Ted, offer much appreciated, would like to take you up on it today. Will PM you for tel #.

So it looks like I'm going to have to modify the piston shaft in my Adams Arms piston kit for my AR in order for it to work with the Daniel Defense rail and have the recommended clearance between the end of the shaft and the gas block. I need to take 0.020" off a hardened steel rod (the piston shaft). The shaft is 0.17" in diameter at the end where the metal needs to be removed, 0.250" in diameter at the mid point of the shaft and 0.425" at the opposite end. Shaft is ~11 1/8" in overall length.

So finally got it assembled enough to do some action/function checks and I'm running into some issues. Let's start with the easy question first. Is it normal for for the casings on .223 rounds to get gouged/dented like the below (and leave brass chips on the bolt lugs/bolt carrier) like below when simply using the charging handle to cycle the bolt carrier back and forth and eject rounds?:

Mexico is well on its way to becoming a terrorist state.

Note that the statute refers to discharging, not possession. I don't *think* it's illegal to *possess* it in NJ, but it is illegal to shoot it.

Yep, the detailed district information is **NOT** in the PDF linked from the NJ1015.com story, so no one knows from that document alone whether their district is participating or not: http://millenniumradionj.com/WKXW-FM/News/documents/Districts_with_Wage_Freezes_Reductions_4-6-10.pdf

Thanks! So here's the actual statute:

Actually, I don't think we've had the actual text of N.J.S.A 2C:39-3f(1) posted yet. What's been posted in the State Police's advice/interpretation of N.J.S.A 2C:39-3f(1) in regards to hollow point ammunition. Been trying to google it with no luck - anyone got the actual statute for N.J.S.A 2C:39-3f(1)?

Now that's good ole 'Merican ingenuity right there!

No, hunting is a legal use of hollowpoints specifically mentioned in the State Police's blurb.

Charged and/or convicted of anything? If so, what? So I'm still trying to fully understand this...is this a "blanket illegal with specified exclusion" concept, where hollowpoints are first declared illegal and then a small number of "allowed" uses is defined? From the State Police guidelines that DW quoted, it appears that certain *locations* and *transport* are allowed, but I don't see anything about *uses*. (edit: aside from hunting).

Picked up my lower from FFL today. In the course of conversation while doing the transfer he claimed two things: 1 - Hollow point bullets are illegal to use for self defense. I replied that I thought hollow points were legal as long as one didn't commit a crime with them. He countered that no, even in a "legal" self defense, it is illegal to use hollow points. I call B.S. on that, but I've been wrong before. 2 - If you join the http://www.anjrpc.org/, besides the other benefits, you also get "special dispensation" to vary your travel more from home to range, such as stopping to eat or visiting a friend, as opposed to only taking the most direct route from the range to home as possible. First I heard of that one too. Is he full of it?

Thanks for that. Re-approached the roll pins with vice grips, channel locks and electrical tape and now the receiver is completely assembled! FTW! I think channel lock pliers are superior to the vice grip method. I taped the channel lock jaws, lubed up the roll pin and the hole, positioned the pin and the pliers and then started squeezing more and more while making sure the pin was straight and they just glided in.

Update - Muzzle brake pinned/welded by PK90. Quick Service! Got the Sun Devil lower from the FFL today (purchased via gunbroker, shipped to local FFL). Assembled the lower receiver with the exception of the bolt release and trigger guard cause I'm a wimp with the roll pins. Anyone got suggestions on how to start roll pins? Having trouble getting them started, may have to get a "roll pin holder/starter" tool. Now waiting on buffer tube/buffer/spring so I can put the Ace stock on. Did a quick mock-up with magazine and ace stock:

I've used both of these successfully at IDPA (with a Glock 26): Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC: Blackhawk Serpa Sporster Edit: Also tried a Fobus, ended up selling it because it gripped the gun too tightly. I really like the Blackhawk Serpa release button.

I'll gladly take a decommissioned "blessed" ACOG. Some random letters and number stamped on it don't bother me.

Enjoy your time travel!
