Silent Service

I watched one of the youtube videos, the following was a comment made by another viewer and is in line with what Hinchman told me about his FNAR. Key point is that gun does not need to be stripped down to the bolt very often. Quoted from youtube - I have been delaying tearing down my FNAR because of all the bla bla on the interrnet. Today I took it down while watching your video. It was EASY !!!!! Thanks for taking the time to do this video!!! Don't let this break down keep you away from the FNAR. The action does not have to be cleaned very ofter, it's a piston driven gun. An AR is a DI gun, meaning the action should be cleaned often.

I asked the same question awhile back, another NJGF member has one and highly recomends it. He gave me a detailed rundown on its operation. I will be buying one.

+1 for the link

I agree with everything said here except "They know the law and I really do not think they would ask unless they have PC". They all don't know the law, some abuse it and some think they are above it. I know this from experience. When I was 21, my friend and I were pulled over by (2) cops who said I was doing 15 over (Not, I was doing 5 over) and ordered to exit the truck after I produced all my documents (which were valid). They proceeded to search my truck. As they were digging around, I pulled out my PBA card and gave it to the JO on my side. He was surprised and said " Why did'nt you give that to me with your license", I told him I did'nt think I needed it until they started digging through my stuff. As I was talking to him I noticed a little baggy with a red stripe on it sticking out of his pocket (It was either a dime or nickel bag), he noticed I saw it and he quickly shoved it back in his pocket. THANK GOD FOR THAT PBA CARD! These two pri cks would have ruined my life. Oh, and they were later busted for planting evidence. They will ask to search you and your vehicle, if you say yes, you just gave up your right. I would say no and ask if I was free to go. I love the question, "Where are you going?". Never say "None of your business" or "Yo, I'm going to hook up with little Mo, get some ho's, some smack and a 45". I say something like "To the auto parts store (or mechanic) to get a bulb for one of my lights that I was having trouble with this morning, gee officer is that what you pulled me over for?" Keep your weapons, ammo, range gear etc out of sight. That will help you avoid those rascally questions. Btw, I know those two POS that tried planting that stuff on me are an exception.

"So, how does that make you feel" $185 dollars please.

It's all good John, thanks. We don't have cable or sat so we don't get the current show. I'll have to see if the old episodes are on netflix. Thanks for laying it out there on the line for us bro. Let me know when you want to take a cruise down to range 14 and I'll pay for your range time. You saying I'm long winded? haha, wouldn't be the first time I heard that. I'll take it as a compliment. I got an old 7.3 Ford that fits the bill. I don't think you would have to push start your truck after emp as it does'nt affect batteries or starter motors (As I understand it). I do have concern about my backup portable generator though. Any idea if that would be affected? Would it matter what position the brushes were in a time of a pulse? I plan on building a wood gasifier this spring (I hope Israel doesn't nuke Iran before then), so I'll be looking for an old 60's or 70's p/u to run off of it. I agree with being prepared and not just for emp, although part of any preparation should take that into account.

Where am I ordering it from? Saiga and steel cased ammo, that is.

Sorry you understood it that way, I didn't mean it to be caustic, just a friendly challenge. I was just trying to point out how difficult that would be to accomplish in such a situation, especially in NJ. I think these doomsday shows can impart wrong or misleading information and ideas on people that will get them in more trouble. I was just trying to make you, or whoever reads this, think about what they have watched so they can have a real plan. I assume, (after your reply), your former military so no need to listen to me then. I try to educate my friends, neighbors and family about self reliancy and disaster preparedness. Why? Because I care about them and I don't want to work my balls off helping them do sh it they should've done sooner (Think Irene). I always want to learn more about basically everything so I'm open to suggestions. OK, new dare. I'll pay your range fees for the day if you let me shoot the m249. After you trek 20 miles with a 60 lb pack of course. I'll carry the gun in my truck though because I don't have enough to bail you outta jail. I seriously hope you don't take this the wrong way.

Thanks for the history lesson guys, I really enjoyed this thread.

I was told by two different gun shops and a gentleman on this forum that you just crimp the inner (brass)magazine tube to hold 15 or less. I would do 14, just because of the obvious mental deficiencies of the lawmakers of this state. I was concerned about the outter magazine, but since the gun can't cycle without the inner mag in place it's ok. Maybe a block with a crimp in the tube is the best solution.

Welcome Mike and you'll find alot of good advice here, these guys have really helped me alot. Can you post your most convoluted or brainless Minnesota Gun law that your aware of? We've got some doosies here.

Welcome Brian and thanks to you AND your wife for your service. Fair warning, South Jersey is in the "Alabama Zone", according to this official NJ map. Not to worry though, the people there are, uh, just a little different.

Insanely reliable does it for me. Does it make sense to reload the 7.62x38?

"A bicycle for each family member, each carrying a bag." I dare you to try this some weekend (better yet try it during rush hour) and post a report. Seriously, because if you can get each of your family members (I'm assuming, kids, wife, parents older than 60, pets) to go more than 5 miles on bikes with heavy packs, I'll pay your range fee for a day at Range 14. I've heard this discussion before about going to a safe house out of state. Depending on the circumstances which has prompted such action (in this case a large emp that disables the vast majority of transportation), getting to a safe house thats normally 3, 4 or better yet a 5 hrs DRIVE or more from this region will be, (in my opinion) not possible. Why? If the effect is as catastrophic as imagined, that normal 3 hour drive will now take DAYS to travel. Factor in social chaos, young kids, elderly parents, handicapped individuals, pets, etc. and that becomes near impossible. Horse's would be the most viable option. I know a group of guys that has property out of the region, they have it set up for just this kind of scenario and think they are just going to drive their hummers there. That property will be great to go to if there is adequate warning, (prior to the general population being informed), but after such an event as emp, these guys have only made a nice haven for the locals who know what they have put in place. I can see the warning sign at the driveway entrance now, " Thanks for prepping for us, now keep out Damn Yankees or be shot"

Thanks guys, I'm gonna start a new thread on this subject at some point. Hope to see your comments.

Thanks Vlad Sweet hardware. Hope to see your post about the new ar's performance. One more off topic question, (sorry wtf). Looks like I'm gonna need a AK. So whats it gonna be Vlad AK47 or AKM or AK74 ? Why? Ok that was (2) Questions. Thanks

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator ( I’m SURE that’s redundant) was tragically hit by a car and died. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. Welcome to heaven," says St.. Peter. "Before you settle in, there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." 　 "No problem, just let me in," says the Senator. "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity." "Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator. "I'm sorry, but we have our rules." 　 And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven..." So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. "Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity." The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before. I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell." 　 So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell... 　 Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.　 He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls to the ground. 　 The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders. "I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" 　 The devil smiles at him and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning, Today, you voted!! " Vote wisely on November 2, 2012　       Walt Lang Sr.

Yeah, I think that plane did or does fly with tubes. HAHA, scary, but just hit her on the side like an old tv and your good to go! I think some 50 ish cars had tubes in the dash too. The car radios would have had them right? I don't know exactly what the expected fail rate is for vehicles during that type of event, but it definitely would not be 100%. I have heard discussions debunking the effect, I have heard discussions stating undeniably that the systems would be toasted, I have heard arguments that if the radio is off there will be no damage, and if the radio is on they're toast. The guys discussing said situation are electrical engineers. Who's right? Hope we never find out. Check this out, the Russian produced, club K missle system. I wonder if it's Jersey legal? This is a report done by a news station in Atlanta. There used to be a video link within the article where the reporter interviewed a port official who had no clue that this system existed. It has, apparently, been removed from this article. www.wsbtv.com/news/news/new-hidden-missile-system-unknown-to-feds/nFDfM/ This is the manufacturers video. Check out some of the comments at the end of the vid.

What model 308 are you shooting those holes with and what scope? If you could only have (1) reliable low maintenence AR what would it be and how setup? And under 2K. Thanks

I don't think all electronically controlled vehicle would be disabled. My understanding is that a pulse may disable some vehicles temporarily, but you would be able to restart some of them. I know there was a show where a guy drove a car beneath a epm generator and it was disabled, but I'm pretty sure he restarted it and it was fine. I guess if you were to be truly prepared for such an event, you would buy two (or more) electronic control modules, leave them in their cardboard shipping box and put them in a true metalized bag (faraday cage), and put them in your BOB. I kinda think a '66 Chevelle would be a sweet bug out ride. EMP attacks are a real potential and should be taken seriously, as I will illustrate as follows. The day after the crazy N. Korea dictator died, a "friend" I know was contacted by some chaps in S. Korea asking for specialists in EMP proofing some important electronic data centers. I think SK should've thought about that sooner no?

The VFW on 571? They could provide the food too right? If it rains, we got cover.

OK guys North of Dallas it is then! Address HD? Please?

HERO! THAT'S BS! Bring back the chain gangs and make these pieces of garbage pickup garbage along the streets in the town where they lived. We need the state to institute Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio's rules. Whoever prints up targets should make one of this scum and donate the profit to the officers family. Forget the death penalty, that SOB should be made to work like the animal he is. What was that movie where the cop said to the prisoner (Steve Mcqueen?) "Dig me a hole boy", and then after the prisioner was done digging the hole the cop say "What are you doing digging a hole here, fill that in", repeated. That's what this sack of shii t should be doing. R.I.P Officer Matlosz

The only thing, and I'm reaching, is that they were trying to flush the guy they were after out of his apartment.

Seriously, why did the fbi use a chainsaw? All she would've had to do is throw a blanket on the blade.The D.A. fbi agent wood (pun intended) have had the saw stuck in the door. A chainsaw? I just don't get it.
