Ordered my first AR
Well worth the wait, it is an excellent rifle. I just threw an BCM LW 14.5in barrel on mine. depending on which model you got it will feel a little heavy due to the barrel, it not a gov. profile, but goddamn is it accurate for a 16" and will take way more abuse. I went with the eotech mount on mine since i put an eotech on it, but the carry handle would have been my first choice had i not had the optic already. I also had mine built with the A2 operator stock-non adjustable.

Recent killing of N.Y. man serves as another injustice in America
The issue with this is that by pushing the button, you basically dialed 911. Cops aren't going to show up at your house and just leave once they get a call. They want to make sure that everything is indeed OK. He could have had a gun to his head by some robber or something, you really never know. They just wanted to confirm the call was a mistake, sounds like a lot of confusion followed and who knows what went down, certainly could have been handled better based on the report.

I know you cant see it from here but this is what the USA looks like
"Fred Solop, a Northern Arizona University political scientist, said the incidents in New Hampshire and Arizona could signal the beginning of a disturbing trend." The Horror, it's just too disturbing to think of a man exercising his RIGHTS.

Calibration Weight
Big thanks to tommy for putting my mind at ease. The calibration weight was within spec. and the scale is working extremely well. It's repeatability and accuracy is spot on as of now, i will keep my eye on it and make sure it doesn't loose accuracy. I do like the fact it has a lifetime warranty, through my weigh, since scales are know to take a dump some time after use. In any event, big thumbs up to everyone in the community, i have generally stayed on here for my reloading help due to the attitude all of you guys show, which is bar none. I have visited some reloading sites and they are not noob friendly in the least. If i asked this question on one of those sites i would have gotten 10 responses on how great their beam scale is, which doesn't help me in the least...lol.

Wherer does everyone buy their powder and primers?
Just put in an order for 8lb's + 4k primers last wend. delivered yesterday. Powder valley gets a thumbs up, just make sure you send your license to them after you order, it takes 2-3 days for them to process your order since its a manual system. I also ordered 200 bullets and 2 hornady one shot cleaner, all came in one box under one hazmat fee. So i could have squeezed more actual hazmat material in there and had them shipped the non hazmat stuff separate. I think i'm set for a very long time. And i can get more primers locally they are just a bit more money. 30 bucks for 1k primers is a great deal. and $109 for 8lb's of titegroup. I thought it wasn't too smart getting so much poweder i've never used before, but worst case scenario i can sell some if i don't like it, or just hold onto it and use it for a rainy day, i wanted the 4lb option but it was sold out, and 1lb wasn't worth the hazmat fee. Right now, powder valley has a lot of stock.

Most likely not getting a firearm in NJ - I'll wait until I move out of state
The thing is.... i wouldn't put this past something a NJ municipality would do. The responses do seem a bit ridiculous, cause i would flip a serious sh*t if they pulled this on me, but i could see it happening.

Has Political Correctness gone too far?
WTF!!!! My gripe with this is people taking things far to literal. The mural is obviously just showing how the end result of the mans life is family..... that's it. What ever you consider family in your own opinion can be taken away from that, people are just dumb and have no idea how to look at the big picture. Obviously when people have predetermined feelings about something they become very narrow minded, but this is just plain dumb.

Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin shooting
Since i dont know anything material enough surrounding the case, we don't know if they actually have enough to get a conviction. If they they think they have enough to charge him, then by all means do so. Even if they were on the fence about whether or not they could get a conviction i would rather them try, even if they know it could go either way. But if they know they cannot remove reasonable doubt, i find it to be nothing more then a huge waste of time and money.

Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin shooting
After a day or 2 you would be able to tell. Postmortem bruising does occur, but it is much slower in revealing itself and of course not nearly as noticeable as a bruise a living person would get. Since blood stop flowing, you don't get color dis-figuration that is commonly associated with bruising, Black and blue, but under a UV light, you should be able to see an increase in cell deterioration, which is why it takes longer to show. This is actually how ME's tell if a wound was created pre or post mortem. Most cells in your body continue to live well past you die, your brain cells are generally first to go because of the amount of oxygen they require. We wouldn;t be able to transplant things like hearts if this wasn't the case. What bothers me is that we even have info from the ME, this is material that should not be released to the public until after the trail. It could be completely wrong, as no one in the public has a copy of the report, so to even start to speculate on what is in the report is just plain dumb.

Zimmerman to be charged in Trayvon Martin shooting
Since we still don't know anything more then we did before he was charge.... I really hope there not doing this just to pleases the masses. There is a serious amount of doubt surrounding the charge, i would be pissed if they charged him and wasted all of this money when they know they wont get a conviction.

Religion in Schools
please read Everson v. Board of Education This is one of MANY rulings, but the most well known AND took part here in NJ. The 1st ammendment is design to protect religious freedom, it is not about separation of church and state which has been broadened using supreme court rulings and the ideas Thomas Jefferson laid forth. Separation of church and state does not come down to a simple excerpt from the 1st amendment, it is much more complicated, however the idea is simple. I could easily sit here and copy and paste the 2nd amendment and tell everyone they can carry a gun based on what it says, that's basically the reasoning you just gave me. We all know that to be not true.

Bullet Set-back?
Make sure you stack your ammo correctly as well. One direction provides support via the tray, the other way and your bullets take all the pressure.

Calibration Weight
Does anyone have an F1 or E2 20g weight in northern NJ? I'm not about to spend 75 bucks on one and i want to calibrate my F2 that i'm finding questionable, it seems to be over weight by about .02grams so i could always take a little off but i want to make sure first. Since .02grams is about .3 grains it can make a difference. Both my old jennings scale and the my new gempro both read out 20.02 so i don't think it s a coincidence they are both off the same amount. I may bite the bullet so to speak and buy an e2, but if i can essentially make the f2 more accurate using an e2 i would like to. Unfortunately, no matter what the weight is, pricing goes by class. So i cant buy a cheap 1g e2 to see if it hits the mark, cause they cost almost the same as a 20g... I also dont want to spend 70bucks to find out the weight i have was relatively spot on.

Introducing CCI Quiet-22 LR
Are you worried about sound? That's the real question. I feel like this is one of those rounds you would use to shoot the chipmunks eating your strawberries in your back yard with out p.o. the neighbors.

Religion in Schools
The point of separation of church and state is to provide equality of religious freedom by having the government not interfere with religion. Which means those who do not believe in god are granted the same freedoms as those who do and respectively amongst each other. In a nut shell, you either acknowledge every religion or lack there of, or you acknowledge nothing. Handel's Messiah has no business being in a public school, unless of course you plan on singing a song from every single religion, and even still what do you do for the non-believers. You either incorporate everyone, or no one. It's not about removing religious reference, its about being fair to everyone equally. If i dont believe in god, it is not fair to me, to have to say god in the pledge of allegiance, and thus it is pushing religious ideology onto me. It's not a big deal to me, because there are better things in my life to worry about, but the fact still remains. When it comes to public schools and national "anthems" we should project the idea of religious freedom by, you guessed it, leaving religion out. You cant possible say we have religious freedom, when particular religions are imprinted in theses things.
