How to deal with a PITA family member?
My post was deleted.. If your step-mom inherited them... its a tough case... she can legally do what she wants with them... I'm not sure what the argument would be.. just something to think about. That's pretty messed up she would give them ALL to your half-brother.. was there a reason for that?

Primers on sale at midway
if you missed just use the e-mail notification on the web site... it sucks sometimes and can be late receiving e-mails.. but for something like this that will stay in stock for the day its works. I actually waited because a few months ago the 300 came in stock but 500 were out.. got lucky this time around.

Ever wonder what happens when 100 primers go boom in your press?
unfortunately it's not as cut and paste like that. primer sensitivity is based on both material hardness, powder sensitivity and cup design.

What is the point of a slide mounted safety/decocker
I own both a px4 compact and 92, a 1911 and p938... 2 completely different systems... The slide mounted safety/decockers rotate the firing pin housing 90 degrees, allowing the hammer to drop safely. From any position any instructor can SEE when the gun is safe. It takes little to no effort to thumb the safety up and off while unholstering the pistol. It can add an extra gripping surface while racking the slide, but i don't pinch the rear of slide to rack anyway(slingshot method). 1911 controls reverse the direction of the safety, but it is on the frame, thumb down to release safety. IMHO it's not about the design, its about what condition you want to carry the pistol... a beretta is bullet chambered with the hammer down safety on double action, a big NO NO unless you have a rotating firing block. 1911 chambered and lock and cocked, safety on, single action With both types i find easy to manipulate controls, although i do like the 1911 ergonomics better.. If the decocker was removed, i wouldn't favor one over the other.. I dont have preference over frame/slide safeties, but i do like the lock and cocked method best. 99% of the reason its up there is to prevent ND's by rotating the firing pin block.

Point me to an AR tool list
Painters tape goes a long way while installing the bolt catch.

Point me to an AR tool list
Correct. The upper vise block gives you the leverage you need to torque the barrel nut on/off, also helps with a muzzle device but that's a moot point in NJ. Everything else basically pops on or screws together. It's really a must for barrel attachment and absolutely necessary for removal. You can also get away with not using a lower block pretty easily although it may be easier to assembly with one since the castle nut requires little torque, but i have never used one and never found it difficult.

If you have no tools the bare minimum would be the armorers wrench, vice, upper vice block and a cheap set of punches. The vice and block are really only for one thing and thats the barrel. I built my AR with nothing more then those tools.

Ever wonder what happens when 100 primers go boom in your press?
Yeah, your not going to find anything out there on the amount of force required to set off a particular primer... you will however find the correlation of competition shooters and there findings in light primer strikes. Just like Alec here, who HAS to use these primers in order to get consistent primer strikes. The only real question is not which ones are easier to set off, because we have so many accounts of people having issues with light primer strikes with one brand and no problemo with another... the question is... are the primers actually softer(material) or is the explosive more sensitive? You could do an experiment to figure it out... get all 4 major companies and a couple springs for a pistol, start with the weak spring and work your way up.. You would find with out question that most primers wont go off with weak springs, but federals will.. and the data will probably become harder to conclude as you increase the spring weight. So do you believe what one person says on the line?(on-line) Or do you believe what an entire community has determined in practice? The information goes rather uncontested too..

Primers on sale at midway
I would have went in with you one week ago when i order 10k from them lolz... I had to make a quick decision to buy though because #300 go out of stock in about a day.

6 months and waiting
My PD has always, like clock work, delivered my permits in a months time.... You think Trenton discriminates the NJSP over Municipal departments? I think not.. I put in for permits this past October, had them in November.. already blew them both... There is really only one variable in the equation between waiting 3 weeks to months on end, and its the issuing department.

Midway SPP 1k or 5k going fast
ehh depends. 300 comes in every month and sells out in about a day

Midway SPP 1k or 5k going fast
Not weird, i back ordered some last week...they only take so many. They also have had a steady supply of CCI SPP and LPP and SRP.. Now if powder could catch up that would be great!

Order finally arrived 22lr ( I love Cabelas) 1/29/14
6c is probably my max, i just back ordered for 4c. Right now if i can find it for 4c i just buy it.. after this whole ordeal i will invest all of my money in .22 lr

Order finally arrived 22lr ( I love Cabelas) 1/29/14
I put an order in for a case last week at midway when they came in stock and i got the email notification well after they were sold out. NO, it is not better for .22lr, you can find it, but it might as well be OOS with the prices these people think i would pay. We'll see when the next round comes and i'll update so we can get a better idea how quickly its coming in.

Ever wonder what happens when 100 primers go boom in your press?
I have a hard time believing anyone who is into reloading would immediately fault the press for something like that. If you bothered to read the guys account of the LnL malfunction it would seem like user error. It sounded like he wasnt paying attention, well actually he strait up admits he doesn't even recall what he was doing between seating the primer and having the press explode. He couldn't even be specific about whether the case was SPP or LPP... Your a fool to think any press will prevent any of this.. Im pretty sure you could blow up every press ever made doing one thing wrong or another... There is a pretty damn good reason i only use CCI primers... people who use softer primers might want to think about alternate means of seating. You can crush primers in any press..welcome to reloading! Put your powder drop next to the feed tube...well you can put 2 and 2 together... isolate the 2 using a metal shield if your powder drop is in station 2.

Great Debate BCM vs DD
Noveske barrels are better, but that's about it... all 3 are pretty much the same... and you pay for that difference.

Open to suggestions, 2 permits to blow
S&W 625 is a .45acp revolver. What are you looking for in terms of aftermarket accessories for a handgun?

AMAZON.COM to no longer sell firearms related items.....
opticsplanet and many other stores are shopping partners with amazon... When they get the boot, i would say it's time to start worrying.. i too use prime for many firearm related stuff.

Two New ranges in North Jersey, Whippany and Wharton !!
Anythony simply stated that it makes no sense to open up another range so close to rstp... the current one IS already close. That would be a poor business model considering how many ranges popped up in the area. You would be undercutting your bottom line and creating unnecessary competition, not only with other ranges but also your own. It would be great for us because prices would no doubt drop in order to sway the public in the door. He's not worried, he's making good business decisions... no reason to create unnecessary hardships unless your trying to put everyone in the area out of business.
