A day late, a dollar short, and you forgot this is NJ and it is quite difficult to completely collapse a stock that has been pinned in position! But other then that, it was a great explanation! Yeti, any chance of getting some pics up? I'm still baffled at what exactly happened that caused such an apparent disaster!

How did the cleaning rod get stuck? I guess it is probably do late now, but I'd suggest using something a bit more sturdy then a cleaning rod, especially if it is one that you connect the pieces and not a solid 1 piece rod...

If I could only have one handgun ever, it definitely would not be a 1911, and a 1911 was my first handgun purchase and 1 of only 3 handguns I own! Designed as a single stack, and most 1911's still are. This reduces practical sized magazines of a higher capacity. Reliability is great in most 1911's, if you shoot ball ammo. Move to the standard in self defense in using JHP, or some flavor hollow point, and some 1911's suffer. I love the look of 1911's. I like shooting 1911's. But they aren't the ultimate handgun! They make lighter, higher capacity, accurate and customizable handguns now that will match or exceed a 1911 in every category, except maybe looks. But looks have no effect on handgun performance and functionality...

GMM has been at that price for a while now at PSA. Regardless, I find their ammo prices on a lot of stuff quite competitive if not better then most. Great deals on their LPK's right now indeed, but there is no way I am finding myself in another thousand dollar adventure just because of a good deal on the LPK!

Of course it might seem that way if you are a liberal, just like the said could be said for Fox if you are a Republican. However in reality, all 3 are equally as terrible. See "that shoulder thing that goes up" and the black "white gun toting racists" for examples.

I think you are okay indeed, if you have an FPID. It is also known that though you got the opinion of the police, that is all it is and doesn't mean they are right. It won't hold up in court...

That states that you cannot transfer firearms to someone without a FPID except in those locations. Someone elses property is not one of those locations. This states that execeptions for where you can have a firearm if you don't have an FPID. There is no exception for shooting on someone elses land UNLESS you have a valid hunting licence and the firearms are valid to hunt with in that area at that time. So, if you cannot legal transport your firearms there, cannot legally possess your firearms there, can not legally possess someone elses firearms there, how do you shoot there withOUT an FPID? I guess there could be something I'm missing. They define shooting range, and your inlaws property doesn't qualify.

The other minor caveat is that since it isn't your property, you must possess a FPID to shoot there.

I voted for a super soaker.

So this in Philadelphia on Saturday? I have never been to a gun show, is it like a flea market setup for guns? Any rules, or can you just show up and walk around?

I wouldn't hesitate to laugh and call someone out just to not embarrass someone if they do it to themselves! Nice AR yourself.

Haha yep! That is just....great.

So I am starting to really hate that darn chain at Range 14. You know the one, that separates the cars from the shooting tables. There is an opening in it only like every 4 tables, so when you get stuck on a table without an opening, you have to step over it. Well Friday a sniper got me on the pistol range...and then on the rifle range. And it couldn't have been much worse. So I'm loading my stuff into my car after shooting the pistol range. I wasn't planning on shooting pistol, but the rifle range was packed. I had 2 pistols in my AR-15 rifle case, so the whole thing had to be carried over. At this time, the only other active table is what appears to be a grandfather with his granddaughter, who appears to be roughly my age. Well sure enough, as I am stepping over the chain with my range bag in one hand, and rifle case in the other, the heel of my foot catches on the chain. Fortunately for me my cat like balance allows me to regain my balance without wiping out. Of course the whole incident was seen by the 2 at the table next to me. I see the girl start to laugh and quickly turn away..."well that was embarrassing!" Now at the rifle range. Range had cleared out, and sure enough, only other active table was right next to me. I guess I didn't learn, because the same thing happened again! This time I really almost bit it! I had to use the weight of the rifle cases to offset my body almost falling backwards while simultaneously leaning on the chain to stay upright. Of course the 2 guys at the other table saw the whole thing as well, "that's twice today!" I hate those chains. By far the most effective snipers at the range.

Not mine, but apparently I've influenced my father to put together an AR! Don't worry, he is not in NJ and that evil bayonet lug, assault clip and murderous non-pinned collapsible stock are happy.

I don't see how that is much different. Just because it is NATO doesn't make it better, both the others are 5.56 as well, and the Federal AE uses NATO marked Lake City brass..... So again, is the Lake City stuff that much better, and I guess I'll rephrase, is there much difference in quality besides one being "real NATO stuff"?

Either way, not that great of a deal, $300 for 840 rounds, you can get 990 rounds of XM855 for that price. Is the Lake City stuff that much better then Federal AE or PMC?

Considering I don't even have a functioning magazine, 10 rounds sounds great!

The fact that any of this even matters is what is really mind boggling to me. If you can flip the bird while holding the rifle it is illegal, but if you can perform a proper thumbs up while maintaining positive control the rifle is legal.

I aim to please. If you are all telling me you have never worn a pair of sunglasses while shooting on a bright day instead of "approved" safety glasses you are a goddamn liar!

In order First gun ever: Pump up BB gun from Walmart. Possibly a Crosman. Rimfire: Bolt action .22LR. Centerfire: M16A2 Pistol: M9

If I could watch videos of the same cool stuff, and the same cool courses and areas to shoot, and just take out nutnfancy and insert almost anybody else, the videos would be awesome. But unfortunately he has a very annoying personality. I am fairly certain he is a KC-135 pilot in the Utah Air Guard. It would make sense as he has some videos where he has access to stuff that would be quite hard to get if you weren't in the Air Force.

Probably as well as most "safety" glasses. Do you really think I piece of flying brass is going to be able to penetrate those beasts?

I was going to be there, but ended up in Spain instead. Not sure how the weather is Jersey, but if you were wondering, it is beautiful here!

I have a little stack on safe. Am I expecting it to be burglary resistant? Nope. It wouldn't take much to get into it. But it is better then nothing. I got one so nobody could just walk in, and walk out with a firearm case when nobody is looking (which happened to me). It would be a little more difficult trying to walk out with a big locker without anyone noticing!

What he said above. And if you don't already, you're going to need to have a barrel nut wrench and a vise at least.
