Like I said in my original post, I don't have a problem with reloading, it's picking up brass that annoys me. For some reason it just makes my time at the range so much less enjoyable, so much so that sometimes I don't want to go because I dreading picking up brass.

My primary purpose is not to have to pin it, flash suppressor, muzzle brake, makes no difference. Cheaper and easier to swap out a grip then a pinned muzzle device when i finally get out of this state.

That's because in CA your not allowed any evil features. At least here in PRNJ we are allowed 1, for now

Ugly, without a doubt. I am thinking of getting a flash hider for my .308 build. Or even an unpinned MB. Hopefully when I move to PA in 3 years, just 5 min to swap it out, and only $10 lost.

Yes it would offc hand, but for a precision rifle...

Ok, let me start by saying that I don't want this to turn into an "I will not comply" argument. If for example I wanted to put a flash hider or any non-pinned muzzle device on my AR, and wanted to stay NJ compliant, would this be considered a pistol grip? https://www.strikeindustries.com/shop/index.php/products/rifle-accessories/strike-industires-simple-featureless-grip.html

If your looking for a used magnifier i am selling mine, with mount. Low mileage

Anyone have any experience with the JP 2-piece gas block? https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPGS-9D I know it's 3 times the cost of the YHM but if quality is better it might be worth it. Anyone with experience with either or both?

I do want this to be a precision gun but not necessarily a long range competition gun. I have a 20" barrel on my SPR and it is a bit front heavy and uncomfortable shooting off hand. The .308 barrel will be heavier already, so I want this gun to be comfortable to shoot of hand as well as off a bipod that's why I opted for an 18" barrel. But I will look into the weight difference, maybe it's negligible.

Not sure how many of you remember my SPR build from last year, but this past weekend I took it out to the range for the first time this year with my new reloads and was getting literally 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds. So now it's time for a new build, this time in .308. I plan to get it completed by next March and am basically buying parts as I find them on sale. Planning on an Aero M5E1 builder set with BA barrel and BCG, just to make sure the Barrel and BCG match. I already ordered my first parts, Aero LPK and Luth-AR Stock on sale at primary arms, so the build begins. I remember the issues I originally encountered with my SPR build, with the timing, which was originally fixed by replacing the carbine buffer assembly with a rifle assembly, since the barrel is a rifle length gas system. So for this build I am definitely going for a rifle buffer assembly and a rifle length barrel, in 18 inch to be specific, still need to decide if I want SS or QPQ barrel. Also, I am seriously considering a YHM Specter 2 piece gas block to avoid issues once the brake is pinned, which will be a VG6 Gamma. Let me know what you guys think, suggestions are always welcome and appreciated.

I tried that also, and it worked, but it took me longer having to look at each piece of brass I picked up. I just got tired of picking up all the brass.

Stag arms sells NJ compliant uppers and full rifles on their site. You can choose any upper or complete rifle you want and they have an option for compliance for most states at no extra charge.

I might hold on to the press for now, at least to reload .44 and .357, don't have to pick up brass for my wheel guns

I have no problem spending time to reload, even though I didn't expected to spend so much time, i'm ok with it. My prob is picking up brass, and maybe it's my OCD but I only want my own brass not no one else's because I know how many times my brass has been shot. And shooting at any public range your brass goes all over the place and if I wait till the end to pick it up I won't know which is mine and which isn't. Maybe I will look into buying brass, but all I know is that the chore of picking up brass is killing my enjoyment of shooting.

Not yet, but eventually

Just my rant of the day, I started reloading about 3 years ago hoping to save money on ammo, little did I know how much actual time it took to reload a badge of a few hundred. Well, that was not the worst of it, lately I have been dreading going to the range for the simple reason that I didn't want to pick up brass. Picking up brass, at least for me was the worst part of reloading and wasted half my time at the range. I used to love going to the range to shoot but lately I started hating it simply due to the fact that I knew I would be picking up brass. Yes I have tried all the commercially and even some home made brass catchers but it was still a pain. Well yesterday I went to the range and decided I would not be picking up brass. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun at the range not having to pick of brass. I have finally decided to give up reloading, at least for now, especially with the price of ammo as it currently is. I will finish up all the components I still have, but once that is all done, i'm done. I never want to pick up brass again. Rant off!

Just heard about this and then found it on the NRA-ILA site. Rep Chris Collins, of NY of all places, introduced the SAGA bill H.R. 3576, basically making state level AWBs illegal. From the NRA site "The SAGA would ensure that state regulations could not effectively prevent the manufacture, sale, importation, or possession of any rifle or shotgun lawfully available under federal law or impose any prohibitive taxes, fees, or design limitations on such firearms." start calling and emailing your reps and lets get this pushed thru. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170804/second-amendment-guarantee-act-would-protect-popular-rifles-shotguns-from-antigun-politicians

How is it there are only 17,472 signatures?

Done

I've had my USP 45 since 2003, almost 10k rounds through it and still going strong, it's my favorite gun. The only gripe I have with it is the proprietary rail which only accepts a UTL, but you can get adapters for it. Can't speak for the walther, I actually almost got the PPQ 45 about 4 months ago but opted for the XMD .45 5.25" instead. The other difference you need to keep in mind is that the PPQ is a striker fired pistol, the USP 45 is hammer fired, so you need to take into consideration also as it's personal preference. But no matter what you decide you can't go wrong with either.

That's because neither UPS nor Fedex deliver to P.O. boxes. The system auto corrected to the most logical physical address

I totally forgot my favorite car of all time, bought it for $800 back in 1996. It was a 1977 full size chevy blazer, 2 door, plastic removable roof, 4 inch factory lift with 36" tires (Cheyenne package), and spray painted flat black. 350 chevy short block that got 4 mpg on a good day. That thing was a beast, every time I drove in Manhattan not a single taxi or city bus ever cut me off. But unfortunately I had to get rid of it because it was not a commuter in any sense of the term.

I had a 2001 Durango, got rid of it with 214k miles in 2011, only because I didn't need 3 cars, worst mistake of my life, I regret getting rid of it every day. Worst car I ever had was a 2008 Passat, what I piece of crap, interior was falling apart after 2 years, and the timing belt skipped at 70k going 80mph on the turnpike, bye-bye engine. Now I drive a 2015 Camaro, great car, I love it, but the rear seats are basically useless. My next car will be a Durango again, without a doubt.

I have 2 eotechs and I have not had any issues with either. I saw no need to return them.

Last week I thought to myself, I have too many black rifles. So I decided to take a few cans of rust-oleum and see what kind of damage I can do to may stag. Well, here is the end result:
