Rifles more than pistols, Rem 700 5R .308 tac rifle, Mausers k98 8mm & Chilean 1912 7.62x51, Rem 721 .270, Garand .308, Savage Mark II FVSR .22LR

I used an off site parking for a three week trip aboad with www.NewarkLongTermParking.com. Shuttle to airport was fast and efficient, lot was well lit and my vehicle was secure and no issues at all when I returned. The often have promotion codes to save $s.

I keep a H&K P7 PSP loaded with one in the pipe for my HD weapon. My young kids do not have access to it, but the P7 is extremely safe with a round chambered, and the squeeze safety requires 13lbs of pressure to bring the gun to a ready to fire state, which is not something that my kids could possibly accomplish.

Don't sweat on your firearms !

Very sad day indeed, RIP Robin. It just shows that fortune and fame don't buy you happiness and depression can hit anyone.

Cleaning your PSP: You will need to clean the piston and cylinder every 500 rounds or sooner if it feels like the slide is starting to bind. You need to use the HK factory tool to scrape the carbon from the bottom of the piston cylinder. Carbon should be removed from around the ring edges on the piston itself, but you don't have to be anal about removing all of the carbon from between the rings. You can use a carbon solvent with a .270 cylinder swab and a .270 nylon brush to keep the inside of the piston cylinder clean, and just a regular nylon brush and solvent to clean the piston itself. Don't use anything steel or you might gouge the metal and reduce performance. I don't even prescribe to using brass brushes.. Otherwise, cleaning the rest of your P7 is just like you would do to any other semi auto pistol.

The PSP is machined from a billet of German steel. The pistol frame does get hot when you shoot 50 rounds through the pipe in a couple of minutes. The P7M8 heat shield doesn't really do a whole lot to prevent the frame from absorbing the heat and burning your hand if you touch it. I prefer the PSP heel mag release better than the "regular" one anyway.

The againsts don't even bother with this poll because they know that the legislature is on their side and this poll is spoken on deaf ears... All the comments that I read were well expressed and to the point, but still not enough to make a difference.

If you have two, you can alternate between them at the range so overheating won't be a problem. They were designed to be a defensive firearm for German LE. Overheating at the range was never a design concern. And, based on the wear that most of the German police surplus PSPs exibit, the German police didn't spend much time at the ranges during the 20 or so years that they used them.

I just had a 2nd windshield broken by a truck leaving the Mt. Hope Tilcon quarry. Last time the State Police wanted me to sit and wait for them on the side of Rt 80 (with my two kids in the back) to file a report, or go to the barracks later. The truck sped away faster then I cared to drive with my kids in the back. If you get the tag number and file a report, there is a chance that the trucking company might pay, good luck with that. It is really annoyng and not at all right that the truckers get away with dumping rocks on the highways and then get away without paying.

My A grade PSP is pretty nice, but has the ugly import marks and a bit of holster wear. My C grade has a very durable finish now, and is my preferred HD weapon because it is extremely safe even when it has a round chambered.

Very nice, no import markings.

Many P7 PSPs don't have date codes, but there is a user on HKPro and ParkCities Tactical named texasvwnut who compiled a list of approximate manufacture dates based on serial numbers.

It is designed for 124gr NATO rounds and 115gr will work fine, but 147gr ammo can cause stove pipes because the last couple of rounds in the mag move forward due to the extra mass movement of the slide when shooting 147s. I own two PSPs. one is a C grade that I had hard chromed, and the 2nd is an A grade in about 98% condition. I got both during the "flood" 4 years ago when the German surplus PSPs were everywhere for $500 to $700. Now they have been mostly bought up and their prices are moving up toward $1000. On both of mine I removed the white sight inserts on the original sights and replaced them with Trijicon tritium vials, and I really like them. This is a very good thread where HKPro user G3Kurz, a H&K engineer, explains the mindset behind the design development of the P7 PSP pistol. http://hkpro.com/forum/hk-handgun-talk/132962-explanation-hk-P7-operation.html

I think Denville is very 2A friendly

You can buy inch lb drivers that are designated for only one lb rating which are cheaper than adjustables.

I employed the help of 4 big guys from work to get my safe where I wanted it. Where I was able to get under the stairs, I wedged a 2x4 in the middle of each tread to relieve some of the weight bearing there.

The guys at GDS do great work and are very reasonably priced. Be aware that they make no claims of being gunsmiths and won't coat certain assemblies that require the firearm to be taken apart. I am very happy with my Rem 700 that they coated, but I had to take the bolt apart myself after I picked up my rifle and found the bell on the back of the bolt assembly was not coated. GDS was very responsive and coated the part immediately and shipped it back to me within a couple of days.

Propane or natural gas are actually a better fuels since you don't have to worry about the carb getting fouled up with old fuel if it is not used for a while.

I also installed my own Interlock lockout panel on my circuit board. It is fairly trivial but you do need to be comfortable working inside your breaker panel while it is hot unless you are going to shut your service down and use your generator to provide lighting and power for tools when you are installing the lockout panel and the back-up power breaker, and also while you move around some breakers to accomodate the back-up power circuit breaker into the upper right position. Be sure to consult with a knowledable source to get the correct gauge wire to run to your outside generator outlet, and get a decent quality outdoor outlet that matches your generator extension cord and is suitably waterproof. Also you may have to modify the generator wiring so that the only place that your commomn and neutral connect together is in the breaker panel.

Bob, Do you have to be a Somerset member and/or an IDPA member to participate? Thanks!

Glad to see pistol powders are finally surfacing again.... It has really been a while~!

Last time I transfered, Lincoln Park Hardware charged $45 for a pistol transfer including NICS.

I've done a few wreck dives with Captain Al on the Sea Lion out of Brielle, very professional outfit. It seems to me that Jersey off shore waters are murky enough; a shore dive has to be even worse. I'd advise to stay away from places where non-diving people gather. It is dangerous enough when you are doing it in a "safe" location with fellow divers.

I'll go with the Glocks are Ugly statement, but some might mistake my HK P7 PSP for a Glock (some ignoramus).
