Yea, I checked the K-VAR site and the closest I saw was a bulgarian sight block, but the pin spacing looks wider than the one on my gun. They show the pins .75 apart and my current is approx .490 apart. I put a caliper on my barrel and it's about .575 and the sight block is .590. Do you think this will work? http://www.k-var.com...&cat=290&page=1

Not yet - I'm going to shoot it and see how far the sight is off. I want to zero at 50 yds. If it shoots low, I can file it down and I'll be OK. I can move the windage drum. I've been shooting it with a red dot, but I want to go back to irons. If this doesn't work, I thought about dremeling the sight post out, The windage drum will most likely get ruined and I'll need to replace it. Junkmated suggested replacing the entire sight assy, but I haven't found a sight assy in stock. If I replace the windage drum, it needs to be a perfect fit. If you have any idea's, let me know. Thanks

Got mine today -sweet!! Thanks everyone

I don't think it's necessary to carry paperwork. It's a permit to purchase, not own. If you legally purchased a gun in a state that doesn't require paperwork, you won't have any to show. As long as you're not doing anything illegal, (and I don't mean traffic violation), and not restricted under NJ law not to own a firearm, you should be OK. Even if a check was done on the pistol, it will show up as you being the owner. I think people get to uptight about carrying paperwork. If you get locked up for this, there's probably something else going on. Police can't arrest or detain you for no paperwork. I believe your rights would be violated at this point and a law suit would follow. I don't carry paperwork for pistols. I normally have my range pass and sometimes my FID card.

Beretta 92FS and some type of AR variant.

Straight up guy Thanks bud

The PPS is more along the lines of a sub-compact. What sets it apart is it's single stack and very thin. Shooting target loads, recoil is no problem. I reload for it and shoot 100 round sessions easily. It feels easier shooting to me than a XD sub-compact. It has a solid feel to it.

Does it need to be a surprise? Have him get the permit, then just pay for it. If you want it to be a surprise then you both need to get permits and transfer it to him. That kind of sucks because your paying for 2 background checks.

The PPS trigger will smooth out after some shooting. Mine was a little gritty when new. It's accuracy is surprising, isn't it? One of my favorite 9's and it has been flawless.

This in a 4" barrel is a great revolver or the S&W 19 as suggested. I would skip the .22. He will get bored with it and want a .38/357Mag.

I was going to post the same. My thought is more powder will create a smaller combustion chamber with the same COL. This causes higher pressure and heat to burn off the powder. I'm not sure if that's true, but it makes sense from a physics stand point.

Get one twice the size you think you need. They fill up quite quickly if you're hooked.

I don't even know where to begin... Lets see, they were practicing yoga when they spotted a herd of deer. are you kidding me?? Manza said. "It gave me a different relationship to eating animals and animal products." What does he consider steak?

I fixed it

Not really a torture test, just shows that a gun may jam if filled with dirt.

When you say "replace the sight post", do you mean the entire sight assy? If so, I guess cut the tack weld on the nut and remove. How does the sight assy come off? It looks like there is a pin in the front. I thought about replacing the entire sight, but I'm not quite sure how to get it off, or the best way.

I'm glad they got him - what a POS. I hope he gets his stuff back.

It's possible the threads are messed up. If they are, I received it that way. Have you pressed in a windage drum yet? Do you know if they vary in size much? I think I may have to drill out the sight post.

I have a WASR 10 with the elevation sight post frozen in place. This thing will not budge. The gun's a couple of years old and I've been shooting it with a red dot mounted, but I want to go back to irons. I was never able to turn the sight post. It seems like it's welded to the windage drum. Forget about the sight post tools - I broke 2 of them. I tried soaking in PB Blast and Kroil over night. Still won't budge. I tried hitting it with a punch on both sides - no good. I gripped it on the top blade with needle nose vice-grips with another pair clamped on the sides to help stabilize it - no good. The vice-grips tend to slide off to the side. Tried heating with a torch and the vice grip method, still won't budge. I'm about ready to pull out the dremel and drill it out. The windage drum is most likely going to need to be replaced since the threads will most likely get hosed. I'm afraid if I go this route that I might not get a replacement windage drum to fit right - not sure about this one since I haven't done this before. I thought about replacing the entire front sight assembly, but there is a nut tack-welded at the end of the barrel. I'm sure trying to get the nut off and replace the entire sight will be a major PITA. . Anyone have any ideas?

I haven't paid 2 hazmat fees yet and I order powder and primers together. I already had free hazmat and shipping by catching a sale.

Frank - I have to agree with the others that set back happens with properly crimped ammo. I've noticed varying amounts of set back with different bullet types. For example, I noticed set back more prominent in .45ACP wad cutters. I believe bullet shape and angle during chambering a round will affect set back and will also vary between guns.

I'm up in Butler, close to Kinnelon & West Milford area.

Can anyone recommend a tree removal service for north jersey? I have two oak trees to take down.

If we didn't have the NRA fighting on a national level, everyone would be screwed. We can't use NJ to base their actions on because NJ is too deep rooted with liberals and we still have states rights. Until we have a change in NJ's political makeup, it's going to be very difficult for the NRA to help us with anything. I can't comment on what's waste since I have no idea on their daily operations.

Looks great! Like the barrel.
