Thank you. Im going to give this a serious look! Shane

I had a conversation a while ago with a Seargent on the local pd. He seemed knowledgable on firearms law. He cautioned me that technically some post ban config firearms are still an issue if their serial number comes up as a pre ban date of manufacture. He specifically referenced M1A's. No change in config but a pre ban serial could get you pinched. Thoughts, opinions appreciated. Thanks! Shane

Man you guys are rough Some guns are nothing more than fun. Although 98% of what I have fits a specific application, some are just for FUN. I didnt buy a PS90 because I have dillusions of grandor that I'm going to get a "Cobra, zombie squad" call from local swat to come help them out on a no knock warrent, I got it for fun for me and my 10 year old. Its just fun, thats it. I have fired the DE 50. It was fun. I have video of me one handing it. Torqued so much the casing came straight back and "tink" bounced off my forehead. :oops: Shane

I dont have a millet but basically I dont seem to be able to ever get away with reguler hight rings for any optic on the AR platform. Its either med high or high for me. Buy hey, I think I have a big head so YMMV. Shane

Well.... ya cant really get these specific ones anymore. I got these made for me by Rob Simonich before his fatal accident. They are still being made but from what I understand they are subcontracted and a bit different than the originals. If you look in this link you can even see they look different. Just not as well finished IMO. BUT you may like them better. Some complained the originals like mine were too rough on the hands. I want to be able to grip my pistol bloody, oily, muddy, rainy....you get the idea so I like the meat grinders. With the serrations and the grips, you dont slip thats for sure. http://www.simonichknives.com/gunner.htm

If you do, you MUST get it gold plated and start calling it a DEAGLE :shock:

Well... to the original question, Id say its likely. The PS90 and the FS2000 both made it.

Hmmmm IRS gets SHottys, FBI gets 20MM Rifles...... hmmmmmm :?

Thank you for the kind words. Heres another for ya.

I thought you guys might like to see some of my work. I dont pistolsmith professionally, but heres a pic of the first 1911 I built. I built it about 7 years ago I think. I put about 200 hours into it. Every part is hand fitted. This is the pistol I will be using to try my hand at IDPA. The coating is Norrells Moly Resin in SOCOM Black. I did the finish myself as well. I was contimplating doing a flat rear of the slide, when Scott Mulkerin released one that he did and once I saw it I knew I had to try it. All my 1911's since then have it. Well enough jabber here you go:

There are steel matches around too I believe. I dont know mutch about bowling pin shooting but Id guess the attraction is reactive targets? I love the tink of hitting steel plates!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!!!

I live here in Jersey and work in PA. I was going to get a PA CCW but some friends out there said they were starting to deny Jersey applicants since our state technically is a state that issues CCW. I spotted here the classes for Utah CCW. From what I can tell PA honors Utah CCW. Do they still honor it if the CCW is non resident? I travel out to some pretty shitty areas in PA with hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment. Id feel alittle more comfortable kicking the bums off the doorstep so I can get in the building at 3 am with more than my emerson in my pocket

I would LOVE to run rifle as well! Dont own a shotty though. Had one in the safe for 20 years. I just sold it to a young budding hunter for cheap to get him started. I think Im in the camp that everything a shotgun can do, my carbine can do better.

I guess its about time I introduce myself. I am a long time avid shooter of multiple disciplines. My main focus centers around black rifles, 1911's and long range shooting. I would say Im fairly knowledgable in those areas as well as operational equipment and their deployment. When not doing my day job that pays the bills I im usually designing weapons components primarily for black rifles but I have a few long range product designs on the drawing board as well. I have a few 1911 items too but nothing ground shaking there. I also build my own 1911's from the ground up. My day job and my own companies can cause me long dry spells in between shooting. Im trying to change that. I am going to start competing in IDPA. I consider myself a forever student. I am just as eager to recieve knowledge as I am to pass on what I know (as long as its not restricted by a non compete non disclosure ). Shane

Guys, thanks for the help. OB looks like the best bet. Mapquest has some of the venues @ over 2 hours away. I just ordered a Comp Tac holster and mag holders. Local place has a decent price on ammo so im going to go grab some. WISH I never sold off that Dillan 550!

If long range is your intention you would be better served with an Armalite or DPMS 308 compared to the M1A. The advantage for the AR style rifles are 2 specific areas. 1) The mounting of optics. Its just far better and far easier on an AR pattern rifle. 2) The M1A requires bedding and probably some accuracy work to get close to the AR. I have never used an M1A for long range shooting but those I know that have say its a pain in the ass to keep it maintained at a level of sufficient accuracy. None of them still use an M1A, they have all moved to the AR platform. Now if your talking minute of man at 300 and under, my points above do not apply.

Im in Central Jersey. Im gearing up to go shoot some IDPA. What im looking for are smaller friendly venues where I can get accustomed to IDPA competition. Any suggestions? Thanks, Shane

At roughly 100 yds a 20 mph full value wind call is only what, 1.5 inches? Sounds like he is experienceing a much bigger divide.

For anyone considering the Acog with a RDS piggy back I say try it first if you can. Its pretty high up trying to use the RDS. So much so you might find yourself with a chin weld instead of a cheek weld. Another option if you have the rail space is a 45 degree offset mount. If you need to transition to your RDS, you just roll the rifle. http://www.civiliancombatweapons.com/br ... Mount.html

Can I ask why your replacing it? If its because you want alow profile, it may be easier to cut the FSB off instead and go with: http://www.del-ton.com/Specter_Gas_Block_p/bp1068.htm

Am I the only one who takes it sarcasticly? I use basically the same commentary when I run into a bambi'ist.

Any shops in Central Jersey or not to far from that carry Comp Tac Holsters? Looking for the Minotour Gladiator or possibly the Belt Holster. Thanks, Shane

Old School I was thinking along those lines as well. Maybe not removal but one of the action scews was loose perhaps? Are you shooting different ammo from when you last shot your rifle?
