I wasn’t thinking about buying a new gun. Really. It just kinda…happened. There I was, at GT Distributors, minding my own business, when out of nowhere, came this police trade in Glock 19.. $309, with 3 mags! I mean, I couldn’t NOT buy it, it was so cheap! That’s how I explained it to Mrs Tex, anyway. Now it’s dressed up as a clone of my carry gun.

This mindset baffles me. Shooting is a depreciating skill. If you don't practice, you will become worse at it. If you value your life enough to want to defend it, why would you rely on a skill that you don't practice? If the best I can do on a good day is scrape a pass on CCARE, I would be determined to get better at shooting - and yes I did see that you scored 98% - but your attitude appears to be that you shouldn't have to practice first. Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you mean that the government should not mandate that you have to meet any kind of standard before you can carry. I agree. There should not be any mandated quals. However, only a fool would be carrying a gun he can't use effectively. It does little to protect himself and creates a danger to everyone else because the misses will go on to hit something or someone after they miss the intended target.

There is a lot of crappy factory ammo out there. A name like Remington and you cant even trust them with your life. A few different instructors told me that they have been seeing some real shit ammo too. For me...I'll continue to make my own. I know it works. ALL of them.

***PRICE DROP*** I have a like new (only zeroed) PSA Sabre KAC M110 Clone in 7.62x51mm. This is PSA's clone version of the infamous Knights Armament M110. Very high quality, excellent 2 stage trigger, 20" chrome lined barrel, adjustable gas block, and is NJ legal with a pinned Surefire SOCOM muzzle brake. Radian Raptor charging handle and Radian ambi safety. Upper and lower are billet receivers compatible with all KAC SR-25 and LMT MWS/MARS-H pattern receivers. Im no where close to being a long range shooter but ive been able to get 0.7 MOA out of it with 175gr federal gold medal match ammo and Im sure the rifle is capable of much better accuracy. Asking $1550 (which is a steal for what you get) at any FFL thats a reasonable distance from Jersey City. I can also ship but that would be on your dime. Optic/bipod etc not included but can be purchased if interested. Vortex Razor Gen-II HD 3-18x50 FFP with the new EBR-7C MRAD illuminated reticle in a 1.54 reptilia mount. Id include the optic for another $1700. Happy to answer any questions or provide more pictures. Not interested in any trades. Thank you.

Today is 4-27

Pretty good chance we'll be out of here by mid-summer! It's so close I can taste the freedom.

That’s 535 of the most useless bastards I’ve ever seen.

Marlin JM 1894 in .38/.357: still need to get the optic and new iron sights mounted Marlin JM 1894 in .44:

The 12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the ZL1 was a all aluminum 12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

Reloading is just following a recipe! You are obviously a natural! Just do it!

Just try another type of ammo immediately so you know for sure if it is just that ammo or the gun.

It’s possible it’s the ammo. Try a box of something from Federal-Federal primers are known to be the ‘softest’. If you get misfires still, the gun is again the prime suspect of course you’ll ultimately want it to run with any ammo, but I’ve known revolvers that can’t seem to get to 100% ignition double action with any other primer

OK let me explain. If you use your 9MM to qualify you will probably need to practice before you qualify so you go through 125 rds of ammo. Using expensive 9mm ammunition that's probably close to $0.40 around is costly. If you used your .22 LR pistol the price drops to less than 10 cents a round. I easily qualified with my Glock 226 ( 1 miss out of 50) but burned up a lot of ammo practicing. We should not be required to qualify to exercise a constitutional right and it should not cost a few hundred dollars to do so.

27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford, 47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving. Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get. Tax and spend is all they know. Never cut anything. This state sucks.

But they're Biden's cronies.

I will take the LWRC for $1100 if still avail....sending PM.

Sunday May 5th 2024 Don't get caught with your pants down. Practice now. Shooting commences at 0900 and keeps going until we get bored, run out of ammo, or hear mom calling us home. Shoots go until at least 1300, leaving plenty of time for everyone to stop in at any time and join the party. As always, these clay shoots are informal gatherings, just plain good fun to promote shooting sports and encourage training. Please feel free to bring friends and family. Shooters of all experience are welcome, if you have never shot clays before, or want some tips on improving your skills, this is your chance to dust off that shotgun sitting in a dark corner of your closet and gain some needed experience. What you will need. Bring your shotgun(s), as much #7.5 or #8 lead target/field loads as you want to shoot, and depending on how much you want to shoot, a carton of clay pigeons would be great. Targets (ie. clay pigeons) are available at Solomon's Shooter Supply in Farmingdale. Some Walmarts carry targets. Sadly, Shooters, as we knew it, is closed and has become Shooters Hardware, relocated to 218 Main St, West Creek, NJ, 08092. Don't forget eyes and ears. Also recommended is a chair, sun screen, insect repellent, and something to drink. I will be bringing an automatic trap machine, if you have a thrower, please bring it as a backup or second station. If you don't have a shotgun and just want to see what clay shoot'n is all about, a loaner shotgun will be available. For those who plan on shooting rifles, you must have a firearms hunting license, or be on the rifle range with someone that has a license. In addition to the traditional rimfire and muzzle loaders, Stafford now allows center-fire up to .30 caliber. Basic Checklist Shotgun and/or rifle Ammo Firearm hunting license, if you have one (not mandatory, just helpful) Eye and ear protection (mandatory) Clay targets (optional but recommended for volume shooters) Shell pouch (optional) Folding chair (optional) Hydration County Rd 539, Barnegat, NJ 08005, USA , Little Egg Harbor Township.

Ha! The joke's on them! We don't need their help to destroy our infrastructure lol!

Good. Hopefully they will pay the legal fees when they lose Carry Killer bill and Mag Restriction and AWB ban cases.

$4.00 by June/July $3.25 By Sept/Oct, just in time for Election. Any predictions?

I've been messing around lately trying to figure out the usefulness of hand held radios. Realistically without a repeater expect 0.5-1.0miles in typical terrain (houses, trees, mountains). Unless you have completely unobstructed view and no interference (mountain top to mountain top, over water, etc) , you aren't going to get multiple mile range. Using a repeater, you can probably go up to 25 miles. This really depends on where the repeater is located and if your radio can reach it. Because repeaters are usually on top of mountains with large antennas and lots of power, you can usually be able to hear them. To be able to have 2 way communication with someone your radio needs to be able to reach the repeater. Because they are up higher with larger antenna's it is easier for your radio to reach them at greater distances. For example, you may not be able to reach someone 2 miles away in simplex mode (same channel, direct communication, no repeater), but could talk to them if you use a repeater 10 miles away. The challenge is find repeaters in your area that you and the party you want to communicate with can reach and use. There are many sites that list repeaters: (note that unless you have a digital radio, you cannot use digital repeaters, so just look for FM repeaters. MyGMRS.com (requires payment to get the tone info, but you can use a scanner to find them. see below) RepeaterBook.com - NJ RadioReference.com - NJ ARRL.org (uses RFinder.net) - requires subscription I found the RepeaterBook phone app to actually work well. Unfortunately I've found that they are woefully not up to date. Many either aren't working, aren't used, or even though they should be in range, apparently I am not. Also I have found (by using a scanner) that there are many that aren't even listed. The best way I've found to see what is actually in range is to use a good scanner (a real one, not the scanning feature of your Baofeng). You will need one that can detect CTSS/DCS tones. Repeaters use these codes to open up the channel and rebroadcast your input. Without these codes, even if you transmit on their input frequencies they will not repeat. Basically in order to use a repeater, you need to know their transmit (TX) frequency, receive frequency (RX, usually listed as either a + or - offset from the the repeaters transmit frequency), and their RX CTSS Tone or DCS Code. Some repeaters do not use tones or codes and so their tone/code will be listed as CSQ. Once you find the repeaters and their receive offset and tones, you can program them in your radio with the CHIRP (or similar) software.

When a pearl necklace just isn't enough.

These Libtards really are morons. They leave a screwed up state and then vote for the same bullshit when they move to a state that they thought was a great place to live. "Stupid is as stupid does".

A good antenna can be more important than power output. Plus power output and range is mostly exaggerated. If you want a decent but cheap (~$25) radio get a Baofeng UV-5R (or whatever is latest version). They have models that are 8 or 10W (not likely, but are probably over 5W though), and have replaceable antenna's. This will be significantly better than your typical GMRS radio, and with a decent antenna and programming can be almost as good as much more expensive radios. Legal notice: IMNAL, but technically they are illegal to use on FRS/GMRS channels because of the power output and swappable antenna. You could technically program the power output to be compliant for each channel, but a swappable antenna is technically not allowed for FRS/GMRS radios. Never heard of anyone getting in trouble using one though. I've also heard that these are illegal for HAM use because they can transmit on UHF and VHF. Again, who is going to know or care (besides the very anal ham operators)? But they are in common use and would be a good starter UHF/VHF radio before sinking a ton of money into pro grade radios. You could legally use them on MERS channels with good results. Again, these will be significantly better than your typical GMRS radio, and with a decent antenna and programming can be almost as good as much more expensive radios.

For those who do not have experience with two way radio beyond GI Joe walkie-talkies, y'all need to understand something if you are planning on using radio comms in a SHTF scenario. A single $30.00 BeefWang is not going to save you from anything. You need a plan, base stations, repeaters, mobiles and a network of trained (and trusted) individuals to support a SHTF comms scheme.

People don't face the DA in court unless they have been charged with something. I smell something fishy about this story.

Read the label on the bottle; it will tell you if it's kosher or not. (I figured it was time for some actual snark to appear in this thread)
