Changing sights is possible but not so easy. I have a red dot on it with the medium riser and it cowitnesses just above the front sight post.

I just bought one. Should be fine for shooting at the range. Haven't shot it yet but I've changed out the handguards and grip. But, since I have no other AR to compare it to, I wouldn't be able to give an objective review even when I shoot it.

Seems they took your mag out of the store because they test fired the rifle. That is cool. That did not have your magazine when you picked up your rifle. That is not cool. They offered to return your magazine the next day. That is cool. Mistakes happen. What is meant by to the range, or worse? What is worse? Does the missing magazine imply your rifle was used in some nefarious operations? I don't understand why you would feel this way. Report to what officials? What would you report? Who are the officals? Your mag was returned a day later than promised and you're out your time and gas. When I first read this post a couple days ago I thought that the OP would have calmed down by now.

Did you read about the case in Buffalo where a guy just got a new wireless router, no password and some neighbor downloaded child porn? Federal agents executed a no-knock warrant with assault rifles and full 9-yards. It was over the top. I can see sending in SWAT if the suspect is known killer or reasonably believed to be dangerous but busting down a guy's door for child porn and it wasn't even the right guy? Not that I'm in any way condoning child porn as those perverts should rot in prison but the SWAT team seems unnecessary.

Paradoxically, in the real life situation, the unarmed person lives and the armed person dies. Most replies here say they would shoot (and be killed by the FBI). Right answer, wrong outcome. Just like playing poker and being scared you're being bluffed, you'll pay off all the bets when folding is the better course of action. bottom line, there is no guarantee of your safety.

I use whatever is the cheapest brass ammo I can find for the range. I use the hollow point stuff they sell at Walmart. I think they're Hydro shocks. Never shot the HPs yet. Guess I should try a magazine of them to make sure they work. I'm not too worried about it.

A) You assume it's a bad guy with chain saw. You shoot. FBI shoots back. Kills you. Maybe your wife, too. B) You assume it's incompetent FBI. They pay to fix your door. Life goes on. Better to wait for full target identification.

Not just NJ, that's how all laws work...

And copy of UPC code. Not sure if that means a copy or if you need to cut out each UPC code from each box.

Gander Mountain is running a sale with $5 rebate on Federal. $15 for 525 rounds after rebate. $5 shipping no matter the quantity. No limit on number of rebates. This stuff runs great in my 15-22. Gander also has the Winchester M22 ammo for $35 after rebate for 1000 rds. I ordered two boxes of this. Never tried it before. http://www.gandermou...=linkconn&lct=s

First denial was not in best interests and they mentioned the disorderly persons statute I was convicted of. The second denial after expungment was not in the best interests based on past criminal background.

"Not in the best interests of society". I filed the paperwork and represented myself in court.

It's a bit late and your reply to my post has me confused. I'm not endorsing or condoning a warning shot. I didn't even talk about warning shots. I think they are stupid. The only rebuttal to your post that I will make since I agree with most of it is to add the "reasonable person". Given the situation in your house with an intruder, a reasonable person must feel threatened. You may or may not feel threatened but it has to be reasonable. I wish I could find the GFH videos of this training on this. I saw a couple on the internet a month or two ago. One was a drunk guy that wondered into your house lost and drunk and disoriented. That seemed to be an example of an intruder that you couldn't shoot just because he was an intruder because he wasn't threatening. The point of my post is that in real life you might have to deal with an intruder that is street smart and knows the laws of NJ and hopes you do too and won't shoot him in the back. Guy coming at you, easy decision. Guy jumping out your window easy decision. Guy breaks down crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't shoot me. I got kids to feed." Maybe it's an act and he's got a knife or maybe it's not an act and he's not threatening you.

I thnk you are misunderstanding things. I didn't read the thread where people asked you to post the form but there are good folks here that are working to bring all the local PDs into alignment and conformance. They want these forms so that they can approach the local PDs and get them to change their policies. People will surely believe that there are PDs that don't follow the rules laid out by NJ State. Secondly, it irritates me that too many of the gun forums turn into a **** fest that if you shoot an intruder in a life or death situation in your home you'll be tried in court and most likely wind up in prison or spending $100,000 in legal fees to save yourself when no one can present a court case where this actually happening to anyone that followed the laws of his state. People envision either the intruder is coming at them with a weapon or the intruder is jumping out a window. In reallity, it is probably not so clear. That intruder training class from GFH looks pretty intense if you get a chance to watch some of the videos.

That is not an NJ legal shot. If you fear for your safety from an intruder in your house in NJ then you may use lethal force if needed. I think we need to stop spending so much time debating something is extremely unlikely to happen and even more unlikely that we remember fancy legal shenanigans. From what I've read, even trained LEO can't think straight and just react in these life and death situations. It's not that the firing of a warning shot is good or bad, it's that lying about what happened is bad. If you get caught in that lie, it will put all of your statements under suspicion.

Not to put you on the spot but can you share some of these well documented cases?

Tell me about yourself can go from a difficult question to an easy question if you practice. Sometimes I'll ask that just to see how the person answers it. If they reply with an obvioulsy practiced speech I figure they are responsible and diligent. Plus, it gives a chance to talk just about anythng they want to.

When I interview people I want them to talk and let me know their knowledge and personality. Hate it when they give short answers that might technically answer the question but don't give me enough information to make a decision.

To wrap up my original thread now that I see it back. In summary: I applied got denied, expunged, reapplied, got denied again, appealed to superior court and the judge granted my appeal. I had my permits in hand 2 weeks after the hearing.

Someone must have hacked the Wombat's account. Blksheep.....? Is that you? Maybe a nice .357?

I read that article a year or two ago. Still bought 4 Smiths.

I consider the slide racking on a magazine insert to be a feature. I love this grip: http://www.hoguestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=666_691&products_id=7330 It's not just a sleeve but locks in place and takes the place of the palm insert. Makes the grip about a medium to large but feels great.

hmmm, I did get a midway catalog and I've never bought anything from them.

I like my M&Ps. Didn't mind the Glock but liked the M&P a little better, especially in .45.
