Shocker

I had a SOG Flash II (like everyone else it seems) but I recently picked up a Kershaw Knockout because of the 14C28N blade and, man, that blade takes a wicked edge. Just holding me over until I can get my mitts on a ZT0566

I got mine from eBay recently when I switched from an RCBS 3-die to a Lee 4-die setup. Prices were absurd but they're not too bad now. Amazon just kept showing OOS, 6-month shipping.

They will probably ask you to but they can't make you. When you apply for the FID they don't (shouldn't) ask if you have any guns already and there's no reason to volunteer that information. Plus if you bought your guns back when you were a NJ resident prior, they already know anyway.

Just waving off the negligence. Maybe trying to save face for his boss.

I'd be in for one as well

I know I lose my .40 brass before they see 15x, you're very diligent! I don't think there's a practical limit...if your loads are light and the brass is supported, keep going until the mouth can't hang on to a bullet very well, then set those cases aside for a lost brass match.

The difference I see between the M&P and the Glock is the M&P's sear rotates rather than translates, so there's a lobe on there that cams the striker back just a wee bit then releases it. When you drop in an Apex sear I believe it's slightly reprofiled to change that camming action. That is also why it has to be almost fully cocked because the sear can only move the striker a very small amount. Everything else appears the same between the guns although the parts are in different spots. Helpful animation: http://www.genitron.com/Basics/Interactive-Glock-Pistol you can see how the striker is caught by the sear on the forward travel of the slide, which precocks the striker

Nice picks there, alowerlevel. I saw Opeth in Philadelphia and that's always an odd show, alternating go-bezerk-death-metal with chill-out-maybe-take-a-nap acoustic.

I can dig Amon Amarth. Although I'm more of a "new wave of American heavy metal" or swedecore kind of guy. Battlecross (bonus! Old military aircraft!): http://youtu.be/miZLob1Hi4I

A few jacketed Zero's as well

I've seen some lightening jobs that use saw cuts on the upper corners of the slide rather than slotting...if you have a good saw maybe you could build a jig to hold your slide for that IMAGE SEARCH EXAMPLE those were probably done on a mill but maybe you can see what I was trying to describe In case of disaster, rumor has it that bare slides can be purchased from S&W. Although I haven't seen confirmation, plus that's subject to availability.

Ahh...thought you were drilling the bore. I know a guy that makes barrels at home but that's quite an investment in tools.

Also their website says its not playing anywhere around here. Shocking.

You drilled a barrel on a drill press? I would think you'd need a lathe

That website just calls it a "7mm hunting bullet" Search that kurzzeit word on YouTube you get a bunch of interesting vids, there's a revolver KB, a launch with blowby...I remember a glock 18 vid although I can't find that one right now.

I think you're right but, alas, I only have two.

Soooo....anybody have any 9mm Shield mags I could borrow?

Note that all loading devices will be limited to 5 rounds and stages are 15 rounds IIRC, so plan accordingly.

I've shot a Beretta 92-somethingorother that had a red dot on it as well (maybe a FastFire? I don't remember). Seems like its not super uncommon and as the sights can certainly be made to tolerate the abuse, if the mfr chose to build them that way

My 1911 probably yes (it can do 2" at 25yards), my M&P probably no. That's also assuming I have as much time as I want to line up each shot.

If you build it yourself you're going to have to buy the parts and the tools too. 1911's aren't plug-and-play the way AR's are and a lot of the tools and fixtures are unique to gunsmithing. Check out http://forums.1911forum.com/ while you're at it though, especially http://forums.1911forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18 I suggest you buy a cheaper model and just sell it later when you upgrade.

I've always been a Zero man, for handguns. Montana Gold was fine but not worth the extra $$$. I liked the sample pack of Xtreme that I tried though. For rifles I've liked Hornady in the .222 and Sierra in the .223, and that did NOT work the other way 'round.

Good. Eff 'em. Of course the greenies want to continue using the roads without paying their share to maintain them.

http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=405373 Grips you're GTG. Controls? As in safety and slide stop? Those parts usually require fitting on ANY gun so figure you're going to have to do some work. If controls = ignition controls, then that's even more work.
