It's legal. If you send a handgun, UPS and FedEx will insist it be sent Next Day Air. As a non-licensee, you may not ship a handgun by USPS. If you ship a handgun by USPS, you're committing a felony. If you ship a handgun by ground using UPS or FedEx, you're breaking company rules and they won't pay out an insurance claim if it's damaged or lost. Long guns may be shipped by ground without issue. What you may discover is issues with the receiving clerk. I've heard stories about clerks saying they need a copy of the recipient's FFL, long guns have to go NDA, hazmat applies, etc.

Could be worse...it could come with XS Big Dots

I happen to have one of these in 9mm on me right now. A little worked over with an APEX DCAEK, Trijicon HDs in orange, and a Storm Lake barrel.

Which is exactly why mine wears an ACOG. I don't know what to suggest other than an ACOG as the SCAR 17 seems to be a notorious killer of optics, particularly red dots.

I would argue the converse where most typical modification fall under manufacturing if done prior to the sale of the firearm.

If I get my hands on some, I'll give them a try. Walmart bulk pack Federal goes supersonic in the 9.5" barrel but is subsonic in my 22/45.

If you're going to have a pistol overnight that isn't yours, you most definitely need an FFL. You may install sights on a pistol as an 01 as that is gunsmithing provided you sold the pistol without the sights installed and the customer wants you to install them for him. It's stupid. Putting sights on a pistol and selling it isn't allowed as an 01 but you can sell the sights and the pistol to a customer on the same invoice then install it for them as a free service and that's okay as an 01. 07s are manufacturers. 01s are dealers. 07s can do everything an 01 can and then some. Yes. You can apply for an exception but they're never approved. Consider it a cost of doing business just like insurance. ATF doesn't care if you're home based or not. As long as you're in compliance with your local ordinances, and they'll check, and you have $250 and a clean background, they'll issue the license.

1. I would assume so as I still have active home-based FFLs on file 2. You would need to be an 07 FFL depending on activities such as installing parts in a stripped lower, putting uppers on lowers, etc. 01s are allowed to gunsmith but not manufacture. In most cases, if you are adding value to a firearm prior to sale, that's considered a manufacturing activity subject to marking and possibly FAET guidelines. 3. Stay on top of your bound book.

The AM15.

Best shipment of the day came in at noon: Some are old standbys, others are new to me and I look forward to trying them.

I'm waiting for Glockworx to come out with their AR lower that takes Glock mags before deciding which way to go.

My little bullet hose .22 and the spare parts carbine build went out. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the .22 to run subs reliably so I'll probably order an extra bolt to lighten and action spring to shorten. It'll be interesting to work on as I'm sure it'll be a lot of guess and check type work to make sure it'll run subs and supers reliably. The carbine got a new optic so I needed to get it zeroed.

In that price range, the TLR1 would be my recommendation as well. If cost was no object, I would pick up a Surefire X300U which is brighter and illuminates a wider area due to the shape of the reflector. I have been gradually replacing all of my Streamlight products with Surefire because a few of the non-weaponlights have flickered intermittently which has shaken my confidence in them.

9mm. Some days, I carry a 10mm or .45 but the majority of my handguns are in 9mm. My bedside setup is an M&P Pro with a threaded barrel and suppressor, loaded with 147gr HST. It's a setup that is easy for myself and my wife to use.

Laphroaig is a liquid ash tray. It's the smokiest SMS I've ever had. It's not unpleasant but it's definitely not an every night kind of drink for me. I could drink 14 year Oban or 15yr Dalwhinnie every night though. Both are so light and pleasant to drink. I'm a fan of Charbay whiskeys. The R5 was distilled from Racer 5, my favorite IPA and the S is distilled from Bear Republic Stout. It's more expensive of the two but is a much more complex but enjoyable whiskey. They're really very unique whiskeys. I'd also recommend giving the 12yr Yamazaki a try.

I'm a little surprised at the responses in this thread. Why not approach it as a teaching moment and try to help them understand the law correctly? If after it's explained, the vendor still doesn't want to do business with NJ, so be it, flame away.

Type 10 holders are Lightfield LLR Corp and Sabre Global Services LLC. The latter also holds a Type 11.

Charbay S tonight.

We should also ban cars capable of going over the posted speed limit. Or pens, paper, pencils, ink, and keyboards that are capable of producing libel.

Yep, a big part of why I like the 24E's longer reset relative to the 24C. I have accidentally bumpfired both a Hiperfire 24C and a Geissele S3G while zeroing off a bench because of what you mentioned.

I would recommend the 24E over the 24C for a bench gun. The E has a little take-up (not creep) and a slightly longer reset than the C. I've tried both and personally, I prefer the E over the C for that purpose. It's also a little cheaper. The only thing that might push you to get the C over the E is if you want a flat face trigger or if the adjustable polymer shoe is important to you. I have found that the shoe is much more beneficial for fast shooting like 3 Gun competitions.

For a bench gun, I prefer a lightweight single stage trigger like a Hiperfire with two pound springs.

It doesn't matter. They shouldn't be trying to ban any of it.

1. Seven twist or Eight twist. I'm a fan of eight twist in the AR15 because you can shoot the light varmint bullets without overstabilitizing them while still being able to stabilize the heaviest bullets that can be loaded to mag length. 2. White Oak Armament makes great barrels. 3. You can use any forged or billet A3/A4 receiver. I would go with an A4 if your barrel extension has M4 feedramps. 4. Tons of handguard choices. Quad rail vs. tubular, 1913 vs. Key Mod vs. M-Lok. Once you figure out what you want feature-wise, you can narrow down the list. Personally, I'm a fan of the Centurion CMR due to simple design, modularity, and being pretty lightweight. I'm biased because I have one on my favorite rifle and I happen to sell them. 5. M4 feedramps were Colt's suggestion to increasing feeding reliability in select-fire rifles. For a precision build, they aren't necessary. 6. A1/A2, Magpul MOE, Magpul PRS, and the Luth-AR are all good choices for this role. If you want an adjustable length of pull and cheekweld, I suggest the Luth-AR. It's lighter and cheaper than the PRS but maintains adjustability like the PRS. If you don'd need adjustability, I personally would opt for an A2. As for where you can get a lower, you can get those locally or you can buy online and have one transferred. Lowers are as cheap as I've seen them in five years so now's a good time to buy. Building the rifle is really pretty easy. Lowers don't require special tools. Uppers can be a little trickier due to barrel nut wrenches and vise block options. You are not considered to be a manufacturer if you build a rifle from parts for yourself. If you make a habit of doing it and selling them, well, the ATF and/or NJSP may not take too kindly to that.

Buy once, cry once. People spend thousands on their guns yet balk at the idea of investing in a good safe. I never understood that. Funny aside but when the BATFE was here conducting a compliance inspection, one of the IOIs noted that our primary safe actually qualifies as an explosives locker. And here I am, thinking about getting a type 10 FFL and explosives license...
