I have made are to add a "Tech Sights" military style iron sight, and replace the magazine release lever. No changes to the barrel, trigger, action, etc. I can put 40 shots into a 1" circle at 50 yards without trying too hard. This is the most fun rifle I have, and I have a lot of fun and cool rifles. I was originally going to modify it into a "super 10/22" but it's so fun to shoot this cheapo, light but super-accurate gun that I can't bring myself to modify it. I'll probably buy another one to make into my project 10/22. I was a disbeliever, but now I've seen the light. An inexpensive 10/22 is unbelievable fun. -Melg

Yes, actually most of this stuff isn't permitted in "service rifle." I'm actually aiming towards "match" which has much more open equipment rules. Thanks.

I hope to enter some NRA high-power service rifle matches, but find that compensators (the "C" in my 6700C) are not permitted (and I also know that the guys shooting next to me prone are unhappy about my compensator). At the same time, I want to go to a better sight than the A2 front sight. I'd like a 7.7 twist barrel, 24". Should I just go with a new upper to have that flexibility, or should I have a new barrel installed? I'm thinking new upper, and then I can get a nice front sight like this: http://www.sinclairintl.com/product/6548/Front-Sights-2 on the barrel. Thanks.

I may be mistaken, but shotshell reloading does not seem to be a big win on cost these days. Shotshell prices haven't gone up much, but the reloading components have. Or has that changed recently? I do reload everything else, mostly for performance, consistency and control rather than cost....

Woodbridge has to walk you down with ammo. All the way from the front of the 2nd floor, to the back where the stairs are, all the way up front again to the registers. I bought a few cases of shotgun shells one time and the poor guy had to take two trips...

Just go the email notice at 8:13am. Federal 9mm 115gr FMG $269 for 1000 rounds!

The "special" cond units from CMP cost $995, which is what you can get one for from Tony Giacobbe in Rahway (they're $1100, but he always offers a $100 rebate, this month because of his birthday). You can look over a whole bunch and pick the one you want. All rebuilt using his GI components, etc. I'd certainly look over his rifles before waiting 2-6 months for the CMP...
