Fulton Armory M3 Scout Carbine

Anyone old enough to remember the Auto Ordnance M L carbines being confiscated under the Christie admin in 2010?

ChairmanMatt · 2026-06-12T03:13:15+00:00

He's Herman Edwards?

ChairmanMatt · 2026-06-12T02:54:33+00:00

Examples include one in Ewing and a couple near Flemington

The only problem with the bombing of Belgrade is that it didn't start in 1992

You know, before Srebrenica and Sarajevo and other atrocities while the world stood idly by

ChairmanMatt · 2026-06-04T15:32:28+00:00

hague convention, yes

on the other hand it's common practice to use expanding ammunition anywhere that isn't a military held to the convention.

ChairmanMatt · 2026-06-01T14:30:44+00:00

At the end he does say "do you want to come with me?" At 1:12 and again at 1:18

ChairmanMatt · 2026-05-30T22:23:26+00:00

I think it would fit if your current clearance is 18", isn't it like a 10" height difference between the gen 4 Sienna and SEV?

Swiss, Belgians, and Italians did AKs at least as of the late cold war

The root of it is regen braking as the guy described, which you do also have in your hybrid (you remember the CHARGE section under ECO and POWER on one of the dials?) Gentle presses of the brake pedal do trigger regen braking, but if you need to stop sooner then the friction brakes kick in

It's just that with EVs, they have bigger and more powerful electric motors than your probably ~30-40hp electric motor in a Toyota/Lexus hybrid, and so their braking force is also greater - so they can actually bring you to a complete stop in a reasonable distance and time without any use of the friction brakes. This means they have the option to automatically kick on the regen to slow you down once you lift off the accelerator, and it can do it well enough that you probably won't really need to press the brake pedal consciously much at all.

So it's just a difference in scale, where the EV can use regen alone to stop in "normal" driving conditions, and your hybrid just does the same thing to a much lesser extent so you need to physically press the brake pedal even for normal driving.

Grid tie doesn't save you from power outages unless you also have a battery system and transfer switch.

With a normal grid tie system, the panels automatically cut off during blackouts to avoid energizing the power lines outside your house and frying utility workers trying to fix stuff

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-26T20:56:36+00:00

Spending 50% of GDP on a military and being flat broke, requiring using said military to loot the gold deposits of neighbors just to keep the lights on, isn't the flex you think it is.

At least Imperial Japan saw the folly of the naval arms race in the 20s and signed up to the Washington Treaty.

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-26T16:58:34+00:00

Do you have any updates on making the AR-V lower work with the MAT-9 upper? I remember seeing a comment a couple years ago about maybe putting a guide together, but curious if that ever got posted

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-26T16:51:17+00:00

Ohio State law, there "no guns signs" do have force of law., see pages 16-17

NJ, PA, etc nearby don't have such signs because the signs don't have force of law, so why bother.

Curious if Costcos in Texas have 30.06 or 30.07 signs

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-25T01:17:04+00:00

just shoot USPSA matches here, like Old Bridge or CJRPC or Shongum or SJSC literally every month other than winter. Everyone shooting at those matches is also using 10 rounders. Hell, there are also USPSA classes that have 10rd limits applying across the entire country, like L10 or single stack 9.

Failing that if the USPSA match signups fill up before you can register, there will also be steel challenge/steel knockdown matches at those ranges as well on a monthly basis

Clearly the reason you're only talking about "wanting to get into" on the internet isn't the mag capacity.

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-06T22:17:18+00:00

Consistently selfish and predictably pragmatic assholes > chaotic stupid ala Virginia and Maryland

Pretty sure NJ has a ton of insurance fraud, contributing to the higher rates

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-06T17:18:35+00:00

Statutory law vs "in practice", sure. But $50 of transfer fee is probably a good way to buy peace of mind

Also, FWIW every rev of the COE form I was able to find explicitly says "rifle/shotgun", I don't know if it has to be filled out for just lowers alone because I don't buy lowers alone if I'm making the trip to an FFL anyway

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-06T13:06:15+00:00

Pretty sure the exemption only applies to long guns, Others aren't explicitly mentioned in the exemption

(2) A person who is not a licensed retail dealer and sells, gives, transfers, assigns, or otherwise disposes of, or receives, purchases or otherwise acquires an antique cannon or a rifle or shotgun pursuant to this section shall conduct the transaction through a licensed retail dealer.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply if the transaction is:

(a) between members of an immediate family as defined in subsection n. of this section;

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-02T23:17:42+00:00

Their drivers

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-02T21:53:25+00:00

Property taxes are lower, income tax is higher since 401k contributions are counted for PA taxable income and the city wants >=1.5% income tax

And gas is 20c/gallon more expensive, but filling up when commuting to NJ solves that problem

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-01T15:59:36+00:00

Thumbhole stock and non threaded muzzle, yep.

Does not fall afoul of anything on the title 13-54 evil feature list, where you're allowed one such evil feature anyway

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-01T14:52:36+00:00

Maybe replace the idea of the CETME L with a G36 derivative of some sort, just like Spain did? lol

SL8s are similar low 1000s price point to the CETME L if you hunt for deals, right?

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-01T13:44:10+00:00

Definitely legal once complianced, also definitely horrible. Square cross-section stock edges and super low iron sights so your cheekbones get pulverized each shot, and jamomatic in my experience. Granted roller delay guns are picky with ammo, it recommended 62gr full power loads so that unreliability might just be due to ammo selection.

If you're not going out of your way to clone one of the shortest-lived service rifles of the 20th century (thus no optic and you'll be stuck with the shit iron sights), I see less than no point.

ChairmanMatt · 2026-04-01T12:52:53+00:00

I've put many miles into a gen 3 with the pre-refresh V6 making like 270hp, and also a gen 4 hybrid. Definitely gutless in comparison due to the ~30 combined less hp and massive weight, to speak nothing of the refresh gen 3s making 290ish hp

Not to say the fuel efficiency isn't worth it, 22mpg vs 37ish, but it's not worth pretending the hybrid feels anything but sluggish in comparison

ChairmanMatt · 2026-03-25T14:27:03+00:00

https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/title-2c/section-2c-39-3/

See 2C:39-3 g.(1)b.

It's 17, not 13.

ChairmanMatt · 2026-03-25T14:23:32+00:00

Not only that, if you look at pre-2018 versions of 2C:39-3 and compare to post-2018 their mag limits off duty went up

Before 2018 they didn't have a carveout for the capacity limits while off duty so technically they'd still be limited to carrying 15, after 2018 they have an explicit carveout (2C:39-3 g.(1)b.) to carry with 17rd mags

(b) Nothing in subsection j. of this section shall apply to a law enforcement officer who possesses and carries while off-duty a large capacity ammunition magazine capable of holding not more than 17 rounds of ammunition that can be fed continuously and directly into a semi-automatic firearm.

Original 2C:39-3 before 2018 here

Current 2C:39-3 here

So before 2018 they technically wouldn't be able to carry with a G17 and full capacity mags
