The y would have to hold one party 'hearings' because the illegality of F&F would come up otherwise. I would be worried if they bring out Rep. Giffords and she would be suddenly very anti-gun. I have no idea if she is/is not or has changed her mind at all or what. Just saying she would be a tough poster child for pro 2A congress critters to downplay if she comes up on the aniti side.

Thanks! That is a 100yd target, I was pretty happy with the last 10. Its about what I do with my M1 with milsurp ammo. I do use a punch & hammer, but _very_ gently I probably won't mess with it for a few weeks, even then I may just leave it till the winter tear-down

So I ordered the TS200 for my Yugo SKS a few weeks back. Installation was simple, I managed to grab onto the receiver cover latch retaining pin with vise grips & got it out enough that I was able to drive it out all the way with a punch. So I managed to save the latch and pin if I ever decide to go back. Instructions were clear and easy to follow to mount and snug up the sight itself. It does stick out a bit, but wasn't a problem in actual use. The original rear sight removal was a minor annoyance, the instructions had a method that would probably work, but I ended up using a plastic rod & pushing on it & sliding it back and out. Another original part saved! Finally got to CJ last nite to sight it in. I brought it close at 50, and then used an SR1 target at 100 yd at GP range. First 5 were in the upper right , then corrected for elevation, 2nd 5 were off to the right & a flyer, then corrected windage & last 10 were all in or near black. Was using cheap Ulyanovsk whitebox ammo, a cheap NCStar sling, prone. Much easier to use than the original leaf type rears, the sight picture is a vast improvement. My front sight post was run almost all the way right with the old sight, so my rear ended up being adjusted about 3/4 of the way to the left. I didn't have my front sight windage tools (hammer & punch) with me, maybe I will re-center that at some point & redo it. The post itself is fine, I don't see a need personally to change it for the skinny one. Adjustment of the TS200 was a little work, you can't use a 7.62x39 bullet tip to move the adjusters. But I did have .223 with me for the SU-16 I was shooting also, and was able to use the cartridges as adjusting tools. I will have to shoot sitting & standing to see how the sight picture holds up, but so far I like it much better than the originals.

The Ordnance training stuff is all moved to Ft. Lee, VA, IIRC. Proving gnd and ATEC are there, and RDECOM HQ. And of course all the stuff from the shortly to be closed Ft. Monmouth, CECOM, etc. Most bigger Army bases have large simulators & virtual reality facilities for training infantry & armor crews. There's plenty of old ripped up hulks at Ft. Dix used for target practice on some ranges there (not Rg.14)

The museum is open to the public, which is where most of that stuff is, You have to go to the main gate & get some sort of visitor pass, probably. I am there a couple times a week sometimes & still haven't had time to get in there & look. I pass by the big field where all that stuff is on my way in & out to my bldg. They have new stuff coming in there all the time. Recently was two or 3 M4 Shermans with new-lookng paint jobs.

Who you calling a Christie fan, Willis? The only way the situation is gonna change is to get rid of the same old pols, that keep getting voted back in again and again, by unions or annoyed taxpayers, take your pick. Why'd the biggest unions go all in for McLyncheevey and Corcrosszine? How's the PBA/FOP/CWA/NJEA honchos making out with yer union dues, fellas? Are they worried about their pensions or healthcare? Is that Champion of Unions, Ironworker Sweeney ( a subsidiary of Norcross, Inc.) Or J Fletcher Creamer? Hovnanian? Stavola? Carla Katz? Agree that the root cause in NJ at least was the diversion of pension monies. Once the pols saw they could get away with it, it was off to the races. When NJ ran a surplus, it should have gone in to make up for previous deferred contributions. But how would that benefit the Party Bosses? Better for them to have the money to steal and hand out to their cronies. Ye'll get no disagreement from me that you all are getting the rug pulled out from under ya, if you have any constructive suggestions on how to un-a** the oinkers from the statehouse, that is legal, and morally defensible, I am all ears. Sorry it's your turn in the barrel, but my brother has been under/unemployed for going on 3 years now, and I have a 2 hr commute one way to keep my health insurance I need. IMHO the 'reform' is 99.999% horse pooh to make Lardass & Brown-nose look like they are 'doing something'. Feh.

Just skimmed thru the Paula Dow reply, seems to be almost entirely relying on Christie's Exec order (Thanks, Fatty!) as the opposition and the statement of LT Schlueter. Not being a LEO, what sensitive investigative techniques or procedures would disclosure possibly compromise? Isn't the 'investigation' of a firearms applicant supposed to be straightforward? Does the NJSP have access to some secret database that places like OPM (grants security clearances) does not? IIRC OPM requests the same from applicants home state. I would think that other than a national/state computer records check, possibly a local as well, prints, and receipt of the silly arsed referenced letters in the positive should do it. At least as far as the laws are currently written, the whole thing should be thrown out. Must it be such a big deal?

WIth gov agencies, I would normally choose incompetence over malfeasance, but I have had no dealings with the ATF. IIRC, at least two years ago, there was nat'l news coverage of a Phoenix gun shop that was busted for straw purchases. I don't recall that there was any connection to Mex gangsters at that time. But it would not surprise me if a small puff of smoke (straw purchases that actually were done for Mexican gangs) was blown wayyy out of proportion by certain parties to advance an agenda. Certainly have seen a lot of that sorta stuff over the years.

That's great! I think OCC/Brookdale, etc. are a better way to start off higher ed. You can transfer and go on, or learn something useful, and start yer own business (or go to work in the familiy's ) only 13 years to go before my daughter Samantha graduates HS!

Not to threadjack Chris, but I am gonna try & go during the week, next week. Summer weekends are too jammed up with stuff there and at home. There's also a CMP match Sunday, so the HP range is occupied. And its father's day of course-- Wed? Thu? I would do GP range to zero in Tec-sites on the SKS, these are the days when the ranges are open to 8:30PM-ish

Cable Modem is to CV as telephone handset was to AT&T. What about the CO in NE? No FIOS there yet?

Prob'ly his Community Service part of his sentence. He wants to get back into Pro Football, so he will dance to whatever tune 'they' say. No one will really listen to him of course, and his half-arsed efforts will do nothing to stop illegal firearm use.

Do you have a permit for that nuke?

Bit snarky of the blogger, but the guy WAS in the bathroom, maybe TCB while home getting a replacement gun? The article mentions the SD calling it an 'accidental' discharge . There is also mention of an HK .45, but not clear if it was the ND firearm. http://thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/06/daniel-zimmerman/irresponsible-gun-owner-of-the-day-detective-bret-starnes/ I recently had convo with a person who was of the opinion that only LEO and military should have firearms. Pointed out that they often spouted off about how cops & the military are a bunch of moronic goons and trash, so why you want to limit guns to them? Subject changed rather quickly. 23 y/o grad students are soo silly

You can also use .32SW Long in them. They have been around awhile on the milsurp market. Not much of a collector community, as I recall, so the prices are still low ($75-100). Mine is a 41 Tula, has personal value, the bore is beat up & pitted, but I still shot it once in awhile. I have had the Prvi ammo, overall the loads are pretty light. Fiocchi makes it too, but I have never seen any under $20-25 a box. Worth grabbing if you are looking to complement a Mosin of some era.

Your bags will be checked thru to SEA most likely. Of course make sure you pack up and lock the firearms AW whatever the law is. Idon't know the details other than they have to be locked and checked

I would like to see the Repeal Of the Patriot Act bill, as promised by then candidate Obama in 2008.

Yeah, this was up on the SKS forums awhile back---right after I loaded upon cheap Uly It's not terribly corosive at all, from what some folks say--

Why the frk are these idiots in charge of anything? Is she a necro, jonesing for the Crypt Keeper?

Meh. It's happened before in Newark and elsewhere, it will happen again. Remember Chicago had a spate of weekend shootings not too long ago? Camden? Hot or cold, drunk or sober, cops or no cops, black bikers, white bikers, teenagers, Spring breakers, whatever. These things happen, in this country.

Shabbos?

Maks, what competition was this that jon was shooting at? Oh, an to the OP--go to Paul if you want a clone of the evil rifles. You really don't want an SKS with detachable mags anyway, legalities aside, you need special mags and/or an adaptor, addig to the complexity of a very simple and reliable design

Try talking to the parents first, they may not be aware of it, and might be as appalled as you are.
