FWIW, the story has gone around the Right blogosphere, and was on Instapundit, and Drudge report, if that hasn't been covered

http://www.ray-vin.com/tech/websling/webslinghelp.htm This shows how to use the GI web sling for prone/sitting. You don't really need the extra loop in there to begin with, its shown as 'correctly' installed. For off hand, I think you are referring to hasty sling, which can help steady the rifle a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gAso3l7UCU. HTH--Matt

Well, good that someone is talking with lawyers about this,especially the manufacturer. I would think someone who was required to turn their gun in would also be mad enough to consult a lawyer. Christie the Fat Slob has done worse than appoint a do-nothing AG, he appointed an AG that is politically opposite to a core group of supporters that put him in the Govs chair. Why, I don't know, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with Sheila Oliver being the Assembly Ldr and Dick Codey being ousted by Sweeney. Nothing in politics happens by accident, especially in NJ. Probably a tradeoff between Oliver, Sweeney and Tubbo Christie, so Chris Lardass could get some traction in the state legislature for his other smoke and mirros nonsense. In the end, Dow, like the others before her will not make a dent in, or even notice corruption in NJ. But will claim accomplishments such as tightening gun control by "re-interpreting" existing laws. To add to the tinfoil hattery---Perhaps the AG re-interpretations are trial balloons for the BATFE and other states to bypass the legislative process and courts, by having un-elected buerorats do the dirty work---

Ed, thats the one you got off the CMP auction? Looks great! I will have to get another one before they are all gone, maybe a racker project shooter. We should have an M1 practice session over the winter if there's warm enough day, and we can all get the time The High Power clinic in April is a real good session with the usual crowd (John D, etc.) that runs the high power events at CJ all year. Its mostly AR shooters, last one there was probably 6-8 M1 shooters and 20 or so ARs, a few M1A and one with a mini-14.

Well a few folks showed up, Shane45, TJ, lunker and circlesqr was minding the store. I brought more than usual, I have had few opportunities to get out, so I brought 4 guns and ammo for them, to maximize lead throwing. May try & make it before the end of the year again, with fewer toys so I can socialize more

What a shock, NOT! He is right in that there's no point in trying to ram through changes until the NJ legislature becomes more gun-friendly (highly unlikely, ever). So any changes will have to come about thru the courts. The DADT repeal and Gay Marriage advocates realized this some time ago, and although their positions are not supported by majorities of voters, they have still managed to make headway thru the courts. Politicians will never stick their necks out too far unless/until they have a sure winner. And I WISH the NJ AWB had a sunset date, but that's not the case, AFAIK.

I havent been to BA since March or so, wil be there sometime around 2000 or so, if anyone else is going--

Have they all been shipped, Shane?

CJRPC has a rimfire league and pistol league. Not sure what the season length is, as someone else mentioned there's the Jr. League going on now, at the indoor on Thu nites. The pistol league was on Thur nites also, at the outdoor. Strictly bullseye shooting. There may be skeet/trapleagues also,ceck the website & contact the folks that run the events.

I have a 686+ with a 4" barrel, love it, even if its a PITA to clean.

You forget the BOMARC explosion in 1960 at the site off 539 in Plumsted. That STILL isn't all cleaned up, there was plutonium washed into the soil. Don't have a link handy. Also the Nike explosion in Middletown in 1956 or so, 8 were killed, there is a marker that was moved to Sandy hook years ago. NJ & you & military accidents, perfect together

Semper Fi! So who is the oldest & youngest Marines on the forum?

+10^23, maks. I got sick of the BS and sold the company I had for 9 years, and had started from NOTHING, but my credit cards, and willingness to sacrifice my time (nights, weekends, holidays, no savings, no retirement, no support or fallback, and no financial stability, didnt know if or when I would get paid, etc.). Try starting and running a business, as many on this forum do and are running now. I would bet the two sponsors of this bill have had long 'careers' as 'community organizers' before getting into the legislature, have never even been a private sector employee

Big traffic jam (for there) at E. Colliers Mills rd. this am, there were at least 30 trucks or so in and around the field, did anyone get boids from there?

Ha! When I was at RAF Woodbridge, so long ago, two of the guys that I worked swingshift with as an ECM troop in the 91st AMU popped off about 30 rounds of chaff. THEY shoulda known better, they had to pull the pins in the wheelwells to get the steppers to fire! Nothing came of it we cleaned it up and went about our business. A few weeks later some schmoes I used to work with at Bentwaters fired a half dozen flares! Luckily there was only minor paint scratches to the aircraft, but someone there told me the damn things bounced off the ground like softballs. The weapons people fired off 30mm rounds a few times, and there was one time a cluster bomb was dropped off a trailer and broke open and all the little baby bombs spilled out. Fortunately none of that kind of stuff happened when I worked on B52s, but I did hear of people wigging out when working on aircraft that had nukes loaded. My guess is that this is a secret launch of something, maybe by NRO or BMDO (or whatever its called these days) that is not directly connected with the military, so they can say I dunno what it is, man! Also, note that the ash cloud from the Indonesian volcano will probably be making its way around the globe soon, maybe this has something to do with it??

I doubt that will be the outcome of this bill anymore than OGAM reduced the number of guns on the street. This is the NJ legislature we are talking about here and the two sponsors are both dems. Not seeing the causality between no credit checks and more hiring, unless it means higher turnover and more 'hiring' due to not being able to find the deadbeats out first, and having to can them & replace them when their issues show up.

If you are applying for a job that requires a security clearance, it is. Having bad credit may not result in denial of a clearance, but it will prolong the investigation, and the applicant may end up losing the job if someone with a cleaner past comes along. All other things being equal, if someone applied to me with poor credit and another with good, I would most certainly choose the person with the better credit rating. Don't like it? You run a business and have to deal with deadbeat employees asking for pay advances and the creditors calling you because they have stopped paying the mortgage on a crack den they bought as an "investment'. Everyone I know that has a poor credit rating has such for one of 2 reasons; spending too much for crap they did not need, buying expensive cars, and bling to put in their ARM-mortgaged Mcmansions, running up credit card bills to the max & sky high (90% of them) or catastrophic illness/injury & long unemployment attendant to that (10%).

Dey put dat many boids in Colliers Mills??? Where they all go? the coyotes get them??

Will it be called the Sig76239?

OK, where'd you get the parts from?

Has anyone had the Short reset Trigger (SRT) done to their Sig at all? I am not talking about the shortened trigger replacement part. I know some of the Sig models come out of the factory with SRTs, wondering if anyone had the SRT done, if by Sig or someone else.

We had pet squirrels at Keesler AFB in the early 80s. They would crawl all over you checking out pockets for peanuts, it was best to have some if you sat near their tree. Now my dog chases them, and can never catch them, they are too smart

I'll third the RIA/Armscor, I will be changing the sights on my GI over the winter, getting rid of the biggest gripe, those teeny weeny sights! Will probably buy them & ship to Armscor on NV for that and a fluff & buff

Dont forget about (recoil) compensators as well, they are another alternative.
