My nephew was 11 or 12 I think when I took him to the range. He shot my ar, 1911, and m9 that day. He didn't fancy the 1911 that much, but he handled it fine. We don't give kids enough credit sometimes for how strong they can be. Of course that NOT an excuse not to be incredibly careful.

Ok rounding out my kit. Need a few malice clips to put on a mag pouch and looking at the med kit, which brings me to my next question. I have taken a basic cpr course a couple of years ago but I would be woefully unprepared to respond to a massive hemorrhage. Aside from, elevate, pressure and cover, I wouldnt know what to do with anything in that med kit. Where can one go for instruction on basic first aid for gunshot wounds?

Lol funny.

I can make the 10th or 11th

1911 or fnx Not a fan of glocks.

No magic age. Different guns have different felt recoil. IMO I would load a mag with 1 bullet and try it. This way if it is too much or he freaks you dont have an accident waiting to happen.

Just picked this little guy up at work. $19.99 isn't a bad price for a simple knife. Even comes with a kydex sheath and paracord.

Well that don't help me lol. I guess I'd have to make nice nice with a decent range.

Yeah i can assume he has no neutered guns/mags and would rather not be bothered with such. Think hed go for something just over the border in PA?

Yeah thats what I mean. I know how hard it is to commit to something like that where a group need to set aside the same block of time (let alone money). I dunno, I may still look into it and put out some feelers. You should call your boy Pat for a special event lol I can't imagine the cost haha

Lowe's has a reusable cold towel too. http://www.lowes.com/pd_458081-49433-103702_0__?productId=4751315&Ntt=cold+towel&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dcold%2Btowel&facetInfo= Just sayin

I've been thinking of trying to get a private NJGF class together but I have this funny feeling it would be nothing but a nightmare

Thats what I was afraid of. I was hoping to find something in PA or Delaware or something.

I dont know that its going to cause immediate damage to anything, but its a pain in the ass trying to load a full mag into a closed bolt, no need to slam it home if its in an open position. Push, hear click, pull to check, drop bolt. I also try to use the CH as little as possible, especially if you have a standard issue. They're not overly strong and you have a black club if it gets bent up.

Lol what a positive point of view! But honestly I'm sure youre right. I'm sure they've done the math and seen that more people joining with less "profit" out weighs less people with more "profit" Walmart 101

I would try downloading by 2. I agree with the others, the only time you should load on a closed bolt is where there is a round in the chamber and inserting a fresh mag. If your worried about some schmutz getting in the chamber at home just lock the bolt to the rear and close the dust cover. Thats why its there. Insert mag, hit bolt release, dust cover will open, and your ready to fire. Other than the bolt not being pulled far enough back, I would check the lugs to make sure they are still in good condition.

Looks like a bushy fixed acr stock

Anyone know of any reputable local instructors for carbine training aside from forum sponsors? I've already taken classes from a couple of the schools on here. I have no way at the moment to really practice some of the skills I've learned from previous classes so Id just like to take more classes. The places I've looked at seem to be few and far between. FYI local to me is maybe 3 hours drive from central jersey. Any suggestions?

I don't, but I would get the dueck set if I were big into competition. If you are just interested in a Back Up iron sight, I would just go the fold down route. ETA: Part of the reason I say that is if you have the RTS on a "battle" style rifle, I would always be concerned with getting it snagged on gear.

Why do you view the quad rail as an upgrade? Personally I like the magpuls better. What are you looking to hang on it?

No worries. Yeah thanks to whoever brought the tents. It wouldve been brutal without them..

You really liked it huh? Lol

I likes me my sonata.

Ok, I think I'm down for this one.
