I’m currently have a Redfield 2x7 installed which will get relocated to my Mini. I just purchased a Burris Fullfield II E1 Riflescope 3-9x40mm (still in box) for my Saiga 308. I’m still on the fence as to if I want to do the brake or not. Last time out in January I was convinced I was going to get one. I’ve already made my thoughts known about having one welded, that's not happening. I may continue to just go without one however if I do a bolt-on you’re the leading candidate.

Originally I was thinking leave it on but after thinking about it that would look clunky plus it is scoped. I know it’s not always the case but my personal choice it to do things in manner that if I wanted I could return it to stock. Obviously that’s reason for the post and why I don’t want to thread it just to weld it on. I noticed two cross pins so if they come out easy enough that would be the way to go because if I want to put the sight back on for any reason I assume it would be a simple as knocking the sight back in place and driving in the pins back in place providing the brake doesn’t mar surface. Let me just research that somewhat and if I find it’s just a matter of the pins I get some new measurements and we will go from there.

Sorry I should have specified Saiga 308 which would likely be a totally different design. However that is a nice looking device indeed, wish I could use it.

Actually the BEST shot to overturn the AWB was well before that when Florio was still in office. It was supposed to be and override of the Governor. The Assembly passed their part and the Senate was set to do the same but Senate President Donald DiFrancesco didn’t put it to a vote and which killed any chance for an override. It was obvious someone got to Donny Boy and yes Whitman was no better. IMO circulating the petitions in Gun Shops and Ranges sounds like a excellent idea.

I’ve been street legal since the mid 70’s and no gas attendant has every offered to pump my gas on any bike I’ve owned. Bike owners know that is the unwritten rule but it doesn’t dismiss the BS law. I know you know but for those that don’t know cycle owner don’t want some attendant dinging their tanks or dropping fuel in their laps so that’s the reason we get a pass. Personally for on the car I don’t care who pumps but I’d like to be able to do it myself in case the attendant is dragging azz getting to the pump. In other words as like in any other state, run the CC, fuel and GO but that brings us back to the Nanny State

The member’s point is NJ is a Nanny State and if they don’t trust us to pump our own fuel you could figure out the rest....

Edited to condense: I purchased and Saiga 7.62. If I go with bullet guide method and pinned AK 15 round mags how do you still maintain 922r compliance? Anyone using the AR Mag adapter for the 223 to utilize pinned 15rd AR mags? Thoughts, comments or horror stories are welcome

You are exactly right and it is Cleveland OH not Beverly Hills CA and that is what makes it a great story! To add to what you stated at 78 years old climbing steps sometimes become a challenge so that be another reason.

It’s probably safe to say that goes for any Central or South Jersey papers as well. In my view (with the exception of us) the entire state is brainwashed into thinking LEGAL gun ownership is bad and is directly related to crime thanks to the phony azz NJ Politicians Don’t forget Menendez, he has no loyalty to Law Abiding gun owners

I've signed, looks like non-NJ residents are signing as well. So it is OK to forward to family and friends that are not NJ residents or will those sigs be disallowed ? TIA BTW now at 6,999

here's the best part, Joe Vas was the co-sponsor of the one gun per month Former Assemblyman Joseph Vas is sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison

I see now, thanks. I will not know what I'm buying until I sit down and order the parts. who knows, may do the same as the previous configuration because it was fairly cheap and quick and easy to do, then again I really like the woody look as well. This should be my biggest problem making this decision, LOL

What’s the difference or what is the preferred block? You may remember about 2 months ago I did my 308 & 223 but I used the standard Tapco stocks on both. I liked the 223 so much I picked up another 223 about 3 weeks ago. I would like to do my second 223 a little different (once I have the funds) with the Ace stock as the OP here. I asked on my post (#48) about the blocks but I was probably unclear. Thanks in advance

we stopped using Turbo Tax after this and been using TaxCut ever since. I think TT wised up after that but we won't go back. As far as any refund haven't even looked yet and if I do get one it will just go for what I already own...

Thanks for the reply back guys, I wasn't sure how popular the 223 was here but glad to see a others have the 223 as well. I really like this little carbine. Next time out I take some M855, I may even have some M193 left to try as well.

I understand, I also have an SU16 which is chambered in 5.56. The SU16 doesn’t like the Silver Bear as far accuracy goes. I will not be buying Silver Bear going forward, that said the SU16 does well for me with other 223 such as PMC

Thank you sir, I have a bunch or Silver Bear I have to blow off first then I give the 5.56 a try

Anyone else out there with a Saiga 223 and if so are you using 5.56 ammo? I don’t know if I’m just being over cautious or not so I figured I’d throw it out there. I’ve seen a few YouTube videos that say it’s OK and the guy in this post and the owner’s manual appear to indicate no problem with 5.56 The reason I’m asking is I was always told go by what is stamped on the gun. I have a Ruger14 and .233 is stamped on the that gun as well so it’s kind of the same thing. In the Ruger owner’s manual and it says .223 and 5.56x45 in parentheses (like the Saiga owner's manual) so again I would think 5.56 is OK. I called Ruger and the Rep said ALL Mini14(s) with the exception of the Target rifle could safely shoot 5.56, that was a few years ago and haven't any issue with the Mini14 and 5.56. So any thoughts of the Saiga with 5.56? Thanks in advance

I should have been more specific, I’ve omitted P2P comments because those circumstances don’t apply to me. My reply was with regards how I travel To & From the range. Again, I should have specified that. As far as out of state P2P buys I haven’t done one yet. That’s doesn’t mean I’ll never do one, it just means in the last 35 years of going round and round and off & on with this hobby I haven’t done one yet so you could save your P2P concerns for the OP. If you think carrying the extra paperwork is over-the-top or foolish I can’t do anything about that. I’ve had my FID card since 70’s and sometime shortly after getting my first handgun it was suggested that I carry the extra copies and have been doing it ever since. I don't have a problem with it. Personally I wouldn’t buy anything from an anonymous patron just walking about in a gun show. If you and/or the OP want to buy firearms from anonymous folks walking about in PA gun shows from people you will likely never see again, go for it. I purchased a Shotgun a few years ago at the Valley Forge GS from an established vendor and it was written up just like I purchased it at the local Sporting Goods store here in NJ. Would I have purchased something similar (and used) and from an anonymous gun show attendee, absolutely not but that's my call...

I guess Bob summed it up. As far as getting pulled over you would think the FID card is enough but I have a binder with copies of ALL my receipts and NJSP forms in addition to the FID card so there is NO question about ownership and at the same time that provides proof the firearms were legally purchased in NJ. Is that required, maybe not but this is NJ and CYA is not a bad thing.

this looks like the backstory A former Vineland police officer busted with a massive cache of guns, a teargas canister, and a live grenade at his home pleaded guilty Thursday to unlawful possession of weapons and ammunition. Brian Hinkel, 62, of Newfield, pleaded guilty in Gloucester County Superior Court to illegally possessing four assault rifles and 21 large-capacity ammunition magazines, according to a statement from the state Attorney General's office. Prosecutors will recommend that Hinkel be sentenced to five years in state prison. State Police stumbled upon Hinkel's arsenal when they visited his home in January 2009 to ask him about his ties to two burglary suspects. Hinkel tried to flee, picking up a gun from his kitchen before the troopers subdued him, police said.When police searched his home, they found hundreds of handguns and rifles, including semiautomatic weapons. Some were hidden in a bunker, police said.

From today's Trentonian, I'd like to know what the unrelated investigation was... Staff report TRENTON – A South Jersey man has pleaded guilty to possession of assault rifles and illegal ammunition magazines, which were seized when the state police discovered a huge cache of weapons at his home, Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa announced Friday Brian Hinkel, 62, of Newfield, a former Vineland police officer, pleaded guilty Thursday afternoon before Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson to four counts of third-degree possession of an assault rifle and 21 counts of fourth-degree possession of a prohibited device. The prohibited devices were 21 illegal large-capacity ammunition magazines. Under the plea agreement, the state will recommend that Hinkel be sentenced to five years in state prison. Deputy Attorney General Jill Mayer prosecuted the case and took the guilty plea for the Division of Criminal Justice Gangs & Organized Crime Bureau. The charges were contained in an Aug. 30, 2010 indictment stemming from an investigation by the state police. Allen-Jackson scheduled sentencing for Hinkel for June 1. Hinkel was arrested on Jan. 26, 2009, when the state police went to his house to question him in an unrelated investigation and discovered numerous firearms in plain view. The state police executed a search warrant and discovered approximately 258 guns, including the illegal assault rifles. In pleading guilty, Hinkel admitted to illegally possessing 21 large-capacity magazines for semi-automatic rifles, as well as the following illegal assault weapons: a Calico .22-caliber long rifle semi-automatic carbine; a 7.62x39mm Norinco semi-automatic rifle; a .223-caliber Colt semi-automatic rifle; a .30-caliber National Ordnance semi-automatic carbine. Detective Sgt. Michael Peterson and Trooper Daniel Cunning led the investigation for the New Jersey State Police.

I’m not a betting man, however if I were I’d bet if it weren’t for the actions of those here it would have sailed right though the committee. At least is it stymied for now…. The members here that pointed out that existing law already has this covered likely helped our cause. Let’s face it the idiots in Trenton are clueless and love to pile on layer after layer of useless gun laws onto law abiding citizens, for what? . Like I stated earlier EVERY and ANY proposed gun law should be shot down, we have enough gun laws. Like the old sayings, so do I "Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." - Plato (427-347 B.C.)

I don’t they are taking credit credit for it; I just think they are just trying to spin it as if they had some impact. NRA members or non-members, who cares? What matters is Regular folks like us called, emailed and faxed and that is what got the attention of the clowns in Trenton. Fighting to a draw is not a victory. This only means more of this BS is yet to come. IMO with all the latest crime and Gun Violence in Trenton people like Bonnie Watson aren’t going to give up. She and those like her with the Nanny state mindset will try and pass other restrictions as crime in Trenton continues. We all know NJ Gun laws are BS, these laws only impacts hobbyist because bad guys don’t give a sh*t about ANY laws.We have to be ready for the next round whenever & wherever that will be...
