So I'm starting to get serious about building an AR. Looks like I'll be buying a CMMG or Bravo Company mid-length upper to start. If I don't have an AR lower yet (still honoring my commitment to the NJGF Spike's Tactical group buy...), is it ok if I get an upper with "evil" features such as a bayonet lug and flash hider shipped to me? Plan is to dremel the bayo lug off and then send the upper + muzzle brake I'm buying separately to ADCO for them to pin/weld the brake on before I get a lower.

I drive by them about once every other month or so (this is the place on 206, right?), but never stopped in. Will stop next time.

Heh, I paid by money order with the intention to save him the CC merchant fee, back in the days when I thought he was doing the "gun community" a favor by offering the deals on ammo.

Finally received an email response last week after I sent them a 4th request for order status, and mentioned putting a trace on the money order, filing mail fraud charges, and filing a complaint with the Maine attorney general. Funny that they only responded to that email.... Today got a ship notice for the ammo with a tracking #, but it doesn't show up in the UPS system yet. Hopefully my dealing with this joker is almost over.

Scottrade, $7 per trade regardless of size for equities, and you can trade options if you wish to. No futures trading with their basic platform though.

I'm not saying the banks are "evil", however you want to define that, but they sure aren't blameless, either. In the housing bubble peak years, they either overtly committed, or were complicit with, fraud on a large scale with the underwriting of mortgages and/or packaging into mortgage backed securities. They failed to do sound underwriting such as verifying of income and sound appraisals because they knew they could pass the mortgage off onto some other bagholder before it blew up. MBS's are still detonating in the hands of investors around the world. How much damage has been done to pension funds in the US alone? How do you feel about Goldman Sachs selling MBS's to customers on one side of the office, and then taking huge bets against the performance of those same securities on the other side? Is taking taxpayer provided liquidity and using it to finance speculation such as leasing oil tankers to hold oil offshore in the hopes of driving oil prices up in the public interest? How many of the big banks are truly solvent right now? Are you sure? Do you know for certain how much bad debt that they've got in off balance sheet vehicles and/or marked at par when it's not optimally performing? Why is it that we seem to have had such ineffectual regulators and lax accounting standards until recently? I don't have a problem with Wall St. making money in of itself; I do have a problem when they are able to privatize their profits while at the same time socializing their losses and effectively "capturing" their regulators.

Hello fellow 3X leveraged ETF player! Made a lot trading in FAZ today! FAS/FAZ and the other triple bull/bear pairs (TNA/TZA, BGU/BGZ, TYP/TYH etc.) are good if you're in them for quick moves, but double and triple leverage ETF's are *NOT* 'buy-and-holds'. The re-balancing they do at the end of each day will drain away value over weeks/months unless the market continually moves in your favor.

Are you counting the pass-throughs that went to Goldman as a result of the AIG bailout/paying for CDS at 100%? What about the myriad of low/no cost lending facilities and backstops by the Federal Reserve and FDIC? To refresh your memory: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/10-ways-say-no-banks-have-not-paid-back-their-debt-taxpayer Where's the discount window for the taxpayers, eh? Who pays for the hit if all that agency debt and MBS on the Fed's balance sheet don't perform? The taxpayers.

The Bushmaster (Remington?) ACR is being released, but the pricing on it is stupid high: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2010/01/19/bushmaster-acr-launched/

I've done just that, had a friend buy "high capacity" magazines for me and shipped to his place in Florida. When I leave NJ I'll stop by and pick them up.

Not that I know of. However, there are some contemporary manufacturers that produce semi-auto's that can reliably function with "severe" amounts of dirt in their actions: http://www.theprepared.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=90

Just double checking, I've been wrong before. My glock has a serial number on the frame, slide and barrel.

It's not closer, but the Sunset Hill Range in Pennsylvania will let you rent/pay by the shot a large variety of handguns and long guns: http://sunsethill.slvrcreek.com/home.htm

Does NJ law consider the "firearm" to be just the receiver for a rifle and the frame for a pistol? If I want to take my pistol slide to a gunsmith for work, can I just carry it in my pocket if I leave the frame at home?

I agree the mandatory paypal payment sucks ass, but I still use ebay. Occasionally I'll sell something with the stipulation of local pickup/cash payment only. Ebay can't force you to use paypal for local pickup.

Still no ammo or communication on my order that's been paid via M.O. since 12/7. Went to the post office and filed an inquiry on the money order. If it comes back that he's cashed it then I'll file mail fraud charges.

Only here as long as my current job lasts. Undecided where I'm going as of yet, but the short list is PA, AZ, NM, CO, & OR.

Adco? http://www.adcofirearms.com/shopservices/shop_.cfm?code=5

Pros: Quick follow up shots, possible to shoot more than one shot one-handed (one of your arms is injured), no possibility of a jam from "short-stroking". Cons: Restrictions on magazine capacity and other features, low-powered ammunition may not cycle action completely.

Any of you guys who have packages actually "in transit", was 9mm part of your order?

That rail-mounted switch is sweet, but won't work on my light/laser. Thanks for the ideas, I'll go with 3M mounting tape. Innertube is a good idea for a foregrip but mine mounts on the body of the gun.
