Oops, take that back. It's out of stock already.

For those of you still hunting for a premium LPK with FCG. Orders over 90 gets free shipping. http://www.joebobout.../sp-slpk101.htm

Is it just Pmags? I'm looking at those Troy ones at Aim Surplus. They are a bit expensive but they are in stock.

Sad to say that it will be 30 or 20 rounders. Both of which are not available for us. We would need someone to convert them to 15 rounders so that we can actually get them. Options are to send them directly to a FFL in NJ that can convert them or Ty at MidwestPX. Another option is to send them to a friend or relative in a state with no restriction and have it converted to 15 rounders.

Good point. I neglected to think of that.

FM pricing has been steadily going upward. It is 16/box for reloads. Their pricing last month was about .30/round shipped. It is currently .32/round before shipping and their shipping is not cheap. It is interesting that their new stuff is almost the same price as their reloads.

Wow, it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would have.

Chances are the NICS check was lost. If you don't plan on going thru with the sale, you probably will forfeit your NICS fee and any other transfer fee if you paid up front. If you haven't paid the NICS check and do not intend to pay it, you probably don't want to show up at the FFL anymore. I would advise at least informing the FFL that you no longer want the item so they can free it up for another buyer and making the FFL whole with the FFL fees if it was not paid already. Just keep in mind, the minute the fax went thru, the FFL paid your NICS check whether it was lost or not.

Can they pin all sorts of mags? I think Midwest only does the PMAGs. Not sure if the Troy is the same.

Sad part is there are 30 rd mags everywhere. We just can't get them.

Registered. I won't be shooting a wheelie as I don't own one that I should compete with yet. If there is room in the squad on the day, perhaps I'll stick myself in just so I can watch them go and be inspired to not waste my next permit on a semi-auto. I'd like to do the separate rifle stage as I have a brand new build that is begging to be tested.

Great guy to deal with. Good luck with your build!

Nice choice with the Spikes. You would've regretted getting anything directly from Rguns. Pinning stocks is not hard. You can pin the stock without drilling into the buffer tube if your intention is to not damage the buffer tube. I got the STR which gives you a good cheek weld. You can drive a pin to prevent the lever to adjust the stock from releasing. You would have to dremel some of the material off the corner of the friction lock but when the friction lock is engaged, you can barely see that corner or the pin. For a quality upper, BCM seems to be getting uppers in all the time. If you buy the upper from them, you can add a BCG which is even harder to get.

If you have the carbine buffer tube and you want to keep the single point sling, I would go with either one of these. http://www.noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=rec-qdep&cat=61 http://fortismfg.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=62

Looks like they are running a sale on the BlackHawk Pistol Range Bag for $12.00. Same bag is sold on Amazon for $27.65. Looks like another potential good deal here if you do a group buy to save on shipping. http://www.bulkammo.com/pistol-range-bag-blackhawk-sportster-74rb02bk

Yeah, looks like you cannot stuff it in your cart. I wanted to post this earlier but I got pulled into a meeting at work. By the time I was done, I could not tell if it was still in stock as I could not load their webpage.

If you are patient, PSA has complete BCG available. There's issues with loading their site all day though so I can't tell if it is still in stock. Price is 179.95. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/upper-parts/bolt-carrier-groups/complete/m16-bolt-carrier-group.html#arpartsfinder.com

Mainly 40, 45 and possibly 9. I have the reloading books, dies, scale and sonic cleaner. I plan on getting the Dillon 550 this summer (tax refund?). I think I'm going to go with a wet tumbler instead of the spnic cleaner. I'd like to get the powder and need to find pistol primers.

I'm interested and would like to get the necessary supplies to start reloading but have no idea which powder to get or how much to get. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks, now I need to get the permit extended so I can pick up the one I got from you. Detective that works in the department is out until Tuesday so I'll call then to find out what the permit extension process is. Crossing my fingers on this one that it is a straightforward process.

Thanks for the update JT. This info really helps the rest of us without any inside track as to what is going on. I'm glad they added more people but for reasons you stated, it will be impossible to keep the pace in the short term. Because of all the panic buying and people using their tax refund to purchase, I think it will continue to get worst. Maybe things will improve in the summer after people have spent their tax refunds or the legislatures figure they have more important issues to deal with than trying to add more nonsensical gun laws for law abiding gun owners. If I was the supervisor of NICS, I would not continue to add staff as all of this demand could suddenly disappear and I would suddenly have too many people standing idle. I would've wasted time training them only to have to let them go later (if that is even possible with the state).

I believe the approvals come back in 7 days (5 business days excluding Saturday and Sunday). FFL usually gives NICS a few extra days so they will quote 7-10 business days before they resubmit. Any longer, and it is probably lost. Mine was submitted on the 1st. Never heard back. On the 14th, FFL re-submitted. It was approved yesterday. I believe the lead time may be getting longer though. FWIW, I recall reading that NICS is getting a little under 500 NICS checks a day. They must have some hefty fax machine as you would need to load a new ream of paper every day.
