  1. Too bad its close in proximity to that hockey puck.
  2. It really depends. If you're responsible with your oil change, use a good conventional. Running a vehicle since the beginning on synthetics have shown to have great results, but switching to synthetics on an older vehicle can actually cause leaks. On the vehicles I maintain, everything gets conventional. A 2013 lease so I don't care, a 2009 that probably needs cam work (long story, but it ticks at 40k and is a known problem from the manufacturer), a 1993, and a 1973. The 1993 leaks with synthetic and I haven't bothered with conventional in the 1973.
  3. Unless you have a friend to 'own' one for you, you're practically SOL for owning one and living in the PRNJ. I legally live in NJ, and therefore I don't legally own my M1 or my illegal AR. My dad is the technical owner of both. My parents moved to PA, and I legally moved in with my aunt here so I can save $14k on school. I looked into dual residency so I can get my LTCF and its a no-no. I spend 75% of my time in Newark at school, then the rest is a mix of my legal residence in NJ and some in PA. As for my M1, its a post Korean war rebuild. In its WWII configuration it lacked a bayo lug and had a terrible rear sight.
  4. I'm tired of seeing everyone show off their 'other' M1s and GI 1911's, so I decided to share mine. Kinda crappy pics, but whatever. Its a 7-1942 production date Inland Division of GM M1. 30 Carbine is hard to find and/or expensive these days. I wish I could have owned one before, but I'm happy now I'm out of the PRNJ
  5. I still want to know what you're supposed to do if you bought one from an FFL.
  6. I've ran into my fair share of crazy beggars in Newark. Not the random homeless person looking for a dollar, I mean genuine crazy beggars. Usually high on something or drunk. There's actually a woman who practically is a professional. She runs between three fast food drive thrus looking for money. Nonviolent but persistent. Without a doubt, she will be there every night and has been for at least five years now.
  7. Ahh, yes. I was mistaking the flue for the metal thing that seals the fireplace from the chimney when not in use. Remember how I said I know nothing about fireplaces or stoves? Anyway, assuming I have a 8"x10" chimney with a terracotta liner. I would need a 6" round steel liner like you mentioned. You then recommended sealing the stainless liner by the flue with perlite which I assume is concrete like. Thing is, what do I do for the stovepipe/exhaust for the stove? Just plumb the stove directly to the liner (which would then basically make the liner a stovepipe I assume)? Thanks!
  8. Probably martial law and you have no more rights/responsibilities.
  9. I definitely want to do it myself, unfortunately though I don't know what I am doing yet lol. I guess my first course of action is to figure out what type of chimney I have and how the lining is. Once I get to buying a stove and such, is installation as simple as knocking out the flute, and plumbing stovepipe up the chimney, insulating where the flute used to be, then buying a specific chimney topper? FWIW, I am nowhere near installing a stove. I still have more homework to do, and I'm just trying to get basics now.
  10. I recently moved into a 60's house with electric baseboard heating and a fireplace in the lower room. I'd like to change it to have a wood burning stove, to save money as apparently a fireplace will make the rest of the house colder. Has anyone done this themselves? I'd like to craigslist a stove, then route the stove pipe through the chimney. As I understand, there is a proper way to do this and about twenty ways not to. Since my truck burst into flames this summer, I would prefer to not set my house on fire. I really know nothing about chimneys or fireplaces. I don't even have a chimney topper and I don't even know if I need one.
  11. You're pretty much out of luck. Everything is either a creepy road, a hiking trail, or a good place to get arrested.
  12. Never with a firearm, thank god. Once I was shooting my paintball gun on my 14th birthday, and stupidly put my face against the back of it trying to get a better sight picture. Whacked my nose on the cocking handle.
  13. Thank you! Good feedback is always nice. The barrel is indeed 20". Seeing as how it is surplus, it is a 1/12" twist which is interesting in itself. It will apparently shoot 55 grain perfectly, while 62 grain will keyhole under 100 yards.
  14. I figured I needed to show off. I started building this during the Obamalypse. It is a LRB lower, with USGI surplus Colt stock/handguards/barrel and a surplus Martin Marietta (of Lockheed Martin) upper. Flash hider and bayonet lug are intact because I'm a refugee and fled the Peoples Republic. The lower I hit with Brownells Alumahyde because the retro Arfcommers told me it would match. It matches better in person. I still need a '16A1 pistol grip, but I'll wait. Sarco wants a stupid amount of money. I would also like a trapdoor stock, but I got the barrel/handguards/stock for free.
  15. Whats a standard double action pull? My 4" 64 has an absolutely fantastic trigger, but it was well used by Australians before I got it. Speaking of Colts... My dad has a Detective Special that I love, but the trigger is awful on the thing. Remixer, thanks for the offer but I have to change my address and apply for permits. Could be three months, could be a year for all I know.
  16. Are the stock triggers on these things okay? Only because every S&W revolver I have used had a fantastic trigger. No J-Frames though
  17. I need a CCW handgun and my pickiness and cheapness has led me towards a S&W 642. I'm wondering if any of you have any advice towards a different J-Frame for any reason at all. My price limit is $400 or so, and I am sticking to S&W even though someone is going to say get a LCR. I want the 642 because I can get one new with S&W's lifetime warranty and the centennial is an interesting design. It seems as if all of the other J-Frames are basically the same as a 36. I kind of want a Model 10 or 64 K frame snub, but I want something that can easily be had. The LEO trade in snub guns are hit or miss for availability.
  18. I wonder if you could have an AR that says AK47 on it.
  19. Jack and Bills was kinda crappy, but I'm pretty upset about Marucas. Sad irony is, both of their places (old one, and new one where the beach comber was) probably burned. BTW, what occupied Marucas old store this summer? I never made it down...
  20. What has caught? Sawmill, the ice cream place where it started, Kuppers, stevie d's, what else?
  21. I will say, George's speeches (one in the office on the 11th and one at WTC on the 14th) were excellent.
  22. I believe everyone does. I was in my fifth grade classroom.
  23. The brits and many Commonwealth nations used revolvers until the BHP caught on post war. The USAF used 38's until the M9. I'd also suspect a 1911 is easier to produce than a 1911.
  24. I went to high school with the kid involved with that crash. I won't go into details but i'll say that the people he hit really caused some damage to the kids life. I understand it's the kids fault, but it was a very messy situation.
