The ultimate oxymoron

I'm just glad he left the fifth stage off the overall score...

Thanks Iggy. See you there!

Got an email from PSA last night. Mags will be here Monday. Also, while I was cleaning the upper I noticed a nice little surprise. I ordered the black bolt but received the stainless one. The collar is black but the rest is stainless.

Welcome

Back in February when I took my FL/UT CCW class, the LEO doing the finger prints told me NJ was going to go with a photo ID good for pistols and long guns. Of course, until I see it with my own eyes, it's just a rumor. While it's not the right way, it is better than what we have now.

Pick one up anyway. It will make a nice winter project for you.

The Blackdogs are great mags but, they don't activate the CMMG bolt hold open adapter. For future reference, they are actually cheaper directly from Blackdog. http://blackdogmachinellc.net/AR15-.22-conversion-full-body-short-15-round-magazine.aspx

A little pricey but, built like a tank. I have the XL, just as tough as a Pelican. Shop around for a better price though. http://www.lapolicegear.com/plano-aw-pistol-case.html

My upper came today! Just got done neutering it. All I need is a mag to try it out. Haven't had a chance to pick up a Primary Arms red dot so, I'll have to make due with the Aimpoint for now.

PM'd

My CMMG .22 upper is arriving today. I'd like to take it out for a function check and to get it sighted in. Unfortunately, PSA is still processing my mag order (eight days so far). Does anyone have a CMMG or Blackdog mag they would sell or even let me borrow?

Almost to purdy to shoot...almost. Very nice!!!

Same varmint

If you do decide on a .22, take a good look at the M&P 22 and the GSG 1911-22. Both are full size and loads of fun.

It is the same size. The main difference is that the 22 slide is not stainless steel If you try to force the sight in, you could ruin your slide. I did have to file the sight slightly and then it slid right in. Green LocTite is a gap filler, not a thread locker and seems to be doing a great job. I have about 1000 rounds through it since putting the Dawson sight on and all is well at this time.

I'll bookmark that just in case. I ordered one of their other M&P FO sights and put it in with green loc-tite. So far, no problems.

I believe he is talkin about .177 air powered pellet gus, not airsoft. Big difference, as a kid, I had a pellet gun that fired lead pellets at 1200fps.

That's where I got mine. Excellent service at EBS!!

At that price point, the GSG 1911-22 comes in under budget. The Colt/Umarex just over. Also the M&P 22 is a great .22 pistol, that's what I went with.

Please keep in mind that pellet guns are considered firearms in NJ. .177 or 50cal, same penalties. Although a 50 on a groundhog would be a sh*t load of fun.

Looking for pouches to hold 4 - 6 AR mags. Injection molded or Nylon. Injection molded prefered.

The M&P triggers do have alot of pre travel, that's normal. The Pro trigger is somewhat better, smoother than the standard M&P. If you are happy with the trigger the way it is, great. If you find you don't really like it after putting a few hundred rounds down range, Apex Tactical makes several trigger kits for it. What is the primary purpose for the gun? Competition, home defense, range fun?

I ended up going with the CMMG .22 upper. I was all set to buy the M&P but, I did have that NJGF lower sitting around. Upper should be here this week.

I have put a few together. Some I just built the lower and a couple I built the upper as well. They really are pretty easy, especially after the first one. Nino, I'm guessing you built the upper yourself? I have looked at a few 9mm complete uppers and they are pretty expensive.
