Cheap Century A1s?
It says there's 6 left and they are $649. I don't see these at my local dealers. Do they function well? Do you know who made the barrel and what the specs are?

Cheap Century A1s?
Anybody know anything about these? http://www.hendersondefense.com/store/pc/NJ-Compliant-M-16A1-Semi-Auto-Rifle-10p261.htm I have 3 ARs and this is still very tempting! I love A1s. And the one I have I'm afraid to knock around. I probably wouldn't get the NJ version. Just not sure if I trust Century on something like this.

That's extremely cool! Probably one of the top guns in all of NJ.

SARCO IS MOVING
I missed this thread. I heard about this the other day from a friend that is a military collector/builder and knows some of the guys there fairly well. I'm told at least some of the premier employees are pretty darn happy they are moving to PA. I don't know about them not having kits in PA. It sounds like the opposite. But my info is 2nd hand.

NJGF dinner
If that's not what Ray has in mind we could also setup a separate event for that.

To those of you who didn't make it: You missed a chance to stock up on Tannerite!!! I can't believe Cabelas was selling it LOL. I've seen it at gun shows and shops but I never thought I'd see it in a big corporate store like Cabelas.

We are expecting that the people who are able to resist will choose not to. The plan is more of a forced insurrection than invasion and occupation.

NJGF dinner
A couple ideas I've seen for kids from recent meets. Rent a pavilion at a park. The kids can screw around on the playground equipment and give each other wedgies. If we do a BBQ at somebody's house, setup badminton. And put up a few hay bales and let the kids shoot BBguns and airsoft. If you want it slightly more firearm themed, get a .22 trap. The kids and adults can spend an hour or two shooting .22s. If it is legal to bring your handguns (is it considered a shoot?) then it would be an opportunity to carry your handguns while socializing. You can shoot frangible ammo at the .22 trap out of your carry guns as well. Anyway, the kids never seem to need a whole lot. I would try to keep it simple and just provide a couple normal activities for them. After a few hours they will just be swinging sticks at each other and setting traps for the dog anyway.

NJGF dinner
We always make it through just fine. Never for $50/head, just find a place that has extra space and talk to them ahead of time. No need to reserve a catered ball room, nobody will come. Just find a good restaurant with an extra room for overflow/multipurpose and talk to them ahead of time. Throwing a BBQ is always good.

Eastern or western central NJ?

Transport handgun to parents' house from out-of-state for 1 week sta
If you're uncomfortable about being unarmed then get an NJ FID and bring a shotgun or rifle. More powerful than a handgun, and at least you can transport it to places it unloaded in the trunk - from what I understand. Providing time allows for that. Do you have a CA carry license? Not that it would matter in NJ, just curious for context.

Actually, that's not really a fair comparison. Since I live in PA 45 minutes from there.

Weekend Cooking
I have to cook most of my own food from scratch. Here are the staples I cook and freeze for a month: - Spag sauce - Chili - Enchilda sauce (and a few enchilads) - Chicken - Sausage - Baked beans There are dozens of sauces and beans and stuff I make about twice a week and keep in the fridge. I prepare most meat and vegatables fresh daily. And I use fresh veggies and stuff to complete meals. But in order to have variety ready for breakfast and lunch I want to have some ingredients ready to go before I put the finishing touches on the meals. I can't have a 100% fresh meal 21 times per week.

lowers/uppers in different colors?
Every color you can think of in every type of finish. They are so ubiquitous that I won't post a link. That would only limit you if that is all you can find. Look around. There are also places that will do custom colors and finishes to various specs. Judging by your question, that is not what you are looking for.

Weekend Cooking
How many people do this? I'm cooking a month's worth of chicken right now. It's going to take a few more hours. Tomorrow I'm cooking a few days worth of various leftovers. Which I will repeat on Wednesday. I use fresh ingredients in all of my meals day to day. I'm at the grocery store every other day at least. But I have to stock up staple food items in the freezer and prepare sauces and ingredients that will last a few days to put it all together quickly. Anybody running the home kitchen like this?

Have you ever..
You know I can't help it, right?

Have you ever..
My house, their house, no house, probably once a week! Did it today with a gun with a barrel under 16 inches (I'm so sorry)

Barrel twist
1/12 is more accurate in the majority of cases if you are using lighter projectiles. I shoot 1/12 every time I go out, but usually 1/9 and/or 1/7 also. I do not buy any more 1/12 stuff. But I will buy a 1/12 barrel to replace the almost-shot-out barrel I have in the upper with that twist.

.22 Conversion Units
The conversion kits are somewhat less accurate in theory because of the overstabilized fast barrel twist. Some people also say it fouls up your gas tube unless you blow some .223 through after the .22 RF. The people I know personally have had these kits for years and have no complaints. But they don't shoot 5,000 rounds a year through them either. So I have no idea how picky you have to be to complain about them. If you want to shoot suppressed, there are other considerations. But I doubt that is a subject of this thread. I have the Spike's upper because I planned to put thousands and thousands of rounds through it per year and didn't want to screw around with my M16 uppers. They also have excellent CS and troubleshooting via email. I filed my auto trip per instructions (only required for FA) to tune the kit to FA and never got it to work. Emailed them a pic and they said I filed it too far and it was junk. They sent me a $30 replacement trip for free and it worked right out of the box. Been using it ever since. This thread is not about uppers, but I'll post the vids if you want to see them again

Cabela's Meetup, Sat. 1/29/2011
It was nice meeting everyone! You guys seem cool and have a great sense of humor. Food was not bad at all. It was definitely above cafeteria food. I've been warned about the food there by many people but it was fine. No range time for me. It went pretty late and my friends didn't want to come. There were two "maybes" and we usually go around noon. I'll hit the range tomorrow.

Craziest Computer Den in America
I've seen better gun rooms with lesser computer setups and better computer/sports TV setups with less guns. I would give it an 8.
