Getting ready to take the plunge....Any thoughts or horror stories on the Del-Ton Inc LR100 ? I was looking for a Palmetto State and Spike's Tactical lower but many vendors were out so this is my third choice. I was able to locate a DTI and didn't see any nasty reviews (yet) so just wanted to run it by you guys before placing the order. Thanks in advance

I'll agree TAK-D was a little slow and I will tell you DA was no better in my case. I have two S223's and was going to have DA upgrade my mag adapter on my #2 S223, I contacted them back in Feb/March and just received a notification about 2 two weeks ago to send it in. Before I get flamed I know some other folks here used DA and got their done fairly quickly so maybe my request just got lost or they were overwhelmed and just couldn't keep up. Anyway I declined and will going to with the stock mag-well on #2. As far as being "superior", yes to your original first release adapter but that is negative on the TAK-D Bastard, The Bastard beats the snot out of the original TAK-D adapter you had, I had the original as well and there is a huge difference. In fact I did the original adapter last July when you did yours. I now have the Bastard w/LRBHO and love it. DA offers a finishing service but that's about all they have over on the Bastard IMO. If folks prefer the ALL steel DA adapter that's fine but keep in mind you have dissimilar metals on your AR. The Bastard it anchored to the receiver in four locations and isn't going anywhere.I have no problem with the Aluminum Bastard, again its much like an AR lower. And for those that don't know the Bastard is a DIY install and the DA is done by them I'm no expert on these conversions but I've done a few. One thing I found that is different on the S223 an issue with using a Tapco hammer. According to this post here "A standard AK/Tapco hammer can beat up and damage the rear of the 223 Saiga bolt and the firing pin doesn't seem to last as long as the standard one in the 7.62x39 model". Again, this only applies to the S223. I ran it by one of the long time S12 members and he agreed. The solution is simple, continue to use the original S223 hammer, it will work with your Tapco G2 Single (or Double) Hook with no problems. The original hammer will provide the smoothest operation, since I have two S223 if when I did a side by side comparison I could actually see the original hammer land perfectly on the bolt whereas the Tapco hammer is slightly off. Some may argue this a a non issue but I'm happy I rolled back to the factory hammer and just to be safe with the 922 thing I changed out the piston to a US piston because I don't want to depend on just the mags to make it 922 complaint. So this may be something for you to consider, or maybe not.. Always like to watch a good Saiga video... He was doing good until he got to bullet guide. I would never stick a tap in a drill. That's a great way to bust your tap off in the hole then you have real problems. Here's the correct way to do the bullet guide, BTW very nice job so far on you build.

Editorial comment first…. You could thank Obama Care for the 30 hr. work week, many companies are doing whatever they can to cut back Health Care cost so we could all thank Obama for that. UPS just cut their Health Care for employees spouses so another big thanks out to Obama… The way I understand it “IF” your father’s company didn’t reduce his hours to cut his Health Care he could have stayed on as long as he was working full time. I knew some folks over 65 that were working Full time and weren’t on Medicare yet because they were still were on the Employer’s Health Care. One guy said that would be a way for the Employer to save money but apparently it don’t work that way. So as I understand it just because some is 65 doesn’t make Medicare mandatory if they are working full time. Anyway for more reliable answers (other than my reply) have him check out AARP or the Amac which is the “Conservative Alternative to AARP” for medicare insurance plans.

101.5 has a poll up for it, i posted the link this morning so you may want to hit the poll

Mods please delete if previously posted, if not they are coming after you wallets again... Hit this poll Things Gun Owners Need to Know About the Firearms Excise Tax and More

Good call! do you think we could float the idea over to FoxNews and get some like Judge Napolitano or Judge Jeanine weigh in on it?

I’m not partying, I’m just relieved …. Pardon the pun but we dodged a bullet. To answer your question of course we are no better off and the point is it could have gotten worst. If you want ”better off” or a CCW you could either wait until the Libertarians take control of both houses (LOL) or pack your bags. The Dem lawmakers are the ones that put all this shit forward and they aren’t going to do anything to support RTKABA. So let’s review, CC shot down the first round and then approved the second round and yesterday finally shot down round 3 which were the most intrusive bills. The bills he approved were weren’t even in the same league as what got turned back yesterday. Also keep in mind one bill was a good bill for us. IMO we got in this “Hell hole” (as you describe it) because of the Florio AWB. That was the elephant sticking his nose under the circus tent. Now the elephant is even further under the tent thanks to the current Dems. Florio had nothing else to bring to the table except Tax and Spending so the AWB was no more than smoke & mirrors. I’m wasn’t a CC fan because he threw his support behind the original AWB but I give him credit for yesterday. CC was an unknown at that point in time but his stock just went up in my book for yesterday’s actions. Am I happy with the current laws, absolutely not but like I said it could have went from bad to worst with the stroke of a pen. The Dems have to be thrilled with this and will probably integrate this into their campaign platform, run on it and use it against him by any means necessary. I think he’s going to get drilled by the Libs on this and I appreciate that he did the right thing and had the balls to shoot it down. Love his or hate him he is very calculating so as an observer only I’ll be very interested to see how he answers the criticism which you know is coming… If you want to moan over the passage of the round-2 bills there is nothing I could do about that. Be advised there was a post here earlier this week which was a YouTube vid of an ANJRPC rep stating after CT massacre there were 85 bills introduced by the NJ legislators so and considering we are at now I’ll take it, YMMV.

Unless you have been living in a cave for the last 25 years you should realize winning a draw on a gun bill in NJ is a WIN in this state. This could have very easily went the other way so your statement is uncalled for, he put the brakes on this shit for the moment so give the man some credit. Looking for someone to bash, go after Sheila Oliver and Bryan Miller and that tribe...

Yep, Trenton Times editorial. The Trenton Times always did have a left tilt. Back in the old days the Trentonain use to provide the balance but then they went off the deep-end by going into full tabloid mode. it’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Love the Gov or hate him he’s a shrewd politician and a media whore. He is up for re-election so does he do the right thing and veto the remaining bills or does he pander to the libs and throw 2A rights under the bus for an Attaboy on NJ.Com ?

.... nj.com is still at it

Quick question, did you do anything with the horizontal pin that locks in the front of the factory handguard ? I did my S762 with the original handguard but I'm going to do my S223 like yours, I have the KVFM-B and UltiMAK Optics Mount but still waiting for the forend cap. Just wondering if you left the pin in place, drifted it out or ground it down.... Thanks in advance

.... just trying to be somewhat optimistic. You have an election coming up, pull the lever for Barbara Buono. Here I’m thinking you are trying to be slick with nbsp, What are you running, Netscape 4,?

So the 50 cal and new FID card bills are remaining, maybe some hope yet….

done, still holding at 95%

I don't have chromecast but I've had the TL-WR1043ND for about 3.5 years now running dd-wrt firmware. Not sure about the factory firmware but ours has been a great performer with dd-wrt with excellent wireless coverage. We have no issues Streaming Netfix or HBO-Go, that is unless Netflix is having issues on their end...

We will see, like the post post title says NJ.Com at it again.....

We didn't see any in Trenton or Hamilton but weren't expected to see them. I think the best Cicada post was one of the member’s was blowing them off the berm with some 7.62x54r

or he's been living in a cave for the last 23 years.... I hope he's not from NJ otherwise he could end up being tomorrow's headline.

Wow, just no end to it…

I must as did the edit as you posted. so yes, unlike PA they accommodated us

I remember something hearing something to that effect as well in April when I attended my class. It was something to do with their *written agreement* but he didn’t go into detail. He gave us the same speech in 2008 when I got my FL & VA permits and we seen how worked out. OT but it’s all BS anyway, if NJ wasn't so much of a Nanny state and if you could go thru the normal requirements that other states use and obtain your NJ CCW permit PA would gladly give you one. The snag, as you know is PA requires you to obtain your home state permit as a prerequisite before they issue their non-resident. I also remember hearing in our class that Utah has a similar home state ccw permit requirement but Utah realizes NJ CCW permits are only given to those plugged-in politically so the home state requirement doesn’t apply for us for Utah. ----->EDIT: Or more specifically “if you are a resident of a state that has reciprocity with, or honors, a Utah Gun Permit (e.g., PA, DE, VA), you must have a gun permit from your state of residence to apply for the Utah Concealed Firearms Permit. If you are from a state that does not issue permits to carry, or does not honor a Utah Concealed Firearms Permit, you do NOT need any other gun permit to apply”.

IMO nj.com is left-wing and are very aware that bills are pending so therefore they could be trying to ramp up the opposition.

for me the question is will the article impact on the Gov's decision? He really needs to veto these bills and be done with it.

The wheel probably got in the way while trying to eat and text at the same time....
