I think you'd be more of an exception then. I'm not against law enforcement so don't take me the wrong way. I have an uncle who's been on the JCPD almost 30 years now and a bunch of close friends in various departments. I just think they tend to look out for each other and would more likely have him park the car and drive the intoxicated officer home then make an arrest. I think it's human nature to protect your own and there are certainly arguments for and against that mentality.

Would be news to me...I have a 590A1 with a pistol grip and adjustable stock. I added the stock after I bought it but I researched it to make sure what I was doing was legal.

The otterbox commuter series is a little slimmer then the bulky defender series and may be a good fit for you. With that being said I want to pick up the magpul one for my 4s. I love magpul stuff...all American made!

Couldn't agree with you more...I know a few officers that hang out at bars nightly getting tanked and then get behind the wheel. No one would arrest a fellow officer. Normally when I go out with my LEO buddies I make them drive for this very reason. On a side note I got stopped at a DUI checkpoint. I was sick so I had one beer early in the night but stopped. My roommate got hammered. Obviously the car stunk from my roommate. I explained to the officer that I didn't drink but my passenger did. I was asked to count backwards from 67 to 59. After that I was told to have a good night. It's not much of an inconvenience but I feel stopping people like that is assuming you're guilty until you prove your innocent and I do believe there's something wrong with that.

I definitely want to check this place out. Thanks for the link

The problem I see here is if SHTF the roads are going to be death traps...you can't get around NJ when it's rush hour let alone the whole population trying to get out. NH is a long way away and there's going to be a lot of people clogging the roads. There are scenes in many movies where the remains of cars clog the roadways with dead occupants. I've recently been thinking of getting my motorcycle license and picking up an enduro. This way I can hit the dirt if I'm really trying to bug out. If I had the cash one of those polaris ranger rzr's would be pretty sweet. A mountain bike is a good idea but tough with a loaded pack and a long gun. I think my plan would be to try to bug in until the initial chaos dies down then get the hell out of here.

People may argue with me but I found the New Jersey Firearms Guild in Rahway to be top notch. Check them out they have a great selection. I dealt with a guy named joe who made buying my first handgun an absolute pleasure. He walked me through a bunch of guns and explained everything to me. He took the time to show me how to field strip it and reassemble. I had my PP but was still "shopping around". I left that day with the gun because of the service I received. I probably could've even gotten the XD9 a little cheaper but it was worth the extra for customer service like that. My last experience at Meltzer's was just that...my LAST experience. I won't hijack your thread with a long story I just find one of the guys there to be extremely rude. The older guy with the shaggy white hair and glasses is a great guy though. And their price on XM193 was almost insulting (PSA has it for HALF what they're selling it for)

My friend is having a similar experience in Rutherford. They require an appointment or interview of some sort. I thought they weren't allowed to do that? I'm glad I live in lyndhurst...4 weeks from the time I was finger printed, I had my FID and PP in hand.

Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it. Can't wait to start AR #2

Well it's going to be built into a long gun regardless...not too interested in AR pistols. It's one of my best friends so there's really no worries about what's going to happen once I have possession. I built one and got the itch to do another...maybe try doing something different. I actually inspired him and another friend to build their own. I guess we'll both do COE's unless someone else chimes in that tells me otherwise.

My friend purchased some lowers and I plan on taking one off his hands. What forms would need to be filled out between the two of us to make this legal? thanks in advance for the help

3 out and I'm about 5'10"

Thanks for the advice...I'll see if she ordered it yet...I think I told her to get the primary arms qd mount with it My buddy called me up because he was going to the Bullet Hole to pattern a 1978 Browning O/U Shotty he just picked up (what a sweet gun...super light). I brought along the AR and we put another 120 rounds through her. Absolutely flawless. He's a better shot then me (he had some sub 2" 10 shot groups) but we both put together some nice groups at full distance with the iron sights (the carry handle sight I have is crap getting magpul mbus soon). It seems to shoot the 5.56 a little better than the .223 Man i really love this rifle! Wish i could afford to shoot it as much as I want to.

Sounds like a nice build. Too bad you didn't get in on the $50 lower sale at PSA. Good luck with the build

That's a sweet bike...good luck with it!

Here's the West Virginia University marching band doing a tribute to our Armed Forces...don't know if it's a repost or not but it's pretty cool to watch. It's things like this that make me proud to be a Mountaineer. A big thanks to all our vets for serving!

Thanks! I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Yes, Magpul MOE furniture...stock, grip, and hand guard. Magpul PMag as well. My aunt is supposedly getting me a Primary Arms micro dot for Christmas so I'm going to add a Magpul rear MBUS as well. I think the Magpul stuff is a huge step up from the normal AR furniture. Plus it's American made and lightweight. It doesn't hurt that it makes the AR look so much better.

Did it myself...it's really easy...buy a small roll pin...i think i got 3/32...find where you want stock...drill,make sure you're going through the bottom part of the buffer tube (the squarish part that the stock adjust onand not the tube itself) and stock....tap in pin and drink beer you're finished there are videos on youtube that show you how it's done. I shipped the upper to Paul at Arms and Ammo to do the lug and pin the brake, quality service finished quickly.

I had the upper with the bayo lug shaved and brake attached...ordered the lower...built it...attached the stock...decided where I wanted it then pinned it...pinning it only took a few minutes...I was never in possession of a BCG so it was never a functioning gun until the build was complete...i may have interpreted the law wrong but it's finished now and jersey legal. You could probably build the lower first and decide where you want it before having the upper...it's kind of easy to tell with just the lower. It's sad we have to jump through hoops to "fix" things that are legal right across the border in PA. At least drive-by bayonetings are down...

The bcg looks fine it seems to be the same amount of wear...maybe a tiny bit more. It had zero trouble with either ammo. I measured the rifle when I bought the case and it was a little over 35" long. Probably about 35.25 definitely less than 35.5. The zombie targets were actually at the bullet hole. I bought some hornady zombie defense 9mm...just to have it haha. I find the zombie marketing hilarious. When I asked for targets she said she had the zombie ones so I had to jump on them. They had a zombie bin laden but I asked her to just give me whatever as I was in a rush. The funny thing is I kind of think the green one looks like our POTUS...is it just me?

I bought a complete upper as well. Check out PSA's rifle build kits. I don't think you can go wrong with them. They're uppers are impressive and inexpensive. Their LPK is gtg. I got the magpul upgrade and it's worth the extra scratch in my honest opinion. I went with BCM for my upper because PSA was a new player in the game and their were zero reviews about them. Now that I've read more I'm definitely going to go PSA on my next build. The cost and quality are phenomenal. Let me know if you need any help or advice. I'm fairly new to the AR but I did a whole lot of research on it before purchasing anything. Good luck with the build. My new lower shipped from PSA as well...sweet

I know how you feel. I worked on this thing for 6 months slowly ordering parts when I had some spare cash. It's such a satisfying feeling shooting something you built. Let us know how your build goes. If you lose a detent or detent spring let me know, I ordered two extra and didn't need them. I also have the castle nut wrench if you need to borrow that.

We got there around 930 or so and were in port 5. I was the shorter guy with the yellow glasses and WVU hat on. We were right next to the guy with the Mosin. Wish I had more time but you know how family obligations go. Hoping to get back there sometime this week.

Nice shooting! I believe it's a regular carbine buffer...it's whatever came with the PSA lower build kit. Can't wait to get more time at the range and really have at it with this gun. My BRD has been contagious too...I currently have 3 friends waiting on lowers because of my build (I also have another one on the way...thanks PSA $50 lower sales!)

went to the bullet hole yesterday morning to fire the AR for the first time. Brought my friend along (who lent me the tools) to fire it and check to see if it functioned correctly. We were under a serious time crunch as we had the annual trip with our families and friends to chop down Xmas trees. We bought 60 rounds (40 PMC and 20 Federal XM193) and some zombie targets and got to work. I didn't even try to sight it in, we only had about 30 minutes. I was more concerned about the function. I put the first round right through the 10 (you can see it in the pic), I only loaded one at first to make sure there were no problems. The rest we just fired off hand. It does need to be sighted but it shot phenomenally. No issues whatsoever. sights weren't way off but prob need some time to get them dead on (I'll tackle that job next time at the range when I have more time). I don't know if it was the midlength or not but this gun shot soft as hell. Casings were ejecting at 3 o'clock and I had no FTF or FTE's. Don't know if it was the brake but there was virtually no muzzle climb. this is definitely not a flash hider when you see the flash coming off it but I didn't mind it at all. I'm very impressed with the PSA trigger...it broke clean and reset was short. The Gunfighter charging handle is definitely a great upgrade as well. Guess the BCG was a non-issue as everything functioned smoothly. Here is a link to my build thread with pics of the worn BCG My AR build It made my entire day being able to finally shoot it after working on it for quite some time. Really looking forward to getting more time behind the trigger. Can't wait to get it out to a range where I can shoot for some distance. I'm going to join Cherry Ridge in the spring. Need to start buying ammo in bulk as I can see this thing will love to eat ammo. Here are some of the pics we all love to see...
