Crazy question, and not intending to hijack the thread (but I'm going to do it anyway), if I were to put one of those ugly NY stocks on my AR could I then get away without pinning the comp? Or even, God forbid, using a flash hider?

I'm shocked to hear about corruption in a Hudson County town whose mayor is also the assistant superintendent of schools and a state senator.

Heard a loud thump that sounded like it was on the roof, and then another on the side of the house at about 2am. Cleared the house then took a look outside to find the metal chimney cap standing straight up in the grass. Wind took it off, scared the crap out of me.

Went there on Thursday with a buddy of mine who was looking to buy his first gun. The people there were very friendly, and it was a pleasure dealing with them. Not one ounce of the "gun snob" attitude you sometimes get in other shops/ranges. We had talked to the owners and a pair of Bob's, all nice guys. The shop was clean and welcoming, I saw some couches off to the right and what appeared to be a classroom type setting but didn't take a walk down there to see what it was all about. The range itself was nice. The RO greeted us as soon as we walked into the range and asked if we had shot there before. Since we hadn't, he ran through the range rules with us. This was definitely appreciated, it's nice to know the deal when you go to a new place. Overall we had a great experience there, and will most likely choose GSSC over Shore Shot going forward. I've never really had a bad experience there either, but I appreciate the customer service that GSSC has made a priority. Keep up the great work!

I had to do a factory reset on mine after the update jacked it up. Huge battery issues that were resolved after the factory reset. Used to use Google Hangouts for SMS prior to the update, but afterward I wasn't receiving all of my messages. I've since switched to the default Samsung messenger, which seems alright. For me it was more hassle than it was worth, hope you have better luck if you go that route.

I just tried it and was able to get another two pairs (one black/one khaki) for the $10 also! I liked them for 10 each, love them for 5.

In for two, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the head's up!

I've had DirecTV for about 8 months, I love it. I've got the wireless genie with the main box and two of the smaller units. The wireless units are great because I can bring them out to the garage or the back yard and still get reception (YMMV). I had issues about a week ago when that wet heavy snow crusted on the dish, I used a roof rake to gently scrape it off and was back in business. I don't see myself going back to cable anytime soon.

I've been looking into different types of AR ammo recently to find out what would be the best choice for home defense, but also priced reasonably enough to actually shoot from time to time. Currently I have some Federal M855 green tips, which I've recently learned are less than ideal indoors. I also have some Wolf Gold .223, which I'm told is similar, if not identical, to M193. I'm thinking a non-FMJ type ammo would be better if I ever have to use it inside my own home. I started researching the Hornady V-max bullets and basically trying to find a decently priced round with a polymer tip. I just ordered some of the Federal Grey Tip at PSA (http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/4550/) as it was on sale, and I was able to get 280 rounds for .44 cents/round shipped. I did a quick Google search and people seem to like them for target practice, I'm wondering how they would do in a HD scenario. Obviously I'm going to have to see how well it shoots once it gets here, but chances are it'll be more accurate than I am. My thoughts are that these would be my best choice for HD of the three I'll have. Is this logic sound, and does anyone have experience with Federal grey tip?

Congrats! Looking forward to the grand opening.

Finally got down to Range 14 this morning. Took a buddy of mine and got a chance to shoot both my AR and 12 gauge for the first time. I could barely hit anything at 25 yards with my Glock 19, I had never taken it past 15 yards before. Tried to dig holes for the targets with a garden trowel, but the ground was frozen solid. Luckily the guys next to me had the post hole digger, saw me struggling and brought it over when they were done. They also were really cool and loaned me some tape when my staple gun crapped out. The range officer came over in the beginning and shot the breeze with us a few times. He showed me an easier way to load the AR mags, then called my buddy out on referring to mags as "clips"(which he deserved). I got called over to the bench to lock the bolt back once during a cease fire, then again for the slide on the Glock a little later. For some reason I thought the bolt/slide needed to be closed on the chamber flag. Felt like a dope (especially the second time) but the RO was cool about it. All in all it was a good time, people were friendly, and I didn't get muzzle swept which is always nice.

Thanks for the head's up guys. Wavecaster, the pic was helpful. Planning on heading down Saturday morning, looking forward to it. Haven't shot since before my daughter was born over a year ago and have way too much ammo laying around, time to put some of it to use.

Nice, I appreciate the offer. I'm going to see if either my brother or brother-in-law want to take a ride with me next weekend, if it doesn't work out I'd be happy to take you up on it. Didn't know you could have two people shoot at the same station/same time, that's awesome.

Thanks for all the info guys. Didn't think about chamber flags, thanks for that head's up. I think I'm going to make some pvc target frames and I have some metal tent spikes so I can anchor them down. Jugs of water and some cans are a great idea, I'll pull some out of the recycling. I'm sure it varies, but typically how crowded does it get there on the weekends?

I just finished building my first AR-15 and am itching to shoot it. I'm not currently a member of a range, I used to be at Shore Shot, but I'm not interested in paying for frangible ammo to shoot indoors. I also have a 12 gauge Mossberg 500 I haven't had a chance to shoot yet (haven't had much free time since my daughter was born). I was thinking about going down to Fort Dix, it's about an hour ride from me in Hazlet. Wanted to get some clarification on a few things and ask for any recommendations for shooting outside in the cold (it'll be my first time doing so). 1. Am I correct that you have to purchase the membership to shoot there ($60), then its another $4 per hour? 2. Should I build my own target stands before going? I'm thinking a rectangular frame to staple cardboard to on two posts, 1x3 as they recommended on their site, a little less than 5ft tall. How many should I make? 3. Can I shoot my AR, shotgun, and pistols all on the rifle range? 4. I have ammo, eyes and ears, targets, what else should I bring? Any recommendations/things I haven't thought of, please let me know.

Dropped off my upper to Steve yesterday around 5 pm. He pinned the comp and shaved(then blued) the bayo lug and had it ready for me this morning. Steve not only does great work at a reasonable price but happens to be one of the friendliest people I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Seriously, if you need work done, need a transfer, or are looking to buy something do yourself a favor and go see him. Thanks again. P.S. Here's the (almost) finished product:

Hey Steve, are you around today/tonight? I want to drop off an upper for some compliance work (pin/weld the comp and shave the bayo lug). I didn't want to pop in without a head's up.

Ran it two years ago, the air is just fine in the tunnel. I agree that the ascent is rough, its very noticeable especially closer to the end. I remember feeling like I was running hills as I crossed the finish.

Back in stock at PSA for $49.99. $7 to ship. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/anderson-lower-receiver.html

Yeah I know. I'm putting together my first AR and trying to do it on the cheap. It was $97 altogether after FFL transfer and NICS, would have been even cheaper if I would have picked up a few at once. Now I know for next time.

Nice lower. Picked one of these up from PSA for $57.00 shipped about three weeks ago. Out of stock there now, should have bought a few more.
