@Scorpio64 - something like this? http://www.homedepot.com/tool-truck-rental/mobile/Overseeder/TS-20HD/

Eerily similar to my answer to you earlier in a text message that started this whole thing. Marlboro Glassboro Plainsboro Willingboro Boro is an acceptable shortening of Borough (which is defined as a fortified town).

Doesn't matter. If you can tell the difference between HK and M4 type front BUIS, you aren't doing doing it right....

True. But gun people always want the latest and greatest. So hopefully there will be a lot of folks selling used Gen 3 and 4 guns at good prices to fund the purchase of a Gen 5.

Yeah, they are grown up LEGOs. Part of the reason the LaRue rifles are so desirable is the accuracy of their barrels. Swapping it would nullify the whole reason for the purchase of this particular rifle.

You are being stupid.

I just spent all day on the range with some of the best carbine instructors and shooters on the planet. I did a 4 hour block on intermediate distance Carbine (300 yards). No one had a RDS and magnifier combo. A handful of us shot with plain RDS (I ran a 2MOA T1). Everyone else had low power magnified optics. At 300 yards I was faster with my RDS than a lot of guys with magnification. Those are all clues.

I got a call from LaRue today. My upper is shipping out Monday. As for the tool marks - its a billet upper, not forged. You'll get tool marks as it was cut from a solid block of aluminum, not forged.

On the road to the Friends of Pat gathering in Alliance, Ohio. Good times, good people, good food, and guns! Lots and lots of guns! Miss you Pat! For the next 3 days, Alliance Ohio will be the safest town in the US.

I think there is a language issue going on.... It should be a self diagnostic thing. Ask yourself "Just because I can doesn't mean I should". When explaining this concept to others it's commonly said - "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" It is not an imposed mindset, it is introspection.

Whoa there. The ability to make a mature and pragmatic decision on whether or not to carry a firearm to a particular event/destination/etc... i.e.: a Just because you can doesn't mean you should type decision - is a FAR cry from "justifiable need" laws. One is a personal choice made by you after identifying aggravating and mitigating factors and coming to a logical decision. You make these decision every day all day - example: You are having a party at your house and all your friends are coming over. You are going to be drinking a lot. Do you wear a gun on your hip - either OC or CCW? Why or why not? You can, but should you? The other is a decision made for you by others.

Lol.

This. Your mission drives your gear. If your job/hobby required you to routinely switch from medium range (150-300yards) to MOUT range (25-150 yards) to CQB range (room distances) on the fly - the RDS w/magnifier was the answer for a lot of years. Until recently (5 years or so) Your only other option was a variable power scope without a true 1x at its lowest setting that was less than ideal at FISHing distances and was extremely expensive. Now, with so many excellent choices in the low power variable mag area - most with a true 1x - with quality options running a broad range of pricing, the FTS magnifier is really obsolete. You can buy an excellent quality 1-6 variable power optic and mount that will suit you much better for about the same price as an Aimpoint RDS and Aimpoint Magnifier with appropriate mounts. It is a no brainer.

Are we seriously debating this? We teach our kids this before kindergarten: "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." On a different note - if you are going to any kind of rally/protest/march/etc... and you see KKK or swastikas, that's a clue to about face and go home. All your presence does is add credence to those awful people. Standing shoulder to shoulder with a brown shirt or a white sheet will never ever help our cause.

This was too funny to not post here: Savage!

*Cross posted in the Glock 17M/Gen5 release thread

PB, I remember when Phil was building the Brick Armory facility in Lakewood. He wanted to shoot .50BMG in his range. He always said it was rated as such. Call down to GSSC and see if they will allow it: Garden State Shooting Center 1955 Swarthmore Ave. Lakewood, NJ 08701 732-987-6990

The original 9mm Glocks were one pin designs. They went to two pins when they started developing the .40 models in the same frames as the 9mm. The one pin allegedly gives a better trigger - I don't know how exactly. Looking at the gun I wouldn't think the second pin matters to trigger press at all... Unless by moving the one pin higher you can change the angle of the pivot of the trigger... I don't know.... Anyway, the G42 and G43 are one pin designs and a lot of Glock shooters say they prefer the trigger on those models. I personally think the better trigger feel has more to do with the redesigned safety plunger/trigger bar interface - safety is more of a ramp shape and less of a dome, but I don't have that much time on Gen 1 9mm Glocks or G42/43s. The new safety plunger is also in the M models. I agree with the finger bumps - kinda. They fit my hand well on the full size small frame models - G17 and G22. On the compact small frames - G19 and G23, they don't fit my hand as well. I prefer to leave the bottom one and remove the top one: With the magwell, this pistol feels like a handshake when I hold it.

New Features of the Glock M series include: A new finish Chamfered slide at the muzzle Changes in the rifling of the barrel Longer recoil spring assembly Reinforced forward notch for the recoil spring assembly Changes in the safety plunger geometry A smoother trigger similar to the G42/43 Only one pin in the locking block Flared integral magwell No finger grooves Straighter grip angle Ambidextrous slide release Magazines have an extended front lip Won't fire when dropped!

The Glock 1911 was a photoshop job. It's not real.

Yes

Hornady makes an AR locker that would work - it checks all your boxes. https://www.hornady.com/security/rapid-safes/ar-gunlocker Every now and then you can find one of the Barska standup safes cheap as well. ETA: Thinking about it again, your best bet may be a Pelican or Storm case with 4 keyed alike padlocks and a locking door handle on the closet door. The case will serve you double duty as a safe in the apartment and a way to transport.

This would be a great question.

The courts determine justifiable need. Not the NJSP FAU. You don't get denied by a Trooper. You get denied by a judge. Some of these are wuestions better asked of the AG or a representative from the DCJ.

Here's the issue with questions like these - you have to understand how the system works. There is no way for a representative of the NJSP to answer that accurately. If you are arrested for a "deviation" or for a "handgun transportation" crime you will be charged by an officer following the guidance of an Assistant Prosecutor of the County Prosecutor's Office of the county you are arrested in. With each County Prosecutor in our state having a different interpretation of the law and a different stance on the 2A. If there is a disagreement regarding charges at the State Court level, then NJDCJ and the AGs office will step in an offer guidance - Not the NJSP FAU. If a Cop or a Trooper has a question regarding the interpretation of anything in NJSA 2C, they call the zone prosecutor (the Assistant Pros assigned to your jurisdiction by that county's prosecutor's office) for the county they are in. They will give guidance on all applicable charges. We don't call the NJSP because what they think falls under "reasonable" doesn't matter. Only what the Prosecutor thinks counts for charging. What the judge thinks is what matters after that.
