High Exposure

You will also need to have a non-flash hiding muzzle device (either a brake or a comp) installed and permanently attached before taking the rifle from the FFL - if you plan on keeping it in NJ. You can put a few different free float systems on there, but if you are doing nothing but adding a white light, sling, and vertical grip, and don't plan on using the rifle for any conletition shooting where you may e using a barricade as a rest, you would be well served with just a Magpul drop in handguard. If you want an easy to install free float, the DD Omega 7 is a two piece drop in free float that is awesome. It's a little pricey, but it works perfectly and you can install it yourself in 10 minutes. If you grind the FSB down, you can use any tube that uses the standard AR Barrel Nut, like the Troy Alpha, Bravo, and MLOK tubes without removing the brake, which is nice if you already had your permanently attached. If you buy the tube and a low profile gas block, and give it to the place doing the compliance work, they can install anything you want pretty easily before they attach the muzzle device. The CTR stock will have everything you need, but save some $$ and get the MOE version. You have to have the stock pinned anyway so you don't need the friction lock, why pay for it?

Looks like it comes pinned and welded.

bastard.... :rofl:

http://www.primaryarms.com/troy-industries-16-stainless-melonited-5-56-upper-w-13-m-lok-rail-flip-sights-supg-5mf-16bt-00ss This is the best value I have seen on an upper. I wouldn't say the quality is equal to BCM or other Tier 1 manufacturers out there (Noveske, LMT, Knights, etc...) but for the money, this is a hell of a lot of features and decent quality. If you built this rifle from parts, it would cost well over $1000. All you need to do is get a NJ legal muzzle device. I suggest this upper to anyone looking for a decent upper at an excellent price.

This is a pretty cool high speed video. Note the gas escaping the vent holes on the side of the bolt carrier, and coming back into the chamber from the barrel extension.

Just buy a new upper Lambo.

"Carjacker shot in Philly" http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/01/11/bystander-shoots-suspected-carjacker-in-philadelphia.html

You guys realize that MM is the local and regional sales representative for Holosun optics right? Part of that position makes him responsible to enforce the MAP requiremnts set forth by Holosun. I am pretty sure he is dialed in on what does and does not violate their MAP agreements. Also, if you are in the market for a good price in a Holosun optic, maybe just ask MM about the optics and pricing he has available instead of busting his balls? Just sayin.... Furthermore, you guys also realize that as a company, Botach's ethics are up there with Pol Pot? They aggressively steel other guys designs and then offer them for sale under the "KZ" line of gear. When the guy that designed the original gear calls them on it, they say "Go ahead, sue us. We have more $$ and more lawyers than you." Fuck Botach at any price.

Sure. Just fill this out:https://www.policeapp.com/Police-Jobs/

I got them for my parents and wife. More as a momento than anything. He'll, my mom can't even drive.

We get ours through the PBA. We aren't allowed to make our own.

^^ I disagree. They followed due process. ^^ This. I don't know specifically what happened in this case, or AK law specific to the shooters past interaction with LE, but a 48-72 hr eval does not disqualify someone under Federal law 922(g)(4). This falls under "words mean things." - specifically the word adjudicated. Being detained for mental health evaluation, even involuntarily, doesn't equate to being adjudicated mentally ill. Think of it as the difference between being arrested for an inevitable crime and being convicted of an indictable crime. An arrest does not prohibit you from owning a gun. A conviction does. Under 18 USC 922 (g)(4): a person who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been admitted to a mental institution is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition. Adjudicated means it is done in court. Someone who checks themselves in for a mental eval, or is taken there under a non-custodial move by local LE (Feds don't have the authority), does not qualify as a prohibited person under Federal law. The mental adjudication takes time both for voluntary and involuntary commitments. If I commit myself voluntarily, and then change my mind and decide I'm good, unless the doctor can show I am a danger to myself or others I can check myself out. If my gun was turned in to the police for safe keeping, then without due process, they have to give it back to me (state law depending) when I request it. There are those who would have wanted the FBI or APD to have violated the suspect's rights and taken his gun. The agencies appeared to have followed the law, as far as I can tell from my limited knowledge of the circumstances. If people decide a mental health evaluation or 24/72hr hold should suffice to have someone's ability to own firearms suspended or revoked, then the law has to be amended to reflect that. None of us would want the FBI to take our guns without due process. I'm not supporting the suspect, nor cheerleading for the FBI/APD. I am defending due process.

3 months? Where?

A Roland Special. Nice! Toying with the idea of throwing one together myself. I met "Roland" last summer. To say he is an intense dude is an understatement.

Yeah.... I don't consider than an AR15 type any longer.

Point of order: You are absolutely permitted to have a flash hider on a semi-auto rifle in NJ. You just can't have one on an AR15 type rifle. On a Mini-14, Ares SCR, M1 Garand, M14 type, flash hiders are perfectly legal. Magazines are limited to 15 rounds for all semi-auto pistols and rifles. But as T Bill stated, be prepared for that to change at some point.

I had a very good friend tell me once "Every time you handle a gun and it doesn't kill you, your respect for what that gun can do is eroded. The struggle is an internal one to stay vigilant of a tool that has always been safe in the past but has the potential to kill you or someone else in the future. The mind is the enemy during the present." Same guy also told me "Every time you hand someone a gun, their IQ drops 50 points." which in my experience is a universal truth. Damn I miss Pat....

Every single time you pick up a gun you, you take the risk of an accident occurring. We practice the 4 rules to mitigate, not eliminate, the risks. It makes sense that more often you touch a gun, the more often you take that risk. The more times you take the risk, the more opportunities you have to miss something or make an error. Someone who plays Russian roulette once, has to beat the one in six odds a single time. Someone who plays Russian roulette 10 times, has to beat the same one in six odds 10 times. If I was forced to play, I'd rather play once then 10 times.

If you believe you will never have an ND, because you are always careful, because you always check, you will one day get "The Loud Noise". That doesn't mean you shouldn't always follow the safety rules. It does mean the safety rules shouldn't be routine. They should not be completed on autopilot, or conducted at the unconcious competence level of awareness. The safety checks should be done with 100% attention to detail at the concious competence level of awareness. However, if you accept that no one is immune to a lapse in judgement, and realize that one day your day will come, you tend remain more vigilant and aware of what you are doing. This vigilance makes it more likely you will catch yourself before you have a very bad day. On a side note: One thing I have learned is this - your mind tends to support your desires. Example: If you are looking for an empty chamber you are more likely to see an empty chamber - even when it isn't! Because your brain wants you to be correct. So to combat this, change your mindset. When clearing a weapon, look for the loaded gun. Expect to see a round every time you check a chamber and you increase your chances of catching that ND before it happens.

Forget it, he's rollin'.

Just downloaded this. Planning on starting it tonight. Correia's other series are pretty good too - "Grimnoir Chrinicles" is cool and most especially "Dead 6/Sword of Exodus" for us gun people. Even his new-ish fantasy series "Son of the Black Sword" is well written and interesting.

If you like into thin air, you have to read "This Game of Ghosts" - Joe Simpson. Outstanding!
