CZ 75B vs Beretta 92
Beretta has been stepping it up lately with their modified 92's from Wilson and Lagdon. The models aren't cheap, but they are cheaper than upgrading a stock 92. Obviously they cost more then a CZ, but they are worth it. If you didnt like the 92 grip, then try and get a hold of a vertec.... if you still dont like it then I guess there is your answer.

Beretta 92G Elite LTT - experience & opinions?
If you go the LTT route, make sure at a minimum you add on the trigger job, not sure why they even offer it with out. I would even add the NP3 finish because why not make a smooth finish even better?

Beretta 92G Elite LTT - experience & opinions?
The Beretta forums are raving about the LTT elite, some guys saying its one of the best 92's they've every owned. I don't believe it's anything more that an langdon tactical trigger job though, and you can get 90% there with their trigger in a bag product. The FCG parts are polished, the springs are lightened and the skeleton hammer. IMO its better than the wilson... the trigger is better(with options) and the slide overall is lighter. Now, with all that said, i just ordered a M9A3 special edition 2-tone, lol... Why? because i can polish all those parts myself, put in the same lighter springs, and WC trigger...

China, Russia Building Super-EMP Bombs for ‘Blackout Warfare’
I have a tri fuel kit on mine and could never get it to start on LP or NG without the starter. Starts on a single pull with gasoline. From what I read, it's hard to get the right air mixture, and turn the motor over fast enough.. most guys had to install longer pull cords and repetitively pull the cord with out stopping.

China, Russia Building Super-EMP Bombs for ‘Blackout Warfare’
Food runs out for most people in 1 week. Can more than 10% of the population find their own food their after? Remember, there will be NO FEMA. They will be feeding the chumps in government hunkering down..

China, Russia Building Super-EMP Bombs for ‘Blackout Warfare’
You can't hand crank a propane generator, you need a battery powered starter.

China, Russia Building Super-EMP Bombs for ‘Blackout Warfare’
We are on borrowed time, I bet a solar EMP hits earth before any of this nonsense takes place. And those diesel generators.... lol. If you think an EMP could be that powerful a generator will be the first to go with its copper windings, and most likely grounded to your homes electrical system. They are literally powered by creating magnetic fields.

If It WereYou... A “WWYD” Question
Is this to make money? Or to establish a skill few have? I have to laugh at current gunsmith trends. I learned how to cerakote at about the cost to do a single firearm, and I learned how to stipple at a fraction the cost. Anyone who can focus on learning a new skill can do these things quickly. A lot of these "upgrades" for guns like Zev products, are marginal upgrades. In some cases the are even problematic with compatability.. they are not "custom" imo. On the other hand creating a firearm from the ground up is entirely different, but lets also consider it would take years to make a name for yourself to get enough customers to make $. I'm limited in knowledge, but a bolt gun not only gives you incredible diversity, but it should be much easier to complete to desired tolerances. Aside from turning out a long barrel which is probably the hardest part. The other issue is whether or not your machines are capable of the tolerances you seek.

PSA: 16" Mid-length upper with Nickel BCG - $279 Free SH
IMO, a cheap AR can run reliably provided everything is in spec, but somethings need considering. It must be tested for cycling, like any gun! Second, it requires quality in the most often failed part, the BCG. Other then that, everything else just makes for a better shooter.

Partial Receivers
Constructive possession is a law in reference to possession of a prohibited device and in this case if the to be "assembled" firearm is legal to possess, there isn't really an issue. I believe this is settled in case law. This is why NJ made the law clear as day in reference to assualt weapons. Can that be applied to manufacturing? Case law never went that far. Well, that is where the new law comes in play, because they knew they can't charge someome with "intent" to manufacture A legal gun. How do you prove intent? So they just made "parts" readily manufactured illegal, and the idea was to ban 80% lowers. They did this effectively, and then some. With NJ gun laws it's a moot point, but it's interesting for the NFA owners in free states.

Walking Dead...things that annoy me
I actually just recalled watching up to season 4, damn I need to finish the last season. I did enjoy the show. TWD was too stupid for me. I have no idea how these people survived even the first month.. I couldnt keep watching once Negan entered the scene, the bad guys were the only believable survivalists.

Is that show still on? I completely forgotten about it after the second season.

Why not? It's legal in most states to complete your own firearms. I know a guy right in PA with a small machine shop that a couple friends used to mill out 80% lowers. Not a bad way to learn how to operate a mill either. If for no other reason than knowing you legally told NJ to go fck itself.

Honestly, is there even a difference per the law? The law never establishes intent, it simple states if you have the parts to complete an assualt weapon, it is considered a complete assualt weapon. But the law in question here is Murphys new ghost gun ban, which ONLY bans incomplete recievers that can be readily manufactured into firearms.

FAIK, it is 100% illegal to own a 80% receiver in NJ now. There is no such thing as constructive intent in NJ unless you are referring to a assualt weapon. I also don't believe the new magazine law clearly indicates the difference between magazine parts and an assembled mag. It only refers to modified mags.

Stag arms nightmare
I don't see a problem with them saying, "we are closed for the week due to shot show" or an indication that service is limited. But to say you will handle something, and then don't, and then blame it on something else is a problem.

Tax returns....
I was curious, and now that this thread popped up.. Can me and the wife file separately, and each claim 10k in SALT? Of course we wouldnt claim the same deductions twice. I can file the property tax cause my state taxes are cheaper, and she would just deduct her own state taxes.

5 People Killed at Florida Sun Trust Bank by 21 Year Old Guy
Its a pretty futile attempt to place blame on something for the psychopathic tendencies of a person. At the end of the day, they never developed empathy, whether it was early childhood or in their genes. This isnt about something that makes people psychopathic... these are not people that are "made" by losing a sense of emotion, they are people who literally never developed it at all from extremely early in life. A video game, literally, cannot make someone a psychopath. It can desensitize someone to violent acts, but it will not make a person loose an emotion they have already developed, especially something like empathy. If someone has a developed sense on empathy, it is nearly impossible for them to play a video game with this "fantasy" like behavior of actually killing people. You would have to already want to kill people for that to be true. Your typical criminal is a sociopath, which has been widely understood as an early childhood environmental issue. Not necessarily broken families, but the lack of nurture one receives. Hard to care about other people when no one ever cared about you. These are anti-social disorders, so it makes extreme sense why they would spend a lot of time playing video games. But MILLIONS of videos games are sold a year: https://www.statista.com/statistics/321374/global-all-time-unit-sales-call-of-duty-games/

SCOTUS agrees to hear 2A case from NYC
That depends ENTIRELY on how they phrase their opnions, if they rule in our favor. If they say that the government cannot restrict any transport of firearms other then to government property, that is a win. If they claim that there may not be restrictions in the manner a firearm can be transported, that is also a win... Thats obviously a shot in the dark, and obviously a best case outcome. You've also established constitutional carry at that point, not that im holding my breath.

20%+ sodium chloride in aqueous. They basically just dissolve road rock salt so it spreads evenly on the roads and doesn't get kicked off.
