Photos or it didn't happen.

I've got one I bought at sears for less than $100. I'm on my second one in about 13 years so it was well worth the investment. Its kept not only my guns but tools and everything else metal rust free in my basement. Don't think you're going to find one 'safe sized'. Good luck.

I just bought the ace (there was a sale in the deal section a month or 2 ago, it might still be valid) and its pretty sweet but mine was an upgrade from an old A2 stock which sucked. Its all personal preference so go crazy.

BCM will only pin the comp on their 14.5" barrels as they need to be a minimum of 16" under federal law. So in this case you either need to pin it yourself or contact someone to do it (and of course the bayonet lug). Once that's done you can make your life easier and just use a fixed stock or go with Krdshrk's suggestion.

Nice work! Krink kits have always been ridiculously expensive for some reason, but I'd love to build one as a sbr out of state at some point. You use a full krink kit or are you just using the krink top cover and fsb and fabricate the rest?

I used to buy the predrilled receivers but the holes rarely line up so its easier to drill them yourselves. I have the equipment but lack the space, however have jigs will travel. I've seen people build them in less than an hour using a hammer, and cobbled together bits of metal. You can go crazy with jigs or you can build most of it with relatively simple tools, drills, files a BFH etc. I found a hydraulic press works pretty well for removing the barrel and setting the rivets but ive considered picking up a screw driven jig to reinstall the barrels as it gives you a lot more control than the press. Most build parties ive heard of usually recommend you demill the parts kit first (If necessary) as this step can be a huge time consuming PITA. I hope this helps.

I've purchased all kinds of tools from ak-builder and I've heard good things about his kit quality. Most of the kits I bought years ago when everybody had original barrel kits so I can't comment directly about the quality of the kits specifically. All the kits I've built have been on NODAK Spud receivers. Hope this helps.

I haven't watched the video but GFH offers an active shooter class every few months.

+1 on the dehumidifier. I made the mistake trying to use dessicant as well and finally just sprung for the dehumidifier. Much better decision and saved me a lot of money in the long term. Good luck.

I think you are going to be hard pressed to find a receiver that will allow you to insert the original bolt unless you leave the receiver in multiple pieces, and/or modify the bolt. Ive had an MG53 kit for years that I should have had built up when people were making transferable semi receivers for them. At this point it looks like dummy gun or move and build for me. Are you looking for just the back half or the entire receiver?

Ship it to work, or someone else if it worries you. I shipped my non compliant lower to my dad, stopped by with some silver solder, mapp torch and dremel. Done.

There are other tiers of membership above life that you can pay for. I'm currently a patron member I believe. That and you can always toss additional money to them as your frustration grows.

Justifiable need will never be overturned as long as there is a democratic, anti-gun legislature. Bach has said numerous times that it has already been defined in case law and nothing any Governor can do will change that without the law itself being changed. Bach says this new report opens the door a crack, which to me means in 5 years of litigation if things happen to go our way you could possibly, maybe have a slim shot of being able to carry a gun here legally. I think you suffer from unrealistic expectations. Does it suck? Of course but its been broken since the 60's so you're not going to undo it overnight. Unless you start getting rid of a large number of the most hard core antigun legislators you won't see any meaningful change for months if not years. Every change is going to be a hard fought legal battle in the courts.

He may very well have changed his position due to his time as prosecutor. Most cops I've known around here have been anti gun/neutral going in and 5+ years later have become pro-gun or at least neutral. My one buddy (who used to be very anti) describes his job as having only 2 functions. 1) cleaning up ugly messes, 2) giving people bad news. I think Bach had some great points, we know there is little Christie can do and I'd rather push him forward a bit rather than just beat him down. I think you way over estimate the leverage we have over Christie. No one (including Christie) thinks he'll be Pres, he's just trying to line up a job in the next admin. If he's moving in our direction why kick him in the teeth? We all know he could have done more, more quickly but going out of our way to piss him off isn't going to help us, we all know he could screw us even more if he wanted.

Justifiable need is already well documented in case law, its just documented to be extremely restrictive unfortunately.

I'm guessing Steve is doing the compliance mods? What does he charge for that if you don't mind me asking? Ive been considering a 74 and may have to pick up a post Christmas gift for myself.

I have found that most people who have shot my 590 with a Knox recoil reducing stock have commented on how soft shooting it is. It also has an adjustable length of pull to fit anyone in your family. As Vlad mentioned the low recoil/low noise TAP shells are both soft shooting and incredibly tight patterning. At HD ranges it won't open a pattern larger than a baseball.

If so that would be even better!

I considered telling them to F off and come back with a warrant but I was afraid they would come back with a warrant and 8 of their associates and smash down my door. They were actually pretty cool about the whole, especially since I happened to be home with my 3 yr old. Apparently I had a couple of lowers, 2 nodak receivers and a long gun. Apparently they suspected me of illegally manufacturing. Either way it was more than a little unsettling, I don't even own that many firearms.

Im looking at Ohio, specifically the Columbus area. Both my wife's job and mine have offices in this city so we can easily take our jobs and salaries with us. I can buy a house twice the size of my current one for about the same and even in an affluent area the taxes are much less on a larger house than I currently pay in NJ. Yes, they have a mag limit, but its 30 rounds.

I had 2 special agents from the ATF stop by my house one day and ask to look at some of my guns. Apparently they didn't like something in my FFL's ledger when they were going through it so they decided to swing by my house and verify that I had possession of all of them. Just saying.

I think it's actually an interesting idea for those whose primary purpose for owning a pistol is for target shooting only and who are concerned about security and/or have children. I would never put one on a home defense gun though.

No worries, I happened to being eyeing those recently. Thanks anyway!

PK90, do you have an Aero lower in FDE?

Im glad I wasn't the only one watching this the other night and thinking this kid is 100% correct and this poor bastard is too naive to realize it. Kids get it more than most people realize.
