Holeshot, Im not sure but in the same vein of your post I have been thinking about coming out with a Jersey AR barrel and brake. One that works on lugs instead of threads. This way you have no threaded barrel but you do have tha ability to remove the brake so you can service your rifle properly! It bugs the crap out of me. Some of my barrels are quite expensive! What if an adjustable gas block has an issue and needs replacing. I have to blow away a $200 brake to fix it and drill into the barrel again!!! Add every other scenario of basic maintenence that requires the brake to be removed. Its just aggrivating as hell!!!!

In the case of the federal requirement for NFA barrels I would agree because in that scenario, you are truly required to make the barrel and brake one item. NJ just says permenantly affixed. I never found any weld requirement in the statute to be considered perminant. Since in my view the method to remove a pinned brake and a pinned and welded brake are exactly the same I would say their permenancy is equal. In fact I dont even see what the weld gets you except a whole lot of ugly on the barrel My cutter blows right through the weld, pin and brake equally. Of course it would be so much better for all if this nonsense was reversed. But since that isnt likely to happen, NJ could at least help remove some of the ambiguity by giving some guidelines at least!

Depends on the brake. I pin some brakes on the side because the wall of the brake is very thin at the bottom. But I do not weld mine as it is not needed in a 16" or greater length barrel in my opinion.

As I said earlier, Im not worried about the lubricating qualities, cook off etc etc. Im worried about contact and atomization. But maybe those concerns are equally as bad for reguler firearms lube? I dont know. But after chasing oils down both in the automotive world and gun world, the differences are probably a lot smaller than most think.

I agree with Paul and a big thimbs up to Smokin .50 as I believe he is spot on. I also think the 4th amendment angle is accurate! Maks, I think you are missing the big picture and the point here. And now for the biggest point of all in my mind. GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM IN GANG VIOLENCE!!!!!! Drugs and money are. The guns are a bi product of the drug trade and thus go hand in hand. Solve the illegal drug trade and the gun /murder problem will be greatly reduced.

Thankfully there are those that do uphold the Constitution...

Just replace the reason for preasence with the 1koffer from the Mayor......

cguiro, I think the salient point you are missing is that making laws under the guise of greater good, or for the children etc etc is simply the battle cry of the gun grabbers. It is NOT about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. It just isnt. Why you ask? Becasue criminals do not care about the law!!!! You need to wrap your head around that fact. I respect your right to your opinion, but I consider it my duty to try and provide you with enough logic and reasoning to reconsider your position. Show me a law that affects the lawless! The law is only as good as those willing to obey them. So if criminals continue to disregard them, who is affected? Only the law abiding citizen. Now consider the fact you are in a gun grabing state and you have laws that are by design created to seperate everyone they can from their firearms. I can assure you there is a ton of cases proving this point ad nausium. Think about a restraining order for one second. Consider your own position. Think about the fact that all your wife or girlfriend has to do is make a complaint you threatened to kill her and pulls a RO. You are guilty until proven innocent! You will have all personal weapons stripped of you, all without jury or trial!!! Now lets add a component. Lets say the Mayor has decided that LE domestic violence is an issue and will pay $1000 to anyone turning in their spouse or any case where the wife of an Officer they know are being abused! Reaching..yes. Same thought process? YES! Ill tell you something. A KEY part of the problem is the focus on the item instead of the individual. I used to believe that their should be greater penalties for crimes comitted with a gun. I no longer think that way. The item used should not matter one bit. It creates a deamonisation and in my mind can actualle lessen view of the severity of what the actual perpetrator did because it almost becomes an excuse! Because society starts thinking the item is eveil, not the person. That is what has happened with firearms. If someone puts someones brains on the counter with a rolling pin or a pistol, the focus should remain on the person that killed another, not the item used. The largest mass muders were commited with airplanes and locks and chains and a couple of gallons of gas. Person to person murders are by and far much higher by devices that bare the name luisville slugger on the side but there is no greater punishment for killing someone with a baseball bat because the item has not been demonised and the focus remains where it should, on the person that did the killing!!! But as law abiding citizens we want to preserve our right and fall into the trap of thinking there should be a greater punsihment. This is the thinking process of a lawfull citizen who knows he will never be in the catagory of criminal. BUT I think it is flawed thinking because it perpetuates the demonization.

I have not tried this myself but..... I know enough people that I consider knowledgable that have and with good results. HOWEVER, I admit that I am not so concerned with my firearms as I am esposing myself to contact with motor oil. I mean it is a carcinogyn(sp) right? And does it vaporise while shooting? Am I breathing that in? All things not part of the consideration of a product made for an enclosed system..... Just my thoghts.

Thank you!

BLF we arent talking about out in public We are talking about a program that I guess looks like good intentions on the surface. But my position is the reality is that its a publicity stunt by the politician, likely no one in the hood is going to drop that dime, and so it will be those looking for a payday or trying to get even with a neighbor which will mean those that were the target of the program will not end up being the target of the program. In my view its a program to creat blanket probable cause so that the police in that area can collect as many firearms as possible and it really wont matter who is getting impacted as it is really a gun grabbing goal anyway. Think of Katrina. A judge ordered all those confiscated firearms returned. How did they dodge it? You had to prove ownership to get them back. So people that lost everything now had to provide reciepts!!!! This is the way things really work when gun grabbing is the underlying intent!

It wasnt access to weapons they were seeking, it was training. If their record was clean enough to enlist, its likely clear enough to legally buy firearms so Im not sure what your point is. On a side note there was quite a few that went in with those intentions but had their compass pointed in the right direction while there and never returned to the gang life.....

No but the point is, that is where that line of thinking leads. Your view of how you think an investigation will go clearly shows you me you simply do not understand the reality of how things will go. PC IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTED TO ROLL THE DICE TO WIN $1000. There wont be a judge looking over a warrent. Its going to be a knock and shake the tree and see what falls out. And this is where some innocents will be swept up because they will try and comply with LE instead of saying no thanks and closing the door.

Id likely be interested. I inherited a metric ton of Black poder stuff over the years somehow. Some of it I have had for 25 years at least! I have not shot a single one of them. I must have like 7 or 8 BP revolvers.

Here is a question for you.Should we allow the government to search our houses from top to bottom once a month to insure society has no ills?

Coolaid? Brother, you are the one professing blind faith in the system.I am professing the fundamentales of American Freedom........

cquiro, your comparisons are apples and oranges. You are totally ignoring that you are in a state that LOVES to manufacture criminals when it comes to firearms!!!!!!! Something MANY people forget is that personal freedom comes at a price. That price is that some people will be able to illude the police better in a society that has freedom as its mast head. When these freedoms are eroded for "the greater good" you end up with a society that is not free and wrought with abuses. In other words you end up in Nazi Germany! And lets role with your localized picture.You really think that in an area so against guns that the courts are gong to be symapthetic to the inccocent that get swept up in this? You are NIEVE!!! They will get a sheet of paper that says if you surrender the firearms in question there will be no charges if they are lucky!

If he is, he shouldnt, I hate getting this fired up before noon!

Also, you seem to forget one thing, in NJ ALL fireaems are banned. The burdan to prove you own them through a legal exception is on you! Do you really think all police are defenders of the consitutionand will hapily give you back every firearm including the ones you have no paperwork because you bought them when you lived in America? This is creating a dragnet of probable cause that can be misused at all levels........

cguiro I think some research into the propeganda strategies used in Nazi Germany will give you all the answers you need for what is wrong with this type of campaign....

PM sent. Yes its a Henny on there. Just tossed it on to see how the height of that mount works and Im happy to report its very good. I have one of the new Steiner 4-16 tactical scopes inbound. Not sure what I am putting on what yet. I put my USO 1.5-6 on the EMC. Probably will try the Henny on the GAP and put the Steiner on the AI. At some poiint Ill probably pick up a S&B 3-20 and put that on the AI. We'll see

snapped a few crappy pics...

Why, no one owns clips? I have a whole jar full of em. SKS clips IIRC

Im not going to bore anyone with all my little in out stuff. The keepers are: GA Precision Custom build on Iron Ridge Arms reciever set in .260 Rem. AIAWSM in 338LM

Although the pics arent clear enough fro me to make a definitive call, it does not look like galling to me. More like high spot wear.
