Decided to start 2nd build
From personal experience, or from my thread?

Outdoor Grills
If you really want your food to taste out of this world good, get a good charcoal grill and lump charcoal, not briquettes.

Big Box from MPX Followed Me Home Today
Okay, I'm a dumb ass. I went to the range today, and the rifle was having issues stripping the first round. Played with it for a bit, finally got it to feed, but not especially reliably. At some point I noticed the bolt was catching on the body of the BCG rather than on the face. I figured the buffer must be too long. Later on I remembered that I used the screw that came with the spacer to make the buffer tube longer. I found the proper screw that came with the stock, installed that, and now the bolt catch locks on the bolt face. Just need to get back to the range and test it out again.

I had a few spare parts lying about, and Anderson lowers were $50.00. So here is another rifle I built. It's the built up lower pictured above. The only thing I might want to do is a drop in quad rail, and if I can find a deal on an Eotech or Aimpoint and see what the fuss is about. I built this to see how inexpensively I could make it so I don't want to go crazy.

Jeep Wrangler Rental
I miss the 4.0 litre I-6. My sister wanted a Wrangler after having a (real) Cherokee for several years. I finally convinced her it was a great second car. I also asked her how she was going to fit the extra large crate for her GSD.

Finished project (for now) I would like to upgrade the scope eventually. Going to go to the range today and see what it can do.

I think it will work with either. I honestly don't remember what I've got. Picked up my uppers from Mastodon today. Giggity. Photos later tonight.

Stopping Power: Myths, Legends, and Realities
It's been said many times before, better to hit with a .22 than miss with a .44.

Trigger arrived today and I installed it in the lower. All I can say is wow, I get it now. Can't wait to try it for real.

I've got this waiting for a muzzle brake at a local shop. It looks nice, can't wait to see how it does. I also have a nickel boron bcg to go in it, also from PSA. Last but not least, I'm waiting for a Geissele SSA-E trigger to be delivered.

I've had my eye on the billet lower from Midwest PX for a while now, and finally pulled the trigger. Also ordered some accessories to go along with it. Luth AR MBA 1 Skeleton stock BCM pistol grip MPX LPK MPX rifle buffer assembly The products arrived in just a few days and were well packed. Would definitely order from them again. Waiting on a few more items to arrive to begin the build, hopefully this weekend. Stay tuned, pics to follow.

Shooting Stray Bear
Big can of wasp and hornet spray, the kind that shoots ~30 feet or so. Keep it in the car if you drive through areas of questionable safety, too.

Legality of an Adjustable stock
Apparently so, but it's about twice the price of the one from MPX.

Need Gunsmith to check out two older firearms
FSS in Whippany advertises gunsmith services. I have no experience with them other than they were very nice when I went in and talked with them.

Will Peruta v. San Diego have any bearing in New Jersey
Lots of discussion of Peruta here.

Legality of an Adjustable stock
Awesome! Thanks for the fast replies.

Legality of an Adjustable stock
Sorry if it's been asked before, but here it is. Does an adjustable-not collapsible or folding-stock need to be pinned? The length of pull and cheek piece adjust for the shooter. It would be going on an AR style semi-auto rifle. Link to stock
