I was referring to ammo price of 300blk versus 7.62x39 considering the similarities in performance. As in a 7.62x39 AR upper setup would be more cost effective ammo-wise over a 300blk. After that I was going more for performance and intended purposes, while using the AR platform... without considering price as these other rounds are in their own league. I figured the OP would search around and determine for himself, or take up reloading. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

Seems most of our gun laws are like this. As I said it before, discretion is key, as anytime you leave your home with a gun or hollow points, you are in the quantum flux of both being legal and illegal until observed by a court of law, where your status will settle into one state or another. VJF is on to something here, as the hollow point exemption indicates activities in subsection f. of 2C:39-6 Exemptions specifically. There is nothing about moving from one residence to another in subsection f. , it is only in e. (I made that same mistake above). So to better your odds in court IF you ever got into that situation... would be to go to the range from one residence, then leave the range and go home to the other residence. That would be following the exempted activities in subsection f.

IMO, I'd look at the 6.8SPC for hunting and paper punching. You will have a flatter shooting , and longer distance capable round for both purposes. Its easy to convert an existing AR with a upper/BCG swap. The 6.8 guys seem to do really well with it and hog hunting http://68forums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?59-Hunting-with-the-6.8-mm I'm no expert, but it seems to be the more flexible and capable option if you arent running subsonic suppressed.

What's the intended purpose? If you plan on running subsonic with a suppressed setup then I think the 300 blackout is a great option. Though wouldn't happen in NJ... Otherwise if you plan on using supersonic loads, you will basically be getting 7.62x39 performance out of it, at much greater costs for ammo. The only two benefits I can see is if you reload, you can tailor your load to your purposes using available .30 cal bullets that would make some nice hard hitting rounds in the 200-400 yard area. And you can use existing AR mags. If you are looking for hard hitting heavy rounds for work out to 200 yards, I'd look at the 450 bushy, 458 socom, or 50 beowulf flavors. Then there are nice .308 options for the AR platform but will probably weigh more.

Ah gotcha, subsection f. So your work around is the only viable way apparently.

IMO , no need. You can go from one dwelling or residence to another while moving under 2C:39-6 exemptions.

Mini is a fine gun, but personally I'd pick an AR as my first SA rifle. So many more options are open to you. Even if you buy a basic one today, you can easily upgrade it or even rebuild an entirely new AR by just re-using the lower. After that, if you still want the traditional look with wood, save up and go for a Springfield M1A as your next purchase.

What a jack arse. The article indicates that most likely he wasn't trying to kill the cops, just shooting near them to antagonize them into defending themselves so he could carry out his master plan... suicide by cop. Looking at the above shot up cop car, seems he was blasting away at the empty passenger side of the patrol car. Doesn't make it right, but at least he didn't kill any. The idiot had some sense of sanity left I suppose.

Look at one piece cleaning rods, like the Tipton 1 piece carbon fiber line. Then pick up the rest individually. Swags, brushes, patches, cleaning chemicals, etc. I don't care for boresnakes that much except for shotgun where they seem to work well.

I'm in, just registered

Does this mean that USPSA/IPSC is now officially a "sport", so the ATF will now have to reconsider their "sporting purposes only" rules on determining what types of firearms can be imported?

Just says AH7, you know 7 is a refreshing number Ahhhhhhhh Seriously, stick with the evil gun features, and don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

As johnp said, pressing charges would just pouring salt on the wound. The guy castrated himself by accident, ya think he would have learned his lesson on how not to have any future negligent discharges!

That remake is a work of art IMO. If the OP ever does get a real gatling gun and plans on shooting, I hope he lets us know where and when. I would clear the calendar to go watch.

If they have good evidence that this guy is guilty of the charges they listed out, then he looks like a real scumbag, and not some poor soul the DA decided to go after because they sold a AR even with compliant features to a fellow FPID holder while following all the laws... On the other note, I don't blame the SWAT for going all tacticool. I'm sure they have been very bored waiting for a chance to gear up with all their toys. I know I would be!

Sweet deal, just grabbed one along with a Magpul ASAP

I'm heading to Allamuchy State Park tomorrow. Going to start out on the manicured ex-railroad trail , then peel off in search of abandoned mines in the woods. There are many up there, dating back to the late 1700's. Not going in any, just looking at.

As others said, fine on metal, keep away from plastics and wood. It will dry-clean the metal, as in suck out every drop of oil/protectant out of the crevices in the metal. Whenever I "dry clean" a gun with brake cleaner, I let it dry completely, then generously apply whatever my choice is of gun oil/protectant and let it soak for a bit before wiping away. This will return the protective coating that the brake cleaner blasted away.

IMO , FN 5.7 if you want it for the cool factor (I agree it is freaking cool), otherwise I'd look at something else. The 5.7 was designed to fire armor piercing rounds at sufficient energies/velocity to puncture body armor. Since we can't have AP ammo here in NJ, and most any HD/SD situation won't require that capability, there are much better options.

I'm with Harry and Bob. Calling the police for firearms advice will not be helpful and can be harmful. They are not there for free legal advice, they are there to try to lock up as many law breakers as they can. And when it comes to NJ's confusing and ambiguous firearms laws, it makes their job easy to find folks who broke one gun law or another. Sure there are helpful and knowledgeable LE folks out there that will give you good advice (many are on these forums), but you are taking a chance randomly calling your local PD. Some people don't care for Evan Nappen that much, but IMO he does have a decent easy to follow book focused on NJ gun laws. It has most of the answers to common questions, and for those that you are foggy on, you found the forum that has the best chance of arming you with the best info to make decisions for yourself.

I'm impressed with the quality of these rounds. I'm just talking new in box, shiny, appearing to be high quality. I haven't shot any yet, but will report back when I do. I hope they perform as good as they look. I'll also be saving the brass for some reloading fun.

Buy as many as you like. There is no law against it. Worst that can happen is that you could get a phone call poking around. Just say I have nothing to say and have a nice day. I know of a guy who was buying 4 lowers a month pre-Failbama. They were his insurance plan against any new Federal AWB's that people were afraid would come down the Bama-pike.

FWIW , I used these guys http://www.rhmcloan.com/ , Mike Bogner. Back in November of last year I got a 3.875% 0 points 30 year fixed re-fi. Of course rates are different now, but I did like how they were no-nonsense and no games when it came to the fees.
