Thx for the heads up!

Hahah! I have some epic turds (garnered 8 hours after a 32 ounce Rib Eye, two potato, bottle of Malbec dinner) I want blinged. I'm sending them to that dude!

Heard them a little while ago in Bridgewater. Wish I was outside to see them.

I think Sightron and Vortex are the best bargains out there these days. http://www.amazon.com/Sightron-3-9x42mm-Black-SII-Riflescope/dp/B000MLZ6CE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348523989&sr=8-1&keywords=sightron+sii Great scope in your price range. If you look around, you can sometimes find a Vortex Viper 3-9x40 in the $250 range. Vortex has a killer warranty. Even if you drop your gun or accidentally run it over and smash the scope, they will replace it... for life. I have both and would give the edge to the Viper. FWIW, they are both mounted on rimfires, so recoil isn't an issue. I have no personal experience w. the Redfields, but having been reading some pretty good stuff about them.

It's not the ATF he has to worry about. It's the NJSP. Are the chances very slim? Yes. But this is NJ. I'd pay a 'smith to do it

Can we PLEASE jumpstart tar sands/shale oil production so these ticks can go back to humping sheep?

My safes are in a humidity controlled room, so I'm not really worried about rust and can't comment on that aspect. But my more expensive long guns go in the socks to prevent nicks and scratches. A big nick on a nice O/U shotty forend was enough to convince me. My ARs and AKs I'm not really worried about as they get used and abused. It's the nicer wood/nickel guns that get wrapped.

Many moons ago, I was new to guns and wandered into Griffin and Howe in Bernardsville. I nearly loaded my drawers when I saw some of the "cheaper" gun prices.

As was said earlier, newer bullet weights make the AR a much better platform. I wish I could find the article I read on how 55/62 gr. FMJs were sometimes not as effective on thin Hajiis because they would zip right through w/o any yaw or fragmentation. But I'm tired and my google fu is weak tonight.

I have a Single Six Convertible that I really don't shoot much. It's a great gun... however, I have large hands w. sausage link fingers. That tiny loading gate makes it a royal PITA to load. Something to consider if you have big paws.

I'm going to my next town council meeting to suggest they install a Sperry ball turret (of B17 fame) w. two .50 cals in the ceiling.

I showered today.

See, that sentiment there is exactly what puts off people like me. You are NOT different than a civilian. You are NOT active military. You are a civilian. If anything, you are judged by lesser standard than non-police civilians. Can you imagine the shit that would have hit the fan if a CCW holder had wounded 9 bystanders in the NYC Empire State firefight? I'd be much happier if modern police adhered to the doctrines of Peel and Beccaria instead of Ray Kelly and Garry McCarthy. And most of the egregious shit the modern police do can be blamed on the War on Drugs. Departments w. APC's? Completely unacceptable. I could go on forever on this topic... but I won't. I graduated Rutgers w. a dual degree in Administration of Justice and Psychology. I also hold a Certification in Criminal Justice. Want to know why I didn't become an LEO? The attitudes of my fellow classmates disgusted me. The Us against Them mentality was malignant and I didn't want to become part of that cancer. Police ARE civilians. And the sooner they start acting that way, the better off this country will be. I'm holding my breath....

Police are civilians, too.

I'd also add the VEPR to the mix

MAK-90 : http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=305575816 Best stock trigger of any AR I've fired. Downside:If you don't like the thumbhole stock, you need to do the 922r dance. No side rail, but that can be worked around. How about a Saiga? Converted or unconverted. IIRC, Heritage Guild had an unconverted for $400 a few months ago. Get to know your rifle by converting it. Want to spend a little more coin? Get an Arsenal.

We're (at least I'm) not downing on you, Blue. It's just a general frustration the state does not deem us worthy of protecting ourselves and our families.

Great find! Down for 2 black ones.

Buy lowers, buy ammo and buy mags. If the Anointed One somehow gets re-elected, expect Executive Orders severely restricting our rights. And let's not forget, Romney is better... but not by much.

Here's a basic (if somewhat outdated) guide on scope selection by a bunch of guys who know their stuff: http://www.chuckhawk...riflescopes.htm I've been very happy w. some of Vortex's scopes. I just picked up this one http://www.vortexopt...lex-moa-reticle The glass is comparable to some much more expensive Leupolds. ETA: Like heavyopp stated, you want a company that will stand behind their scopes. The better companies do.

If you want to help mitigate recoil on an 870 or 500 HD gun, try one of these: http://www.blackhawk...ck,1808,165.htm I have one on an 18.5" 870 and it makes a noticeable difference. And less recoil means back on target faster.

What did you cut the barrel with? And how did you attach the front site? Looks great!

It seems only Glocks (and their NFA items, of course) have restricted buying requirements. http://info.atlantictactical.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53:order-gun&catid=34:ordering&Itemid=55
