Do you have a time machine? 2-16-15 is 6 days into the future from now.B) and if the answer is yes, would you please bring me back to the 1980's next time you fire it up?

Welcome to the forum! The name of your town always makes me hungry for French Toast, anytime I hear it!

It's how I began as well, until I learned how to properly assemble an upper. Then I started building everything on my own.

Your in a PBA union most likely, you have a local just like we do. I'm sure you get the same discount.

Pretty sure Mike from RTSP bought that 1911. Unless there were two and he got a different one.

Just cover it in an inch of Cosmoline lol... No I'm kidding, don't do that! Using a silicone cloth works wonders, it really does a good job of protecting gun finishes. I've seen silicone impregnated gun socks as well for long term storage. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/590290/midwayusa-silicone-impregnated-gun-cleaning-cloth

"I didn't ask for a dime, I asked for $2!"

Better off dead. It's a classic. "Hey sorry I blew up your mom Ricky "

I didn't go but Mike from RTSP told me about what they had there. He said a large part of what they were selling, was one guys collection that had been in a Sandy damaged house. he said there was a lot of nice stuff there.

I own a power cart stair climbing hand truck. I use it for boiler installation often. It takes two guys just to get the dam thing in and out of the truck. Sucker weighs over 200lbs. Itself. It does work great, but you have to decide if wooden steps can hold the cart, safe, and two guys. I won't use it unless they are concrete steps going down billco doors from outside. Put that much weight on a wooden staircase, and it will look like a scene from that movie the money pit. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zFwBptAlvlQ

There's a company that delivers for you. Simon Peter sport in Andover, has the company's contact information. I didn't take the business card when I was there last because I already muscled mine into my house.

Build your own lower, that's easy. Buy a complete upper and your gun is finished. And build how you want it, not how someone else wanted it.

Probably because they were building their rifles in America for use in America. I guess no one told you yet, but we don't live there. Here we have to blind pin muzzle brakes, then weld over the pin. Otherwise your breaking the law and your upper now dosent comply with the NJ AWB rules. Threaded barrels are a "no no" here. Brakes and compensation devices must be permently attached. Building an upper is something your better off learning with someone that knows exactly what their doing, just my opinion of course. You can read and watch videos on how to do it. If your mechanically inclined and have the proper tools, and knowledge of how to use them correctly it can be done. But it's way easier to buy a complete upper for your first build.

Because they're not "law's" rather "administrative codes". That's how they get away with it.

It would be completely legal if you can prove you own a time machine.

This is true. It strips everything from the water. You can't live on it solely. In south Florida the issue with the ground water is that it's also brackish. In southern California they decided to populate a desert. If they didn't bring the water to the area from Miles and miles away people wouldn't be there. I honestly wouldn't have a problem with that part of our country being re claimed by the ocean lol...

Yeah they take out 98%-99% of all contaminants. A good quality small under counter RO can be had for around $500. Yeah I know Lowe's an home Depot sell $200 units as well. But you get what you pay for. A whole house RO system is insane price wise. And there's no way I'm flushing my toilet, washing the car, or watering the lawn with RO water, that's just crazy to me. But people do it. I believe the city of Miami makes 10% of their domestic water from a huge industrial scale RO plant, from sea water. It's a pretty cool system, desalination at its finest. http://www.sfwmd.gov/portal/page/portal/xweb - release 3 water supply/desalination I'm tired of talking about work here. Let's talk gun's!

If you have city water it's a whole different animal, it's already filtered for sediments. And treated daily for bacterial groth. Although things can be picked up between the treatment facility and your faucet. Removing the chlorine is a good idea for sure. Also true that an RO will waste water. Some towns actually have ordinances against using them due to water waste. Now with a well, who knows what's in the water? No one is checking it at a plant on a daily basis for bacterial growth. Best plan in my opinion is something that gets everything out. People get the water tested when they first buy the house, then think it's going to be ok forever. But it can change at anytime and no one would ever know. Good example is when the neighbors septic backs up, because they don't maintain it. Your water takes the hit. & you believe in your mind it's fine because a decade ago when you bought your house "the water tested fine". It happens often.

Is it legal to complete an 80%er when you move there? Couldn't you serialize and date it yourself? Say you completed it in 1993?

An ion exchange is effective for some undesolved solids true. But without a way to clean and discharge after a certain amount of flow they become ineffective quickly. A water softner is an ion exchange. But unlike a cartridge filter, a softner will clean (with salt brine) and re-fluf the media bed every x-amount of gallons of water that pass through the head. Then expell the unwanted solids into a drain with the salt brine discharge. RO systems work similarly, discharging the unwanted items into a drain keeping the membranes clean for about a year before they need replacing. The best/most effective method for killing bacteria in domestic water is with an ultraviolet light. And is what the federal safe water drinking act guidelines require, where we encounter bacterial issues. I will say something is better than nothing, if you're happy with the results your filter is providing then cool. But my professional advice is don't guess your problems and buy whatever you think will work. Have a proper water test done and treat the problem with the correct equipment. I agree with you 100% on that.

He got me the USA made. And can re sole if necessary. I didn't see the Chinese made in the shop last time it was there.

The only one worth getting that actually does anything is an RO (reverse osmosis). Anything else is just a carbon filter. They make sewage taste good but really do little for removing harmful contaminants like lead.

Sorry it's actually down the road in Hackensack. http://hackensack.redwingshoestore.com/

Salt level is low, and they were using crystal that's good. Put a few bags in it and turn the water on to it. Set the clock as well. You'll find out in a day or so if it works. When you take a shower for the first time you'll notice the difference. I really don't like that it discharges into an Air conditioning condensation pump. That's not the intended purpose for that pump. The discharge is salt brine, can't be good for that pump. It should really have its own trapped stand pipe with an air gap fitting like your laundry uses.

We could put it into service and see how it works. Probably has the bypass closed in the back, or the valves shut off and bypassed. Those cabinet style softners are notorious for "salt bridging". That's when you wind up with a hollow cavern at the bottom and the salt above turns into a big solid blob. Usually happens when pellets are used instead of regular crystals. I usually smash it up with a piece of pipe and it works again.
