Yellowshaker

Guys, I have searched, but could not find the answer to my question. I currently own an AR-15 that I purchased from an FFL. I would like to build my own at some point in the future and I am trying to be clear on the laws here in our great state. I would like to build something for longer range than the one i currently own and my question is about the muzzle device. If you are running a barrel longer than 16 inches, do you still have to have it permanently attached? From what I have read, it seems the only reason to have this done is for barrel length to be in accordance with the law. Again, sorry if this has been covered.

My Chiappa Rhino 200DS. Love this thing!

Just got two in myself today. I was told at the PD that it will definitely be a couple of months...sigh...and the wait begins.

So...does this mean that all action movies with gun violence will also be cancelled? Someone better tell all the actors in hollywood to find a new career. Assholes.

Great gnus. I have the standard M&P.40. Love it!

Blueline, it would seem so. IDo you ever go to the PBA range on Sundays? I have been attending as much as I can and I try to go during the week at least once or twice too. The Rhino is alot of fun to shoot and I also want to buy another one in white with the 5 inch barrel...another expensive one though.

I appreciate the replies, fellas. The Scorpion is the Sig 1911 version as Blueline stated. I have a Springfield XDm in .45, an S&W M&P 40, a Chiappa Rhino 200 DS, High point 9mm carbine, Mossberg 500, and an RRA operator in 5.56. I have researched the FN for a long time and like what it can achieve. I planned to shoot up[ in PA at Easton fish and game, so that's not a problem, though it'd be nice to have a local option. I was recently considering the Remington 1911 at Casso's as well, but then decided that the 5.7 is what I wanted...then along came the Scorpion...sigh what to do? LOL For home defense, any one of my handguns would do the trick...or the shotty of course. LOL

I am submitting an app for another HG permit and had every intention of it going towards the FN 5.7. Well, I was in Casso's last week and saw the Scorpion...now I cannot decide between the two. I know it is apples and oranges, but I cannot decide between them...and no, I can't buy both.

Here are a few of mine to add...

I was thinking the same thing about the HD on those guns LOL. I haven't fired the magnum rounds yet, as they are not allowed at the local range. Hopefully this weekend I will get to PA and try it out.

I know it's ben a while, nbut I've had a lot going on since buying the Rhino. I finally got to the range with it and probably put 150 rounds through it. I couldn't be happier with the way it performs. As advertised on the recoil and in the right hands very accurate. One of the gentleman at the range took a shot with it and was able to cut a card in half at around 8 to 10 yards away. Much bettre shot than I am but it showed that the gun is dead on. I feel that it was well worth buying and I hope to geet back to shooting it soon. It certainly is a fun gun to shoot.

Hey everyone. I just purchased a set of these and was wondering about the installation process for a M&P 40. Is it worth it to instll them myself or should i find someone to do it for me? What should I pay if I go the latter route?

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Didn't know that you could have that work done and get a price quote online for it. Pretty cool.

Of course it is...silly me. One day that I might have some time to spare...oh well, maybe next week then.

Happy Holidays to you too! You went to shops in NJ that had non-compliant AR's??? As far aas I knew, manufacturers would not ship a non compliant gun to an store.

It is the EXPS3. Yes, it has 4 dots. Well, like I said, I had the cover, so figured I'd throw it on the sight. Too bad the magnifier don't have covers while being stored though...oh well. I did realize that focusing on the target brings clarity to the sight, like you said. I messed with the settings in different lighting conditions and again, you are right. There is a sweet spot for it. I can't wait to try this thing.

Ok, that video got my attention....

As far as grip postition goes, it shows in the manual the proper way to holfd the weapon safely. This is not at all uncomfortable to do and feels natural, so this is not an issue for me. Concerning the sighting, I am sure that Chiappa took the 6 o'clock firing position into account when building the sighting for the gun. On the 2' version, the sights are fixed. i know that all the other versions have adjustable sights. Thinking about it, the 2" really would not be used for long shots anyway. I spoke to one firrearms instructor who says his buddy was getting 3 inch groups with the 2" rhino @ 25 yrds. Of course, my results will vary from his. LOL

I am not sure, but I think Casso's just got a few more in stock. As I said before, I would like to get to the range this Sunday to test it out. I will post here if I am definitiely going, so feel free to join me there if you want to try it yourself.

I have the S&W M&P 40. It was my first handgun, and I have shot quite a few others in the same caliber. For me, this was the most comfortable gun. I like the grips and the overall feel of this weapon. I am now consdiering a compact version of it for my next gun. I have to agree with the others on trying a few out for yourself though. Everyone is built differently and what may fit me, may not fit you.

Here are a few more pics with the GG&G cover installed. I don't think it is something that absolutely needs to be installed, but a friend gave it to me, so why not, right? I took a couple of oics of the sight powered up. The first is with the sight only and the second is with the magnifier. The brightness setting is the same in both pictures.

I like the magnifier. The sight has the BDC built into it with 4 dots that are supposed to be up to 600 meters. With the magnifier, the sight is very cclear and I think it should be quite accurate one it is zeroed. Without the magnifier, the reticle is not quite as clear, but this is normal,a s per Eotech's manual. Again, it also depends on the intensity setting and lighting conditions. All around, I like this thing alot and hope to become proficient with it soon. Anyone have any suggestions on the best ranges to try this thing out?

I agree it is a bit heavy, exspecially with the eotech, but still well worth the price. I am not at all regretting the purchase of the rifle or the sight. Now...iff I can only get some time to actually shoot the thing.

I have heard nothing but good things about RRA's guns. As I said, I have yet to fire this one, but friend's of mine own them and say they perform flawlessly. This is why I bought it in the first place...and at this rate, I'll never have to worry about problems with it. It'll be new forever. LOL

Thanks guys LOL I like to think of it as "different" instead of ugly. I am hoping to get to the range with it asap. A friend came over to check it out the other night, and he went to the store the next day to order one. Pics don't really do it justice, but I guess that is the same with any gun. you have to like it. If anyone wants to try it out, I am trying to get to the Bayonne range possibly this Sunday.
