Abuse is abuse, whether with a Taser, beating them with a nightstick or shooting someone without cause. Especially with the explosion of camera's (whether passerby's, the dashboard cam, or even the personal camera's that they're testing on police on the west coast) if you abuse someone with anything, you are more and more likely to be prosecuted for it. It's a changing world, the more tools you have the better. I have a hammer, it doesn't mean I don't buy other tools if they're going to work better for a job than the hammer. DNA evidence can be abused, I don't see a reason to stop using it. My Buddy's father, when he was in the police academy received training on how to properly shoot at a moving vehicle from another moving vehicle while giving chase. (This was probably only 40 years ago) With the number of people around that's probably a good policy change to what we have today. I'd certainly rather be Tasered (or see one of my family tasered) over being hit by a car or shot in the chest. Oh, and I totally think that 17 yr old dumbass that got Tasered on the field the other night deserved it. Even after his father told him running onto the field was a bad idea, just goes to show that sometimes your parents do know better, but that's a different thread.

Awesome read, thanks for posting.

Wow. I'm really sorry to hear the kids especially had to see that kind of insanity. Last time I was in Camden (at the aquarium with the wife and kids actually) I REALLY wished we had an kind of CCW here. I talked to someone a few weeks ago that said he doesn't even stop at the stop signs and rarely does more than slow down at the red lights when he's in that area, he just keeps rolling. I thought he was crazy but I guess not. Pathetic.

I bought a Charles Daly O/U with 32" Miroku barrels. I need to clean the gun tonight anyway, so I'll have to snap a few pics and post them later. If you get a chance you should stop by Griffin and Howe in Bernardsville. They sell very high end guns. I bought my O/U there (used) about 8-9 years ago. The place is ridiculously expensive but if you want to see some really neat guns it's worth stopping in. When i was there they had a lever action rifle on display built in (I believe) the 1870's with an octagonal barrel. Too cool. They have cool things like double barreled shotguns with a rifle barrel underneath (for Safari hunting) and I believe they have their own line of firearms. They will be able to tell you what you are looking for as far as LOP and how the shotgun should fit you so that alone could make the trip worth it. It's not a place you're probably going to buy much from (I felt that their normal clientelle are probably English Lords going on Safari and in fact that's basically how they started their business) but it is a cool place that I think everyone should check out at some point. Good Luck!

It's all a matter of what you want out of the gun. My mossberg 590 is a nice gun and it takes up to 3" shells, but it's nothing like my O/U. I'm a firm believer that it's more about skill than equipment but if you shoot well and have the money, the fit and finish on an O/U is excellent. Why buy a tricked out Kimber over a RI 1911? Sure they perform the same basic function but they are not the same. My gun will extract or eject and it's adjustable for each barrel. So if I was out wingshooting I'd probably want it to eject so I could drop 2 more shells in real quick. When you're shooting trap, the shells ejecting is annoying, so I set them to extract and they just pop up out of the chamber a half inch instead flying over my shoulder. Not a huge deal but when you shoot a lot it's a convenience. Just like auto day/night mirrors or heated seats in your car. (of which I have neither by the way) The engraving is definitely a big factor, especially on high end guns. The difference in a $15K K80 vs a $30K+ K80 is really just the engraving. I have to say though that everyone I know who shoots a K80 thinks they are incredible, very well made guns. When the local range was still open here, there used to be a regular crowd who would be there every week and there were a couple of K80's there. Of course one guy was a Dr and one a Lawyer but they were there every Saturday and some sundays unless it was pouring. When you shoot 5-10K shells through the gun a year and spend that much time on something, the gun needs to fit well and perform flawlessly, why not spend the money on something you enjoy if you have it? Check the web for shotgun engravings, its a dying art and all done by hand. Truely incredible work. [attachment=0]1000235255.jpg[/attachment]

Don't let my wife find out. I've built 2 Romy G kits on NDS3 receivers and they are pretty easy to work with. The holes did not line up 100% but they were easily adjusted. if you went that route you would need an AKM rear trunnion which can be had for about $25, then you could put on just about any stock you wanted. If you wanted to use an Ace skeleton stock, If you went with the NDS 1 you could use the custom rear Trunnion from AK builder. This would allow you to mount the ace skeleton stocks directly to it and not have to deal with the ugly bulge at the back if you use a standard AKM trunnion. I bought one a while back and need to pick up an NDS1 (or 2) to try that out myself. Just a thought, when it comes to AK's there are almost as many options as with AR's. Don't forget to check the headspace. Good luck.

K80? Those are beautiful guns, way out of my price range but... If you're looking to shoot trap and shoot alot, buy a dedicated trap gun. (Unless you're shooting skeet or sporting clays? I really need to try Sporting Clays. I didn't see which in your post) I learned trap on a cheap single shot break open gun that was lent to me. I also separated a rib head from the back of my spine because I didn't have the gun shouldered quite correctly (because I was in a rush at the time for who knows what reason) and I was shooting loads that were a little bit too heavy for that crappy light gun and it kicked me... hard. The gun should have some weight to it to ddeaden recoil and should fit you properly. Borrowing a gun to go hunting that doesn't quite fit you isn't reeally a big deal if you're firing it once. If you're putting 50, 100, 200 shells through the gun in an afternoon, you're going to find out real quick that the gun is a bitch to shoot if it's too light or it doesn't fit you well. Especially if it's hitting you in the face which is common with an ill fitting stock. I have a Charles Daly o/u w/32" barrels and while not a Krieghoff it's a decent gun and fits me perfectly that I managed to pick up used. Many people I know buy a gun and need to have the stock fitted, I was fortunate enough to pick that gun up and it was basically made for me. I have put many thousands of shells through that gun shooting trap and it's pleasure to shoot. I have also put 2 rounds through it shooting turkeys. (2 different turkey, see the hunting thread if you're interested). Keep that in mind when you go looking for a shotgun, you don't want to pay additional money to have it adjusted if you can avoid it. This mossberg looks nice, it doesn't say if the gun extracts/ejects or is adjustable? If it ejects only, shells shooting over your shoulder when you crack open the gun is not a huge deal, but is sort of a PITA when you're on the line. Good luck.

Thanks! I like it. The taste itself is pretty similar but the consistency is a bit tougher, but not too bad. This bird was a few years old and obviously spent more time on the run rather than just standing around waiting to get the ax. I shot my first Turkey last year and he was about the same size, maybe a little bit older and I found the meat was pretty much the same as this one. My mother in law thought that the dark meat was a little gamey, but I'm not a big fan of the dark meat anyway.

People Eating Tasty Animals of course! I shot this gobbler on Saturday at my in-laws up in PA and we had a Turkey dinner (well really a late lunch) on Sunday afternoon. [attachment=1]php5cQbIrAM.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=0]phpyIqo83AM.jpg[/attachment] With luck these photos will even show up.

I've built several AK's on NDS receivers that I had transferred through an FFL here. As far as I'm aware you are still subject under the 922r laws unless you're planning on building a pistol (which probably isn't going to happen here legally). As far as I'm aware this is the case even with home bent or US made receiver, you still need to build with 10 or less Foreign parts. Starting with an NDS receiver and a G2 fire control group already gives you 4 of the 6 necessary parts amd if you go with a US made break you're already up to 5. For an AK the parts list is: 1. Muzzle device 2. Barrel 3. Gas piston 4. Handguards 5. Trunion (this is the front trunion, the rear trunion does not count) 6. Bolt carrier 7. Bolt 8. Receiver 9. Pistol grip 10. Buttstock 11. Hammer 12. Sear 13. Trigger 14. Magazine body 15. Mag. Floorplate 16. Mag. follower

+1 to Personal Responsibility. If you fail to read the fine print and do your homework, especially on a purchase as large as a house, then it's your own damn fault. Some good people overextended themselves and got burned when the economy turned, but the rest? You make $30K and seriously think you can afford a house worth over $500K? Do you always believe what someone tells you when you go in to buy something? If so I'm guessing you've got a bunch of over priced crap that they were trying to clear out of inventory. As far as the economy coming down and surprising everyone, those who fail to learn from the past...

I'd say at least half of those guns are SBR. Certainly the MP5, Krink and the underfolder. I'm guessing at least one of the AR's as well. Well in a free state it's only an extra $200. Ah... a free state.

Maybe she should read some Dave Grossman and put things in perspective. He was a wolf, she was a sheep and apparently she will always be a sheep. Liberals will clearly never learn that despite whatever your socioeconomic situation is, some people are simply wired differently. They will take what they want, when they want. Their only reason for not doing so is their fear of being caught or killed. Haiti has been a sovereign nation for more than a century so while you can blame the French for much of their issues during their beginning, they have only themselves to blame for the last few decades. This women is clearly in need of help.

If the leather is really dry I would apply some oil. Don't go too crazy, just wipe it on and let it soak in, you can always add more but you don't want the stuff dripping all over. Leather is like a sponge so it will suck up quite a bit, especially if it's really dry. Mink oil works well or any other oil designed for leather. It's like your skin, without oil, it gets dry and brittle. If you get it wet, the water pulls the oil right out. Good luck.

Luckily the laws here aren't as bad as in the UK... yet. :roll: http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/news ... g_pistols/

For a movie that everyone loved so much do to it's historical significance, the ending is moronic. I thought Enemy at the gates was great up until that point and then just shook my head. A story that centers around one of the greatest sniper duels of all time, between 2 top notch snipers and you F up the sniper part? The book 'War of the rats' is a much better retelling, much closer to the way that Zaitsev recalled the event in interviews years later.

The show is somewhat entertaining but more than a little bit silly. I'll have to keep an eye out for the one on the Spetsnaz though.

Everything I've read has been that as long as you don't over stretch the springs (plastic deformation vs elastic) the force from the springs should not be decreased. I read an account where a loaded mag that was found from WW2 was loaded and run through 50 years later without a single misfeed. As far as downloading a magazine, I've read that the reason SF groups in Nam used to download mags by 2 rounds had nothing to do with deforming the springs, it was actually the opposite. The early mags when fully loaded where too tight and they found it difficult to strip the first round off the top of the mag. Hence the reason for downloading by 2 was for reliability, but not for the reason commonly thought.

That's awesome! Hopefully you'll post pics, I'm curious what they mod on the booster cone to make it a non flash hider.

I read a post on another board about a year ago concerning the M1 carbine and it's legality in NJ. The poster basically said, well it can't be illegal in NJ, otherwise the CMP wouldn't ship them to you. I believe wholeheartedly that people really are that dumb. Of course it could also be an issue with shipping guns to NJ period, I guess we'll find out soon...

My parents bought me one of the cooler sized units a few years ago. We like it and use it regularly, especially with the kids.

Here's a version that has had the flash hider removed and made NY (and I'm assuming also NJ) legal. http://shop.hendersondefense.biz/produc ... egoryId=20 I've wanted one for years but I'm afraid if I dropped $2200 on it my wife would use it on me.

My wife gave me one of the ice cube trays for Christmas. The back of the case has a tendency to shear off coming out of the mold where the case is more narrow. It's pretty cool though and always gets a second look when someone sees it.

Were your feeding issues only with HP ammo? I've read alot of stories of people who have had feeding issues with Hollow point ammo in a vareity if AK's and have used this fix (or stopped using HP ammo).
