They are selling online for just around the $1K mark. So who in NJ has one in .308?

Last fall I asked him if he would ever do a class in NJ, and he said "Hell No" lol. I asked him what changed when I saw this class and he explained that a class near by was canceled and a friend of his arranged this class. He mentioned that if this class was successful he would consider doing more classed in NJ, including a carbine class.

Its also available in .308. I saw the article on Snipers Hide this morning. I was considering doing a build with a 20" 700 5R, but I might just go to this instead. I already have a 7.62 OBR and if I can use the same mags - awesome! Wish it was a little shorter, but I could always pull the barrel off and have it cut/recrowned if I want to. Seems like you can work on with standard AR tools. Might swap the handguard as well for something I like more, but this would be down the road. I don't want to add yet another caliber right now, so I would stick with .308 So far I have not been able to find them for sale, but I am sure they will be available shortly.

Negative sir, not tucked in. From what understand the holster would allow for that, but I never tried it. The polo shirts and button down dress shirts I wore were from Express, size small. So as I said, not big baggy clothing.

I carried the Shield for three days in Georgia in May. Walking around the AIA convention all day. Sitting in lectures, talking to other attendees, presenters and industry reps. No one ever noticed it was on my waste and I wasn't wearing baggy clothes. Business casual dress, dress shirts, poloes and so on. Using a BladeTech AIWB holster and it seemed to do the job very well. Even driving around Atlanta and going to the airport, no problems. In summer clothes I can't hide my G19, but the Shield, no problem. I'm 5-10 and 145lbs and wear fairly closely tailored clothing, the Shield is the go to pistol when I travel to Free America.

Is that a suppressor wrap you are using on the hangduard? Which one is it? I'd like to do something very similar on my OBR.

I have heard that before, but none of my G19 mags will take a 16th round. I can barely get the 15th in there. Maybe I am just a wimp. Like I said, the answered seemed to definitive regarding a modified base plate being illegal if removed, but changing a spring is gray area? I hate this state.

So I got a stupid question; if the ability to remove a modified base plate and replacing with a non modified constitutes an illegal magazine, how are the 15-round M&P mags legal? They base plate is not permanently attached and the only difference is the spring. A person could replace that spring with one from a 17 round M&P mag and have 17 rounds in there. The 15 rounder spring has a number of collapsed coils at the bottom but the height of the spring is the same, the mag body is the same. So whats the difference between a factory 15 round M&P9 mag and a modified baseplate mag? Does the fact that the metal body only has holes numbered up to "15" rather than "17" I just don't follow...

I took a job in NYC when I got licensed because they offered me roughly 40% more than I was currently making in NJ. The company I was with promised me the moon and the stars if I hurried up and got my license, I did, I got "screwed." I worked in NYC for 11 months and bailed. I have a park and ride within walking distance from my house, the bus cost $330/mo with another $25/mo to park. Considering the pay increase, it was okay. The time commuting was a nightmare however and caused a lot of fighting with my wife. When you leave at 7am and come home at 8pm, you mood is not conducive to a healthy relationship. At first the tax situation didn't hurt us too bad. I got a tiny refund from NYC - roughly $20, and with the wife working in NJ we got an NJ refund as well. When I went back to working in NJ, I realized just how much NYC taxes sucked. Getting paid exactly the same annual salary, I would bring home almost $3.5K more a year in tax differential alone!!!! Never again will I work in NYC... My father has been working in NYC for over 15 years. I have no idea how he does that commute.

Nice! I have an A2 lower sitting all loanly. Might need a true SPR Mod 0 upper

Back in stock at G&R - $27/ea

Oh. Gotcha. I got confused. Like I said, haven't tried the ones I got yet in live fire. But they seem to feed just fine cycling the bolt manually. Looks like I need give em a good work out before putting them into the rotation. At $12 a pop, it's hard to argue against the HexMag tho... if they work that is.

$155 for a BattleComp or $199 for the Model 12. They are both expensive. Not much difference at that point.

I thought the OPS brake was a no go because it has threads for a supressor on it? Did u somehow perm. attach the thread protector onto the brake? I wanted to get the OPS model 12 brake for my SPR and got scared off.

I got 5 to test but haven't had the chance yet. Why are you running the bolt slow? You are riding the changing handle forward? That seems to go against everything every instructor has ever taught me. I'm pretty sure you are supposed to let the CH fly forward on its own. If the mag works with the CH going forward without resistance from you, then the mag works as it's designed to.

Looks like it's all sold out! Damn, that was quick. I believe it starts 8 or 9 am. Last year it started at 9am if I recall correctly. I can only make Sunday since I will be coming back from vacation on Saturday . Spoke with Larry and he okay'ed it.

There is an Amendment to the Constitution that says "shall not be infringed", if NJ can ignore that, NC can ignore Article 4, Section 2. If I was the NC AG I would tell NJ to pound sand and now allow any NJ trooper in the state to get him. NC should protect their citizen from unconstitutional prosecution.

I already did. Went back and forth. This was the result: "I was given your email concerning our policy of not shipping AR-15 lower receivers to New Jersey. I can tell you that our policy was enacted due to legal advice given to us by attorneys. Due to the language of the NJ assault weapons "ban list" we have been told that shipping lowers into your state could open us up for possible legal action down the down. The "ban list" contains both a Bushmaster and a Colt style AR-15. Then language of the law then goes on to include the term "substantially identical" with respect to the assault weapons listed specifically. As we all realize, the lower receivers we sell are actually considered the firearm since they are the main component and the part containing the serial number. Not to mention the fact that they are then built into actual AR-15 style rifles or pistols. Thereby it is a reasonable conclusion that AR-15 receivers (which are considered a firearm legally) can be considered "substantially identical" to items listed as banned by the NJ law. We have submitted inquiries to both the State Police as well as the Attorney General in your state trying to clarify. Both offices have responded to us but would not give us the green light to ship these receivers to your state. I can only imagine that the vagueness and ambiguity is maintained just in case legal action arises in the future. Therefore we have chosen simply not to take the risk. Thank you for your time."

Good News! Last fall this class was awesome even with 22 people.

I know this is prolly not General Discussion material. But these are so hard to come by and the price is so good I could not, not post it here. Sorry Mods. http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=3000247 $27/mag is a steal! I got 6 :-P

See you there! Though I may only be able to make Sunday.

http://njbentwheel.com/ Full disclosure: I have never had work done by them, I only know of them because I raced GoKarts with the owner. They seem to do nice work.

The class in PA last fall had 22 students If I recall correctly. It was the biggest class I have ever taken (used to 12 students or so) but I did not feel neglected at all. He seemed to do a good job giving individual attention to each student during each drill.

http://aliastraining.com/larryvickers2-dayadvancedhandgunclassaug8-92015winslownjsouthernnewjersey.aspx I took this class last fall in Bethlehem and loved it! The class focused heavily on marksmanship with the pistol. There was a quick review reloading, drawing and trigger control but most of the work centered around placing accurate hits on target. We used and NRA B8 target and hits outside of the black were considered missed. Shooting took place from 5 to 25 yards and we even did a walk-back drill on steel. I hit at 50y and 60y. I missed at 75 yards. A few guys made hits at 100y. Very impressive. If you want awesome instruction that is worth every penny, this is the class you are looking for! Im going to be there!
