This assumption is biased. He is comparing a style/type of gun versus a specific company brand/type. Glocks are only made by glock, and they control all aspects, choose all materials, design every part. "1911" ' s are a style/type of pistol made by tons of different companies, all with their own tweaks, materials, tolerances, etc. How can you compare? He really should be testing on comparing a specific company's stock 1911 offering versus a particular Glock model. Like a Sig Traditional stock 1911 versus a Glock 21. He claims his experience of encountering 1911's in his classes gives him the evidence he needs, but I'm willing to bet he never saw one particular brand consistently from class to class, nor does it seem like he has taken note of the brand, like "I've always saw Colt 1911's consistently going down".

Being a new LnL loader myself. I also experience some variation of around .01 with my COL's. I'm running a medium-light load of 5.2gr HS-6 pushing 124gr FMJ's. I did notice that these bullets tend to vary a bit with the shape of the nose. I take it that is causing the OAL variation. They are bulk purchased Armscor brand bullets. Since then I've shot about 100 of these, with no problems. .01 is very small, although it does look very noticable on the digital micrometer. I have an order of 124gr Extreme plated bullets on the way, and I am curious on how consistent they will be regarding OAL's.

Personally I go 14A, but this was just a hypothetical post on "what-if" you come down with a case of zombieitus and start following your GPS like it is directions to fresh brains. Wasn't really a meet, just getting together with a friend. I only went because he lives close to there, otherwise I frequent CJ.

Steyr AUG is on the named list. So you could be taking a chance with the whole NJAC evil feature list versus statutes named list thing. I have a MSAR STG-556, which is a type of AUG clone. Its great , I love it. Problem is MSAR is out of business, if you get one, be sure to get a spare parts kit with it as they aren't making any more. FS2K is pretty sweet. My friend has one. Seems a little over-complicated for me, but it could just be my lack of understanding of its operation. The Keltec RFB looks really nice, though I never shot one before. Its .308 so that may affect your decision..

Don't forget to adhere to FOPA rules to the letter when all of a sudden you just realized that you are driving through Staten Island to head to the Bayonne pistol range to meet up with your friends. This could happen when following your GPS for instance.... Just sayin' ya know. Not that this happend to me or anyone I know.

I use PMC Bronze, Speer Lawman, S&B typically for range ammo, 115gr flavor typically. Currently my choice HD ammo is Cor-bon Pow'RBall. I also hear Hornady Critical Defense is excellent. Both rounds operate on similar principals.

Got my 15/20 pmags from midwestpx. They work great. $22 and some colors to choose from. http://midwestpx.com/index.php?cPath=15

I spent a month in a suburb of Anchorage back when I was 13 visiting my Aunt and Uncle. It was during the summer, I remember it always being bright out and was outside playing with the kids in the neighborhood til 11pm ... and complaining about needing to come in to go to bed. Visited glaciers, old gold mine, whale watching, various huge park/forests for hiking, etc. Very cool stuff. In the neighborhood, looked like a regular suburban neighborhood you would see anywhere, but with really big yards. Also, if you kept walking down in one direction, the road came to a stop with a barrier, and on the other side was a cliff with the most amazing overlook of a bay , mountains, and wilderness. Could see for miles and miles. Was surreal seeing that view in a "suburb". Even living in Anchorage, you were never more than an hour from some serious looking back-country.

That pool was coming right at him!

Bad thing can happen when the police get involved in non-criminal matters (suicide, family matters, arguments, etc). IMO they just aren't equipped to really handle these things, just they happen to be the ones that always have to go. That is unless the help you are looking for involves tasers, swat teams, no-knock raids, killed pets, felony charges, legal fees, etc....

Yup I know its dangerous. Maybe I'm expanding too much. I can't mess with it again till this weekend anyway.

Funny, I just started using my new lnl tonight also for the first time. I have everything humming along except for the hornady combo seater/crimper die. I'm also getting inconsistent OAL's and apparently I'm not crimping enough as the bullets push into the shell when loading into one of my pistol's chamber.

Broke the rule, paid the price. The rules are designed to take into account "misfires" so that nobody gets hurt when they occur.

Our country is being sold off for short term gains and savings, peice by peice.

This is terrible news. My family and I give our sincere condolences to you and your family.

Looks like one of the shells got stepped on and the resizer couldnt squeeze it out. Are those plated bullets or FMJ, looks plated to me.

Maybe after they make some profit and recoup developmental costs on these things, they will be more affordable in the future.

I have a woodstove insert with a blower. I used to use it more on days I work from home, this year I got lazy. It does heat the whole house. My problem with it is that the chamber is farily small, and I have to keep feeding it every hour or two. This basically means I have to be around the house to use it effectively. I find there is no point in lighting it up in the evening when we both get home from work. By the time its throwing out great heat, its time to go to sleep. Since we drop the thermo down to 63 at night, no need to have it going at that time. "seasoned" cords around here go for $200 in the Old Bridge area. Even "seasoned" stuff needs another year in the woodshed, so I have a rotation thing going on...

Awkward momment... I find it funny that some bad guy who a) blew up part of his house with his illegal stash of explosives then b) tried to kill a cab driver with some explosives because he didnt pick him up, then c) tried to kill police that showed up with a grenade, just to have that very grenade blow himself up. I call that hilarious justice.

Make use of a vapor corrosion inhibitor (replace yearly), and a large rechargeable dessicant to remove humidity. I've been using a large Bullfrog emitter http://www.theruststore.com/Bull-Frog-Emitter-Shield-P25C12.aspx.

lol pretty funny stuff. Maybe he thought his grenade was a magic Ninja vanishing smoke ball?

Welcome to the forums and the hobby. Just pay extra attention to the laws regarding the exemptions on transportation of your new HG. Just post over in the laws section if you have any quesitons after reading all the fine material already over there.

I use Silver or Golden Bear steel cased Russian stuff for plinking/practice. Silver has a zinc washed coating, Golden has a brass washed coating. They both act the same, just one is silver and one is brass colored. They do not use laquer so you don't have any of those issues. They only cost a tad more than the laquer stuff. They perform well, not for precision shooting, but usually fairly consistant. For precision stuff, I reload my own using 69gr BTHP's for my 1:7 barrel.

Very sad story, and completely irks me. Just like any other tool or instrument that when abused or not handled properly can be very serious, like a motor vehicle. It will be just another notch in the anti's bag against CCW, I doubt they will try to push for mechanical gun modification mandates, their plan is much larger then that.

The LEO under this particular circumstance , if he was on duty is covered under exemptions to posess and carry the shotgun without a case just like he would have been with his service weapon. A civilian wouldn't need a case if he had his FID card and it was unloaded. In NJ, with an FID card, you can carry unloaded long guns in public, provided it is not an exempted edit:"prohibited" location like school property, courts, etc. Nobody ever does, and you would problably be arrested by LE if you did just b/c this is NJ. As a civilian without an FID, then you have to travel with it according to the travel exemptions, aka directly to and from ... cased.. unloaded, etc Just another example on how there are so many incorrect perceptions of what NJ gun laws really are, and a testament to how confusing they can be.
