18 months here, plus however long it takes to get the house ready to sell and find our new Shangri-La out west.

Agreed--if you haven't read one or more of the Ian Fleming novels, now is the time. They're great. The more recent James Bond books were written by other authors commissioned by Fleming's estate, and they're not quite the same. I do enjoy the films, but even before they ran out of Fleming novels to make into screenplays, they started to diverge from the books in increasingly silly ways. Moonraker, for example, was written about a single missile, with a range of but a few hundred miles, that the bad guy (Drax) was planning to fire at London. By the time the movie came out, it involved an entire fleet of space shuttles and a cloaked space station where Drax was going to establish a master race after eliminating all human life on earth with nerve agent released from orbit.

They're too busy asking me for money once or twice a day.

@brucin posted over the weekend that the Walmart in Boonton had them in stock. I've no idea if that is still the case.

As well you should be, particularly if you live in NJ. But as noted above, there is no such restriction.

It's bad news if you can squeeze an 11th round into a pinned mag, so folks doing the pinning tend to be conservative in their approach. That said, if you can get 10 rounds in and the leave the magazine sit for weeks, months, it sometimes makes it easier to load to full capacity in the future.

Anyone know how the ballistics of the 13 mm round compares with the .50 BMG? They were developed about the same time, the 13 mm is just a shade over .50 cal, but dang, that Mauser rifle is a beast!

It would be very slow, compared to any small arms powder.

I bought my first shotgun from the gun counter at a drugstore.

Yes it does. We have a few students of the art of BBQ here. Welcome to the forum.

I've got a 4" 50 caliber shell casing from a deck gun; I brought it up from a dive on a WWII shipwreck. I left the warhead on the bottom, but still have some of the powder. Even after 60 plus years submerged in salt water, it still burns really well.

That voter ID card should be issued in 30 days, but municipalities can choose to delay it for 60 or 90 or 180 days, and the voter has no recourse. When going to the polls, you must drive directly there, and directly back--no side trips or errand running allowed.

Having a license to drive isn't a constitutionally-protected right, any more than having a license to pilot an aircraft, practice medicine, or cut hair. What level of training and testing would you like to see applied to exercising other constitutional rights? Voting, say, or exercising free speech?

Welcome to the club! Eventually it will be easier to find ammo for your new acquisitions.

How do we know?

Assuming it is an issue with sizing, the worst would be a jam. A new gun shouldn’t fire out-of-battery (I.e. not locked up) so a case head separation would be unlikely

Assuming you aren't experiencing other quality-control issues with the ammo (squibs, overpressure signs like flattened or pierced primers, split cases) I think the ammo would be fine to shoot in the other gun. Match guns are expected to have tighter chamber tolerances, so use that ammo up in the other gun, find something else that works better in the Walther.

They're very popular as competition guns. The grip doesn't particularly bother me, but I'm not a fan of Glock triggers. They feel like I'd imagine a fine 1911 trigger would feel like after the internals had been coated with marshmallow fluff and sand. I'm one of the minority of shooters who are bothered by the cycling of the 34's bigger slide. The extra mass takes my sights farther off target, and I've never been able to get my shot-to-shot split times with a 34 to be as fast as they are with a 17...so I favor the 17, even though I'm giving up valuable sight radius. But, there are plenty of shooters shooting much faster splits with a 34 than I do with a 17, so it's personal preference for me, not an indictment of the 34.

Interesting. I'd always heard the expression was 'going to Jersey' when things go into the crapper.

A lot of dead crash victims would disagree, if they could.

Wet cleaning makes the brass a lot cleaner and shinier, and if you do the extra step of depriming first, it cleans the primer pockets nicely. So there is a case to be made that it's a superior process. That said, I can't be bothered with all the time and effort. I sold my wet tumbler years ago and never looked back. Dry tumbling with a little case polish (and a used drier sheet to trap the dust) cleans the cases up just fine for my purposes, it's faster, and I can reload as soon as the cases come out of the tumbler. And all the residual lead eventually goes into a landfill instead of down the sink.

It wasn’t my intention. No worries. The joke about rebranding Glock mags as Pez dispensers suggested itself as I was typing the post.

No, I made no such statement and hold no such beliefs. You're thinking of Homeland Security, you know, the ones who actually arrested him.
