We have laws for things that dont even exist yet. Look up NJ smart gun law when you get a chance.

I am a founding board member of NJ2AS. Unfortunatly I have been sidelined for a while working two jobs 6 to 7 days a week for the last 8 months or so. But the idea has merit and I actually had discussed with the board similer ideas over a year ago. However given the current climate I think it has risen to the surface as a prudent idea. I will speak to my board members on the idea. I have the perfect person in mind to teach the class. All will be predicated on board approval and participation of said person. He was my constitutional law and rules of evidence teacher. He was fantastic. He was also part of the prosecuters office IIRC so I think he would be exceptionally qualified to speak on the subject Shane.

JT, Im not here to give you or anyone a hard time. You asked questions of kriss owners and since I owned one I felt qualified to comment. But it should be noted I am a slave to facts and truths. I dont accept information without suporting evidence. I am sure that a pattern has emerged here from people like, Tactical Monkey, High Exposure, and myself. I believe we all hold the same view because we all pursue the same "tactical truths" on equipment. And crtitcal, logical thinking is the order of the day in that pursuit. With that in mind I present the following questions and statements. How easy is it to clear a round from the chamber of a Kriss? Is it field expedient or not? (something i want to be engaged in while defending my life, my personal experience with the kriss was it is not) How is the civy kriss better for CQB? Largely CQB utility is corelated to some degree by size. The civy NJ legal Kriss is HUGE! This is why I and I believe others think the civilian kriss is a novelty.I also believe the PS90 is too. But not because of the function of the weapon but because the truly effective ammo in that caliber is restricted. Keep in mind that I have said it before many times, a good reason DOES NOT need to exist to like or buy a particuler firearm, only that you like it and it meets whatever needs you are looking to fill. But from a practical position of "combat worthy" which is the criteria some of us benchmark, some firearms that are liked, do not fit this role. The live round ejection thing IS the deal breaker. Like I said before if this was solved and I lived in a free state that I could make full use of the systems other features, then we would have a ball game.

The response would be...click. I had this argument with an anti gun group about 15 years ago. My research indicated that stolen guns were the real issue. So when I got into a long discussion with an anti gun group, I suggested that instead of wasting all their money on add campaigns etc etc that they subsidise safe purchases. CLICK!

Thank you sir, it was my pleasure! Shane

If I lived in a state where it could be SBR'd and the ejection issue was corrected, Id be in but until then.... Ive had em all, Kriss, USC, PS90. The one I actually liked best was the PS90 BUT I can do so much more with my AR. So they are all gone.

Since I havent owned one for quite some time I just did a google search and this came up: http://www.krisstalk.com/t127-does-your-kriss-reliably-extract-live-rounds

What makes it a novelty is the problem many have with an inability to reliably eject a live round. Straight from the company tech support line "yeah we know its a problem but we havent figured out how to solve it yet. We have stopped pursuing resolving it so it is what it is" The one I owned about two years ago would not eject a live round. A dead primer in a factory round tied up the weapon and left it dead in the water. A couple od dept that were looking at them at the time tried what I said and had the same result. The T&E's went back unadopted. So with those issues, mil spec anodizing that was anything but mil spec, the giant fake horse C can... = novelty... I can absolutely count on my AR's and since they are from a company that actually owns the TDP they are true mil spec...decidedly not a novelty.

So what do I win?

Make sure there are no metal boogers in the chamber of the barrel.

Are you saying the pistol would chamber a round fine prior to you taking it appart?

They stole robocops pistol!!!

Looks like a spigot bipod adapter.

Stick with a 308. It is the best teacher of drop and drift. Drop and drift are the real challenges of long rang shooting. Keep in mind that the 700 really isnt going to get you more distance than a properly set up precision ar. It only brings more energy to the target at distance. Also worthy of note is that gas guns require a very rifined shooting technique over a bolt gun and thus I would recomend you start your endeavor on the bolt gun side of the fence. It is more forgiving of input error.

No harm no foul BH. I think Topher knows Im a switch hiter these days and wants me to break out the Hog .

I know Im going to give away my age with this but I was a big Kevin Schwantz fan for GP and Jaimie James and Scott Russel fan for superbike when they rode for team Yoshimura!

Its very hard to know where your going to end up in this so its equally hard to advise. BUT picking up something like an older Remy LTR in 308 is a safe bet. Leave it stock until you outshoot the rifle and then sell it off to fund the start of a custom build. You will loose very little money if any.

Well, THEY ARE TROUBLE! The red ones mine Yellow is my brothers and when we get together, trouble it is!!!

Its a good platform of easing in to it because you can modify if you go. But if you are going full bore into it, its not my recomendation. Why pay for labor redoing an action instead of getting a nice custom action to begin with? In my opinion the custom action rifle built by a reputable smith will hold its value far better than a remy with a bunch of bolt ons.

The Rabbit hole is deep in this catagory!

Well, I could full time protest (and do) about my 2A rights But it boils down to the theme you are known for and the current project at hand. You dont have to bite off more than you can chew. For example, organise a ride in support of an NJ2AS event. Simple but effective toward the goal of the club.

Its interesting. I dont care who I piss off so Ill wear anything But I aint riding with none of them sporty bikes! They aint nothing but trouble! The one thing I think might be worthy of consideration is expanding the ideology just a bit to the entire consitution, not just 2A, even if 2A is the focus.

Scrap, I do not lump myself in the expert catagory, for the record. However, I have a fair amount of trigger time behind a lot of different optics and believe I can offer some insight. I asked you if you had time behind one because maybe you have found ways to overcome issues with the 4x I have not. Or perhaps there is some factor I did not consider that made a 4x a more attractive consideration. When I read your post I certainly came away with an impression of experience and thus the question. In my view the TA01 was populer at one time because the mil bought them so everyone follows. However, that dont always translate to what is good, better, best. Just because I felt it sucked dont mean it dont have a niche or a role that it fills, it just didnt meet my needs. But I think what I look for in an Acog is more in line with what the average person is looking for, and that is a more balanced ability of accuracy and speed on target on a wider spectrum distance it is usefull at. But the most valuable advice i can give regarding an Acog is to beg borrow or steal some time behind one because not everyone can use one well. Some people just cant shoot with both eyes open. This kills some of the advantages an Acog offers. Others just dont do well with them. There is a fellow shooter on this board that I would say is extremely even to my abilities in shooting combat drills with an AR. Ahead in some respects, behind in other but we are talking fractions of seconds difference here, right up until the Acogs come out. Then I leap ahead by a rather large margin. This cause me to really do some research. The answer may suprise you. The theory, vetted to some degree by real experts in the field, is that the difference had nothing to do with optics or eyesight. It had everything to do with what sight picture you brain could do well with having presented to it. For whatever reason, my brain is not affected hardly at all when it is presented with magnification and or a true reticle configuration. My speeds, according to the shot timer, do not fall off hardly at all when presented with a sight picture that is significantly different than that of a red glowing dot. His brain wanted to see a red dot and when it didnt, it did not process the target/reticle nearly as fast.

It will lead to the new soda tax instead.

Scrap, have you used a 4x acog? To the OP, everyone is different but I can tell you my TA01NSN never even made it to the range! I sold it for a loss because I knew it was not going to work at all for me. I have played with just about every Acog out there. The eye relief of the TA11 and TA33 make those the clear choices IMO. The difference between 3.5 and 4 is negligable, but the difference in eye reliefe is big. On 4x Acogs my eye socket feels like its molesting the objective! I like the TA33 on 5.56 rifles because 3x is a good trade off, sacrificing some far end distance for some near end speed. I can run the TA33 down to about 30yds and only give up fractions of a second to my red dots but pick up serious time over the red dots 75 yds and out. YMMV...
