M1152

so you got one, good for you! again, I'm no expert on them but just perform your basic safety inspection of the firing pin (stick-out), head space before firing it. there are plenty of YouTube videos on both subjects and worth a look. For the head space check I used sort of a half-azzed method to check. I purchased the No-Go gauge and notched it out for the extractor because I didn't want to remove the extractors to perform the check, anyway that works for me. Have fun and congrats on your purchase!

exactly, I went on a Mosin kick last year and wanted to get the C&R so I could buy them myself. I had the app filled out and then found (here or in another forum) the C&R is useless in NJ. long story short you need the FFL which I'm not going to do...in other words just pay as I go

I went shooting Friday and took my SU16 and converted Saiga 223. The Tapco trigger on Saiga is superb compared to the SU16 after toggling back and forth between the two rifles. A friend sent me this video a while back which I had forgot about it until seeing the difference in the two triggers. I decided give it a try, it’s a very good video if you want to do your trigger job on any of the rifles listed. I didn’t grind the sear because mine kind of looked like it had the angle already and I didn’t completely straighten out the trigger spring. I do see a difference; if you do this an extra set of hands is helpful on the reassembly

I have a Taurus TP 24/7 Pro 45 and no complaints....

Don’t know, I’m just throwing it out there so others who may not be aware of the RB could compare the two for themselves...

Thanks for the Tip but it doesn’t matter if the adapter is mounted or un-mounted, it is just a tad snug. The gentlemen I mentioned to you previously from the S12 forum had the same issue so that is how I knew to polish it. It just needs a little more elbow grease and I’m sure it will be fine afterwards. Did you have to file any off the Saiga mag release as noted in the instructions? I didn’t, after initial fitting was complete it dropped right into place. Aside from the slightly snug mag all is good, I'm just waiting for the bullet guide then it will be complete I had the same concerns but after going through the process and trying to view the modification from a structural viewpoint I’m no longer worried about it. I’m not a engineer or a metallurgist but in my view all you are doing is opening it up. If you overheat the metal while bearing down on your favorite milling tool you will take the temper out of the steel and you will have problems. If the MSA version is not for you there is another adapter called the Renegade Buck. With the RB supposedly you don’t need to remove as much metal but that one has its own issues.

I did one over the weekend as well. The adapter is aluminum and very nice craftsmanship. You fit the gun to the adapter, not the adapter to the gun. If you follow the specs the adapter doesn’t wobble at all and locks in nicely. The mill specs are at the bottom of this thread. My mags aren’t free falling out (yet) at the push of the release but with a little polishing inside the adapter I’m sure they will.

here's my two M91/30's and M44

great post, I enjoyed it... As for the Mosin for a $100 bucks you get a little piece of history, it is well worth it to me. I have three Mosins and if I had room I'd like to get more.They are just a blast to shoot and always a conversation starter at the range.

@ halbautomatisch to the best of my knowledge only the 5 rd & 20rd mags were OEM, pretty much everything else was aftermarket. Edit: I'm wrong, not that it does us any good but Ruger does make 30's as well

I own the Mini14 and it’s been the same deal here since the AWB. Like you said you could find 15rd mags for AR & AK variants but I don’t recall ever seeing 15rd mag for the Mini14. I guess the aftermarket folks don’t care to accommodate NJ Mini14 owners because they probably sell enough 5rd to 100rd drum mags to the rest of the US so they don’t need to worry about NJ folks and our stupid AWB w/15rd mag limit. I’d had my Mini14 for years and never seen a 15round mag for it yet, that’s don’t mean they are not out there, it just means I’ve never seen one. If you find some please post back but in the meantime I’ll follow the post. Have a safe/pleasant 4th of July

just added $20

I haven’t purchased handguns in over three years because I’m content with my pistol collection, I've been on long gun kick since then… Anyway on my last FFL Transfer the NJ dealer advised me other states do NOT charge for NICS because it is a free service. So the way I understand it is the State of NJ made itself the middle-man and so it could charge us for something that is done in other states by the vendors for free

Why stop there? How about CCW for NJ residents and receding the stupid AWB since those restrictions preceded the OGAM law. In my view if the AWB didn’t happened neither would have the OGAM. The AWB just made it easier for the clowns in Trenton to pile this nonsense on… Edit: I forgot the most important part… here is the sponsor of the bill http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/04/ex-middlesex_county_lawmaker_j.html

does anyone know off hand if a NJ resident legally sell rifle ammo (not handgun) on gunbroker or is also forbidden by the nanny state? Thanks in advance... just want to add not looking to make a living at it, just want to off load some ammo I no longer have a use for

And on the flip side the Renegade Buck doesn’t require that much milling but some mags have been reported to drop out and IMO the RB does not look as elegant as the MSA. For those that haven’t looked into these the excess milling on the MSA is concern to with regards to structure of the receiver. Some claim over time with the milled receiver that will allow cracks to develop. Others will argue if done correctly there is no problem. That’s why I didn’t jump right into this one…

I get periodic email blast from centerfire because a fellow NJGF member recommended them to me last year and I ordered a S223 from them. Last week centerfire did have them in stock, on or about 6/16 the site posted 18 in stock. Centerfire looks to be taking backorders so if you are in no hurry you might want to entertain the thought of locking-in at that price. With a $35 FFL fee and $18 for NICS you’d be looking at $432 out the door but if you want to pay more locally that’s your call. I have two Saiga 223’s otherwise I would have ordered another .223 because I like it that much. Keep in mind you could shoot 223 and 5.56 with the S223 so I consider that a big advantage. There is sometimes a debate about other 223 carbines like the Mini 14 as to if you could shoot 5.56 but I’m confident that the S223 can do 5.56. (OT and for the record Ruger did advised me only the target model Mini14 is restricted to 223) Also since being a member here I discovered via vladtepes that some guys mod the S223 to adapt AR mags so that’s another option to think about. I haven’t done the mag mod because I’m still on the fence about milling out the receiver. I looked into a little further and found there are two types of adapters, the MSA and the Renegade Buck adapter. Each have their pros and cons. If I opt for the mod I’ll save that for a Fall/Winter project. I have no interest 5.45. I’m sure it’s fun to shoot but to me it is an odd ball round that I don’t need, if anything I’d like to get a second 7.62. Good luck with your decision and purchase, as long as your happy with your decision that is all that matters.

I used CSS a few times, no complaints, .. you might want the Tapco Screw Set for the back holes with some Loctite... also see if you stock set comes the grip nut

reply #2 is correct but take a look here... some guys put the tap in the drill..LOL

Thanks for the reply back, not having had one myself I can't see it, just did a quick search on Yogu w/lug and found the one below so I guess it is there....Thanks for clearly that up http://www.gunlistin...70b1__39709.jpg

I guess that about answers it; After all we are taking about NJ firearm laws and looking at Trenton it is never going to make any sense…The FFL I use would definitely reject ANY sale if “AK” appeared on any documentation whatsoever, even if AK was used only use as a descriptive phase they would not transfer so you would be correct. I'll assume many NJ FFL’s would do the same. Anyway I was just wondering if the gun itself was compliant. It looks compliant to me, no glaring NJ violations such as flash hider, folding stock and mags greater than 15 rounds, got to love NJ

I received an email blast from Centerfiresystem.com today with this Yugo. The ad states it can not be shipped to NJ. I don't want one, I'm just interested as to what I'm missing as far as NJ compliance? Thanks in advance

you forgot one

Nicely done! after seeing that now I need another one...

Maybe not what you are looking for but I have the Fullfield E1 Riflescope 3X-9X-40mm on my 308 with a mount *like* the Adjustable-Dual-Side-Scope-Mount-Riser-Picatinny-Weaver-Rail, my mount is the same minus the logo, another eBay special. No complaints with the Burris scope(s) but I discovered that the slightest bump will knock the lateral adjustment off, I'm not happy with that. I’m may look for another mount w/o the vertical & lateral adjustments if this one wanders off the mark again. As usual I should have gone with the first mount I looked at w/o the extra adjustments.My sight isn’t what it used to be either but after 50 I’m just happy to get up in the morning
