One down, one to go.

You can start with Rosey here on the board. His board moniker is Smokin50. Adios, Pizza Bob

Last paragraph of the post. It is hard enough concentrating on the shooting without the addition of being a cinematographer. We'll take some still pictures of the various stages, but don't expect anything resembling George Lucas. There will be pictures up on the Kulak Arms site. Adios, Pizza Bob

That'll buff right out.

Team Kulak Debut Saturday August 22nd saw the debut of Team Kulak at the Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club (LPRGC) monthly IDPA match. This was a six stage match plus either an optional fun stage or the IDPA 5x5 classifier. All of Team Kulak elected to shoot the fun stage, which did not count in the match results, and did not adhere to IDPA rules, but was a fun way to turn dollars into noise. It consisted of three cascading targets a plate and pin rack as well as several paper targets. Team member Ed Jackowski shot a revolver (a S&W 686) this time around. I believe that this is the first time that Ed has picked up a revolver since the end of last year. He acquitted himself well, winning the revolver division beating another shooter rated Expert (Ed is rated Sharp Shooter) as well as yours truly (also rated Sharp Shooter - finished third) and another Sharp Shooter. Ed finished 24th overall out of a reported 67 shooters. Zack Becker finished the highest overall, of the three of us, finishing in seventh place and in second place within his division (Carry Optics) with his CZ P10F and a Holosun optic. As already stated, I brought up the rear, finishing third in the revolver division (sounds good until you realize there were only four shooters) and 43rd overall, shooting my S&W 625-8 PC. Our next outing should be the monthly USPSA match at Shongum Sportsmen’s Club outside of Hackettstown, NJ on Saturday September 5th.

Hey, there are only so many hours in a day. If their public education failed them, why is it my obligation to fix them? I like to pick and choose my battles. Besides, "He who lives in a glass house...." Adios, Pizza Bob

Don't get all excited. A friend of mine (who doesn't even own a gun) received these in error from Amazon. They are your basic nylon, universal holster for small to medium auto-loaders. Can be used LH or RH, IWB or OWB. Read about them here... https://www.amazon.com/OtooKing-Concealed-Universal-Waistband-Handguns/dp/B086JK83QB/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=holster%2C+b086jk83qb&qid=1598366135&sr=8-1 These are not worth the postage to ship them, so they will be pick-up only. I live in the central Jersey area near the Washington Crossing Bridge. I would also be willing to meet-up at the Starbucks on Rt 31 north of the I-295 interchange. These came as a pair, but I would prefer that two people benefit from these. Contact me via PM or e-mail: cueguyATcomcastDOTnet to make arrangements. Adios, Pizza Bob

Another necro-thread!?!? How about starting a new CURRENT thread?

Hope that you didn't go to GFH today expecting to witness that - this is a necro-thread from three years ago,

Grammar Nazi here - I think that you mean "compliment". Though both come from the Latin word complēre (meaning "to complete"), complement continues to refer to something that completes something else, while compliment has branched off to refer courtesy "especially in the form of admiration, esteem, or approval," such as when paying someone a compliment for an achievement.

I don't mean to be unkind, but why did you feel it necessary to add this? It isn't relevant to the topic and the OP's question had already been answered. We're all anxious to participate and to help our fellow gun owners, but your response just confuses the issue. Just to clarify your post - if a handgun is shipped by a private individual, they must use a common carrier (UPS or FedEx). It is the carrier's rules that require next day shipping - not a legal requirement. The least expensive way to ship a handgun is using a dealer because an FFL is allowed to ship a handgun using the USPS. Long guns can be shipped by a private individual using the USPS. Sorry for being a dick. Adios, Pizza Bob

I already have the common ones that normal people would buy. I'm after the more esoteric ones now.

Welcome to the forum. Now you need to convince your in-laws that they too are the only ones responsible for their defense. My favorite cliche is, "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away." You can start to gain a better understanding by reading through the section of the NJ Administrative Code that deals with firearms. Please note that these are not the statutes but rather a guide as to how the statutes are to be applied. https://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/njac-title13-ch54.pdf Don't forget revolvers when you are adding to your cache.

I made an honest mistake once and my dealer was contacted immediately upon submitting for a second NICS check within the 30 day time frame. The NJSP threatened all kinds of dire consequences, but when I actually spoke to someone there, they just told me not to worry. I was working under the misguided impression that a Multiple Purchase Exemption (MPE) was entirely outside the framework of OGAM. I used the MPE and a couple weeks later attempted a single purchase. Turns out that is a no-no. For those that care or may have need to use a MPE, here is how they work: The MPE can be used at any time, regardless of when your last individual purchase was made. However, once the MPE is used it resets the 30 day clock. Subsequently I have made an individual purchase and then a day or two later used the MPE - then had to wait the requisite 30 days before my next purchase. I have no idea how this individual has not been contacted and dressed down, it may just be that the NJSP are so swamped that they haven't had the time or manpower to follow-up. Adios, Pizza Bob

And thank you Rosey for the great article and all you do in support of the 2A. Adios, Pizza Bob

A lot of the details about Richie's operation will be in Rosey's forthcoming article (I think). When I was there yesterday with Rosey and Golf Battery, it was pointed out that Richie had more inventory than Cabela's in Hamburg. Golf had a recent picture from Cabela's for comparison. Check out his website: Kulak Arms Adios, Pizza Bob

While they may have dropped from a Lyman mold, those bullets are NOT Keith style bullets. Keith's design was characterized by one wide lube groove and a crimp groove - not multiple lube grooves. The most common lube for cast bullets is often a 50% mixture of Alox (a petroleum product) and 50% bees wax. A lot of the commercial bullet casters have experimented with more stable, synthetic lubes. The greatest advance in cast bullets are the coated bullets where lubricating coating is applied to the whole bullet - not just in the lube groove. Bayou Bullets pioneered the coated bullets and common ones in this area are Rogers PC bullets and Ibejiheads. The luber/sizer does exactly what the name implies - it consistently sizes the as-cast bullet to the desired diameter and extrudes lubricant into the lube grooves. Cast bullets (or the coated counterparts) are easier on the barrel and will usually attain higher velocities with the same powder charge than jacketed bullets due to less barrel friction. One of the drawbacks to cast bullets with conventional lube is that they tend to be smokey - the lube burns off. This has been greatly remedied by the use of synthetic lubes and fully coated bullets.

No, but my kids probably will, so stand by, not sure how much longer I'll last.

Thanks to OGAM I sometimes get a little backed-up at my dealer. I have two guns in OGAM limbo right now so it will probably be early October before I'll be able to get my latest. However, I do have two more in my sights, so to speak, and if they come to fruition, I'll just file for a Multiple Purchase Exemption and bring all four home at once. I bought this at auction and whoever did the catalog goofed big-time. This is a S&W Model 29-3 from 1985. It is an Elmer Keith Commemorative - if you are under 50 you may be saying, "Who the heck is Elmer Keith?" Elmer is the father of the .44 Magnum and he was honored with this special issue one year after his death. These guns have special serial numbers starting with his initials - EMK. They made a run of 2500 guns - EMK0001 through EMK2500. Guns 0101 to 2500 had smooth Goncalo Alves Magna style grips. They were embellished in gold leaf with his picture on the side plate, titles of his books and the town where he lived on the cylinder, between the flutes, and some scroll work around the roll marks on the barrel. Guns 0001 through 0100 were special. They still had essentially the same embellishments in gold leaf, only much more elaborate and they were equipped with pre-ban elephant ivory grips. The auction house had three Keith commemoratives in the auction - two of the wooden gripped guns and one of the first hundred specials. The auction estimates for all three were the same. The special one was sandwiched between the two regular issue guns and when the first one hit the block, it went for a fair price of $100 over the high estimate. That kind of dashed my hopes. The special came up. I didn't have to bid as I'd submitted an absentee bid. When the hammer fell it went for a $100 LESS than the regular one that preceded it - which meant that I had won it. The Standard Catalog of S&W (4th Edition) which is the bible for S&W collectors, states that the first 100 guns are worth two to three times as much as the regular ones. WooooHooo.

I think that we'll make our "debut" at the IDPA match at Lower Providence on Saturday, 8/22.

Thanks guys. That would be great if it weren't for OGAM. I picked up three permits today. I have absentee bids on two guns in an auction later this month. If I'm successful, I'll need at least one more. I'm fortunate that my dealer is willing to work with me. Adios, Pizza Bob

Applied via FARS on 7/7. Notified this morning, 8/4, that permits are ready for pick-up.

Give Mark Hartshorne a call... https://pinnaclehighperformance.com/ He is close enough that you can drive the gun there. Good luck. Adios, Pizza Bob

Rosey: I'd be happy to talk to you about this, as I'm sure Rich would also. I don't want to step on any forum vendor's toes though. And for Pete's sake, no pictures, we're trying to lure new people into the shooting fold, not scare them away. PM me with what your thinking. Adios, Bob
