You are going to be quicker because you don't have a decision making process... Find target, shoot. That type of training works for your application. Put a living person next to your target and see if your times are effected. Different means to different ends. At your next match try a level 3 holster, kevlar vest and duty belt (weighed down with a baton, cuffs, flashlight, radio, mag pouch, OC and medical pouch). Don't forget to use a box stock gun. Don't look at the course of fire until you're up either. Actually, disregard. It still wouldn't introduce stress.

Hm, paintball would be the better way to settle this, but with no fear of death, I think that would be pointless, too. The biggest difference between the two is that you train to make shots at set distances and on planned course. These "operators" train for the unknown. You say a comp. shooter would do better, but I'm sure that some of the police that have walked up to a car and eaten a bullet have shot competitively too. It is a completely different game when misses, bad positioning and rash judgement can cost you everything. If you miss a target, you lose points. If I miss a target, I can lose my job and/or freedom. With that in mind, yes... we train differently.

I would send these guys a message: https://www.atf.gov/newark-field-division/new-jersey-field-offices He will get what he deserves.

Wow, what a d**k. He ruined a nice rifle, and created a fake that will get out into the market... Did you report it to gunbroker? They should stop the auction.

Jeep Renegade. 2015 with 27k-ish miles on it. Don't care for it. It did good in a foot of snow and got me through some pretty bad flooding, as well as proven itself to be reliable. It just lacks something. Prior to that, a Hyundai Elantra, and before that a Nissan Sentra. I kinda liked the Elantra but I needed something more reliable for work. If anyone wants to trade for a Wrangler, let me know. Hahaha.

I have a PPS M2, and i love it. I would love it even more if this rebate were out when I bought it. lol

Lead heal is moot, some people like it, some people don't. I have a lead heel and I like the way it looks. If the rifles don't come with certs, shave some money off. They CMP certs are the only thing that tell you that these were not slapped together. The second rifle with a cert can hold $900 all day long with a barrel like that. It should be a good shooter. The stock is the big detractor. It has a hint of a marking, but nothing to really add value. As I said earlier, without the cert, you can offer a little less. Don't buy a story, buy the rifle. A lesson I've learned all too well. As for Nickjc's comment, he is kind of right about the Garand market (kinda goes for a lot of mil-surp. right now) being a bit "inflated". The prices are a little high. Supposedly the CMP is getting something like ~81,000 Garands back from the Philippines, so if you can buy from the CMP, I would wait. There may be an adjustment, but even if they take a small value hit today or tomorrow, the supply is finite. When they are gone, the value has nowhere to go but up. 30-06 is expensive. Don't worry about buying a nice one and shooting it out. If you could afford that, you would probably have a Garand or two already. I personally love my Garand, but I have to admit that it only sees *maybe* one trip a year, and has only seen one JCG trip.

1563621 knows his Garands. I think he has seen a few in his time . The LMR barrels are regarded as good shooters. I do agree that the wear readings on the 1st rifle are a bit high, however if the bores are the same (no pitting, etc...) I like the first rifle better. The nicer stock, more even wear, and milled trigger guard make it a winner in my book. Even with readings of 3, there can still be plenty of serviceable life left in it. I would lower my offer for that one a bit. ~$825 The other one stays at $900-$1000 because of how nice those readings are. You could also sell that IHC trigger group and uncut operating rod and get SA replacements cheaper. I just can't get over the weak heal markings, kind of a deal breaker for me unless I really wanted a shooter.

You are in for an experience like none other with the LEM trigger. That being said, the one I learned on was a v2 which has a heavier pull. It is a trigger that rewards good discipline. It took me some practice to get quick enough with it to feel very confident.

.45 and 9mm cover all the bases now in terms of a weapon. Thanks to advances in the world of polymer and alloys we have (depending on application) ultra compact/ lightweight/ thinner (think grip) guns firing 9mm. On the other end of the spectrum, while there are concealable .45's, I feel that they shine in the "duty" size gun. We now have capacities that close the gap with 9mm counterparts (13+1 Glock 21, 15+1 FNX45). Also, the .45s benefit from a weight reduction, loaded 1911 = ~44 oz and a loaded G21 is about 38 oz. You definitely feel that on a duty rig or belt. In regards to both calibers, I feel that firearm manufacturers have taken such a focus on ergonomics that weather recoil is actually reduced or not, shooters perceive less recoil and more positive control. The .40 was, and is, a compromise round. I think we have seen in recent years that the 9mm JHP loadings have proven themselves virtually equal in REAL WORLD performance.

No sir. Good to go there. I'm sure others will chime in shortly. The only length criteria is a MINIMUM of 16".

Have it sent to a jersey dealer that will pin a brake and shave the lug. You will save a lot of $$. I don't know where you live, but off the top of my head I believe Monmouth arms and rtsp do this work.

See N.J.S.A. 2c:39-3

Gotta look up the law, IIRC they are not legal to carry, but ownership is o.k. They are a game changer >=D.

Sorry, it is RIA over EB in a box. Don't know why I thought it was RA-P. It has the "been there, done that" look with a mint bore. The finish on the metal looks great and everything is "R" marked. The stock has a lot of bumps and bruises with a small repair but is super solid. I love this rifle!

As soon as I get home I will.

Nice find! I found a nice RA-P arsenal built Remington 03-a3 with a C stock slathered in cosmo. Cleaned it off and it is a beauty. All correct.

I have a P2000 with the "Todd Green special" and I think it feels like a light(er than v2), but very positive trigger pull. Just something to consider. The TGS is the light trigger return spring and light firing pin block spring with a heavy main spring. Sometimes I fell like selling it for a HK45c LEM, but it carries well, and I kinda like it.

You're supposed to just kind of gently push until you get resistance. At least that's how I believe it is supposed to be done, and how I do it.

Sorry, no experience with the steel.

+1 Magpul fixed MOE stock, I really like it. I am going to try an A1 on my next build.

I shot 500 rounds of Wichester 124 gr. ammo and I had roughly 6 bad rounds. 3 would not chamber. I got one of them to chamber in my Glock, but my HK wasn't having it. The other 3 rounds jammed my Glock up after they fed. The rounds would almost chamber, but the gun would be slightly out of battery. It was tough to get the slide back, but once I did, I saw that the case was peeled back from the mouth, probably during feeding. This was the first issue I had with Winchester, not that I particularly shoot it a lot, but I am avoiding them for all future ammo purchases.

GO means GO. As long as you're not forcing it shut.

Hmm, maybe they will upgrade to 03a3's when those start to wear in another 100 years or so.

+1 for combat hold. In addition, if it is consistent, it isn't really a "problem." Change the front sight height.
