I love the PTR32-- all of those HK clones are starting to really grow on me. Add to that one chambered in x39? Mmm... might have to put my thoughts on a bolt gun aside for the time being...

I really hope to pencil in plans in the coming months for 2012 SHOT. Always seems like a good time, plus, who could complain being in Vegas (in January!). It could be pretty interesting if we could get an NJGF group out there for next year.

Original source: http://www.foxnews.c...place-famed-ak/ --- The Russian Defense Minister stated in a private meeting that Russia should consider replacing their Kalashnikovs and SVDs with foreign made/produced small arms. This is probably an old story, but the first I'm hearing/reading about it. I find it slightly amusing as I could imagine the argument taking place in their meetings would sound a lot like this forum's "AK vs. AR" threads And interesting enough, some of the comments made public do sound a lot like some of the comments made in the past regarding this topic. I'm not an AK guy, and don't have throngs of information that would support one argument or another... so, ultimately, I don't have an opinion one way or another. Should be interesting to see how Russia goes about this debate though. ETA: Fixed the link

Ugh, another case of Dell-Alienware stuff being shoddy. Unfortunately I don't have any sage advice to offer. My experience was that I use to work mutually with Alienware (when it was an independent company) when it helped with some sponsor events and whatnot, but we immediately dropped ties when Dell bought them out. Not that Dell is a terrible company (there is far worse), but corporate America > quality. My suggestion is like another person's. If you aren't having luck with customer support, take it to corporate and badger them until they provide something that you would be happy with.

Stick's stuff is amazing. Not many other words to describe the level of quality he delivers for our drooling needs. As for the Magpul iPhone case, its about time. Shown at SHOT 2010, but re-worked and now release for sale... I'll have to put an order in later.

Finally took a look at this after perusing some of the SHOT stuff. I have no further information, but I too am quite intrigued. I've been dependent on my rifle as my go-to HD firearm, but the KSG looks quite intriguing. I'm a shorter guy with shorter arms, so, an 870 or 500 (and 590 more so) is just unwieldy for me to be comfortable with. The 14+1 is a nice touch, as is the ability to switch between shot and slugs, but, for me, the fact that it seems more accommodating for indoor/tight spaces is a definite game changer. With that said, I too am waiting to see what issue reveal themselves initially... plus, 880 MSRP is just too much for what is otherwise a pump shotgun. Still, quite intrigued.

Classes for the semester start tomorrow at a few of the major universities too... so, added traffic + crappy weather....

Wow, so many military folk this time around. Personally, I'm liking it on a few different levels, though it should be interesting to see how all of the different service types work together clash (at least egos). Should be an interesting season.

Of course, and I agree vlad. My comment was not saying that people shouldn't feel in any manner they feel is appropriate. My comment referred to the fact that this is a public space, and we must be weary of what we put into a public space.

Let's tone down the personal interjections of how we would want a human being to suffer. Saying that we want a human being to suffer excruciating pain and whatnot on a public space does not reflect well on the rest of the community. Further, it does not add to any relevant discussion of remembering Officer Christopher Matlosz, RIP. Thanks for understanding. ETA: I do suggest editing your own posts; and any posts discussing how a person should suffer in this thread moving forward will be removed.

RIP. Justice will be swift, as it should.

I've learned to download at least one in my XDsc as trying to do a reload with one in the chamber 50% of the time will lead to a malfunction.

Welcome to the forum.

The wording itself is ridiculous (regarding the poll); plus, yea, online polls are as legit as Afghani elections

I just heard in passing on FNC that they (WBC) won't be protesting any funerals, regardless of the law being passed by AZ lawmakers.

Wasn't bad at all around me. Still got around 8in or so, but took all of 20 minutes to clear out from the drive way and around the property. Everything around here seems open, and, for once, the township is actually clearing my neighborhood at a reasonable time, instead of 12+ hours after the storm has ended

Ugh. What drives me crazy about all of this is the general theme that politicians scramble to take advantage of such a terrible tragedy for their own benefit. Measures like this, and other actions targeting 2A, is that its more of an insult as the issue was never guns, but the fact that numerous people and organizations dropped the ball. And instead of examining those issues, the automatic assumption is that individuals are not safe from their own thinking, and that guns will somehow rise up and take over the world. (Ok, a little sarcasm there at the end). Why aren't there more discussions in the political realm revolving around how and or why this kid was able to legally buy a firearm with the background he had? As Wojo pointed out earlier, and granted it has been getting coverage, how about the lack of security detail? Especially in a state with such high tensions currently? There are plenty of other questions to be asked, and granted they all are "double-edged" in a sense (as they could have both positive and negative outcomes). But stuff like this is such a distraction from a larger issue (such as the toxic political environment that ALL institutions contribute too that are creating deranged individuals [from all backgrounds and beliefs]); and the fact that it boils down to what is otherwise just a hunk of metal (or polymer) is highly insulting to me. Its insulting that politicians think they could somehow make me (and the general public) believe that they can find a magical solution to what is, in reality, a complicated situation that they are in fact, at least, partially responsible for (and of course not acknowledge that fact). I'm a big believer that it takes tragedy or a miracle to truly make changes (as that is what the masses apparently respond too, or are believed they should respond too). And in the initial wake of the events, I did see all people put aside their party lines, and come together to mourn, as well as admit the faults that were creating such an environment that, possibly, created this deranged individual. But wow, that came tumbling down pretty quick, and, as always, its just the same old politics

MG is the term used in the NFA laws, but it essentially means a select-fire firearm that can expend more then one round per trigger squeeze (aka fully automatic vs. semi-automatic)

I can think of at least one entity that has an MG; so, I know for a fact that it is definitely feasible.

Its true, but I'm simply stating what "is," and not necessarily what "isn't" (yet). And who knows? Maybe someone on the board has enough money and/or pull, and has the ability to have an MG-- so, it would be irresponsible to say that they are completely illegal.

** Fixed the topic's title. Gosh, talk about tunnel vision, and how I totally missed that.

I totally feel for you. I too have previously examined the NFA laws, and was disappointed for the same reasons. I suppose its just one more reason to get out of NJ

SBRs are not allowed in NJ. The NFA items allowed in NJ are MGs and AOWs (and good looking getting the paperwork signed off for those). So, sorry, no-go for the RONI.

That's the thing though, vlad, for the most part every nation's actions have an ulterior motive. There are exceptions, like during relief efforts after major natural disasters, but otherwise why invest (time and money and emotions/care) into something or someone that would have no return? Look at Sudan and the Darfur region; the plight of Tibet; the millions of lives affected by the global sex trafficking market; etc. I'm not saying that the US should be involved, no, that's a different argument... I'm saying that the US have not and will not be involved in such affairs because there is no return, or it could actually be detrimental to other ties. Morally right and morally wrong are reserved for the individual, otherwise its all just business IMO.

Hello and welcome.
