ak74's , who has what? where did you get it?
This won't be a problem. I can make a post and update it everytime I shoot or do something with the rifle. I know I'm taking a chance with this thing, but from what I read on the intertubes... the problems of bad barrel fitment have long been taken care of. The rest of it... well its an AK mud-gun, I figure it should be difficult for them to screw up. We'll see!

Fort Dix AR explosion!
I'm not worried about the "guesting thing". I would just like to know what to do when I arrive. I was there once before a long time ago, and I don't remember the process, where to pay, prices, etc.

Mythbusting - oiling your firearm
Lubrication tech is so advanced these days. There is a lube for everything now. Dry-film types for parts that tend to gum up/cook/load up with debris, and synthetic wet lubes and greases for everything else. For firing pins, I coat with Eezox, let dry for a bit, then wipe off. Offers a dry film with excellent corrosion protection, and basic lubrication.

Independent Gun Owners of America
Just look at NJ's "high capacity" magazine ban. We are at 15 rounds, just a few months ago the cryptkeeper was pushing for 10 rounds. It will never end. Do not give an inch or they will take 10,000 miles. Whatever rights are given up in the name of "compromise" should be considered lost forever, and it will serve as a springboard for the next round of "compromises" until we are left with slingshots. The anti-gunners know they can no longer outright ban guns short of amending the constitution. They are focusing all efforts on "regulating with sensible laws" gun rights into submission. There are already thousands of (and many confusing) federal and state firearms laws. Any evil thing someone can do with obtaining or by using a gun is already illegal, any further legislation only serves to erode the rights of law abiding gun owners. The only legislation needed is undoing all of the unconstitutional BS laws on the books.

ak74's , who has what? where did you get it?
I just ordered a CAI M74 (AK-74 style) rifle from J&G. Having it sent to Paul for neutering. Also just ordered 3 tins of 5.45x39 ammo (3240 rounds). This is my first 5.45 rifle , and i'm looking forward to cheap-ammo blasting fun. Going to pick up a few AK74 15/30 magazines from MTN Armory as well. Just spoke with Isac, as the website is still down. Have to call him to make orders in the meantime.

Tactical Pen
Doh, brain fart indeed on my part. I guess it's slightly better than "smith & wesson".

Tactical Pen
I guess that's the trick, it can't look "tacticool" or dangerous to stay under the radar. I have one by Schrade, a non-weapon company that looks just like a nice aluminum pen. I suppose if you have one with spikes sticking out of it, you're asking for trouble.

Legal hypothetical
Just remember when anyone brings the bb/pellet pistol or rifle back into NJ, all NJ firearms laws apply with the transportation rules and exemption BS we live under. For instance, you purchase the BB pistol in PA, and bring it to NJ. You better be going home , to a place of repair, or a shooting range unloaded in a fastened container.

No harm in mentioning something. Worse thing that will happen is getting a "mind your own business" face-palm.

Legal hypothetical
I said "illegal" posession, i.e. carrying without a carry permit, transporting outside of exemptions. Just proving the point that NJ considers bb/pellet pistols as firearm handguns... and all rules apply in their eyes. Looking at this further.. NJ cannot force other states to apply their laws, only federal laws can do things like this.. point taken. I suppose purchasing of a bb/pellet pistol in PA for instance isn't breaking any laws as both PA and the Feds don't consider it a firearm. Personally transporting it into NJ directly to your home is covered under exemptions of transporting a firearm handgun in NJ, so I can't see how this activity would be illegal. Now mailing it should technically be OK also, but opens the door for NJ to make the arrest, then the burden of proving yourself innocent is on you by proving it was you who mailed it to your own home address. Seems safer to personally drive it home.

First AR purchase SIG 556
I've run plenty of cheap stuff through mine. I use Silver Bear for cheap plinking, and Lake City M855 for more serious shooting. Silver Bear is cheap, and doesn't have the lacquer coating the brown stuff has (is zinc plated), so shouldn't cause any issues with loading or extraction.

Tactical Pen
TSA detained and called the local PD (from my understanding they do not have arrest powers). It was the local PD that charged him with possession of a concealed weapon.

Tactical Pen
Interesting article here on a man given a summons for carrying a "concealed weapon" in the form of a tactical pen. He was going to board a plane, when the TSA noticed the pen and called the PD. He left the pen, and made his flight, but still has to fight the "carrying a concealed weapon" charge. Just when does a pen not become tactical pen? I wonder what the govt definition is for a "tactical pen" being considered a weapon, as in pointy-ness, hardness,etc. Basically opens the door for them to call anything a weapon like keys, flashlights, etc. http://www.deathvalleymag.com/2010/12/23/news-man-packing-a-tactical-pen-arrested-for-carrying-a-concealed-weapon-at-palm-beach-international-airport/

Legal hypothetical
Legally, State and Federal laws are bashing into each other here. Federal law states that BB/pellet guns are not defined as firearms. NJ law says they are. Federal law for firearm transfers dictate that the dealer/FFL follows the purchaser's resident state laws, i.e. buying a pistol in PA technically requires a NJ PPP. That being said, federal law does not recognize bb/pellet guns as firearms and fall outside of these rules. So herein lies the issue and conflict. If you are illegally in possession of a pellet pistol in NJ, NJ can charge you as illegal possession of a handgun according to how the current statutes are written. Then you will have to sort it out in court, and bring federal laws into the mix as part of your defense regarding how pellet pistols are not to be defined as firearms by the states. IMO, this is another legal battle that has to take place in order to fix NJ's broken unconstitutional and federal-law breaking firearms statutes. For now, they treat it on a case by case basis. Whoever wants to play that game, more power to them. This is part of the big picture of how the state wants it, the ability to arrest and charge anyone at anytime if they are in posession of a "firearm", then let the justice system sort out whether it was legal and following an allowed exemption.

BB/Pellet rifles are defined as rifle firearms in NJ BB/Pellet handguns are defined as handgun firearms in NJ All applicable firearms for both apply. Airsoft and Paintball guns are not defined as firearms in NJ

First AR purchase SIG 556
Good price. I remember when I paid $1400 for mine back in the Obama rush. I like my 556. The heavy front end, and long stroke piston action makes for a smooth firing combination.
