I don't recall which brand of the Korean Glock mags I got but they did not drop free with my Gen4 Glock 22. I had to press the mag release button and pull them out. I believe they work with earlier generation Glocks so I would check first if you have a Gen4.

Congratulations, BLF! Now you'll have less time to take your toys out but thanks for letting me try the KSG, Saiga and the antique double barrel at the range last time.

Also interested in a few.

I'm in for a few. Personally don't think black or FDE will matter much but I think a pink one would be cool and charging a bit more to donate to breast cancer research would be for a good cause. You may start a new trend with this.

Nice pictures! You gotta love the ones with multiple shells flying out of the shotty.

On the MOE guard, I think the allen key supplied is the wrong size. I thought I stripped the inside of the screw when installing it as the allen key was starting to slip while tightening the screw. I was not happy with the install as a tiny bit of the screw was still sticking out (fractions of a mm). I was annoyed with it and decided to remove it. There was just enough threading for me to remove the screw. I replaced it with a Troy one. I was building a lower for my brother in law and decided to give him the MOE guard as it is still better than the ones that come in most LPKs. I just used an allen key from my tool bin and was able to screw it in all the way without any issues.

Crappy A2 pistol grip is usually included in a LPK. Parts to attach the stock is usually not included. For a carbine setup, you would need the castle nut and the latch plate in addition to the buffer, buffer tube, spring and stock. For rifle setup, you just need the A2 buffer, buffer tube, spring and stock.

Darn, I don't have a wheel gun but I was really looking forward to seeing the wheel guns go. I think I'm getting one with one of my next permits.

Forgot to mention that BCM has parts that you can build your own upper. Parts just became available today. I was able to get everything I need except the BCG. I'm hoping they will have some of those soon so I can complete the build.

Geez, had me scared. It looks like it is only temporary which is probably a good thing to do. You don't want to earn a bad rep like some other companies. (cough, cough, PSA, cough).

If you are feeling adventurous, BCM has stripped uppers, barrels and other stuff in stock. They may be one of the few places that has stripped uppers available. The blemished ones seem to be a decent deal.

Wow, that was fast. Hopefully, someone got in on it. I figure they would've been sold out before I make it home so I figure I would share while walking to Port Authority.

NJ ready 14.5 with dynacomp http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XSTU5050MLSDC&name=Spikes%20Tactical%2014.5 16 inch http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XSTU5035MOE&name=Spikes%20Tactical%2016 Get it while you can.

Check out this thread. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13732-nj-fid-application-data-collection-effort/ Just based on the responses for Manchester, 1 person was able to get it in 24 days. The other person took a while due to some issues with paperwork.

Just don't send the arrows into your neighbors yard. I believe there was someone who got in trouble for hitting their neighbor's pool with an arrow. I've seen some areas setup for archery practice. There is one in Clinton and there is another one near Shongum Sportsman Association. The Clinton one will require a hunting license. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/ranges.htm I'm not sure what the rules are for the one near Shongum as it always seem empty.

It really depends. I submitted my paperwork on Thursday and it was done today. I was told by the same FFL that they had other people submitted before me that he is still waiting on the approval for. I guess I was lucky.

Stopped by Cabelas this morning as they were opening up. There was a line of people waiting to get in and it looked like everyone ran to the gun counter as soon as the doors opened. They had a few Ruger piston ARs (1700) that sold almost immediately. There was a DPMS (about 1100) and a POF (2000+) that was left. There was a used eagle arms AR and an Armalite AR-10. I wanted to inspect the eagle arms AR before my brother in law (PA resident) purchased it. It did not look like it was assembled well as there were some punch marks near the pins holding the trigger group. The takedown pins were also silver and looked like they were ground down with a dremel. I asked the cabelas employee if they can open it so I could inspect it. They could not open it as it had an issue getting the rear takedown pin out. They were finally able to do so but it looked like there were a bunch of issues. They were going to take it to a gunsmith to work on and would not sell it to us even if I could fix it. Regardless, I picked up some reloading manuals pretty cheap. I think I should've picked up some reloading equipment but left the store before more snow fell. It would be nice to know what the discount on each item was in advance as I probably would have bought more stuff.

I would say whatever is comfortable for you. Try putting it in different lengths and test it. Also take into consideration if you will be wearing heavy clothes (jacket) or light clothes (t-shirt) when shooting as this will impact the settings. You can always set it to the same length as you A2 stock. Then adjust the length longer and shorter to see what you like. I was told most people pin it at 2 but I think position 3 or 4 was more comfortable for me. I'm 5'10" but not sure if that matters as much.

How far were you shooting? What were your groupings like? What's the twist rate of your barrel? Everything was very dirty afterwards. I spent quite some time cleaning today.

I finally got to test mine out yesterday. I did test this on a rifle I just completed. We completed sighting it out for 100 yds using PMC 223. Once we got solid groupings, we switched out to the conversion kit and tested it out at 25 yds. I'm using the Federal bulk stuff. I can't recall any specific failures although I recall having some feeding some rounds in and perhaps a double although that was probably induced by me. Not a big deal to clear. What concerned me more than there was no grouping at 25 yds. After 60 rounds, I switched back to 223 afterwards to ensure the gas tube was clear. I am a disappointed with the accuracy though. I think it may have something to do with the 1:7 twist of my barrel which is more suited to heavier stuff. Did anyone get good results from this and what twist rate are you guys using?

Another negative for the Five-Seven is most ranges do not allow you to shoot it. It was on the short list of my first 3 pistols but most ranges I go to do not allow the 5.7 round which is a major drawback. I've got the PPQ in 9mm and absolutely love it. 9mm is cheaper to plink with at the range than 45. I'd imagine 9mm is not quite as effective against bears.

I submitted my application for additional permits in late October. I'm patiently waiting as the items I'm looking to get are back ordered anyway. I would most likely not be able to pick up my first handgun until February with the other one I'm told will be available in April so I'm not rushing the detective. If it is issued in late January, that would work out well. I am not surprised that the detective would take vacation now seeing that most people take vacation around this time. There are probably quite a bit of people calling in response to the tragedy that happen in CT and he is getting hammered by the number of requests.

I'm in.

14. "vtecpaoche" - Dragon Can't wait to do this again next time.

Wow, 2 issues with the 686 in 1 day. Sorry, not really much help as I do not own a 686 but I was thinking of getting a 686 SSR with one of my permits but may have to re-think this.
