shoot tokarev pistol ammo through your mosin
Sportsman's guide has 7.62x54r -> 7.62x25 adapters available. Not that 54r isn't already dirt cheap but Tok ammo is even cheaper and I can shoot it at the indoor pistol range. Maybe now ill get some use from my m44 carbine. http://shop.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=650814

Gov Chris Christie - Is this guy anti-gun?
A few weeks back he was on 101.5 and a caller posed several 2A reform related questions to him including potential income from LTC permits, OGAM repeal and the like. He claimed to be supportive of the "sportsmen" in this state and said that if a repeal of OGAM came under his desk, he would absolutely sign it. Don't recall if he addressed the other issues posed to him.

Offroad riding in the pine barrens 4-24-10, video highlights
Lol, unlikely but there's plenty of other doubletrack trails that would be fine for a truck. If you or anyone wants to go wheeling, i'll volunteer as the navigator as i know of lots of good truck trails in the pine barrens and have a GPS to navigate through them.

Do you ride? If so, you're welcome to join us sometime if you like the technical sort of riding that we half-wittedly attempt here.

Bryan, it was spread out through greenwood/pasedena/bassriver forests i believe. We actually start in New Egypt where my buddy lives, and then we have a route that goes through colliers mills then over through manchester, brendan byrne and finally greenwood and points south as the day went on.

Offroad riding in the pine barrens 4-24-10, video highlights
I went out riding again with the helmet cam yesterday and had a great time. Conditions are still wet and muddy after the wet and snowy winter and the puddles are still hangin' around. I took a few hours of footage on the camera but here's a few highlights of some of the comedic drama. In these you find a few crashes including one guy flipping over the bars, copius deep water crossings, weak-ass jumps by sorry riders, face-fulls of roost and various slipping, sliding and getting stuck in the mud! Enjoy at our expense! Part 1 4tmhcGkXfoc Part 2 H_QJnTNjzwE

Lots of Pictures!!
Oleg Volk is the former owner/admin of thehighroad.com and after the controversial split, the owner/admin of thehighroad.us. That aside, he is is certainly an avid photographer with an interest in melding that with his interest in firearms and RKBA as the subject of many of his compositions.

Lifted Truck in NJ (Come in Handy)
Nice hillclimb! Where is that at (i'd like to ride my bike there)?

Lifted Truck in NJ (Come in Handy)
Well, it doesn't surprise me one bit to see them regulate it. Im sure there is even some additional fees in there somewhere for them to get thier cut. On a side note, i would love to tag along shotgun with someone and go do some offroad wheeling. I don't have a suitable truck of my own but I ride offroad on my dualsport and know a lot of roads that would be sweet for a truck to explore.

Finaly got my FID. Are these idiots for real?
While my FID is correct, i think I've had errors on every single permit i've ever had which were usually just a typo here and there. Never had a problem exercising them though which is a relief. All that is forgiven though for hte time they gave me a batch of permits with NO DATE! Thats right, pistola permitum non-expiratus! Every time i exercised one of those the FFL would usually remark that that i was holding a golden unicorn. Those were definitely sweet while they lasted.

Here she is- my 1st 1911- Taurus PT1911SS
There's a vid of a similar test with a Glock. The guy remarks that the frame stays cool, but the slide certainly gets hot. One thing i notice with all of these 1K torture tests is that they can't keep the up the firing pace because thier trigger finger tires and slows after only a handful of magazines. Todd Jarett switches to bump firing and the guys in the glock vid even alternate shooters. Part 1 0_JuF23qazI Part 2 CyZxQfIBXDc Downrange TV and Todd Jarret of Para Ordinance also did the same test primarily for the purpose of setting a record of 1K rounds in under 10 mins with a Para 1911.

Look at the shooters grip in that video. He takes a traditional right-hand grip but then reverses the role of the trigger finger. Right hand grasping gun, index finger anchored along frame. Left hand wrapped around and right hand and under trigger guard, index finger on trigger.

Rimfire pistol vs Center Fire Pistol
When folks talk about .22lr being inherently "Dirty", i tend to disagree. While certain brands of ammo and the powders they employ maybe be dirtier than others, the main contributor of how dirty a gun gets after firing is how much powder the ammo itself burns when firing. Small ammo such as the .22 doesn't emply much powder per shot, but since its cheap we tend to shoot a *lot* of it which therefore contributes to a lot of carbon buildup. I'll shoot 500 rds of .22 in a session at the plinking range just to make it a worthwhile trip, whereas i'll shoot only a box or two of centerfire 9mm, or 45 for the cost of it. A good comparison is that ff i only shot 50 rds of 22, my gun would look relatively clean. The same amount of rounds in .45 makes the thing all sorts of filthy due to the amount of powder in those cartridges in comparison to the minuscule .22. If i blow 500 rds through the stainless .45 without a cleaning, it starts to look more like a parked GI model.

This is why i never leave live ammo in the open at the range
My uncle sort of experienced that once. I was helping him paint the inside of his house and he took down the smoke detector and removed the old 9v battery and put it in his pocket with his keys. He was sitting on the floor cutting in around the mouldings when all of a sudden he jumped up off the floor and violently dug the contents of his pocket out and thew it on the ground. Apparently the battery had shorted on his keys and began to painfully overheat but no spontaneous combustion or anything.

Call me paranoid but... After reading the article of ammo "popping" in a fire and how its probably safe for a fully geared up fireman to be near it, its probably not as safe when its only a foot away from you at the range when perhaps the only "gear" you have is a pit-stained, thread-bare t-shirt like Ray Ray wears.

Photos from Ft. Dix. . . 4-2-10 (PIC HEAVY)
I too suspect they'll put on a good show regardless of the velocity difference. Remember that day at colliers mills with just the water bottles? A 22lr just pokes through and it drains out but the same bottle when hit with my 22 mag with proper HP's was a much better result. Now you might not have bits of coconut raining down in the next zip code but you also won't get assaulted with a face-full of pina colada either.

Yea, E36 and it was the same camera i used on the bike. It comes with a variety of mounts that you can stock to helmets and a articulating suction cup mount that i used with the car.

I forgot to disable traction control before that run so i had to quickly kill it before the first gate. :oops: I launched the car and it just fell flat on its face and i knew right away i forgot to kill the TC.
