Old School

PM me make arrangements and I'll meet you at CR 300 and you can shoot my 2k AR... You can't buy your way to success but equipment does help. You obviously have a decent level of skill. Come and see what you can do with a budget rig.

Talk to Bob White in Lake Hopatcong. He can set you up at any level you want.

Miguel - I was there two weeks ago. Give me a shout and I may be able to do something for you down the shore. FS

"Meet you in the school yard at 3:15" see how silly it sounds? Let the guy comment nobody cares! Nice project informative. that's what this forum is about. BTW way too much work for me...LOL

Pull the nipple, try and get some powder in the breach, and pop a cap in a safe direction.

Correct. fixed barrels handguns and rifles I believe.

If you are making a "Heat a lator" for your fireplace PM me. BTW I have a 115v welder you can borrow.

There is also a chrono that straps to your barrel as well. But I use the tripod type.

That's terrible! They were victims...

You all forgot one of the passive victims.... The poor police officers that were asked to execute this fiasco. Knowing it was wrong!

You have bought the most robust 22lr semi auto offered. Shoot, enjoy and if it ever starts acting finicky, like after 2000 rounds...clean it.

I was always told carry the biggest gun you can... and that was 100 years ago by my chief buddy. If you're serious have one summer gun and one winter gun. I carried a model 36 and found it more comfortable for size and security to carry a Hi Power at the time. For me it's all about width. Like I said it's how you dress as well. Damned...I've carried a 25acp when I couldn't carry anything else. If you had too I wouldn't rule out a 380. It will fit in your "banana hammock" better than a J frame. There are SO many other issues to consider when you talk about your security other than caliber.

All these learned answers.... What type of pistol?

So much depends on your style of dress and what you expect out of a handgun. I've been licensed to carry both in and out of our state. When I was wearing fatigues I could carry a full sized auto concealed. Now I'm 5'11" and 170. Floppy closes help, summer sux. Back to 38spl vs 380acp. good 380 defense ammo just about equals the 38spl of old. 380's are thinner but I own a LCP and don't carry it because it's 380. I went and bought a Kahr PM9 just a little bigger but a real 9mm. Revolvers for me are too wide. As far as reliability I think its a wash. Never forget your first shot may be your only shot. and you'll get first shot with either handgun.

Roll pins(tension pins) are OK for stocks but pop rivets are no good for magazines? Suck on that for a while.... Doesn't make sense...

Here's the way I see it (MY OPINION) and I'm pretty sure the NJSP will agree. If you buy a 15 rd magazine from a commercial source and it is or has been modified to accept no more than15 rds. you should be legal. If you modify that magazine in anyway that would allow increased capacity you have broken the law. Your opinions please.

Thank you!

I agree they look like garbage. I use these for $16 and they are flawless, They are lanced to prevent the follower from moving all the way down...But somebody will probably say they are illegal...LOL http://www.midwayusa.com/product/334509/ar-stoner-magazine-ar-15-223-remington-15-round-with-anti-tilt-follower-stainless-steel-black

Do you have a special insight to NJ law? The law is so vague that you cannot voice your opinion as an authority. At least qualify your statement as saying "in your opinion" Virtually any "NJ legal" magazine can be modified to be illegal.

I don't know how much experience you have at 300 yds. If you want 300 I'll guest you at CR. I find 300 VERY challenging.

I don't know where you can shoot 600 yds locally. BTW you can use 20 MOA rings instead of a base.

800 yds, now I understand the 20 MOA base. But shooting 600 yds and over around here is tough. Guess you'll be traveling.

I'm sure you have much more exposure to such information but why do they say that?

T- You are obviously a man with a mechanical aptitude. The use of a slave pin is always the accepted practice when assembling anything that needs a pin fitted. Alignment of a tension pin is imperative. Roll pin holding punches make life and alignment much easier. The use of vise grips to install a pin is frowned upon. Tension pins have the end beveled for insertion and "crunching" the end should not be necessary. I am VERY hesitant suggesting reaming the hole for the bolt catch but as I said before some are undersized from excessive coating material in the hole. I even use slave pins then assembling hammers and triggers. I am not saying that assembling a lower is difficult but based on some of the questions and problems that I see, not everyone should tackle it the first time alone.
