I had the option to buy a similar one back in early December (before Newtown) for quite a bit less than what this guy wants but I held out until I found a Spike's. However, it sounds like these are desperate times for some when it comes to finding build parts. I will say buy at your own risk as I can in no way speak to the quality of the part or the guys business. Everyone should use their own judgement as to what parts they use on their builds.

I wanted to post this up quick so someone here could grab it before they sell out. I am not familar with this site at all. Saw it on slickguns and thought I would pass on the info.

What comes next? Suing GM if one of their cars is driven recklessly by someone and they kill another driver in a wreck? Suing Budweiser because someone got drunk, got into a fight and killed someone? Suing Sears because someone used a Craftsman hammer to kill someone?

Which part? The one where she used her Constitutional Right to imply the Constitution should be changed or the part where she ran to the closet guy with a gun after saying how bad they were?

Just sharing my experience(s) with him as well. That is all I can base my personal opinion on. I had a feeling this was the guy twong was talking about and it turns out I was right. I wasn't sure if he actually worked there or not. I have personally never seen him speak to anyone. From June until December I was there atleast once a week, so I did see him quite a number of times. It's not like I bumped into him one time and based my opinion of him off of that. The one time he spoke to me he yelled at me for not wearing my ID badge and not signing the book at the shotgun range. I showed him that I was in fact wearing my badge and pointed to it. I began to tell him that I was waiting for the rain to stop to sign the book but instead he cut me off and told me that was an unfriendly thing to say. He seemed to think I was mad at him when I was not. Perhaps he is used to people not being friendly with him as that is the tact he used with me to begin with. I'm glad to hear someone thinks he is a good guy. I was curious to know if something was wrong with this guy or if he should even be there.

Is "How are you today" a legit question? I have asked him several times over the last 6 months or so and never once got a response, only a blank stare. Same with waving to him as I passed in my car. Everyone I have spoken to at that range has been very friendly with the exception of him and the Greenwich NJ PD. The only time he spoke to me he was unfriendly and it seemed like he was looking for confrontation. Is he an actual employee or range member or is he just there to make people uncomfortable?

Are the people doing these checks at all involved with the intial FID application process? I am trying to understand why it went from 10 or 15 minutes to 3-5 or even up to 10 days. I realize there have been a record amount of purchases lately. But where there really so many more that it would have such a drastic effect? It seems like the amount of time it takes for the checks to be done has increased exponentially.

Are you talking about an RO or the other guy that seems to work there? He drives an older white pickup I believe. He may be some sort of maintenance guy as I often see him playing around in the dumpster by the pistol range. I always throw out a wave or say hello to the guy but he just looks at me like I have two heads or something. The last time I was there I was on the shotgun range and he pulled up in his truck right next to the port-o-potties and stared at me for a few minutes. As soon as I was finished he started yelling at me for not signing the book yet. I told him I was waiting until I finished since it was pouring rain when I began and I didn't want to get the book soaked if I could help it. According to him that was a very unfriendly thing for me to say and that there was no reason to get mad at him. WTF? He positioned himself right between myself and my car. As soon as I signed the book and began walking towards my car he jumped out of the way as if I was going to go after him or something. As I loaded my car and got ready to leave he just kept staring at me. The guys behavior seemed strange to me. Anyone ever interact with him? Is he a bit off or something? If he is, a shooting range is not the place for him to be hanging out.

Careful with your speed in the 25mph zone. Remember to bring targets and staple gun. Large piece of cardboard or plywood to attach targets to will keep them from blowing around too much on the pistol range. Always check the calendar on the website before you go as there are closures sometimes for training.

What's even worse is that they are making more people at a higher rate than everyone else. Soon enough they will be the majority. I hope your day improves.

How many kids have committed suicide because they were bullied over the phone and internet? There are many ways to hurt a person. Remember the college student who jumped off the GWB because his personal business was put all over the internet. In my opinion phones can be just as deadly in the wrong hands and anyone who wants to own one should pass an extensive background check.

Any chance they are from the Amazing Planet Farm and Justice Center? I always wondered what that place was about.

He should be thrown into a Tiger or Lion sanctuary at a zoo somewhere. Let the cats get revenge while saving the taxpayers some money.

This. He is using the gun issue to boost his ratings so they will extend his contract. He is a media whore and needs to be totally ignored. Anyone who watches his program or gives this guy any publicity is helping to keep him around.

This is back up for backorder at same price. Slickguns is saying two weeks.

"Weapons designed for the battlefield have a home in our streets. Criminals and the mentally ill can easily purchase guns by avoiding background checks. Firearm accessories designed for killing at a high rate are legal and widely available. And gun owners are less responsible for the misuse of their weapons than they are for their automobiles." While they make no reference to any specific guns I have a feeling they want to see semi auto rifles go away. For all we know those two guns in their safe are revolvers and they want semi auto handguns banned too. As far as being less responsible, I think that is BS. Legal gun owners are not given second, third, fourth.......chances like drunk drivers are. And that is a privilege, not a right. Screw up with a gun and you will lose that right forever. How many of us here know of people with MULTIPLE DUI's that still have a license? I would like to hear more specifics from them. I don't think they are looking for laws that are extreme as others though. Most of the anti's that speak about new gun laws need to be honest and say what they really mean. That they want all guns banned and collected. Not one of them has presented a plan for how to do it that I have heard. If you can't take all the guns away from the criminals why should the legal owners give up their right/ability to protect themselves?

Midway has 92FS factory 15 round mags back in stock for $19.99. I have bought many of these from them before and they work great, identical to the ones that came with gun. The way mags are selling its probably worth picking up some more.

So when the Rangers win the Cup this year Devils fans will say nothing?

I remember hearing that 50 Cent was shot multiple times a while back. From wikipedia: On May 24, 2000, Jackson was attacked by a gunman, alleged to be Darryl "Hommo" Baum, outside his grandmother's former home in South Jamaica, Queens. He went into a friend's car, but was asked to return to the house to get jewelry. His son was in the house, while his grandmother was in the front yard.[12] Upon returning to the back seat of the car and already seated, another car pulled up nearby. An assailant then walked up to Jackson's left side with a 9mm handgun and fired nine shots at close range. He was shot nine times: in the hand (a round hit his right thumb, to where the bullet passed through and out his little finger), arm, hip, both legs, chest, and his face (his left cheek).[11][16][30] The face wound resulted in a swollen tongue, the loss of a wisdom tooth, and a small slur in his voice.[15][16][31] His friend also sustained a gunshot wound to the hand. They were driven to the hospital where Jackson spent thirteen days. Baum, the alleged shooter, was killed three weeks later.[32] He was also Mike Tyson's close friend and bodyguard.[33] Jackson recalled the incident saying, "It happens so fast that you don't even get a chance to shoot back.... I was scared the whole time.... I was looking in the rear-view mirror like, 'Oh @#!*% , somebody shot me in the face! It burns, burns, burns.'"[16] Had that been a 45 he wouldnt be around today.

The G8 GXP was a fun car. It took Pontiac all those years to get it right and when they finally do they are dissolved. A G8 GXP found sitting in a barn in 20 years with no miles on it will be worth good money. They didn't make many G8's with the 6.2.

It went (or maybe still goes) well beyond just the top executives. I have plenty of experience dealing with GM people of all levels. Everyone I saw working at GM was spolied, even the assistants to mid level execs. When they would come out from Detroit for the NY Auto Show they would spend an absurd amount of money. "How does 50 rooms for 5 nights each at The Penninsula Hotel off 5th Ave sound guys?" At $500+ a night per each of those 50 rooms you can imagine how it adds up. Now they can't just eat anywhere. They need to be loaded into a dozen Escalades and driven into Williamsburg so they can eat at Peter Luger's. Don't forget the petty cash since they don't take credit. Now when it was time to go back to the hotel those Escalades were waiting for them. At $125/hour for each car/driver. Yup thats well over $4k just for transportation to dinner and back, not including the Luger bill. Everywhere they went it was spend spend spend and nothing but the best. The examples can go on for ever. Waste was always the order of the day and it would not surprise me at all if it still was. Then they get bailed out so they can produce "American cars" made in Mexico with European components. Having said all that I still feel that the Z06, ZR1 and CTS-V are some of the funnest cars I ever tore around in. Not all of their products are crap but many of them are.

He did also have illegal mags for the gun(s) as well. I agree that the muzzle device laws are BS but the law is the law regarldless of how dumb it is. I guess I just can't assume he is being screwed. Facts are always better than speculation. Even if he didn't know about the barrels he should have known about the mags. A responsible gun owner researches the laws in regards to what they can and can not have. By failing to do that or simply not caring he has screwed himself.

I would like to find out why there was a restraining order filed in the first place. Maybe it was unjustified and he had his guns taken for a BS reason. But maybe he smacked his wife around or made legit threats directed at her. If he did do something wrong than I can only say he deserved to get in trouble. But had he been following NJ's gun laws like the rest of us he would not have been arrested. So based on the limited details how can we say for sure that he got screwed? There is most certainly more to that story than we are privy to at this point.

You make an excellent point. I didn't realize posting my opinion that an officer making $175k plus a year was being "grossly overpaid" would cause such a response. I guess I should have known better. This is a site in support of the 2nd amendment so I should know that the 1st will be allowed as well. All who responded to that comment are entitled to their opinion and I can certainly understand their viewpoint in some regards. I have worked jobs where overtime was paid for hours over 40 in a week. I was happy to get it when it was available and never did I turn it down since it wasn't always there to be had. I think anyone that can count on getting regular overtime is lucky to be in that position. I can't think of one reason why they anyone would want to give that up. I have also moved to the management side at a small business where I had to account for the budget and generate income. I had to answer to the semi-retired president who had me handling everything. I had to fight with to justify lots of paychecks over the time I was there. I had to cut the amount of available overtime to the guys who worked for me and felt like sh!t for doing it. But I had no choice because I now understood that the money to pay them had to come from somewhere. If the business didn't generate enough $ to make the old man happy he would have just shut down that much sooner. I got lots of complaints about less OT. So I sat everyone down after 5pm and gave them all three hours in OT to explain the $ situation to them. Once they realized that cutting back the OT was extending their jobs by a couple more years they no longer complained about the OT. But not all businesses/jobs work that way. Perhaps I was wrong to look at things from more than one viewpoint. I feel that the $175k this man makes is too much but it's not his fault nor do I blame him for it. Nobody tells him not to. I am not angry with him for earning that much. I am angry at him for thinking that he is exempt from following laws. He is a very well paid law enforcement officer. I expect him to lead by example. This should be handled like anyone else who gets caught with illegal guns/mags. There are no details about why the restraining order was filed so who knows whats going on here. I have read on this forum more than once "there is going to be more to this story". We shall see. Its a shame that people have been so quick to rush to judgement. The ugly side of the forum has definitely shown here. Concluding that I am some sort of jealous, debt-ridden, unhappy, financial failure come across as very immature. They do make me laugh a bit though. You can tell all that about me because I made a comment about a cops salary? Calls for people to be banned for speaking their mind by others who are quick to hurl insults is childish. Thats the type of thing I would expect from someone like Feinstein.
