Exactly like that minus the bayonet (although I see one in the near future). Paid abut more but oh well I don't get upset over 50 bucks haha

Took a drive out to cabelas today. Was looking to pick up an inexpensive HD shotgun but wound up walking out with a 590a1 with a speedfeed stock (a bit overkill but it's tax return time). My question is what should be done before I fire it. It's got a shitload of grease on it. Do I have to fully disassemble the shotgun and clean it? This is my first shotgun so I'm definitely a newb sorry no pics unless someone can tell me how to post pics from my phone. My computer is broke

I've made a bunch of survival bracelets with it for my friends and even sold a couple. They were pretty sweet...I found a place that had buckles with rescue whistles built in. I've made a few dog collars for friends too. When I get my shotty (hopefully this weekend) I want to make a sling for it out of paracord.

I'm going to give him a call. It's a little far for me but may be worth the drive.

Any shops in jersey actually carry these things or is it something that needs to be ordered online?

So if I get a standard front sight base and a pinned muzzle brake it would be easier to go with 2 piece handguards?

Awesome thanks for the replies guys. As soon as the tax return hits the bank account I'm going to start ordering parts. Edit: now I'm confused I responded before seeing someone say yes after someone said no

But will it prevent me from swapping out handguards?

As I patiently await my tax return I've been researching a lot about building an AR. One question sort of came up and I need an answer. If you pin and weld a muzzle brake is it still possible to change handguards. I'm not talking two piece because I would think it would not matter since they are 2 piece but what about free float one piece handguards? Are there any other things pinning a muzzle brake prevents?

I'm in Lyndhurst. My local range is Bullet Hole. Would love to shoot it first. Where are you located?

That little kid he chases is scarred for life. I can see him in a psychiatrist's chair trying to figure out why he's scared of statues haha.

It's kind of like driving around in a car with a bunch of phish or grateful dead stickers. Expect the cops to assume you're a pothead. I'd say driving around with a bunch of firearms stickers would make the cops assume you have weapons. Or worse give criminals a reason to break into the car and search. I have my college sticker on my car, a mountain biking sticker, and a pennywise logo which most peope have no idea what it is. The only person who really needs to know I have a firearm is the burglar in my house and by the time he finds out it's probably too late. Funny though my buddy and I had the same conversation a week or to ago leaving the BH. There was a truck with a ton of sig stickers and we thought he was asking for trouble. My buddy actually pointed it out and he's a PA officer.

Been wondering the same thing. I've been dying to see one in person since the price is right. Was actually going to post if someone knew a place in jersey that stocks them so I can see it in person. Buds has great prices on them but I'd like to hold it first. Was thinking of trying the price request on this also. I guess if anyone knows who stocks them in jersey please pass the info on to me as well.

I don't like Meltzer's. I know tons of people that do I just find the staff there to be kind of rude. When I went to buy my first gun I felt like the guy there didn't want to help me or answer any of my questions. Even though I live 10 minutes from Meltzers I'd still rather drive to NJ Firearms Guild. I received much better service there. Joe at the Guild was awesome. Spent a few hours helping me out and I felt very confident with my purchase.

Not to start an argument but just because something is the most popular or sold the most doesn't mean it's the best. A good example would be wine. Sutter Home probably sells the most wine but it's definitely not the best. I'm not knocking the quality of either firearm I'm just saying it's a purely opinion based assessment. Many people think the glock is the best "plastic" gun. I like my Springfield xd better. See totally opinion based.

yeah i thought of that too. I'm going to do the price request on a couple of things I'm looking at to see where the shops are at compared to online.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll definitely try the price quote before I order anything. I usually prefer to buy locally but budsgunshop prices are really low.

So I was wondering what the process is for ordering a firearm online. I know it has to go through an ffl. Do I have to contact the ffl first or do I just order and pick the ffl I want from a list? Does anyone have any experiences with ffls in northern nj. I heard the hardware store in Lincoln park is the cheapest. Anyone have any experience? Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd like to meet up with you guys sometime. I live in lyndhurst so Bayonne isn't too far from me. Tonight is no good but I'll check this thread to see when you guys are shooting again.

Thanks for the advice. This isn't going to need to be anything precision. Just a range toy and a fun little project for myself. The A2 stock just doesn't do it for me. I know it's silly but I like the look of adjustable stock even if it isn't going to be adjustable. I wouldn't spend any extra money on a stock upgrade that's going to be pinned. The M4 stock is included and I've always liked the look of it.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I've pretty much seen mostly great reviews. Been thinking of getting one myself and a spikes lower. You can order them with a pinned muzzle brake and all you'd have to do is pin the stock. The way I priced it was under $800 for a really nice AR. Do you think a chrome lined barrel and chrome BCG are worth the upgrade?

Been thinking of building an AR. Saw the del-ton website and thought the kits were a good idea. I like how they can be customized many different ways. Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they worth it?

I bought a couple of factory 15 round mags at new jersey firearms guild a few months ago. Don't know if they still have them.

I have an xd9 service. It's got about 1000 rounds through it and I've had zero issues with it. I think it's a great firearm. Pick a gun that feels comfortable for you. You can't go wrong with an xd. Others to consider glock s&w m&p berretta px4 sig sauer I looked at them all and more. When it came down to it the Springfield felt great and I didn't want to break the bank. I paid $535 for mine.

I votes XD. I've shot a glock never an m&p (although I did hold the m&p). The xd felt the best in my hands. I've put almost 1000 rounds through it with zero problems. I've shot all kinds of ammo from bargain bin to expensive +p rated ammo. The gun is a tack driver. Honestly it's impossible to say which is better since all three are fantastic firearms. I chose my xd but I wouldn't feel the least bit uncomfortable trusting my life with any of the three.
