Here's a pretty good letter written by a NJ resident to WLP http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/03/daniel-zimmerman/dear-wayne-im-joining-nra/

Probably not a good idea to give a CCW to a 12 year old.

The NRA is very busy collecting money for memberships so you can join a range in NJ. THAT'S IT!

I used to think the Taurus Judge was a silly revolver but after a lot of consideration it makes pretty good sense for a HD hand held shotty. It works either left or right handed to boot. As far as 12 GA goes, you can always give the reduced recoil/managed recoil shotshells a try.

A good 22lr pistol like a Ruger Mk III, Browning Buckmark or a Ruger Single Ten if you like wheel guns.

I love this guy but there's no way in hell I'm eating anything he cooks. I mean, did you see how much tenderizer he used. It knocked all the seasoning off. Sheesh.

Most barrels are threaded, the good ones anyway. If you want to keep it simple (and quieter) get a thread protector that's the same outer diameter as the barrel. Pinning it is easy but having it pinned is cheap too. I put a rifle (A2) length Ace Skeleton stock on my SPR and I love it, they come in an entry (carbine) length too.

One of the best investments I've ever made was a drain snake. Actually, snakes. I got the hand held kind that you can turn by hand or attach to a drill (very inexpensive) and a 100' heavy duty model, which I've used four times and paid for itself already.

Start with figuring out what the rifles purpose in life will be, range toy, HD, low budget beater, varmint, M-16 or M4 clone etc. Then, look for the best barrel you can afford and build your rifle around it. Most people pick up a stripped lower thinking that's the first part of the build. In my opinion, the build begins with the barrel.

I was told that local PBAs almost never solicit donations by phone, and that any phone solicitation is probably a third party not even remotely associated with any legitimate PBA. They create a real NFP organization legally and pose as some magnificent benefactor of the PBA when in reality they only give a very small fraction of every dollar. Like 5 cents goes to the cops and the rest goes to pay the insanely high salary the NFP creator granted themselves and "administrative costs". I have not had a phone solicitation in a long time but I just tell them I already donated to my local PBA and hang up.

60 dead now.

Without the gun control drum to pound on, Giffords would have no purpose in life. She's going to milk this cow hard because it's the only thing she can do with her disability.

^^^^^ Yup. I think enough CCWers have gotten busted in NJ for the word to have gotten out by now. There are at least two cases that made national headlines. Nobody has to like the laws here, but they have to follow them. My gut tells me that this PA CCW holder was almost certainly aware of NJ's draconian laws, he chose to take his chances, and lost. Claiming, or feigning ignorance can only work so many times.

I would be concerned that the Surefire fast attach system could be interpreted the same as a threaded barrel and that there is a suppressor available designed specifically for surefire brakes QD mounting system. Technically, it should be legal but in NJ, who the hell knows.

Turns out, Midway's b'day pricing is BS.

Oops! Well, as it turns out, $55 is a special price. Midway knows my B'day is in a few days and taunted me with some special pricing.

The Amazon case is not the same case as the one offered by Midway, also not TSA approved. Note the yellow handle on the one sold at Amazon (plano 108421) and the black handle on the one sold by Midway (108442).

Whilst doing my daily virtual window shopping I came across this case. Not that I plan on flying anywhere with my rifles but just looking for something rugged. It weighs in at 14Lbs., which is kind of a turn off. The price seems pretty good though, so I thought I'd share it. I recall the question about TSA approved cases coming up every now and again so if anyone needs an approved case, this seems like a good deal. It has "pluck and pull" foam so you can configure it any way you want. I'm thinking it may have enough room for two bolt or lever guns. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/635165/plano-aw-all-weather-series-42-tactical-rifle-case-polymer-black

Better safe than sorry. I removed the fire control group from two AR lowers and had a friend sit on them until I made my threaded uppers compliant. The NJ legal system is absurd and I am not taking ANY chances. Unfortunately, the only way to protect one's self from NJ's absurd laws is to do something equally as absurd.

Thanks, I found it on JSE for 12 bucks. I'm going to try it out.

Is the butt pad on that stock what came with it or is it an add on. I have the same stock in rifle length and the pad look to be about half as thick. I would not mind adding a little to the LOP on my stock.

Grimmer in Shrewsbury should have it.

They (all NRA bashers) conveniently neglect to mention the fact that the NRA could not exist as a powerful lobby without the backing of MILLIONS of firearms owners. The NRA's power is in it's members. NRA bashers try so hard to point the conversation at manufacturers, making them out to be the evil industrialists. While most lobbyists represent corporations and tree huggers, the NRA mostly represents the people who want just one thing, to protect their 2A rights. I guess, according to their own logic, the ACLU and planned parenthood are a bunch of fascists. Funny thing though, the ACLU and PP are not funded by membership, just government money. When the opposition resorts to name calling, they have pretty much lost the argument.

Same. In a few months they will be all over the place. Same happened with the RAR when they first came out. Patience is a money saving virtue.

I went in yesterday to have a gas tube installed and pick up a couple of things. Tom did the work while I had a look around and messed with the five demo triggers they have mounted in demo receivers to test the pull. Afterwords, he helped me sort out some confusion about combinations of BUS and red dots. I picked up a riser and a Magpul MBUS rear site. His prices are competitive with the top internet retailers, even better than Cabelas. When you figure you don't have to pay for shipping the price works out to be a little better or about the same. Plus, you don't have to wait for UPS and your UPS driver probably doesn't know squat about firearms and would be alarmed if you asked how to adjust an A2 front sight.
