buying magpul stock at pa gun show
I will be buying the buffer tube at the same time as the stock so I will make sure they match. I dont want to buy a fixed stock because I am eternaly optimistic and hope to move out of nj some time in the near future.

buying magpul stock at pa gun show
The lower is still stripped, so no pistol grip yet. I think I might just play it safe (to be legal) and pin the stock in PA. As far as mentioning it on the boards, the reason I did it is to find out what is legal to avoid doing anything illegal.

buying magpul stock at pa gun show
I know this topic has been discussed at nauseum but I have a specific situation I need advice on. Bought an stag lower from legend firearms yesterday, thanks Ira, and will be building it out for a .50 beuwolf upper, which I don't yet have. Want to buy a magpul stock at PA gunshow on saturday. Question is, can I pin the stock at home since I only have the lower, mind you I do have another fully operational AR at home, or should I bring a drill and pin with me and pin it at the gun show in the car?

problem with marlin 336 30-30
Well new lever came in and I sent it back. For some reason the plunger hole was a few mm too low and the plunger wouldn't lock. I did notice on my original lever were it was rubbing against the inside of the frame. Any ideas on how that could be rectified? I know, you will tell me to send it in but I am leaving that as the last resort.

want to start competition shooting
Wanted to go to either the OB or somerset IDPA match this month but my schedule wont allow that. Will most likely go to the OB match on 9/8. Will post my first timer experience then.

problem with marlin 336 30-30
Im not sending it back to them again. Last time I sent it to get the barrel indexed I had to remove all addons including the front xs sight which is glued on with black max, that was a major pita. I just ordered a new lever from midway, we will see if that fixes it. If that doesnt fix it then I will send it to remington.

problem with marlin 336 30-30
Its a remlin, the lever has some side to side motion when closed as well. If I pay attention when im cycling and make sure that I dont put any sideways pressure on the lever, it cycles fine. Atleast thats what I noticed today.

problem with marlin 336 30-30
I think I found the problem. I decided to put a spent case I the chamber and was able the recreate the problem. It appears that the fact that the case is tight in the chamber and the lever has side to side play causes it to lock up if there is slight sideways pressure on the lever. Empty, the gun cycle smooth, new bullet the gun cycles smooth, fired case and it locks up. I checked the case and there are no visible signs of damage indicating chamber issues. It looks like the side to side slack in the lever is the problem. How can this be fixed without buying a new lever?

The hard part is unlocking the lever, once unlocked it moves easy

Firing pin is working, nothing is loose.

problem with marlin 336 30-30
Ok folks, here is my dilemma. When I first got my 336 the action was pretty rough. After watching a few youtube videos I tried smoothing out the action by polishing the lever, locking block, feed ramp, bolt and extractor groove, I also replaced the stock 2 piece extractor with a one piece extractor. The action got a lot smoother. After about 100 rounds the lever became hard to lower initially after about 10 rounds, as if something inside was binding. I noticed a few loose screws (in the gun not in my head), after titening the screws with some blue loktite everything was back to normal. I took it to the range this past sunday and after 3 rounds it started to bind up again and no loose screws this time. It feels as if the recoil is causing the bolt to bind up against the locking block. I also noticed that the lever has excesive side to side play. I am still able to cycle the gun but disengaging the lever after firing is extremely difficult. Any suggestions?

want to start competition shooting
I will check out somerset and old bridge. I not ready to get into USPSA yet, since from what I understand, I will be competing against people with customized guns and I dont have the funds for that kind of investment.

My choice of calibers is either .45 or .40. The .40 is cheaper without a doubt but I have a lot more experience and shoot better with the USP45.

want to start competition shooting
Ok folks, I have been thinking of trying my hand at competition shooting for quite some time now and I am finally ready to pull the trigger (pun indended). I have been considering IDPA, but I know absolutely nothing about it. I have read some posts and watched some youtube videos on the subject but am still thoroughly confused. As far as guns go, my only 2 options are HK USP45 and Beretta 96A1 (both are stock, except for tritium sights). All other hardware (ie: belt holster, mag carrier, concealment garment, etc...) should not be a problem. My biggest problems are, How do I get started? Are there upcoming matches (for beginners) in central NJ? Which of my 2 gun choices should I use?

House Reps. Aide Caught With Firearm At Federal Building
This is what happens when you read the boards and send emails to ebay sellers at the same time. Sorry guys, this was an email meant for an ebay seller.

Favorite & Least Favorite Handgun
Favorite: HK USP45 - very accurate, fun to shoot, looks good, 45 stopping power and the sentimental value of being my first firearm. Least Favorite: Beretta 96A1 - it's a great gun but I just can't get used to the safety/decocker.

I received the item but it has parking sensor holes. Nowhere in the description or the pictures are there parking sensor holes. I need it replaced with a grill without parking sensor holes.

New Android app allows users to "mark" unsafe gun owners
I just tried to tag UCSD where the developer is employed but the app only allows you to tag the area in your current GPS location. It has no option to put in a specific address.

I just went to google play and tagged it as unappropriate and left my comments, I suggest we all do the same. Maybe the people at google have more of a brain then this shmuck.
