OK, how about at least say a weekly updated set of general photos of their inventory? Most places have glass displays for handguns, and rifles...well...maybe that'll be harder. But a cell phone camera can get each section of a display case to give people a general idea of what's there. 10-20 firearms in a single picture would still be clear enough for a quick reference. Might even generate more interest...who knows?

I've stopped bothering even looking at most local shop's websites - they never seem to have inventory, or the rare times they do, it is almost always without prices. I understand a small shop won't have the resources to keep things up to date, so it's not a big deal, but it would still be nice. Most of my local shops are close enough I can do a loop and cover all 4+ in a day, and if I don't find it there (or have the option to order through one), I just go to gunbroker. What I might suggest is a photo of the exterior of the business. There have been places I've tried to find that were like trying to find Waldo. Places inside other businesses should maybe mention that little fact, too. In reading posts from other people about part-time/home-based FFLs, I'd suggest those places have either an actual list of hours, or mention their hours are random, AND have multiple ways of getting in touch with them (and actually check those damn methods).

Rob, I know what you mean about going to theaters - I never was a fan, especially when my system sounds infinitely better. I'd love a bigger screen (my weak link), but I've concentrated on sound and it shows...well...sounds. I know some shows are available on Netflix in 4k, but you may have minimum internet speed requirements for it to play, I swore I read something about that a while back. Wouldn't know, I don't have netflix right now. I was watching various stuff on youtube yesterday at 4k on my PC, and whenever I get a 4K TV, it will have an alternate input from my PC. What I was watching is beautiful on my 23" computer monitor... I know not all that much content is available in 4k now, but I'd use it more for 4k bluray and PC gaming (and as a 2nd/3rd monitor) One downside for when you go 4k - if you have an older receiver, it may not have 4k capabilities or only output 24/30Hz w/ 24bit color - mine does not do anything over 1080p (HDMI 1.3a) - so you'd need a new one for that too, if you want to use it for feeding multiple HDMI inputs to a single HDMI out to the TV at 4k. Make sure you research what version of HDMI the receiver has (or if it can be upgraded) - ideally you want HDMI 2.0 (+).

Full 7.2 surround is hooked to my PC, xbox, and bluray, with a second 5.1 system hooked up to the TV and another dvd player in the same room, allowing me to use both the PC and have a movie or TV on at the same time. Went with Definitive Technology speakers on the primary setup, a mix of their studiomonitors, bipolar speakers, center, and supercube sub. With 7x 10" in the primary system, you get a nice back massage while watching a movie or music. There are times I realize i never heard some of the details of music on my old lesser systems. Love my DefTech speakers. I need (ok, want) an OLED or quantum dot to upgrade my current LCD tv

I have a set of high-resolution, properly-lit photos I edited into a single file per gun. Each gun has at least a photo of the left and right sides, and top and/or bottom depending on location of serial number or other identifying marks. All markings, and especially serial numbers, are clearly legible in these photos. Copies are saved in multiple locations, including my phone. My main reason for this is if any of them were lost/stolen, I have a record of the make, model, caliber, and any unique marks quickly and easily available.

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/if-person-has-pistol-and-attachable-shoulder-stock-does-constitute-possession-nfa If a person has a pistol and an attachable shoulder stock, does this constitute possession of an NFA firearm? Yes, unless the barrel of the pistol is at least 16 inches in length (and the overall length of the firearm with stock attached is at least 26 inches). However, certain stocked handguns, such as original semiautomatic Mauser “Broomhandles” and Lugers, have been removed from the purview of the NFA as collectors’ items. [26 U.S.C. 5845, 27 CFR 479.11] I'd do some further research but I remember reading about that when looking up AOW laws

Aren't those marked AUG, however? While you know it's a USR internally, I'd think something on the gun marked AUG - even if not an original part - might not fly. (I don't know if there are 3rd party, unmarked stocks) I want one of these things - I've always loved AUGs and I'm still disappointed I can't have the real deal in NJ...

For many years, I've loved the look of the LR-300. One of the unique things about it seems to be the grip - if it's not a model-specific grip, I've never found it in my searches. Occasionally, a full LR300 comes up for sale, (like the $10k one on GB right now) but I'd never get one in NJ - defeats the purpose entirely (it's a side-folder piston AR type) even if I could spend the usual going price. In the meantime, I'd love to have an LR300 style grip on mine. I'm guessing it's an exercise in futility, but I'm thinking you guys might know somewhere I haven't looked. ZM is, as far as I know, no longer in business, so that's kinda a dead end. I am looking for this style: I'm thinking I'll have to make a cast of my airsoft version and try to figure out how to mold it around an A2 grip or something if I don't find one. They are strangely comfortable.

There are apps pre-installed on phones as part of deals that the carrier makes, and they are hard or impossible to remove without rooting the phone, at least in my experience. There are some apps, like yellowpages or uber, that came on my last 2 phones, and there is no option to totally remove them, only revert it or disable them. Thanks for wasting my phone space, AT&T (so I go buy the 128GB model next time instead of the basic model, I guess). With at least android 6+, if you go into SETTINGS > APPLICATION MANAGER > [whatever app] - there are controls for what that app can do, like PERMISSIONS for the facebook app has access to calendar, camera, contacts, location, microphone, phone, sms, and storage. I have mine all disallowed except for storage. The NOTIFICATIONS tab has the ability to disable toolbar notifications. Those are useful features if an app does annoying shit that can make them less annoying. I never got around to rooting my phone like I said I would after my warranty was up. That would allow way more control over everything, though probably more of a hassle than most want to deal with.

To be fair, no one should ever be stupid enough to post all the REAL details of their misdeeds life on a publicly-searchable place. It's pretty easy to mislead. "Today, I went to the library and took out a few good books and a movie. I then ran a few errands, picking up needed supplies from ShopRite and Home Depot. And I bought a single six-pack of beer, I figured that would last me all week." Sounds a lot better than when the wifey reading about those 5 trips to the strip joint, the 6 cases of beer and 3 or 4 full bottles of whiskey, 5 pounds of bacon for breakfast, and half dozen pizzas and 37 cheeseburgers for lunch and dinner, and needing an emergency cleaning service for all the damage to the living room rug from the motorcycle. At least, that's my take on it.

I run Olight lights on my AR and shotgun. The lights have held up to plenty of .223, as well as plenty of 12ga - from light target loads through 3 1/2" magnums. My light mounts have fared worse than the lights themselves. I need to replace those mounts I have one of these days... I've also EDC'd multiple different Olights over the years and I have been extremely happy with all of them. I believe I have two M21, an M20, T20, M10, S10, and I3. I've also given out a few other Olights as gifts and they are all still working well. Look into an M20/21/22/23 (especially the warrior models), should be plenty powerful enough and still be within your price range. Some may have mounting kits included - but not all do. Other option is a Streamlight TLR-1 - I've got a TLR-1S and again am happy with it, though I only recently got this one.

I have a Gen1 4x ATN (I believe) that I got for airsoft. If I could use it to 150 feet, I'd be surprised. It has a built-in IR illuminator, and I added another 3W or 5W LED IR light which helps the range a bit... Resolution is pretty poor, outdoors with a lot of branches in the way is fairly problematic (foreground branches are super illuminated because of the IR lights, while anything beyond a few feet is still dark, and unless there's a lot of ambient light (moon), you HAVE to use the IR illuminator), but in wider open areas it works well enough within its limitations. It works quite well in dark warehouses. Mine has a cap with a tiny aperture that you can use in bright areas to filter out bright lights that could damage the tube - but it is also useful for navigating closeup with the IR on - it "changes" the minimum focus distance and allows you to navigate inside a house, for example. I refuse to use a Gen2 or better device because it will spoil the one I have for me. I did not have high expectations for a Gen1 scope. My scope does exceed *my* expectations for my uses, but I also do not have delusions that it is anything special at all. For any serious work at all, unless conditions are PERFECT (like some moonlight) - a Gen1 is worthless. I'd look at a Gen2+ or better if I were doing anything serious and it weren't just a toy for me. I don't know if you know anyone who has one, take a look through theirs and see what it is like. I'd try a Gen2, Gen3, digital?, and/or thermal and get a feel for the differences... BTW, I saw someone came out with a micro thermal for pretty cheap, it seemed like an interesting way to get you in the ballpark if mounted with another, better scope. Found it.... http://tplogic.com/thermal-solutions/t12/

I was curious and looked up how these OBDII insurance snapshot devices work. It is claimed that they don't track speed, but hard accelerations and decelerations. Apparently any deceleration of 7mph/sec is considered unsafe. Not sure there's anywhere in NJ you can go without some jackass cutting you off on at least a daily basis... It also logs time of day, and nighttime is another unsafe time. My rates would skyrocket beyond the already way too high rates I pay... https://blog.joemanna.com/progressive-snapshot-review/ I hope these things are never mandatory. I'd have to go find a 95 or older car just as a fuck you if that were the case.

He's doing that wrong. You're supposed to throw it OVER the wall into the next range.

Even if it didn't say it virtually eliminates (or should I say, vertualy elemenates) flash, I don't know I would trust anything from a company where there are so many blatant errors in their own product listing...what's that say about their QC if they can't be bothered to proofread their own web page for errors? But it does add a Competitive appearance and tremendous tactical advantage!

Few nights ago I was on 206 where 2 lanes had just merged into one. I was behind someone in the fast lane, and some dumbass comes up from behind me on the shoulder and tried to merge ahead of me, despite it already being a single lane. When I didn't let them, they tried to for a few more seconds before getting behind me and resorting to tailgating, brights, and holding down the horn. Now, knowing this section of 206, I know cops often sit at the bottom of the hill...guess who was too distracted by tailgating, holding his brights, and honking and failed to see the cop... Lets just say my new friend's night didn't get any better...

It makes the shitty-looking parts of the gun look more like that of an MP5. A lot fewer random lines and bumps all over the gun that had to be added after the lawsuit. I think the parts kit is from their pre-lawsuit run. Edit: From what I remember when I did my conversion...cosmetic changes are: Trigger group housing Cocking tube/front sight Cocking handle Fire selector switch I forget if the paddle mag release was already part of the original GSG Kit I got had parts for the MP5K variant too - obviously they won't fit this gun. It was a bit of work to get it all installed, but the looks are so much better than mine was from the factory. And if I didn't mention it before, get a buffer of some kind for the cocking tube - easy to do when you're already disassembling it anyway (though some may not even require disassembly to install). http://malice4you.com/images/realsteel/gsg522sd.jpg - full-res version http://media.server.theshootingwarehouse.com/hires/62306.png - quick image I found to compare.

I am a fan of the TLR-1s I have. I like how wide the beam is while still giving a good central spot. As for best money (is no object) can buy, no idea there. And wash from that TLR1 is more than bright enough to at least light up a room enough to ID someone while muzzle is nowhere near aimed at them, for me anyway. Might be different if you dont have a lot of light colored surfaces though.

Pretty sure the s2k has come in at least sig, glock, beretta, and s&w mag variants and 9mm and .40 for most of those, so you'd need to supply some more info. Assuming you are talking Glock 17 mags, glock now makes 15rd factory mags, or i believe there are pinned mags by midwest px or pk90?.

If it says AUG on it, pretty sure it is banned by name. Sucks, cause I want an AUG, but don't really want a clone or that sporterized one they released...

Wait, you're telling me that isn't good? My range neighbors always seem so impressed I can keep my targets clean (and reusable!) while showing off my accuracy on their targets. I'm told like all the time that I must be a sniper or mall ninja (don't get what a ninja has to do with guns, dumbasses don't know ninjas use swords?), but I'm always glad to show off my skills.

I have never been a fan of the pictures I see of stippling or the few examples I have seen in person. It always looks like someone took a soldering iron and haphazardly stabbed away at the grips and gave up caring how anything looks. Sort of like how hot glue always has that little 'tail' when you move the gun away, and you end up with a mess of hair-thin strands between the ugly blobs. These stippling jobs however...I am impressed. These are the first jobs I have seen that would make me consider having it done on one of my own guns. I am really digging the straight stippling on that 19. If I had a gen2 or 3 Glock I might consider it even more... Nice work guys!

Nikon Prostaff Rimfire scopes are decent to good scopes for their price. I don't usually like the 3-9x40 scopes (simply because I prefer higher magnification), but I've been very happy with my 4-12x40 rimfire Prostaff. The scopes aren't to the same level as mid-level Nikons I have on other rifles, but at around $100-200, I'm very happy with the cheap Nikons I have. I'll be buying other Nikons for some of my other rimfires in the future. I think you'll be very happy with the Nikon, especially if you're coming from one of those $30 4x scopes.

"14. Allowing greater use of NICS by FFLs" While I'm hoping that means something like longer NICS hours (I dunno, are they already 24h?), that sounds to me like it could be more like allowing NY safe act for buying ammo. How much more NICS use do FFLs need?

I've got a Savage 10FCP-K in .223. When I was doing my research early-on in my shooting career, I didn't plan to do any real modifications, it was rated very highly for out of the box accuracy, and it certainly is an accurate rifle out of the box. In that respect, I'm very happy with the purchase. I've recently been thinking about doing upgrades to the rifle, but there's not a lot out there when compared to a 700, at least that I've found. If you want a lot of options for upgrades, the Savage is probably not really the rifle to start with. If you want something good out of the box that you'll keep as-is, a Savage may be a great choice. I also wish I'd just gone with a .308 for futureproofing instead of only really thinking of ammo costs. Whatever you do get, don't skimp on glass. I'm not claiming to have super high end glass on my rifles, most of mine have mid-level Nikon glass, but it would be a shame to see an otherwise good rifle hampered by poor glass.
