Lol, everyone on the forums here will say not to buy a mini-30, and buy either an AR, SKS, or AK instead. When you ask why though people don't have a straight answer lol. Not a lot of love for the mini platform here

I've never been there, but a friend from school (He's an older guy, named Victor) is a member there, might be an RO also. But he's a really cool guy, and he's always talked well of it.

Ordered it, didn't think to search for coupons, but I'm also super-tired. Oh well. Maybe now I can hit something outside of 50yds without having to aim about a foot below haha. My gf wants me to get it sighted in because she wants to go shoot some stuff soon. She's been begging me to take her again.

Also, where would you guys recommend ordering one of these for a good price, but where they won't be fake--I did some research, apparently there are fake Daniel Defense sights floating around. DISREGARD THAT, PLACING ORDER ON MIDWESTPX.COM. Didn't even think of that lol DISREGARD THE DISREGARDING, apparently MidwestPX is out of stock. Oh well. I got lucky that my Matech is real, apparently there are fakes of those out there as well.

I've been watching more anime lately, been really into Attack on Titan also. But I also dig a lot of the germanic references in that show that go unnoticed by most of the fans lol. Trying to find more stuff to watch, I had realized I never really watched much GITS, besides a few of the "complex" episodes about the laughing man case. If you have any other recommendations, let me know. lol--just don't spoil anything XD Currently on the episode "Portraitz". Like, right now lol.

Oh, also, dumb question, but is there any real difference between the Daniel Defense and the Yankee Hill Sights? Like, is one better than the other?

Scorpio, you know what's funny? I saw your picture there, I'm actually watching Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex right now. Weird. Also, for some reason the upload kept failing, so here's the pic

Here it is. Actually, I'd like a fixed sight more, especially if they're cheaper lol. I want metal, I just like the flared barley-corn profile of the sight. If there's more recommendations, let me know, I'm going to look up the ones you guys suggested, hopefully I can find something used (EDIT, I forgot to actually attach the picture.) .

So I haven't been around in a while. Last time I was on NJGF, I mentioned having lost my job due to the state seizing it claiming we didn't pay sales tax, then said I was uneligible for unemployment (didn't make enough money, though they still taxed me for it). Anyway, I am now employed with two places for the summer, and have some money. I really like the Yankee Hill Machine flipping front sight, as well as the Troy and KAC (Though I don't think I want to pay that much). Now, I want to mount the sight to my gasblock, and use it with my Matech rear sight. I read the YHM works really well, but I'm not sure which to get. My gasblock is railed, and is the same height as my railed upper. Anyway, if someone could help me out by saying, "THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT DUMMY, IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED" I'd really appreciate that. I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for or not. If you guys need more info, let me know I want to get this thing on there, as my girlfriend has been begging me to take her shooting again, and she likes the AR. http://www.amazon.com/Yankee-Hill-Machine-Plane-YHM-9627/dp/B008YNFTGU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1MQ0Q6YPXVEJHSWVGH9X

Lol, actually the hipoints ive seen function better than i expected. I just hate that the carbines lack a true safety.

Ive seen that elsewhere too. On r/gunsforsale, someone wanted to buy 50rds of .32, and like, 100 rounds of 8mm mauser surplus for $40 shipped. Shipping alone would have been almost $20.

Meh... I'd rather my gf get a hipoint than a Glock. They're both cheap to make, but hipoint is priced as such. (Long story, but basically doing research, Glock did the same thing as Grey Goose vodka, jacked up the price the manufacturer sells it for to about 300% markup to make them seem higher quality. I hate them based on that.) Now a P226, I'd love to have one, and you could always just get a 9 barrel and slide, hell, if anything that might not be too bad just because then you can use either or. Plus it's probably cheap to buy a used barrel and slide.

You could also just sell them, and ship them via UPS, or Fedex, then utilize that cash to purchase ammo.

Well shit, finally a topic I can answer with some expertise in. Sears Craftsman are generally considered kind of crappy. However, mine has the reliability of an AK. When we first got it, I kept bending over while emptying the bag in a way which caused my trashbag to melt onto the radiator. It's also stored in an old tin-shed that's rusted and falling apart, and with a dirt floor, so it's essentially out in the elements. I've never changed the air filter in the 7 years I've owned it, never sharpened the blades, add oil maybe once a year, use stale gas in it, a squirrel chewed the gascap so much it has holes in it, exposing the gas to the air, the covering around the engine is cracked, there's literal shit caked into the wheels, and it's coated in so much dirt that a moment ago, when I went to check what brand it was, I had to wipe it off in order to read the branding. We've had that damn lawn mower at least 7 years, and it keeps chugging along. My poppop had a craftsman riding mower and that thing lasted forever also, so I guess it depends. Also, never get an electric lawn mower, cords are a pain in the dick for lawn equipment, they get in the way, and i can't even picture how one can get a nice pattern going with an electric lawnmower. That being said, for weedwhackers, electric will serve you nicely. Personally, I've found you don't really need to spend a lot to get something good. I've had both good Black and Deckers, and Grass hogs. I think the gas ones suck because they can be hard to start, and you have to mix gas and oil, and i really can't be bothered to do that. But I did own one for a while, and I couldn't get the thing started to save my life. Just make sure if you go electric, you get an extension cord on one of those things you can use to roll the cord up in, it will make your life much easier. But yeah, this type of stuff is kinda my bread and butter. People will say to go out and get some fancy, expensive lawnmower. Trust me, there's really no difference, and it's not like you're cutting a golf course. If you're interested in riding mowers, Cub Cadets are pretty awesome in my opinion, and my poppop's runs like it did when he first got it, probably 12 years ago at this point (looks brand new also, he keeps it clean). If you're not a professional, there's really no need to spend a ton of money, because odds are you won't be using and abusing your equipment all that much, especially if your property is small. Maybe tomorrow I'll post a picture of my mower to show just how screwed up that thing is lol... still works fine though.

My ex was half-Taiwanese, after her American father died, she lived there for 10 years. She said that they actually brought the school kids down to a range and taught them to shoot. I think it was a sort of "Well, if mainland China invades, we'll put up some level of civil resistance" sort of thing though. I know that my current gf didn't tell her family, as her sister would not be very happy, though I think her father wanted to get a gun, her mom wouldn't let him. Which sucks, because they live in PA, so he wouldn't even have to deal with all the BS we deal with.

That's pretty much what I wanted to avoid, so I was pretty up front about it right away. I think she originally was actually an anti, but knew nothing about them. As she learned more, she became more gun-friendly, asking me to teach her how they operate mechanically. Then she wanted to go shooting, and now she wants to learn how to hunt--which is a real surprise, as I don't even hunt. But I'm not certain that I'm teaching her correctly... Her two favorite guns are the AR7, and the Hipoint Carbine lol.

No, her parents have been talking about taking me to a Vietnamese restaurant for over a year now, but I haven't been to her house for a while, we ususlaly hangout in Philly, or in Jersey. So far though, her family doesn't really seem to have picked up much of the French influence. I know some Vietnamese people think France is cool, and cook french food, but the only pastry I've ever seen them have was a Jewish Apple Cake I made them haha.

Damn, you got lucky haha. I emailed them today, they're saying the order is likely to be filled 9/25.

Dang, I've never heard of some of that stuff. I'm going to ask my gf about it XD. So far the only thing I've refused to eat is hot ga lon. Though I've never had any of their baked goods, my gf made it seem like they never have cakes, or any baked goods really.

You ought to try making Vietnamese food. It's delicious, nothing beats homemade Pho. I'd have to agree, I don't do competition shooting, as I think I've only even been target shooting 10 times in my life, but I know that's my aspiration. It just looks like so much fun!

Lol, I love how quick BLF was to jump on that XD. I go through phases in all my hobbies. One month, I'll really want to play more videogames, another I'll want nothing more than to get some more gun stuff, then i'll want to work on rockhounding and will totally not care about gun stuff, then i'll get really into anime and manga again, then i'll reach a saturation point with that, and get back into guns or something. That's just how I am. I've gone through phases of not being super gun-ho about guns, but I know for me it was mainly due to the hobby being cost-prohibitive for me. I generally didn't have the cash to get a range membership of my own, not to mention ammo is expensive, I noticed that earlier this year, just prior to being unemployed I had a good bit of extra cash, and i really started getting more and more excited about guns.

Yeah, I meet up last monday with Rosie, and we shot a few things at Old Bridge. I shot pretty well with Dave's .22 revolver, but I was shocked how well my girlfriend shot my Savage MKII. For a first time shooter, I was pretty impressed. The linked picture is her target, but we kept using the same paper--only the ones on the black bulls-eye were from her with the rifle (I guess about 50" or so.) She said that shooting was one of the most fun things she's ever done, and she's super-pumped about shooting more, and maybe getting her own gun. The only thing she was nervous of shooting was my VZ24

A little update on this, Still waiting on the ammo. Has anyone else ordered any .22 off Cabelas since March and gotten it, (Or, still have failed to get it)?

Good for them! I've always advocated taking someone shooting who's on the fence. When a gun is an abstract thing that someone's never handled, it's easy for them to believe the BS people say about them. Once someone actually goes shooting and enjoys it, well, I've never met a person who wasn't pro-gun after that. I've converted a dozen or so people. I think the best thing people can do for 2A is to take a noob shooting. Plus, it's an excuse to go to the range, you know, for your rights and stuff XD.

My friend wanted to thank all you guys, he's really relieved. When the whole thing went down, the cops took his dad's guns, and they've been sitting at the police station for like, a year. (They were PA residents who later moved to NJ--all NJ legal stuff as they're hunters, a couple 870s, things like that). But in order for the police to return the guns to his father, his dad needs to get his FPID (which he may have done, we're not sure). But my friend wants to get his, but was worried this would count against him. It was a whole bad situation, basically they broke up, and his ex got mad, and filed the order to get back at him. He's a good guy who I'd trust my life to, and I felt bad that he could be unable to get his FID due to this. When he asked for what I thought, I figured you guys would be the best place to ask. Thanks for the info guys!
