Screwball

I'm sure the plumbing inspector will understand that it is only for an emergency, and will allow you to underpipe everything... Whether or not you are going to do it with a permit, it will come up if you ever sell the house.

Take a look in 2C:58.

Needs to match your license...

And ain'ters gonna ain't... [emoji41]

Word... except for which "experts" he was talking about. That was your swing and a miss. [emoji6]

Think he meant to say that sometimes, people do odd stuff on their own... like use pipe that isn't rated for pressure on a water line. There is a few neighborhoods in Toms River with blue poly water lines, which the poly is not a size that any fitting works with. Very thin walls, so I'm guessing a contractor got ahold of some underground conduit... and rigged up some water lines prior to inspections being as important. Solution for that... shove 3/4" poly through it and connect. At least it is now sleeved. [emoji106] I've seen people use gas pipe thread protectors as couplings, and wonder why they bottomed out the threads on the pipe (looser threads). When someone that doesn't know what they are doing decides they want to do something themselves, instead of hiring someone who know what they are doing... the sky is the limit.

Very true, and I have one on my 18" FDE AR. But if you are running a 14.5" or 16" with a red dot, why take the weight for a vertical grip and a bipod?

Have two boxes... $200. Comes with a Type I Carcano, in the same caliber. [emoji41]

I have the AFG2 on my AR and SUB-2000. Have the regular Magpul vertical grip on my KSG. Very happy with both. I have an unknown name one on my CX4, which has a pressure pad attached. It works. I also have a GripPod on my FDE AR. But don't recommend that unless you are looking for a bipod. Too big and heavy for just a vertical grip.

You going to stay in the home long enough the costs are worth it to you? Portable generators can go in your truck to the next home. That is probably your biggest question on one. Not likely going to be able to get one installed/permitted before Irma gets here. Going to likely need a survey, pressure test the gas line (plumbing), and then electrical inspection. If you do sell the home, something to consider if you do it without a permit... it isn't a water heater that every other house usually has. Also, that generator will run once a month to make sure it is working. You need to do maintenance on it, just like you would on a portable one.

Few different options... http://www.diproductsinc.com/Products.aspx?CAT=4803

I'm thinking it is the rings on the rail... If that is the case, probably an aluminum rail/rings. Really, if try to upgrade the rail and rings. I know it isn't the best recommendation due to cost/time, but for the long run, better accuracy with a more secure mount. And when you do remount them, blue Loctite and a torque driver. [emoji106]

I kind of side with the SPCA or Humane Society... private rescues can be a pain in the balls to deal with. My girlfriend works with horses, and was looking for a dog that would be at the barn with her. Private rescues... "a dog needs a small fenced in area for play." At that time, she was working at an all girls high school, which had a large equitation program... so a large barn and 50+ acres of fields. That is unacceptable to them. Prior to us meeting, I was trying to adopt from Puppy Love; they do things at Petsmart. My previous dog was an outside dog... hated going inside. The girl I talked to made me out to be a scumbag because I didn't force the dog to be an inside dog. I told her if the dog wants to spend time outside, she would go outside for as long as she wants. "How does the dog know what's best for her?" [emoji15] In regards to that rescue, their foster homes are very good people, but the people making decisions are very shortsighted. They turn people away that would make good owners, because they have very high standards for dog ownership. It is a sample size of one (two if you count the Maryland one with my girlfriend; she took a dog from a friend that brought him back from the Virgin Islands), but reason why I still suggest the SPCA. The adoption costs are usually cheaper, as well.

Reread that original post now... funny what a "n't" missing does to a sentence.

Didn't mean anything by it... Simple supply/demand. After Sandy, stores stocked up on them, judging for a panic if another hurricane came close. Didn't happen, so most were heavily discounted to clear space. Now, normal stock... and people going ape-s*** to prepare. Might have to spend a few dollars more to get one. In regards to Harbor Freight, they work... but if you are looking for a lasting investment, the better brands will be a better choice. During Sandy, we got a few from Tractor Supply... but were same ones from HF. They lasted a few years in commercial work, but little crap starts going. One is missing a muffler, due to braces breaking (screws loosened, and after Loctited, the brace broke at weld... and then someone tossed the muffler). HF is good for cheap tools you might use once or twice... or plan to abuse them. Gloves, tarps... great source. Only tool I picked up was an ultrasonic cleaner... and paid for the warranty, so I can just swap it when it takes a dump. I see more use with a nice portable one, which you connect with the large plug into your transfer switch... opposed to a permanent generator. More prep, including security, but if you need power somewhere when you don't want to run cords, it is a nice tool for regular life. Easier to maintain, with non-emergency uses, a portable generator is a good investment... in my eyes.

8.5kW...

An hour or two... depends a lot on the efficiency and size. Usually within an hour or so. For keeping warm, depends on a lot of variables. For instance, my girlfriend had her handyman put a heater in... and he used those steel-braided supply lines to it. Problem is it is a gas heater, and supposed to be hard piped (copper) around the vent. Changed it out a few weeks back when we started redoing the bathroom, so I shut it down along with the water. Two days later, I drained the tank when I redid the piping, and it was still noticeably hot coming out of the hose. Not the same hotness that it reached the tap on full hot, but enough that I grabbed some soap and washed my hands to get pipe dope off of them. That depends on insulation of the heater, as well as the insulation of the room it is in. My parents have a similar setup, as their generator doesn't have enough to run certain things. They can't run the stove, air conditioning, or drier at all. The water heater can run by itself to heat the water, but then turned off when the well kicks on. If that is the route you take, also make sure you have a large enough heater.

That's a great price...

You aren't going to find a good deal on a generator with a possible hurricane coming up the coast... Should have looked the year after Sandy.

There isn't a charge specifically for a flash hider... as they are perfectly legal for non-semi-auto firearms. It is an "assault weapon" charge... http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2014/04/assault_weapon_newark_airport_arrest.html http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2015/09/sheriffs_officer_arrested_for_assault_had_illegal.html https://patch.com/new-jersey/newarknj/newark-man-with-assault-rifle-arrested http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/galloway-police-nab-a-c-man-with-assault-rifle-heroin/article_77dd3f31-8ab2-5012-ac23-b378c82b038a.html Anytime you see a charge for an "assault weapon," it is a semi-auto rifle that takes a detachable magazine with more that one of five features; pistol grip, bayonet lug, flash hider/threads, collapsible stock, or grenade launcher. A muzzle brake isn't a flash hider... a flash hider is a flash hider. Add in a pistol grip... assault weapon. True, there are no weapons checkpoints. But how do all these people with out of state carry permits get arrested? A simple car stop, and either something is seen or said... and they are in jail. Go to a range, I'm sure the RO would say get out of here, being it is questionable... if he doesn't call the police to decide themselves. Gun ranges shouldn't be expected to look the other way. In regards to officers not knowing the law... so, you'd give something questionable, and expect them not to arrest/seize the firearm? That is how case law is created, and if it is found to be a pistol grip, you go to jail and not allowed to own firearms (convicted felon). You want to call me spineless? Ok... I'll try to remember that when I'm up in Maine and putting the paperwork through for a SBR/suppressor. But I will not suggest someone to do something questionable, possibly opening them up to being arrested and facing up to 10 years. Act as tough as you want, but until someone in the NJSP or NJAG office say it isn't a pistol grip, or legislation is changed, you are doing a disservice to all NJ gun owners. One more "dangerous assault weapon" being pulled off the streets is not needed prior to an election. There are ways to fight NJ's laws... but people being arrested for stupid stuff like that is not the best way of going through it.

If Freehold is local to you, SPCA in Eatontown on Wall Street. There is also the Associated Humane Society on Shafto Road in Tinton Falls. The Freehold mall location is nice, but they are very limited in what they hold, and usually go very quickly. They also only do puppies, as you cannot allow the dog to walk in the mall.

Sign up for the UPS and FedEx delivery services... which is free. UPS can send you an email when something is supposed to be coming to your residence, but both easily allow you to hold the shipment at a hub, if you desire. Only costs money if you change the delivery location... which probably wouldn't be allowed with a returned firearm (depends how SIG sends it). If I'm working and nobody will be home, I do that on certain items, and pickup on my way home.

People claiming to do it doesn't make it legal... considering it is a second degree crime in NJ (possession of an assault weapon), which could equate to five to ten years in prison... is that flash hider really worth it?

So wait... you never had a battery die in a electronic device? That is a failure. All of my red dots have backup iron... whether they are cowitnessed stock sights or irons I purchased. None of them really were installed in a way that hinders anything else on my guns. And that includes being able to toss on a magnifier behind them. You can accept Proctor's view... I don't. I have backup irons on a magnified (1.5-6x) AR... without the optic being too far forward. It's called offset iron sights. Have a light on it... no desire for a laser (not the gun I'd put an IR laser on).

Loctite is a brand of adhesives... and there are multiple types. The black 380 Loctite bonds metal and polymer. Commonly used on the "castle nut" on the KelTec SUB-2000.
