LMFAO That's awesome, made my night.

Ok, makes sense. As already stated your not gonna get that end cap over the brake. You may be able to cut the end cap and get it over but it would have to be carefully re-welded, not sure if it's worth it or not. Also remember the gas tube has to go through it as well. Anyway nice looking ar. Is that on an rra lower?

Jack, Bring it over tomorrow night I have a spring for you.

freejersey, Is the brake just pinned or pinned and welded? Can you post a pic of it?

This is a used Model Stag-15 5.56MM marked lower assy. Round count is in the neighborhood of 500. I was running an RRA 2-stage in this, but I put the original fcg back in it. It has a CAR style post ban fixed comm stock assy on it. Magpul MOE trigger guard. Lower has minor handling and use marks but nothing bad. Buffer tube and castle nut have marks from removal and installation. Price is $265 FTF SOLD NJ FID with matching address DL, as well as NJ COE form filled out to purchase.

We need a new forum sub-section; NSFNP- Not safe for normal people

Yes that is true, distances were measured by how many beers the trip would take. It seemed crazy to me that you could be stopped for speeding and speak to an officer while sipping on a beer with a loaded firearm on your side and be legal as long as you were not drunk, but it did happen.

Good post Dan, +1

I have lived in both Wyoming and Northwestern Pennsylvania as well as spent time in Cottonwood, Arizona and the surrounding areas. I know it is very difficult to understand why someone would OC vs CC. For the most part I tend to agree. However in areas where firearms are as common, or even more common then cars, OC was a more common sight then I would of thought. Yellowstone Park is obviously a huge tourist attraction and brings people in from all over the world. My preference would be to CC in the more populated areas of the Park and OC when out on the trail/camping. I have absolutly no problem with someone who does otherwise. During the mid-1990's in Wyoming it was legal to OC your beer and drink it while riding down the road so long as you were a passenger. I wonder if it is still that way today. There is a great big wide world out there past the borders of NJ and you don't even have to leave this great nation to see a lot of it.

SSSSHHHH It's at AREA 51

You are going to get alot of opinions on this one. In the end you should try them both and if possible, timed. This will determine which optic is best for you. FWIW I have both an Eotech 517 and an Aimpoint T1 and have had zero issues with either one. The Aimpoint Pro gets great reviews but I have not used one yet personally. Here's a link to a good article that was written a few years ago. http://demigodllc.com/articles/fighting-carbine-optics-for-the-ar-15/

Lol

Good point. We should start calling generals and majors.

I will admit out of the box the M&P did feel kind of like a toy to me as well. I threw on some leftover and cheap azz tacticool stuff I had laying around to put some weight on it.

Not that it is a viable option but PARA 14.45 solves the capacity problem. The 14.45 I shot I liked the size, but it had one of the worst 1911 triggers I have ever shot. I agree that plastic fantasic would be the way to go. Glock FTW and I don't even own one.

No problem, let me know.

cutterOne, X2 on M&P15-22. Plus it's based on the AR platform. You can rent one to try it out up at Heritage Guild in Easton,PA or better yet you could meet me one night next week to try it out if you'd like. I saw 3L so I am assuming you are a lefty as well?

What about Santa on Dec. 25th. "IF" he has a firearm with him. Is he covered under FOPA or is he covered under a seperate Santa Clause?

Nice. What length barrel on your OBR?

Nice for a BBQ gun.

Geez, he was lucky to get it back in Newark.

FWIW this is quoted from an interview with Chris Costa, "When we have a student show up with a carbine with iron sights it gets difficult to teach because they have to close one eye. The reason why I’m a bit against irons is because you shouldn’t be closing an eye during a gunfight. When you’re in a close gunfight you need to be 100% focused on the threat. That means that you’re not going to be able to shift your focus back to the rear sight, line up the front sight, and then line everything up on a target and fire. With the red dot something floats between you and the other person that requires no lining up other than putting the dot on the target’s chest, and then you can pull the trigger." Edit: expanded on exactly what HKHockey said.

I used a Vortex Viper 6.5-20X44 with mil-dot recticle on my budget 308 rifle, 24" ss barrel. Not a SHTF sniper rifle by any means, but I am more than happy with it for entry level glass and my own limitations. BTW falls slightly under $500.

Welcome and good luck with your purchases
