Maintenance is and always will be center stage of firearms. I mean every one would love a gun that never jams up no matter how dirty. But the fact is, and always will be, anything mechanical needs proper maintenance. i would love a car that never needed its oil changed, and so fourth, but its fundamental to the proper functioning of the engine. That said, every gun needs some form of maintenance, and the idea behind the M9 is that you can field strip and clean it with the push of one button and a tooth brush. The question is not if a gun will jam or have issues, but rather what makes up for it. Accuracy? load count? ergonomics? Personally i think it is good practice to keep anything mechanical well maintained no matter what. I also believe the cracking of slide was a design fault since fixed. They wound up relieving stress points on the slide allowing it to flex in certain areas, this is why the firing pin hole by the hammer has a cut in it.

If he has p2p's for the original pistol then its fine. The other way around is illegal. You are taking a pistol and modifying it to be a rifle, taking off the mods just leaves you with what you started with. Now if someone purchased a complete kit w/ pistol, and then de-modded it back to pistol u would be in trouble, at least in NJ. Federally speaking i don't think it matters unless you take a production rifle and convert it to pistol.

This is what i'll probably end up with when i get into rifle loads.

some/most Officers take great offense when a card is turned down, i've seen the pissing matches first hand over no front plate tickets. However, insults will get you no where no matter what. We're not talking about downsizing offenses were talking about neglecting them all together. Also the discretion of the officer when presented with a PBA card/shield will always take priority over the offense, i've personally been a apssenger in a car traveling 90mph out of the Lincoln tunnel pulled over, pba cards presented and a have a nice day. I commend officers who look at them as nothing more then a piece of paper. The fact is if an officer turns down a card, he will most likely get a phone call of some sort asking why he gave the ticket... as if he's supposed to just let people break the law.

Am i the only one that didn't feel a thing? i feel left out.

I'm really not sure, i know it's a mix of something one of them being the main ingredient making up about 50% of the incendiary tip. Up just found something.. http://www.nighttiger.net/chemical-analysis-of-firearms/incendiary-bullets.html looks like there are many possibly effective options in the creation of API rounds. And that's not even including the He charge found in the mk211 Looks like there are three elements to the MK211 the incendiary tip, the HE charge, and then zirconium powder around the tungsten projectile... Im just sitting here trying to imagine what a 20mm Mk211 style projectile could doo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raufoss_Mk_211 Not sure if this is it, but its the closest description i could find to what im talking about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_BMG#Military_cartridge_types and here is a list of them. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8733668854193756605 Video is blurry as hell, but i shows it shooting through man hole covers Hebus!!

The military, lol. If you have never seen them before, they rip through tanks and ricochet inside the passenger compartment, like a hot knife cutting through butter. They literally burn their way through armor turning it into molten metal. I'm trying to find a video of a demo, but can't seem to find any. I forget which show i saw them on either the military channel or discover, weaponology maybe? The cool part about them is that they dont push through armor, which results in the back of the armor being blow out, they literally cut through it, the exit hole looks almost identical to the entry hole. I believe they are still considered API, but on steroids.

Ok, I retract previous statement, that thing is insane.

With magnesium tip .50 cal bullets what is there even a need for an anti-material weapon? Those will blow a hole through just about anything..

Guaranteed supervised co-pilot...to what extent? i would assume its nothing like waterfest at e-town when they let you go to town on the parking lot track. I hear the track there isn't good and difficult and mistakes are costly.

If i had to guess, we will probably see this thing around Dec. Jan. if all goes to plan. They would have released a date if it were going to come out in the next 2 months, we havnt even herd anything about production yet. Plus, even when it is released it probably isn't going to hit store shelf's right away like most guns.

+1 As far as i know, there is no paper in NJ that says i am allowed to own any particular weapon. Not to mention there is no way in hell i will invite anyone into my house while i open my safe, and there is no reason to even give them that info, just say your going into the house to get your paperwork, which isn't even necessary. My guns go in the trunk and no one gets access to there either, just because you have guns in the vehicle doesn't give the cops the right to see them. I mean what you expected to take 30 mins out of your day to show the cops all your guns on you and all the paperwork needed to acquire them... seems like a stretch of power to me. All they need to know is that your not a prohibited person and fall under exemption.. Maybe give the officer a test, ask him about some of the firearm laws in NJ, whats the point in divulging all this information to them when they don't even know what to do with it. Am i going to give access to my trunk if i know the LEO has no idea what to do with what he finds? or will i be more prone to let him see them if he can show he knows what hes looking at and what do with that info... If a cop cant tell me what the AWB laws are, its pretty stupid to show him your AR rifle.

lol. I've seen these before, but then again i'm an R/C guy. These are for indoors only, and kinda takes away the fun when you think about all the fun things you could do to people with it outside...

Keep in mind the pistol is not illegal, you can own anyone of those, the magazine is illegal.

I'm not sure how bad the dings are, and at what point there un-salvageable, but rifle ammo gets re-sized from the inside out.

Are replicas even illegal? Guns that shoot blanks cant actually shoot anything, from what i recall the chamber is designed so that it can properly cycle blank rounds.

Painters Tape and Vaseline can go a long way when painting something, you can fill in the holes for the pins with vaseline and tape off anything you dont want to paint like where the upper meets the lower. The trick is to prep as much as you can and then clean all the surfaces you intend to paint. This ensures you dont end up messing with the fitment of the pins and the upper and lower. You could always go back after painting and reem out the holes and sand where there upper meets the lower, but i find that doing the hard work first is easier and less hassle.

Ahha, that was actually pretty entertaining..

maybe instead of using this on US streets they could put one of these at every major cross road from mexico...

Dammit, i read 1911 and got all excited i didnt even read what was under it. LMAO, jokes on me.

Where is this said Beretta 1911?

I am Soo Jell'n all over this thread.. hopefully by October I'll have something to contribute to this thread.

What handgun is banned in NJ? I'm not sure what your saying about them being legally purchased, maybe i'm missing something... Not sure about the NICS check, but it looks like you dont need one.

I've always wondered this.... I have always reasoned that an BB gun is a pump rifle and doesnt have an internal mag limit. I've seen CO2 rifles that are semi-auto, but they have 8 or 6bb holders(forget which), kinda like a full moon clip.
