  1. I ordered from them on 6/4, received a shipping conformation on 6/5 and my order should be here tomorrow. I am a Prime member so that may get me faster shipping times, and I am in Pennsylvania but that should not matter.
  2. I am not for any type of fear mongering and I absolutely HATE political speculation and conspiracy theory bull crap even more, but this is right here is currently happening right under our noses and is being supported by our own "allies" which are proving worse then our enemies. Watch it, don't watch it I really don't care but you all the people in gun friendly states better stop thinking that it's only "liberals" and their **** Hole" states like NJ/NY that are going to suffer the consequences of what's going on now. Spend your money more wisely in the future and make sure those who you support whether it be a 2A org or a Gun channel get on board and start advocating for their members against this unlawful garbage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMw0g7m8IVE This was a live chat MAC did earlier today with an EX ATF insider who is extremely no compromise gun control and knowledgeable of what's going on right now. There is too much good information to give the cliff notes so take an hour of your time and watch/listen to it then take action. Contact your Senators, Congress Critters, and the White House as well as sign the ATF petition linked below. https://gunowners.org/alert1102018.htm https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ Here's what I just wrote the WH feel free to use it as a template or in it's entirety if you wish. Maybe 1 or 2 will fall on deaf ears but its far from a waste of time when thousands of people are sending their opinions and standing up for their Federal rights and cashing in on the promises made. Sorry for the blocked profanity as you can see I am really amped up over this.
  3. You poor bastards stuck behind enemy lines have a whole lot to start worrying about. From your new fearless and brainless leader. Murphy can piss up a rope if he thinks he is going to start getting PA's laws changed just because who he thinks he is. We have our own Anti gun Gov and AG who haven't been able to do a god damn thing without getting slapped down over it. Good luck on trying to amend the PA state Constitution, and god be with the good people of NJ who didn't ask for this or deserve it.
  4. Office supply documentation via bound books and compliance checks by the state police.
  5. If you own a semi auto rifle then all your pants must be converted to elastic waist bands and belt loops removed by a certified Taylor. You must also have your thumbs removed at the knuckle.
  6. I spoke with Donna via email about a week ago after donating to her lawyer. She took my advise and switched lawyers to Even Napen and she has also spoken with Shaneen Allen regarding the outcome of her case. This is a good woman with no prior trouble as well as a veteran of the armed forces being treated like a common criminal and it's disgusting. While she did unknowingly break the law the punishment does not fit her crime and what the state is doing is criminal. She is trying to raise enough to pay the lawyer fees for the start of the process and is far from that goal. I advised her to contact the NRA because she is a member but it's u likely they will do much for her except to use her story in their publications to solicit more eye for themselves. The GOA.and the NJ2A foundation was her next stop and hopefully they can somehow help. I'm not much for E begging a d crowd funding but this case is special to me as well as all gun owners in and around the states that would imprison law abiding citizens for practicing our supposed federally protected 2nd Amendment rights. Check out the pictures in the link of her supposed tint and rearview mirror obstruction that a traffic office happened to notice at 8:30 PM while she was moving. Donate and share with your online social media community. https://www.gofundme.com/donna-gracey-nj-weapon-defence
  7. Being they they banned possession of something that was already illegal to use what did anyone really gain here besides a gross waste of tax dollars and a photo op for NJ politicians to give to the sheeple? Reading some older articles earlier tonight that came out after the Vegas shooting it seems a few NJ gun shop owners were for banning them on a state and federal level because machine guns are evil and such. I wonder if they will sleep better at night after the new 5 round mag limit is passed? I mean less rounds means less bullets which equals a slower rate of fire. Seems like the firearms buyers in NJ need to choose their vendors more wisely there are enough anti's in the gov no need to keep others in business.
  8. The extra wear to the extractor is minimal compared to brass cased ammunition and again you can replace an extractor for a few bucks in a few minutes time. I reload most of my steel cased ammunition with either rifle berdan primers or they can be converted to boxer primers with a few extra one times steps and then be reloaded as boxer from there out. I have not had any real issues with steel pistol ammunition, TUL is the cheapest one there is with the worst QC. Occasionally I will get a hard primer but the 2nd strike will fire it. I have one pistol that just doesn't seem to like it possible trouble with FP protrusion but that's the only real issue I have had with it. I shoot nearly 500 rounds a week mostly pistol. Shooting brass would cost me at least $30.00-$40.00 more per 500 round case the cost VS wear doesn't compare since there has been next to none.
  9. I like the CCW app because you can place all the permits you have in and it will allow you to see a list of do's and donts for each state, it's excellent if you are traveling from state to state. Even if a state allowes you to carry they may not in resturants that serve booze and other things it can all be found on the go in secounds. I have never looked at the link you posted I will check it out.
  10. Down load the CCW APP for .99 on apple or android, it's updated every day with all changing information and the state laws on CC.
  11. Wannt shoot steel cased ammunition with no troubles then get your AR fixed, Watch the below Video and pay atention around the 2:30 sec mark. Your trouble is either that or it's going to be with my 2nd link. http://www.murraysguns.com/223vs556.htm Ben Murray is one of the best old time gun smiths left in the country, I have known him for awhile from my dealings with the SKS, guarantees if your rifle is out of spec once it's corrected you will be capable of shooing all ammo types in brass or steel. As far as increased wear for the price of 5k rounds of decent brass ammo I can shoot about 10k of steel then replace the extractor and barrel and most likely still be under what one would have paid for the 5k of brass espically in todays current market. I shoot pistol and rifle about 3 times a week so I use nothing but steel cased ammo even in my EDC when I train.
  12. Tom is a great guy, has a ton of knowledge and info on all firearms a real collector which are the kind of guy's I like to deal with. Met up with him over this past weekend and made a deal then had a nice chat about all things firearms. I would not hesitate to try his services out.
  13. I like them, I just wish they had them with a key pad for quicker access in an emergency rather then a standard key.
  14. All I did was clean it when I got it, it was soaked in cosmo like nothing else I have ever seen. The stock has not been refinished is does have a few dings and dents but not as bad as some others out there. Here's what It looked like when I got it.
  15. I live in NE PA and have oil heat, I removed the gas/propane fireplace and upgraded to a pellet stove. Wood was going to be my 1st choice but after speaking to several neighbors along with the store pellets are way more effecient, cleaner and burn at a more even rate compared too wood. A wood stove installed would have been the same cost as the pellet so there was nothing in it for the store to sell me the pellet. The cost of pellets is not that bad at all if you buy by ton which I did. i set the thermostate at the temp I want and it's heats 90% of a 3500 sq house. I am having it put onto my back up pannel for generator this week so it can remain out primary heat source all the time.
  16. What it comes down is to what you are getting for the amount you are spending, in this case you are getting a basic SR1911 with a pretty finish and fancy grips. In my opinion the basic SR1911 isnt all that impressive to start with so if your going to spend 1k get a 1911 that gives you the upgrades that matter on the fireing line and in the reliability dpt and not in the safe queen dpt.
  17. Yeah back in Vietnam as for today no they do not, at least accoring to every recent book I have read written by a Seal. They go with as much firepower in the smallet package many of them carry the military verizion of the USP .40. However LA Swat does or at lease did work with the 1911 platform.
  18. $400.00 hasn't been an average price in a long time, at least several years before Sandy hook. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=364639502
  19. C&R license in 3 weeks after arriving, LTCF 4 weks after moving, 30 round mags, shooting any gun I want on my own land, paper work in for 2 suppressors as of last week. I guess I cant really complain too much too be honest with ya. Ohh yeah the commute to work sucks but it's a small trade off.
  20. The Alby sks's are never shown the respect they deserve on gunbroker for some reason, they are often over looked and forgotten by most casual sks buyers. Making it good for guy's like me who collect all things SKS, that being said an excellent Alby condition with matchng numbers would be a good deal at $500.00. You would really need to dazzle me with a Alby at $700.00 but I have seen some inbetween that were worth their price tag. $400.00 is a steel and quite frankly the seller is an idiot if it's that nice. Cograts too you. Hodgie
  21. They are nice but can be hit or miss from what I see, a family member of mine has a suppressed one his runs good but it's very ammo picky. Others have that issue mixed with extraction troubles, the SR22 is very nice and along the same lines as the Walther and it's much more reliable from what I read. I handled a few but opted for the S&W because it's a full size exact clone of the M&P9 without the adjustable back straps. The S&W also came stadard with a threaded barrel and in the ruger that was a $50.00 upgraded option.

    357 lever gun

    I have a Henry .357 Big boy MIM or not it's a fine shooting gun, cycles smooth feeds all types of .357 and after 500 or so rounds still have never failed to imporess me with it's accuracy and ease of use. The only thing I which it had was rear loading capibaily but you cant always get everyting you want.
  23. The S&W M&P 22lr as mentiond above has 10 and 12 round mag's just prepared never to be able to find them and when you do pay $50.00 each for them. Little secret though just by the 10 rounders and remove the mag spring block and make the cheaper easier to find 10 a 12 in about 20 sec with absoutly no tools at all. All in all it's a fine little plinker Im not a smith semi auto fan but they well really Walther made a very good reliable 22lr plinker.
  24. If it's a sears double or single barrel it's worh less then $100.00 most likely. I have restored a mess of these and it's not very hard to do yourself. Invest the funds in some simple tools, small blast cabinet, media and a black oxide dip kit from caswell and you still can get it done for less then you will pay a gun smith to so a simple job.
