Pat McNamara 2 day pistol class Princeton NJ
I'll echo what HE said. I took a 2 day rifle / pistol class with him last year at the same location. Very intense, and you have to show up with your A game and then some. You'll shoot a good amount of drills that allow for a lot of self / peer assessment during the class. Also, make sure you and your kit are squared away, don't be "That Guy". The range is outdoors with no facilities or food close by. Its best to pack your lunch a bring plenty of fluids to hydrate with. The closest bathroom is the woods, or the port-a-potty in the doggy park across RT 27.

Rock Ola M14F
http://www.jamesriverarmory.com/rockola-m-14/m14f-receiver-detail.html While surfing the net last night I found this. I wish I knew about it a month ago when they were on sale for black Friday. So far they have been getting good reviews from the guys that have built them up. http://m14forum.com/m14/151573-rockola-completed-pics.html http://m14forum.com/m14/151039-rock-ola-heel-stamps-post-em-here.html The "M14S" is banned in NJ by name, regardless if you remove the bayonet lug. Any FFL holders think since the receiver is marked "M14F" it would not be on the banned list?

1911 nowlin barrel
Recently had a 1911 build completed using a Caspian slide and frame. I had the pistol smith fit and install a Nowlin barrel, and he had to finish ream the chamber. I have put about 600 rounds thru the pistol, and I am getting half-moon powder burns down one side of the expended case. This occurs with factory ammo, hot reloads, mild reloads, and different brass manufacturers. I have a couple of questions: Is this something to be expected out of a match chamber? Is the chamber out of spec (excessive headspacing)? http://www.nowlinarms.com/product-info.php?Nowlin_Gun_Barrel_Parts-pid190.html.

Son entering law enforcement, off duty weapon
Department policy will dictate action, caliber, manufacturer, and ammunition that can be used. In NJ you must qualify with your off duty weapon the same as you would with your duty weapon. Have your son get the policy, and read it very carefully to make sure you don't spend a wad of cash on something he can't carry. When you have the information on what he can and can't carry, go with him to Lawmans Supply or Atlantic Tactical. They both stock pistols that are on state contract pricing, and extend that offer to LEO's.

Dog cancer advice
Enjoy the time you have with your loyal companion, don't make him suffer through chemo. Try the holistic, and make him comfortable. The hardest thing to do is the right thing when its time to end his suffering.

Traffic Tickets, how long to issue/write them?
Going to traffic court doesn't cost you anything until you loose. In my experience there are always three sides to the story: His version of the incident, your version of the incident, and then what really happened. However, for an off duty officer take the time to remember your plate and description, go into work and research who you were, then pen out multiple summons, and mail them out, something had to go down.

AAR S&T Carbine I Bethlehem PA Sept 14, 2013
I was also in attendance with High Exposure and another LEO buddy. RANGE: Steel City Gun Club is tucked away in Bethlehem PA. Its kinda off the beaten path, but very easy to get to. It was about an hour drive for me from Mercer County (traffic was light in the early morning). As High Exposure stated its a 100yd flat grassy range, its not the best range, but it is very far from the worst. There are no amenities at this range, but hey its a gun range. Food and water is on you, there does not seem to be any stores nearby. WEATHER: It was a good day for shooting, not to hot, not to cold. Sunny with some clouds and a breeze. GEAR: I ran the course with my armor w/plates (BAE RBAV). On my armor I have 3 rifle mags across the front, with 2 pistol mags on my upper left side. I have no problem getting into the prone position with this set up. I also run an ATS warbelt with suspenders. On the warbelt I am running with two pistol mags, a ready mag for rifle, dump pouch, IFAK, and 6395 Safariland holster for my Glock 35. I debated running this course slick (warbelt only), but it had been sometime since I have shot with my kit on, and High Exposure was giving me shit if I didn't. GUNS: My primary is a Franken Rifle that I built up this summer, and it is chambered in 300 AAC Blackout. The lower is a Mega Billet with Geissele SSA trigger installed, and other standard parts. Stock, grip, and rail is from LaRue Tactical. Barrel is from Rainer with a PWS FSC compensator. My optic is a IOR Valdada QR-TS 3x25. My WML is a Surefire Fury. Current round count (after this class) for this rifle is 635, with no issues. MAGAZINES: I used my brand new 1st generation Tango Down ARC magazines. They worked, but then they didn't. Tango Down makes excellent magazines however, the gen 1 ARC's not so well. The Gen 2 ARC magazines work very well and have none of the issues related to the gen 1. I sent an email off to TD, the old gen 1 ARC magazines are on their way back, and Gen 2 ARC magazines are being sent as replacements. Tango Down has great customer service. My secondary is a Gen 3 Glock 35 with a lonewolf barrel, and Fiber optic front and rear sights. The rest of the pistol is stock, except for an excellent trigger job by High Exposure. Current WML is a Surefire 300X ultra. Magazines were all OEM Glock. AMMO: 300 AAC Blackout- 125gn OTMK Sierra with 17.2gn of LilGun power, CCI primers, LC cases. Every round went boom, and if I did my part everything went where it was supposed to. .40S&W- 180gn bullets, Winchester WST powder, CCI primers, and mixed cases. THE CLASS: Joe started off with some introductions, gave his CV, and then went into his safety briefing. He was to the point, gave credit where credit was due, and laid out his expectations for todays course. We then did a 5 round 50yd zero, made some adjustments, shot the zero again, and we did this a few more times to make sure everyone was where they needed to be. Joe ran us through some drills, at different distances, and then went into remembering your offset (2.5" difference between your sight and the barrel). From there we went from static drills, to turning and shooting, and then shooting on the move. Reloading was covered, ammo / magazine management was also gone over. Next we worked on malfunctions and how to clear them. Lunch was on you, it gave you sometime to talk to other shooters, load magazines, and check over your equipment. From there we went into transitions, and covered when and where you should transition from primary to secondary, or reload. The rest of the day was some more shooting drills at varying distances (remember your offset). Overall the class was a great refresher for me, with some new stuff mixed in. Joe is a great instructor, and I would definitely take more classes from him. It was also nice to put some faces to screen names from NJGF. The guys from Bethlehem PD were also great, thanks for setting up this class. Its always tough to write a AAR after High Exposure posts his.

Legality of BCM Gunfighter Mod compensator?
NJSP ballistics unit told me: If the opening of the muzzle device where the projectile comes out is just slightly larger than the same size as the opening of the barrel, its a compensator. TROY CLAYMORE MUZZLE BRAKE TROY MEDIEVAL MUZZLE BRAKE If the opening of the muzzle device where the projectile comes out, is a lot bigger than the opening of the barrel, its a flash suppressor. NOVESKE PIG TROY MEDIEVAL FLASH SUPPRESSOR NJ has "AG guidelines" not cut and dry "laws" when it comes to what is or isn't. It is basically up to an expert report from the NJSP ballistics unit to tell the prosecutor what it is or isn't.
