Joined today! That's how gun happiness looks: outdoor range with a lot of positions for all firearm types, no time limit and 50/100/200/300 for rifle. Range officers were cautious (but not intrusive) for the first 10 minutes, watched me closely and than left me alone for next 4.5 hours. Love the place so far. [Only one complaint: who does orientation on Sunday at 9am? People partying Saturday night or going to a church Sunday morning...] I think no eating/drinking goes to prevent lead poisoning. During the orientation it was stressed to take shower after range, wash hands after handling brass and avoid food on fire line for that reason. I had few bottles of water - no one bothered about it (I guess it's ok as long as container (bottle) is closed).

Talking about this matter seriously, we need input from someone who actually has some realistic idea about how practically something can be changed. What is better way: legislation or well supported pro2a politician(s) ? What we can realistically afford? I heard there are about 1 000 000 firearm owners in NJ. Let's say there are 10% of them willing to support concealed carry etc and donate $10. As far as I understand $1 mil. is a lot of money for a lawsuit. Is $1 mil. a lot for political action? Now is a good time. Firearms owners are united in fear and willing to do something.

If it's 45, there is concern about ears. 45 for indoors is overkill and can lead to extra disorientation, IMO.

This Few people will do better and avoid word "gun". Also would be nice to have good appearance.

Selfishness and lack of proper general education. What happened to old good Roman way to go? Get a nice hot bathtub, tourniquet, razor blade, champagne, nice movie or tv show on your laptop and go as slow as you like with dignity. No mess to clean up after, no traumatized bystanders, no crazy increase of business insurance...

It's somehow OK, IMO. Not something I would rush home to watch (would do it for The Killing and Rubicon), but if nothing better to do - it's OK.

+1 During initial infantry training we went through a lot of senseless and cruel things including occasional physical beating. Obviously weren't happy about it. About 6 month later one old smart commanding officer said something like that: "If you can't take some abuse, cruelty and beating, how would you be able to perform in a firefight when your life is in danger and adrenaline is pumping? If you are not man enough to take some roughness I don't need you here, go cook or push papers."

All involved parties there are a-holes. 1. The civilian was begging for LE attention, he didn't just film cops on duty, he came close to the crime scene and demonstratively filmed it from different angles. Plus loud music. Not like he didn't ask for problems. 2. Cops - expected and supposed to be professionals - tired of dangerous duty of hanging on the sidewalk, got bored and decided to arrest the moron. Why? Guess because they can. Obviously they couldn't notice large dog and expect it to come for his master's rescue. No to situation awareness, yes to happy trigger. 3. Dog. The only one who has done what was expected of him. RIP.

great old vids, thanks

At least people there are not brainwashed and still have the balls to tell their politicians what they think about hard political "work" to screw law abiding people.

It may be better idea than building it in NJ. I don't know all the details, but think there is something prohibiting firearms manufacturing in NJ - not sure what exactly is considered manufacturing.

It's amazing. What happened to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ? Current gun laws suck, but they work to please politician's egos - as useless as was intended from LE point of view. How S2723 improves public safety in any practical way? [it's not just ranting, I'm getting to the point] Politicians are away from reality and live in La-La land with ponies riding unicorns. Or just working hard to please their masters in hopes to take their careers to higher level. I can't imagine any LE getting happy about going through hundreds of pages of ammo purchase records by prescreened low abiding people - how it can help to solve anything? What prevents criminal to take 2 hr ride to a free state and buy year supply (few boxes - they don't practice a lot if any) of ammo without any record? [point] IF out governor doesn't reject this bill, we still can get a little brake. A lot details are left to AG and SP - real people, living in real world, dealing with real crimes and running their forces on real limited funds. There is still a chance that their implementation will make as little damage as possible to prevent mass waste of time and money.

I wouldn't over think it. She is your wife. She has FID. She has all reasons to honestly believe that she owns you, your ass and everything you have - just because she is your wife. Even if she would say "my rifle" and later during some super hardcore lawsuit the other side would try to go "lied / obstructed" - wouldn't work. For lie / obstruction you need knowledge, you need to say something that you know is not true.

Great gun, IMO. Ordered one last night.

No argument here. Few years ago I managed to get extra 35-40 pounds - didn't really pay attention, who cares - almost everyone around is fat. Until my girlfriend took a beach photo... It was eye opener - somehow it's different in the mirror. Took me almost year to loose 30 pounds, I write off another 10 to the age

carl_g , I have an opinion based on 10+ people I know in that town, I'm glad you live on a better block. back on topic. arrested!

Great pics, thanks. -- About fat people, I don't know how it was 100 years ago here, but in Europe you still don't see them (at least in local definition of "fat"). Before I came to the US, I knew that a fat person is someone who has 20+ pounds (not 100+ pounds) more than normal body weight. My first "fat impression" was when I stopped by Social Security Administration and there was a girl, about 25yo/5.2ft with good 80+pounds extra weight - wow, awkward moment - I stared at her till she angrily said something to me, but I couldn't understand what.

My blood is boiling. I know a family living on Cypress St. Millburn (Short Hills is part of Millburn, not separated town) is very nice town. A lot of wealthy liberals living in La-La land, one of them in aftermath of Newton was trying to convince me that only 1-shot firearms should be legal: "why anyone needs more than one bullet for protection?"... Wake up call.

only in Amerika! It's good time to get into business of producing cheap reversible (different colors on different sides) t-shirts, shorts, cargo pants and sweatshirts - gonna be in HIGH demand very soon. Way too many important people in NYC (same as LA) live in pretty La-La Land and have absolutely no clue about real life and real world around. Nothing good happens when delusional elitists implement sweet fantasy laws in real world.

As far as I know, Russians never had any recoil buffers on AKs - it's not part of design. Wouldn't do it.

Thanks Dave and Paul. I hope you are correct - would make my hobby much easier. I have MUCH less experience with NJ firearm related laws and could fall under widespread misconception. My FPID doesn't have "carry". I checked the New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice again, trying to see it from prospective of being newly implemented in 80s when FPID was new and forced on people. If seen from that prospective and use of term "possession" (not defined in Chapter 39 definitions, therefore assumed to be same as "have") in 2C:39-5 c. goes only* for possession outside of ones home/property/place of business - your interpretation might be correct. The way law is written - there is room for different interpretations. We are in NJ - state where one judge with his own agenda can instruct jury to ignore clearly written exceptions (Brian Aitken case) and ruin someone's life. One can't be too careful here. * While in 2C:39-5 a. term "possession" means - obviously - "having" machine gun under any circumstances.

Sorry guys, but I don't buy it. Unless "one may transport a long gun anywhere not prohibited" stands only for exceptions as per 2C:39-6. I'm no expert, but I know how to do research - your statements go against everything I've learned (and looks like I'm not alone in my beliefs).

Yes, all Russian commercial 5.45x39 ammo is about the same, I'm talking about Silver Bear (what I have), about same thing but believed to be a bit better quality/more accurate. I know for sure there is no steel core - it's hunting ammo.

Come on guys, OP clearly stated he has the tapco c-clamp tool Little hummer will do fine as well, it's an AK after all.
