Side question - Why get the Scorpion and MPX?

It's a little like all of the cars you can pick in the world but you buy an Evo and a STI.

Scorpion owner here, not just someone trolling. I was comparing the MPX versus the Scorpion and ended up going Scorpion mostly for the cost.
I love my Scorpion, much more than the MPX.

The only reason that I bought the MPX is because the small dealer couldn't move it, and thus, I got a really, really good deal on it. Since most people don't mess with SBRs these days (because of braces), no one wanted to buy a factory MPX SBR that they couldn't have until the stamp comes through. Most people will buy the pistol and run a brace, or use it as a pistol until the stamp comes back to make an SBR.

Soooo., it was just collecting dust. For the price, I decided it was worth it compared to what they normally go for. I do like it, but I much prefer my Scorpion.

That's why I've been eyeing this guy for a while now:

In that type of environment, FFP seems like a no brainer.

I don't have that scope, but I do have a couple of Primary Arms compact scopes, and they have all impressed me, for the price point.

Another random question. How do you like the Ruger LCP II?

I was thinking about getting one for concealed carry (I live in PA). I am between that and a Glock 43. Th 43 is slightly bigger, but if life on the line, figured I should get a Glock.

I like it for what it is, I've never had any issues with it, but I only carry it in one or two specific instances. I pocket carry it while hiking/backpacking with extreme penetrator rounds in it.

With my P365, I just don't find a reason to carry it very often. However, although the P365 pocket carries fine, I discovered that it's sharp corners have worn holes in my pants pockets, so I may start carrying the LCP more when I need to pocket carry.

Yeah I think I would pocket carry 24.7. I just do not think i could get used to having a gun holster in my front area.

Made Some Firearms This Weekend

Made some firearms this weekend, or at least made what the ATF considers firearms. Milled out 2 lower receivers from 80% blocks, one AR-9 9mm, and one AR-15. It was significantly easier than I expected, and was pretty easy if you are able to follow instructions and use a decent jog.

Now just to get the rest of the pieces to go with them.

It's against the law to possess. You can't even legally possess parts that could build a >10 round magazine. Penalty is per magazine too.

My response is to keep an extra 10 round magazine; and staying sharp by continually practicing reloads. Well... that and keeping the Benelli M4 a little closer. 😏

I have more than a few friends sending them to me here on the farm. Started a storage spot in one barn. If Washington goes that way I don't know what I am going to do.

A couple of popular gun guys I follow on IG posted a image about it, but what happened?

NJ passed a law and you have to turn them in?

As if I did not hate NJ more for your gas pump cannot pump your own gas when I go to NJ for track day situation, I hate them more now for you.

Does that mean, you have to buy a weapon with a magazine with the valid size if your others wont meet the law?
What happen to your already owned weapons if no magazines with such low capacities are available?

First, I love NJ's only full service gas station law.

As of 12/10/18 you simply cannot posses any magazines that hold >10 rounds. You either turn them into the police; transfer them to someone that can own them (NJ active police officers for example), destroy and dispose of them, store them at a gun shop, or permanently modify them to only hold 10 rounds.

I destroyed and disposed of mine.

My genuine HK 10 round magazines weren't cheap.

NY passed the 10 round limit years ago but you could grandfather high capacity mags in if you already owned them

How do you prove that have the receipt glued onto it. I have 100s of mags would be no issue if that happened here for me.

I am not sure if that is how the law works.
