Ewww no new big box stores!

Don't worry guys. As I understand it this will be very good for the shooting community in our area in the long run. Stay tuned...

I would HIGHLY recommend avoiding any frangible ammo from CTD. Troy and I went in on a case and it wound up being overloaded and dangerous.

I've mixed different lots of W231 with no ill effects, though 90% of my loads are well below max.

Thanks Drez. Be sure to put coupon code LAPG in at checkout for 5%($1.50) off.

In a word, massive. I still want one though. It offers virtually nothing over the USP45 full-size other than a "silent" decocker. One plus is that USP45 and MK23 mags are interchangeable(with MK23 basepads, USP45 basepads won't fit in a MK23). Size comparison:

All of them. If you go USP, the only trigger option IMO is the Match + LEM hybrid. As mentioned, the USP gets you the better trigger while the HK45/P30 gets you better ergos. If I had to pick one "everyman's HK" it would be the USP compact in 9mm (or .40 if you're one of those people )

Hint: The right decision is NOT the glock.

So long as the current owner of the rifle is a NJ resident, yes.

Already been beaten to death here: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/27889-franklin-armory%E2%80%99s-new-ar-15-is-neither-a-pistol-nor-a-rifle/

The evil feature game is only applicable to semi-auto rifles that accept a detachable magazine.

Whoever thinks this "could be illegal" needs to load their HD firearm with FMJs, only drive directly to and from the range with unloaded magazines in a separate, locked container from their gun(also in a locked container) and ammo(in another locked container) all in separate compartments of their locked trunk. Also, for the love of all that is holy do not stop for gas, because you never know in New Jersey!

Good point. I always resize/deprime in the same die so I missed that he said he only deprimed. Are you resizing before measuring length?

Too long is an issue, too short(in those lengths) is not. Load em up.

14.5 in 7.62 sounds like a fireball machine. I like it

I have not messed with any other 2-piece quad rail other than the Daniel Defense Omega. That requires you to remove the standard handguards and stick the omega rail into the delta ring. Then just tighten the included screws with an allen wrench and done.

I will send you a PM.

As mentioned, make sure you have some form of adjustable sights on it, be it a red dot, iron sights, or scope. A bead sight is not legal to hunt with slugs in NJ.

Congrats on the harvest! My experience mirrors yours with COs. I always find their officers to be very courteous and stand-up people.

I don't crimp rifle rounds.

Your Lee Classic Turret is a single stage press with an auto-indexing rod. Take the rod out and you have a single stage press, no need to buy another. Also, I resize .338 cases on mine without any issues, so .308 won't be a problem. For trimming if you don't want to invest a lot up front, get the Lee case length gauge and shellholder($5 per caliber), Lee case trimmer and lock stud($7), and Lyman case prep multi tool($21). With this setup you can use any drill/driver and process rifle cases quick enough. Any dry media tumbler should be fine to do the job. The only powder I use in .223 is Varget, but I charge cases one at a time by hand with a funnel. Varget will not meter through a powder measure at all, so I can't recommend it if you want to charge cases on the press. Any small rifle primers will be fine. A good extra to have is a kinetic bullet puller since you will make mistakes and need to pull rounds apart. This type of puller is hard to use for large volume bullet pulling, but sufficient for small volume. If you want/need help setting up and getting started let me know, I should have a little free time towards the end of January and I still need to get you that stock.

Another reason why I only use one powder for all of my pistol cartridges.

I have the Bushnell Elite Tactical 10x on my precision AR and have been pretty happy with it. Due to a desire to hunt coyote/fox with the rifle I have been looking to switch it up to a scope with adjustable magnification(10x doesn't offer enough FOV when picking off critters). If you'd like to take a look through the scope and send a few rounds downrange with it shoot me a PM. I will say that I am unable to see .224 holes @ 100yds with it though.

At the range my dad built next to his hunting cabin at 5ish yrs old while he held the rifle and I aimed it. Pistol-work I learned from mom at SCFGPA.

Every man's man needs a good torque wrench. Put it on the Christmahanukwanzukkah list.
