AR Stock Pinning
I'm no longer worried Jimmy. So much in fact the new upper i ordered is having one of these suckers pinned on. The choices available were the PWS or a Battlecomp (which is advertised to suppress flash like an A2 Birdcage). I went with the PWS that comes with the "letter".

Building an AR - Upper reccomendations?
Thanks, good to know for the future. I really like their rifles, I got to shoot JimmyAGR's Noveske setup. Very impressive. I opted for the BCM BFH with Daniel Defense 12" middy for-end setup. Great reviews, and a solid $200 less than the Noveske. I do have one problem... I'm running out of safe room!

Building an AR - Upper reccomendations?
Thanks for the feedback all. I went ahead and ordered the BCM here with a perm attached brake and the BCG group. I didn't intend to do this so quickly, and my head is spinning from the expenditure. Its just that it was exactly what I was looking for and the price was right. Not to mention it seems these things go quickly from a look at all the "out of stock" notices on their site. +1 for BC if that is just part of their marketing strategy! I plan on re-purposing my Aimpoint currently mounted on my M1A Scout (planning on brushing up on iron sights with it), so that will save me some bucks. I'll still need a good BUIS system, and I'll be golden.

You sold me Jimmy. I'm not happy about the marketing the company uses, but it is indisputable with the letter.

Building an AR - Upper reccomendations?
Great site. I think I found what I'm looking for here . I would add the perm installed comp and BCG for a total of $1120 out the door. The Noveske says it comes with a perm installed flash hider on the 14.5" model I'm looking at. Plus I'd have to find out if the BCG comes with the upper. Even if I could get the upper with just the threaded barrel sent to adco, i'm looking at another $150 for the comp installation. So far 2 that I like: Bravo company : $1120 Noveske : $1320 (if it comes with the BCG)

Building an AR - Upper reccomendations?
So I've decided to build an AR. I've ordered up all the parts necessary to build the lower, here is what I have so far. I didn't intend for it to turn into a Magpul love-fest, but just turned out that way. I'll use the Palmetto Armory included trigger assembly in the kit for now. Eventually I want to upgrade the trigger to either a Timney 3lb or Geissele S3G. I just don't want to shell out $200-300 for that yet. Spikes Lower Palmetto Armory Magpul MOE lower build kit (having sent to non-gun owner's house, and will pin/epoxy it there before bringing to the lower) Rear Magpul ASAP sling attachment Magpul Angled Fore Grip 2 Now for uppers. I'd like to go for a completed upper, figure I'd leave that part to the pro's. I'm looking for a 14.5" barrel, forged and chrome lined flat-top style receiver and floating for-end. I would have the upper shipped to Adco for a 1.5" brake permanent installation making it 16". So far I have this Novreskey upper in mind. Any opinions, or recommendations for other complete uppers are welcome. Thanks!

9 L.I Gun Shop Employees Charged With Selling Assault Weapons
This is a clear case of abuse of powers. Fabricating frivolous and unsubstantiated charges over and over again to drive these shops out of business via mounting legal fees. This is a similar tactic that was used against gun manufacturers when NYC was suing them fore wrongful death suits until the federal protection laws were passed. All I see is clever video editing Michael Moore style to get the "effect" they were looking for. Any excuse to get a table of military style guns laid out for press photos, trying to incite fear into the non-gun owning or knowledgeable population. The sad part is, this could happen to any of us in AWB states. This is exactly the point I've brought up before, as to what defines "permanently altered". How far does one have to go when it comes to pinning stocks and brakes so that a renegade DA can't fudge a video like this on one of our rifles. Again, it is up to us to prove that the alterations were sufficiently permanent. All it takes is for the local government to have beef with someone to trigger a hunting expedition like this. These laws are designed to induce fear into the public, and is basically a way of of the govt saying "buy one of these guns, and you open yourself up to prosecution at any time we wish to". This is how dictatorships work, make so many things illegal, that you have a reason to throw anyone in jail at anytime. Comes in real handy with the whole rule by fear thing.

Ruger Gunsite Scout
The only additional thing I would add is if the mag has dual-use for bolt and SA applications. In the case of AI mags, I don't believe they have any SA uses. Nor do they have over 10 round capacity that I could find. If someone modified a Gunsite to take M1A mags, buying a 20rnd for it would be a no-go because it could also be used in a SA gun.

Spikes Tactical Lowers -$79.99
I went ahead and orderd 2 of these lowers from AIM. Great deal. I've been wanting to try my hand and building an AR from scratch. Should be fun.

WTF? Comcast Bill went up 6.5%
Try negotiating a new term contract with them. It seems that's what they want in order to give good rates. I had to do it with Fios after my promotion ran out. Also, I've saved a bunch by dropping the voice portion of the "triple play", and going with www.phonepower.com for my VOIP service. It's cheaper, and has much better features over Verizon, could hold true for cable VOIP service as well.

NY Times Article
In NYC, anyone who isnt prohibited and wants to spend the money can get a pistol ownership permit. The carry permits, will need an nearly an act of God... or if you are politically connected to get. Just like NJ. I was helping my buddy who lives in Brooklyn find out information on it. He decided against it as it was too much of a pain in the arse. There are companies in NYC that you can pay $$ to that will help you navigate the bureaucracy. Comes down to $$'s in essence for the ownership permits.

I've never heard of or saw these before. That is one cool looking revolver. I like the concept and I dig the styling!

Why I'm NJ ZED commander-in-chief
I like how it was very popular in the Battlestar Galactica series. They used a bunch of great guns throughout the series. http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Battlestar_Galactica

Ruger Gunsite Scout
I haven't tried any LER optics on it yet, just the Aimpoint. I think it would be near impossible to co-witness the iron sights with any optic. Probably better off with a raised sight mount designed to allow the sight picture under the mount. That's a 15 round Check-Mate magazine. $27 on Brownells. This is one of my favorite rifles. I've always been very pleased with its accuracy with mulsurp ammo. I have been curious to give her some magnification with an LER scope, but it's just not needed for the role she's set up for.

AR Stock Pinning
Hi Jimmy, I'm sure there is close to zero chance this will be an issue. That being said I'm simply stating my opinion that I would not choose something designed and marketed by the manufacturer to have "flash suppressing" qualities. I suppose this is more of a dig on the manufacturer than anything else. If it is not a flash suppressor in BATF's eye's, then why market it as a such? Just leave it at "compensator".
-
AR Stock Pinning
I guess it really depends on what you feel comfortable with. Since NJ doesn't define what a flash suppressor technically is (how much suppression has to take place to define it as such), as usual its a game of chance. Remember this is the state that is charging someone with posession of a machine gun, not because it can shoot more than one round per pull of the trigger... only because it says "Machine Gun" on the receiver.

Not showing up? odd i've checked in two browsers. ohwell , red X is it!

Charging handle
Did you accidentally damage the CH? If it is bent a little it may scrap against the sidewall of the upper receiver.

AR Stock Pinning
So its sold and marketed as "Flash Suppressing Compensator" that does not suppress flash, why would they do that it only causes confusion. At least you have documentation if it ended up in court.

Ruger Gunsite Scout
Yea, good point on the Mini-14, I shouldn't have compared it being only .223. I really want one of these Gunsites now. Just so cool looking. A modern Enfield Jungle Carbine (which I've always thought was a cool rifle). Its just difficult to justify with the magazine price. And this sitting in the safe...

AR Stock Pinning
Don't want to bust any bubbles, but that PWS muzzle device is sold as a "Flash Suppressing Compensator" http://primaryweapons.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=9&idcategory=6 There is no ambiguity that it is designed for suppressing flash... making it a Evil Feature even if it is pinned. This is the compensator only model http://primaryweapons.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=88&idcategory=6
