If I can buy a stripped AR lower or a complete AR lower, why not an 80% finished one?

Thank you, Scott. Will do

Thanks, anyway, Frank - I ordered some today. Do appreciate the offer, though Jack

This afternoon was the first time I separated the upper from the lower on my Armalite M15-A2. This was intended as an educational venture so I would know the tricks when my new upper and lower arrive. Boy, was it educational! There is this silly little spring in the lower that does not seem to do anything. hmmm, that's curious. Whatever, I will put it all back together now as it all seems pretty straightforward. WRONG! The "silly little spring" holds the detent that holds the takedown pin in place. After crushing the spring, not once but twice, I figured out what was going on. Oh well, at least they are not expensive. I also ordered some of those fancy KNS pushbutton receiver pins while I was at it. Nothing like belts and suspenders - after the fact!

Yep - the prosecutors would have a ball with that when I tell them I have a valid permit, just not from NJ. It does not say "Have a valid permit in NJ". Either way - we agree, it will work when pigs fly!

Snobs is us and snobs is good! Thanks again!

Good info, Lunker. Thanks! I don't have the upper yet so, legally, I can pin it myself.

Agreed - my want machine overwhelmed my logic device! I really want a Colt AR - ideally the LE6920 carbine. I know I can't buy it here in the Republik, so my plan is to build it. I think if I change the stock and grind the lug off of the upper I should be good to go. Overall it will cost me about $150 more than buying the complete gun in one piece. (Fingers Crossed) Thanks for suggesting a search. I should have known that! For anyone else following along here: http://njgunforums.c...wn-bayonet-lug/

If that is a verbatim of the regulation I should be able to use my Utah or Florida carry permits to buy handgun ammo. Good luck with that!

I just bought the Colt Lower on the enclosed Gunbroker link. I know I cannot have the adjustable stock and have already ordered a fixed replacement from a Colt 6940. There is no reference to AR-15 anywhere on the lower. Is there anything other than the stock that would run afoul of NJ's prohibitions? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=298306473 Thanks, Jack PART 2: Is there any 'magic' to grinding the bayonet lug off an upper? Just grind and cold blue? Thanks again

Your LGS can order from a distributer but I found the best way to go was through Brazos Custom Gunworks In Morgan, TX. They are a prime dealer, have lots of stock and excellent price and service. They shipped to my local FFL and it was easy. http://brazoscustom.com/Home.htm

I have both STI and Springfield, but not the models under consideration. In my opinion the fit and finish on the STI is far superior. It's a toss up whether I prefer it or my Dan Wessons, but I am a Dan Wesson addict!

I have had Dish packaged through phone for years. No issues until Dish and AMC stoped talking together. Tried to switch to Direct - got a decent package through TELCO (CentrutyLink). Signed up, scheduled install, they never showed up! Called and they had lots of excuses but no results. Cancelled the order and stayed with Dish. The installers are, I think, all independent contractors. I just got unlucky and was assigned a loser. Hope he got dinged by DirectTV for his attitude

Hey Joel, I'm in Pittstown and will take the ammo. I can pick it up tonight or over the weekend - whatever works for you Jack

It was Dick's. What can you expect? Most employees are experts at everything and were under-qualified to be WalMart greeters.

.... Monty Python fans will relate My wife and I have a gift debt to her brother for his doing far more than his share in an ongoing family illness situation (not my wife or I). He is something of a history buff, not a shooter, and got my attention recently when he said he would love to have an old musket to hang above his fireplace. I have been cruising Gunbroker for a suitable piece but, so far, not doing too well. Seems to me that one of my NJGF brothers may have a source What am I looking for? Musket (rifle) Non-working Not a replica 18XX would be great patina is just fine Up to $300 seems it should be doable Any leads, as always, are appreciated! Jack

I went last year or the year before. It was my first gun show in years and I was psyched to go. It was also the last time I will ever go. There may have been some deals or rare items but it was impossible to see anything with the mobs crowded in. As a previous poster said: it gets pretty rank in there and that is a gross understatement. Personal hygiene is apparently an option for a majority of attendees. I hope your experience is far better!

Congrats! Sweet piece

I went TO a BOA mortgage at 3.125 in January. Totally painless

I haven't tried the wrist rocket but am sure considering it. I've also just used my fishing rod and tried casting it through the trees. Sure is interesting to see all of that monofilament hanging from the limbs! I'm just getting back into radio after being QRT for many years. A simple multiband dipole is the starting point but, knowing me, a triband beam will be coming before too long (-;

Warning - weird request...... I am looking for a bow hunter to help me in Hunterdon. I need to get some light line through the upper branches of a couple of trees. Why? I want to put up a wire type ham radio antenna between some trees. I have done this before in the past but the friend who helped me has since passed away. Willing to trade for some cold adult beverages of your choice.

DW just released, or re-released, the .357 revolver in stainless steel. Price seems high to me, but what else is new? Wish I had the bucks

By golly, you are correct! Some Google-fu proves the BATFE will accept dual residency status for the purpose of purchasing firearms. Now all one need do is somehow obtain a second state to issue a driver's license or similar form of ID and good to go.

Legally you are a resident of one, and only one, state. Part time, ie; less than 1/2 year, does not make one a resident. In reality I would love to get a PA DL. Just think, no more OGAM! But, no can do as a resident of NJ
