High Exposure

Stop. Gun rentals didn't make the employee forget the basic tenets of safe gun handling and more than they make people suicidal. At some point, we need to stop the PC garbage and place the blame for the bad things that happen squarely where it belongs - the individual handling the firearm. I should be able to place 1000 guns, loaded or not, on a table in front of any range employee and they should be fully capable of safely checking their condition and store them appropriately without any loud noises or injuries.

Complacency breeds contempt. 3 out of 4 rules violated here. Rule 1 was ignored completely. If the employee had been following rule 2, it would still have gone bang, but it wouldn't have hurt him. If he followed rule 3, it wouldn't have gone bang. Every time you try to prove you are smarter than a loaded gun, you get an opportunity to be proven wrong. I like this at the end of the article: Like it was a drive by or something... I got some info about the shooting for ya... Somebody stored a loaded weapon. Someone else violated 3 of the 4 commonly accepted firearms safety rules and subsequently shot themselves. I hope the employee recovers and I hope there is some mandatory remedial training for the entire staff. This will likely be the safest range in NJ for the next few months.

Unfortunately, I've never taken a shot in Uranus. That was my only time there, and it was closed. If you go and take a shot in Uranus, tell me how it is.

It's really not worth it unless you are driving down 44 anyway. The shop/range is small, the rest is just a tourist trap with a shitty restaurant, a go-go joint, and a weird outdoor Dinosaur "museum" with a jungle gym for kids to play on.

I just got a Holosun about 2 months ago. Still putting it through its paces on a training gun, but so far it's holding up. Zeroing was weird - I had to bottom out the adjustments before the clicks worked, but after that it worked as it was supposed to. On a related note, Holosun makes the Romeo optics for Sig and Priamary Arms. The Sig Romeo series was just approved for duty use by the FBI: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/11/18/exclusive-fbi-approves-use-sig-romeo4m/

Why yes, yes it does. It was closed when I went yesterday though.

Lol! I'm staying at my Brother's in Waynesville, Missouri for a few days. I just left a fudge place called Uranus: https://uranusmissouri.com :rofl:

Yes, you can see Venus and Mars now. Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury are below the horizon. If you have a telescope, you may be able to see Neptune right next to Mars, and if you follow the line of the Moon, Venus, and Mars, you may be able to see Uranus. And your daughter is correct, it is a waxing crescent moon tonight.

A lot of local PDs give them away for free. Can't hurt to ask.

We are diminished. RIP Officer Szalaj.

In NJ, ANY penetrating injury is considered a significant injury. The probes fired from a CED are designed to penetrate the body. Additionally, there is case law in NJ that defines "bodily injury" as nothing more than a stinging sensation from a light slap.

A Taser falls squarely within the NJ definition of a firearm, and as long as you live here, that's the definition you are stuck with. See post #57?in this thread. Also note in zeke's post above, the ATF also classifies "Stun Gun" devices as a firearm.

How is this even a question? Put it in a safe. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be killed in a home invasion that have my kid or grandkid killed or injured with an unsecured handgun. I keep my pistol in the nightstand drawer in a simplex safe with one in the chamber. It takes just as long to smash the combo as it does to run the slide.

Took all of 2 minutes with a good file for fit and a pair of channel locks to sink the roll pin.

True dat. Also, do some research and compare Keymod v. MLOK. Be an informed consumer

The barrel nut should slide over the muzzle device, but the gas block won't. Another option is to get a 2 piece clamp on gas block and chop the old gas block off altogether. They aren't as reliable as a chopped FSB, but they will work and you don't have to remove the muzzle device. Just make sure you line up the hole in the block with the hole in the barrel. Personally, I would choose a different tube that uses the standard barrel nut, and shave the block to fit so you don't have to do anything with the barrel nut.

Here is what a started with: Here's the cut down block: Close up: After cutting, everything got some Cold Blue and then hit with some High-Temp BBQ spray paint. Here's what I ended up with: All together, not including paint drying time, it took about 1.5 hours.

A Dremel tool works great to chop the gas block. I've done 4 that way. One with an angle grinder and three with the Dremel. The standard A-frame gas block that has been properly pinned to the barrel is the strongest gas block out there - IMO. One thing to keep in mind - The BCM KMR uses a proprietary barrel nut, so you are going to have to remove the standard one that's on there. To do that, you are going to need to remove the muzzle device (possibly damaging or destroying it in the process, requiring replacement) and pull the gas block. I have found that it is easier to pick a tube that uses the standard barrel nut, I personally like the Troy Ind. tubes (I think Rainer, Samson, MI, and Centurion use a standard barrel nut as well). That way all you have to do is shave the gas block, cut off the delta ring, and slide the new tube over everything without having to torque a new barrel nut, re-pin the gas block, and permanently attach a new muzzle device.

Me too. I almost talked Pete and Joe into selling it to me Very nice Fishnut!! Best of luck with it!
