226 in any caliber plus the caliber conversion kits for the other available calibers. Then you have 9mm, .40, & .357 sig and .22 Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Technically couldn't you use it to acquire c&r handguns while out of state? Since nj's permit to purchase requirement would not apply outside of its borders? Normally you could not do this since handguns must be bought in your state of residence, but with a c&r permit you can for instance buy from a dealer over the counter in another state. That would include c&r eligible handguns, right? From what I hear the atf won't issue a c&r to nj residents. Even though it is mentioned in the one firearm a month law passed by nj as an exception and therefore presumably recognized as something a nj resident could have. Does anyone here even have a c&r license? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Bear in mind that the legal regime under which we transfer long guns was set in place in the 1960s, when they didn't even issue photo driver licenses back then. A driver license with no picture and just your name and height and eye color and hair color was good enough until the 2000s in NJ. It was not even until after 9/11 that NJ required photo driver licenses, you had to pay *extra* for that. Moral of the story is don't get bent out of shape over photocopying driver licenses and FIDs. Satisfy yourself that the person you are dealing with is who he says he is, and that his documents are authentic, and then execute a COE. You don't need to do anything more than that.

Be ready to argue that the overnight stay was reasonable in order to be fresh for competition the next morning and or to avoid driving back in a fatigued state after the competition is concluded. Otherwise your friend might be in a pickle. If he stays to socialize then our laws might make it a felony. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Isn't there another exemption for a member of a shooting club that submits its membership list? Might want to look that up and see if your friend is a member of such a club. The language on that exemption is more generous in terms of deviations. That is why I keep my ANJRPC card on me. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

My card from the 90s worked. Once they input the info into the computer you are set. It is all a database now. After you are entered in the station by a license issuer you can renew through the internet. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Might be easier and more comfortable if he arranges to leave his gun at the range overnight if the range operator is a dealer. Then he can stay the night and pick it up in the morning to go home. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

My dad's bow was spray painted too, and I could see the cracks - if the bow cracks you can be pretty sure the paint will also. So as long as you can't see any cracks it should be good.

Definitely get it restrung and make sure you check for cracks around where the cams connect to the bow, and where the cable ends are at the top and bottom of the bow. I just got my dad's out to use this season and found cracks that would make it dangerous to even draw back, it could have blown itself to bits if I pulled it back, I had to throw it out. The good news is I got a really nice old Fred Bear compound bow for $90 used on Craigslist. Old bows are great but make sure you check them for cracks and change the strings!

I had this happen to me with a Ruger Mark II and thunderbolts. Took me a while to figure out what happened. What I think happened is that I left the rounds in the sun for a while, they got really really hot and all the lubrication on the lead bullets essentially dripped and wicked off of the bullets. Thunderbolts aren't plated so they require lube to keep them sliding through the barrel without smearing lead all over the place. When you are shooting lead without any plating or jacketing on it, it needs lube. So if you left your thunderbolts in direct sunlight for a while, there's your problem. In the future, shoot plated rounds or if you shoot lead keep them in the shade so the lube stays intact. You might be able to save the rounds you currently have by rubbing some crisco on the bullets before loading.

Perhaps people seeking references should so declare here so they can get together and shoot a bit and then be each others mutual reference. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

If you are handy rig up a small side shaft engine off a snowblower or from harbor freight tools to a car alternator with a belt and pulley, you can use wood to mount everything, and then you can charge your storage battery during an extended power outage. Instead of wasting gas running a generator continuously, you can just run your charger for a couple of hours once or twice a day to charge the battery or batteries back up. Much easier and quieter and burns much less gas.

Someday a manufacturer is going to design a line of firearms with a woman in mind, and they are going to make a mint.

I have one of those but never take it apart more than removing cylinder and nipples when cleaning. Pouring boiling water through the innards and oiling once dry is good enough I figure. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

For all you who said he should have cleaned it anyhow, you overlook that when you shoot corrosive primed ammo you have to clean with water to flush out the salts. Just regular clp or rem oil won't neutralize the corrosive salts - you will still get rust even if you clean with those. Standard operating procedure before noncorrosive ammo came out 60 years ago was literally a water wash of the bore and bolt face and gas system if there is one. So are you saying that you always pour water or windex down the bore or on the bolt face afyer you finish shooting for the day, even when the ammo is marked noncorrosive? I dont do that unless there is a reason-unless i know i am shooting corrosive rounds. Cabelas should apologize and look into it, not brush the customer off. If true this is a big no no by the manufacturer which so happens to be the Russians. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

You can shoot pistol at the rifle range. I do it all the time! Good opportunity to see how you do at 50 and 100 yards from supported positions. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Even if his gun were NJ legal, without a NJ FPID he couldn't bring it to your house anyhow, unless your house was a range. If he got pulled over he would be an instant felon.

Good call. Mace is legal in NJ NY and PA. Dont leave home without it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

The hipoint carbine uses the firing pin as the ejector. So when you extract a live round, it is knocked off of the extractor by the firing pin slamming against the primer of a live round. These guns are prone to bend firing pins as a result. Not to mention the potential for out of battery explosion on unloading. When I saw this I sold mine. A bad design in my opinion.

How much did you spend in ammo to trial and error fix those? In the end it is stoll probably cheaper to just pay for quality. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Just finished shooting Lake City manufactured 30-06 ammo out of my M1 that was manufactured in 1969. No problem. The only issue you should concern yourself with is ammo from the 1950s and earlier probably has corrosive primers and needs to be cleaned with water immediately after firing to avoid corrosion to your barrel.

Nappen won on a federal preemption case involving airguns which basically ended in a ruling that some NJ laws on airguns other than sale and carry are thrown out. For instance magazine capacity limits do not apply to airguns after that case. Might apply to suppressors on airguns too. Might not. So the advice from fish and game might not be right, although I could see a ban on suppressors for hunting being upheld as a hunting regulation. As usual it is so unclear nobody can figure it all out. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Even assuming the feds confirm a name is on the list they would have to provide further info to confirm identity beyond a name. If John Smith is on the list that doesn't mean every John Smith in NJ is suddenly barred. The feds would have to open the John Smith file to disclose the particulars of how Smith got on the list and a description and ID numbers and all of that. Are the feds gonna do that? Evan Nappen has got another case going to the NJ Supreme Court if someone gets barred on the basis of a mere name match, that is for sure. In essence this bill gives an instant, secret and totally unreviewable discretionary denial to the feds over anyone in NJ. They could stop permit issuance entirely by just adding every name to the list who applies. Without any standards as how to get on the list it could be done easily. At the very least it allows feds to google and NSA data mine every applicant as they apply. This bill was passed before Snowden leaked the data on the NSA remember. We only recently have discovered that the tinfoil hat crowd was not far off in terms of what levels of surveillance and snooping our government is doing. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Does Cabelas have any .22 ammo on its shelves?

Here is the bill: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2012/Bills/A4000/3717_R2.HTM The bill is essentially an amendment of an earlier enacted statute, so the new stuff is in brackets and underlined. It is very vague. It basically 1) adds an exception to the confidentiality of mental health records (to allow them to be transmitted to the NICS system), 2) says that the records the state does have shall be transmitted to NICS, and 3) says that the NJ Attorney General needs to work with the Superintendent of the State Police and the Administrative Office of the Courts to determine who is barred under federal or state law from possessing firearms, and transmit that to the NICS system. So it is very very vague. I wonder what, if anything, NICS is going to be able to do with (2) above - a huge stack of miscellaneous records. Are they going to comb through them and try and find names? The big thing here is (3) above. The NJSP, NJAG and NJ Court Administrative Office is going to get together and comb the medical records and grab names and submit them to NICS. This could turn into a huge dump of names. If these records lack social security numbers or driver license numbers, a lot of people are going to have their names added to the NICS banned list because they have the same name as someone appearing in one of these records. The statute doesn't say how far back they are going to go, and how specifically the records have to ID the person beyond simple name. No indication that they need to identify a SS number or DL number, or anything else. There is no standard in the bill as to how definitely someone has to be identified by the records, or whether they were committed by a judge or sought treatment on a voluntary basis, whether they were actually staying at the place or just an outpatient, or anything really. This could just turn out to be one huge dump of names into the NICS system. Doesn't look like private psychologist records would be affected here though. It only addresses people getting help in a "noncorrectional instutiton under Title 30 of the Revised Statutes" which I believe are NJ State psychiatric facilities.
