302w

I'm on my second leek. I had my first one for a little under two months until I lost it, and I was devastated. Mostly because it was MY Kershaw and I took damn good care of it. It was the rainbow one. Sandvik 14c28N steel iirc. Now I'm on my second, an S30V with G10 handles. The thing is a tank. The edge retention is awesome.

Did a transfer there. Place is.... interesting. Nice guy though. Don't cut a hex 91/30!

I graduated in 2009 and consider myself lucky that we had wood shop, metal shop, as well as autoshop. I blacksmithed myself a crowbar and walked around with it for the rest of the day until I got yelled at.

Special thanks to Clintoon Eastwood for selling me the original rifle. I decided to go with Minwax Red Mohagany stain and amber shellac. Color matches my original 91/30 quite well.

I have some USGI Web gear that I inherited, mostly M1956. I used it for airsoft when one was younger because it was free, it worked, and I didn't feel like I was looking too Call of Duty. Plus I have an uber tacticool mosin pouch.

I finally finished the project and I don't think it looks too bubba. I really hate hicked out rifles and I think I did a decent job. I need to do some blue work on it but it's mostly there. The barrel looked like the surface of the moon before I cut it so I don't feel bad. Edit: won't post pics with my Phone. I'll edit later.

Depends. What caliber do you want? I say that a 223 bolt rifle is one of the best rifles out there. When things were normal, you could go through a few boxes cheaply and it wouldn't kill your Shoulder. Savage and Remington are always good choices. Plus a cheapo Mosin is always fun.

I drink Miller/Yuengling anyway.

Would you sell/transfer a modified bayonet lug on an AR? I've heard of some people shaving off the little locking "ears" on a AR bayo lug to make it compliant. I would like to do that, but I don't know how damn NJ would like it. It technically won't mount a bayonet but you never know. Id rather not cut the entire thing off. Same deal for a flash hider. Debating on welding/soldering/brazing a 1/4" ID washer over my three prong hider to legalize it. Or insert a 3/8" OD/ 1/4" ID inbetween the prongs. Reason I ask because all of these things (except possibly the washer) would technically be legal on an AR, but after all "the gun owner acts at his own peril" here. I figure that if its not too risky for an FFL to transfer, I'd be fine.

350? 327? 305?

I need a rattlecan of Gun Kote or Brownells Aluma-Hyde II but I don't want to pay a hazmat fee on one stupid can if possible. Anywhere in NJ have it? I'm looking for XM gray. I bought a can of engine paint to paint my lower, and while the cap was an exact match to my upper, my lower now looks bright silver. At least I did a nice job applying it. I also don't have a paintgun so that isn't an option.

Marty is one of the few players I'm not angry with. Kovalchuck, Larsson, and maybe Hedberg as well. I'm curious to see where PDB is next year. I'm not entirely blaming him though.

Who would of thought, a Rangers fan trying to get in a pissing match.

Hows the trigger on the M&P vs the 5906?

The cicada wasps are scary looking fo sho. The things look like yellow jackets but are the size of shrimp. First time I ever saw one I was sitting in a parking lot around sunset with my dog and about 5-6 of the things come flying out of a hole in the ground. When it comes to killing bees, nothing beats gasoline and some good old fire.

I found out it is a barrel indexing pin. ADCO machine can do it for me, but it is going to cost $25 which isn't terrible. I have the option to drill it out myself and replace it, which I will pass on. Who's a compitent gunsmith in north Jersey that doesn't rob you on pricing?

I just picked up a Colt USGI M16A1 barrel and I think it's toast. The little notch on the barrel that fits into the cutout on the upper to center it appears to be broken off. It actually looks like a little stud or screw that was pressed or threaded into the barrel and snapped. Regardless of what it is/was, I'm pretty sure it needs to be there. Anyone ever have this happen before? any remedies to this situation? I am sure that I could have the barrel centered and then torque down the barrel nut, but it doesn't seem like the "right" way.

I haven't been shooting at RTSP in awhile. I do stop in to buy stuff once in awhile. Their service to me has always been good. I've been there when it was swamped and I didn't get helped until I said I wanted to buy something which I can't blame them. If they're busy, I don't expect them to show me the pretty 586 or whatever. When it's slow, I've had great experience. I've BSed with the owner enough and found him to be polite, even taking his 1911 off of his hip, unloading it, and letting me hold it. Thing is.. I don't consider them a gun store. They're a range first, and a store second. I'll never buy ammo because they're not the type of store that sells ammo for people to shoot elsewhere.

Rtsp is nice but you don't get great service if they're busy. Their gun prices are alright, and ammo is terrible. I think it's a great place to shoot on a rainy day.

Any reason why more people don't have the little locking tabs/lugs taken off? I can see some issues with it, but at the same time it is no longer a bayo lug. BMW, keep me posted. Any thoughts on my washer plan? I like the look of the three prong but a manufactured one seems "safer". After all, "the gun owner acts at his own peril" here.

I currently have a USGI M16A1 Upper, barrel, and furniture with a commercial lower and LPK. I have a few uhm.... eithical decisions... 1. The front sight has a bayonet lug. I am NOT installing it on my upper and I have made sure to follow NJ's laws and not have constructive intent. Thing is, my barrel and front sight are original Colt USGI and I don't know if I want to cut off the bayonet lug. It survived since the 60's and I don't want to neuter it for the PRNJ. I'd rather swap it for a common one and cut that. At the same time, it seems as if the only front sight bases that will fit are only USGI since this doesn't use a standard A2 profile. Also... its a lot easier to cut it off than to replace it... MAYBE if I carefully cut it, I can have it rewelded one day. 2. Flash hider. It has a three prong, and I am deciding between welding a washer over the end and having a .25 hole, effectively creating a muzzlebreak. I also don't want to screw with the communist state and I'd rather buy a branson brake and know I'm legal. Also, any reccomendations on wrenches? Cheaper=better. So far I'm looking at $25 shipped on ebay.

Is the M&P anything like the 5906? My dad has a 3906 and I hate the thing...

maintainceguy has it right. This is NJ. If SHTF, you're going to either go to some shelter like a lot of people were forced into during Sandy, or you're going to stay into your house. Having a good food supply is necessary. Push comes to shove, I can always start a fire in my driveway and use that to cook most things. For me, if my house becomes uninhabitable, I am going to go elseware. Shelter, family, etc. Otherwise I'm staying home. When it comes to "bugging out" to the wilderness or whatever, what will force you to do that? Unless it's Red Dawn or society breaks down into complete anarchy it's pretty useless. Even then, EVERYONE will be heading to the hills and destroying the place. I reccomend you read "World War Z".
