Do you happen to have a link or copy of the BATF letter on that, as it was my understanding that they are no longer clasifying brakes? Thanks, as I am interested in trying this comp, but want confirmation that it is NJ legal first. Does it really matter? A brake is a brake. If it is also a flash hider, and all reports I have read say it hides flash about like an A2, it is not Jersey legal.

I do that with some of my guns to see their limits, I just prefer to grab a clean gun. I don't blame you. After some good testing I keep a couple clean and ready as "go to" guns. However I have to admit that my most used handguns and carbine lead a dirty life :shifty:

I am going to go with the "Hell No" crowd. I lube when they get dry, and when they really get nasty I clean them It is an interesting exercise to let them get dirty enough to malfunction. I bet most would be suprised how long/how many rounds it takes 8-)

I wish I had been able to make it. Hopefully I will be in NJ for the next one.

Nice M4gery Nick, I think it needs an EOTech

Their web site says they open at 0900, so you might want to drive slow

That was a really interesting video. I am impressed with what a belt can take. All of the SOE gear I have used has been good stuff. As to Yeager, I don't see how someone's opinion of him has anything to do with the quality of SOE gear, and an entertaining video. On the other hand, the whole cameraman controversy never really bothered me, as it was all consenting adults, and Like Tosser said, which safety rule was violated? What would the people complaining about the video do in a self defense situation if the assailant was near an innocent, not shoot as they are not on a 180' range?

It just barely makes it

Well I guess I got lucky, as mine (several years old) for a glock 19/23 works great with Walmart Federal bulk pack 22. My only suggestion for those with problems is to try some different ammo and see what works for yours, even if it is not on the list that comes with the upper.

Correct.

I have used both the big dot and the standard dot. I like them both but prefer the standard dot. Next time I see you, you are welcome to give them a try. I had a pic of both, I will see if I can dig it up. Edited to add a picture comparing the big dot to standard dot:

This is where it gets dangerous, as if you have a full auto trigger group, and a full auto safety (regardless of what BCG is used), when the safety is placed on auto, the sear (not auto sear) will be held back, and the hammer will follow the bolt forward. This can, particularly with soft primers, result in multiple shots with one trigger pull, or just result in a failure to fire malfunction on the second round. This is a recipe for prison :shock:

By that logic, wouldn't that make heavy, H2, and H3 buffers illegal also as even a H1 buffer adds more reciprocating weight than a FA carrier. Secondly, slam fires can occur in any AR (semi or FA carrier) with high primers. I am not saying go out and buy FA carriers, I can see both sides of the legal picture.

Even when the BCG is all the way forward, the extended portion of the FA carrier is behind the hammer. The FA carrier does not reach the hammer, and is no where near the sear. In a full auto gun the carrier would trip the auto sear (a semi does not have this part), which is located directly above the safety. Edited to add a picture of an auto sear in a full auto gun (not mine). It is the piece behind the hammer:

No offense, but do you even know the difference between a full auto and a semi carrier? There is absolutely no way a full auto carrier will make a AR with a semi trigger group fire multiple shots with one trigger pull. In the Olafson case you are refering to, the trigger group included full auto trigger parts and a full auto safety, which is where his legal issues arose. Edited to add a pic of some AR BCGs to help anyone not familiar with the difference. In a gun without a sear or a DIAS the extra material on lower rear of the FA BCG does not even touch anything when it reciprocates

I can't imagine why anyone would pay that much for a 1 in 9 twist barrel in a 8lb rifle :shock: I wanted a Masada badly. I got to check them out at last years SHOT show. But I have no interest in what Bushmaster is selling, even if it was priced reasonably.

I can't understand all the trouble she is having. The women that takes care of the firearm permits has always been good to me. I picked up 3 handgun permits 2 weeks ago and even though she was not there a Police Officer took care of me. I am pretty sure all the PD's are sending everyone out for finger printing now but I am not sure where your girlfriend will have to go and I think she will have to make an appointment. If your girlfriend already has her Firearms Purchase Card and is submitting a handgun permit she will need a MO for $18.00 and $2.00 for each permit which she can pay cash. Just try to keep your cool tomorrow and not blow your top, don't give them any reason to give you any more of a hard time then they have and I am sure everything will work out. I am also surprised by the trouble she is having. All of my dealings with them have been great, and the woman who handles the pistol purchase permits has always been extremely nice to me and easy to deal with.

Sorry Caine. The ones I saw had a small (easily removed) piece of metal jammed into the front of the follower to make it hold one round less. If that is the case with yours it is an easy and cheap fix, just get the thicker base inserts from PK90, and throw away the little pieces of metal and the original base inserts.

I checked out a Tips "15 round" mag a while back. It was a cut down old style 30 round p-mag, with a small piece of metal jammed into the bottom of the follower to limit it to 15 rounds (if you cut down a 30 it holds 16 unless you use a PK90 insert, or rig it like Tips did). The problem with the piece of metal jammed into the follower is that, if you pulled it out it, becomes an illegal mag. If any of you have these mags you may want to check out the followers, and if they merely have a small piece of metal jammed in then many (myself included) would consider them illegal.

Which school is doing this, as I would like to avoid them in general?

My 2.5 year old nephew likes playing with flashlights, and I was not going to buy him surefires, so I ordered a few from dealextreme. The Cree LEDs themselves are great, the machining and finish on the bodies varies from moderate to poor, and some of the switches were reliable, while others only work if you wiggle them. For the price you can't go too wrong, but try to order models with more ratings/stars. The best I got was http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1993, it worked well and is pretty bright.

I read the title and thought John was acting up

I havn't been to Tumulty's for 20 years. Glad they are still around. Is the Brunswick Pub still there (some of the best burgers I ever had), as RU was trying to take the location for more housing in the early 90s?
