Definately only use the correct AR parts as other said. Also, its a good idea to have some commonly lost spare parts around. I have this kit from from PSA. They are out of stock but I'm sure you can get it from other places.

Congrats on the rifles! Next look into cameras!

At times, figuring out US Federal and State firearm regulations and rules are worse than time-travel paradox puzzles. I'd like to see the regs/statutes that the ATF and NJSP used to come to their conclusions.

I really like the Magpul products that I have used. MOE AR handgrips are my standard, the AR ACS stock is fantastic.. I have two on my rifles, and I also own a bunch of 20/15 pmags which have been great. I don't personally see any issues with product quality. I can see how some people may not like the styling/feel, but that is according to each person's taste.

I've been using the red sta-bil for years for my genny, motorcycles, power washer, snow blower, etc. I try to start them up every other month and let them warm up to operating temp. I also re-add sta-bil every 5-6 mos regardless if I'm using them or not. Typically after a year or two, I'll dump whatever is left in my gas cans into the cars to burn it off, and refresh the storage cans with fresh petrol + sta-bil.

Looks cool. That bull barrel looks pretty hefty.

When there is an option for anyone to say "No" without any repercussions, no benefits in saying "Yes" to them, life goes on etc... that will nearly always be the answer. This is why it is completely ridiculous that a Constitutional and inalienable right (2A and self defense) can be stricken down by a judge on their based on their own subjective feelings and ideas. Absolute power corrupts absolutely... and that is what we have, legally assisted corruption. A system that caters to the privileged and politically connected, while the rest of the sheeple are summarily lumped together into the deny-all bin.

NJ is an expert when it comes to providing the illusion of adhering to the US Constitution and being open and free. NJ claims that they do have a sound, fair, and "reasonable" process for its citizens to obtain a CCW license, therefore they are not a state that denies 2A (of course they do not acknowledge it either). With the HG ammo law, they can claim they do not outright prohibit interstate mail-order ammo sales, they just require a bunch "reasonable" processes to be followed. Of course in reality, companies that are threatened would just rather not participate. Just like nobody bothers to apply for NJ CCW permits.... All they have to do is walk the fine line of regulating up to the gray boundary of what amounts to an outright ban without stepping over that line. Provided they can keep this up, they will get away with it. It is up to us to fight in order to move that gray line into the black and white zone and have these ridiculous de-facto bans disguised as "reasonable" regulations struck down.

I'd clean more often with just a little effort, no need to go nuts. Then do a full crazy clean and de-copper every 1000 rounds or so. Thats my rule of thumb.

Many of the imports seem to be the same quality and protection (as in from China), like Sentry, Cannon, etc. Some models may have nicer interiors and bells+whistles than others. Generally they will stop kids and opportunistic thieves, but are generally no match against a targeted attack by equipped and skilled crooks on your gun collection. Some companies use components from China and assemble them in the USA so they can have the "made in USA" label, so you have to do your own research on that. The full American made company safes are going to be more of challenge for the latter and will typically offer greater protection from theft and fire. Liberty Safe is one example. They also offer a economical no-frills line that is nearly comparable to import safe prices, but offer increased capabilities. I am eying them for my next safe. Regardless you want your safe to be just one level in your security plan. Good quality deadbolts on your home doors, secured basement windows, adequate exterior lighting, CCTV, and a home alarm system are other examples of "defense in depth" that will add together to act to deter would-be thieves. Also, whatever you do, make sure you bolt your safe to the wall and/or floor. Make sure it is flush against a wall, and in a corner is even better.

Sweet, I want that stock!

I was thinking of bringing a vid cam and asking people to vid my runs... but I'm still so terrible at this that I don't want to watch myself just yet!

Good stuff, IMO would be better if the religious overtones were removed.

And unloaded.... of course

Thanks for the heads up.

Working on a new build. I wanted to know if anyone has the right equipment to weld a brake in the central jersey area. I'm in Matawan.

Is this a joke?

Anyone who owns a BMW M3, please turn it in to me ASAP. Some criminal may steal it from you, and use it in a dangerous high speed chase, or even perhaps to act as a getaway car in a vicious robbery. I will make sure this car can never hurt anyone ever.

Booby traps are illegal in NJ. 2C:3-6

These programs are completely illegal. As usual, NJ decides who and when they feel like enforcing the law. They allow people to clearly break the law if it serves their purposes, then drop the hammer on anyone who isn't a good sheep. I like the idea of poaching good deals outside in the parking lot.

The idea is to stay out of court in the first place... so even if technically you could prove with expert witness that a thumbhole stock is not a pistol grip, I doubt anyone wants to be facing 10 years and spending their life savings in court with some shark prosecutor, anti-gun judge, and a firearms ambivalent jury trying to do so. For me the theory is to not "tickle the dragon's tail" as much as possible. I stick with the obvious things, like perm pinning brakes, stocks, mags, etc. Those are pretty easy, as there is no case if the brake can't unscrew, stock can't "telescope", or mag can't hold more than 15 all via permanent methods that would require machining/physical alterations to undo.

If it is an SA shotgun with a "pistol grip" then IMO, it is not NJ legal. I would advise against purchasing it.
