Support your LGS. If you don't, especially in NJ, They'll just disappear.

I'd like to be the first to say CONGRATS !!!!!

Good app! I've had it for quite a while on iphone. Besides the deals the podcasts are pretty good too.

Ya know... I think a 50yd sight in down the bore is more accurate than a 20' laser bore sight.

Sighting down the bore is the way my dad taught me 50 years ago. If you want, I think you're close by, we can laser bore sight it.

You know what I would do? If your rail is level to everything else. And your rings are the same height. Set it up and shoot it. See what happens

Here's what you do... Of course you are only worried about the horizontal crosshair. Level the rail (the rifle side to side) Level the cross hair Run the crosshair (elevation knob) up or down 20 minimum clicks (or as much as you have) confirm horizontal. Repeat until you have horizontal in both positions. Many folks level off the turret or cap. This way you're sure. I use a laser bore sighter but Blue painters tape on the wall works fine.

We've both seen a lot of this crap. Does Bubba know dovetails are tapered? Does Bubba know the male dovetail must be fitted? (some manufactures make them loose and install a perpendicular set screw for Bubba) Happy Easter Nicky and all !

Right Nicky.! Glocks have an elongated slot the front sight fits in and it is pulled down and secured by a Hex screw. Locktite can be applied to the threads but if the sight is loose to begin with you're screwed.

Before you doubt the guy (PK90) do a little search of this site and see who you're talking to..LOL

Rob - I think you can agree with this solution....Work hard, retire young, and get out of this state.

Just as a heads up... I subscribe to the Brownell's Advantage Plan. $50/year and always free shipping. Now Brownell is not always the cheapest but, if you need little stuff and you buy gun stuff often it works well. You know the $.50 spring that you need....and you don't want to pay $3 shipping.... It's the "Cat's Ass"

I took the test with Noah and we did pretty well with spears on the Wooly Mammoth target.

Same barrel as I posted in #14 but Brownell has it for 129.99

On Sale !! ED BROWN - 1911 DROP-IN MATCH BARRELS at Brownells on sale Barrel bushing and link drop in $129.99 Sorry it won't cut and paste the link ​

HUH??? Where did you hear that? Never heard that one before.

Shane chime in please - If you have a chrome lined barrel don't bother breaking it in because nothing is going to change. If you have a moly or SS barrel there are minor broaching or cutting marks that will accumulate copper and will progressively make cleaning more difficult if not broken in. I buy hand lapped barrels so the machine marks are at a minimum. I only break-in for about 20 rounds and the barrels clean easy and are accurate. Just my $.02

Foolish! Always clean a new gun. Many firearms are shipped with preservatives on the parts. It's not like it's cosmoline but they are shipped with oil preservatives. Get rid of that crap.

Probably true ! Not only that but I love NJ. Diverse geography, the shore, the NW mountains, the Pine Barrens. I just hate what it has become.

This is why ARs are not erector sets. Do any of the cobblers actually know what size their gas port should be? No offense not directed at OP. Difference in diameter between carbine and rifle length gas systems? I know one assembler, and I buy parts from them, that on their assembled uppers drills WAY oversized. Now I buy good barrels but I spec the gas port size. Like Vlad said, adjustable block if you want to save this barrel. Just trash the pinned comp and lesson learned. The existing condition will not add to the life of your rifle.

Mark - I don't know if I totally agree with your analysis But as far as the stolen guns goes you're right about the Bill of sale and there are websites to check the serial numbers against Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now a lot of you guys know I'm now a NJ expatriate. In SC the going rate for a FFL transfer (well many vendors) is $15. There are loads of FFLs many home bases or very small businesses. NFA transfers are generally $50. So capitalism and competition does keep prices down.
