PORK ROLL or TAYLOR HAM!?
A swing and a miss..... Pork roll is processed and packed in a cotton case whereas Canadian bacon is a cured whole cut of pork loin.

New Ruger Model 5820
You are GTG on almost every Mini rifle (15, 30, 300). You can even attach an evil A2 style flash hider if you want. Without the wicked semi-auto/pistol grip combo, your NJ legal options magically open up.

Ok, what does this have to do with the price of rice in China?
Blame it on the actuaries.

PORK ROLL or TAYLOR HAM!?
My family has been calling it (Taylor) pork roll since 1952. Always ordered sammiches as pork roll egg and cheese, Never heard a single person order a Taylor ham, egg and cheese sammich, not once, ever!

Any Subaru owners?
Two years ago I inherited a lightly used 2008 Legacy from a little old jewish man (father-in-law) who never drove it to synagogue once. . I love it. Impressed by the handling, drives like it's on a rail. A bit under powered but still peppy. What really impressed me is how it handles in the snow. while all kinds of 4x4s were stuck in the snow after the blizzard, I never once even slipped, much less got stuck. Amazing AWD for a low to the ground car. The only bad thing I have to say about it is the windows dont seal well and I get a lot of noise from that.

If your nose hairs are black, save them. I'm sure they can be used for something tactical.

L & H Woods & Water?
I've been there a few times. It's a nice place, friendly, not a huge firearms selection. Sent a friend with a P2P there and he walked out with a facial deformity as a result of the ear to ear grin he had after buying a near mint used S&W .357 snubby. It's a classic old school outdoorsman sporting goods store. Reminds me a little bit of what Bob Kislin's used to be.

Sports Authority to Close Nationwide
I used to go to SA for 12GA target and hunting loads, clay pigeons. bought some throwers there and and other sundries for waterfowling and clay busting. Once they stopped selling what I wanted, I stopped going. Maybe it was the antis, maybe it was the mountain of regulations they had to deal with in NJ. Probably a combination of the two. In the end, I'm still shooting and they are gone.

Slightly Different - Build or Buy "Budget" AR-15 in the $700 range
I didn't "need" a gunsmith to mount the barrel. I wanted a gunsmith to do it. It's the one thing I wanted done with absolute precision because it is a precision rifle. For any other run of the mill AR, yes, I'd mount it myself. Any monkey can do it. EDIT: btw, it is a BCM upper receiver on my SPR. That bitch was tight.

Ruger makes a great AR but I still think you'd be better off building (jmho). At least buy yourself a couple of lower receivers. Build em later, sell em, whatever. It's just good insurance. The stripped lower is the only serialized part of the rifle. Once you have that in hand, you can decide what you want to do with them later.

My vote goes to build. You will get exactly what you want and learn the platform inside and out. If you are going to build a precision rifle, I'd recommend letting a gunsmith or armorer mount the barrel. Mounting the barrel is not complicated, but for precision, I prefer to leave that one task to the pros. Everything else you can do.

what to purchase: ammo or reloading supplies?
Buy both, as much as you can, as fast as you can. Having an overstock of ammo, powder or primers is never a bad thing. Even if you wont reload or shoot the ammo for another five or ten years, it's a good investment. Just think how much ammo has gone up in the past five years. It ain't ever going to get cheaper and if you decide to get out of shooting altogether, it's the one thing you can be certain will sell for a profit.

AR-15 Rail - Need Help

AR-15 Rail - Need Help
Well, I cant really agree that is a free float system with vestigial components remaining. DD and others may call it that for marketing, and it may but the objective of FF is to eliminate as much harmonic interference from the barrel as possible. I still stand by my statement that 2 piece drop ins are great, but I cannot agree that it is truly free floated. In any case, if what the OP actually wants is just a 2 piece drop in rail to add more goodies, it's a mute point anyway.

AR-15 Rail - Need Help
So, no part of the 2 piece drip in FF touches anything but the barrel nut? If the gas block does not come off, what happens to the end cap?

AR-15 Rail - Need Help
I don't know why nobody has addressed this yet but, here goes. If you keep the delta ring, standard barrel nut and end cap, you will not have a free floated hand guard. I believe what you may be looking for (or referring to) is a two piece "drop in" handguard. but that type of HG is not free floated. If you do, in fact, want to free float the HG, you will have to remove just about everything from the barrel. Free floated HGs do not touch anything other than the usually proprietary barrel nut that comes with it. What has been mentioned, is that it's a bad idea to mount an optic in such a way that it bridges the receiver and hand guard. This is absolutely true. Even if the mount is a one piece, any flexing between the HG and the receiver can throw off the zero by a few degrees..A two piece mount will be worse. I didn't see any mention of what optic(s) you will be mounting but in any case, you can use a cantilevered mount that hangs over your hand guard. If you are using a low power fixed or variable magnification tactical scope, you can get a one piece cantilevered mount. Easy peasy. If you are using a red dot with a magnifier, look at Checko's rifle for a good example. The red dot hangs over the HG and the magnifier sits behind it. You certainly do not need to free float the HG to have a good accurate rifle. Personally, I do not like the look or feel of a spiky quad rail but that's just my own opinion. Midwest Industries makes excellent 2 piece drop in quad rails, M-Lok and Key-Mod compatible rails that use all of your existing hardware, hence the name "drop in". Good luck, have fun and don't hoot your eye out kid.

Howard Stern on the Second Amendment
Howard Stern is a shock jock. I don't think he is pro 2A at all. He just wants to stir the pot. His audience is primarily libtards so it's easy to get a stir. His main goal in life is to get people (whether they love or hate him) to say his name.

Router recommendations?
Routers are meh. They do not offer much security. I disabled the router function on my Fios (in other words, put it in bridge mode) and use a ZyXel ZyWall firewall . I've also used Sonicwall products. One of the differences is that a firewall uses something called stateful packet inspection, too complicated to explain but it's like having a security guard and a bouncer at your virtual front door. I can detect bad behavior from the outside world and block it. A $100 router just directs traffic, some offer a little security, but can't compare to a real firewall. Have a look at this. Great security that wont brake the bank. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0ZX2RC8863

Pistol Primers
Call Howell Gun Works. They don't carry a lot of reloading supplies but they seem to have the essentials. Solomons is a great place too, but the hours are very limited. Wed evenings and Sunday afternoon 1:00 to 4:00.
