BLF, Im not bashing, I save that for LE's that say only cops and Mil should have guns . Im just pointing out that punishing good intentions will lead to more of the us/them seperation of LE and the comunity which is counterproductive to you going into a situation better informed.

Blue line, your line of thinking is as problematic as the Sarge's. Forget about the "mis"interpretation of the law for a second. If the PD would LIKE to be informed they are responding to an armed house, you better learn not to penalise the public for doing you a courtesy..... Keep turning the eye on the innocent homeowner who had no obligation to inform anyone and you will cause people to stop informing you. Wouldnt you rather be informed? Understand I do appreciate the tangle for LEO, sworn to uphold the constitution and then asked to break that vow on a reguler basis from what can turn out to be anti gun brass. But from a common sense perspective of LEO safety, it still doesnt make sense.....

Axe, Im guessing it was around 2000ish. I got the bright idea of starting the very first online 1911 build class. It gained momentum and ended up recieving a ton of industry suport. In fact our pistols were the very fist to get the DLC coating you see all over the firearms world today. The class was a great success and continued on for quite some time. All pistols from the class have the Partiot serial number. I have #1. It ended somewhere in the couple hundreds I believe. It was in American Handgunner 2 times.

Damn! Ive been so busy I didnt catch that he had passed. He wrote the Article in American Handgunner about my 1911 pistolsmithing class............

They are the insurance policy I can play with.

Magpul ACS.

I like the KAC and DD rails.

In cases like this, especially one so young, I often wonder if the 3 yr old is the patsy for someone elses ND.

Well Santa dropped of 400+hp of small block Chevy goodness! Sry for the crappy camera pic.

I know Caspian will prefit the frame and slide for you for a nominal fee so you can hand lap it in for final fitting.. But there will still be the matter of fitting the barrel. I would recomend the Kart - EZ fit kit for that. Very good barrel, good tools and good instructions.

There are several levels of building a 1911 from what I would call tweaking and assembly all the way to ground up build. I do the latter and when all is said and done I put probably in the neighborhood of 200 to 250 hours into it.

In ranking of recoil I would rate them by my highly tuned shoulder from lightest to heaviest in this order: KAC EMC MWS/Larue OBR Tied Scar17 AR10Carbine/DPMS Worthy of note is that the top three its a small difference.

I like Caspian. They are very accomodating on giving me exactly what I want. This round I am using a lot of EGW's bar stock parts. Barrel is a storm lake. Heres a previous build also on Caspian frame and slide.

No love for the SR25?

Contact tacticalmonkey on here. He has a nice DPMS for sale. Or pm me contact info and Ill have him reach out to you.

I dont know about range Nazi's and I would wholeheartedly agree with Tommy. However I do think there is a good reason to carry at least a copy of the PPP. I carry a copy and here is why. In NJ as you all know all firearms are banned. We own them through exceptions. The burdan of proof is on you because of the way these laws are constructed. Therefore if you can reasonably prove ownership and exception there on scene should you become entangled with law enforcement from a routine traffic stop or whatever, you can nip it in the bud right there and prove ownership and exception. If you cant and you get the wrong officer, the burdan of proof could be thrust upon you and you will jump through many hoops to get your pistol returned. Its much easier to cary a piece of paper in my opinion. I know I dont have to, but Id rather that than have my pistol tossed around like a hockey puck while I prove its mine etc etc.

I posted in your other thread but I'll add this to this one. I have found that at least for me the caliber switch idea is good on paper but...just doesnt seem to work out as well in the real world. For me I was trying to keep from buying 3k optics for multiples sticks. But in the end I found that that is simply what I prefer. Trying to remember your running different zero's for the same scope for each caliber was simply not worth it for me. In the end I found I wanted an optic for each barrel which defeated the purpose of going DTA. And again, I couldnt live with the triger. In fact a budy I had warned about the trigger just came to the same conclusion and is selling his entire kit that has a 308 and 338 conversion. If yor interested I can put you in touch.......

So to double check I ran my bike through Progressive to check my rates. On one bike its 300 more with progressive. But on the other its 200 less. So Im going to drop one and move it to progessive and keep the other on State Farm.

The platform really is ideal in the 375/408/50 calibers when you really need higher mobility in a heavy caliber but in the realm of the smaller calibers, its highly practical but lacking in a few key areas in my opinion. The trigger being the biggest. I also dont really dig the bullpup design. But unless your well off and have access to 1000yd plus ranges...even the 338 is yawning hard in NJ!

I have not found anyone to even come close to State Farm. They have the best rates I have found by far!

Maybe. Im not so concerned about my abilities. Im more worried about someone high siding into me or something. Couple of buddies had their bikes trashed by squids on beater bikes at the track.....

Had to move my trailer to the other side of my house so I snapped som ebetter pics. No the Duck's rear tire isnt small, its a 190! Its just the 109's tire is huge.

I think that IF an officer had shot one of them that there would be enough of a case of disparity of force to mount a defence. Its not as simple as taking a beat down. There is a great concern for an officer when they go down in this type of situation that their weapon will be taken and used against them. That is what creates a reasonable escalation of force for an out of control mob imo.
