  1. Our new dog is a purebred female English Lab. She was a field trial show dog then had pups 3x. She came to us with all the right voice commands, water target retrieval like a machine, walks great on a leash and all around great pet & house dog. She checked out fine at the vet and is a happy, healthy 90 lb. little bear. Not much of a barker but learning to answer the door. Of course, she likes riding in a truck like all good dogs will.
  2. I still have my tactical shovel, fiberglass & flashlight mount. Very effective home defense.
  3. I would not go within 10 miles of these things for my own safety and freedom. No need.
  4. I have city water in Bricktucky and an $8,000 well for irrigation. They also offer a second water meter for irrigation without sewer charges. The payback period to put in the well instead of second meter was 8 years so I am ahead now. Plus I could run the well on 220VAC if SHTF.
  5. Recommend you email the Captain or anyone else you can get from the Township website. Or write a letter, easy to do and likely to get a call back. I hate voicemail.
  6. This seems like a very knowledgeable and responsible business enterprise. They bred her a limited amount of times and time for retirement. They have a 6 females and rotate them for a reasonable supply of pups. They are very expensive. They also recommend a specific food. They don't sell it. We are getting much more comfortable with this arrangement, the more we find out about this cottage industry. I know how to break clays but nothing about breeding dogs. Although, sometimes I forget about the clay thing! Why would I shoot in front of one?
  7. I saw an AKC certificate going back 4 generations. They all have fancy names so it must be real. It sure seems like a good breeder but it's my first experience with show and competition dogs. I bet they are their own breed- the people involved as well as the dogs.
  8. Does anybody have experience getting a dog from an AKC registered breeder? Specifically, this would be a 6 year old female English Lab breeding for a well established business. I have had 2 great labs for over 10 years each and they are great dogs. We are looking for a house pet, not for breeding or hunting.
  9. My buddy called me at work and I told him the towers did not fall, maybe a piece came off. I had to Windows restaurant shortly before this, one of the nicest places in the City. My brother was on Flight 93 the day before it went down. I still avoid thinking about that day.
  10. Dirks are also "illegal" but really, WTF? I bet most prosecutors could not spell dirk. How about my law: Any edged weapon is OK unless used for an unlawful purpose? This coming from a guy that wears a sheathed bayonet WHEN I AM DIGGING WEEDS IN THE YARD!!!!!! It's a tool, not a weapon for Christ's sake.
  11. I think bare public booby is fine.
  12. If you can't beat them, join them. I am going to fill out a loan application for $9,900,000,000 with no plan for repayment and submit it for approval. Does anybody have the address for this? Thanks!
  13. I worked in Mumbai 3x and believe me there are way more disgusting places in India. I just deleted all the pictures I took, no need to remind myself how bad it was.
  14. I just bought a Firman made in America tri fuel. I plan to test it on propane and run on NG if necessary. Will post a review when she arrives and fires up. 5,500 w on NG should be OK.
  15. The 20g will be good enough to try Trap. #7-1/2 shot shells are best. Good call with the shell catcher. No need to bang the guy next to you with your trash.
  16. We are shooting trap at CJ tonight and every Thursday night from now until the end of time. If Gov. Beaver wants to shut us down, he will have to %^&*%$ me first. Start at 6 and finish between 8 & 830. Best to come early. There are about 4 guys shooting trap and 7 shooting competition birds. We use 2 fields, no waiting. $4 per 25 birds. Try to bring exact change.
  17. Sold and any moderator can drop this listing, thank you.
  18. Price drop to $350. She is ready to go and a value at this price.
  19. It was a blind sale from 2 gun shops. If they opened them up, the pieces were sitting in a recess in the stock. One seller offered "to take a look at it" but Cole is THE Beretta shop. I think the nuts backed off and the bushing thread snapped when the end of the nut bottomed against the stock counterbore. Hey, but what does a mechanical engineer know about machinery? They were still worth buying and owning. You will not see them up for sale.
  20. I bought two Berettas recently, here is the straight story. Both were older: 2002, 1992. Bought online for very good prices. Both were clean, well made and great values. The 1992 is a wide receiver model and built like a tank. I expect many years of service from these guns and I shoot often. That's the good part. 28" O/U White WIng and a trap combo set with 34" single barrel and 32" O/U 686 models. Both were about 1/3 the cost of new guns. The White Wing is a plain vanilla 686 designed for retail stores. Although they both test fired fine upon arrival, they had broken parts inside the receiver! The firing spring bushing end broke off. They would not fire the second barrel consistently. Not cool. Hey, buyer beware and they may have been like this for years. Easy fix for me- send to Cole's in Maine for complete internal rebuild. Lesson learned: Buy a used Beretta for a good price online and have the seller send it directly to Cole's for rebuild. It probably needs something, even if it is not apparent. This way you can save one shipping charge and end up with a great gun in factory new condition. The rebuild is about $300 and well worth it. Maybe a lightly shot gun would not need this but mine were well used and I plan to run thousands of rounds a year thru these firearms.
  21. Well, boating season is here. Hate to say, but it's cutting into my shooting time. It was a crappy spring and the season started late. Good to get out on the water. Who else is able to put down a gun and get out on the water? I am sailing, kayaking & rowing. Too many boats, not enough time! I have a great canoe for sale in the non-gun section. I spent more time cleaning it up over the last two years than using it. I would rather it go to someone that will use it than keep cutting the grass around her. Check it out! Here is a view of northern Barnegat Bay this week.
  22. Aluminum canoe 15' length excellent condition. Old school Scout camp style. Seats have been reinforced, keel seam sealed, doesn't leak a drop. She has proud battle scars and you can expect years of fun with this awesome craft. Great for one person or 2 adults & 2 kids. Yes, she is that stable ! New high end paddles (Thayler with epoxy tip) included with life jackets. The best part of an aluminum canoe is they stay cool on the hottest day as she slips effortlessly through the water. This fine vessel is about 30" wide; very stable. Small patch professionally installed over a slice: aluminum plate, 5200 sealant, screws and lock nuts. This is a great boat and you can sell it for what you pay when you need to move on. Available for inspection in the water Brick NJ 08724. I will meet you at a launch ramp. PM me for contact info.
  23. Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday he would sign an executive order that reopens outdoor batting cages, golf ranges, shooting ranges, horseback riding, private tennis clubs and community gardens. The openings are effective as of Friday at 6 a.m. I just pulled this off the web when I heard a rumor from my buddy. I guess we can believe it when we see it.
