  1. For me, it will surely be a stainless Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum 7.5" bbl thanks to dayattherange.com for this photo
  2. You should probably separate your brass prep and reloading operations. Once you're working with ready-to-go brass, your multi-stage press should cruise along nicely.
  3. I've cast for 8mm mauser 175gr RN GCs, loaded with the Harris load of 16-17gr of 2400, nice no-bruise hunting load. Cast boolits knock the crap out of a deer when you hit it.
  4. My Remington 721 has the lowest serial number of any Rem 721 in .270 Win that is registered on the Remington Society forum. It was manufactured in 1948. 721's don't show the beauty of an old model 77, but the craftsmanship is there as is the accuracy.
  5. I believe that you can use a muzzle loader instead of a shotgun for deer during the regular deer firearm season. Teach your kid to make one shot count and he will find a scoped muzzleloader is a whole lot more fun and accurate than a shotgun. I can't justify the cost of a NJ muzzleloader permit for an extra couple days of hunting for their muzzleloader season. For deer in a rifle permitting state, I use either my scoped Winchester M77 in 270WSM or a Remington 721 in .270 Winchester with a William's FP rear peep and front firesight. I killed my first and many more deer with my Remington 870. You can't go wrong with one of those, but plinking at the range with one is not much fun.
  6. I reported the same on another website, and I was called out on it. The closing of that plant is not the end of lead in the US. Read on... http://sierrabullets.wordpress.com/2013/11/01/sierra-responds-how-will-the-closure-of-the-lead-smelting-plant-affect-sierra-bullets/
  7. My first gun ever was a Ruger Security Six back in 1981, the day I turned 21. It is a stout pistol and I still own and shoot it. It will outlive me and I'll pass it down to my son or daughter if one of them wants it. Since then, I have bought a S&W 1917 Govt 45acp revolver and a pre-29 .44 Mag. Both of them are fun and accurate to shoot and the trigger on the pre-29 is unbeatable. That said, I have just put in for a P2P and I am going to add a 2nd Ruger to the club. I am looking at a Redhawk .44 7 1/2" as the new addition. If you look in some loading manuals, there are loads designated for Ruger revolvers only. If you ask me to read into that, I'd say that the Ruger design is indeed stronger than the Smith.
  8. I am partial to my CZ-82 which I got from AIM Surplus for $190. I put an additional $159 in hard chrome from Mahovsky, and $90 in Marschal grips. It is a great shooter and very accurate.
  9. I have a Konus 20-60x 80mm also. It is a low end scope that performs very well. You can spend 10x that for quality optics, decide on what your needs are and spend as much as you can afford.
  10. In such a firearm unfriendly state, I would proceed with extreme caution. If you really want to try to keep them, seek assistance from a good NJ attorney that specializes in firearms. No matter what you may think that they are worth, they are not worth prison time and also losing your right to own firearms. I'd be suprised if NJ LE can't get the identity of any forum member posing a what should I do question on this forum, and for that reason, I'd even be more cautious. You are in possession of handguns that admittedly don't belong to you. That already sounds like shaky ground to be standing on...
  11. Are the pigs wild or farmed? Are the odds of harvesting good? What kind of terrain is the hunt located in?
  12. I live in a state where political corruption is rampant. The elite majority of liberal politicians see their position of power as a means to make themselves rich at the expense of the working class and the elderly, many of whom keep them in power. They just can't wait to get back into the governor's office so they can get back to business as usual and take more of my money and gun rights away. GET OUT AND VOTE ON WEDNESDAY!
  13. I worked as a chef for years and tried all the gimmicks and fancy sharpening systems. I ended up with a Norton triple stone http://www.mscdirect.com/product/05139001?src=pla&008=-99&007=Search&pcrid=25122928984&006=25122928984&005=53303976304&004=7506847984&002=2167139&mkwid=s4VKG3d0U%7Cdc&cid=PLA-Google-PLA+-+Test_s4VKG3d0U_PLA__25122928984_c_S&026=-99&025=c which is the last knife sharpener that 'll ever need. They make a shorter version which costs a lot less. http://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Sharpening-Systems-and-Kits-P31C18.aspx?gclid=CNHTjKCziroCFY-Z4AodGWYApA
  14. I'd have to suggest a wheelgun, and the GP-100 would be a nice choice. I think that my next pistol will be a Ruger revolver, Either a Redhawk .44 5 1/2" or a GP-100 .357 3". I'll likely go for the .44 since I just started casting and reloading for my S&W pre-29.
  15. I put an Interlok kit on my breaker box and an outlet on the outside of my house. I really want to get a natural gas/propane adapter so the generator will run off of 3 different fuels. Natural gas service was never disrupted during Sandy. The most difficult aspect of getting natural gas to where my generator will run is that a 3/4" pipe is needed to feed sufficient gas to run a 10hp motor. The natural gas/propane adapter only runs about $200. Keep in mind that you need to modify the ground for the generator wiring so that the common and the ground are only connected in one place at the breaker panel, not at both the the outlet of the generator and the breaker panel.
  16. My bro is liberal and married a devout tree hugger. He has popped the "Who needs an AR-15" question on me before, but he and his wife have never turned down any venison that I have offered them.
  17. I did it myself and it was a real PIA. Ideally, you should insulate the sleeve. In my case, I wrapped the sleeve and found that there wasn't enough clearance in the middle of the chimney, so I had to pull everything out and remove the insulation and toss it away. The cap on your chimney that usually comes with a sleeve eliminated any drafts and heat loss from around the sleeve. To get the sleeve down your chimney, you need to pretty much stand on the flat area on the top of your chimney and feed the sleeve in while someone pulls a rope attached to the bottom from the fireplace end of the flue at the same time. A friend who was a roofer helped me feed from the top which was a big help. If you do it yourself, get a chimney company to inspect it for you before you use it. There are caps that have a spring loaded damper that are controlled by a string or chain that drops down between the chimney and the flue to just above the stove. These are the best to prevent heat loss up your new flue sleeve when the stove is not being used. I loved my wood stove and it saved a lot of money on heating bills, but that house is gone now. Get a permit and if you aren't up for the adventure pay a company to do it; you will get your money back in heat savings eventually.
  18. H&K has a striker fired pistol called the P7 PSP and other P7 variants like the P7 M8, and they are awesome. They are not polymer and are heavy because the frame is CNC milled from a single billet of high quality German steel, but they are super reliable, accurate, and dependable, just like all H&Ks. I've heard rumor of a striker fire polymer, but I have no idea when and if they will release one. As far as polymer goes, I am a big fan of my H&K USPc .45 and my USP Tactical .45 . I've never owned a Glock but I hear that some people like them
  19. They are nice rifles but they are single shot target rifles for a single purpose, plus too heavy for a kid to use. I don't need one.
  20. I live in Denville and I inquired with the local PD about shooting a bow in my yard. They said that it was legal as long as I was 150ft from another residence. If not, I'd have to get the neighbors' permission first.
  21. It is funny, I have made many online purchases, and never have I avoided using an FFL for a transfer. I just have to wonder how they get this: his office found that background checks aren't done in a majority of Internet firearm transactions~~ I think it is a typical liberal argumentative tactic of making a blatantly incorrect statement with no justification or support, and then just rolling with it to see how far it will take them.
  22. A Saiga is a AK type gun but they are legal in NJ. A would agree, that until the rifle is assembled, it is just a pile of parts. You need to be sure that when you assemble the receiver to your parts that you only have one other evil feature. Detachable mag plus one evil feature does not equal regulated assault style rifle.
  23. Saw a bobcat crossing the road while entering the Picatinny Arsenal 2 weeks ago. They are definitely here.
