  1. Well what is short term? Gas generators burn more fuel then you think so not quite sure what your thinking. A week or two is doable if you have the fuel stored. I forget what I was burning during Sandy but it was an eye opener.
  2. Yes but a reg generator requires a fuel supply. And you will need quite a bit. If you cant get it,your screwed. If the NG gas supply is distrupted, your talking major destruction and like I said earlier. If thats the case, you would probably have to evac anyway. Think of the coastline in Sandy.... The only thing different between a reg gas generator and a NG unit is the carburator so service should not be an issue.. I think they are pretty common these days...
  3. American weather forums. Mainly in the winter.
  4. Sandy aftermath was cold! And I had a Newborn in the house. I was very lucky to get me power back in 7 days. Other sections of town were 14+. Raritan substation was wiped out and never rebuilt. JCPL switched that grid over to the Old Bridge substation which was overloaded and probably still is. Our power goes out in a storm much easier and more often since that. I made 2 custom extensions with males on both ends and plugged them into 2 outlets in the house to feed my panel from generator. MUST shut the main and isolate house off grid before doing so. I was able to keep enough heat in the house to keep the baby warm, fridges cold, charge devices, etc. The bare minimum. I still need to buy my own generator and am thinking about a diesel powered unit. Diesels run 1800 rpm ,not 3600 like the gassers. NG home backups are like 10 grand. The grid failure is the single thing that will stop your life in its tracks and put you in survival mode. However it happens. You wont be going to work, you wont be doing anything except taking care of your family and home.
  5. I have the 72 box of those
  6. Some Dedicated home backup generators I think are setup to run off NG or I know they sell conversion kits for the engines. If you run a NG unit, you will never have a need regular gas except what you have stored for your bugout vehicle. It would take mass destruction to lose the NG and you probably would not be able to stay in that area anyway afterwards.
  7. I have one of those. And I have 3 other headlamps I use. Some Surefire flashlights and a crapload of 123 batteries.
  8. Power Grid Failure. That shuts everything down and the longer it is out..the worse the situation becomes. Sandy was a big wake up call and I still have things I need to do to be prepared. Luckily,I was out of power for 7 days. Things started to get hairy at day 5 and I started packin my 10mm around the house. My neighbor and I drove down the Turnpike to exit 4 where life was normal and we stockpiled 150 gallons of fuel for our generators. Alot can happen, drug addicts and people who need medication who cant get it start doing crazy shit. Backup generators should be plumbed into the natural gas and not have to rely on a liquid fuel source. If the underground NG lines lose gas, we got bigger problems then we think. I have a 55 drum in my shed that is for diesel storage for my Jeep. Yes, my Jeep is a diesel..lol Other then that, its the other basics to stock up on and hold the fort. Dont plan on running. You wont get far . and yes, cash, cash, and cash. Credit and debt cards are useless

    I like my OD frame G20.
  10. Spyderco Millie in a leather belt sheath. Love it. I want to get a Benchmade Triage and try that out. I have a bunch in the drawer. Gerbers, Bucks, CRKT, and Kershaw. CRKT are awesome for the price!

    Np, just thought I'd throw it out there.

    I just picked up a USP 9mm Expert today your welcome to try out. I also might be interested in your comp gear depending on what it is. I want to start shooting USPSA at Old Bridge.
  13. Got the call today from Sayreville. Permits are ready. 6/17-7/15.
  14. Yea, its hard for me to tell if thats an L. I dont know of a Leupold that physically looks like that though.
  15. That dont look like a Loopy.
  16. I dont either... Its a shady grey area. I suppose because that MP mag is sold and marked 15 rounds, it is legal. I would assume you are not suppose to know the mag will hold 17 changing the spring out....if thats the case
  17. When I got the upper from High Caliber Sales, I had them pin and weld the brake and thread protector as one assembly. The Ops brake can be found for 150 I think. Check Adco
  18. Just get a Harris 6-9 if you plan on shooting prone. It mounts real simple right onto stud.
  19. I called Sayreville on Tuesday and all they needed to do was pull up my background check online. Everything else was there and was told I should have them by the end of the week. Lets see what happens..
  20. Lmfao. I just spit coffee!
  21. Yes, suppose to be 10% hotter. If me no likey, I will try the Speer 124 Lawman.
  22. I thought the address on DL and FID have to match in NJ to buy? So a DE DL would be no good to buy in NJ?
  23. One more thing...i never saw anything in writing where it says that one cannot accept parts to build 15 rounders... Play at your own risk..
  24. Just some thoughts on the subject... If the magazine is permanently assembled with the base plates pinned and epoxied to the point they cant be opened back up without power tools and destruction, who gives a hoot how the inside is actually blocked. The mag assembly is the permanent modification.
