convert to assault rifle for buyback?
I don't think there is any issue with the condition of the gun, so I would sell them one, after I beat it into a plowshare

Glock conversion .40 cal to 9mm
My understanding is you are correct about the ejectors, but it is not an issue. The .40 cal ejector is straight while the 9mm ejector is at a roughly 15 degree angle. This is compensated for by the conversion barrels being shifted slightly towards the ejector. If you look at the conversion barrel you will see it is wider on one side than the other to compensate for this.

"Common Sense" Gun Registration
Very good idea. How about we start taxing, limiting and restricting their constitutional rights to free speech - I wonder how they would react to that. How about before they want to express an opinion they have to go through a background check, submit what they want to say for approval, and then wait three or four months to say it.

Uptick in members?
Yes, now go convert all your liberal democrat friends and maybe we can stop our stupid law makers from making more stupid laws.

Spoke to FFL about NICS
How does "instant" turn into more than a week? I could understand if it turned into an hour or a day, but not a week.

Glock conversion .40 cal to 9mm
Thought I would share this with anyone that might be looking at a conversion barrel for one of their guns. I have a gen4 G22 and bought a KKM conversion barrel and 9mm magazine so I could use "cheap easy to find 9mm " . Lone Wolf and others make similar conversion barrels. I had asked KKM if I needed a different recoil spring and they said it works for some and others have said they need a spring. I found out that the recoil spring is the same for the Gen3 G17 and G22 but NOT for the gen4. When I tried it when I first got it with the G22 recoil spring I had something like 20 out of 50 rounds either fail to eject or fail to feed. I never had an issue like this with .40 cal in the gun. Today I received a G17 recoil spring and gave it a try at the range. Put another 50 rounds of 9mm through the gun without the slightest problem. So, if anyone is having issues with a conversion barrel in a gen4 Glock I would recommend the equivalent 9mm version's recoil spring.

A3666: Prohibits mail order/internet/phone sales of ammunition
Is that a PO address, or would it be your name and that address and a box that you list as an apartment number? I ask because most places will not ship to a PO type box.

CCI Blazer 9mm $14.99 PSA
Tried to get the 124 grain but the site would not work. I got logged in and entered my credit card stuff but when I actually went to finalize I would get a pop-up that said something to the effect "a customer with that email address already exists". WTF - that is my email address, that is how I logged in. Oh well. Tried it five times, hope I don't end up with 5,000 rounds. Actually if I do I guess I could resell it and make a killing

Cameras at ranges... why are they not allowed?
I just got back from RTSP where one of the range officers was giving a rifle lesson and his friend was right behind them with a video camera filming the entire lesson.

Ammo sourcing, is it getting even worse?
Gone within hours? I have not found that. One site I watch put 100 cases of 1,000 rounds of 9mm on line last week and it was all gone in 8 minutes!

Permit to Purchase Times
I guess I am one of the lucky few. Dropped of my papers for FID and 4 P2P's on January 14th and had them on Feb 11th, exactly 28 calendar days. When I picked them up I asked what our town's policy was on extended P2P's as obviously I could not use even three in 90 days the way things are. I was told they would be glad to extend all of them on the spot for the full 180 days - which I did.

A3666: Prohibits mail order/internet/phone sales of ammunition
Sounds about right for NJ. Maybe you could get him to talk to arses in Trenton. How does double the price help reduce crime? I just see it as causing more crime as the bad guys will have to rob more people to get the money to pay for their ammo.

Wow that is extreme. At RTSP they even have free WiFi so you can use the Internet on your smart device for free.

Cameras at ranges... why are they not allowed?
Have you tried asking for permission? I have never heard of such a prohibition. I know at my range they have video cameras running all the time at the range. I have also taken pictures with my iPhone and no one ever said a word to me.

Ammo sourcing, is it getting even worse?
Keep in mind that it is not just people stocking up, every day there is an influx of new shooters joining the club because of what is going on in the country. I should know, I am one of them. But just look at this forum lately, there does not seem to be a day that goes by without several people introducing themselves as new shooters. So, we have existing people and the government stocking up plus demand from new customers adding to demand everyday. I am surprised that ammo companies have not added extra shifts to have the equipment running 24/7 churning more stuff out. Heck, they should easily be able to cover the overtime pay.

Freedom Munitions 500 & 1000 9mm
I have ordered from them and have been very pleased. I have ordered 9mm, .40 cal and .45 cal. The delivered pricing with shipping was 28 cents/round for 9mm, 32 cents for .40 cal and 42 cents for .45 cal. All except one lot was sent in normal 50 round boxes with the normal plastic trays separating each round - no different than what you get will name brand stuff. I have not used any of the .45 cal but the 9mm and .40 cal works flawlessly - never had a feed, ejection or misfire issue with any of it. I had one bad round of .40 cal that had the head of the bullet depressed too far into the casing. I took a picture of if and sent it to them suggesting they point it out to their QC people. They promptly wrote me back telling me they would send me out a full box of 50 rounds to replace the one bad round -- you can't beat that.

Ammo sourcing, is it getting even worse?
Last week a found a good deal (in these times) for 1,200 rounds of .45 cal with two free Ammo boxes from Cabela's. Today on their web site I saw the following note: "Because of dramatic increase in demand of certain ammunition, Cabela's is limiting the number of boxes of ammunition that can be prucahsed. This limitation, which will be lifted once supply catches up with demand, this will provide the best chance for the greatest number of our customers to fulfill their needs. Please check product page for quantity limitations. The limit appears to be five boxes.

True, but you better look online quickly, before the idiots in Trenton take that right away from us too!
