Shocker

He's on the NYC FM news station (can't remember the frequency right now) but he's stated pro 2A stuff consistently and it's refreshing. Especially because he seems like at lib in other areas.

Roll my own - no difference between SHTF and plinking ammo for me.

Hi, from another Somerset-er

I haven't had these guy do work for me, only bought stuff, but everyone that I know that has gone there liked it http://www.washingtoncycleworks.com/ Maybe an hour drive from Union County, depending...?

Duracoat will stand up to sweat and solvents and reasonable heat levels without baking but it stinks to high heaven when applying it. They have a bake-on version also. I painted the knurling on my handguard with Duracoat when I couldn't get all the old paint out. Painted the stainless barrel black too.

Ammo is really only good At one thing at a time. Max expansion will get hung up in clothing, max penetration goes through the BG and the next wall...even with ballistics gel the answer is not cut and dried because the temporary vs permanent wound cavities both count and the depth of the large cavity matters. Just use a shotgun, lol

I didn't notice any fouling of my barrel when I used it but the ports in the muzzle brake were filthy. Don't have much else to compare to though, that gun loved the CCI's so that's pretty much all I used. Wasn't that much more than the Federal bulk and it never failed to cycle.

Looks good, how do you like it? It's funny, I went the other way: I bought a painted AR then spent weeks stripping all the paint off.

When I first saw his page it only showed posts by Lautenmummy himself. You have to choose display "all" to see the visitor's posts, maybe

I ordered 124 and 147...the 147's arrived last week despite a longer lead time estimate initially. The 124's still don't appear to have shipped

Those ones are in green (I keep this image on the camera roll on my phone for quick reference)

As stated before, that's a backwards P combined with an H, then A. I'm not getting the message either though...

Mk262 fits in AR mags

Wow, sold out

Beat me to it. It would be unique...

The same state that brought us 49-state motorcycles and neutered cars. Yaaay for overstepping your bounds!

I've tried them a few times and the guys are really nice and all but they never ever have anything in stock. Seems Spikes has extremely long lead times across the board.

PM'd

I look at it exactly the same as cars, if you want to be sure of the history and have the full warranty you have to buy new. If you are comfortable with possibly fixing something out of your pocket and having some cosmetic dings buy used. A CPO gun is like a CPO car...pay a little more for the idea that an "expert" has looked it over. I have about half of my collection purchased new. My personal rule is buy used unless it's something specific that I can't find on the used market. Some stuff like my Springfield which was only $200 more new vs used, so in that case what the hell, go new.

*mrp!*

I do about 100/hr of .40 also. I don't understand the movement part though...if you tighten the jam nut against the quick change "breech lock" bushing it goes back to the same spot every time for me. The little detent in the bushing engages a button on the press so I'm not sure how it moves for you.

I have that kit and I use it for rifle and pistol. It's basic basic but it works fine. I'd get a cleaner though, cleaning is tedious and you might get fed up and quit reloading. I think mine came from Amazon, look around for better prices.

I've seen that one but I've never seen it flash ever since the "trial period" ended. During the trial period it got me once (had a keg in the trunk and didn't want to slam on the brakes, lol) but I never saw a ticket.

Looks like the 9mm is all out of stock?

I have the DCAEK on my .40 which I feel comfy with, not too light. But if you're going to replace the parts anyway there's tutorials out there for polishing the striker block and trigger bar and stuff that you could try. you obviously would be missing the kit springs though.
