DevsAdvocate

Not very helpful at all... it was a public hearing was it not? We need to know some of the case details here like: -What kind of stock/rifle? -Why was the person brought up on charges? -We're the firearms returned to the defendant? It would also be nice to get a ballpark estimate for how much the legal defense cost. :-/

This product confuses the hell out of me... apparently it was released and people are using it and reviewing it, but I can't find it in stock ANYWHERE! Wired Magazine Review: http://www.wired.com/reviews/2010/04/pr_joos_charger Vaporware or not? Also: does anyone here use any solar chargers? How do they work for you?

Coworker of mine overheard some talk at his local PD about a range opening up in West Paterson/Woodland Park. Sounds like it's in the preliminary stages of planning. Anyone hear anything about this?

Don't they teach these cops gun safety anymore? Geez. I swear, I think they have a higher accident rate than civilian gun owners.

Interesting... Yet another gun purchase that may need to be made.

I'm flush with XM193, I'd like to build up my stock of M855 now, but this deal comes at an inopportune time.

The mag that came with it seems a bit flukey. I'll use one of my WC mags when testing.

Bought it on Buds, got rid of the FLGR for a GI 1911 one and standard bushing. Got rid of the wood grips too and put some Pachmyrs. Thing fits like a love. For $500, it's looks pretty sweet. Hopefully it's as accurate as other RIA's I've seen/heard about. What it looked like:

Wait, we've had 2 such cases??? I know of one in Sussex County (?) but one in South Jersey?? Does anyone have information of this?

Interesting. Unfortunately, I cannot afford a UBR at this time.

How does one become a test case? If I put a Magpul UBR on my rifle, and don't shoot it in NJ or beat my SO, how will they ever know?

Not a big deal if you have a Dremmel, a steady hand, and a Birchwood Casey deep black pen. Or, just order one without a FSB similar to the model you posted in the OP.

BC1.5 and PWS are good to go... I love my BC1.5 though, it looks awesome. You can also have them ship it directly to your house. The Upper is not a 'weapon' as it doesn't have a serial number/trigger mechanism.

This is reasonable considering their business model. But if the purchaser wants, they can buy an upper with one of the selected brakes and it will ship in the next day or so. They do not pin brakes in batches, they do it on order.

Yep. Most are very high end. BC 1.5, PWS, etc.

If drugs were legal, there were no assault weapons ban, and we had Constitutional open carry and CCW, this guy would not be a criminal.

They will perm pin a brake on a 14.5" upper.

I have a BC 1.5 on mine. It works well in deflecting blast, and looks awesome. Check google for pics of it on other people's rifles.

He can buy a 14.5" AR-15 with 12" long handguards on it. I personally do not like the look (and prefer to have a standard FSB), but it's an option to try.

Sell the comp on the Marketplace here, and buy the BCM upper. They're pricey, but worth it... plus you know the saying: buy once, cry once. Make your first purchase count. FYI, an AR-15 carbine with a 14.5" midlength barrel will also be shorter than your 12ga (if it has a regular stock on it).

What do you intend to use it for? Hunting? HD? Competition? I only suggest the 14.5" because it's the smallest rifle you can legally get in this state, and the brake comes from BCM already permanently attached. It'll save you the headache later to get that done. Once you get it and handle it, you'll be in love.

Fragmentation is not the be all end all of the 5.56mm cartridge. While it's nice to have an energy transfer directly into a target, it's nothing without accurate shot placement. The other thing to consider here is you're average combat distance (Home Defense, suburban street fighting, etc.) is that almost 75% of it occurs below 150 yards. That being said: most US soldiers love their M4A1 carbines and would take them over the M16 any day. While the 5.56mm has limitations at range, it's ultimately not designed to be used in that capacity. That's where the 7.62 calibers come into play. So for most users... that 1.5" isn't really meaningful for a weapon designated as a carbine. The 14.5" long barrel is adequate for our soldiers, it will work out fine for your average civilian.

So you agree, you're not getting a meaningful increase then?

This only happens when shooting VERY cheap ammo with extreme variances in pressure (aka Poor QC). If you shoot commercial or milspec, you will be fine.
