You clearly have never opened a crate from HK Germany!!!! Hard to explain pre-scratched at the factory to people that think they care about packing!!!!

Its a trap!

Griz your giving me a mental image of showing up to work in a business suite and an M4 slung across your back

Absolutely!

Lets be clear, these are Ray Ray facts which don't usually translate to the real world. If you consider a .45 a Euro pellet and a .308 a varmint rifle, well like I said, Ray Ray facts...

Roger that! Forget who's who with all you trans screen name types . Like yourself, I like high BC calibers. But Im also fickle and like to play with the new hotness too. And sometimes Im cheap and wouldn't mind simple and inexpensive!

Including your own? Low cap and limited range are perhaps not the best choices to cover the most bases of forever.

I thought most people automatically understood this and Im pretty sure it was easy to infer since Im talking BC. But of course the cartridge matters because if you put that pill behind a different case it wont have the velocity. But Im sure you know that. Many people shoot many things for many reasons. Why I do it may not appeal to someone else. And the reasons they choose may not appeal to me. If your trying to punch paper on a budget or train or learn or just like it, the 5.56 can indeed fill that role. If you like odd new calibers then there are plenty to choose from. Old School and I usually see eye to eye but I would challenge his interpretation of what Mr. Litz was saying. If you cant read the wind worth a shit, anything short of a laser isn't going to matter for you. Learning to read wind well, which calibers like 308 offer, are indeed good learning tools. Once you upgrade to a more efficient caliber, you will do that much better with it. Run your own ballistic calculator and see what the difference of a small wind call error make at distance. It will give you an appreciation of the skill needed to shoot LR. Last question Bully, what rifle/caliber do you shoot?

Lets be clear, a projo with a higher BC will allow you to make more of a mistake and still hit your target. But a round that is susceptible to drop and drift indeed can be a better learning tool. The weight of the projectile does not directly guarantee a better drop and drift. Fed GMM Match 175's are not going to outperform a 140 Creedmoor. Your ballistic calc should show you about 100 inches more drop for the 308 @ 1k and 2 feet more drift for 10mph fvw. The BC of the Valkyrie is quite impressive so I don't think its going to get blown around as much as many other cartridges.

I like your thinking!

The HCAR doesn't interest me but their faithful repro of a BAR in semiauto does. Been plotting for a long time on that one but mags may be difficult

If the P90 were recreated in 9mm, they would really have something!!!

Anyone have intel on Albrightsville?

I think you mistakenly believe that these laws are unintentional. They are very much intentional. This state does not want you to have guns. This states court system has already stated you own them through exemptions at your own peril. This state does not care if things end unfairly for you and its about to get a lot worse. I agree with your position that all the BS laws that do nothing but ensnare the unaware and create criminals should end. Things that are a major crime here are mere parking ticket equivalents in other states. But again, that mind set of "evil guns" the courts have, in my opinion, got that way by always having the focus on the firearm instead of the person.

The demonizing of the inanimate object is how we got the laws we have now. You yourself are succumbing to it because you believe if you allow greater penalty to those that commit crimes with a gun will somehow translate into greater freedoms for the law abiding. NJ is proof positive it doesn't work that way. Is there any greater penalty for committing mass murder with a plane or a truck? No because the focus remains on the individual. What about a case that you or I would see as justifiable use of a firearm but the anti 2a prosecutor and judge don't so not only does he get railroaded, he gets additional charges. To see this in action one only has to look at the discrepancy in Brian Aiken's sentence of 7 years vs the person that beat his toddler to brain damage around the same time that got around 4 years. There's tons of cases where the sentence for a crime that didn't even include an overt criminal act that resulted in a sentence far above those given to actual criminals.

"1. Commit a crime while using a firearm (bank robbery, home invasion, rape, mugging, etc, etc) get a decade added to your prison term when found guilty. No pleading down to a lesser charge. No making the gun charge go away. " If you demonize the inanimate object it will remain the focus instead of the individual.

The firearm may be in the same boat federally but the trigger is the issue for NJ.

Everything else aside, it is my opinion as I have said before, the binary trigger is illegal in NJ per the statute "I."Machine gun" means any firearm, mechanism or instrument not requiring that the trigger be pressed for each shot "

If I was a Beretta guy this would be the one!

There really isn't a standard. Everyone has their own idea what right looks like. The measurement is from the top of the rail to the center of the mount, not the top of the mount. Looks like 1.41 (Doesn't indicate if this pic is co-wit or lower 1/3 but based on the measurement I think its the lower 1/3)

You have to dive a little deeper than just a lower 1/3rd description when mixing and matching mounts. You have to look at the actual center line measurement to the rail top.

Just so I don't have to retype my points:

Thank you for the info! Shane

Jerseyrifle, I think, based on the Dr's comments that I would be in the same boat as you, that I would need reading glasses. Was it a worthy pursuit? Did it cause you any new issues for shooting? Regards, Shane
