The marine or the regular rail gun? I agree with you on the marine but a regular colt rail gun can be had for 1k. I want to compare it to the e series I recently bought. I like that all the controls are stainless vs black on the s&w. An ed brown or wilson is also getting bought on this round of permits hopefully.

Im in the same boat. Tried to become one, got a yes from him and said he would get back to me asap, then nada. Followed up multiple times but never got a response.

I think they fixed the problem, but I had one of these a year or so ago and it was a jam o matic. I sold it bc the S&W 15-22 was vastly more reliable. I wanted something the same size/shape as my scar to practice with for cheap but the mk22 also isnt a true 1:1 scale of the scar. This is a good price for the rifle, but just be conscious it might be very finicky and its not a training substitute for an actual scar.

FWIW I bought the troy delta and its pretty damn solid. If you want to check it out let me know, I think our locations are pretty close.

You can also go with something like the troy delta rail that is free float and will fit around the front sight post. Google 2 piece free float rail. Its easier than cutting everything off and there are several options.

There have always been ammo shortages since I have started shooting, the price just goes up every time. Its gotten worse in the past 10yrs though for sure. Ask ppl what they paid for ammo in 2004. 9mm 120/case, 556 $200/case, etc. Now we pay double that and think its a good deal. Inflation didnt cause the price increase, that money in going to someones pocket.

Not a law but an internal rule practiced at lots of places. Several stores near me practice this.

Agree its ugly as sin, even uglier than the utas, but I wanted to try a bullpup shotgun and the price was right. I think the ksg wins hands down aesthetically.

I bought the whole package converted but unfired. New barrel, tube, receiver, sightmark ultra shot reflex, and sling for under $500. I know the guy lost a bundle on it.

6+1 capacity combined with the fact that the location of the loading tube is now directly in front of your shoulder making it nearly impossible to reload on the fly. Also no available side saddle to carry additional ammo.

Bullpups unlimited makes the conversion kit, you use a regular remington 870 18" for the barrel, receiver, and feed tube.

Picked up one of these recently bc I wanted a ksg but between iffy reviews and the price I had held off. This popped up cheap so I grabbed it, not expecting much. Its awesome! Ergonomics are great, recoil isnt any worse than a reg 870, and hitting targets and birds with the red dot is a breeze. Gf & I took it to the range today and it was totally a blast. Using the manual clay machines we were even consistently hitting the pigeons. I would never use it for hd but its a nice little range toy. If you can find a cheap used 870 I would recommend trying this out.

I want one, but for the price decided to go with a used ed brown or wilson. Looking for a regular colt rail gun though.

Just saw this and figured it was worth a post. .22lr AK copycat with no flash hider, fixed stock, and 10rd mag for $160. Seems to have decent reviews although I know nothing about them. http://www.slickguns.com/product/armscor-ak22-22lr-10rd-bl-wd-stock-16009#comments

Njpilot is correct as always. I have a PRO on the Tavor and a T1 on a 14.5" ar. I would be happy to let anyone test them out as long as you also want to tour the club. That now gives you guys at least 3 of us (blake, njpilot, jimmyagr) to meet/shoot with.

As someone who was hesitant to go bc I had only shot 1 other type of match before I can say that this is a very good match to start with. Everyone is very laid back and helpful. The stages are also less stressful to shoot bc you are not moving and shooting, it is from a static position. As long as I can get off of work I am going to be there. This will be the last match score I need to get my special purpose badge so that I can really start practicing with a holster in the pits.

Negative, only way to join is at the membership meeting. I am sure if you asked if any members were available to shoot with someone would be willing to guest you in and shoot with you. When are you looking to go shoot?

^ How checko's sight looks in the last picture is how I sight in anything I have with a FSP, dot right above the post. Your EOTech should not be obscured by the front sight. If it is you either need a spacer like Checko said or you need to adjust the sight up significantly.

Welcome from Ocean County as well! Good to know there is now a local option for this, I am contemplating a color change on a couple of guns.

Ok here are a couple regarding using 223 as sd ammo and there are links in the articles to various tests. http://www.ar15.com/ammo/project/Self_Defense_Ammo_FAQ/ Click on 223 http://how-i-did-it.org/drywall/ammunition.html Drywall test w/ various 223 loads http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/03/ryan-finn/sheetrock-penetration-testing-take-1/ Different calibers vs drywall

Truth be told I never looked for them. Will do a quick search when I get home from work tonight.

There are several hd .223 rds that are suited to not go thru walls. I will try and find links in the am. Hd guns boil down to what suits your situation best bc there are rds for most calibers available.

Jack of all trades, go 9c then. Its def accurate enough for hd and you can conceal it without major issues. If you want to check one out Im pretty close.

I have a full size and a compact in the mp 9mm. They are both excellent pistols but serve totally different roles. If you are looking for a compact carry gun Id go with the shield instead of the 9c. Its thinner and easier to conceal. Both shoot similarly. Only major benefit I see to the 9c is that you can use the full size mags in it. Its a great pistol but for carry id go shield all the way.
