Looking for 308 battle rifle recommendations
I won't lie, I really like the look of a PTR91 with wood furniture... I've often debated trading my FAL kit n caboodle for one.

Looking for 308 battle rifle recommendations
- 90 nations? Irrelevant. - My SCAR is far easier to detail strip and break down than my FAL - Off the bench, the SCAR is a bit more accurate than the FAL, but marginally so - FALs going "strong"? I guess. Even the best made guns wear out though. - Full auto is irrelevant to our discussion, but the SCAR wins there from most reviews I've seen - Magazine, points to the SCAR, I can buy them far more easily than proper FAL mags - Semi-auto recoil... SCAR wins marginally... but that also may be due to the PWS brakes. - Ergos... SCAR wins. FAL is best of the "old school" though Where the SCAR leaves the FAL in the dust: - Modularity, plenty of integrated rail space and the ability to swap components with ease. Including removal of the barrel. - Better trigger... I had to upgrade my FAL to an Eagle Arms trigger to make it worthwhile, even then, it pales to my SCAR with a Giessele - Lighter weight... ounces = pounds, pounds = pain. - Ambi push bottom mag release. The FAL latch is problematic, especially with out-of-spec mags. Honestly, the biggest issues with the FAL is that it's pretty much no longer supported. Magazines aren't easy to come by anymore, and few people make new accessories for it. DS Arms is pretty much your best bet for most FAL related items. The biggest thing you forget is this: FNH built the FAL (the best 308 BR at the time), they also built the SCAR. I reckon they know what they're doing in this department. Don't get me wrong, but the SCAR is a superior platform ergo wise, weight wise, and simplicity. If you're gonna lay out the cash for a .308 "battle rifle", it's the best money can buy. I love them both though, but push comes to shove, I'd sell the FAL before I sell the SCAR.

I have a SCAR-H and a FAL, the SCAR pretty much shits all over the FAL in every department... only reason anyone would buy a FAL these days is because they can't afford the SCAR. NJ Legal SCAR-H Album FN FAL

Federal Interstate Handgun Sales Ban Ruled Unconstitutional
I would've walked away and come back and spoken to someone else. Clearly you dealt with an idiot. Also, maybe Cabelas changed their policy recently?

Interesting. I assume this applies to online stores selling magazines (30 rounders)?

Wait, I've heard Cabelas say they will transfer you a non-compliant model because it's illegal to possess it in NJ, but not in PA. At least with long guns.

It's okay. Exciting time though

Federal Interstate Handgun Sales Ban Ruled Unconstitutional
Interesting. I wonder why they have to do that? Is it just for the SBI#? Because where on the background check/4477 do they need that? Maybe an FFL can chime in here. Part of my thinks its a CYA thing, kinda like how out of state retailers won't sell std. cap mags to NJ residents.

Duh, we know. We're discussing the what ifs if it did.

I don't think it matters, PA has no reporting requirements to NJ. They literally have no system to do so.

Why would a P2P be required? PA doesn't even use NJ FID cards when doing a transfer IIRC, just your DL number and SS. P2P is required for in-state only if I read the law correctly.

* If this is in place, does it mean NJ residents can bypass the NJ Pistol Permit process? Except for purchases through Bud's and Gunbroker? * If applied nationwide, does it invalidate NJ's OGAM law?

Glock 17 vs. Sig P320... a small review and comparison.
Quick update: Playing with snap caps, I'm noticing the trigger pull is much less with a round in the chamber than it is with an empty chamber. Not much less, but it feels less.

Well, if anyone in Morris county area wants to give it a shot, let me know.

Glock 17 vs. Sig P320... a small review and comparison.
Recently picked up a Sig P320 after all the reviews I've read about it and general positive feedback. It falls into the 3rd Generation of Striker fired pistols (1st Gen: Glock, H&K P7, / 2nd Gen: M&P/XD, Ruger SR9,etc. / 3rd Gen: H&K VP9, Sig P320, Walther PPQ), so it's interesting to see how much and how little has changed. Assorted musings: 1. Sig P320 pretty much retains the classic Sig ergonomics with their pistol grip. It's very comfortable in the hand, and makes the gun easy to point. I can close my eyes, bring the gun up to shoot, and open them, and they'll be lined up. When I do the same for the Glock, it always tends to have the muzzle pointed upwards. 2. It's a big gun. More "beefy" than the Glock 17. Not that it matters in the full size configurations. Despite this, the grip was perfectly sized for my hands. Unless you have bear paws or the tiniest hands in the world, the medium grip would seem to do well for all folks. 3. Conversely, for my Glock 17 to fit "right", I needed a Hogue grip sleeve to fatten it up. 4. P320 comes with night sights... that's a pretty awesome deal for what is usually a common upgrade. They're just as good as the Glock 17's Trijicons. 5. Unfortunately, the 320 is only a year old, so holster options and magazines are decidedly lacking out there. 6. The 320 seems to be built to have a light mounted on it. My TLR-1 fits like a glove on it and really helps the balance of the pistol. 7. I owned the Glock 17 for about 6 years now... I shoot it the most, and even then, I find it to be very unforgiving as a shooter. Rapid fire, I tend to do well, but slow-fire, I really suck at it. Anything beyond 10 yards, and I might as well shoot 00 buckshot with a wide open choke. 8. The 320 trigger is pretty awesome. A bit heavy, but better than the Glocks. One huge benefit: NO STUPID BLADE SAFETY. I like that Sig has progressed beyond the dumbest safety feature ever on a striker handgun. You can add one as an option though, but I doubt people will. 9. Comparison to VP9, APEX M&P, etc.? Lend me them and I'll try... lol 10. Honestly, both guns are more accurate than I am. Photos: IMGUR Album Any questions?

Will we see a rise in ND's ?
Agreed. Glock's entry to the CCW market is decidedly lacking. Ruger's been leading that pack for years. But Glock gets serious volume through its PD sales.

Gun Price request error
Sure. I input the information and get this error: At this link: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?app=form I'm using the most up to date version of Chrome as well. I'll try another browser like IE, ugh. Doesn't work for IE, same error pops up.

Red dot vs. 1-4 optic for carbine
Honestly, if I had to do it all again, I'd ditch the 1-6x optic for a fixed 4x optic. A fixed optic is much lighter and cheaper, and with practice, can be used within 100yd ranges.
