On the topic of FFL faux pas, let me just put this out there. Be carefull who you choose for compliance work or who you buy from. NO I will not name names because I did not buy the rifle myself from the FFL nor was I present when it was puchased. But I have had several rifles come through the door with: Brakes pinned upside down. Brakes pinned but didnt penetrate the barrel at all. Stocks pinned bayo shaved, but no pinny pin in the brake! Missed a step Flash hiders pinned. Inspect your purchase/work performed as best as you can!!!

Agreed but the circumstances are what they are. Id prefer to discuss the topic OUTSIDE a jail cell. Better to keep us and ours free with their ability to vote intact! The 2nd amendment isnt the only right you give up on the inside of a jail cell

Society, there is a reason you are being advised by many here to proceed with caution in regards to advice and legal opinion from NJSP. Its because many have been burned by it. Did you catch my added link? That came about as a result of said burns. Here it is again: http://www.njsp.org/about/fire_ag2.html

You can say it all you want, it dont make it so. So let me track a few of the gems you have offered up. Ignorance of the law is a legally defencible position. If you ship a firearm to an ffl for work, it has to ship back to an ffl. The State Police can offer legal advice. I find all 3 to be wrong IMO. To much to cover http://www.atf.gov/content/firearms-frequently-asked-questions-unlicensed-persons http://www.njsp.org/about/fire_ag2.html "so just like the grey area works for the state it can work for you too .... " Lets assume your right for a second. Do you really think in this state any grey area court decision is going to go your way in NJ? But in my opinion, I dont see it as grey area as you make it out to be. The wording on manufacturing is pretty clear in the statute. 2C:39-1 j."Manufacturer" means any person who receives or obtains raw materials or parts and processes them into firearms or finished parts of firearms, except a person who exclusively processes grips, stocks and other nonmetal parts of firearms. The term does not include a person who repairs existing firearms or receives new and used raw materials or parts solely for the repair of existing firearms.

But you do understand you cant finish it in NJ right? An 80% reciever is no different than a 60, 40 20 10 or plain block of aluminum. BUT in NJ you can not take it past 80% unless you are a type 7 FFL. Why would you take an 80% reciever to the range?

Solid

Bhunted, I gotta tell ya, I regulerly pop off FH's secured with rockset with just a wrench. Only once did I have to put a little heat on one. The last one I did they put so much rockset on I spent more time cleaing up the hardened puddles of rockset than getting the brake off.

Well straight heat it may hold to that temp but warm water it wont. Rockset softens when exposed to warm water. Some claim a little Dawn mixed in helps.

"JB Weld requires over 1250 degrees to be removed" Are you sure you are not confusing this with Silver Solder(Brazing)?

Wait you want me to flirt with the Brit girls over my Italian ladies? The Tuono was the closest thing I could find to my Ducati in terms of handling and power, but would get me off my wrists. It is very hard to go backwards on power for me and the triple is down about 40 to the Tuono. And when you consider that frame and engine have two world superbike championships under its belt, well it just didnt seem anything out there really compared or filled that highly focused niche of a superbike with a street focus that I was looking for. I know Im a bit old for this but there is just something about bikes that will power wheelie at well over 100

Thanks guys. Ill tell ya, it was tough to let the Duck go. And it was really tough to not buy a leftover RSV4 Factory they had sitting there!!! But I think the Tuono will be the ticket. I took the test ride in weather I wouldnt even think of taking the Duck out in because it would be a slip sliding fest. But the electronics on the T made it behave wonderfully, even if the traction control activity light hardly shut off The bike really seems to be a a two wheeled amusement park.

Skyline, the appropriate comparisons between HK and FN are probably: FNX - HK45 FNXT - HK45T I chose the C because I can make the C bigger (10 round mags) but I cant make the full size smaller

I had this one but my buddy wanted it and I wasnt quite as enamored with it as I had hoped so its his now. The final realization was that I simply cant do the DA/SA thing.

This is true!!! It is absolutly against the law to shoot a youth model! It is also against the law to shoot senior models and its also a problem to shoot people who only model parts of their body too. Of course you can shoot any model if they are doing something to put you in fear for your life on or off the set or runway!

Hey now, I had that bike for almost three years! But on the non sport bike side, yeah its probably true!!! Anyone wanna buy my 2013 V-Rod Muscle? 511 miles!!!

I'd carry the HK45CT. Its almost identicle in size to my P30. But hey, I think I could carry a FNX45tactical too. But Im 6'2" 255 so it gives me more realestate to do such things

Maybe its a sign Im getting old. But at the end of this riding season, I really wasnt digging riding the 1098. Even for around town the pressure on the wrists and shoulders was getting to be a bit much. That and I was racing with a Pangali and as much as I have derided electronic aids, I coud easily see they were keeping his bike stable as hell while I was having to work at keeping the front down and the rear tire behind me! It became clear that since I dont ride as much as I used to, having the electronics might not be a bad idea. Time to admit I need reading glasses I guess. So she got loaded up, along with my brothers 1098 that needed service, and off we went to an excellent Aprilia dealer in PA. Came home with a 2014 Aprilia Tuono. The bike is incredible. In the looks department, well, its kind of plain. But this is truly a riders bike. Once you ride it and see the grin that doesnt leave your face, it becomes clear. So I guess I traded the crazy hot chick in for a pretty chick with a Phd in rocket science

Yes its cheaper and...feels cheaper. But there are a couple things that bother me with this pistol. Not that you couldnt fix it with a sanding block and a metal file but... the four corner edges on the grip are too squared off. Or maybe its the way they wrapped the pattern. But I hate the way it feels. But the other thing I really dislike is the absolutely bizzare fish hook ejector! Its retarded sharp. I cant imagine trying to clear the bullet pathway in an emergency with that meat hook right there! Not to keep banging on the FNX but I also dislike the mushiness of the safety and how it feels spring loaded. It does not feel positive enough to go C&L to me. If you are a DA/SA mode guy its a non issue for you. On the likes side, reset and SA trigger are very good and the pistol is accurate! But lets talk about capacity for a minute. Its a endless debate, I know. But at what point do you feel comfortable with the number of rounds in your pistol? If you were in a combat operations area, the argument for max cap makes sense. Your likely giving cover fire to get back to your rifle. But outside of that scenario, what is sufficient? My opinion is that I would prefer enough rounds to be able to engage up to 3 bad guys without a reload. I feel that 11 rounds covers me for that. The added weight and thickness to get to 16 in a 45 is not worth the compromises, to me. If I want 16 then I will carry a 9. I believe in 99.9% of the time, you will run out of time before you run out of ammo...

HK45CT!

He has all the right ingredients. His understanding of mechanical applications, metalurgy, welding and machining will all play favorably to the ability to build a 1911. Although our interests seem to run quite parralel, I started to swear JJ is spying on me! After I went to blacksmithing school last year it wasnt to much longer before his show Jessie James, blacksmith aired LOL. Now that he wants to build 1911's Im sure of it

poor equipment can offset skill. I would take a quality rifle with qaulity irons over a crappy rifle with a scope that dont track and looks like a glass of milk any day

I have only had hands on Stiener LR scopes. Great scopes with EXCELLENT customer service! I would be curious on dot brightness on the 1-4

I use an Atlas V8
