Nice, I really like the spiral fluted barrel on these.

No better way for a government to control its people than to encourage them to become dependent on it.

Welcome

I've seen people using them at matches in the conditions you mention. I'm going to pay closer attention next time to see if they are really working.

I'm thinking its all about the marketing of it. If they market it as an adapter to turn oil filters into a suppressor = regulated item. If they sold it as a "pipe thread adapter", then no. But then it would come down to the guberment proving that they are making them for the purpose of being used as a suppressor adapter, blah bleh blah...

I wish, but oil filters are all of a suddenly NFA title 3 restricted items, and illegal in NJ to own!

Thanks, looks like a good tube. I'll wait till I get the shotgun to make measurements.

Oil filters are now illegal in NJ, and require Title 3 tax stamps in free America!

Should be in tomorrow. I know the Nova has the integrated receiver/stock, but thats fine with me as I don't have any ambition to do anything modding of what is there. I'm looking for recommendations on tube mag extensions if anyone has experience with them.

I know it happens, but reading this stuff here makes it even more real, further infuriating me. I have no problems with legit social welfare, to help someone get back on their feet. I do have a huge problem with social leaches who game the system for free handouts. What makes it worse, is that they feel they are entitled to it, that they deserve it. They think money grows on trees, and Uncle Sam can just keep printing more and more.

I'm against those automatic revenue generators myself, but this guy just went a bit overboard here. I mean look at that horrible aim....

Terrible what happened to you OP. I would be furious also. That being said, I agree with many others here. Condense it down to a paragraph or two, and back off from the legalese. You need to appeal to a politician, not a judge or lawyer. Make it about self defense primarily, then ease into how you feel that having a fair CCW program in NJ would have afforded you a means to defend yourself. Make it something that anyone can understand. A politician knows that any newspaper that gets hold of this will just ignore it. If you appeal to the common person, from 18-99 years old in easy to understand terms... that scares them into action more than anything else.

Old School. A wise man once told me to do research, and so I did. First we look at temporary xfer conditions, your home is not an exempt location and circumstance but, it gives us an out in the name of N.J.S.2C:58-3 which covers "The Purchase of Firearms". So we have to follow those rules when we can't use temporary xfer exemptions... So to hand someone a HG or long gun outside of temporary exemption rules , you will be "giving" it to them, and they will be "receive"ing it. You have to follow these rules , which means for HG's they have to have a PPP, and with a long gun, show FID and fill out a COE. The COE is the "receiver or holder signs a written certification, on a form prescribed by the superintendent, which shall indicate that he presently complies with the requirements of subsection c"

Its all about intent. If you purchase a gun with the intent of re-selling it to another person even if that other person is qualified (FID, etc), it is a straw purchase. The only way to get around that is to become a licensed dealer, which permits you to buy firearms with the intent to sell them, of course following all the laws on the disposition of firearms. If you purchased a gun for yourself, then after awhile decide that you do not want it any longer, and decide to sell it, that is OK. If you perform this behavior regularly, it could draw attention and be grounds to investigate if you are performing any straw purchase or illegal dealer activities.

I run a BCM 14.5 middy with a pinned FCS556 brake using a pinned MOE stock along with a PSA milspec tube/spring/standard carbine buffer. Works like a champ. You can use whatever stock you want over the buffer tube.

I suppose if I could afford cars like that, I can see how $50 is "nominal". My whole point in this exercise is that it is not nominal to everyone.

OK, golden bear seems to be not around anymore. The last 3 1000rnd orders I've been placing are all for silver bear 62gr @$250ish per 1000. I can find Aguila 55gr brass cased for $315 here at sgammo, seems to be nearly the best you can get right now for brass. Its not even 62gr which I prefer to shoot out of my 1:7 barrels. I suppose if you are going to chase/catch brass, then reload or sell it off, you may be able to re-coup that extra $50-65 premium. If you aren't IMO its wasted $$ that could be put towards more ammo.

Nice job on that. I see you got away with a much less expensive alternative to shooting. For me it was taking the wife shopping for that new dining room set that I've been promising. Lets just say it was a few high end AR's worth of $$$$. Funny how I think of spending money in terms of how many XX types of guns I can get for the same price....

AR's can range from $700 up to many thousands. It's more of what you are trying to do with it, than how much you spend on ammo. If you built a precision platform out of an AR, then you will want to use .80cent per round factory match ammo or roll your own to your specs so you can chase single holes. If you build a fun-gun, and enjoy plinking plates or shooting "zombie" size targets at 150 yards, the russian zinc/brass plated steel case stuff is more then adequate to have fun with. The point is, for plinking like that, why spend $40 more for brass if it does nothing for you but make you feel better that you are pampering your AR?

Yea, its not my HD or SD HG by any means. Its built for and used for competition only, so I don't really mind. Most people hand-tailor loads that work best for their competition gun anyway. There may be some worthy ones out there that can eat any ammo, but personally, I wouldn't pick any single stack 1911 in 9mm for SD use. Its running completely solid with 124gr HPs, no problems or hiccups so far.

What is "nominal"? From what I see the price difference is substaintial... Like $130ish for 500 55gr Silver Bear versus $170ish for 500 Lake City 55gr

I doubt it was the bullets, more the gun. It seems sensitive to OAL with RN bullets, and I didn't want to go shorter on the OAL. They work fine in my other 9mm HG's loaded to max mag capacity, this was specific to my 1911 9mm. Apparently they can be picky beasts.

I have a PWS FCS556, JP tactical, and a Troy Claymore that is on order. Between the PWS and JP, the PWS is the most obnoxious as it blows gases back and to the side as well as to the sides. The JP seems to blow gases to the sides and up only, and is less obnoxious. I can tell the difference by letting someone else shoot my guns, and I walk behind and to the sides to see where the hit is. I'm anticipating the Claymore will be the best , as there are no side ports, only towards the front. Jon, I'm not going to let my comp blast get in between me and a day of shooting even if I have to set up close to other shooters. At the same time, it is something that I try to be considerate about. If I can get the same performance out of a comp that won't bother other shooters as much as some others, I'll opt for the less annoying one.

I've been running the Xtreme 9mm 124gr plated round nose. They work really well, but I do have some problems with them when loading my single stack 9mm 1911 mag to the maximum 10 count. I'm going to run HP's for now on. To use up my RN stash, I'm loading 7 round nose, then finishing the mag with 3 HP's. Works fine that way.

I've shot at a minimum 3000 rounds of Silver Bear or Golden Bear out of my AR's through the years. Never a problem. Even if it does wear the extractor out faster then brass, who cares, small cheap part that every AR owner should have a spare or two anyway. Great for plinking and general blasting. I stay away from the polymer/lacquer coated stuff. AK's can eat it all day long due to the taper on the cartridge. .223 with that stuff... too close of tolerances with the less tapered shell where some lacquer or polymer build-up in the chamber will cause problems. They say the newer polymer stuff won't do it, but I still just stick with the zinc/brass plated stuff which is Silver/Golden Bear. Just my IMO.
