I've been looking for a steel 15/30 for a while, because I wanna wrap a couple with the Gadsen flag and punisher wraps but I feel like they'll look like shit on Hexmags... Think I've found my steel mags These should be NJ legal, it says they're permanently blocked.

Ahh, but you guys are thinking of just Brakleen. The stuff I'm talking about is much more potent, made by brakleen. Not the stuff ya get in the spray can. But I guess if the standard stuff is fine on it, the industrial stuff can't do any harm. My biggest worry was there being some sort of coating over these parts I didn't know about, like a polymer or something, that I'd melt off. If there's nothing like that present then aside from making the steel a little lighter colored it should do fine.

I don't see any reason it would be a bad idea considering there's no rubber or plastic in there aside from the buffer. I used to be a mechanic and I still have about 2.5 gallons of some industrial strength brakleen parts cleaner - this stuff actually *will* strip the chrome off a trailer hitch. Used it to clean steel parts before working on them like axles and control arms and things of the like. I'm debating on field stripping my rifle and using the stuff on the internals... I mean soaking the BCG in it for 5 minutes would probably melt off everything but the steel it's made of, the stuff is one shake short of acid. It's 100% non-oxidizing so the threat of Rust isn't an issue, and ofc I'd have to re-oil everything... But does anyone think it would be a little too harsh for the thin steel components? To give you an idea of how harsh... Ya can't use latex gloves for more than 2-3 minutes working with the stuff, because it will literally melt the gloves off your hand. lol, .75+ Neoprene only thing that can take it for more than 5 minutes.

I can respect that. I just recently started buying ammo online this year, so I'm not familiar with the events of the recent ammo shortage. I like CTD just because they always have a great deal on .223 ammo. Their 5.56 is actually more expensive than most like Freedom Munitions and whatnot, but their .223 is *always* the top 10 entries on www.ammoseek.com when you search .223. Dat communist-made tin ammo is titties in my book

Just wanna note that while I've ordered ALL of my ammo off Cheaper Than Dirt over the past 6 months, they flat out refuse to ship *anything* AR related to jersey. They had a pretty good deal on a solid stock I tried to order, they wouldn't ship it to Jersey. Same with a complete upper they have a great deal on right now, won't ship to Jersey. Not even to an FFL in Jersey. Said, "Because of possible violation of a complicated system of laws regarding assault weapons, we will not ship *anything* AR related to New Jersey." Wouldn't even ship a Magpul forward grip!! But they'll sell ya 5.56 by the case and it's always at most 3 days from order to my door... So that's a plus.

Quinton Sportsman's Club is where I took my hunter safety course, they have a clay range with equipment and all you just bring your gun/ammo. Non-members $28 for 100 discs if I remember correctly.

I don't really like the look of the grip myself... but it definitely looks better on the black one. Blends in, looks like it's supposed to be there, but still *pops* enough to catch your attention. I feel like it just stands out on the stainless.

So, I made up my mind and I ordered the Micro Dot. $89.99 can't beat it and after watching probably about 3 hours worth of video reviews on it, including one where a guy literally throws his rifle to the ground three times, drags it through a mud puddle, rinses it off in a clean puddle, then proceeds to smack the sight around a few times followed by a successful double-tap with a working sight, (And a working rifle... God bless the AK). I did get the chance to shoot my buddy's rifle yesterday with a Trijon ACOG, and while the sight I ordered is certainly no comparison I'm comfortable with the enclosed dot. Thanks for the recommendations fellers. $97 including shipping for a sight I can drop into mud, rinse off, smack around and still use effectively... Well, you'll never see my rifle in the mud but it's nice to know the sight will survive.

I've spent about an hour on the Primary Arms website looking at their various sights as well as the ones they carry from other manufacturers. I love asking for advice here because you fella's always know just where to go. I've done a heck of a lot of research into reviews of Primary Arms sights and between the recommendations here and what I've read I'm satisfied in spending the money on a good sight from them. Right now it's a toss up between a Micro dot https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_Micro_Dot_Removable_Base_Gen_II_NV_p/md-rbgii.htm or reflex https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_Red_Dot_Reflex_Sight_with_Push_Button_p/parrs02.htm I've shot with a reflex quite a bit, I like them... I like the openness of the sight, the field of view retention... But I'm debating on trying the micro dot. I've never actually shot with an enclosed red dot, I dunno if I'd like it... Hate to spend $100 on something I don't like. I dunno, I'll probly go with the reflex. Thanks for the advice guys!

Oooph... Yeah that's a bit more than I wanna spend right this minute... Thanks though. I've seen this Barksa name around on the web - This particular sight any good? http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/9-88679

Well I found a reflex sight on Amazon, some no-name-brand, for $22... Which I admit I normally wouldn't buy. It had countless reviews of people saying it worked great with 1k+ rounds downrange on AK's, ARs, even a .458 SOCOM, so I figured hey... why not. I went to sight it in today, only took 9 rounds to actually sight in - it was really close. I spent 50 or so rounds getting it as perfect as I could... Started shooting for fun... 100 rounds in and the thing started getting all glitchy on me. Green dot stopped working, red dot was working funky... Every 3 shots it would turn off. Meh, live and learn, $22 and 100 rounds basically wasted. But, I'm posting because I've searched all over at different optics and I'd *really* hate to spend 100/200 on an optic just to find out it's a repackage of the one I got some douche is selling for big bucks. I know there are some select brands that are trustworthy, but they're all in the $400+ range and I just don't have that kinda money to drop on one right now. I'm interested in a reflex style sight. Doesn't have to be true holographic, don't need any bells or whistles. Just a solid sight that's gonna last. Preferably under $200. Any suggestions?

Whoa there, fellas. Didn't know the subject would blow up like that. I must have gotten two *special* mags, because I certainly did not need to force it in or utilize a blunt instrument for the 16th. I actually had 30 rounds left in a 50 round box, was loading two mags and after loading the first I realized I had 2 rows of 5 and 1 row of 4 left, prompting me to unload and count the original mag to discover it had fit 16 rounds. Like I said though, after loading it back with the 16 and using it, the first round flipped up and jammed. I will say, though... Every time I go to Cabella's I spend a few moments in the magazine isle pondering bringing home 2 or 3 Pmag 30's....

I actually had a similar issue the first time out with my hexmags. Happened twice, but each time I realized I just hadn't had the mag fully in the well. Both times I opened the action, dropped the mag and stuck it back in a little firmer, worked fine. I also did notice these 15/30 mags *can* actually hold 16 rounds. That 16th bugger will fit in there, but every time I did cram the 16th in there it wouldn't chamber the first round properly.

Ahh, unfortunately I do not yet own a pistol. Stupid NJ and stupid Deptford PD screwed up my app. I gotta re-do everything just to get the extra permit for the extra evil guns.

Hey all. I'm going shooting tomorrow by myself up at R-14 but I figured I'd post here in case any of u might be lone wolfing it around SJSC tomorrow, Sunday 7-12 and want some company. Half the drive for me I live in Paulsboro. I've had my eye on SJSC for a while but I can't afford the $250 to join right now. Would like to check it out, though.

I purchased 2 of these about 3 months ago. Have about 1000 rounds thru each mag and while I never drop or.... run over... my mags, they work great. Never had a feed problem. I will say they can be a little wonky to load compared to the standard metal mags. Maybe it's just my uncoordinated fingers.

See, this is why I absolutely love this forum... Always get a legitimate, thoughtful response to everything. I was initially told by an ex Marine friend he preferred to have non-magnified optics closer to the front of the weapon because he felt it took away from the view obstruction and made for faster target acquisition. He never actually said "on the handguard", and in the moment I didn't ask him to specify. I did some searches on the topic from just random online sources (Stuck "Where to place RDS on rifle" in Bing) and from what I saw, "Closer to the front of the weapon" was a pretty common theme. Perhaps I was exaggerating the non-specifics by thinking this meant on the handguard. It made sense to me because the closer to the front of the weapon the optic the smaller area it actually takes up in your field of view. Now, this doesn't matter much to me because I've always shot with both eyes open... But another point made sense to me that the variable placement of the weapon when it's shouldered quickly as well as the difficulty of keeping it on target while moving would benefit from having the sight closer to the front. Also, no I'm over the bipod. I realized having a bipod on a carbine is a bit silly given it's just simply not what the rifle is meant for, and since that same friend I spoke of earlier taught me a really effective method of bracing the firearm in the prone position that's actually more comfortable than shooting on a bipod. While I thoroughly enjoy sniping, I'm going to eventually buy a real rifle-length firearm to build for that purpose. I'm going to start using my carbine for what it's meant for - close/medium range quick shooting. I'm sure you guys probably remember my post a few months ago about my first rifle here... And as silly as I feel I have to admit I've come to the realization there's really no reason to put all the mall ninja gadgets on it.

Jrfly: How much ya looking to get for it? That's pretty close to the image i had in my head of what I wanted. Vlad / Jrfly: I realize mounting an RDS onto a drop-in handguard could be a bad idea considering it's prone to move slightly. I'm only considering it because it would seem the consensus votes the farther forward the sight the better when talking about RDS. It makes perfect sense to me *why*, even though I am admittedly a noob to the AR platform and rifles in general. I grew up shooting handguns and the only one I ever did have a sight on was a sig .45 and I had the sight almost all the way to the back. I'm rambling though... I know the optimal setup would be a free-float system to have the RDS on the rail, but #1: I don't have the money to spend on a decent free-float, and #2: I'm done spending money on budget parts. Learned my lesson when I spent $22 on the quad rail I have now thinking, "Oh, hey, it's exactly what I want" then see the UPS guy using a hand truck to deliver it. I exaggerate of coarse, but you catch my drift... lol Basically I don't like the look of the stock handguard, and since I can't spend the money on a free float right now (Mostly because I'm going to buy a decent holo), I wanna go with the drop-in handguard. I actually like the look of that a lot, Jrfly. If you're willing to sell, lemme know what you want for it. If you're in Monmouth county it's a bit of a drive so maybe we can set something up I'll take the trip to do some shootin' with ya at the same time!

Hey fellers. I've been looking around for a decent AR-15 drop-in handguard that is lightweight and has at least a partial rail on the top for mounting a RDS close to the front. Carbine length w/ delta ring. So far haven't found any after searching around a bit... I did find one that was basically perfect - smooth and slim guard with a rail on the top - but it said it weighed 1.1 lbs. Seemed kinda heavy to me... Right now I have a quad rail i spent $22 on that probably weights more than the gun itself...

www.rebelarms.com for 15rd hexmags in 30rd bodies. About $12 each, and I gotta say I was impressed - Time from me clicking order at about 5pm to delivery was 2 days. And by 2 days I mean I ordered at 5pm Tuesday and they were here on Thursday.

Saw this a little late... Damn! I ended up taking a 3 hour drive to my buddy's farm out in Lancaster Co. PA. I just wasn't feeling USANA only having the 100 yd range... regardless of the plinking being ok or not. In fact, it kinda pisses me off that SJSC limits plinking to the 50 yard range. No point in me joining the club... On the bright side of today... I shot .50 AP-I. At a tractor tire @ a~200 yds. I caught it on fire. Then we blew some shit up. And, somehow, between the .50, .458 SOCOM, AK-47 (Rock'n'roll ) and his 1911... I gave him $100 towards the insane amount of ammo we used and came home with the same 500 rounds I left with. Yup... Went shooting, didn't even touch my own rifle.

Hey fellers. I know I've seen a few of you with this club as your home range. I've called and talked to Skip several weeks ago and he told me I just have to come at 8am any saturday or sunday to join. I've been debating hard wether to join USANA or SJSC, and since USANA clocks in at $40 less per year and 15 minutes closer to my house I'm leaning that direction. I tried calling the number again but didn't get an answer, so I figured I'd ask here in the hopes someone who goes here could answer a question that's basically my deciding factor.. What's the longest range at this club, and do they allow plinking? If so, are there rules regarding what and how far certain materials can be shot at? Do they sell backers on site, or do you have to make your own? I wasn't initially planning on going shooting this weekend, but I've had some previously tied up "fun funds" become free and I've got 500 rounds of commie blasting ammo in the closet I've been waiting to shoot. Just don't feel like driving 75 minutes to Range-14.

Nah, he already told him he only wanted the long gun permit. He knows the difference between FID and p2p, he asked specifically for the longgun permit. I dunno, when I went for mine I didn't get the spanish inquisition. Yeah that one-page application was part of a full packet Deptford gave me... I thought he needed the whole shebang at one time?

Hey fellers. I don't delve into laws very much but this seemed like a bit of an over-reach by Bellmawr's finest (South jersey Bellmawr... Not north). My buddy lives in Runnemede which I assume is serviced by Bellmawr PD since that's the municipal building he went to. He needs to get his initial FID. He went in and asked the receptionist for the FID application. She told him they don't hand out applications and that he had to go online and print it out. He asked where to find such documents online, and she told him he had to talk to the chief. After a 20-30 minute wait, the Chief finally comes out to the lobby and started asking him 99 questions about *why* he wanted a FID. Questions like, "Do you intend to hunt?", "What ranges do you plan to visit?" and this one, which I thought was about the biggest "None of your damn business" question I've ever heard: "How many guns do you want?". He's a smart guy, so he answered every question with the equivalent of "None of your business", but still - What the F is that?! After the Spanish inquisition was over, he still had to leave without an application packet. I searched online and found the only document out of the packet I was given from Deptford PD - the cover page - to print out. Couldn't find the fingerprinting form, couldn't find the mental health consent form. I think they were giving him the run-around. Anyone else have a similar experience with this PD? Can my buddy just go pick up the packet from Deptford and drop it off to Bellmawr? It's the same thing right, they aren't allowed to make their own forms...

I mean I don't expect anything for free, so I'll pay you for i guess a hunting lesson to help with your costs of using the property? And I plan to get both tests done. I'm registered to do it in Quinton next Wednsday the 27th at 6pm. Bow and firearm the same day. I have a *decent* bow. Thunderbolt at 55lb draw. I can hit a 6" target at 50 yards with it - probably farther but I never tried. No range long enough to try farther. I wanted it at 80 lb draw but the guy I bought it from said they don't make the cam pins for it anymore so it's basically stuck at 55... For my first outing, what would you reccomend I go for? The seasons for various game listed on the NJ website was a little confusing. I currently only have a 5.56 AR-15 and the bow with a set of 6 fied tips and 6 broadheads. I'm more than confident of my marksmanship capabilities with both weapons. If all goes well I'll have my license next week.
