Here it is folks, as legitimate as i can prove it to be. http://dailycaller.com/2013/01/24/feinstein-calls-for-banning-more-than-150-firearms-during-dramatic-press-conference/

Yup. Nor do I or the rest of the American public. Along with those Federal Health Insurance exchanges that were supposed to be setup by now.

This came out this morning: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/01/nj_voters_favor_stricter_gun_c.html#incart_m-rpt-1 We'll see if Christie caves. Keep writing folks. At the VERY least, let's not end up like NY.

PCP, "Bath Salts", Ketamine, Xylazine, etc....all bad news. Think the worst by far is PCP. Only had to deal with one or two people in my whole security career that were on PCP.

Nothing new. Good to post again though. If we can reach new people with this everyday, that's good. I've joined the NRA, NJ2AS, and have been writing my local legislators non-stop.

Yes, correct. Which would lead me to vomit all over passengers, not just myself. LOL Irony behind it is...I offshore fish. Never get sick lol

Here comes the war....

I am driving along with whatever of my friends wants to come along. I'd love to take a bus but get car sick (serious). Sucks lol

Emailed my reps. Lets see what happens.

I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. That's my answer.

It certainly is...well...different lol. I like it better on this platform though:

See my post. No chance of reloadability. According to my brother at least...who reloads extensively. The internals are HK btw. The bolt and carrier have "HK" on them. EDIT: Just saw Rob's post. Guess they can be reloaded. Just a matter of how long the brass lasts and do you want to take the risk.

I wouldn't stand for that at all. Whatever you do, DO NOT LET IT GO TO COSIGNMENT WITH HIM. He's screwing you over. 1) Tell him if he won't transfer the firearm you request to have it sent back to the seller. 2) No consignment. Tell him if he wants to buy it he can buy it for a ridiculously inflated price. You want cash or it goes to #1. 3) What junkmanted said. Have it sent to a qualified FFL who is also a gunsmith in NJ to do the alterations Gotta play hardball in a situation like this. Chances are the guy will eventually give in.

Davis Sport Shop, NY

Very familiar with Tip's. Great store. They will have NO shortage of clientele. I can 1000% tell you that. I also happen to have a house 15 min from the range. The store is extremely well known and highly regarded in the area. Really excited for this place to open up.

Oh absolutely. Geisele makes a fine piece of metal now too. I think a lot of the prop systems are designed on the premise that some uppers won't fit the anti rotation tabs. I know it's been a problem with VLTOR Uppers. That would be a point on the board for prop nut systems that use nut vs. tabs

Yup. All "incident" or probably cause based. Now it's common practice during a NICS check thanks to Obama.

Yup. I have a two piece YHM with a flip up front sight on my current M4 carbine gas system build. That might be for sale soon.

I am beside myself with this as well as the government agency one. People don't realize the massive repercussions from this alone. With the HIPAA bypass, what if you're on a medication they deem to be risky for anything at all possibly even touching involving firearm operation. Let's say you come down with a nasty sinus infection. Doctor puts you on Levaquin. Levaquin has the little known side effect of causing mild temporary depression. Now all of a sudden the Federal Government has access to information that you are on a medicine thats linked to depression! Well sir, NICS check comes back denied. Lovely right? I am not saying it WILL go to this extreme but COULD. The federal agency one REALLY gets me as well. IRS...Federal Agency. Maybe you got audited in 2010. "Well look at this. IRS pulls up that Mr. John Doe was audited. This could show that he has angst and ill views agains the government. Lets deny his NICS check." or "Mr. John Doe filed for bankruptcy 2 years ago. This could mean he's depressed." You get the picture.... The OLD principles for denial were: Mental Health Record Felony Conviction Misdemeanor in a DV related charge. Now god only knows. He basically just gave the Federal Gov't the right to deny deny and deny some more.

I'd honestly just grab something. I like BCM stuff as well. Don't spend an arm and a leg on anything since you know you'll be upgrading in the future.

Unless you're planning on doing it yourself, the metal number only really affects the gunsmith. ACDO for example, charges $40 base and an upcharge of $55 for Troy brakes because they're 4140 Steel which is SUPER hard. You supposedly need to go very slow with a cobalt bit. Spike's might be the same, I'm not sure. You're base barrel length is already 16" so there is not a concern about being under 16" TOA barrel length. I really like KAC. I wish they still made the RAS rail for the M1A. I hate that proprietary tool/nut crap though. I just don't get it. Once you watch this video of the Centurion Rail, you'll be a believer just like me: Why is it that a company with a user installed, non prop tool/nut rail, do that, be lighter, and cheaper than the ones that have the prop nut/tool?

Looks like now I am definitely going.

To my understanding the gun must be shipped to a licensed gunsmith who prepares the COMPLETE firearm to be compliant BEFORE the transfer. This is just a lower and not a complete firearm. Hence, no problemo. I did the same thing 2 years ago. My LMT lower came with a collapsible buttstock. I asked the guy who was selling it to just leave the buttstock separate of the lower in the box. Problem solved. Then when I got it I pinned it myself.

Hate to say it but the way this goes nationally will more than likely dictate how it goes for us. Christie is playing possible re-election and a possible presidential run. He has it now. A presidential run for him is all but certain due to his recent and continued popularity as well as the way he handled Sandy. That's why he's taking this issue RIGHT down the middle. Whether he goes left or right will be determined by how well we fight the federal laws. If we can manage to fend off a federal AWB, he'll more than likely leave us alone on the AWB issues. Magazines, well...we lose that federally we lose it in the state. This isn't Texas or Wyoming. Sucks, we fight on two fronts where as states like Texas, Wymoning fight on one...their state is and will always be behind them.

BCM or LMT for the BCG. My preference is to go with a complete BCG vs a separate Bolt and Carrier. That's just me. I know guys will say different things. I don't like to mix and match stuff like that. I'll mix a BCG with a different upper, but no way am I mixing a different bolt and bolt carrier. Gas block and handguards are related in terms of application. Personally, I'd go with a low-pro block. Whether you decide to go with a handguard over it, or maybe one that runs up to it, it leaves you with the option of switching your handguard config around. Besides, you're assembling the gun from scratch so it's not like you already have a fixed FSB. Muzzle device...that's up to you. I like Troy Brakes. Claymore looks pretty cool. Remember, no flash suppressors in NJ. The way to determine if its a flash suppressor is: 1) Does it say "flash suppressor" on the manufacturer's specs (lol)? 2) Is the muzzle opening at the end of the susppressor significantly larger than the brake? Some companies market brakes as "compensators with flash suppressing ability". Most of these brakes still flash like a drunk girl at Mardi Gras. The only way you can get a muzzle device to suppress flash to a level that would be considered acceptable for "tactical/concealment" purposes is to make the muzzle opening singnifantly larger than the bullet diameter. A lot of companies will try, but none are really head and shoulders better than the other. Sights, can't go wrong with the Magpul BUIS. You're looking at $90 or so for a pair vs. $120+ for a pair of metal BUIS. I am a big fan of FF rails, which you'll really need to go with since it's a scratch build. Daniel Defense, LaRue, Centurion, Troy, Midwest Industries, etc. Seems like the top tier rails are the DD, LaRue, and Centurion. Troy makes another good product but aren't known for being the lightest. I would go with and actually just bought a 12" Centurion C4 rail. It uses your standard mil spec barrel nut. The DD and LaRue both use proprietary nuts. Also, the LaRue is a non-continuous rail. That means the rail doesn't run uninterrupted from your charging handle to barrel. Oh and the gas tube, just grab a new one from BCM or whatever retailer has them now.
