FBI dumping .40 and going to a 9mm
Related to this thread is the book "American Gunfight" about the 1950 attempt to asassinate Truman by two Puerto Rican nationalists. There are numerous descriptions and analyses of the Secret Service shooting training and their use of revolvers vs. 9mm handguns and how it almost changed history. Pretty decent read.

It's sad how all the Philadelphia fans have this jealousy thing going, like a massive inferiority complex. Oh wait, they really are inferior.

Favorite paper Target
I start out with the ez2c targets that they sell at all the gun shows in PA it seems. $20/120 including tax. When they get shredded up too much, I stick a pop n glo over the top of them, either an 11 3/4" bullseye at 100yds or 8" for anything else. They are a little bit fragile in that they can get scratched up if you treat them roughly, but they are self adhesive and hits are very visible. And they are way cheap for a high visibility target. Like $20 something for 100.

Cutting off bayo lug
When you say a lot of people whined at the range, was that offical 'you can't do this or we turn you in' whining, or just the general semi-envious type.I wonder because it seems to me that the odds of someone in a position to do something about it seeing your gun and recognizing it as illegal anywhere else but at the range is small, and unless there is some kind of legal requirement that a range official turn you in, you could just tell them to mind their own business since you were legal already. Not that it pays to be confrontational, but you might have just liked that look.

Ar lower in PA
Totally true, if by can't sell you mean you don't get to walk out with it. the transfer through an Jersey FFL works just like with a pistol only without the p2p so there is a NICS. The serial number is on the lower receiver therefore it is the gun. ALL other parts are good to go.

oral surgery
Most of the above is true, but there is one important misconception that you need to be aware of, do NOT wait until you feel some pain before going to the dentist. By the very nature of their anatomy, most teeth with pain or sensativity are already in serious trouble. The outer enamel layer has no nerve supply and is not vital, so there is no pain when any defect is merely in enamel. The next layer, dentin, has very tiny tubules leaading inward and very little practical feeling to low grade stimuli such as decay, so there is little to no pain when a defect or decay is confined to this layer too although acute stimulation such as a dental 'drill' will cause pain. Most people will be unaware of most problems at this stage. The next layer, the pulp, is where the tooth lives. It contains the nerves, blood vessels and soft tissue, and once a problem extends into this area, you are looking at root canal or extraction. An abscess is when the bacteria that colonize in a dead tooth invade the bone at the tip of the root and do battle with the bodies defense system producing dead calls or pus which leads to pressure. That's your typical infection and very painful in an unrelenting, gnawing fashion. If this infection gets into your blood stream, look out! Periodontal, or gum, disease, is in the tissue and bone starting around the neck of the tooth and extending down the root. It has been found that the bacteria in periodontal disease are identical to the bacteria in heart and some lung disease. So, letting that go can also lead to serious problems. The above is a bit simplfied but the practical lesson here is that waiting until there is pain from advanced oral disease to see a dentist often is playing with fire on a pain level and beyond. Sorry guys but the routine check up is the way to avoid all this.

Yo, Scorpio don't despair. Here's a site which someone (I think it was Igor) fron the forum sent me that should help a lot . http://www.arpartsfinder.com/ I was going to do the same as you but got a great deal on a Daniel Defense M4V3 (also through a forum member, Lunker)and bought it complete. Next project will be to build an upper with 18 or 20 inch barrel and mate it with Danny boys bottom! But, that's a project for another day and meanwhile I get to shoot the heck out of this one. Good luck

Dumbest NJ gun law
What do you consider the dumbest NJ gun law and why do you feel that way? For me, it's the rule that an AR stock has to be pinned. Let's say the law is to prevent concealablity, so, what if a stock is pinned at it's shortest length? Same dimensions. If you are trying to prevent a folding type stock making it 'like a handgun', that's one long handgun with very little advantage over many of the semis and/or revolvers out there. Maybe, it's just to try to make it harder to have a gun that is perfectly comfortable for more than one shooter.

Waiting on permits...do you "buy" in advance or wait for the permit in hand?
I too have one in the vault because I was fooled by how quickly the PD processed my p2p requests last time. Just tell the store that you are waiting and they will hold it. It was once suggested in one of the forum threads that you ask to make sure that there is no fee if the papers are exceedingly slow. Can't hurt.

Your experience at EFGA
Sometimes a couple of old wire clothes hangers and either cardboard or 18X24 wood board wouldn't hurt either. They are used to hang your targets on the range wires and on occasion there is a shortage.

Custom grips for Ruger revolvers
I just received a set of custom finished wooden inserts and grips for my pending (p2p) Ruger GP100. Beautiful! Go to chigs grips if you have the GP100 or SP101. You wont believe the price.

Your experience at EFGA
Awesome day there yesterday, Ran into three guys I'd never met before, got to talking and 20 minutes later I'd tried three or four different new guns, and they'd all tried mine. It's like a club, but one that welcomes newcomers. Then, I went over to the rifle range and an hour after that I had tried three different rifles and we had all taken turns at my spotting scope spotting hits for each other. Don't listen to the nonsense, join now.

Rebuilding an AR
Okay, a build it will be and a Geissele for sure. Vlad, that PSA kit looks like a winner, does anyone think there's a better way to go on the kit part. From what I have read in the past, there is very little difference in most lower kits outside of the geissele being included in this one and I like the sound of the Magpul hand grip that is also in there. Thanks for that. Carl, very good idea on the c clamp press. I did it years ago on the bike and somehow got away from it. That's also a definite. Guys keep the ideas coming. Getting psyched.
