1) I agree, but I purchased the upper for an excellent deal, off of Gunbroker. Called del-ton and their 1:7 twist CAR-length uppers are out of stock. No ETA 2) 6'1" tall. If the SHTF, I plan to wear Molle plate carrier, w/armor. At the range, i won't be wearing the molle vest. .

I know, i know... there's about a million of these. Hope there's room for one more. My AR build goals: Low Cost - Less than $1000 Lightweight - 7lbs Reliable, Rugged - my go-to shtf rifle Flexible - CQB, and 400 yard Some requirements: 1:7 twist Chrome lined barrel Flat top receiver Fixed stock (NJ) Quad rail hand guards What I have so far: Del-Ton 16" 1:7 chrome lined, flat top upper receiver Del-ton Bolt Carrier Group Midwest Industries Gen2 Drop-in 2-pc railed hand guard (new, $90) UTG PRO Model 4/15 Carbine Length Symmetrical Split Slim-Rail Quad + Rail covers Troy Medieval Muzzle Brake Rainier Arms Mini Compensator 5x PMag 30's, pinned to 15 Cost so far: $570 Minus $50 gift card Total = $520 Yet to decide on: Lower receiver (del-ton complete lower, with ACE ARFX stock, and Magpul MOE grip = $280) Optic - 2-3 MOA Red Dot (Primary Arms Micro, or Bushnell TRS-25) Stock - ACE ARFX Entry, or Full Skeleton are in 1st place BUIS - Magpul BUIS Extras: Pic as-of 3/28/12: Any suggestions? Thanks! EDIT: Bad math, Added "Extras," and made some corrections EDIT2: 500 > 400 yards. Added gift card. EDIT3: Compensator. Shortened port. EDIT4: Primary Arms M3 for Optic, Removed UTG Hand Guard (returned), Removed Grip-Pod

Love .308 battle rifles. Show'em off please!

Verified that Del-Ton has great pricing on the ACE stocks, all parts included. So, now my question is this: ACE Entry ACE Skeleton ACE Ultra Lite or ACE Ultra Lite ENTRY? I'm leaning towards the Skeleton Entry (stubby) stock. One of my other concerns is rifle balance. The upper is going to be a 16" HBAR. I was afraid that going too lite would throw-off the balance (IE: ACE Ultra Lite)

Thanks all. Nothing like real-world experience, as oppose to some spreadsheet. The ACE Skeleton was my 1st choice before I saw this spreadsheet. Amazon has the ACE skeleton listed for about $90, but no Tube, Buffer, Spring. LEmme go check Del-Ton. Only thing is, I already purchased my Del-Ton upper from GB.

I think I've decided on the Sully Stock for my lightweight, budget AR build. I thought the ACE skeleton (A1 length) was lighter. Not according to the below calguns table: A1..........1.5625..........25 A2..........1.53125..........24.5 Cav Arms C1 (A1 length with plastic trapdoor buttplate)..........1.25..........20 Sully..........1.109375..........17.75 Entry..........0.9125..........14.6 Ace Skeleton (Stubby length w/ rubber buttplate)..........0.8..........12.8 Ace Skeleton (A1 length w/ rubber buttplate)..........1.31875..........21.1 Ace M4 SOCOM..........1.3125..........21.0 Ace Ultralight..........0.81875..........13.1 CAR Telestock (Fiberlight, Mil-Spec)..........0.9125..........14.6 M4 Telestock (RRA, 6-Pos Commercial)..........0.89375..........14.3 M4 Telestock (Stag, 6 pos, Mil-Spec)..........1.0625..........17.0 BM Buttstock, fixed 'Telescoping Style'..........1.4375..........23 MagPul M93A..........1.35625..........21.7 MagPul PRS (Precision Rifle Stock)..........1.70625..........27.3 LMT Crane Telestock..........1.28125..........20.5 VLTOR Carbine Mod Stock (Telestock)..........1.05..........16.8 VLTOR Carbine Clubfoot Telestock..........1.05625..........16.9 Considering 90% of these stocks are NJ EVIL, I was down to the ACE, Sully, or a pinned Magpul CTR (if I could find it). Given that the Sully is lightweight, and the only stock to include a buffer tube, buffer, spring, etc., the sully has become #1 on my list. Does anyone know where I can pick one up in NJ? Thanks.

Don't be sad! Cherry Ridge is an hour from me.

Wow, reading through CJRPC membership dues. Looks like it's $650+ first-time dues. Scratch that one from the list...

LOL.

I'm in Northern NJ, near Newark. My criteria would be: Outdoor Range Private, membership only Long range Rifle (300+ yards) Nice, serene woodsy setting. I like how Blue Ridge has those wood burning heaters. Nice touch. Just wish they were closer, and had a longer rifle range.

You got there before me. Modern DVR systems only hold a few days to a week or two of footage. Any more storage is prohibitively expensive. We're talking hundreds to thousands more. However I must say that the way our legal system works, combined with our predatory and ignorant media, the OP has a point... just barely. Personally, I'd rather be able to prove that some teenager-guest-idiot is breaking all the rules ,and get them kicked-out before someone gets hurt or worse (with video).

Lots of acronyms here I'm pretty new to the firearms scene. At least in terms of making it my hobby. Been shooting for most of my life, but mostly in a casual or service function. Now that I'm getting into the hobby of shooting and collecting, I'd like to find a nice outdoor range/club that will let me enjoy the hobby. So those who have experience with either one of these clubs, please chime in with your opinion and perhaps a description of the facilities, and what you like most/least about either one. 1) Blue Ridge Cherry Valley Rod & Gun Club Distance from me: 1 hour 15 min http://www.brcv-gun.org/ Been there once. Found it to be small, and limited rifle range to 100 yards. Pros - least expensive dues Cons - Distance, short rifle range 2) Cherry Ridge Range Distance from me: 1 hour http://www.anjrpc.org/ Never been there. Pros - Closer to me, seems to have more ranges, and longer distance rifle. Cons - Cost is more.

Thanks all. To recap.. I'd have to Pin OR Weld? Not both? Would you say that the Pin, without weld, is sufficient.. and is also the least damaging to the barrel? Although the brake pin/weld is meant to be permanent... which method provides the least permanent damage to the barrel? Of the two methods, which one can be reversed, if and when I were to move to a free state? (not just easy to reverse, but cleanest too) I know.. kinda redundant questions.

If I was to order a NJ illegal Upper (not really illegal until mounted to lower receiver), would a DIY Bayonet Lug and Muzzle brake job be enough to "convert" it to NJ legal? Bayonet Lug - Grind/Cut off the Ears of the lug, so it would no longer function. Muzzle Brake - Silver Electrical Solder, Copper Plumbing Solder, JB Weld.... will any of these methods suffice? Or, do I need to perform a "true Weld" AND Pin the brake to the barrel? Please forgive my terminology. Consider it layman's.

More updates, more updates!

What if the friend is no longer around? What does KYMS stand for?

So here is the scenario, and I'd like to know if and how someone can make ownership of the BB gun legit: .177 Gamo Rifle Pellet gun, with scope. Gift from friend years ago. Years later, individual comes to find-out that BB/Pellet guns are treated like a firearm in NJ. How can individual make this BB gun Legal? EDIT: Individual has their FID.

In fairness, the Detective has been very informative and patient with me. The problem isn't individual departments/officers, it's the NJ political bureaucracy. I understand that.

Resurrecting this thread from the beyond... The Detective in charge of FID and Pistol Permits seems to be available after 3pm, M-F. He may be off on Wed, not sure. Tell you one thing... 3 more weeks until I hit the 5 month mark, waiting on an FID address change, and Pistol Permit.
