How do you like the Bighorn?

Thanks Jon, saw that, am looking for adjustable.

Krylon Fusion for Plastic Linky You could probably paint a pile of baseplates with a single can. If you want to be fancy, you can spray over some clear acrylic for looks and protection after the initial coats are dry.

Thanks Jimmy. The scope is definitely too high, but not unusable. The ACS stock has a nice cheek weld surface that is pretty forgiving. It is the free mount that came with the scope (repurposed from my sig 556 that I recently sold). Next purchase will be a proper height Larue or American Defense QD mount. After that I have to decide on my final build optic for the platform. I'm leaning towards the Bushnell Elite Tactical or Millett TRS families. Not looking to break the bank.

My latest incarnation to fill a medium range semi-precision SA platform role that I was missing. Planning on shooting her for the first time over the next day or two. Build list with NJ neutering described... Spikes Lower BCM built 18" SS bbl Upper with Troy TRX rail Denny's Thunderbolt BCG PSA lower build kit minus FCG PSA milspec buffer tube build kit Geissele SSA-E FCG JP tactical comp (permanently pinned and welded) Magpul ACS milspec stock (permanently altered to no longer be adjustable) Magpul MOE grip YHM bipod rail adapter Harris bipod 15/20 pmag is permanently altered to only hold 15 rounds Wearing an inexpensive Primary Arms optic and mount for now until I decide on the final optic.

Heads up, I just spotted a Ruger Scout at NJ Firearms Guild.

I'd try to find a new range if your range doesn't allow it. Complete nonsense.

Damn, I thought i had some time!

Wow that's a great deal. I may pull the trigger on this also. No more room in my main safe as I use it in split mode... for important papers, HG's, and other valuables. Not much room for long guns esp EBR types with optics.

Your sole leg to stand on is having a good story around "and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances." Attending a course early AM (transporting/possessing a HG is allowed for in exemptions) Live far away Drive down evening before so you can get some sleep before the course Go directly home after course You have to ask yourself if you feel you can defend in court that the hotel stay was a reasonably necessary deviation under the circumstances. Be careful of "reasonably necessary", it is a double edged sword. Anti's love to use the word "reasonably" because it is subjective and can be twisted any which way in court. I would focus on "necessary". It would have to be something very compelling, like you would be very tired for the early morning course if you drive down that morning... compromising yours and others safety during the course. The sad truth is that with a HG if you are not going directly to/from the exempted travel location, you are "at your own peril" for charges to be brought against you in NJ.

The govt cannot outright arbitrarily decide who gets to exercise an individual right, as what NJ does with the "justifiable" clause in the CCW permit process. Completely unconstitutional now that 2A is incorporated. Now... what the govt can do is to have laws on that make abusing those rights in order to do harm illegal. Examples include the whole not yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, setting up a protest march on the GSP in order to stop traffic to protest gas guzzlers. Stuff like that. Right to peaceably carry a sidearm for protection? Absolutely. Now decide to go pointing it at a bystander just for fun or to intimidate them? No... that is aggravated assault. Notice how the crime was not possessing and carrying the gun, it is all about abusing that right to commit a crime of which is illegal. The more people understand this, the better. This is why when the anti's go around spewing more "common sense and reasonable gun laws" it gets my blood boiling. There are already the abuse laws we need on the books like armed robbery, aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon, murder, etc etc and so on.

Ouch! Linky

Just remember 10 round magazines for this rifle are proprietary and cost $50 each. Not that you will need many for a BA, but just throwing it out there.

Some people need to have their license to be human cards revoked. This is the biggest problem that I see with most of the "anti" crowd that I know. When all is said and done, they always tell me that they don't mind if I have 20 EBR's in my home, they worry about the morons and idiots out there having guns. Their answer... since you can't arbitrarily interview people and determine whether or not they are smart and stable enough to own guns, just prevent everyone from owning them. Us law-abiding responsible gun owners are simply sacrificed as acceptable casualties.

Lying per say it not illegal, but obstruction of justice is. If the cop is asking questions investigating a crime (pulling you over for speeding lets say), and you give false answers in order to hinder or prevent the investigation, it is obstruction of justice. "Do you have any drugs or weapons in the car" you respond "I can bench 750lbs"... you lied, but aren't really obstructing justice one could argue. If you did have a gun in the car, and responded "No weapons sir", then that could be argued as a lie with the intent of hindering his/her investigation. You are 1000% better off to just STFU

Not semi, can have anything. You can put a folding stock and bayonet on it if you want....

Legally you only have to identify yourself and if driving a car show the documents. This is basic 5th amendment stuff. "where are you going at this time of night" , "where are you coming from", "where you drinking", "how fast where you going", "do you have any weapons or drugs in the car" etc.... you are not legally required to answer these questions. If you decide to so, you then cannot lie about it. Hence STFU, doesn't mean you have to be a prick about it... "my lawyer has given me the advice to respectfully refrain from answering any questions, I hope that you understand sir/ma'am". Sure the cop may not like it, and may give you the whole "make it easier on yourself" speech, hold you by the side of the road, get 5 other cop cars involved to intimidate you, terry search the driver's area in the compartment, etc. It is up to you if you want to exercise your constitutional rights. If you feel under the circumstances that you wish to waive them to "diffuse the situation", go for it. I do know some states that allow for CCW licenses, they may require you to declare to LE if you are carrying a concealed weapon on your person or to declare that you have a CCW license at all.

Call to arms! This must have been a purposeful show by the Mexican govt/military. There would be WAY too many signs both in Spanish and English warning the convoy they are passing into the US. Who knows, maybe we did it to them a few days ago, and they threw it back on our face. Countries act like big children in more ways then one.

Not trying to defend this kid as I'm holding my judgement until I get more details. So far it only looks like he is guilty of failure to present a registration and AW charges according to the article. I'm sure if he was using the gun in an unlawful manner NJ.com would have jumped all over that. But we shall see... This case brings further light on NJ's laws. I can count a number of times that I personally saw people at the range, or dealer/ffl's selling rifles with too many evil features. One time I was offered for sale a Sig522 with a folding stock and flash hider and was told that "they" only use the AWB to tack on charges to the "real bad guys" doing real crimes. What other types of legal and legitimate items can you order on the internet, have delivered to your house, and instantly become a felon guilty of a 2nd degree crime? How about if a friend brings over a Magpul MOE he just received to your house, while you have an AR sitting in your safe. You are guilty of constructive possession of an AW! That stock might as well be a pound of illegal drugs. Something is VERY wrong. What is happening to this kid, can happen to probably many uninformed/ignorant gun owners out there in our wonderful state. Just because he may look like and act like a jersey shore cast member, doesn't mean he shouldn't be protected under 2A. As for 3am with a rifle in the trunk being properly transported... nothing to do with it. Individual rights do not follow time limitations unless of course you are abusing them to break other laws (like shooting the gun at the range at 3am breaking noise violations). Providing this kid was not engaged in unlawful felony activity (i.e. not counting speeding/failure to show registration), has an FID, and is not a prohibited person, it will be a very interesting case to follow. What a way to have your life ruined, because you didn't grind off little tabs or stick a pin in your stock.

FYI, those additional forms to contact your employer or school are illegal and they shouldn't be doing that. I recommend that you join NJ2AS, submit these additional forms you are being presented with to them, and donate to "Operation Establish Compliance". Link Here

Yup, Just STFU. Just keep responding with other questions like "why would you ask me that", etc. Push comes to shove if they insist on searching the car... , "i do not consent to any searches". According to Terry, they can only search the compartment area in immediate access of the driver without a warrant.

If this kid is clean, I hope gun right organizations jump all over this and turn it into a 2A constitutional battle over NJ's AWB Otherwise, lets hope to see more jury nullification.

Wow, I was waiting for BCM BCG's forever. I instead bought a Denny's "Thunderbolt". From what I've researched it should be at least equivalent to LMT or BCM, and at a nice price. I received it this week. Looks great, hope to shoot it soon. My link

Welcome from Matawan/Old Bridge area.

Thanks Paul. I still could not find anything using either of these links. The AG guidelines on AW's in the first link is just what is in the NJAC today.
