Never-mind, it is not NJAC, I was thinking of a FOPA rule. The gun needs to be in a locked case if the compartment it is in is not separate from the passenger compartment. So for us here in NJ, the gun has to be in a "closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package"

I used to pay an exterminator until I figured out how to get the stuff and do it myself. What kind of bugs are buggin ya? I take care of my and my neighbor's ant problem myself every year with a perimeter treatment of the good stuff , not crap you buy at Home Depot. Helped out a friend in north jersey with a centipede problem as well. These I personally own and use: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/ http://www.domyownpe...a-97-p-428.html http://www.domyownpe...rce=product_428 http://www.domyownpe...1210-p-266.html The Cyonara 9.7 I use as an outside perimeter spray. Start about 2ft up on your house, spray down and extend about 2ft away from the house onto the dirt/lawn/garden. Watch spraying flowers as it will kill bees. It leaves behind a residual that should last a month or two depending on how much rain you get. This has an odor while wet, oderless when dry. Keep pets/people away until it dries. The Suspend SC I use for indoor and mosquito control as it has a good repellant effect for them. Lower concentrations for indoors behind appliances, baseboards, cracks, etc. It is odorless wet and dry. Leaves a residual that will last for months. Keep pets away until it is dry. For mosquitoes/ticks, etc outside, spray your perimeter of your yard onto bushes, around areas where people congregate, and criss-cross the lawn a few times. Don't need to saturate, and use a low concentration. This will keep the biters out of your yard until the next rain or two. For infestations, after treatment it usually takes 2-5 days for the bugs to die, as they need to walk accross treated areas for it to work. Once they do, it usually takes a day for them to die once exposed. These concentrates will make many gallons of product. A little goes a long way, make sure you read the directions. The Chapin sprayer is worth it, as the typical garden sprayers lack features like depressurization, and ability to fine mist for indoor applications.

Little off topic, but does this mean that we do not have to lock our guns in their cases in the situation when you are transporting a gun in a vehicle without a trunk separate from the passenger compartment... as in a hatchback or wagon? The law doesn't say anything about locking it or any specific details on this condition, but the Administrative Code stipulates the case/bag be locked under these circumstances.

I typically recommend the ARMS #71L set, runs $90 for the set, and is a great value. In your case, if I remember correctly you will need to mount it to your forward railed gasblock, so you would need a metal set as the polymer may melt. Troy makes some nice ones. Unfortunately metal versions cost 2X the price or more of polymer versions.

Definitely try uninstalling Cyberlink stuff as a first step. It may or may not be a symptom of something wrong with the hardware. If that doesn't work. I would format/reinstall windows. If that still doesn't work, its a hardware problem. With a laptop, that makes it not so easy to deal with. Some laptops have an accessible separate video card that you can remove. In that case, could try reseating it, or the baking trick that Krdshrk recommended. Sometimes they are built into the mainboard, in which you could also try the bake trick for the whole board. http://www.addictivetips.com/hardware/fix-your-graphics-card-by-baking-in-oven/ Just know, once you start taking apart a laptop, you better feel comfortable that you can remember how to put it back together. They are like 3D puzzles in some cases. There is a chance you may not be able to get it back together, or break it while trying to do so. Good luck!

Heck yea you did, you started the excavation/flood management process to begin with! Was nice meeting you and everyone else.

Great time all. Was nice meeting folks from the forums. My friend got hit STG/Trij sighted in and I just went to town indiscriminately emptying mags out of my latest AR build. Someone has to liberate those bullets from those captive shells! The RO on duty was awsome. He helped us de-flood the bench area with garden tools and cinder blocks.

Jimmy! storm clean-up can wait till later!, unless you lost shingles or something... hope not.

I'm a member and have given twice in extra donations already. But still, I would like to know how they are affording all these lawsuits. Maybe there's some super-rich pro gun rights philanthropist out there that we don't know of.

I wouldnt haggle over $20. Another thing to consider is taxes. If you buy on the inet, no taxes (though you are supposed to declare it). Factor that into your calculations.

Just got word back from Isaac. He's out on a field exercise, and will get in touch with me on Monday.

Yea, I don't doubt he is supercool/nice/awsome guy. I will deal with it being I really want those mags for the new rifle, and I have no choice. That being said, if there was another source, they would already have my $$$.

Sell it and buy a milsurp one?

I spoke with him once, and he does seem very nice and friendly; but how is a good business one that doesn't call back when they say they will, and doesn't return emails and voicemails in a timely manner (in my book 24 hours)? Not ranting or complaining, or trying to hang him out to dry. Just expressing my opinion based on my experiences over this past week trying to order some AK74 mags. I get it, we all get busy, just a little communication would be appropriate. Like maybe update the website on the front page explaining the ordering system is broken, and the company will be closed for the next week or whatever time-frame.

Its right on his website: http://www.mtnarmory.com/contact.html

Not sure yet. It is "On Hold" by J&G as the FFL they had on file for Paul was expired. I had to send them an updated one. I got an email back saying they take 48 hours to enter that into the system. So it hasn't shipped as of yet. I'll post in the AK forums when it ships. My biggest fear right now is not having magazines to use for it since MTN is more like MIA.... One of the reasons I pulled the trigger was his supply of 15/30 AK74 mags!

I've been trying to order some AK74 mags from Isaac for two days now. No luck. Got him on the phone once, he said he'd call me back as he was driving. No call back. I then have left two messages over the past 2 days, and and email, with no response. His phone is going right to voicemail. With the website order system not working, it is proving very difficult to purchase these mags!

Yup , pretty easy to "get around" today. The fear is that the next step is they take out the "from imported parts" clause, and we're left from "assembling the gun outside of configuration the AG deems sporting". I suppose I'm guilty of a bit of "the sky is falling" , but I see these portions of the U.S.C. just being prime examples of "reasonable regulation" that is and will continue to be used in order to infringe on our rights.

Anyone ever really look into these federal laws. Especially 925 and 922... around giving the govt explicit power to determine what they want to allow to be imported based on what they feel are "sporting purposes" (the Attorney General in this case decides). Pretty crazy. Federal laws are very anti-gun. In effect there is a Federal AWB already in place... for imports only. All they need to do is pass a new Federal AWB and copy/paste 925 into it. Boom, anything the AG feels is "non-sporting" is now banned. USC 925 (3) is of a type that does not fall within the definition of a firearm as defined in section 5845(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes, excluding surplus military firearms, except in any case where the Attorney General has not authorized the importation of the firearm pursuant to this paragraph, it shall be unlawful to import any frame, receiver, or barrel of such firearm which would be prohibited if assembled; or http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/44/925 And of course 922® in which we all follow by not "assembling from imported parts" a firearm that the AG feels is "non-sporting". I really hope after anti-constitutional CCW laws are smashed down, we set our sights on these un-constitutional frivolous gun bans.

This is something to be mindful of. For instance this will happen with TW25B teflon grease. It is a highly praised product.. BUT when used properly. That is a very light coating, to the point that you don't see any white color. The premise is the carrier oil will evaporate a bit, leaving behind a thin layer of grease/oil with micro-nano size teflon solids for added lubricity. If you slop it on into a gunk-fest, you're laying down too much teflon, so when the carrier evaporates a bit (as designed), you'll have way too much teflon solids left behind causing a problem. Magnalube is the same way, the stuf is green, but the quantity you lay down... you shouldn't see any green on your gun.

We can shoot at stuff on the ground at Ft Dix? We used to be able to at CJ, until something JCP&L complaining that their lineman working on the towers behind the berms were hearing ricochets wizz past them. It was determined it was probably from ricochets off of the ground when shooting at ground targets. Others think they are making it up and just being pricks. Now we have to shoot at stuff 5ft off the ground minimum, or if its clearly on the bottom of the berm.

When eezox dries, it leaves behind a dry film lubricant. That is probably what is fogging up the Eotech. It's pretty tenacious stuff. This may sound odd, but it should work... Spray some eezox on a cottonball or something, then swirl it around while wet on the affected lens. Make sure you are tilting the eotech down as you don't want eezox to flow into the casing crevices. The solvent carrier in the eezox will dissolve the dried stuff. Do that for about 30 seconds, then immediately wipe it off with a soft cloth, followed by a clean cloth saturated with alcohol, then wipe dry. I'd apply alcohol and wipe a few times, make sure you use a clean cloth to do this, like a nice microfiber. Good luck!

I second the Taurus PT709 "Slim"

Check out the vendor section, plenty of shops around the state with good reputations to help you out! http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/forum/79-njgf-vendors-sponsors/

+1. Whatever lubrication and protection it does have is paltry... provided by post solvent evaporation mineral oil residual film. I use it mainly for cleaning, as the stoddard solvent carrier is very good at this. For loosening bolts and protecting against corrosion there are far better products. Two that I use are Kroil for a penetrating oil (also good as a solvent as well), and Amsoil MP (Metal Protector) for anti-corrosion. The Amsoil product leaves behind a dry, clear, and durable protection film.
