I dunno, if I remember from the 1990s, "Made in the USA" was something to be shunned. Let's face it, we're done as a manufacturing nation. No tax credits will ever allow us to compete with cheap labor in the 3rd world.

Whatever, I calls it like I sees it. Guns are a responsibility, and if some LEO can't hack it and remember to follow 4 simple rules, as well as not knowing how to clear a firearm shows me that he was either: 1. Incompetent, or 2. A moron. But it's ok, he's a LEO, so it makes it all better. If this happened to some yahoo in his own home, we'd say the same thing: follow the rules, and show some damned safety and responsibility when handling a firearm.

What an IDIOT! Probably didn't even check to see if the chamber was cleared... ugh. 4 rules people, break more than one and you're dead.

Sigh... looks like I'm gonna be on the outside looking in. :cry:

I'm asking to see that in print, chapter and verse, from New Jersey law. Title 2C Chapter 39 is the part of the criminal code that pertains to Firearms. Section 6 of that chapter deals with who may possess and under what circumstances. When i get back from visiting my wife in the hospital, i'll dig my 2C book out of my road bag, and look it up for you for the specific wording, but it can be found, if you go to the "NJ Gun Laws" section ofthis site, and click on the "Sticky" for the NJ firearms statutes. Is she ok?

Yeah. I might just send it to ADCO when done.

When you finish building it, be sure to get the muzzle device permanently attached. As well as pinning any "collapsible" stock you put on. Amazingly enough, I did some work on my AR this weekend, took the whole thing apart as much as I could. I am preparing to do some work on the front end (remove/replace existing MB device and front sight) and am lining up the tools, parts and time to do it. I have a circular metal cutter and a dremel GTG. I have the punches for the FSB. I only need a drill press to pin the new MBD on (which isn't too hard after looking at the parts). Basically need the drill press to go through the new MBD (before assembling it), then I would just put it onto the barrel, drill a teeny bit into the threads (or use existing hole if it lines up), and pound in a new pin (preferably made of a malleable low-yield steel). Basically how most manufacturers do it. Measure down from the center of the existing hole 1"-1.5" and mark with a pencil a reference mark around the barrel, then draw a pencil line from the center of the hole (STRAIGHT, mind) down the barrel to the mark. install, and index your Muzzle Device. then using the reference mark, and center line, mark the spot on the indexed muzzle device where your existing hole should be. Remove muzzle device, and drill at the mark, that SHOULD, if you're careful, put you where you need to be. Believe it or not a short piece of decent (Not the white ones) Coat hanger wire is more than enough to function as a good pin. Set it in place, use a center punch to upset the wire metal then Mig or Tig fill the hole in. Clean up the surface, and finish in whichever finish you prefer, just leave a little blemish there to show the weld, That's the plan. Though, the weld may be overkill... my Stag-1 was shipped with a pinned-only muzzle brake, and it's pretty permanent. I just need a drill press and I am gtg with these changes.

Awesome! Thats what I was hoping to hear. It mounts well on most rails? Isnt hard to adjust or tighten? -Scott It has a rail adaptor thingy... basically a little plug, so you can mount on 1913, glock, and one other rail type. Takes a second to switch out, and you can take off/put on securely using fingers and then a quarter to tighten up.

DC is being sued *again* because they are not following the ruling. It will take a long time for all this crap to work it's way through the system. Short of throwing officials in jail for blatant violations, nothing is going to get better with out one heck of a fight. They are swine. Exactly. The state will fight tooth and nail to keep their stupid Gun Control Laws, even if (after a positive ruling in McD v. Chicago) they're in the wrong. I suggest you join ANJRPC. They actually fight for us here in NJ... NRA/GOA, not so much. I will join when I join Cherry Ridge.

I've got a TLR-1 on my G19... thing is solid and works well. Steamlight is pretty good when it comes to quality.

I'm asking to see that in print, chapter and verse, from New Jersey law. Umm, even in 'non-emergency' time, we're not allowed to carry on public property. Concealed or otherwise.

Hopefully the SCOTUS decides in favor of the second amendment. While NJ assult weapon law may not ban an entire class of weapons, the case could clearly be made that it is an entirely arbitrary list. The fact that I can buy a Colt Match Target and not a Colt AR-15, when the differences between the two are mainly cosmetic, helps make that point. The flip side is that gun banners will use that same argument to try to tighten the law. The big thing to look at here is how Heller v. DC affected their laws... if they still have capacity limits and bans on certain weapons because of name/designation, then you have your answer.

We're all from New Jersey. Let's not create shades of division... 8-)

You're probably right. If I saw that was the direction things were going I'd have one of the FFL's here pin a Magpul stock for me and just accept my lot in life. Hey man, don't give up. Change is always possible in this state. It won't be easy, but it's possible.

Guess we will see what SCOTUS says in March (or Juneish when they actually make the decision.) A man can dream can't he? lol I'm with ya... but in all honesty, an AWB like the one in NJ is going to be tough sell when debating its constitutionality. It doesn't effectively ban an entire class of weapons, and it's difficult to call it a rationing scheme. In fact, following McD v. Chicago, the only real change in NJ may be the Pistol Permit process and how our FIDs work.

I noticed that but have some friends who can weld. That's more of a long term thing I want to try when I have the time. I'm pretty sure I could get that "bottom" part of the sling attachment onto the mount that comes with the rifle length tube. Or I will just sit on it. I will wait for our AWB to be overturned (please please please!) and get a Magpul telescoping carbine stock, then use this thing. For what it cost I wasn't too worried though and figured I'd hold on to it and figure something out. In the mean time my C1 has the sling mount on it at the end, and the Magpul is still compatible with it. Just not all fancy like they show in their videos. Don't hold your breath.

We need a NJGF armband or something, so when we're out fighting zombies, we'll know which side we're on. Then we can organize and re-claim NJ bit by bit and make it our own nation.

2 weeks is the minimum. But in a zombie outbreak, 2 weeks vs. a month, you're going to have to get out into the world and scavenge. Eventually you run out.

Why go anywhere? Be sure to be stocked up on booze, bandages, beans, and bullets, and sit back and relax. After the zombies have settled in, you can begin focusing on long-term survival. Think about it, you know so much about the area you live in, it's your home field advantage. Why give that up right away?

Anyone who gives this serious thought agrees that a "fast threat" means you are pretty much 100% (*#@$#@ed and won't survive. You are right about traffic. I always figured hunker down till the initial wave of S passes then accept that we need to pick a place to go. Likely on foot. In small steps meaning you find a great place to hold up for the night 5 miles away from your starting point, well you do so. Better safe than dead. Fast zombies means you need to use a shotgun. One shot to knock em down or slow em down, and another to finish the job. Slow zombies means you can use your fancy tacticool AR-15 with RDS sighted to 25 yards and below. Go for headshots, go for them often. As for going anywhere... figure you'll be hunkering down for 2 weeks before moving. This will be enough time for future refugees to bug out or die, and enough time for ill-prepared homesteaders to be eaten. Also, 2 weeks should be long enough for the zombie hoard to follow the refugees to their FEMA camps to eat them. :twisted:

I think I've mentioned it here before... but for those of you with "safehouses" (either dedicated or family in another state) greater than walking distance away, you'll most likely make a yummy corpse to a zombie. You think traffic is bad on 78 or 80 westbound regularly, imagine what it would be like in a situation where millions want out of NJ. Think back roads are better? When have they ever been better in rush hour? So unless you're already at your SH before the SHTF, it's probably useless to you. For those of us who don't have SHs... where are you going to go when you bug out? A FEMA camp? As I mentioned before, with traffic and all, you won't get very far, so you're best bet is to keep ductape, plastic sheets, nails, hammer, and a bunch of 2x4s around. Oh, and enough food to last you about 2 weeks minimum. Hopefully by then, the situation will be resolved, or everyone will be dead enough where you can ransack your neighbors' homes and whats left of the local food marts. Depends on fast zombies or slow zombies.

Hmm, I'll give them a call. I'd really like a 16" 1x7 twist upper with mid length gas system. It's not offered on the site, but maybe they can put one together.
