That's what I love about this forum. So many helpful people here.

I have no idea. The site says it works (brakes) with both parts attached but offers "full" braking when it's off. The brake shoots jets of gas back into the expansion chamber of the slip on thingy and then redirects the gas forward.

How about those thingamabobs that slip over and clamp on to a perfectly legal brake. It looks to me that they add the properties of a linear comp to the attached device. They are designed to mitigate side blast and direct all blast forward, just like a linear comp. Is there any nj law against a linear comp being a two piece system? Something like this: https://www.armsunlimited.com/FERFRANS-Muzzle-Brake-Concussion-Reduction-System-p/mb-crd.htm

Is the YHM Phantom legal? Opinions.....

lol.... episode 223. Will episode 556 be a tribute to Eugene Stoner?

I'm curious about the standard, or lack thereof, for this so called field test. Does the pinky have to touch the muzzle for a device to fail the test or will just going in part of the way be enough to fail the test? I've looked at several muzzle devices that appear they may fail the pinky test but the devices are not classified as flash hiders.

No, just the dumbest voters.

You are allowed to cut back trees growing in a neighbors yard if they hang over your property line. It's best to let them know what you are doing ahead of time, as a courtesy, but there ain't a dang thing they can do to stop you. I got tired of a neighbors tree hammering my roof with walnuts, so I looked into it and it is 100% legal.

I understand the physics behind FF. I get it now, rifle length gas system is for reduced recoil. The additional length reduces gas pressure but slows down the cycle time.

Can you, or anyone else, explain the purpose of a rifle length gas system and FF tube in an 18" bbl. I can understand if it will be used with open sights, better sight plane and all that, but most are being used with an optic. Is it just for looks or are these being used for a practical purpose?

Rifle, 5.56 It is also melonited. Guess it wont matter since the threaded portion will be covered with a linear comp

Looking for a gunsmith in, or close to, Monmouth to cut and thread a barrel. Any suggestions?

+1 for Odin Works. I did not buy their barrel for my SPR but they have outstanding customer reviews. Also check out Rainier barrels. I went with one of their 18" SS Wylde match barrels. Very happy with it. I hear White Oak also makes a great barrel

This is the same barrel Primary Arms sells for $120. Good reviews on PA website, 4.9 stars. S&H + $10.00 $89.95 delivered. http://www.radicalfirearms.com/16-M4-1-9-Twist-Barrel-p/16m4-1-9.htm

Thee are two ways of overseeding. Before you seed, cut the grass very short, you can practically scalp it. The most basic way is to use a slicer, it will cut grooves in your lawn, It will make your lawn groovy .. Okay, bad pun. Anyway slice the lawn from street to house then again from corner to corner. in other words, do a right angle in one direction and then again at a 45 degree angle then use a spreader to put the seed down. The other method is to use an actual overseeder. Same pattern as slicing. They are heavy and cumbersome to operate but the results are a lot better than the slicer method. The overseeder cuts the grooves but the knives are followed by harrows that plant the seed into the grooves. The two main benefits of using an overseeder are the planting and it uses far less seed. The better the soil contact, the better the chances at germination. Once the seed is in the ground you need to water it constantly so the soil does not dry out or your seedlings will die. If you have inground sprinklers you can program each zone to water for about five or ten minutes at 20 to 30 minute intervals. Naturally you don't have to water after dark but make sure the topsoil is wet all the time. If you don't have in-ground sprinklers go to home depot and buy a couple of sprinkler timers. They cost about $40 each. Anything but a pulsating sprinkler is a waste of money. You can set 2 to 4 of them up in series depending on how good your water pressure is. The last two things worth mentioning are these. You can fertilize when you seed but it has to be 100% organic. If your soil is compacted hard clay or just hard, you probably want to CORE aerate it too. Dont bother with spike aerators, they suck. ahh one other thing I forgot. Lime. I don't know why but people hardly lime their lawns anymore. Lime is like a booster for acidic soil. Most of NJ soil is acidic. I prefer to use pulverized lime in a drop spreader but pelletized lime is all the rage these days. Pulverized requires a drop spreader and good memory or you lawn will look like a green zebra.. You can use a broadcast spreader with the pelletized lime and get the same result. After about two weeks your lawn will be thick and green but the real magic happens in the spring. I have turned absolutely atrocious lawns into green lush carpets using this method.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pretty much this When the cool weather returns your lawn will perk up some. Don't water it during the day, either water it in the early evening when the sun has just set or in the early morning before the sun can bake off all the moisture in the soil. DO NOT try and revive it with fertilizer, it will burn it out and actually kill it. I'd water and wait a couple of weeks to see what rebounds. Now is the best time of year for lawn renovation. You can rent a slicer and seed the bare thin areas that dont rebound or just overseed the whole lawn with a good mix of cool season and summer grasses. Sod is only for people who need instant lawn.

.243 6mm or 6.5 Creedmore. Fast flat and will not punish your shoulder. Avoid rifles with a light sporter barrel,such as the Ruger American Rifle or the Savage Axis, the price may seem attractive but they are strictly hunting rifles. Check out the Ruger American Predator and the Ruger Precision Rifle. Savage also makes a few decent rifles with mid weight barrels. The problem with thin barrels is they heat up fast. Not a problem for hunters but will cause a lot of grief at the range if you plan on pulling the trigger more than four or five times. Thin hot barrels destroy accuracy. Of the three calibers I mentioned, 243 is probably the most economical to shoot. You can find pretty good 243 ammo on sale for around $16-$18 per 20/rds I shoot Prvi Partizan (PPU) and occasionally get it on sale for about $12 per 20 rounds. You don't have to spend a fortune on glass but count on spending almost as much as the rifle itself. I'm a big fan of Redfield's Revolution scope. It's almost completely made in the USA at the same plant in Oregon as Leupold and has a lifetime warranty . Nikon (so I've heard) makes a very good scope too and it's probably a better value than the Redfield scope but I only buy Made in the USA when there is a US made option. Yeah, my Redfield cost me a tiny bit more compared to a Nikon but that's my own personal preference. Let your budget guide your conscience. So that's my two cents worth.

The only way an illegal alien can buy a firearm is to commit fraud or buy one on the black market, which we all know is illegal. Two wrongs (or crimes as it were) don't make a right.

As they say (whomever "they" are) good enough for government work. Sounds like you have a winner.

Vlad, The name of this country is the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. You may also refer to it as the USA, the US or simply as America. But dont be a mudak and insult Americans by calling it" 'merica." Thank you.

You need a Kazinsky shed All kidding aside my wife would definitely smother me with a pillow and tell the cops it was sleep apnea if I set up something like that in the kitchen. really, no kidding Okay, maybe I am kidding....maybe. That is an impressive looking piece of machinery. How many rounds per minute can you produce and what is the reproducibility of tolerances for OAL and powder charge?

Thanks Nac, I'll check out Freehold carting, btw. I revisited the bagger thing. Cant do it because of power lines.

I can assure you. This is my country. I am not Sicilian, not Welsh, not Irish, not German, not British. I am an American. If that's a tough pill for anyone to swallow, tough shit.

We are all born with natural rights but those rights are not unconditional. The USA does NOT have open boarders (though one would never know it) and we have Immigration laws. People who break laws loose some rights. Should illegals have the right to vote? Run for president? Work without a proper visa and not have to pay taxes? Are illegal immigrants granted MORE rights than US citizens? It sure as hell seems that way.
