Beat me to it. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1979019&type=product&MDK=dynbanP_NW&MDC=cat104815080

A mandrel is inserted in the barrel and multiple hammers hit the exterior with great force repetitively. Once complete, the barrel is sent out for plating.

There're legal ways around needing a love letter

You should be fine. We have a 150mbps/25mbps line at the house because my wife watches Hulu, my daughter watches Netflix, we have 20-some internet connected devices at any given time on the network (laptops, phones, tablets, etc.), and I like to play online games and don't feel like running the chance that we'll run out of bandwidth. It helps that our service is only $80/month too.

That reminds me that I need to call them about postie 240.

Mine are minus the plastic heatshield as those start melting after a single 200 round belt. And I agree 10000% on a semi-auto AR being better and cheaper than a semi-auto M249.

Good M249 barrels can be had for $125ish on Gunbroker. Last October, I bought 20 of the "long" barrels for $95ea at Knob Creek and all looked to be hardly used. There's a shocking amount of surplus parts floating around for the Mk46/M249 platform.

Um, I think the military pays about $4k for the M249.

IIRC, spec is 1.750 +/-.001. I target 1.745 but typically get between 1.740 and 1.750 due to slop in the machine (I trim on my 1050 during the sizing operation). Short brass is better than long as if it's too long, it can crimp the bullet and cause a pressure spike.

Not for residency. My wife finished her four year residency for internal medicine and pediatrics last October. Her last year, her pay was $52K and she worked 70 hours a week on average, peaking at 85-90 hours (sometimes violating work hour rules) a week.

Passport would work to establish identity but you would still need a government issued document with your residence address. A current driver's license satisfies both the residency and identity requirements when filling out the 4473 as it has your name, photo, and address. Otherwise, you need a combination of documents to establish identity and address. I've done quite a few transfers with DLs that had old addresses (establishes identity) and fishing or hunting permits issued by the state with the new/correct address to establish residence. I'm not saying it's legal if you genuinely live in NJ but have a PA address but if the selling FFL didn't know any better, it's not really on them as the person who's filling out the 4473 is the one who is committing perjury on a federal document.

You'd need a government-issued document with your name and PA address to establish residence and the photo ID would be used to establish identity.

Sort of. Legally, you can send it by ground as a non-licensee. You're just breaking the shipping company's rules if you do that. Unless you have a negotiated contract with UPS/FedEx, you have to ship by next day air. The larger volume shippers have exceptions to that rule as they send tons of handguns each year (distributors primarily). What's illegal is non-licensees shipping handguns by USPS.

I don't think it would. The OP needs to chronograph the rounds he's putting through it to see if the ammo's hot or not. I'd also try something known to be on the short side of headspace such as FGMM to see if he can replicate the problem. If he's got an out of spec chamber that's causing pressure issues, it should be apparent across ammo manufacturers.

Hmm...not The Onion and not April 1. How am I supposed to know this is a joke?! ... It is a joke, right? ... RIGHT?! ... Guys... Seriously...this is a joke, right? How can they be so dumb?!

I can pretty much guarantee you that it's overgassed. Try an adjustable gas key rather than a gas block.

I laughed so much harder watching this than I should have. That guy's laugh....

You need to chronograph them from your rifle.

Out of what length barrel? Is that what you clocked it at or is that what they listed?

I think you're overthinking this. Occam's Razor would suggest to look at the ammo first.

I do not. If it was, it would be grossly out of spec and you'd be piercing every primer.

Pierced primers are typically an ammo problem and indication of extremely hot loads. Do you have any other pressure signs in the brass?

I don't load on the clock. It's recreational/therapeutic for me.

Lowers can't be sold to buyers under 21. That's a federal thing.

Yep. Coated bullets should run $0.06-0.07 for 115gr 9mm.
