Check out your CC companies. Many of them offer a one-time card number generator for online purchases. Once the number is used, it self destructs and cannot be used again. Handy for cases such as this. Of course it would be no good if you want the online retailer to keep your card on file for easier purchasing, or re-occurring bills, etc.

Purdy!

Just saw an anti-Christie ad on TV , depicting him as evil because he is cutting govt spending. To me, that's great news. To the 'entitle-ist extremist' (because everyone throws the word "extremist" in to denote a bad color of character), it is their marching call. I have friends here in NJ who's property tax burden has doubled in the past 4 years. How insane is that. Local governments say they have to do it because the State is no longer feeding them free money. It is going to be painful getting off the unlimited credit card the entitle-ists have been waving around for a few decades. I suppose someone is going to get stuck paying the bill for our Bloatvernment - Number of Govt Employees chart Here

My motto is "nothing's easy". Every little "20 min" chore turns into a laborious , frustrating event requiring power tools and multiple trips to Lowes/Home Depot. I've had days like yours. Chalk it up to Murphy, and enjoy your new stock.

What is the final date, I see 16th and 17th being thrown out there...

Case in point , you did throw out a bunch of verbal assaults on LE in general. If someone spoke about your profession in the same way, I'm sure you would take offense and go back at them.

Are you sure you aren't using a Cadbury bunny edition pistol? Easter is right around the corner you know...

I have a Sig SP2340 and a Glock 31 both in .357sig. It's a great round ballistics-wise. Edge over 9mm+P, and just a little shy of emulating a .357 mag. Downside is the price of ammo. Good news is a drop in barrel will convert either of these pistols into .40 S&W. My next mission is to look into what I need to do to reload this round. Its not as easy as a straight walled shell, but my preliminary research shows there are ways of doing it to make it a little easier.

Wow! Great deal thanks, just grabbed one.

Fair enough. Even removing that example, the point stays the same. I would like to wake up one day and see NJLE organizations speaking out on how ridiculous our gun laws are, and how a vast majority of them them do nothing in terms of getting criminals off the streets, or preventing them from obtaining guns illegally.

I have to disagree here. How does one enforce a law if one does not understand the law. To my knowledge, arresting and charging someone for a crime, typically means you should know at least the basics of the law in question. Arresting and charging someone for instance... because "it looks illegal" is unacceptable. An example would be the pump shotgun pistol-grip guy here on the forums. Usually, "street crime" laws are pretty common sense. Complex criminal stuff like cooking books, extortion, bribery, blackmail,etc.. usually involve detective work, and lots of time and energy pouring over the criminal code to make sure when they move in and make arrests, they have a solid case. When it comes to NJ gun laws its a different story. Our gun laws are so confusing and complex, when a LEO encounters a civilian with a gun, they almost feel compelled to make the arrest 'just in case it is illegal' Then they go through the whole booking process and then decide if any laws were violated. This is a broken system. If the laws are complex and convoluted, and LE doesn't like them , they should be out there promoting and publicizing their stance around it. They could go out there and make their case that NJ gun laws are too complex, and how they snare law abiding gun owners in their quagmire of traps and technicalities, and how LEO's are just as confused over the laws as any NJ gun owner is. Instead, all I ever see out of NJ LE organizations' "spokespeople" is how they want MORE gun control laws, typically parading already illegal/banned firearms for the media.

I understand lubing a new upper, but cleaning? Was it really dirty, or just what's left after they do their test shots?

I used to really be into it back in highscool-college. A few years ago a friend and I had a moment of insanity went out and and bought new guns and gear. Woodsball and scenario games were coming back into style, and we wanted part of that action (being too slow and fat for speedball anymore). I think I used it twice since then. One thing we do try to do is at least one scenario game at EMR out in PA, usually the pump gun scenario. Pump only games are 10X more fun then super-electro-18bps gun games.

Great product, just used two of your 20/15 pmags today actually. Very happy with them, I'm also ecstatic over the Geissele SD3G trigger you sold me as well. As for this guy, nice that he is spreading the word. Huge fail on loading , was treating it like a single feed pistol mag as others pointed out.

What are you coming from/comparing to? Most would consider .223 a pretty tame round. Your problem sounds like inadvertent bump firing. Try holding the rifle firmly against your shoulder.

Ty, I'd be happy to take a look at some high res pics of the lower. I'm looking at the GTR3S, as it says it's designed to match up with standard forged uppers. Plan is to use with my BCM middy. Thanks

Did some more research. Seems teh grain/flow thing is true, but would never really be tested in this application as teh lower doesn't get stressed that much. General consensus is billet is better for looks and maybe for precision builds where billet lowers are typically more closely scrutinized for tolerances during build times. Not to say a quality forged piece can't be... So comes down to looks/bling. I'd have to see one before making that decision.

Is that a HBAR in 7.62x39?

According to visitnj.org, "Visiting Newark is like eating a bag of your favorite potato chips – it’s hard to just have one." teh area wey describe is a few square miles where all teh recent work has been done around teh Prudential Center/NJPAC. Linky Standard preaching to teh choir rhetoric: WTH are wey passing idiotic laws that do nothing to stop crime and do everything to turn law-abiding citizens into criminals. wey should be focusing efforts on teh 11,000 felons evading justice in Newark. Pass some laws on tackling that one... Oh wait, that's too difficult of a problem to actually go after criminals. I'm sure teh anti gun legislatures are thinking "Lets go after law-abiding citizens because wey are easier targets, then we can say we are tough on crime!"

Why would they be considered weaker? I would have thought they are stronger because they are made from a more durable alloy?

I second Ira at Legend Arms. He's now my go-to guy. I've purchased about 4 items through in the past 4 months. $42 fees (NICS+FFL) out the door for anything purchased online, and he also is willing to work with you to get good deals from his suppliers. Ira is also flexible in when you can pick stuff up. He calls you the day the item arrives, and you just have to work out a pick up time, which is usually almost anytime NICS is open. Great service.

Was taking a look at Ty's site and noticed these lowers. mega lower They are about twice the price of a good forged lower. I can't imagine they will be twice as good, but I'm more interested in the aesthetics viewpoint. Does anyone have one of these, I'd like to hear your opinions. Thanks

Yea, looks like suicide by cop to me as well. I'm sure with his training and intimate knowledge of police procedures, he could have done some damage if he wanted to. I'm sure he knew going out on a porch and spraying bullets was not the most strategic option...Looks like he just wanted to create a large enough threat for them to have to kill him.

It is your personal choice if you want to exercise your constitutional right to keep quiet and refrain from answering any questions "Sorry officer, my legal counsel has advised me to only identify myself and provide my DL, insurance, and registration card if I get pulled over in my vehicle, I hope you understand, am I free to go?", or if you volunteer a response "Yes sir, I am legally transporting guns from/to the range according to state laws and guildelines".. as some examples. If asked..I do not recommend lying.Keep quiet or tell the truth.
