  1. Shoot the gun from a rest at the distance, bullet weight and sight hold that you want. Then do the math and get the correct sight. https://dawsonprecision.com/sight-calculator/
  2. She has to fill out the entire seller area (block A) - except for the FID/SBI number. Keep in mind that the white and yellow copies must be mailed within 5 days of sale to the addresses listed on the permit.
  3. Probably a mink if your description of size is accurate. Larger would be an otter. Both can be found in NJ.
  4. Somerset Pediatrics They have multiple locations - I use the one in Chester. No complaints and easy to reach. http://www.somersetpeds.com/home.html
  5. Yes, it is legal for fox and coyote. Woodchucks on private land only. Call F&W directly, the numbers are on the back of your license, for questions that you may have after reading pg. 54-57 of the digest. Always best to hear it from them in order to remove any doubt or confusion.
  6. Many shooters go for trigger-pull weights down to about 2lbs. in a 1911 style gun. I will say that as long as the safeties are functioning properly, then there really shouldn't be an issue with them, IF good gun-handling skills are maintained. I watched the video, and it seems as though the shooter concluded that a M&P sear had been altered enough to cause the gun to fire. Would someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the firing pin safety prevent this from happening? To me, it appears that something more was done to have caused this, whether it was the previous owner or even her.
  7. Like the title says, need my 9mm throat lengthened to allow for a longer COAL. Don't have a problem doing it myself, but would rather not spend the $$$ for a reamer. Any gunsmiths in the west Morris/Warren county areas that would do this? Otherwise, I have to just ship it out to one. RTSP maybe? TIA
  8. What he said. 10mph wind will throw a 22 WMR off by around 25 inches, whereas a .223 will drift around 4 inches in the same wind.
  9. If you plan on practicing draws and such, there really isn't any reason that you don't use your "real" gun to do so, especially if you'd like to incorporate dry fire exercises (which would be ideal for practicing at home). As far as carrying a blue gun around town; more trouble than its worth IMO. There are even some websites that you can use for dry-fire drills, just google "computer dry fire drills" . Just be sensible and remove any and all ammo and loaded mags from the room before starting.

    Arguably the best there is : http://www.turnbullmfg.com/restoration-services/firearm-finishing/ Not in NJ, but shipping shouldn't be too bad.
  11. Post your question at the http://www.njwoodsandwater.com/ site. There are a few taxidermists there that can answer you, including Jersey Jay's mentioned above.
  12. 800 yards possible? Sure. Cheaper than buying a factory built system? Not a chance.
  13. The Hipower I can understand, but a Buckmark doesn't have a very heavy recoil spring. The Springer is (I believe) 9lb., so that should be fairly easy to rack too. Sounds like she just isn't gripping it correctly. As far as I know, I don't think you'll find a 9mm that is easier to rack than a 1911 with an 9lb. recoil spring. About the only thing you can do to lighten it up a touch is to drop the mainspring a few pounds lighter. A ~20 lb. mainspring might help quite a bit, just keep in mind that it will also lighten the trigger pull.
  14. Good choice starting with the .22. I would second the Model 41. It is one of those guns that you buy, and never feel the need to get another rimfire handgun, ever. There are not many 22's that are built as well, as accurate and IMHO as good looking as a 41. Otherwise, get the Browning, although I would forego the full-length rail. Don't think I would ever need to use it. Many of the other URX and UDX models look very nice and get fantastic reviews.
  15. Or, if you buy from dawson, he usually includes an aluminum punch for the rear sight, and a nut driver for the front. BTW - Don't forget to turn-down and lock-tite that set screw. Little buggers like to fly away after a few shots.
  16. If it shoots accurately, then the barrel is fine. The few thousandths that might be lost in the rifling wouldn't ever be felt in a bore brush. The frame and slide of your HK will crack before you wear out the barrel from shooting.
  17. Looking for opinions on an introduction training class for a female shooter (to be given as a birthday gift). I see that there is an "NRA Women on Target" class being offered at a local range, but looking for any feedback on whether or not it is worthwhile. Also, since I have handguns of my own that would like her to use, I would imagine that I would have to accompany my wife to the range for a proper transfer? Any other gotchas? Bringing her to the range and trying to teach her myself is not an option, since it seems like any instruction that I ever give results in the complete opposite being done (not to mention the inevitable argument over it).
  18. You will not be saving any money, for at least a year or two anyway. Once all of the little knick-knacks are priced into your equation, you can expect to be spending at least double of your initial investment in the press and accessories. Things like ammo boxes, calipers, case gauges, plastic bins as well as a ridiculous assortment of components (until you create pet loads), all add-up very quickly. What you will get is the ability to create loads that produce exactly the results that you're looking for; whether it be cheap plinking ammo or clean burning competition ammo.
  19. Actually went thru this last year and picked the Shield over a G43. Main reasoning for it was I thought the Shield's trigger was crisper and overall made the gun shoot more accurately for me. And while they are both about the same size, the Shield also provided for an extra round. Otherwise, I would consider them to be even in reliability, accuracy, concealability, etc.
  20. Looks pretty cool. Fully ambidextrous 1911 can't be a bad thing.
  21. Correct answer. I have done it many times, cost is almost a wash as sending USPS via an FFL. They will ship it back to you directly. Like stated, you have to go to an official UPS Customer Center, not a UPS Store. I have told them it was a firearm, and they didn't have a problem with it. Saves you the headache if it gets lost in transit. The closest to you is in Newark or Secaucus. Do not use FedEx, and definitely do not bring your gun to a post office.
  22. In a similar situation, although I have at the very least a few more months before it becomes a real concern. I am looking hard at the Gunbox 2.0. It is fairly quick access via a fingerprint scanner. Has some very good reviews, And most importantly, has an alarm if the box is moved or tampered with.
