Screwball

Depends on the vehicle... something with a turbo/supercharger, if it says Premium, put in Premium. Even if it just recommences Premium, best to look in the manual and see what the manufacturer says a lower grade will result in. Most will say something along the lines of reduced engine performance/mileage. And to add, it might be worth it to get Plus over Regular... especially if you are going to swap it out for lawnmowers other small engines. Plus doesn’t have Ethanol, so keeps the valves cleaner.

My girlfriend is like that with her daughter. Granted, she is six... but it is one of those things that aggravates the hell out of me. She will watch the same stuff over and over and over again (YouTube). She does watch drawing videos, which I see as productive... as she likes to draw. There are skits that kids do, which I know where it is from, but she has no clue... and proceeds to watch it again and again. “Bye, Felicia,” is only funny when Ice-Cube did it... not when an eight year old white girl says it, who obviously never saw the movie. It is funny watching her walk around with the phone (my girlfriend’s old one... only works on WiFi). Could be dead, and she will act like she is important and getting calls/texts all the time. Don’t really mind that, but it does fuel how upset she gets when she is being a brat and the phone is taken away. Was a tablet before that. That is my biggest issue with it. Close second is ok for them to raise their voice when they don’t get their way, but when you react to it, you are being mean. F***ing kids... [emoji107] Just go out and get a job already. [emoji1787]

They using SIG magazines? Or is it going to be a Checkmate like learning curve?

Never had a bad experience with Brownell’s. MidwayUSA, either... well, except for them dropping their C&R discounts. And the BS with the FID being uploaded to their website... not to mention they pull it every few years and make you resubmit it. Makes you want to slap Potterfield on the side of his head. Brownells is my go-to supplier, as they do shave the prices a little bit with me having my FFL. I just picked up a SIG Romeo 5 from them, for a very decent price. Will be going on my SUB-2000... hopefully when MCARBO gets their mount out.

Cleans up the trigger, and haven’t had any issues. This includes .38s, as well as the 9mm that I converted my 642-1 over to. Used to come with an extended firing pin... don’t know if it still does (I got mine when they first came out with them). If you do it, remove the side plate correctly (tap the grip, don’t force it out). Also, I’d recommend spending the money and getting a rebound spring tool. Just makes the entire thing easier to do. You might find a gunsmith to do it locally, but being able to go into the frame, while rarely needed, is a good thing to be comfortable with.

Again... Firearms Unit or just a barracks? I don’t need to call them up and bother them. I’m not making the claims you are. You asked to see the law where it showed you are wrong... was linked and quoted. Shy of that, I posted in here so members reading wouldn’t get jammed up in the next 16 days that this even matters.

Firearms Unit or rank/file Troopers? Big difference with your answer. If the Firearms Unit says so, I’d look for clarification... because it is pretty clearly the opposite from the legislation that was signed. I’d also make sure they understood the question that was being asked (they are people, just like us). Rank/file Trooper... they aren’t the ATF. They likely get briefed more on changes in procedures than changes in firearms law. Which of those two do they use more; stuff on how to conduct a traffic stop or magazine limits? They might get a memo about it in December. But having observed one of their in-services (2009 time period), they likely aren’t going to say much more than a quick blurb on it... which might be absorbed by some Troopers. You have 2,500ish people coming in, and a very limited amount of time per day to get a lot of info out to them (when I was there, the two non-classroom blocks were changes in car stops, then practical training on active shooter response). Some things take more precedence than others. Even less will retain if they were out sick, and have to sit at the academy and watch a video of everything recorded (includes any practical training, like car stop examples). Most I spoke with were bored out of their mind by lunch... not their fault, just a crappy way to inform large groups of people. Try doing a 10-hour OSHA course with people who don’t want to learn the info... which I have first hand experience with. Sorry, but unless the officer is familiar with the subject from past experience, I wouldn’t expect them to be the end all answer on the subject. Specialized units, you see more familiarity of pertaining laws... other examples would be Marine Bureau and Transportation Safety Bureau. Wouldn’t expect to get accurate firearms information from them, but regulations on marine safety or motor vehicle law... they likely know their stuff. Even legal advice, would you expect a good answer about firearms law from someone who only handles tax law? Or probate? I also wouldn’t ask a personal injury lawyer, either.

That it is... While I’m not one who feels people will be targeted with this for X, Y, or Z... buying a magazine over 10 rounds, now, is illegal (exception being L/E). Not any question about it. Trading/selling 15 rounders among other NJ residents is illegal... unless exempted (L/E). Might be legal if you owned it on 6/12, but a transfer of ownership after 6/13 applies the 10 round limit... so illegal for the buyer to acquire one. After the 180 days, illegal all around. It is what it is... just don’t get upset with people pointing it out. Get upset with those who didn’t come out and vote last year (same can be said for this year, as well). Have I used 15 rounders since June? Yep. I was originally alluding to the argument about not being able to leave your house with them. Personally, I view a grace period as such. Any magazines I own, that will be illegal in December (10th, if I remember correctly), will be out of NJ by that date. They will be picked up in August, when I make the last trip out of NJ for Maine. Then, I’ll probably toss the 15 round CZ and PX4 magazines on AR15.com (latter are plated, so will lose money on them), and put the money towards magazines those guns were meant to be used with. Now, if someone is going to Delaware or Pennsylvania, buying 15 rounders, and bringing them back... that is completely on them. But thinking it is legal because of misrepresentation on the forum is a little bit of a d***ed move. And if they are aware they are illegal, someone posted it a time or two since the law was signed... why stop at 15 if the charges are the same at 15+?

https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2018/Bills/A3000/2761_I1.PDF “The bill makes its provisions effective immediately, but allows for a 180-day grace period to transfer, render inoperable, or voluntarily surrender a semi-automatic rifle or magazine that will be unlawful under the bill.” Was signed on 6/13...

Then go read all of those discussions on here... and lecture them on it.

So, NJ FFLs stopped selling 10+ rounders some time ago for s***s and giggles? The law has applied to newly acquired magazines since it came into effect. Previously owned magazines are still within the December grace period. People argue the ability to possess those magazines, and intent... which is different than buying new ones. Personally, I’d probably not advertise that I bought “high capacity” magazines over the internet. These responses were back in June, by the way.

If memory serves me right... believe WaWa does self-serve diesel. And going back to the original topic, after thinking about it (and reading a pretty good book on suppressors), I’m scratching the P938 suppressor/barrel. Really is useless, with a gun I’d likely carry more up in Maine. Switching that one out of the list for another Griffin... the Checkmate. That way, all one suppressor company, and gives me a dedicated rimfire suppressor (monocore design instead of individual baffles). There is a Class 3 SOT within 15 miles of Houlton, just from a quick look... so shouldn’t be too big of a deal to get it. If that is the case, I’m going to have to unpin my .22 upper, and likely going to swap a threaded barrel into my CZ Kadet kit. Probably going to unpin my piston 5.56mm upper, my WASR, and either my Tavor or get a new barrel and sell the pinned 16”. Last thing is my Kel-Tec SUB-2000... figured for as good as it is now (all internals are MCARBO, and have a ROMEO 5 on the way... for whenever they release their new mount), might as well suppress it. And I’ll likely get a 9mm threaded barrel for my SP-01, so I can suppress that, as well. Only question I’m at now is if I want to do a M1A1 Carbine... because even though I’d like it because I can’t have one here, it is still money to spend, even if a reproduction (Fulton).

Yea, some muzzle devices will give a big [emoji867] to the guys on your right and left. If you see one that has huge ports, like something that would be on a tank/artillery gun... it likely is going to make some noise. Good thing with a bolt action... if you hate it, can easily swap it (judging you aren’t using it to get to 16”). Bipods, I used to think they weren’t needed, until I started investing into my Remington. $1,000+ scope... do you really want to lay it on the bench/ground? Plus, you can still use them on bags... folder or deployed. A lot of benefit, and only real issue is cost. Good book on that stuff is the Long Range Shooting Handbook. Gives a lot of background on shooting, written by a former Army Ranger sniper. A good chunk of the costs for the book is donated to military charities, so it is a decent purchase.

That’s fine. There is no standard of “most influential,” so your view just lines up with his. Myself, and it seems Maksim, disagree. Can’t fault us for seeing things different from you or that author. Sorry, but you can’t argue to be right with an opinion based statement.

I read it... and it is very easy to argue. The list is opinion. I personally believe that something along the lines of the P320 is way more influential that one or two of those pistols. It isn’t the first modular pistol... but likely going to be a standard from here forward. Sorry, but just because someone takes the time to write their opinion that X pistols are the “best” or “most influential” does not make it so. Maksim’s opinion is probably just as “right” as the author’s.

I don’t think there were that many... probably like other surplus rifles, snipers are what people commonly fake. I’m not that familiar with them, but I doubt you are making too much more money off with faking an Enfield... exception being snipers. Maybe gain a little to turn an Indian into something else... but why for that little return? Not going to have the fakes like with German Mausers.

I do it plenty of times here... station we use for work, the guys appreciate it (don’t think they know the law, as English isn’t their first language). BJ’s (have their membership/credit card, so easier that having to wait for an employee to scan his ID)... some appreciate the help, but had one guy get loud with me over it. Sorry, but when two people are working eight pumps each... I’m not sitting for five minutes just for him to make his way over. He is being paid to sit out there, not me. Told him if his boss says something, explain to them that if they don’t want me doing it... hire more people. He starting quoting me the law (reading the sticker on the side of the pump). [emoji1787] Ok, have me arrested. He called his supervisor over the radio... and he told him something to the affect of “really?” But seems they moved that guy into the store, since he also got in a few shouting matches with coworkers and at least one other customer. WaWa, I did the same... especially after the one I used had a girl cover the side of my car with gas. She didn’t say anything... and the manager pretty much said “tough” when I complained. Just wanted access to a hose/bucket of water to wash it off the paint.

I have the first book, as the 2A1 is really just a .308 No1 MkIII, and it has some good info in it. Mauser info, a lot is available online (Gunboards is good). Being I have a Yugo M48A, I’m happy I found the Bogdanovic book for the actual cost ($20ish). That book is well over $100... if you can find it. But it does have A LOT of info on Serbian and Yugo rifles... even some of the Mannlicher ones (touches on the Yugo SKS, but those are better documented in Kehaya’s book on the SKS).

I like the history of the .303s... but the caliber is just something I’m not interested in. It’s why my Enfield is a 2A1. [emoji6]

Check the next Oaks show... I got a half case for $20 a box. Even dealer pricing on Graf’s is $22.65 per box ($21.99 cash price).

However... AR pistols don’t tend to be legal here. I think it is useless... unless someone decided to put a long enough brace on it. Would make a sort of a non-stamp SBR. I’m sure a company is looking into it already. The ATF went back and forth too many times on the brace issue that it is likely here to stay. Only thing I could see is a state (wouldn’t shock me) trying to pass legislation for shouldering one equates to redesigning it as a stock. Personally, I really hope that this is the avenue to show how useless the NFA is... hopefully leading to it being dissolved.

I may see about unpinning the barrel nut on my WASR... but really isn’t too big of a deal. Gun shoots fine, but the only other reason I’d do it would be to suppress. However, from what I looked into, AK barrel threading isn’t usually that good in regards to centering the bore/threads. It is for a somewhat short muzzle device, so accuracy wasn’t a huge priority. If I get the nut off, hoping the chrome lined US barrel that it was built with is good to go. Gets expensive... especially the full auto part. If you go to the next Oaks show, look at some of the price tags on transferable Thompsons or M16s. Could buy a car with that. I liked the idea of an H&K auto sear, but again... $25,000+ later. Binary stuff will be good enough to scratch that itch for me. [emoji6] But if I win the lottery, a complete 1921 Thompson likely will be on the list. Ask me if I was moving five years ago... would have said no. Withdrawing from the NJSP hiring process was likely the best thing I could have done... knowing now that this moron is governor, with his pedophile US Senate buddies. Would have sucked to be stuck here for 25+ years. My parents were staying for my grandfather, who passed away earlier this year. They are now staying until my mom retires (two or three years). Was talking to my brother-in-law yesterday, and they are moving out, as well. State isn’t what it was, and it is hard to survive here. Shy of the truck I’m putting my first bonus check down on, shooting is going to be my main hobby up there. Need to figure out what I’m doing for housing, but I’m going to put a chunk of my pay from FLETC down on either land or house.

Not if Grewal has his way...

Got some .45... UMC and WWB is too dirty anymore.

Being there has been a few members leave NJ, some planning on it (myself included), and other who may in due time... figured a decent thread would be what people would buy (or have bought) when 2C:39 doesn’t apply to them anymore. Just want to see what people are interested in... without the NJ legal BS to follow. Personally, I made a list of stuff I wanted to do to my current guns. Some of which can be done while I’m in NJ (refinishing pistols or TAC-14, for example), but others will be after I move (bayonet lug/flash hider for my M1A, 20 rounders for my .45 AR, etc). My Fostech Echo lower sitting in PA is definitely another build that will be post NJ. Only one I’m up in the air on is getting a new 16” Tavor barrel, so I have the threads back. Have to look into having some guns unpinned... because my SUB-2000 would be something more fun with a threaded barrel. I also made a list of guns that I wanted to buy. Some were broad types, mostly C&R guns, but a Fulton M1A1 Carbine and S&W M&P10 are on the list. Those are mostly “I’ll eventually pick up.” Nothing too big... CZ-52, Makarov, FN-1900, a revolver or two. Would love a Lugerman .45 Luger... but that is like a $7,000 purchase. TAC-13 is on there... depending on how it rolls out. The big item that I’m actually going to be excited for is the PTR 9CT. I was between it, the SIG MPX, and the CZ Scorpion. SIG will have some faults that will show up in my other investment (see below), and for as much as I like the CZ... I think an MP5 clone will be a better buy. Yes, I watch Die Hard around Christmas each year. I have my GSG-5... which is nice, but I want 9mm. [emoji41] So, I am sort of up in the air on whether or not I’ll SBR it. Want to, as makes things easier in regards to stocks/vertical grips (stock I’d do, vertical grip... eh), but the braces I’ve seen being equipped on the 9CT actually look pretty practical... and less headache to deal with if I travel with the pistol. And while the H&K collapsible stock looks cool... it doesn’t look that fun to shoot up in cold Maine. I’m also looking at the Franklin Armory binary trigger for it, as it is pretty cool... and you can get it setup in a trigger housing directly from HKParts. The selector is identical in function to the one on a full auto MP5. Hell of a lot cheaper than an actual machine gun or transferable sear (which the latter would allow me to just put a stock on the 9CT without a SBR stamp... or at least how I read into it). It might not be full auto, but NJ considers it a machine gun. [emoji16] But the other big thing I’m going into up there are suppressors. Did a little research, and have three specific ones I’m likely going to be looking towards. The DeGroat NANO is just a tiny can, which I’m looking to toss on my P938. Sort of a just because purchase... as I don’t think I’ll have any other gun that I’d want to put such a small can on. The other two are from Griffin; the Optimus and Revolution 45 MOD3. The Optimus is a .308 can, but can be reconfigured to shoot 5.56mm or 9mm (different caps). The Revolution is just a wider version, but more of a pistol caliber only can. Supposedly, the Revolution can run limited numbers of certain rifle ammo through it... but likely not going that route. Both use the same adapters, so could run either on the 9CT in either configuration (3 lug or direct thread) with either suppressor. Obviously, the Optimus will be more of my rifle suppressor... but doubt I’ll put it on the M&P10 (whenever I get it... if I do). Hear a lot of issue with reliability running suppressors... so I’ll likely get my Remington Model 7 threaded. But will be able to go on that PTR. The Revolution is more likely going to be running on .45s... namely my D/I .45 AR and Glock 30S. Might be on Ramon noodles after I do all that, but definitely purchases I want to make.
