The ejector/slide stop on the M41 is one piece. It simply drops into the frame on the left side and is held in place by the little flat spring. No fitting should be required. The extractor or ejector spring in the slide may need to be replaced if you are experiencing faulty extraction.

Overkill on an extended choke? (Not really, but this Metro Gun barrel extension exists.)

Agreed on the lack of evidence of Republican campaigning. They are months behind Murphy.

If the NRA claims more than 5 million members nationally, imagine the percentage that come just from New Jersey. I often wonder about that.

Briley's Helix can double as a "tin squid" in a pinch.

Maybe the free play in New York's Central Park inspired this man? http://therightscoop.com/video-new-york-production-company-murders-trump-on-stage-major-sponsors-pull-out/

$250-$300. Barrels today are hard to find, particularly slug & VR models. I've seen them go for more than the gun.

There is no castle doctrine when protecting your home or farm from a bear. Document the problem with F&W by calling them. If they deem it necessary, they'll put a trap on your land and relocate the bear elsewhere. To report a nuisance black bear, call the DEP's 24-hour, toll-free hotline: 1-877-WARN DEP (1-877-927-6337).

Migratory Game Bird Act of 1916, various state game laws limiting total capacity to 3-shots resulted in the need for a "plug." To think that Remington got a patent for a wooden dowel too: https://www.google.com/patents/US2635378

The plug needs to be installed only when pursuing game. (No one plugs their .22 rimfire magazines on rifle ranges on WMA land; correct?)

The fudd's are disappearing in droves. They're leaving this state, remember? Actual hunter numbers dwindle each year. The DEP's much heralded "mentor" program, now called the All-Around Buddy license, saw 38 people buy one in 2016. 38? Not exactly a resounding success. Let's see how it fares this year. Hunter fudd's are not the answer as possible saviors. They're happy with what they got, 2A doesn't enter into the equation for them.

"......all the muzzle loaders the Fudd rely on...... the shotguns with slug barrels.... .69 caliber.....and bigger....get scooped up...it will serve the 'sportsmen' right and get what they deserve for their apathy." Nah, Anthony Mauro of the NJOA will take Don Norcross on a scuba adventure, then take Stephen Sweeney out for a steak dinner and will triumph a compromise before the 11th hour. The NJOA will be heralded as the savior, and will continue to befuddle the fudd's.

The NJOA is punch-drunk with their love for Sweeney and Norcross. So long as they get a bone like Sunday bowhunting they think they are making inroads. Rather than get punched in the nose each day, they'll gladly give the schoolyard bully their lunch money. They patronize the same clown who told gunowners to "bring it on" when he embraced common sense gun initiatives. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/06/nj-state-senate-pres-to-gun-owners-initiating-recall-bring-it-on/

The .40 S&W is knocking on the cellar door where the .45GAP went.

It was discontinued from production twice. Never got to handle the second edition, so can't comment on what might have been. I sold my 30" bbl. Sporting Clays model; I wasn't a fan.

Robust action, controlled-round feed, claw extractor, long-striker fall for positive ignition, good cartridge; makes perfect sense.

The old test target that came with early Sig's was pretty unique and had a more definitive aiming point then than a traditional "black bull" and results were marked with the targeted distance. It was pretty easy to guess where your aiming point should be when using the original Von Stavenhagen sights. So many more options with sights and styles today can confuse some and muddle the results. Varying bullet weights introduce another factor to account for in the equation. random sample target:

Replace the bolt stabilizer spring and it will cure the failure to go into battery. Probably a good idea to get a complete spring kit and replace everything in the slide. Also look for wear on the bolt stabilizer. If it's worn where it engages the bolt head; replace it. Get a new gas piston as well as they tend to wear. If the slide fails to lock open look for wear on the slide or slide catch. Replace the slide catch spring while you're at it. Check for wear on the recoil spring end plate as well. If it's worn, replace it with a new recoil spring assembly.

Beautiful wood flawlessly finished and perfectly fitted to steel by craftsmen is a dying art. Another fine gunmaker on the brink of perishing: http://shootingsportsman.com/arrieta-ceases-production/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Shooting+Sportsman+Insider&_hsenc=p2ANqtz---_J-4IZKCQccWeVV9Mt5grtJ5FiiN6uNt0dnkmt60I73piyJ5efUWMuE1T8OlpzWELuw6aEtsxBcUhKVXwz_jQkONgw&_hsmi=49923785&utm_content=49923785&hsCtaTracking=d0313dce-388d-4202-bf25-ed17944ad10e%7Ce1bfa74b-f1b0-4a12-acf3-a0039f270a76 Nope, they never stooped to stock anything in plastic.

Ah, the infamous Glock to-plug or not-to-plug argument. For those with early Glock's with mags that didn't drop free, that orifice served a useful purpose for grabbing the base of the mag with the thumb to remove a stuck magazine. (It still does to this day.) Drop-free mags make that cavity a moot point for many. But someone decided that's a hole that needs to be closed and the "plug" was invented. Now if Glock can only figure out how to close the gaps between the slide and the frame because I can see daylight though mine easily. Seems dirt can get in there too. (Or maybe that's the intended design?) Seems an empty mag well is a bigger orifice to allow dirt and sock lint to accumulate when it's empty than that tiny hole beneath the trigger mechanism/ejector housing. JMHO

A couple: http://www.turkishwalnut.net/gunstocks.html http://www.wenig.com (Fred Wenig worked at Fajen) If I look hard enough I bet I can find the old Bishop and Reinhart Fajen color catalogs in my basement. They were something to look at back then. Now folks are auctioning off the old catalogs for up to $25.

DAK's for Sig's made prior to 2005.

Sig is now marketing to the masses, with replacement parts sourced for other regions of the world like Israel, Mexico and India. The allure of the old German guns is strong with me, the new ones today; not so much.

If the story of Dustin Friedland didn't galvanize the pro-gun community, and get the others thinking about self-defense; nothing will here in New Jersey. The trial has begun: http://www.northjersey.com/story/news/crime/2017/03/15/widow-recounts-fatal-short-hills-mall-carjacking-trial/99227300/
