So I guess I shouldn't be worried about the feed lips on my pmags?

Kars 4 Kids. 1-8-77-stab my ear. Stab stab stab stab, stab my ear.

Which RO was it? I had a similarly enlightening experience with the old crotchety guy.

Tony, you mean that stuff is actually BREWED? I thought it was chemically synthesized!

Those solar lights are good for outlining a pathway in a dark yard, but not much else. In my opinion, you would be better served by buying a low-voltage DIY kit consisting of a transformer box and lights. This way you can actually get some security benefit from them, the lights are interchangeable/replaceable , and you only have to bury the wire a few inches.

You need an FID to buy long BB guns and P2P for BB handguns. Therefore I surmise it is an AW per NJ law

Boo, hiss! Clemson did indeed get clobbered, I got a lot of buddies down there that are not happy right now.

Why would you want to, anyway. I'd rather cut off my bayonet lug and pin a brake than lose the ability to drop a magazine without using a tool. Is a threaded barrel that important to you?

You are absolutely correct, which is part of the reason why case law will not prevail for this particular problem. Gun owners are under such pressure to appear as the most strict law-abiding citizens that some would turn against their peers for minor infractions such as this. And yes, this IS a minor infraction-- can you really say a felony sentence and up to 7 years in jail is an appropriate punishment for two people with legally-obtained guns, possessing valid carry permits for their home states (had the requisite background checks) and asked to check their weapons, for crying out loud! Should felonies be handed out to those that hunt without the plug for their pump action? I consider the two to be on the same level. And I still wouldn't try either. But how the gun community behaves doesn't matter. Nobody with a gun permit would be selected to be a juror (conflict of interest), making the chances of a gun owning juror very slim (even if so, he or she would not be a handgun owner) so jury nullification is out. This needs to be turned around legislatively. If enough people that feel strongly about this issue to garner the support of a legislator, he or she had better have quite the constituency in order to stay afloat.

I'm not ex military so would feel like a bit of a d- owning that Ka-Bar. Love the way they look though. I have a Gerber Big Rock, cheap and not the best but works for camping. I would not use it for HD so I guess that would go to the Kershaw... I never gave it much thought before.

In this order: 1. Defense 2. Exercising a right 3. Gun games/hobby

After about a year of range use, I haven't had any failures with my 8 rounder. I trust it fully for HD duty; it is a CM Shooting Star.

I bought my Mossberg 500 for $150 from Hackettstown Guns & Ammo. Was practically new. If you look hard/long enough you will eventually find something that's known to be reliable for a good price. http://www.gunbroker...?Item=265584238 (The above is TJ Sporting Arms, I don't think that will stay below $200 though, but at least you can pick up in person) ETA: This was implicit but I will say it outright. IMO, you shouldn't waste your time with the Chinese knockoffs.

At least in a 1911, I feel the term "tuning" refers to changing the timing of the gun by means of altering the locking lugs and the length of the link, more so than the spring rates. (All stuff I'm not particularly inclined to do, but some are).

It might come from Wilson, but it's not a philosophy I subscribe to. Remember: they are in the business of selling springs. The recoil spring's primary function is indeed to strip a round from the magazine, and bring the firearm back into battery. It doesn't matter how hot or tame your loads are, the weight of the round doesn't change significantly, so why would you expect less (or more) force to be required to chamber it? Overspring the pistol and you risk outrunning the magazine spring, underspring it and you might not have the force necessary to bring it back into battery. I never implied that it didn't, but what happens when the slide transfers its momentum to the frame isn't greatly affected by that spring. Changing the spring rate will affect the feel of the recoil, yes, but you're not saving wear on the frame by using a stiffer spring-- you are merely transferring the location of the wear (the net energy transfer is the same, as Griz said).

If I had cable I'd cancel on principle alone. You have got to be kidding me.

The recoil spring's purpose in a 1911 is to return the slide to battery. It's not a blowback action, messing with the spring weight may end up hurting the reliability of the action Running a steady diet of +P will increase wear, even if the gun is rated for it.

Wonder if that tactical pen has the state mandated 10 lb clicker spring.

I read the subject as "NJGF Food Fight" Needless to say, I am a bit disappointed.

At least some H&K USPs have polygonal rifling. ETA: Hm. Should have read the subject more closely.

I did not feel anything but heard what I thought to be thunder. I remember checking weather.com to see if there was supposed to be storming, but found nothing.

Wasn't much to be seen there yesterday. Most of the long guns I would be interested in were indeed "missing in action" (isn't that generally a very bad thing for guns?) I saw no accessories other than a long gun case and the safe.

Got it. Sorry bout that

Approx address? I'm going to be in that area today

Hm. Is it off color for me to say they should defile the bodies of the killers by leaving them for the vultures and scavengers? Little solace to the families of the victims, I'm sure...
