I will be off and will attend. We should organize car pools and perhaps some sort of "park and ride" pools where we can meet up near Trenton and ride in together. EDIT: Does anyone here know the people at Cheyenne Mt Outfitters and can reach out to them? That is pretty central to 95 and 195 and has lots of free parking.

You gotta get a couple pics of it fully assembled in day light.

The reason the $200.00 tax stamp was introduced in the 30's is that was more than a months pay for a lot of folks. It was an economic barrier, just like driving up the cost to $50K is today. I'm surprised the price of the stamp never went up in all those years. We can't have poor Americans owning such weapons. Only the elite class should have them because they are so trustworthy. The bottom line is this, crazy people should not have access to ANY firearms and our socialist bleeding heart ACLU southern poverty center legal bullshit has made it easy for criminals and the criminally insane to fly under the radar because removing them from society would make them feel bad, and nobody is allowed to feel bad.....except maybe middle class white guys

Bump stocks simulate automatic fire by rocking the rifle back and forth in the shooters hands. The trigger gets pressed once for every round that pops off. It just happens very fast. Full auto weapons are in fact legal to own. It's a very expensive process that involves lawyers and tax stamps. You can buy a full auto M16A1 if you happen to have about $50,000.00 laying around and you have never so much as been busted for shoplifting a stick of gum.

If he added CCW to this so called comprehensive bill, the Dems would accuse him of putting in a "poison pill" to stop any progress. He's right. If CCW was added, the comp bill would go nowhere, which I'm sure would delight many. But Trumps game is to let the dems and repubs paint themselves into a corner. He's setting up the argument in such a way that it will be forced to naturally arrive at several conclusions. The first conclusion is that allowing teachers and staff that already have a ccw, and training, be allowed to ccw in school to protect children. Once that passes then we can argue, but what about my children in my car, why can't I protect them. Once that happens, we'll have a solid legal foothold to argue constitutional shall issue ccw and national reciprocity.

Trump seems to be influenced by the last person he talks to. I've heard and read this before. I think he intentionally comes across as a yes man to get people to lower their guard and talk more. It's a very old tried and true sales strategy. Just because he is nodding does not mean he agrees. He's proved that time and again.

Yep, FNC was all like WFT dude last night.

Well then, that's all the more reason to do it right. Be patient and keep searching. Please post your progress in the gunsmithing thread.

Yes, I thought she was going to cream her crusty old cooter. The hand wringing, literally wringing her hands like a stereotypical villein. Trump is familiar with all the arguments against banning AR type rifles and could have smacked her down, but he let her have her moment. I stand by my original statement. Trump ran casinos and I'm sure he is intimately familiar with Game Theory. The bells and whistles are ringing and the left thinks they are winning, but in reality, they are loosing just a little more every time they pull the lever. They will never win the jackpot because the game is rigged against them. He's playing them for suckers. Right now, Trumps approval rating is above Obama's at the same point in his presidency. He's killing it, still winning. MAGA bitches

I watched the entire discussion. Trump is setting up the left for chumps. They may get a few bones in the comprehensive bill but they ain't gonna get what they really want. Just wait. Meanwhile, he is stacking mad chips on popularity on the left and left of center coming across as reasonable.

I know that you know that, and I think you know that I knew that you know that, but never pass up an opportunity to make sure everyone else knows what we know, because so many just don't know.

F&S may have sold semi-auto AR-15 pattern rifles, but I assure you sir, they have never once sold any assault rifles or an assault weapon, ever. I had an uncle that drove a really badass looking car. I think it was a Jaguar something or other. It looked like a Jag but it wasn't. It was actually a VW frame and engine with a Jaguar kit car slapped on top. Does the fact that my uncles car looked like a Jag make it an Jaguar?

Dick's never sold "assault weapons" or "assault rifles".

Replacement cylinders (used) are out there if you look. Based on the mod options you presented, I'm guessing you only looked on Numrich's site. I found a cylinder at Schluder's but their price is stupid high, more than half the value of the gun. If I were you, I'd look on gunbroker for a used 55 parts gun. You can probably get a whole parts gun for the same money as a used cylinder. Alternatively, wait for Numrich to restock the cylinder.

Dick's never sold assault rifles.

The select fire AR15 was very short lived before it became the M16. I also believe it was only issued to special forces for T&E so it was not really the official issue battle rifle. But more to the point. Is there ANY country that officially issued semi-auto AR-15s as their MBR?

Earlier today I was researching what countries have ever used the semi-auto AR15 as their standard issue military weapon. I was shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya, that not one country ever issued the AR15 as a weapon of war.

Rainier's match grade SPR barrels are a phenomenal value if you catch them on sale. I recommend getting a 1:8 twist. It will stabilize up to 77gr and still shoot 62gr M855 without torturing the bullet.

Though I've not tried this myself (I use walnut media) I hear that really small finishing nails work pretty good. Some reloaders use em the way they are out of the box, others nip them in half before tossing them in the tumbler.

With Hildabeast or Bernie, you'd pretty much know what you'd get. Would that have made you feel better? I'm not harping on ya man, but we gotta give DJT some space. I've not heard anything yet that would raise a red flag, but I have to admit, there have been a few yellow flags that I was worried about. He seems to be pushing mental health, the system doing it's job and the right to return fire. I think if school teachers get CCW in classrooms, that's a win for schools and will be a stepping stone to all sane and responsible people getting ccw. If Trump was any other career politician, I'd say we might have something to be worried about because they just go with the political winds. Trump does not have to follow sop and that gives him a huge bargaining chip. The fact he is not a career politician does add an element of unpredictability but I'd rather have that than the certainty of Bernie or the beast.

No argument there, but wlp is murdering the elitist left's arguments. left - "armed security makes us less safe" wlp - okay then, get rid of your armed security hypocrites

Watching. I usually don't like WLP but he's doing okay. The libtards are watching too, with their fingers in their ears saying blah blah blah blah...

Yes, Tupperware is more of a Beretta event. Glock would be a faux pas.

yeah, riiiight.

Why are bump stocks so popular? What is the appeal of a bump stock. If your answer is anything other than it makes an AR fire like a full auto , the answer is wrong. While a bump stock may be legal because it technically does not make a firearm full auto by the strictest definition of full auto. A definition which is drawn on the mechanics of the fire control group. The fact of the matter is this; Bump stocks are intended to reproduce the mechanical properties of a full auto fire control group. It's not for a better grip, it's not to reduce recoil, it's not to enhance accuracy. It's one and only purpose in life is to turn a semi-auto rifle into a full auto rifle by means of a mechanism other than the fire control group.. You don't have to like it, but those are the facts. Up until Vegas, bump stocks were a novelty. They look like they'd be a lot of fun but they are not a critical component, not OEM so to speak. We have a lot of strong 2A supporters here, and I am most definitely one of them. We have bigger fish to fry, like a second AWB, magazine limits and CCW. If we have to throw the daffodils a bone to distract them while we get the steak, I'm good with that. Trump is going to regulate bump stocks, not ban them. Even if they get put on the NFA list as a tax stamp item, it's not like you can legally use one in NJ anyway. As a NJ resident, it's pointless to obsess over bump stocks when there are more important and troubling things coming down the pike that will have a far greater impact on 2A in New Jersey.
