Whats the fastest you have ever gone?
195 mph indicated on a slightly worked 2004 Kawasaki ZX-10r. This was off the road on a top speed course so therefore no laws were actually broken Definitely not an actual 195 because bike speedos are way off. This was many moons ago. Bike has been long sold.

"IF" they should impose a AWB, How Fast
I see an AWB going through. However, there will be grandfathering. Forced buyback/surrender? Please. Not unless they want a civil war. Furthermore, any congressman/woman who votes for that will be looking for a new job the year following.

NICS volume
Thanks for the reply! Makes me feel a little better. On that note, I picked up two of your blocked G17 mags while at this particular FFL. Very nice mags i might add.

NICS volume
Maybe someone can clarify whats going on with my NICS check: 1) Firearm received at FFL on Sat. Dec. 29 2) Monday Dec. 31 I get a call from FFL. NICS called back to verify info. According to my FFL, NICs transcribed the info wrong or read it improperly on the fax. 3) Wed. Jan 2, called FFL, no response. They didn't say I was "delayed" or anything. This a normal turnaround given the holiday?

Can someone explain what they're oiling up when they say run wet?
Yup. He's tough to get used to at first. I'd really like to train with him in the future.

When they mean "wet" it's SLIP 2000 on the BCG. Inside of the upper where the BCG rides (rails) as well as the BCG itself. You don't need half a bottle but it would suffice to say that there is a "generous" coating. You'll often see oil weep out of the lower pins. 90% of users don't have to worry about running their carbine wet. The guys who need to worry are the ones firing 750-1000 rds a clip under intense training circumstances. FYI, I believe the guy who coined the phrase "run it wet" is Pat Rogers of EAG Tactical. He found that a lot of students in his courses were suffering failures on their carbines due to lack of lubrication.

The missing link on 45 vs 9mm stopping power
If my ass gets shot with either...I am falling to the ground and crying like a little girl. Either is fine. I prefer .40 To each their own! My advice: Pick the caliber you can shoot accurately with under duress.

Illinois Legislature to introduce Assault Weapons ban which bans... well, everything.
+1 for never pass. At least not in any current form. Question for you guys: When you go to buy a car; do you come in with your absolute most expensive offer? Or do you low-ball the hell out of the salesman? Think about it. Of course they're going to come in with some ridiculous, anti-constitutional nonsense. It will get stripped down, cut up, into something that can pass.

PTR-91
My brother has one. Fret not about the polymer lower/trigger group. It's a metal frame shrouded in polymer. They're excellent quality guns. The front handguard/barrel shroud is an absolutely massive piece of metal. Gun shoots very well. Recoil is pretty much minimal. Only issue is in typical HK fashion, it mangles spent brass. Can't reload.

First time shooting at the Bullet Hole
My only "complaints" about the BH are two-fold: 1) Over-zealous rangemasters. There's one or two that are bit too "Hitler'ish". You see me there AT LEAST once a month. There's no reason to bust my balls. I don't wave the muzzle outside the port, i don't rapid fire, and I don't look like I found my firearm in a dumpster on MLK Blvd in Newark. I can recount one occasion where I was shooting my 7.62 Saiga Conversion. I was firing maybe 1 round ever 2 seconds. Rangemaster comes up "I'm going to need you to slow it down..." OK then. Despite the fact every round was in a 1/2" group. It's only ONE particular rangemaster too. Even one that was initially a little nazi, is now not bad. 2) It gets busy. Hey...god bless them. It's the only range in the area. Other than that, can't complain. Owners seem nice. I've bought firearms from them before.

Luciano's-Lodi/West Paterson
They will hopefully be doing a transfer for me soon. Ordered a rifle off GB at the beginning of the hysteria. It should be enroute.

5 round magazine limit....
Bills that will likely be introduced but highly unlikely to pass. We have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. Christie supported the original AWB but has said repeatedly that he will veto any additional restrictive legislation. I don't see it going through. Just as I don't see the "forced buy-backs" taking place in any such arena (be it state OR federal). These people are quacks. They're also cashing in on the "sympathy" votes. That way come re-election it will be all "Oh I supported the ban on child-killing weapons" Furthermore, this is all media capitalism. Anyone with a microphone/recorder is milking it for all its worth. Where will they be in 6 months when none of this happens? Quietly reporting on the latest BS news. Either way, what a bunch of quacks. In the end, I feel there will unfortunately be a federal AWB. In addition, there will be a mag cap limit. I doubt it will be as low as 10, maybe 15.

More layoffs to come
I am just going to leave this right here. No less than a month after the Newark lay offs. http://www.northjersey.com/news/crime_courts/122010_Fatal_shooting_capped_violent_weekend_in_Newark.html

Mag carrier chest rig revisited...
I run a BlackHawk LW Commando Chest Rig http://www.blackhawk.com/product/Lightweight-Commando-Recon-Chest-Harness,1484,2.htm It was given to me 2nd hand by a Ranger when he finished his deployment. I make good use of it but I have some complaints. Let me ask a few questions first. What is the primary use of the rig? Will it be for training or mission spec? What is your intended loadout and what config will you be running your secondary?

Failzero AR-15 Extreme Duty Kit
Pretty much agree there too. I have the LMT enhanced because it was a gift. Either the BCM or LMT regular BCGs which are in the $150 range will work just as well.

How would you really engage multiple targets?
^This. Not a knock on IDPA or competition shooting but there is a definite difference between it and "gunfighting". I've taken a few combat courses. Trying to break into the private security operator field. In those courses its about complete situational awareness, not just targets. You need to be aware of level of threat, cover, when to do an additional assess, so on... In these courses there's often guys who are high shooters and then hard shooters. High shooters = accuracy but they often compromise use of cover Hard shooters = may not be as accurate but they are breathing and their targets are not I've always tried to find a balance. You can't pull the trigger if you're dead. In the case of MULTIPLE threats: 1) Assess the threat 2) *COVER* period 3) Engage threats in closest proximity first. Simple as that. Greater distance = greater chance they'll miss 4) Work from there

Re-Introduction
Thanks everyone. Main reason I held off was due to "firearm related" sites being blocked at work (where i do most of my browsing). Came in today to a nice early Christmas present of finding firearm sites allowed again.

Failzero AR-15 Extreme Duty Kit
Personally, in terms of reliability...your money could be spent better elsewhere. I see a $400 for an upper and BCG that isn't really held in high regard against the "combat" manufacturers. I run an LMT factory lower with a BCM upper, LMT enhanced BCG, and BCM 14.5" (16" with muzzle furn) barrel. BCM makes great products as well as LMT. Colt is also a good name for BCG's. If I were you: BCM Upper (ramps or not, depending on your barrel)-$90 LMT enhanced BCG (buy an extra set of springs, they've been known to crack them) $285 Slip EWL and 725 Those parts combined with good ammo and running her wet...she'll do you right. FWIW I know operators who shoot VOLUMES of fire (1000 rds. per training session) with those combos.

Hello everyone. I've been a member here for some time. Until now I have not had a real chance to make my way around here. I live in the Clifton area of NJ. Look forward to taking part in the community.

Saiga 223 at Classic Arms
Hold off for a 7.62 The 7.62's can be converted really nice to look exactly like an AMD/AK/WASR10 etc. So can the .223's but i would think the 7.62 is cheaper to shoot. I have a 7.62 converted with black furniture
