Old School

Paul - I was in the house having coffee It was dark and I didn't get out yet.

My question is can you bring in firearms on your sholder and are there firearms for sale? Or is it NJ Nuetered?

NO!!!

NO Because that's the way it came out of the box....

And these guys were under my stand

But does anyone know WHY the gangstas hold the pistol like that?

Just the $.02 again. Select a powder that if it does double load will spill over the top of the case, You will see it... Once you set your powder measure check it for repeatability at least 5X. If it's within .1gr average in 5 trials that measure isn't going to change significantly. Keep the level in the measure more than 1/4 full and check it every 100 or 200 rds if it makes you feel better. I load rifle out of a progressive press and shoot .6" @ 100yd. Case sorting by Manufacturer/lot is essential. Case trimming is essential. And this is done primarily for safety. Just remember benchrest loaders only load to the .1gr as they find that variable to be one of the least important. But remember they may not be shooting Max loads either. I read the article that Maks posted. Good beginer info. But let me just say if you reload with good quality equipment, I use a dillon 550B, I don't get high primers, I get consistant powder charges, and it makes nice ammo.

Eric I think your questions are somewhat lacking. I for one employ different QC procedures for differnt types of ammo usage. Progressive pistol is one thing and Tactical rifle is on the other end of the spectrum. Your procedures are akin to benchrest procedures. Are you loading for benchrest? If not, you're wasting alot of time. I've seen some of your results and while good I think you could eliminate some of your procedures and obtain the same results. Just my $.02

Is it a plain barrel or vent rib? Getting a replacement barrel may be a more economical option. Last I heard IIRC is prices start at about $120 to thread an exsisting barrel but weither it can be done or not is dependant on the wall thickness of the barrel. WOW! I stand corrected! If the guy listed above does a barrel for $55 that's a deal. Just remember you have to ship both ways. I generally ship in a piece of pvc pipe, very secure.

Raz - How can you get a blown primer into the trigger group? Doesn't seem mechamically possible. But if it did happen some how, WOW what a MOFO. Caine, mentioned "bolt over ride" Is that a buffer spring issue? I've never seen that happen but I've never delt with really beaten rifles either, Please discuss...

I have a few 870 barrels, side saddle shell carrier, Plastic stocks, if you need accessories. One barrel is an 18" or 20" defense barrel. The actions on Wingmasters are slick as snott. Nice!

Harry - Drop the gun off at Mastadon and I go up there to do the work. The pistol never leaves Mastadon.

I own all Gen 3's and no issues eat anything. They work for me so I haven't switched to Gen 4's. Just a reminder: I do warrantee updates on the extractors up at Mastadon. I do reccommend an Ultrasonic cleaning while you have the pistol up there. Though GLOCKS have a reputation of being lower maintenance, it's nice if I don't end up all grimey while working on your GLOCK. I enjoy my pizza and gun grime doesn't help.

OK I'm going to tell you as straight as I can. I have shot a few KCI Korean mags in a G19. And they work fine. First I take them apart and with a pocket knife or Exacto knife remove any excess mold flash inside the mag and anywhere else on the mag. Put them together. I'll use my stock G19 for defense, practice and an occasional competition. I ONLY USE OEM GLOCK MAGS FOR DEFENSE. Bottom line...I use them only for dickin arround. BTW the springs are lighter but can be replace with OEM GLOCK springs for $4.

Thanks to all of you. It's amazing how many PM's I've recieved. Thanks! Imagine all the congrats I would have gotten if I was not an abrasive, crotchety old bastard... Thanks again NJGF Community!

What I've done is when spending time with the child comment on any errant gun handling you may see in the media. Instill the "Eddie Eagle" values. And at about 5yo I've got my daughter and grandson shooting a bb gun then later a 22. CLOSE supervision and gun locks are not only necessary but gun locks/inaccessability are the law. At 11yo my grandson shoots occasionally still under close supervision and my daughter is a firearms instructor. As a side note, at the time you start rolling back supervision be sure they know the finality of firearms discharge. Get the gun safe and be a responsible parent.

.......

Fixed it.

Not my house Chris!!! YOU KNOW they have to go on the top rack away from the heating element.

Well I saw the Cleaning a Kimber in the Ultrasonic thread. So I figured I start a thread Cleaning a GLOCK in the dishwasher. I really stip the pistol, pulling the fire control parts and wash them with dish detergent in the sink, then do the same thing with the fire control group. The slide and barrel get a little different treatment.

Keep your eyes open after the first of the year.

I successfully carry a G19 and don't print. I own a G26 as well and the G19 is not that much bigger. I'm 5'11" and 165 and IWB works for me w/ the G19. But then again my wife tells me my shirts are too big. Be careful of old guys with floppy shirts. Never know what's under there.

Congrats! PM me and I'll give you my email address. I have a VP buddy that is in the same field. I can forward your resume.

I see jealousy here... Matt - No scratching or pulling hair!

You guys aren't lovers, are you? Not that it matters to me.... Consenting adults and all....
