Is the time frame going to be some time around 8-830 as usual?

I liked D9. I also know how to say the F word in a Swedish accent But seriously, really good film, and even better if you consider that it was filmed from a South African perspective. If it was an American film, gosh, it would've been terrible. I still need to go see Tarantino's latest film, hopefully to get the bad taste of his grindhouse attempt out of my mouth.

I'll be there tentatively. Just got back from vacation, and need to catch up on a few things, but I need some range time :!: Might be there a bit earlier though to get some actual shooting done, and then proceed with the BSing.

The technicalities of whether or not Coasties are military can be confusing. During times of peace, the Coasties are a part of the DHS. However, during times of war, they then fall under the US Navy, and are an official branch of the DOD. I've worked with Coasties, and regardless of the technicalities they do their impossible job better then anybody gives them credit for.

Thanks for the info, Chad. Like I said, I already have an AR15 (and prefer it over any other firearm I own), but for the reasons you listed, along with my own, I definitely do want a .22LR. At this point I guess I'll do a bit more research and make a decision from there. The ability to break the Henry Survival down, and stow it is just awesome to me. However, I guess if I really needed something more dependable, there are far more superior rifles out there. I'll stop by Cheyenne when I get back from my short vacation, and/or hassle one of you to bring a .22 to the next Tuesday outing after I get back.

hello and welcome from a former Army fellow.

Ah ok, yea, now that the memory has resurfaced, I think I remember being chased by Michael or something at 3/4AM when I was coming back from AC. But yea, that road is pretty handy... connects to everything from central down to southern NJ without being overloaded with traffic.

I was considering adding this to my collection as a SHTF survival type rifle. Any comments on how it operates? I'm not familiar with .22s at all, so things like durability/reliability and accuracy are unbeknown to me. I would check online, but I don't trust that information out here; I do trust the info from here... so, any comments on it? If I did get it, it wouldn't be a plinker for me, nor would it be a primary. Just a backup, and a means to an end (hunting small game if necessary, or a contingency to the contingency). I do have a black rifle, and will probably be getting a DMS-1 scope for it, any opinions on what optics would work well on the Henry Survival?

Is 539 the road that goes by Dix and gets really creepy late at night when storms come through and there is nobody else on the road?

Gunbroker.com has mostly all of them listed around 1500. The catch is that you'll have to find an FFL that's willing to accept a non-compliant rifle, and then send it out again to be neutered... which will cost you a bit more at the end.

They're available. Seen them for around 1500~

I'd say the new piston system they've designed might be a downside considering its brand new tech. This is also a positive though because if it can deliver consistently with rugged durability, this is going to really change things in the AR world IMO

welcome!

The EMP is NICE. An Army buddy of mine that I visited a few weeks ago has one, and they're comfortable and smooth. I'm not a pistol enthusiast or expert, but I think its the best carry pistol out there. Extra magazines aren't bulky, and fit comfortably in pockets without looking like you're carrying around magazines. If I was going to get a HD pistol, I think I would still prefer a full-sized 1911, only because it would carry maybe an extra round or two.

My response probably can canvas other threads. I would love to get membership at CJRPC because I too am a big believer in shooting outdoors (I would rather save my lungs the trouble-- hence the reason why I quit smoking). And the fact that they have a 24/7 indoor range is a nice touch, though I'm not big on pistol shooting anymore. They are a bit closer to me then BA or SS, and seems far more accessible then Range 14 (considering range 14 is seasonal and day-dependent). I also do like the fact that CJRPC has a lot of events, though I'm not that big on shooting with strangers 8-) . However, after meeting the guys at BA, and without even applying much effort to reach out there-- I have to admit that its friendly without being overbearing. I could stand in my stall and shoot, or BS with the guys at the counter, or probably the other NJGF guys that would be there. And now that they've added the more intimate, hands-on defense/tac courses, I'm excited to see how BA will continue to grow in catering to veteran shooters, casual shooters, and newbies.

Agreed. It shows that common sense is common

Nice. There are a lot of choices out there for casual gun/duty belts. 5.11, Blackhawk make more commercially known items. I've personally worn the Liger gun belt made by Maxpedition (great bags too), and really liked it as well. Ligers are a bit pricey, but the ergonomics and quality is superior, IMO. http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/vie ... ategory=16

Congrats. Just curious, what handgun will you be stowing with you?

Hello and welcome

If you can afford an ACOG, might as well spend a bit extra and get the red dot that can be attached, or get the ACOG that has the red dot attached. Truth is though, if you're going to get an ACOG, there is no sense being a budget-savvy consumer. I like EOTechs myself, as they're just built like tanks, but I'd take tritium over batteries any day. The ACOG with the attached red dot would be something like: http://www.trijicon.com/user/parts/prod ... tegoryID=3 It is also possible to get the TA01 and add an RDS mount and micro-red dot. But if I had an ACOG, that is good enough as the 4x32 model still allows for relatively short range mobility (with practice), and the ability to reach out as well.

Ouch on the 911 situation, hope that ended favorably. As for what you pay, of course. But while Verizon coverage is pretty darn good on the east coast (NJ in our case), out in the midwest its not so much. I remember one of the "Dead Zone" commercials Verizon had on TV, and they showed an unmarked map of Denver and the surrounding areas. Even in a place like Denver, there were numerous pockets of dead zones. However, I did not have any issues with AT&T. Yea, in our application Verizon works just fine, but I'm not planning on walking around NJ for the rest of my life...

I keep a five gallon bucket filled with sand for this type of situation. I drop the mag, point the rocknroll towards the sand, and rack the slide. Every building in the field that I saw always had a couple of these in designated areas right outside. Figured it would be a good idea for the homestead. Just make sure its all sand though. Rocks and whatnot might cause ricochet or fragments.

My gripe with Verizon is that they are expensive in comparison to others. Further, Verizon's response to upgrading the US' infrastructure was FiOS? Emerging second and third world countries have better networking options I believe.

From a sports angle, this costs the Eagles NOTHING for a player who can make an impact if he even reaches 80% of his former talent (not to mention his ceiling potential). With McNabb's inconsistencies (when he's good, he's GREAT; when he's bad, he's better on the bench), Kolb's MCL sprain, and Feeley being a journeyman QB; Vick has the ability to really open up the Eagles offense. It seems that the Eagles are all about speed (Jackson, Maclin, Westbrook, and I guess McNabb still has some mobility), as they're finally catching on to where the NFL is transitioning too. They're like the Raiders, except they can actually execute a game plan! I agree that what he did is heinous, and he will never be forgiven. However, I honestly think he's served his hard time, and will be in debt to society for the rest of his life (Federal prison is no joke). But to take away a person's potential, spit in their face, and outcast them is ethically not sound. Yes, to play in the NFL is a privilege, and maybe it is the NFL and society that allows the continuing failure of individual's decision making. However, it is ultimately a sport, a form of entertainment. Football is not the American ideals or values manifested, nor is it something to live by or live towards. If people do believe that, I think they're only fueling the continuing trend set by society currently. The man will sell tickets, air time, and bring in revenue for teams, industries, and cities. He will fulfill a role, and if he ends up being a high character individual who wins some games, then so be it. If he just drifts on by, so be it. If people hate him, get his name off your lips. Simple as that.

Yea, I'm not a big fan of Verizon either-- but it does help that I still have a government discount with them. So, I can't complain too much. Their phones are quite pitiful compared to the rest of the market though-- no pros whatsoever.
