Happy birthday, Matt!

There's a few diff ways to do it http://nyshooters.net/forum/showthread.php?351-Permanently-pinning-a-collapsible-stock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9vRAAuFct4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9vRAAuFct4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLSmCug0cxI&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLSmCug0cxI&NR=1 This is where ADCO pinned mine: Some people like to put epoxy over the pin(s) to make it a little more "permanent"

Everyone has their own take on what's the best shotgun ammo for HD. The best you can do is gather as much info as you can and then make the decision that you think is right for you and pray you never have to find out if you chose correctly. For me, the choice I made is Federal LE Tactical 2 3/4" low recoil 00 buck (with the FlightControl wad). http://le.atk.com/pdf/Shotshell_Data_Book.pdf

It works - http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-75-b/ ETA: Since I haven't caught the smart phone bug, I used an online reader to decode it. I'm sure it'll work with a smart phone, but didn't test that. Just an FYI.

I use the Spyderco sharpener too. I usually keep one of these handy for quick and dirty sharpening: http://www.sterlingsharpener.com/ Won't make anything razor sharp, but in a pinch, it works. I've read some good things about the Edge Pro Apex: http://edgeproinc204.corecommerce.com/Apex-Model-Edge-Pro-System-c3/ I don't sharpen knives that often, so I've never been able to justify the cost.

Remington used to have one if I remember correctly... I think it was made by Baikal for Remington. That's the only one I can think of other than the Stoeger. But there must be more just for the guys that do Cowboy Action Shooting.

Call the NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit - http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/divorg/invest/firearms-invest-unit.html They should be able to give you some guidance and might even call your PD.

No experience with them, but I did look into the targets a while ago. My one piece of advice, if you do decide to buy one, is to NOT get it directly from actiontargets - they charge almost double the shipping of any of the other places I found that carry the Evil Roy targets. Anyway, that said, seems like a good product at a reasonable price.

+1 The action on SxS or O/U is quite a bit shorter than the action/receiver of a pump or semi-auto.. so a 20" barreled SxS is probably gonna be the same size (if not a bit shorter) than your typical 18.5" pump shotgun.

At Bayonne? What problem did you have with them? I've only been there a handful of times but never had any issues. Yes, some of the guys that work there are grumpy old dudes.. but that's pretty much par for the course with NJ ranges and gun shops... Maybe I just got lucky cuz I was always with Ray

I've never been to Ramsey, so not sure if they'll do the work to make it compliant. From what I remember reading of them, they seem to be somewhat on the pricey side. When I bought my DD (2+ years ago), I bought it from Adco: http://www.adcofirearms.com/acc/productLine_.cfm?brand=Daniel%20Defense&product_category=Complete%20Firearms They did all the NJ compliance work and sent it my local FFL for the transfer. Doesn't look like they list the DD M4v5. Might be worth emailing them to see if they can get one. If they do have it, and their price is within your budget, then it's almost one stop shopping - you'll just have to coordinate with a local FFL for the transfer. A second option would be to talk to PK90/Arms-N-Ammo - he can probably order one for you and do all the compliance work as well. It'll be a bit of a drive for you, but probably worth it. Good luck and excellent choice on an AR. Edited to add: This will give you a rough idea on price to make it compliant http://www.adcofirearms.com/shopservices/shop_.cfm?code=5 (I don't think the v5 has a bayonut lug, so it might be a few bux cheaper than the "package" price)

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better quality 18" SS upper for less than what BCM charges. That BCM would make a nice SPR-style build.

Fixed it for you

I feel like I should know this, but who's Ira?

It would be great if it's true - I'm also about 15 minutes away from WP and we definitely need more indoor range options up this way

Indeed it is

How crowded does this place usually get?

I didn't even know drive ins still existed It's about an hour away from me, but might be worth the trip just for the experience. Thanks for the heads up Ken

I think if you select the "A2 Flash Hider (NFA Rules apply)" option, they'll send it without pinning it and then you can have PK90 perm attach the comp of your choice. Just a guess since that option doesn't say anything about a permanent install. Not sure if going this option means it has to be shipped directly to an FFL.

I can only speak for myself, but, no matter how many times I've tried using a two point, I just can't get past the feeling that I'm about to choke myself when trying to switch shoulders. Admittedly, I may switch shoulders more than many people do, simply because I'm cross dominant and have gotten to the point where I will use whatever shoulder affords me a particular advantage at the time... so for me, the ability to quickly switch shoulders is important enough that I will put up with a certain amount of knee and/or nut banging. I do try to move the weapon off to the side to avoid the banging, but, I'd be lying if I said I always succeeded. And while we're on the subject, I'll just throw in a couple opinions on the MS2. As a single point it's great. As a two point, it's mediocre. IMHO, the two point feature on the MS2 is mostly there to allow easier "administrative duties"... in my case, that generally means I'm standing around waiting for my turn to step up to the line. When I get to the line, I'll switch back to single point mode.

Thanks for the update Mark - good to know that they at least have the capability of doing it in house (under the right circumstances )
