Weird. Link works for me....

If you are installing a barrel nut during the assembly process than the ALG EMR V2 MLOK - around $145 - is the way to go. http://algdefense.com/ergonomic-modular-rail-v2-m-lok.html

S&T is having a 1 day Pistol II class in Bethlehem on 8/13. http://www.sightsandtrigger.com/site/3ca3207e22524b0293624bd2b8893501/default?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsightsandtrigger.com%2FTraining.html#2904

Yes. Science As long as you don't compress a spring past its elastic limit, there is nothing wrong with keeping a spring compressed. I have fired multiple magazines through an M3 "Grease Gun" that were loaded during Vietnam. They all ran fine. I was always taught to lift a snowmobile/trailer/etc... off the ground to keep the skids, treads, and tires off the ground so they don't rot. It had nothing to do with the suspension or springs. We don't lift our cars up off the ground.

Ok. That's what I thought. This is an unnecessary precaution that actually does the opposite of your intended goal. Modern magazine springs are affected by cycling - the process of repeated compression and relaxation of the mag springs. Leaving a magazine loaded for a long period of time is actually better than routinely loading and unloading them.

Same boat on the safe. I only have long guns in there too.... Lambo, what do you mean by "rotate mags"?

Louu, 1) Facebook is the devil! 2) Working weekends this month. May make a match in August. Shoot straight

I should re-phrase. CrossFit is fine. It seems to work, and aside for the CrossFit/Gym Jones/Mark Twight kerfuffle (I am a big fan of Mark Twight) they seem to be a legit, decent enterprise. What I, a guy that is currently stuck in a lazy and fat rut, hates about CrossFit is that most CrossFitters can't shut up about it. They are like vegans, or Navy SEALs.

If you are set on using it, get this: http://www.lapolicegear.com/blackhawk-jacket-belt-loop.html?gclid=COLt74OYj84CFVVahgodUsQPXg It will attach to the inner belt and drop down through the bottom hole in the HSGI designed for mounting drop holsters.

No excuse. Once in a lifetime opportunity. The caliber of attendees and instructors is staggering. For 48 hours, Alliance, Ohio will be the safest place in the world. You can't miss that!

So jealous. Steve was a constant AI of Pat's - especially in the Shoothouse, FoF, and CEC class I am going to the "Celebration of Pat" at Alliance OH, Steve will be there. Looking forward to taking a block from him.

Step 1) Hold SERPA in your hand. Step 2) Throw SERPA in the garbage Step 3) Curse yourself for buying a SERPA in the first place Step 4) Go online and by a Safariland ALS with UBL Step 5) Mount the UBL to the inner belt through the opening in the battle belt Step 6) Do the dance of joy that you don't have a shitty holster anymore

Nice article by the folks at Breach, Bang, Clear on the future of EAG: http://www.breachbangclear.com/what-now-legacy-future-eag-tactical/

Spend the dough on the Peltor or the equivalent MSA/Sordins. There are no better alternatives. The value is worth the cost. The ability for guests/learnees/new shooters to clearly hear you on the range is worth every penny.

You have to vet your instructors. Big time. LMS and Sentinel do an excellent 2 man Shoothouse course (they do a rifle and a hand gun only version) in Alliance Ohio. Worth the trip.

I always wondered how the Judge type revolvers got past this. I assume it's because the barrel is rifled. Having less than zero interest in that class of handgun, I never bothered to look it up.

Ah, Sonny P. The instructor who, while instructing, in a single run of the shoothouse, shot his very own AI - not once, not twice, not thrice, but FOUR Times! Under low light he mistook his Assistant Instructor who was finishing a run with a student for..... a shoot target. Despite his account of firing 3 center mass shots at each of three targets in the room, he managed to shoot his AI 4 times - hand, arm, and two in the stomach. Luckily for the AI, Sonny is a terrible shot. Read on - so much derp: http://soldiersystems.net/2012/11/14/statement-from-the-range-owner-regarding-the-recent-accidental-shooting/

The link doesn't work, but based on the title, I don't think I want to read the stupidness therein. I don't know how you didn't throat punch him. If we are banning guns based on "death power" ask him how he is going to hunt in NJ without his shotgun?

This. I know this is a gun board and as such our main focus has always been the 2A, but we need to look at the bigger picture and make others, those whose priority isn't necessarily 2A issues, look as well. The 2A is the weather bell. Once that falls, the strategies used to erode our constitutional right to bear arms will be used to strip other rights away in the future.

That argument is a double edged sword. The down side being that now that the AR platform is so prevalent, they are being used in more and more crimes and terror attacks. 3 years or so ago, you never read about an "assault weapon" (I fucking hate that term) being used in the commission of a crime. We have had multiple attacks, crimes, and murders perpetrated this last month alone with a Tavor, and AR, and an AK74.

Correct. You can't look at a law in Mass as a template for a law in NJ. NJ politicians will look at that and saw - how can we make it more restrictive and binding? You know, for the children

I was listening to the NPR the other day on the way in to work (I know I know). They were talking about how there was little movement at the federal level regarding gun control - but - on the state level there has been a ton. Between 1990 and 2014 there were over 20,000 pieces of gun control introduced with over 3,000 becoming law. Some were pro gun, most were not. http://www.npr(DOT)org/2016/07/12/485726439/mass-shootings-influence-spike-in-gun-related-laws-at-state-level *replace the (DOT) with . This is "Death by a million cuts". States will continue to chip away at rights and challenges will take years to be heard at the SCOTUS level, which by then will make the new restrictions feel normal. If Hillary wins, we are even worse off. There will most likely be 3-4 SCOTUS Justices appointed by the next POTUS. If she gets to choose them they will be of the most liberal people imaginable.
