*You're 1. Carrier drops off gun. 2. You log in gun. 3. You call customer. 4. Customer comes in fills out 4473. 5. You do NICS check. 6. You take their money. 7. You give receipt to transfee. Even a monkey can do that. I don't get what your expense is other than time. You'd do that anyway for a sale.

Congratulations Zeke on 10,000 posts....! Don’t mind those others who can't understand you. I remember when you first started out working in the German Coast Guard a number of years ago..... You have come a long way! AVB-AMG

Maine is nice but you only have 2 seasons there. Winter and July. Water temperatures along the coast make NJ beaches seem like Key West. I'd rather deal with heat. As long as you have shade and enough to drink the heat will not kill you. You can only put on so many clothes and still be cold. All depends on what you want.

Would there be a buyer's premium payable to the house? Would dealers who are not NJGF Vendors be allowed to sell? Why would anyone sell to thousands, when Gunbroker reaches millions?

Agreed. Set a price you can live with given the market and go

Sounds great, set a reserve and go!

@Scorpio64 @JasonSeidman Let’s not! Repeat not! Talk the new guy into a fricken shockwave.

Manufacturers should just start calling everything "defense rifles" and "personal protections handguns".

Zeeker, we all hope you are coming up with a doozy of a post for #10,001. We want to bask once again in your JarJar Binksian prose.

I'll go further and say it's our duty not to support them.

When the local shop doesn't support us........we are relieved of any duty to support them.

All business has overhead. Electric, phone, rent, etc. But, if you get transfer business that you weren't otherwise going to get, that transfer is profit 100% as compared to not getting the transfer business at all. Half empty or half full?

I guess dealers do that in a public park and if its evening they use candle light. Shocking that i have to explain expenses like electricity, rent, internet, telephone, insurance and of course time to someone who owns a business.

I basically got back in the car to drive away, then he paid

Creating tons of fake data would be hard... I mean do we say the Hillary server was faked too? That was after all hacker groups. Hillary’s server, DNC leaks also count as tinfoil then. I say let them release it because there will surely be truth to it. The fact that 9/11 was the best result possible for Silverstein is a fact.

@fishnut living where you like it is important. Key West rarely breaks the mid 80s in temperature, the humidity isnt too bad and there is always a breeze. I found that as long as you had large glass doors with screens and a ceiling fan you could get by fine.

I hope to move back to Pennsylvania as soon as possible, even with 4 more years of Wolf. The second amendment is as big an issue as any other issue for me getting out of this state, Last May, when gas prices were higher, the price of gas in the Gettyburg area was the same as the prices I was used to in central New Jersey. I know Pennsylvania gas is more, but I was surprised to see that. Besides, somebody is going to have to pay for the 3 more years of Murphy's spending.

#8 ANOTHER GEM BY LARRY BRAICO! NJ GUN OWNERS TIRED OF STEREOTYPES & ABUSE! UNITY & ACTIVISM KEY TO A 1-TERM MURPHY REGIME! by Lawrence J. "Larry" Braico, 2nd Amendment Activist Special to Black Wire Media Wednesday Jan. 2, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us F the MSM! Nearly thirty years ago Mike Kelly of The Bergen Record goofed on good citizens who were protesting [then] Governor Jim Florio's much coveted and so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban of 1990 by calling them "FLANNEL SHIRTED YAHOOS." Nothing has changed; (except for the big hole in the ground where the Record used to be in Hackensack), and Kelly still writes for what's left of that failing Democrat loving rag. The Main Stream Media, both print and digital, still assails defenders of the Second Amendment and promotes the destruction of that Article of the Bill of Rights the Founders found important enough to put a telling "second" amongst a carefully selected jeweled list of the "ten" most important political treasures time had advanced for the empowerment of people over government since the Maqna Carta in 1215. God was watching THEN and provided something called the INTERNET which has given voice to the People in a manner never expected by those like Mike Kelly. I do believe if it were not for this medium, the globalists would have prevailed by their targeted year of 2000. How many readers and posters here know about an international cabal of One Worlders called the Bilderbergers? How many know Jim Florio was invited to, (and attended), their gathering immediately after losing his governorship after only one term? Not many! They put a band aid on his boo-boo and sent him home with lots of pats on the head and hand shakes to console the ass kicking he took from the boot toes of those same "Flannel Shirted YAHOOS." Lets hope we can secure a similar invitation under similar circumstances for Phil Murphy. Putting aside minor differences in attitude, approach, techniques, etc. and keeping the GOAL of ending the rule of our Oppressors will get us to the finish line! 2019 just started and there's LOTS of work to be done! Staying vigilant by JOINING a group such as CNJFO is a great way to start the new year! www.cnjfo.com/join-us EDITOR'S NOTE: Larry Braico joined our volunteer staff of freelancers late last year. His comments are enlightening and offer a historical context that not many NJ gun owners have been exposed to. It is our sincere hope that we can learn from the past as we march on into the future of this new year by PROTECTING gun ownership in NJ. We hope you enjoy reading Larry's timely musings as much as we enjoy editing them. ---The Editors

I dont think NJGF has the traffic for an auction to really make sense... to have 1 or 2 bidders would make no sense... just make an offer on an item for sale.

Looking at other gun auction action I think very rarely does the buyer get a good deal. Most people pay too much at auctions IMO. Buy it now prices are usually too high from what I've seen.

There is absolutely no need for an optic/red dot on an A2 being used at less than 100yds for a recreational shooter. Just my opinion...

I am thinking if I delete all of Zeke's posts that are under 3 words...... I could eliminate about 7000 posts.....

That is a big thing... I got lucky that I got the job offer first. I made my original post because I was actually on my way back from there. Maine is just an awesome state. I went up Saturday, stayed in Bangor, and drove up to Houlton the last two days (Sunday and Monday). Up to Bangor, you got a lot of Democrat/Liberal leanings, and more population (not NJ population density, but people are there). Going north of Bangor, that is where it is truely beautiful. There is a mountain off to the west of I-95 (Mount Katahdin) that is actually unreal to look at. Can look off and just see trees for as far as the eye can see. 75 mile an hour speed limit on I-95, and you haul ass up there... about an hour and a half drive. Absolutely no traffic. You’ll pass a car every so often, maybe a tractor trailer, but watching out for wildlife is more pressing than some moron texting down the highway. Saw two moose calves, and some nice sized deer. There can be traffic down by Portland and Bangor, but it takes crossing into Massachusetts for me to start getting pissed at other drivers. Maine, most of the drivers drive like me... pass someone, move over. When I got up there, I drove around to better familiarize myself with Houlton. It definitely isn’t Howell, but just a lot nicer group of people. Go to a restaurant or a Dunkin’ Donuts, and people actually are happy to interact with you. Here, maybe I just get people having bad days... but if most could just throw the drink at you, I’m sure they would. Plus, you can buy guns and booze at Walmart. I’m not a big drinker, but hey... America! Constitutional Carry is nice, as well. I was debating about buying an A5 for $350 at Cabela’s (have $175 in gift cards), but didn’t want to deal with a shotgun laying in my trunk the entire trip (if you go up there, have some good stuff but mostly overpriced; had a rack of Swiss rifles and Mosin Nagants). Would have been a nice one to make a Clyde reproduction, but I’ll consider that again later on. The real estate isn’t that bad. I saw a house on a few acres, definitely an $750,000+ property in NJ, for $350,000. Heard that it has been sitting for some time, being it is priced way too high. See others in the $250,000 range that are likely $500,000ish in NJ, which I’m sort of looking towards. But there are sub-$100,000 properties up there... decent land, ok house, which with 20% down, I’m looking at mortgage/taxes/insurance under $750 a month. Yes, not considering other utilities... but you can’t touch that in NJ. Slightly outside of Houlton, save a little more than within... but neither are in NJ realm. L/E wise, you have all levels in Houlton. Local PD, Sheriff, State Police Barracks, and then CBP/BP Stations. People I talked to up there, which was limited in the two days I was up there, don’t really worry about crime. I’m not one to leave doors open, nor not have a security system installed, but it made my girlfriend more comfortable with thinking about moving up there (has a 6 year old daughter). I’m still a little unsure about that aspect, but I got a few months to see where it goes. That being said, I know which house I would buy if it was just me going up, and could easily afford it by myself. Biggest thing... snow. My two weeks prior to FLETC is in April, so should be somewhat safe for a front-wheel drive car... but was told either all-wheel or four-wheel drive. Will be squared away by September, when I go up permanently. We left like 4:00PM yesterday, which it does start getting darker earlier than NJ, and they had a good amount of snow coming. Bangor had a dusting on vehicles, but by the time I got on the road (9:00AMish), I-95 was clear. If you do go up there... be aware of concrete dividers (like triangular curb patches) at almost all entrances/exits. I don’t know why, but I almost went the wrong way through a half dozen of them. Think it has to do with such wide “lanes,” which NJ would mean two-way traffic. Work wise, I actually got lucky from talking with people up there. Still a little short staffed, but not as bad as it was last year... so overtime is out there (not to mention 25% bonus for three years just going out there). Not a super busy Station, so I’ll be able to learn all of the different roles... which is better than doing one thing at a busier Station. Supposedly, people from that area are more sought after due to that... which I like options. Plus, if I get bored, I can do a short time (think they said 90ish days) at a busier Station. Maine might have some questionable future with Democrats getting in, but going to take a lot of work to role back a lot of their rights... and at a certain point, do Democrats really want to piss off that much of the population to turn it over within an election cycle or two (less likely if Trump appoints another Justice)? My girlfriend wanted to drive by Stephen King’s house, and her daughter asked about a sign in a local bookstore, which said to vote for Pennywise... obviously the 6 year old didn’t know about it, but explained it to my girlfriend. King might be a hell of a writer, but I completely disagree with his political views. Not trying to swing people to move to Maine, because if you don’t have a job lined up, it doesn’t seem easy to find one. But if one comes along, I wouldn’t hesitate to go up there. I actually can’t wait to go up again. Was joking with my girlfriend, but the first day I was up at Houlton, came back to the hotel in Bangor, and told her that was home. She laughed over it, but I really do feel like that.

I still say he should get what he desires and that is the SCAR 20. Screw a glorified pellet gun(22LR) LOL!

Would be good if liberals from NJ would move 50 miles East too.

I think there will be a TON of people saying that come tax time this year, when they find out that can only deduct the maximum amount of $10K on their taxes, and that's before any state income tax. There will be a whole bunch of people sending IN a check with their tax return, versus expecting a refund. Just watch the mass exodus after April.....

Remember this thread? Haiku Poems all the time. There were some good ones.

I added a UTG Bulldot green laser to mine. It's basically point and click now. I was tending to shoot low from the hip, this helps eliminate the guess work. https://www.amazon.com/UTG-Instant-Target-BullDot-Compact/dp/B00Y4QPX30

Build a second upper with a flat-top receiver. Anything else is lipstick on a pig.

That’s so true. I love my shockwave, not sure how in any way it’s practical but boy is it fun to shoot!!!

No, we are talking fully semiautomatic assault rifles here. Even more deadly than just plain semiautomatic ones. I think it's time now!

Don’t think N.J. doesn’t have this same thing queued up. As far as I know there has only been one “mass shooting” where the shooter was under 21 and legally bought the rifle used in the attack (Parkland). Also, WA wasn’t the first to pass this. Where do the other challenges stand? You kid, but the term “modern sporting rifle” is a thing. While it happens to be more accurate than “assault weapon”, it’s still NewSpeak.

8 rounds of 45 ACP still gets the job done. Tyranny still creeps every chance it gets. Some things never change.

Swanky! Love stainless and wood!

Glock 43X, or just buy a Kahr Arms. Nothing new here, yet again.

Spares to whatever your system is is always prudent.

If an anti gun business closes down, is it really a loss? Have not checked Delaware area forums but I am sure they lost a lot of gun guy and gal business with their support of anti gun legislation. The casual retail business was lost when Cabelas opened up. As Paul said, transfers are all profit and the margins on guns are exceptionally slim unless you are overpriced or catering to first time gun owners. Transfers are an opportunity for ffl to get a new body into the shop and sell high margin accessories and if they are smart... used guns.

I gladly do transfers for $20. No money to put out and all profit. It gets people in the door for the stuff that makes me money, ie ammo and accessories. Besides, guns are only marked up at most 10%, where you can make 100% on a hot accessory.

As per supplier..... We are next on the project list...... So they will be produced starting this week Will post when we get them

LOL, heard that before - then a year later they saying how they need to buy another safe because the one they have is full.

I drilled and used 3/32 coil pin. After I was done, I took my punch and tapped it in tight. 500 or so rounds later, still solid. I do need to touch it up a bit though

I strongly believe the 2A community does itself a great disservice by continuing to use the terms "large capacity" and "assault rifle". This only reinforces these words with the ignorant public and plays into the hands of the opposition.

I sincerely hope you are not finishing that lower within the confines of NJ. I had two of them and replaced them with factory frames from Big Texas Outdoors, @High Exposure recommendation. Just ordered a G3 34 lower cause I have a Zev slide that I can finish off now.

not at all, no flaming as the double standard needs to stop. Cops are civilians, they are not parmilitary or a special class. They are public servants, civilians and citizens like the rest of us. There are great cops, bad cops and mediocre cops; just like every profession on the planet. I find it amazing that anyone would claim police should be exempt while the rest of us are not.

I expect them to pass all sorts of inane shit in the house with the knowledge they won't have to face the consequences of it passing in the senate. They don't want it to pass, they just want to craft bullet points for negative campaigning.

I have large coyotes, foxes and bears in my neighborhood. I've never once thought about shooting them to deter them. The fact is, if one leaves, another will take it's place. You either learn to live with nature, or move to a city where it's been mostly killed off. I carry when working outside, keep any food out of reach and mostly have never had any real issues. The neighbors are the issue, and seem to have their garbage dumped out every so often. If they are hanging out around humans for food, shooting them with non leathal will not do much at that point. Imo, it's counter productive to get yourself caught up in legal shit over an action that will probably have little effect.

Would be like making this an assault pencil.
