Interesting observation I read elsewhere:

I'm currently running an i5-7400 and GTX 1060. What's a "sweet spot" upgrade for CPU and GPU right now? I'm not a hard core gamer, but I would like to get my rig to the point where I can try out VR stuff if I get a VR setup.

Long thread on ARFCOM on the Sionyx. Towards the end there's details on how to run a mono or bino setup helmet mounted: https://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=18&t=491313&tl=Sionyx-digital-color-night-vision-camera-legit-alternative-to-a-PVS-14-

No pistol grip on his rifle. He gets to have two evil features - removable magazine, and threaded barrel. NJ Legal.

My recommendation if you're uncertain - unscrew the flash suppressor, screw on a muzzle brake. Don't pin or weld. Now you have "only" a threaded barrel.

Try the flowchart - it needs to be updated to reflect that the round limit went down from 15 to 10, but otherwise I think it's still accurate:

Yes, legal to buy online and ship to your home/work. Be aware that if your work isn't "firearm friendly" that some shippers just slap an adhesive label on a case of ammunition and ship it, so it's very obvious that it's ammunition when it arrives. There is a law in NJ that it's illegal for you as a buyer to received "handgun" ammunition without having a valid FID, but there's no law requiring an out-of-state retailer to check for your FID before shipping. Many will ask for your FID anyway.

What is the NJ statute violation you think you’d be charged with?

Simple - you acquired the pistol legally in another state. You transported it legally to NJ and now possess it legally in NJ. The fact that it “magically” transformed into a regulated firearm when you crossed the NJ border doesn’t change anything.

Neither a FID or an executed pistol purchase permit are required to legally possess a pistol in NJ.

Marty, I'm fairly close to you and can help. Sending you a PM.

You need to find out if your municipality has a "No Firearm Discharge" law or not. If the state police won't answer you, try a google search for ecode360 + [your municipality name]. If firearms discharge is not outlawed by municipal code, then you should be good to go to shoot on your property. You must be One Thousand Percent certain that you have an adequate backstop for wherever you shoot and traffic control for your property; any stray round that makes it off your property, or hits someone who wanders onto your property can put you in jail very quickly. Before you start shooting for the first time it's likely a good idea to notify your neighbors in advance.

I'm doing my first pistol purchase permits on FARS. Submitted in mid-September. Last status update was "Criminal History Check completed" in late September. Nothing since then. Am I waiting on NJSP or my local PD at this point?

I was stunned too. Neversawthatbefoah. Back on the road as of last night. CEL is on, so there's at least one code set. Have a bluetooth OBD reader on order.

In said hypothetical situation I'd turn around and go back to the FFL and leave the mags with them.

I gave in and contacted a mobile mechanic. He found the issue in about 10 minutes. Alternator is FROZEN SOLID. Starter/Engine had to fight against an immobile alternator pulley. Loosened the alternator and it started right up. Alternator replacement in progress.

Yeah, it’s getting close to that point

BTW, no Check Engine Light, was watching for that in case I missed re-connecting something electrical.

It sat roughly June to October. Fuel gauge showing 3/4 full. Intake manifold should be solid to the block, Throttle body should be solid to the intake mani, but will double check. Will try disconnecting the airbox hose from the throttle body and maybe try some starting fluid.

Thanks, but don't think that's it. I believe there's a small transponder chip in the key, but no battery. I get a couple of pops while cranking that I think are cylinders firing, but not enough to keep the engine going.

Thanks Brisco. Unfortunately no go - cranks now, but won't start.

The deity of rust and stripped threads smiled upon me - I was able to run a 12 x 1.25 tap back through the hole and restore enough threads for the original bolt (with last ~5mm of threads dremeled off) to thread into it. Installed the starter, added a bunch of blue loctite to the bolt threads and gingerly hand torqued it down. Should be able to finish reassembly of everything I had to take loose (intake manifold, throttle body, coolant lines, radiator brackets, radiator frame, lower plastic skirts) and give it a test start tonight.

So 1 step forward, 1 step back. Starter is out, however the lower starter bolt had galled threads at the tip - took a ton of effort to get out and I'm guessing it tore up the threads in the block on its way out. Can't find a replacement bolt anywhere nearby. May try cutting the bunged up threads off the bolt with a dremel, but I still want to find a tap to hopefully salvage the threads inside the block and can't find any store with right size tap (I think it's M12 x 1.25, need to verify) in stock either. Looks like I'll be ordering a bolt and tap online and waiting a few days.

Put them up for free on Facebook marketplace. Will probably be gone same day. Used bikes were a hot item this summer. I don't know if bikes are getting restocked, but COVID put a run on bikes and most box stores (walmart etc.) were sold out this summer and used bikes were selling for money. https://www.newjerseynewsnetwork.com/story/42226668/bicycle-sales-soar-amid-pandemic
