This is what I had done after concerns were raised about other anesthesia types due to asthma and the complexity and length of the surgery due to the way the teeth were coming in. It went fine, no issues. But, I have never had a cavity though so I have nothing to compare it to...

Exactly. The "pristine" or "magic" bullet is neither. You can clearly see the rifling transferred to the bullet, as well as the shape of the cross section being flattened/out of round and portions of the soft lead being extruded from the rear of the jacket. Additionally, we are all gun people here and have realistic expectations of what a bullet can do. The idea that a single round can pass through two people is not absurd, especially if the first person is hit in the soft and relatively thin tissue of the neck.

I don't smoke. But I get allergies and sneeze a lot die to post nasal drop. I got 2 dry sockets when I had my wisdom teeth extracted. It hurt like a mofo. Doc packed it with this foul smelling evil tasting brown gauze and it worked like a charm.

Well, what was it? C'mon man, spit it out!

Tons of fun. We looked at it for work. Comfortable, well laid out controls, extremely controllable, quiet and accurate. We didn't like the ballistics involved. I really wish they made it in other calibers, it is an ingenious design and a very efficient use of space. It still has a niche role in certain circumstances, just none for what we wanted. I really think a 12g based on this design would be awesome. You could probably load up a box magazine with 15-20 shells in that "90 degrees perpindicular to the barrel" configuration across an 18" barrel in a bullpup configuration.

It's a Luger in .45ACP isn't it?

Yikes! Glad you found out about the infection in time. Feel better!

Newtons 3rd Law. As brain tissue of more significant mass than the bullet exited the front, the head moves back - every action has an equal and opposite reaction. It is a repeatable phenomenon that can be recreated by a HS senior in a Physics class. There is also a neurological response that can account for that under certain conditions. Additionally, any forward motion may have been too slight or too fast to be captured by the frame rate on the camera/film used. Did you ever watch video of someone shooting a semi-auto pistol and you completely miss the slide reciprocating? You know it happened, the device just didn't record it.

Absolutely easy shots and completely possible in my opinion. The farthest shot (head) was only about 90 yards, the neck shot being about 60 - easy with a 4x scope that is zeroed. There is no "pristine" or magic bullet, it is out of round consistent with passing through soft tissue (the neck) and yawing before striking someone else. Watching the following has reinforced my opinion: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/tech/cold-case-jfk.html This was also extremely interesting: http://www.sciencefriday.com/#path/segment/11/22/2013/using-modern-ballistics-to-crack-cold-case-jfk.html

I watched the video. I found my self wanting to scream "OFFSET!!" To the shooter at the 1:30 mark

Pat is an awesome dude. Very intense. Bring your A game and prepare to let it all hangout on front of everyone. I am looking seriously at attending this myself. ETA: Joe mentioned his class in Bethlehem at the S&T Carbine class in September.

That works - until it doesn't... I have seen folks miss the lever completely or cup their hands just so, creating a void under their palm just big enough to fit the switch without actually touching it. Then, when they slap for the lever, they hit the receiver all around it but the lever isn't pressed. The correct way to do it is to use your support hand thumb if your right handed. If you are a lefty, use your first or second finger wrapped around the mag well. I have them on all of my ARs, including my work guns. I got one a few months before they were released, saw the utility and became a convert. Since I started using the BAD I have never had a bolt go into battery early, they have never caused a malfunction, they haven't broken, they are intuitive, fast on many manipulations, make clearing malfunctions one handed muuuuch easier, and make some admin tasks much easier. To each their own, and a BAD isn't a required peice of gear on a social gun, like a sling and white light are, but they are good kit and work well.

Here you go Shawn. Just posted in the marketplace: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/classifieds/item/1474-used-sig-1911-tacops/

No priming. Just degrease it well. Simple green work great for this. Remove whatever you don't want painted, tape anything glass (flashlight lens, optic lenses) or rubber (tape switches, flashlight buttons, etc...) and tape your iron sights if you can't remove them. It also dries faster if the gun is warm - letting it sit in the sun for a bit prior to painting, and after painting is complete is helpful. Aervoe seems to work best and has a great color line up for what you want. For true camo purposes, vice pretty guns, large blended blotches is better. Using broad strokes mist the entire gun. Then using the same technique cover portions of the rifle with other colors. You can use netting (net laundry bags and fishnet stockings work well) leaves/sticks, stencils, cardboard, tape, etc if you want to add shapes to the paint job. Painting the barrel is fine also, just stuff the break/comp with paper towels or something. Make sure you keep the dust cover closed (I also remove the BCG) and don't paint the "stem" on the charging handle. If you can find it, finish with a matte clear.

I think it is a combination of the BATFE letter and no one has done anything wrong with an FSC556 on their rifle. It also was designed with its primary function being a comp vice hider and as such has a closed end with an aperture in it, passing the "pinky test". And, when you think about it, it is no more ridiculous than a 2 100% identical rifles where one is illegal because it says AR15 on the side and the other is legal because it says BS26, or an MSAR is OK but an AUG is a no go, or a 16" barrel is OK but a 15.5" barrel isn't, or that you can pin a stock in any position from open to closed and anything in between, but if you can adjust it yourself you are in the jackpot.

You find anything in Stealth Gray let me know!

I just ordered a UDE set from LaRue myself. I like the Stealth Gray myself, I was just trying to find some stuff in that color on Friday with no luck.

And if you build a new upper you may need a new lower to go with it can't have a lonely upper in the safe, that's barbaric. Quick tangent related to my above statement: I have been following these receivers as they were being developed and tested: http://www.tnarmsco.com/receivers/ I am not a fan of polymer lowers but I am intrigued by these. And at $45-$55 a pop I may just get a few.

According to Troppers at the NJSP Ballistics Unit, the "pinky test" is the best "guideline" out there for NJ residents. NJ does not follow the federal definition of "Flash Hider" and does no measurements to see how much flash is suppressed by the device to determine if it qualifies as an evil feature or not. They look at the title of the device, what the description of the device is, what it's primary attributes are as stated by the manufacturer, what the device is designed to do, and finally to see if the device is "open" at the end - If there isn't a closed end with an aperture slightly larger than the projectile be fired (or a "pinky") to pass through it is a flash hider. You will never get a ruling or law on this, like so many things dealing woth firearms in NJ it is an "opinion".

I haven't actually played with one of those rails let alone installed one, but from what I can tell from the limited research I have done the Fortis rail is a one peice design requiring either the removal of the FSB and muzzle device or the cutting and grinding down of the FSB to a low profile type gas block for installation on an already built upper. Personally, I prefer the standard FSB for social guns so cutting/grinding is a no-go and if the muzzle device I prefer is already pinned and welded I don't want to cut that off destroying a $100-$150 part, that now needs to be replaced (essentially making it a $200-$300 part) plus I now have to pay a smith to pin and weld the replacement on since I am not currently set up to do that kind of work. Or I can buy a 2 peice free float rail for $250, install it myself on any riflegun I have with no issues and deal with the extra 3-6oz. That being said, I am seriously looking at one of MWPXs uppers or upper/lower combos in the very near future. For a light weight rail system that does not need to be retrofitted I am digging the Fortis offerings a whole bunch.

The only difference in an auto vs a semi carrier is in the tail section (the part that interfaces with the buffer in the receiver extension) It will have no affect on the chamber or barrel extension. The bolt, cam pin, gas key are all identical. I use auto carriers exclusively, in my experience they are more reliable and subjectively softer shooting.
