Last season they had about 3 feet of snow blown on the trail. Problem was they kept it too narrow. Couple that with idiots that have no business on the trail and you have one accident after the other. Ski Patrol hates that trail with a passion because they don't want to see people get horribly injured or killed. One of them told me it was a daily battle with management. They were told to open it and usually by 12 or 1pm they closed down for the day or maybe even two days. The trail is plenty wide they just can't make enough snow on it to cover the whole thing. I am praying for a few blizzards this year.

Too bad we rarely get big enough snow storms to do things like that there anymore. Still plenty of accidents in the winter as well. I know that atleast three people have died at the bottom of Pipeline in the last two years after crashing into boulders. Some people have no idea what those two black diamonds at the beginning of the trail mean. Best time to ski that run is after they "close" it towards the end of the season. That way you don't have to stop every 20 feet to pick someone up.

Out of curiosity, how many of you would pull over for a Dodge Caravan with some strobes?

You can use slugs on the 100 yd rifle range. In the training area you can use bird or buck shot. Beams are there and you can hang something from them but not stapled right to it. They get shot out as it is but they want the wood to last as long as possible so have your target well below. Never used the archery range so I can't help you there.

This is the best answer. I started with the AK platform (7.62x39 and 5.45x39) and have since added an AR. It is more accurate for sure but from what I have seen and heard AK's tend to be the more reliable of the two. Just look at some of the functioning AK's Somali pirates carry that are held together with duct tape and bubble gum with shovel handles used as stocks. I considered selling the 5.45 and getting a 5.45 upper for the AR but decided to keep the AK instead. In a SHTF situation don't you want to have the ability to run multiple calibers? Maybe not if you are on the move but if you stay put it should be ok. The arguement that 5.56/.223 would be easier to find is understood but it is such a hugely popular caliber in the US that I would think it would dry up fast. Look at what happened with 22lr. That is why I would want options. If I could only have one it would probably be an AK style that runs 5.56/.223 or 7.62 Nato.

I would get calls from them once a week looking for money. When they finally got me on the phone the rep said they need me to donate money so they can fight against high-cap mag bans and to not lose the right to carry. I told him that I am already limited to 15 rounds and it is impossible for the average person to get a carry permit. He was very surprised to hear thats the way it is here. I told him that donations I make will be to NJ based groups that are looking after gun owners rights in NJ as it didn't seem the NRA was helping us here. He totally understood. The calls stopped after that.

So as the number of requests went up, they cut staff. That makes sense.

If you go on a Sunday it is best to go during the NASCAR race. If you go a couple hours before it starts it can be crowded but it thins out the closer you get to race time.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.... I can't drive anywhere in this state without seeing people talk/text, drive too fast or too slow, fail to signal, fail to stop at stop signs or red lights before turning right, completely ignore the two yellow lines in the middle of the road and so on and so on. I'm sure nobody here does any of that though. Terrible drivers everywhere in this state driving all kinds of things from motorcyles to "Smart" cars and Prius' and large pickups. Pay full attention to everyone around you and dont trust a single one of them to be a competent driver and you will be better off.

"Two months ago, the White Plains-based newspaper admitted that the information it published was badly outdated. The paper acknowledged many people had a dot on their house, indicating there was a gun permit at that address, even though they didn’t own a gun." Total scumbags.

Where is the Shoguns decapitator when you need him?

Here is another vendor that sells timbersmith, I went with them and it was shipped very fast. http://www.mountsplus.com/AR-15_Accessories/AR-15_Scope_Rings/STT-TIM06000.html Another option would be Ironwood designs. http://ironwooddesigns.com/IWDNEWSaiga_2.html Take your time with the project and ask a question if you are not sure about something.

We could use something like that come election time.

They would probably all gather together at the base to come up with a new term for a Lahar as it sounds a bit too ethnic and they will all get instantly cooked.

Its now at 80.87% yes, 334 votes. 17.92% No, 74 votes And 1.21%, 5 people can't think for themselves and need someone to decide for them.

I like Bob Marley's line "You can fool some people sometimes But you can't fool all the people all the time And now you see the light, stand up for your right"

That is a very serious and infuriating (to some people) crime in some areas. Add out of state plates and it gets even worse.

Here is a AR500 Zombie Head thats 3/8" thick, 11"x 7.5" for $29.99 shipped with coupon code zombie 10. http://shop.allamericansupplies.com/AR500-Zombie-Series-Steel-Targets-AAS-ZSST-1.htm

Gotta have an AK variant in there

Not since around February of this year I think. Here is a link to discussion on it. You may need to PM someone for access to it if you have not done so. I have been hearing for months that they are "working on" getting some out there but nothing yet. When I was working on getting some steel to shoot it took me about a week to get it. Not sure why it is taking so long. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/50141-no-steel-allowed-for-now/

I got this and it worked great back when EFGA let me use it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Inch-Gong-3-8-AR500-Action-Pistol-Rifle-Plate-1pc-Steel-Shooting-Targets-/251192133293?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7c37c6ad

Thank you very much Rick. When I get to this project I will be in touch.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. From what I have gathered the Sig comes with pretty good parts its just that I find the trigger to be uncomfortable after a while with the textured face. I'm going to watch alot of videos before I decide on whether I will do this myself or not as I have never worked on a 1911 and don't want to mess anything up. I think I could handle the trigger swap but I don't know if I want to attempt to mess with any of the parts involved in pull weight. And by the way, what's a Glock? :unknw:

I have somewhere between 500-600 rounds through my Sig 1911 Stainless and so far it has run flawlessly.It is my first 1911. It feels great in my hand with the exception of the trigger. I do not really care for the texture of the face of it. It has grooves/ridges on the face and I would prefer a smooth face. According to Sig it is a 5 lb. trigger pull. I would like to get that into the neighborhood of 3.5 lbs. Looking at Midway they have about 29 different triggers to choose from. This one has a smooth face and seems to have good reviews. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/215677/cylinder-and-slide-medium-solid-trigger-1911-aluminum-silver Anyone have an opinion on it? It also comes as short or long. My hands are not small so I would guess the medium or long would be the one to go for. Midway says that it should be installed by a competent gunsmith, which I am not. I have built an AR, did a couple of full Saiga conversions, swapped trigger and hammer on 92FS and springs on revolver without any problems. Based on that would a trigger swap on a 1911 seem to be within reach? Any other triggers out there you would recommend I look at?
