Wow, that's fast as hell. I got mine three years ago and because of some an existing condition on my birth certificate, it took me awhile before things got squared away. Same story getting my passport, drivers license etc. I'm used to the extra aggravation by now. No, I'm not a Kenyan or running for POTUS.

Stay away from Garands...they are more addictive then crack or free internet porn. I love mine and wish I had the spare cash to make an excuse to buy more.

Just a FYI. I've done two camo jobs on my rifles. My first was on my Mossy 500 about 10 years ago using Bow-flage which is labeled as temporary...10 years later it still looks pretty damn good with hard hunting use in all sorts of weather. The little wear has actually made the camo look better. My most recent was on a AR where I had a CavArms lower in OD and then bought some Krylon OD and hit my quad rail, Surefire, LaRue mounts, Aimpoint and other parasites. It has seen two years of severe use and looks damn good. I did not do the barrel or the receiver. I kind of do things a little different. First degrease the hell out it. Then heat the metal up a bit to open up the pores to allow better paint penetration. Not super hot 200 - 250 is good enough. Then I get two jumper leads (wires with alligator clips) and hook on lead to the rattle can and a battery terminal (car, motorcycle, fresh lantern battery). The other jumper to the metal of the gun and the other terminal of the battery. The paint gets a slight magnetic charge to it and the metal draws the paint in like a magnet. Professional, no. Works, hell yes. YMMV. Wojo

It isn't. My understanding this is all been grandstanding and giving false hope. It is not going to go anywhere other then 2A forums.

+1 on Shade Tree. I had them work on my Jeep Grand Wagoneer a number of years ago and did right by me. Plus they are active members in the Morris County Chamber of Commerce and get a lot of thanks yous and job well done's at our meetings.

We've done drills with these and I have seen them used in public. I can tell you first hand when I was hit by a strobe, very similar looking Streamlight, it did its job. I stopped dead in my tracks and needed a couple of moments to get my bearings and be sure of my footing during night conditions. By the person blinding / strobing the BG, you can have your partner flank him real easy without them ever seeing a Good Guy getting real up close and in person into his space. Good, safe escalation of force. Can't hurt to stay you stobed them and they still drew a weapon and then you shot to stop them...so, I melted a barrel. I was on a detail and we were having problems stopping NYC traffic on a side street to get the package across the street and into their car. So one of the agents strobed a few cars and they just stopped instantly. We then hit them with our compact Surefires to keep them from moving until we cleared...about a good 15 seconds is all we needed.

Been hit by one already and have a thin white scar as a reminder, running completely across my stomach from a long time ago. It is going have to be be a BIG box-cutter to cut that deep. Neck maybe, deep thigh tissue, not so much. This is why some of us can do EP work and others can't. You can speculate on all the 'what ifs', or if you are a professional, you do your job. Risks come with the profession. Yes, I would like to have a CCW, but you can't stop working just because you don't have a gun. Many EP gigs the client doesn't want you to have a gun, even if you can carry. Trust me, I've taken plenty of 21' run lessons. And under 21', I'd rather use my hands first. Kinda hard to have someone at gun point while I'm sitting in a suit and the suspect is across the conference room table or in an HR office.

Friggin Sweet!!!

He is part of my angle. I am a NJ/NY Licensed Security guard that does EP work on the side. Mostly for a handful of clients or to help support other companies. My main gig is my company Firestorm which does Business Continuity Planning, Workplace Violence Prevention Planning, Supply Chain Vulnerabilities, Red Flag compliance and a bunch of other things. I am about to work with a bunch of executives on their vulnerabilities on a personal level as well as corporate. My other company ProActive Security is a security consulting and firearms instruction company. Because sometimes the lines get blurred between the two and that I am getting more involved with Workplace Violence, pre / during / post, I need to cover my a**. I've go martial arts skills and carry a kubotan and some other NJ compliant toys (or at least gray area) to allow me to go home to my family at the end of the day. So my CCW might be a Maglite, a pointed stick or fresh fruit (Monty Python fans will get it). I want to be covered. Because of my justifiable need (my opinion not NJ) it would also remove another element of rejection going for a CCW by having the appropriate liability insurance in place. One of my current clients who I am working with just terminated someone and they flipped out, then slashed two HR employees with a box-cutter. That stuff barely makes the local papers and is becoming increasing common. Only the big stuff makes the news. Now, I'm not going to cap someone over a box-cutter, but they going to need some serious medical attention for a crushed skull or to reattach that limb I just ripped off. Police aren't always an option doing this stuff. I need to contact Anthony on some other things and will discuss this as well. I am hosting a Survival / Disaster Training event at GFH later this month. Thanks for the feedback guys and keeping it professional. Cheers, Wojo www.firestorm.com

He has it thru GFH.

Out of curiosity, I am trying to get some quotes on being able to carry in NJ. Any idea on any underwriters? Because I can't find squat on the internet for brokers or underwriters above $250k. I would look to have it as an individual and / or thru one of my companies. Real answers please. I'm not interested in your projections on the probability ever needing it or I am wasting my time looking. I am calling Philadelphia Insurance tomorrow because they were recommended to me for another business venture and it seems they offer some unique policies. Thanks in advance for the professional replies.

300WM is a good choice. Because it is one of many .308 calibers, you can use most of your brushes and cleaning kits from '06, 308 and 300wm. I have a 300RUM and love the hell of it and would not mind having a 300wm with a collapsible stock to make it easier to transport. Keeping your M4 at the ready until you reach your hive and while you get ready for long distance diplomacy works for me. One gun is never going to work in all the environments we fight in. Having a 5.56 and the 300 should take care of about 99% of all ground based situations. I want an AR-300WM with 15 round mag's. Let's retro all those old '06 BAR's to the 300WM. . If I had to choose one platform, I'd take an M14 with an 18" barrel with a Picatinny rail for multiple optic platforms and call it a day. Just say'in.

I'm a hopeful candidate is all I am saying.

I wish I could, but my son has a football game. I might be up on Friday or Monday however.

For my M1's Full size every time H4895 - stay shy of max loads, give you op rod some extra insurance CCI Military 43 or standard 200 primers. Need to have the harder cup to prevent slam fires. Might I recommend purchasing a Gas Plug. Once you get it dialed in, your groups will reduce and you feel your op rod not slamming around as much. YMMV

TAC is a great all around powder for 308 and 223. I worked up my 223 Match load in Varget and have duplicated in TAC for POI and it is incredibility close to Varget. Meters much better being a ball powder compared to stick and is much cheaper. When I run out of my stock of Varget, I am going back to H4895 and will be buying that in bulk. H4895 and TAC are my stock it deep powders for rifle.

It is very easy to opt out of most of junk mail and phone calls. 1. Become a Life Member 2. Call / email them and asked to be taken off the lists. They will make the effort if you let them know. It is not like they won't ever call again, but you will see a significant reduction in unwanted contact.

It was a good event. I wish I could have stayed to the end. As always, new friends and contacts made.

Change of plans, I will be there introducing my gift to the cause. And leaving immediately after-wards for a 950 mile drive to be at the FL / GA border for a meeting around 5pm.

This how Argentina started. Before the people knew it, the politicians started to raid their versions of IRA / 401k's and after a couple of years, they spent just about everyone's private retirement funds. Mostly on special interest and pork.

That is what I was thinking. Plus the uber light weight and small profile would lend itself well to M1A. Of course other optics will be part of the package for my set-up, but this would be on 90% of the time. I compete Service Rifle with the AR, so hitting a zombie at 300y with a dot via 308 would be easy-peezie without magnification. Head shot would require a 3x magnifier. Speaking of magnifiers...how would this mount work with other 3x mounts? Swingers and stationary types?

I am very interested in this group buy. My upcoming M1A Scout would like one of these very much. I really like how flexible it is with a variety of NVD's...makes night ops much simpler.

I stopped in Rockaway today to check out the selection of O/U shotguns. The gun clerk (nice guy) said he expects the new one to come out this Saturday and he has no advanced knowledge of what is going on sale. I guess they do inventory and then decide what they need to push out the store to make room for new merchandise.

$500 for the first year to cover background, finger printing, yadda, yadda, yadda I could see them justifying under that Christie. And yes I would pay it. Granted they should be able to do all this stuff cheaper and by cross-referencing data bases, but this is government and NJ so forget about what you already have in 'the system".Christie is correct in having all programs stand on their own financially. However, this license should be a 5 year type and a 5 year renewal with the renewals being around $75 to $100. For me, it would mean I could do more business in other states and companies that require you to have a CCW in your home state, before the company will put you on their insurance policy to CCW for them.

Any updated flyers for Dicks? I tired searching and haven't seen anything ammo or firearms related.
