  1. It doesn't matter. He will weasel his way out of any charges that would put anyone else behind bars with a felony conviction.
  2. I use a bean bag under the stock and squeeze it with my non-trigger hand to adjust elevation.
  3. PPU is the best value in practice match ammo. For actual matches, you'd probably want to use hand loads to eek out that extra .10 moa. Are you loading the bipod? Once I learned this technique, my groups improved greatly. You can eliminate receiver slop with about one penny's worth of painters tape. I did this to my SPR and it locks up solid. Take about an inch and a half of good blue painters tape and cut it into strips a little wider than the wall of the lower (the mating surface). Clean the contact surface real good with alcohol to remove all oil and solvents. Put down two layers of tape and trim with a razor or exacto knife. depending on the size of the gap, you may need to add another layer, or even use just one layer. Simple, cheap and it works fantastic.
  4. Properly stored or not, I don't think driving around with three loaded handguns is legal. I believe I read somewhere that you can only carry one ccw at a time. ie. no iwb gun along with a ankle bug. Just one or the other.
  5. This is a good example of the hypocrisy we need to yell about, like the libtards do, until it cannot go unnoticed. Put them on their heels.
  6. They are working on it. Our NJ groups need to know who they are getting behind before they can commit to backing them.
  7. This place is lousy with hamflakes
  8. They can only call it ham if it's 100% ham.
  9. What that guy did was brilliant. His words were plain but passionate, his message short, but clear and complete, but best of all, he was not on defense, he was on offense. The only way we will make any headway in NJ is to put the liberal blood suckers on their heels. We are so busy trying to defend rights and comply that there's little energy left to go on the offense. We need to make the democrats look bad and defend themselves. We need to ask them why the law abiding are punished hard while the law breakers get deals and gun charges dismissed. We need to know why 40 years of democrats running things in Newark and Camden have only made those places less safe and virtually unlivable. Everything they touch turns to shit, We also need to make them admit that their true agenda is to repeal the 2A so that only THEY have the power.
  10. I have had excellent results with Prvi Partizan (PPU) 75gr OTM out of my 18" 1:8 SPR btw, $0.50/rd, just say'n
  11. Freedom Munitions sells factory reloads on top of swaged NATO 5.56 brass but labels it as .223. It may seem trivial but it's not. The inside case dimensions affect pressure. The actual fps is typically under what's on the box and I've also read reviews that duds are not uncommon. Also, freedom munitions requires a FID for ammo that does not require a FID.
  12. give someone a minuscule bit of authority and it goes right to their head.
  13. I'm afraid you are right. Things are still a bit backwards in that part of the state. It would be similar to a scene from the movie Deliverance.
  14. .223 Rem chamber shoots ONLY .223 Rem safely Even though the external dimensions of a 5.56 NATO cartridge and bullet head spacing is the same as .223 Rem, there are important differences. .223 Rem became popular after the first AWB because 5.56 ammo was considered "military", hence the 5.56 chamber was considered a military feature. The first post awb target rifles (aka scary black rifles based on the ar-15 lower) by Colt were chambered in .223 and were featureless (ie. no bayo lug, target crown and fixed stock). The .223 Rem chamber is not strong enough to safely handle the higher 5.56 NATO (powder charge) pressures and is tighter than a 5.56 chamber which also contributes to the increased chamber pressures. This can be confusing because rifle makers like Ruger chamber the mini-14 in .223 Rem, but the rifle is also strong enough to handle NATO spec pressures. For older rifles, shooting 5.56 in a 223 chamber is a huge no-no, but most rifles chambered in the past decade can handle the pressures and the main difference is the chamber dimensions. Unless the manufacture specifically says 5.56 is okay in the chamber, don't do it. 5.56x45 NATO chamber shoots 5.56 US/NATO spec M193 and M855/SS109, and will also shoot .223.Rem. The 5.56 NATO chamber is looser to facilitate reliable feeding in full auto MGs and also be more forgiving to carbon buildup in the chamber. The looser 5.56 chamber does not lend itself to a high degree of accuracy .223 Wylde chamber shoots .223 and 5.56 NATO spec safely. Wylde chambers are looser than .223 but tighter than 5.56 NATO spec. You can eek out a slightly greater degree of accuracy from NATO ammo with a Wylde chamber because the cartridge fits more snugly. Most rifles chambered in .223 Rem these days are bolt action. Precision shooters will "fire form" the brass so when they reload it, the case fits the chamber like a tailored glove. Once fired brass is only good for the specific rifle it was fired in. You can't buy a bulk bag of once fired brass and expect it will be more accurate. In fact, .223 brass fired in a 5.56 chamber will have to be full length resized or it will probably get stuck and not go into battery. Jam-o-matic. Blah blah blah.... The bottom line..... NATO spec ammo is basic cheap range fodder and the favorite cartridge of "preppers" .223 Rem ammo is generally more accurate because of bullet construction. A 69/75/77 gr HPBT or OTM loaded on a .223 case will be more accurate than NATO spec because the bullet is made of better materials and to tighter tolerances. .223 (.224) bullets come in a variety of constructions. ball, soft point, hollow point open tip match, flat base, spitzer, boat tail hollow base, Heavier bullets also have a higher BC (ballistic coefficient) which also helps accuracy.
  15. .223 and 5.56 use the same bullets, both are actually .224"diameter, it's the cartridge spec that's different. NATO spec ammo is not known for precision. But, as they say, it's good 'nuff for government work. Good accuracy comes about as a result of a combination of several things, bullet weight, profile, barrel twist rate, velocity, barrel quality. even the powder burn rate can affect accuracy. Finding good ammo is not difficult but finding the ammo that shoots best in your particular rifle is all trial and error.
  16. A receiver in any state of assembly is considered a firearm in NJ. Ergo, a stripped AR lower receiver or an 870 that has no barrel or stock would be considered a firearm.
  17. Hmm.. what the spf equivalent of giving something away? CPC = Claimed Pending Compatibility, I guess....
  18. I would hope at least half.
  19. Does the 10 round limit apply to semi-auto handguns too? If it does it will piss off a lot of democrats because city dwellers are more likely to own a handgun than a rifle or shotgun. They love them heaters and gats and straps and fo foos too. I wonder what the percentage of compliance would be.
  20. @Smokin .50 Any updates? I want to make a flyer to post at some locations. Just bare minimal info with a link to go to for updates will do.
  21. And now, something completely different.
  22. The beautiful thing about this particular rally is that it's nationwide. You can show your support no matter what state you are in.
  23. Hey... wait....wait..... If someone from Philly is coming, can they bring me a real honest to goodness cheese steak sammich with American cheese and extra stewed onions? Oh, and a soft pretzel too.
  24. Don't worry, if we don't get this unconstitutional anti 2A B's under control, they will be in the same boat soon enough
