Ruger Mark III
It's a Millet SP-1 Red dot with 3 MOA dot which is pretty much the smallest sized dot you can get. I like it. It is your typical tube style red dot sight, it works well, and it won't break the bank. I'd say for a .22 pistol it is about the most popular red dot besides an ultra-dot. I have a blast just plinking with it. Off a bag you can shoot pretty darn accurate at 50 and solid enough out to 100. Off hand anything within 25 yards is toast.

Home Security During Halloween
Terrible idea. "Todays top story. Zombie outbreak, hundreds dead. Parents regret letting their children go dressed as 'zombies' for Halloween. "

Ruger Mark III
I use a small rubber hammer/mallet to knock the main spring housing out. It is quite stiff at first and a bit difficult to get out. I found this video helpful in disassembly/reassembly. And of course, what good would it be without a picture.

22LR Rifle Questions
Since we are on the subject. This is the pumpkin I shot last Friday at Fort Dix. Pumpkin placed at 200 yards. Shot with 168gr .308, and a couple shots o 62gr 5.56 from my AR. The smaller holes are from the .308. The larger holes are from the 5.56 Front Back had much larger holes...

Bad Ammo Brands?
The fear of using steel cased ammo is usually unfounded and perpetuated by things read on the internet and other myths about it. For example This is rarely a valid comparison. Most firearms don't require brass cased ammo to be fired. If it does, then it probably isn't a premium firearm to begin with, and a better comparison would be buying a cheap car and having to spend more money just to keep it running. Of course I cannot speak for every different firearm, or even your specific firearm that may happen to be the same make and model I have. Of course they are all different, and if yours does not seem to function with steel cased, then it doesn't function with steel cased. However because person X's AR doesn't work well with it isn't a reason that you cannot. I have fired exactly 1000 rounds of the cheapest steel cased ammo I could fine through my AR and did not have a single feeding issue, firing issue, extraction issue, ejection issue, or any other issue. So when I can buy over 600 rounds more using steel cased over brass cased, why wouldn't I? If you don't reload, why wouldn't you?

What oil do you use?
FP-10. It would appear that I probably clean and lubricate more than most people judging by lots of posts. Am I the only person who cleans all my firearms after anytime I shoot them no matter how little?

CCW rigs, what do you have and use
M&P9c Don Hume minimalist type holster (First Agent maybe) It looks new because it was new when the pic was taken. I imagine that is the same reason for most others as well, because people like to take pictures of their new stuff more than old stuff!

AG's report on Assault Weapons
It is actually that because of these things it is harder to buy, so the chances of an average would be gun owner turned criminal is reduced. My life of crime has been inhibited by NJ gun laws! If only they had less gun laws I would be a master mind criminal by now! Just remember, it is because guns are evil that people turn into criminals. It isn't like people were criminals before hand...no, that definitely isn't it.

Pro Staff 3-9 x40 Rimfire
It has a bullet drop compensator style reticle, which has markings at intervals used at different specific ranges that are based specifically off of the ballistics of a .22lr round, usually a standard velocity round. Of course different types of ammo from various different barrel lengths will give variations but the reticle is designed to be a pretty good estimation. If you use it with other calibers while it can still work, for example, the marking for 200 yards likely won't be 200 yards for that round. Hope that helps. Here is what it might looks like:

Guns you have no use for (but really want anyway)
Well now you are just being mean!

Herbert Leroy Stout FFL ---NFG
"So we see you sold this gentleman a second handgun in less than 30 days" "Well I didn't know." "You mean as a licensed dealer you didn't know the law?" "I knew it I just didn't ask" "So you mean to tell me rather then ask so you are following the law, you decided not to and play ignorant? So why should we think you follow the other gun laws?" "Uhh..." "Thanks for playing. You are now no longer an FFL dealer" But of course if you don't know...

Guns you have no use for (but really want anyway)
The question was "have no use for", not "don't have a purpose"....

Guns you have no use for (but really want anyway)
I have very little use for most of my firearms, but I still am glad I have them! I guess most of them don't really fall under this category though, as I enjoy shooting most of them. With that said, any additional firearm I would have no use for, but still want. PSL-54c with PSO type scope. Suppressed .22lr handgun Bolt action in .338 Lapua

Increase in Military in area
I haven't heard of any exercises going on but then again I wasn't around for the last couple of weeks. Either way you are sure to see an increased level of activity as JB MDL gets bigger and bigger. As matty said, the fiscal year is ending and in order for units to receive their budget for the next year without it decreasing they have to use all of the current years budget, so there are increased flights and training and spending. It is the big flaw in the system. 'TheMan', don't bother thinking about how much money is spent for that type of thing. It will drive you crazy if you think about it too much. There are so many things that are so wasteful like that (the term fraud waste and abuse comes to mind), it is ridiculous, yet they implement all these little savings initiatives that are often unreasonable only to blow all that by having a jet burn circles in the sky for no real reason other then poor planning, laziness, and a lack of understanding because they (those in charge) don't listen.

That would make sense, unless of course you are buying them from the same FFL, in which case it would be also their responsibility, or would at least make sense for it to be.

Warranty replacement....different serial number
I think he is saying that OGAM does not apply, however a permit is still required for additional purchases. However, what PK90 quoted sounds like it doesn't apply to this situation, as that is referring to a purchase and exchange, as opposed to a warranty exchange from the manufacturer. Now should it be different? Probably not, which is why he is saying to keep your mouth shut and keep the documentation! But I am probably misinterpreting it all so take what I am saying with a grain of salt...

transporting from NJ to DE
So why did you quote something, then say "Who says this?", when you are in fact saying that? Now I'm confused. And thank you for telling me I was talking about FOPA, when I did in fact say I was talking about FOPA. I must not have known.
-
transporting from NJ to DE
It doesn't mention the state for an obvious reason. NJ statues only cover things IN NJ! If you are traveling outside of NJ, then you fall under FOPA, which was specifically created so states like NJ couldn't restrict otherwise legal transportation through their state. So no, that is not to "the LETTER of the law".

Iran To Send Naval Vessels Off U.S. Territorial Limit
I see too many new looking boats. As a matter of fact, there are just too many boats.

Iran To Send Naval Vessels Off U.S. Territorial Limit
Ok, I'll discuss. What nukes? And we already have a plan. Discussion over. Iran is so full of propaganda and empty threats (that they know are empty) and just try and scare people. I cannot tell you how many times I've been flying up (or down) the Persian Gulf only to have Iran start yelling at us saying we are approaching their airspace and to identify ourselves blahblahblah only for the US navy to pretty much tell them we aren't and to shut up...in slightly different terminology.

Riddle me this...
For the OP's question, I think that would be perfectly fine. My understanding is, the reason for the language in the statues is to prevent someone from having a higher capacity magazine, then just popping in a block to reduce it, where all they have to do to increase it back over the legal limit is to remove the baseplate and out their block falls. If you are having to break it, or use tools to fix it, then you are fine. Think about it the other way. What if you have a factory standard 15 round magazine. A magazine that was designed only to hold 15 or less rounds. It would be stupid to call that illegal because you could modify it to hold more then 15 rounds right? Same goes for the other way around. If you think otherwise, you are probably too paranoid about NJ to even own a semi-automatic firearm of any sorts in this state to begin with.

slide release or sling shot on a 1911
Slide stop. Slide release. Call it what you want but you are arguing semantics. You can find it called one or the other or both in various different manuals, documents, websites, and from different people. It functions as both. Never letting the gun go dry is simply not realistic. And if you did, it still doesn't explain how you initially load, or how you release the slide when you are done shooting. I use the slide release because it is quicker, and generally easier. However on my M&P compact, it is so small, and so difficult to manipulate (requires extensive force to get to release) that I use the overhand technique.

transport question
There is no requirement for magazines to be unloaded (assuming they are not inserted into the firearm). There is no requirement for the ammunition to be in a separate bag/case/compartment from the firearm. If the firearm is in a locked trunk, there is no requirement for the case they are in to be locked. Anything to the contrary is not a requirement, only a suggestion by someone who is likely paranoid because of this states reputation.

M&P thumb safety
Though I do not have either the magazine disconnect or thumb safety on my M&P, if it did have the thumb safety I probably wouldn't mind either. If flipping 2 levers is too complicated for you to takedown a pistol that you need something even more simple, then maybe you can't be saved. I have never understood that reasoning. Because the take down of an M&P is really that tough...?
