I went on the 8th but couldn't today. Am I blind or Has no one posted what happened today???? What happened today?

Let me make a commitment to my brothers! In celebration AFTER we prevail here in NJ, I will take my entire collection of impeccably built variant rifles to Ft. Dix and anyone who wants to shoot them can. I'll even bring 2 spam cans even though the countries supply of 7.62x39 is on E big time! I have some real beauties, all built by the best builders in the country. I even have an East German built by Mario at A Piece Of History. Not many of those floating around Jersey I'll tell you that! In addition... a gorgeous Bulgarian Suchka, a TIGR and many more! Anyone care to join me???? Sorry to go off topic.... Take that troll! Also... I expect you guys to hold me to that!

Trenton Mariott is very close and has a parking deck.

You will be able to get a cab for sure. The walk down East State St. to West State St. can be a little seedy when its quiet down there but at 1pm its fine. I work in Trenton sometimes and walk around that area... It looks worse than it is. Most of the crime and gang problems are on the West side far beyond the Capital buildings.

As stated above... It's about a mile away. Take the rail to the last stop.... the Trenton Transit Center. Ask someone or use your phone to get to East State Street. Hang a left on East State... Walk about 3/4 of a mile to West State Street. It will be on your left.

Just thinking as I type this... As much as we hate them... Notify whatever press we can that numbers are going to turn out for a "rally"? Maybe it will generate some attention, that could potentially work in our favor. These critters don't like the heat from that magnifying glass. Could possibly create a quick and unfruitful session with regard to the proposed legislation. Idk... Just a thought.

I was in Trenton last year for that armor piercing ammo nonsense (I think that's what that nonsense was about). I showed up for that. I will be there again on the 8th. I'm sure we will have more people there this time around. I'm hoping at least. Honestly... It does make a difference! Not just in theory but FOR REAL!! When these idiots are being bombarded by us they get flustered... Very flustered. If we make it a circus that gavel will hit that sounding block quicker than you could imagine.... And that speaker will be saying the same shit as last year. "At this point we're going to revise the language of the proposed legislation and reconvene at a later date". In the hallway before and after the session have your phones out and let's ask some tough questions on video for the record. I did this last time minus the phone and that was stupid because that assembly woman from Newark lied straight to my face. Whatever that C's name was.

Bob Costas just made a very strong Anti Firearm statement during Sunday night Football Halftime

People die everyday in shootings. Whether it be in Camden, Philadelphia, Trenton, NY. Everyday my friend. I work in Trenton... it's not pretty. Do you bow your head in condolence for these people everyday???? No... you don't. Do I feel badly about people dying in that shooting today? Absolutely YES. Are things like this going to happen no matter what? Yes. As ignorant as it may sound... my concern is myself, my family and my 2A rights. My apologies for not expressing enough sympathy for the people who died in this shooting.

This ruined my DAY! I was planning on going go to the range this weekend but this completely took the wind out of my sails! Events like this steal my desire to go shooting. All I can think about is how Trenton is going to either try to put further restrictions in place or take our stuff completely. This is what they needed! All of a sudden I have no desire to go shooting this weekend. I felt this way during the Arms Trade Treaty last month. It just makes me really somber and worry about the thousands upon thousands I have spent on my collection. Just really takes me out of the mood... and that upsets me.

I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet. Surprised. http://www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2012/07/police_paramus_man_who_threatened_to_kill_cops_had_stockpile_of_weapons.html

And oh... Glenn... I'm sure you are a historically correct kind of gun guy. Am I wrong? So having a NATO chamber in a Commie gun just doesn't make sense to you. I get that1 I'm a historically correct kind of guy myself. I mean look at it... I'm scrounging for something to do AK related... it will most likely be the 5th and probably last AK variant.

Glenn that is awesome information... I mean just stellar info! Quite frankly it makes me question whether or not I want to pursue .223 in an AK platform... Aside from the mags of course. 15 rounders don't exist but I can get 15/30's no problem. And from what I read the East German mags feed fine... I read very few threads where people complained of feeding problems. Let me tell you why I chose to pursue a SAR specifically. I DON'T HAVE ONE! LMMFAO! And from what I understand they have looser tolerances than Saigas, therefore maintain more overall reliablity. So... if I'm going to pursue a .223 variant and already know there are going to be some potential reliabilty problems associated with the cartridge it should probably be a SAR versus a Saiga. People argue over the build quality of SARs and WASRs versus Saigas... Saigas probably are of better build quality... I mean... I guess. Who knows. But Glenn... you do raise great points, however, having two 7.62s and a 5.45 I need new territory to explore and I thought a .223 may be it. I don't want to have problems of course. I was just thinking of a SHTF situation and having to scavenge the country side in search of ammo. 7.62 v 5.45 v .223? What will there be more surplus of when no more ammo is readily available? But I hear ya... with AK lovers, myself included, we have apprehensions and an aversion to .223. Dude... I don't even own anything chambered in .223 yet if you can believe that... and my safe is pretty full.

Lol to the eye rolling. I have two 7.62s a 5.45 and an S12. I think I have the AK variant thing pretty well covered. Aside from the fact that .223 is in the top 10 most popular USA rifle carts... possibly even top 5. Eventhough there is a ton of 7.62x39, which I agree is abundant and cheap, the 7.62x39 isn't on that list. When SHTF is there gonna be more .223 or 7.62X39? I'd probably take my chances with .223. So why not have my favorite type of rifle in that chamber? An AK in .223??? How could you go wrong? Mags are no problem at all... I don't agree with that. I can get pinned East German .223 mags easy... no sweat. 5.45 mags with 5.56 followers wouldn't be first choice... better off with actual 5.56 mags. Either the E.German, Bulgarian or possibly even modified Norinco mags... not sure about that one though. Not worried about mags really.

I may pick up a used SAR3 to add to the AK collection. In their stock configuration they don't possess any legality issues for NJ... correct? Nude barrel/no threads and no accessory or bayonet lugs. At least that's the way it appears when I looked at photos of the gun and read through the PDF manual online. I know some of you guys have SARs so I figured I'd be able to gather the proper info. Thanks fellas

As far as what other people think at the range... I've never personally had a problem. I have (5) 15/30 AK mags... you can't get any more evil looking than that... no one has ever said dick to me... and I go to Range 14, which is public. But over all... I hate these types of discussions... it causes me to worry. I have 20 pop riveted AK mags between my two AK's.... 15 are 15/20's and 5 are 15/30's. All are pop riveted and all of the floor plates come off... the springs and followers don't come out of course. Threads like this cause me to worry.

My variant rifle has a bare/naked barrel like I'm sure many of yours have. I have seen a slant brake here or there on some of your pictures here at the Forum but I never see anyone here with a picture of a variant rifle with this type of compensator. If I thread, attach and pin this type of compensator to my rifle will the rifle be legit in NJ? Will I draw unwanted attention? I of course will have it permanently pinned, that is without question.
