All issued Beretta M9's are made in USA, and are stamped made in USA. I think we pride our selves on using weapons we make, I've never herd of the US military buying weapons, but of course we sell to our allies. Is there anyway to piece a FAL together?

In my line of hobbies, building is so much more satisfying. And just like most of my hobbies, warranties are meaningless. I want a nice AR that i can learn on, an all a rounder type rifle, i guess you would say "middle Shelf" AR. At some point i will be building the ultimate AR for my needs, but I'm not there yet. I'm not looking to necessarily save money, just get the most out of my money. I may go with a completed rifle this time around, so i can learn the gun and do more research on what needs to be improved for the building of the second AR. I just need some opinions on where to start cause when you search for this stuff, endless and i mean endless amounts of info comes up. I was originally gonna go with a bushmaster or M&P complete, but once i got through reading all there reviews i was thinking i might step up the quality, besides everyone has those guns. I looked at the colts and some stags, and there looking like possible options. I like the LWRCI's but there out of my price range. Maybe a rock river, ahhh so many to choose from, my head is spinning.

I thought it folding stocks were illegal, if its true that adjustable stocks are illegal that seems pretty dumb, considering you can pin it at what ever position you want. Either way i would rather have the collapsible stock and pin it.

Ok, so the title pretty much explains it all. I have no experience with this but have for the most part been reading up on what i need to complete the build. I am a fan of the "suppressor" look, so i need an upper with a muzzle break. And i would like a collapsible stock, as well as an upper with a rail for sights. Now since i'm new to this im not sure what is good and what is not, and while im looking to build cheap, i'm not looking to buy cheap stuff. I thought a good place to start is with a bushmaster complete lower, and when i got to looking at uppers the confusion set in. I would like an upper that is easy to clean, and i saw some of the new uppers with the quick release for the gas system, so i would like to utilize a system like that which doesnt require you to strip the upper to clean the system as well as a free floating tac rail. Any help is appreciated, i would say that price is not really a concern becuase i will be piecing it together, but i would say im looking to spend about 1300 for the rifle, not including optics and accesories. This shouldn't be hard for me to build, a friend has a workshop with all the tools and equipment.

I'm sorry for your hardship... What the hell is a SS# for? I guess nothing....Its not like you guys have the same #... no one has the same number... regardless if your name is the same, and you share the same BD. I have a hard time believing they gave you guys the exact same DL# too, considering your permanent residence is completely different, and you need to give them your "unique" SS#.

If you were to bolt it into hardwood floors, then i would suggest bolting the back of the safe to a stud in the wall. I didn't want to put my safe in the basement, so i wound up bolting to hardwood, bolting it to the wall in 2 locations, and adding an addition 150lb's to the floor of the safe. Me and a couple friends...6 of us to be exact, moved a 1,200 pound pool table last week. So i'm now a firm believer that anything is move able with the man power.

If we weren't talking about a little bit of wacky tabbacky i'd be inclined to agree.

In the case with my friend, his rights were also violated. It's an interesting story, but to make it short, the cops were called to his house regarding a fight between him and his GF. When they got there the GF was outside, and he was sitting in his living room. The cops walked in the house with out permission, since the GF did not live there she had no authority to let them in, and they found a Glass pipe smashed on the ground, and bits an species of pot scattered on the floor. They bagged and tagged it. I told him to fight the charges on the grounds of unlawful entry with out a search warrant, when they went to court the first time, you always want to hear what the prosecutor has to say first, he offered that if he stayed out of trouble for 6mo. he would have to come back to court, and the charges would be dropped. When your offered a deal like that, there is no reason to fight the system when it working in your favor, regardless of how you feel about them violating you.

I would wait for the probationary period to be over, most cases, or at least the ones I've seen regarding this exact same situation, usually have the charges dropped after the 6mo period if you play like a good boy. Its funny, they drag your a** to court, say they wont do anything for 6mo, if u are on good terms after 6mo, charges are dropped. So they don't actually expunge anything. However, if u are asked if u have ever been arrested you have to say yes, regardless if you are charged or not. Like i said if they play the 6mo. rule, its not actually probation, since your not sentenced and the case remains open, i actually bailed my friend out for this same type of arrest and had to wait almost a year to get my $$ back, and once the 6mo was over, he went to court, showed he had stayed out of trouble and the charges were dropped. I wouldn't bother with trying to fight for your rights, in something like this it wont work out in your favor. The best thing u can do is have a good lawyer fight for your integrity, as that's all they really want to know is whether or not to give some random guy a hard time with a little pot, or use it to add another notch to a strain on society. The courts favor remorseful people, not the ones who go in thinking they're going to get one over on them, like they got one over to begin with. You would need concrete evidence of a violation of your rights for them to even consider it. Since you may already have a way out with the 6mo stay clean rule, i would stay with that, its a sure bet so long you stay clean.

I purchased a stack-on safe from walmart, 99c shipping on top of a great deal. They didnt "install" it for me, but they carted it into my garage. I got the 10 long gun safe, 150lbs, me and a friend easily moved it up a set of stairs. I just checked there website, looks like they jacked up the prices since i purchased mine, i spend a flat $300 for the safe, its now up to $389.

The only issue i see is buying ammo.

++++++++++++++1000000000000 trillion billion! Call the police, lock your self inside. Point the gun at the door, and wait for police to arrive. Sounds more like she was fed up with the guy bothering her and decided to take the matter into her own hands. The fact still remains that you need to fear for your life in order to use deadly force, she's gonna have a very hard time proving that her life was in danger.

No worries, you got 3 months on the permits, plus an additional 3 months extension if you need it.

M9a1 is a great pistol, it's my first of many yet to come. I have relatively small hands and so far it fits me very good. The shape of your hand may have something to do with it, since it has some girth to it, the grip is not wide like some pistols. If i had to say it's more of an intermediate grip size, i could see people with large hands having more difficulty with it then small.

My Beretta didnt come with jack Although i just picked up the otis elite cleaning kit, persuasion.....i need more guns to clean. I actually bought 2 New kits(got sucked into 2 really good deals) if anyone wants one at serious discount.

Skirmish up in the Poconos has a whole bunch of courses you can play on. http://www.skirmish.com/content/fields/ I know they allow airsoft, just not sure when. Personally i find airsoft more realistic. Most of the guns cost as much as the real thing, S&W makes a nice glock looking pistol its C02 blow back and i think 100 bucks, best hand gun i have seen so far. http://www.airsplat.com/Items/GP-SA-32527.htm Beware, a lot of airsoft guns are POS. If you do want to get one go with a company that is proven quality.

I think the main problem here is that people will manipulate anything to make it work in there favor, no matter what side your on. The more in writing, and in depth explanation of what your rights are, or more or less what your allowed and not allowed to do, will favor the party in the right. With out certain existing laws, it would be like you said, common sense, and as we know it, a small hand full of people have common sense, and do we allow those people with out it to take others lives into there hands, or make the decision on what is or isnt just? I would rather be told that if i shoot some one running out of my house, i can get in trouble, then have to figure that out after the fact, or have some sympathetic tart tell me i was wrong for defending myself. With out the 2Nd amendment it could be said that excessive force was used, with out an option to defend. However, at least with the amendment we have the right to defend out actions. As far as NJ is concerned you better be able to prove your life was in jeopardy before you pull the trigger.

I was always under the assumption that the mental health disclosure form was to see if you have ever been admitted into a mental health facility, and from there they would request your file. If you were admitted to a regular hospital for say a panic attack, i don't think they can request the file, since they have no way to know what the file says until they get it, i don't think they can request the file since it would also include information that is not disclosed by you, and it would breach doc-patient confidentiality. I'm no lawyer, so i would check into it. Could you comment on what exactly you mean by anxiety? that could be mean one of many things. Just a note: A couple years ago i saw a psychiatrist for anxiety, was put on medication for a month, and then was taken off it due to panic attack. I was going through a difficult time and persevered, and have not had any incidents since. There was no issue there when applying. I always wondered how exactly the figured out you mental health history, i mean they just throw your name at all the hospitals in the country and expect a response?

I was there last friday around 3:30 and the whole place was packed, go figure, i guess every one left work early to alleviate some stress lol. By the time we were done around 5:00 the slots were empty, but the store was packed. So i guess it's hit or miss but my guess would be early during the week its probably not as busy as toward the end.

What time are you guys meeting on Tuesday?

Like said, a pistol would have to be passed down to you(willed) in order for a no registration process, or purchased out of state by a non-resident who moved to NJ and brought it with him. If a gun is found in the family it must belong to someone, who ever is the eligible heir of the estate if not specifically willed, if your father dies and doesn't will it, it will go to his wife. In order for it to be legal with out registration you must be able to prove you are the beneficiary of the estate, if there are multiple beneficiaries then you would need a lawyer to split up the estate and specify who gets the pistol. I don't believe it is legal to just find a gun and keep it, however, you can have it transferred via an FFL if no one claims it. If the mother was the beneficiary of the estate and wants to give it to her son, he would have to obtain a P2P, where a private sale can be done, and she will be the seller. In any case i would keep it under wraps until the legality of fire arm is dealt with, or bring it to your PD to hold onto until you sort it out, since if it has been sitting for longer then 180 days then the heir of the firearm, if not in possession of an FID, is illegally in possession of a firearm. If you didn't want to register it, you could have the mother obtain an FID, where she could legally receive the pistol, wait for her to pass, and have her will it to you. Then you could get around the registration.

Why on earth would he log it into his books? He was supposed to ship the gun, not throw it in his inventory. The way i see it is that he was shipping a gun that was registered to you, not transferring a gun to his FFl and then shipping it. If you do end up having to pay for NICS and permits, i would make him pay for it, and throw in something extra for basically being a tart, FFL holders should know what there doing, not learn it as they make mistakes. I mean imagine if people got wind of FFL dealers f'ing up, they would only make it harder to get FFL's as if it wasn't already hard enough.

Man, if only there were some chicks like that in NJ.

Personally, I see the 9mm as an in the middle kind of round. Obviously there will be differences with in the make and model you choose to go with, but it's got kick, not to much kick. Rounds aren't cheap, but there not expensive. It's not easy to shoot, but its not hard to shoot. I feel that when starting with a 9mm, you can go up or down with different calibers, and still feel comfortable shooting. I would suggest buying what you intend to use it for, and not what people tell you to buy. I plan on getting a 22 just for the reasons Maks has outlined, but a 9mm in hand makes me feel like a man. Maybe i just wound up buying a very tame 9mm... I guess the main point everyone in trying to say is to buy a gun you won't regret and end up selling, try finding a range that rents and try them out, its probably easier to find a caliber you like and difficult to find a pistol in that caliber that suits you. Honestly, i think it might be a good idea to learn how to shoot on both. You can use the 9mm to find where your weaknesses might be and use the 22 to correct those weaknesses. I know consistency is key to learning, but shooting in both calibers might give you insight to things one or the other might not offer.

I went with a 9mm for my first gun and IMHO it was the best choice. I guess if you plan on purchasing another gun in 30 days it really doesn't make a difference tho. You def. don't need a 22 to learn how to shoot, a 9mm will get going just as good. I plan on getting a 22 just for the simple reason of economics, cheaper rounds.
