LAV will be having a one day AK class in CT in the fall. Since I just got one, figured this would be a good opportunity to learn how to use it better. Can we use our 15rd mags in CT? Can we use 30's? Can we even bring an AK owned in NJ into CT? Thanks all!

I'd love this. Hate front plates on nice sports cars.

Not sure you are right about that. The way I always understood it was that the assailant has to have Ability to inflict serious bodily harm or death onto you, Oppertunity, and Proximity to do so. You must preclude every other possibility before using deadly force. The way I see it anyone has the ability to inflict serious bodily harm or death be it a 300lb thug with his fists or a 10 year old kid with a baseball bat. My physical ability and stature is irrelevant in this. Some douchebag playing the knock out game can kill a 28 year old same as he can kill a 82 year old. Regardless of the ability of the victim. If he is getting his ass kicked by multiple people at the same time they all the have ability to cause death. They all have the opertunity and proximity as well. He has no way out. To me it seems pretty cut and dry. Unless he started the fight, he has the justification to use deadly force.

AWESOME! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I have been searching and cant find the exact statute that says the FID must be issued in 30 days. I know someone posted it, but my search skills seem to be sucking badly. Also, does this rule only apply to FID applications or P2P applications as well? Someone, a while back, also posted a section of the code which says that if the document is not issued in 30 days its also a "crime" Where is that? Sorry guy, I know this has been covered ad nauseam but I just can't seem to find it.

I never understood it either. Why advertise that you have a firearm. I don't see the benefits at all

I have BattleComp on my 5.56 Noveske SPR-ish gun and a Surefire MB762 on my OBR. Both seem to work really well. Yes, thicker brass is what I was taught as well.

My only comments would be on the BCG and stock. I am not one for all the new coatings out there. I run BCM bolt carrier groups in all the guns I've built and never had a problem. I would also pick a stock which will give you a bit more room for cheek weld. The MOE stock is perfect on a HD/SHTF carbine, but I would pick something with a little more surface area for when you are lined up behind the scope. I chose the ASC stock for my SPR-ish build. The sloped on the sides gives me plenty of room to lay my face down. My 5.56 chambered Noveske barrel shoots groups way tighter than I am capable of. Never thought having a 5.56 chamber would be detrimental. I also shoot Mk262 which is loaded to 5.56 pressures, shooting that from a .223 chamber would be iffy. Isn't .223 and 5.56 brass the same outside dimensions? The chambers are different, but the brass should be the same, no? Just different powder charges for the loaded ammo? This is what I have always known. Could be wrong. But if they are of the same external dims, the die would be the same.

Looks awesome. You came in to pick this up when I was getting my 47S. I just field stripped/cleaned it and installed a Krebs safety. Didn't dissasemble it as far as you did ;-) it's my first. Still an AK noob.

Love it. Nice and simple. I really need to get a BCM rifle.

I agree. The general consensus if you want to stay AR anything seems to be 6.5CM. Can you get enough powder in an AR15 sized cartridge to reach out 1000y effectively? I know you can lob a 77gr 5.56 projectile that distance but how much damage will it do once it gets there?

Okay, gonna be a dick and call BS on this one. 2" groups at 300y with XM193 and an 8X scope? Not buying it. Sorry dude. BS. XM193 is 2MOA ammo at best. You're getting 2MOA ammo to shoot sub MOA in a gun that for all intents and purposes is, well, crap. Are you Frank Galli sneaking from The Hide to troll NJ Gun Forum? Sorry dude. BS

Does it count if you get it for yourself? lol If yes: got myself a DDI 47S :-)

When I set out to build and SPR (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Purpose_Rifle) it took me over a year to get all the parts. So I totally get it. Yes, you can swap uppers in seconds so if your goal is to have an AR and then build an accurate upper for it, that is different. Forged lowers are essentially all the same, as long as they are in spec, you will be fine. If you prefer one roll mark over another, that is up to you. You can get an Anderson lower for as low as $30 sometimes. Site sponsors have them for $50 which will save you on the transfer fee a bit. A good lower parts kit is important in my opinion. Yes PSA has decent ones, but I would spend a few bucks more and get a Daniel Defence one from AIM Surplus. Very good kit and its only $79.99. Currently out of stock but sign up for notification and pick one up when it's back. It comes with a standard GI trigger which you will toss anyway. I recommend the SSA-E. I have one in my SPR and my OBR and they are awesome! Best AR trigger I have ever used and you will need it if you want an accurate gun at 600y. After that, stocks are a personal preference. Obviosly it will have to be pinned or fixed but something which will allow for proper eye relief and good cheek weld behind a scope is a good idea. The king here is the PRS but they are expencive. Currently I am using a simple A2 with a cheek pad behind my OBR and it's working well. I will swap to a PRS soon however. Slap whatever upper on it you want and have fun. But once you start building a long range precision rig, the costs won't be as low. I don't think its high, a Noveske 18" barrel with gas block and tube is $465ish if I recall. The BCM stripped SS 18" barrel is $389, add a gas block and tube, same price as Noveske. La Rue stealth barrel with block and tube is $495. Douglas barrels are in the $350 range, over $400 when add the other parts. Lilja barrels are in the mid $400s on their own as well. A good tube is expencive.

So not to be a dick, but how are we building an accurate gun for 600 yards on $600? A good SS barrel and good trigger alone will be more than that... I mean, if you just want to hit a man size target at 600 yards I guess I can see maybe getting it done for $600 but if you want to be under say 3 or 2 MOA at that distance, I just don't see it happening. Good SS barrel will be $400 or so (Noveske, BCM, Wilson LaRue etc.) A good trigger, say G SSA-E is $240ish. Free float rail will be at least $200. Not to mention lower, upper, BCG, lower parts kit, stock, bipod... Maybe I'm just a dick. I don't know. Good luck, I'd like to hear a range report when you're done.

No it won't. The days of men standing up for what they believe in are long gone. Just another frog slowly being boiled to death.

Why are we forgetting that it should take zero days. You are 21? Not a criminal? Call NICS, swipe CC; here is your gun. The fact that we are happy that we are allowed to excersise a right in any time be it 12 or 112 days is disgusting.

I've never watched basketball, yet another reason why I shouldn't start.

Hmmm Depends on the class I think I might be down. His regular classes with 20+ students are $525, maybe the additional personal attention is worth it? I've not had problems getting attention at the bigger classes, personally.

This rain needs to stop, want to make it out to R14 I know, just wish they cared about NJ more

sucks that all these clubs make you join the NRA... I really don't feel like giving them any of my money...

Situations like this are the best argument for national reciprocity. I know, I don't want the feds in charge of CCW either, but this patchwork of rules and recognition are fucking annoying.
