Technically, isn't it a shroud if it goes over the barrel? At best, it's a barrel extension for the pistol.

Then how is the KRISS okay?

Ugh, these people are such creeps.

He talks the talk and walks the walk. He fights for all our freedoms. Can't ask for more than that.

I disagree with you and think your opinion on this matter is stupid. Adam Kokesh is fighting for our freedoms. The same freedoms that the Federal Government wishes to oppress.

Agreed. As folks get older, racking that slide becomes much more difficult to do. Beretta used to sell a handgun where you could load a bullet into a hinged barrel, and then it would operate as a normal semi-auto. This got around needing to rack it. IMO, a revolver is easier.

Negative: the "action" is typically described as the mechanism which initiates the primer... aka, the bolt, firing pin, and hammer assembly. There is also prior precedent with respect to the FS2000 and MSAR/AUG clones...

So... what about that plan to get a few thousand NJ gun owners to apply for CCW to bring that 99% down?

"Ahhh man, you guys actually ask for permission to carry a gun on you? Shit, I just do it anyways" -- Some gangbanger in Newark/Trenton/Camden/etc.

Its actually quite complex, and a combination of the local media, the unions, and yes: ward bosses. A lot of the local media, the Star Ledger being the best example, are decidedly left leaning. The local NYC and Philly media also lean left, so only one message tends to get out to the people. There is very little competition here, and the lack of local television coverage until recently (News12) meant you had little NJ-relevant news. The unions are also critical to supporting the status quo. Teachers unions are the worst, not only due to the financial obligations afforded to them, but the impact they have on young minds. These people start filling your kids heads with bullshit at a young age. They toe the party line and aren't ashamed of it. Police unions are... a double edged sword. They usually whore out for whoever is giving them the most money and bennies. Typically Democrats. Unions in general can get a lot of support via kickbacks by forcing certain labor to be union only, or even getting "prevailing" wage (whatever that garbage is). Then they get paid back with cushy projects that we don't need just to keep them employed. Ward bosses still do exist, primarily in the inner cities and certain ethnic communities. This is incredibly true with black voters who are typically very low information voters (but no exception to the overall rule). They typically fear loss of benefits, and only vote Democrat. But they are also easily mobilized and guaranteed votes. Give them a bus and a hot meal, and you just won an entire district. This, coupled with gerrymandering creates a vicious cycle which allows them to maintain a great deal of control. Like national presidential elections, the NJ district system is mathematically designed to be pro-Democrat. There is literally no possible way for the GOP to ever take a majority in the assembly or senate. NONE! Not unless there is a huge demographic shift which sees certain areas losing voters.

Christie's election supports the fact that in order for a GOP or any Democrat opposition to win, they need overwhelming turnout and votes to do it. Corzine was on the ropes in 2009 because of his idiocy, and still did well in the polls up until the end when the wheels fell off for him. If he even ran a half-decent campaign, he would've been losing billions of NJ Taxpayer money instead of losing billions for MF Global... Change is tough when your base of support is diluted. This is why gerrymandering is so insidious to the democratic process. I would wager NJ has a great deal of gun owners across the state, but because they're diluted over many districts, their voting parity is simply too reduced to make a difference. This is why I hate the current districting system in NJ. I would do it by county only. Give each county 2 senators, and apportion representatives by population. Right now we have 40 legislative districts which cross county lines and get 1 senator and 2 representatives each. I would rather have 42 Senators (2 per each county) and 1-to-whatever representatives based on population. Anyways, no chance in hell of that happening.

I don't buy this. New Jersey is in a stranglehold by the urban Democratic machine that runs this state. This machine, which is presumably operated by Boss Norcross leverages its political clout to entrench its position through redistricting schemes and kickbacks to areas which yield them more votes. Years and years of this cycle has left the opposition quite powerless. Evidence of this exists with the election of Chris Christie, a relatively modest candidate (at the time) going up against a disgraced Corzine... and he still had great difficulty winning!

He was an enemy of the State who worked tirelessly to usurp our freedoms and to make criminals of us all. By his actions, it appears he loathed our freedoms and liberties, and betrayed the very notions upon which this nation was founded. I will not pay him any respects because he is a man most undeserving of them.

With respect to changing oil, its simply an economic decision. I've worked it out, and given the cost of the oil, the filter, and the time involved, its still cheaper to take my car to a Jiffy Lube or some other place to get the oil changed. Even if the material cost is even, the time cost is not. The 1-2 hours spent changing the oil is 1-2 hours I could have spent productively elsewhere. Not to mention the cost and time of disposing it properly. Same is true with most projects. Americans aren't lazy, they just value their time more. Who wants to spend hours over a weekend scrubbing bathrooms and cleaning the kitchen when you can pay a cleaning crew $100 to get it done in an hour? That's time you could've spent relaxing with your family, working on your golf swing, going to the shooting range.

Real men are around, we just keep to ourselves. We're not on TV, driving flashy cars, etc. We're just doing our thing.

Yepp! This despite the fact they actually printed the zero-ing instructions on the side of the thing.

Yeah, that's what I heard of as well. I'll probably reverse the mount, or just invest in a better charging handle. Stryker industried makes the EACH which is supposed to be a real good upgrade.

Oh wow, very good write-up and in line with what I read across the interwebs. I ended up going with the SWFA SS 1-6X HD, it was definitely a bit cheaper than the Elcan 1-4x, and weight is comparable even with the Bobro mount. I like the ability to go to 6X though, and the reticle has gotten great reviews with the donut for CQB and the mil-dot for 6x. FOV may be something to desire, but like you said, you're shooting both eyes open at 1x anyways. At 6x, its tough to compare to 4x... but if you're shooting a .308, you want the eyes to see out far enough. All in all, I'm looking forward to trying out the SWFA. Also, the amount I spent on it allowed me to take my savings and put them towards a SUPER SCAR trigger and an SSA trigger for my primary AR-15. I have enough extra for more SCAR17 mags too. All of which are important to run this system. Worst comes to worse, I'll buy a SpecterDR in the future. But from what I've heard from reviews, SWFAs are excellent optics with good quality, warranty, and CS and the 1-6X seems to meet my needs on paper. We'll see how it works in practice.

Oh boy, all the way down in Camden County eh? So... what are your thoughts on the 1-4x? What do you use it on?

How long ago was this? I heard they had issues in the first generation, but have since ironed them out. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

What are your thoughts on them? I'm looking at both these optics and would like to get a hands on feel for them. Don't really need to shoot with them, just want to handle them. But shooting with them would be an added bonus... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Fake?

Will do!

Is it really that pricey? I wasn't looking so spend more than $100...

Got one from Buds awhile back to satisfy my "leave no pistol permit unused" belief... it's pretty beat up from years of holster use, while the barrel is in decent shape. I was thinking of taking off the chipped wood grips, throwing Hogues on it, and cerakoting it into a new color. How much would this cost to do? Are there any places in NJ that can do this at a reasonable price? Thanks!
