    Excellent points. It's outrageous how many gun owners on this forum disagree with me on this and don't want to protect their own rights. 

    Were you expecting everyone to be on the same page as yourself?

    You'll notice that people have varying degrees of tolerance for "2A rights"; with some demanding absolutely no restrictions whatsoever and others believing that some level of vetting is prudent.

    Most fall somewhere in-between an outright ban on all firearms over .22 and allowing for private ownership of ICBMs.

    I might get flamed here, oh well.

    I have absolutely no problems with guns being removed, FID forfeited, etc. due to a restraining order. If they are being granted frivolously, then that is something that should be addressed and corrected.

    But otherwise, if someones wife/daughter/sister/mother feels that their only protection against harassment (or worse) is a restaining order, then it should be taken seriously and every precaution made until a hearing is had.

    Just curious, why do you need a back up when hunting?  357 prob wouldn't stop a beer.  More concerned with human animals?

    As with any other firearm, you choose the load to accomplish the task at hand.

    I've used a .357 numerous times as a trail gun when hunting out west, but it be loaded with Buffalo Bore 180gr. hardcasts. Rifle is usually attached to my pack without a round in the chamber; and while it only takes a few seconds to get it ready for a shot, a bear or lion may not give you that much time. Hence a loaded and holstered handgun.

    I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that they will handle bears just fine. As a matter of fact, if the area I am hunting doesn't have grizzlies, then I'll substitute a G23 with 200gr hardcasts.

    Just finished it up, and technically my first AR build.

    18" SPR barrel on Noveske matched upper and lower. Scope is a Steiner 3-15x50.

    Haven't gotten to shoot at distance yet, still breaking-in the barrel, but hopefully will get it stretched out in the next few months.

    Depending on what youth model, it may be a felony to own it if you don't have a youth hanging around.  I don't recall all of the particulars but youth rifles are somehow allowed to have an OAL shorter than federal regs allow.  The Cricket comes to mind as having been the catalyst for the discussion for which I have only a vague recollection.

    Huh?

    Can you cite some reference to this please?

    I've heard nothing but good things about the CZ rimfires. For the price, I don't think you can get a better quality rimfire. Don't get into the whole switchbarrel thing, its an added cost the will very rarely if ever be needed.

    Don't let others dissuade you from getting a bolt gun for your first .22. Contrary to popular belief, a Mark series and a 10/22 are not the end-all be-all for rimfires. I bought a Kimber 82 Hunter many years ago, and do not wish for a semi ever. I would say that it would be the ideal rifle for you, but they are not made anymore. The CZ is very close.

    Thanks! Based on what I could find, semi rifles are okay (as long as .25 caliber and under) and the magazines do not need to be permanently affixed. So, my AR would be okay…I think. However, you cannot have more than three rounds in your mag. That's what I've been able to come up with so far. emoji3.png

    That is correct, you also have to use bullets that are HP/soft-point and weigh less than 80 grains.

    The rifle permit that you are asking about has nothing to do with firearms laws; It is a hunting permit. Basically just an added expense if you already have a rifle hunting license from another state.

    Keep in mind that semi-auto rifles cannot be used for PA  big game hunting.

    Also keep in mind; while PA is a great state to hunt in, you'd be hard pressed to find a state that has a greater potential for quantitative success than NJ.

    I'm shocked no one has said Sammy's in Mendham yet.

    I've tried a few of the more famous named steakhouses but my top pick still goes to Sammy's. The way you order, sip drinks in the speakeasy while waiting for your food to be made, and then eating in the dining room is a cool experience aside from the excellent food. Shrimp scampi is ridiculous, pasta with a pound of deep fried garlic scooped on top for apps and I usually get the 48oz dry aged ribeye grilled medium. The french fries on the side are DA BOMB. Yeah I said it.

     

    That's because it is not very well known outside of the area, and hopefully will remain that way.  I must've driven by  several dozen times and wondered why so many cars were parked in their lot, and the adjacent lot before I realized that it was actually a restaurant.

    They are there to allow the shooter to remain on target/see hits and for quicker follow-up shots, at least that's what I put one on my rifle for.

    None of my hunting rifles have a brake, and they kick quite a bit more than an AR (even in 308).

    I do not have any direct experience with the Rhino, but often shoot with somebody that has several of them. IIRC - the summary is that they shoot very flat but take some getting used to. They do look very cool in person, tactical (for a revolver). The options that can be had are intriguing. A .357/9mm combo, 40S&W snubbie, 9x21 revolver, etc. are pretty rare birds.

    If you are having compliance work done anyways, you might as well just have your existing rifle be made compliant by pinning the stock and muzzle device. It would be much cheaper than buying a whole new upper and then getting your stock pinned.

    Otherwise, to answer your question, there is no issue in mixing and matching upper to lower, as long as they are both mil-spec. you "should" be fine. From a compliance standpoint, yes, it is legal to mix-n-match uppers/lowers.

    Why, asking if anyone one knows of land for sale is so taboo??

    I posted that in the OP... see below...

     

    Isn't it basically the same thing there as Range 14. You're limited at what you can shoot and can't set up any type of drills?

     

    As mentioned, there are several ranges in NJ and PA that allow for staging of targets, movement, holster work, etc.. OBRPC, CJRPC, EFGA, amongst others.

    I think folks are referring to the idea of leasing their land to allow for shooting. From a liability standpoint, it would be about the dumbest thing a landowner could possibly do.

    Purchasing your own land? Have at it, although there are many considerations that have to be met as well.

    IMO - your best bet would be to shoot some local idpa/uspsa/3-gun matches. You wouldn't have to devote the time/expense of buying gear (targets/steel/etc.), setting-up and tearing-down, maintenance.

    The only thing you should be using is...the spices you want! I'm sure you can make a great beef jerky that way, but if you make n'duja with just some paprika you're in for a bland time. 

    I stand corrected. I was unaware that the OP was smoking homemade sausage and not the typical ribs/butt/brisket/chicken that go on a smoker. :)

    As an aside, there are dozens of varieties of paprika, some of which are very mild and sweet, while others can get quite hot and spicy.

    Having a really hard time finally deciding on a scope for my AR build. Purpose is for general range use, and occasional predator/medium-size game hunting. Range will be anything out to around 5-600 yards. I will pretty much never be using the reticle for ranging, so SFP vs FFP isn't a huge concern.

    I think that i've narrowed it down to the following:

    Nightforce NXS 2.5x10x42mm
    Illuminated MOAR reticle
    Weight:20oz
    Lightweight, compact (12"), SFP

    Nightforce NXS 3x15x50mm
    Illuminated MOAR reticle
    Weight:30oz
    Heavy, long (14.7"), SFP

    Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50mm
    SCR MOA reticle
    Weight:30oz
    Heavy, compact (13.1"), FFP

     

    Right now, the Steiner is in the lead...Anybody have other recommendations?
