Myself and three of my buddies had an all day class with them at RTSP a while back. We had about an hour of class room then we were in the range for most of the day. Did a good deal of speed shooting with pistols. Also did a ton of tactical shooting and shooting on the move. Our instructor was an active duty Ranger. Also a big sport shooter. He started off taking video of us drawing from our holster and shooting at targets. Fast as we could. Then taught us how to draw aim and shoot his way. At the end of pistol training he video taped us again to show us how we changed. We got a great deal out of it mostly when it came to the proper grip and recoil control. We finished the day with our ARs shooting and moving. Well worth the money.

I did the same thing trying to build a high capacity easy to use tumbler instead of the hobby rock tumblers. Wasted a couple of hundred dollars in parts and time. Decided not to waste time reinventing the wheel and bought this one. I do up to 20 pounds of brass, tumble for 1 hour and they are just as clean as I was getting in my small tumbler with a fraction of the brass and hours of processing time. I would rather be reloading and shooting instead of building a tumbler.

Correct, I am sorry I missed your point.

Very interesting and passionate topic, great reading. But some things are inaccurate and require a little clarification. As an FFL no 4473 or background check required to transfer a firearm from inventory to personal inventory (Correct) OGAM no longer applies (INCORRECT). I am subject to one gun a month just like everyone else to personally own handgun in my inventory. Hi Cap Mags (INCORRECT) I can possess them, sell them out of state etc, but cannot take them and put them in my personal firearm and use them to shoot a match at the range. So no background check required is technically correct however in NJ when I transfer a handgun from inventory to my personal inventory I also need a NJ Permit just like everyone else. And in obtaining that permit I need to complete the State Police forms just like everyone else which in this state means I am subject to a background check. Just for clarification New Jersey FFL's are subject to almost the exact same rules (except 4473's) as everyone else in the state when we want to buy our own personal firearm. Never made much sense but neither does any of the other firearm laws. Bad guys still get guns easier, cheaper and faster than any of us do.

Understood, but it's $20+ considering everyone else is going to charge you for the "$15 NICS fee or more.

I don't know but see the previous post.

Actually my price was $544.90 and no NICS. I guess I am out of your time frame. Good luck with your purchase.

I have one in stock available. The price is $544.60 + tax. No NICS fee or other fees. Unfortunately I am a bit south of you in Central Jersey close to Great Adventure. It is available for delivery as soon as I can get a NICS run. The link to this gun is: (Glock 19 Gen 4 FXD 3x 15 Round)

I was hoping nobody would ask, but that's ok. Probably less costly just to treat the tennis elbow you get when you reload 30,000+ rounds/year. So yes, you know about the Dillon stuff, that's easy. The auto drive unit complete for the 650 is $950. The Mr. Bullet Feeder with 1 Caliber kit is $469. So add a few more caliber changes and some of the fancy add-on gadgets like the powder drop micrometer and stuff and you are looking at adding $2,000 the cost of your Dillon. It's easy to make the argument to drop some of the gadgets you add on and you can reduce the overall price a bit. I am a little higher in price because I purchased caliber changes for 9mm (38 same), .40, .45, and .223. I also have the Mr. Bullet Feeder on my other manual 650 press. When you buy the Ponsness Warren Auto Drive for your press it comes complete with everything pre-assembled. The instructions have you installing it leaving the Dillon handle and RAM lever in place, just dangling but I could never get that to work correctly. I just pulled it all off the press. Looks better anyway. You basically remove your Dillon Mount, disassemble the handle, link arms, link pins and crank then mount it on the Auto Drive and connect your main shaft with a coupling they provide. Initially it took me about an hour to properly adjust the unit to make sure it cycled fully and also seated the primers but once you lock it in you never have to touch it again. If anyone is going to do this I suggest you go slow and don't rush yourself unless you have a bunch of ring indexers for your press and you are comfortable pulling off the platform. Taking your time to adjust the throw by manually moving the cam (just loosen the clutch) and properly adjusting the clutch will save you from crunching ring indexers if something jams because it's not adjusted properly. Keep the clutch loose until you are confident in your setup and you won't harm the press if anything jams. By the way if anyone is going to buy one of these I recommend the hand switch instead of the foot switch. The control box comes with two switches that you must activate together to make the press work. I disabled the push button switch they have on the unit and just left the large joystick control which allows you to run the press in two directions. When I want to run it unattended I just use a piece of painters tape to hold the lever forward. When I run brass to de-prime and size I load it up and run it non-stop. I just finished 4,000 38's last night while watching the baseball game.

That's actually not a shroud, that's a barrel sleeve. You cannot hold the firearm by the barrel sleeve, unless of course you have oven mitts on. That firearm is NJ legal and I would sell it.

Yeah I know what you are saying but I'm not about to do that. The dillon case feeder is known to throw a case in upside down now and then and the Mr. Bullet feeder isn't "bullet proof" in my opinion and misfeeds a head now and then. But I have managed to run hundreds without a problem. What I really like about the automated system is the consistency of the rounds. Also it seems to resolve a problem that many people with 650's struggle with. As the plate advances to the next station, with smaller cases like 9mm, sometimes you get a "splash" of powder depending on how you stroke the machine. The automated system is very smooth and consistent and the plate never jerks to the next station. I know you don't have that problem. Another issue this resolves is any short stroking of the machine or not completely cycling the round to properly seat the primer. After several thousand rounds people have been known to have high primers. It's hard to keep the exact same smooth motion over thousands of rounds. This system completely removes that variable. Each stroke is exact and consistent. But I am able to sit and enjoy a movie while the machine trucks along. I don't think I would go as far as to leave the machine and go do something else, but I have fiddled around close by on my other benches. Besides it goes through a whole tube of primers in under 7 minutes. Not much time to do much before having to load primers. I keep a ton of loaded primer tubes but still you need to stop the machine every 7 minutes and fill the primers, cases and bullets. It's still cool anyway and it does eliminate the tennis elbow many of us have from loading thousands of rounds. Oh and one more thing. I use it to de-prime brass. Now in this case I run it unattended much of the time. No primers, powder or bullets to worry about. I put in one die in station 1, a Dillon de-primer and resizer. Pile in the brass lubricated and let it rip. I like to have all of my cases de-primed, sized and roll sized before I clean them with the stainless steel media. This automated system makes short time out of de-priming and sizing lots of brass. And since my roll sizer is also automated I can perfectly size cases in no time. My primer pockets are nice and clean and the cases are perfect and ready for loading when I do this.

Nice. I like the consistency of the load with the automatic system. I don't actually walk away from it. I usually operate the dead man switch just in case. I took a risk for the video but don't normally do so. No difference with the loaded primer tubes and pressurized brass. The automatic system just mimics the manual action. There is a really good clutch which I feel more comfortable with.

So I thought I would post a video on how to reload 100 9mm loads in under 7 minutes. Once you dial it in it gets boring so I figured a youtube video would be cool.

Finally finished mine. Just about finished with the gun vault.

Four of us did the advanced tactical training, pistols and AR's, with the Spartan Group at your facility. Was an amazing day. It's great that you guys offer such advanced programs and partnerships. Great facility.

I found the best way for me, and a good use for the bullet tray (For Depriming operations ONLY).

Thanks but stand down my friend, this is not the time and not the place. Talk to you later.

A major renovation over the last 8 months at home with an addition provided a perfect opportunity to build a new personal gun shop. Not quite finished yet but almost.

Reasonable mileage reimbursement is one thing. That is only one of the issues. The operative word is reasonable. Say what you want but in 2012, and 2013, as documented in the financials, a fraction of the board logged in over 80,000 miles. That's not me throwing out an accusation, that's simple math from their own documents. And, there are more than half of the board members that have not taken a single penny for mileage reimbursement. Why is that.These are also officers and directors that are very active in the club and are there all the time working and volunteering their time. And don't play the hypocrite card on me either. I donated two vacation days and drove the backhoe and a bulldozer helping set the blocks for the new double wide. I also volunteered my time as a match director, once a month that amounted to an all day affair when I got done with the scores. Did I get mileage reimbursement, of course not. Would I have even taken it if it was offered, absolutely not. My time is just as valuable as anyone else. What did I get for my efforts at the club? They forced me out as a match director, then tried to get me thrown out of the club. What did I do? Nothing, I just asked to see some financial information, information that every one of us is entitled to see. Lastly, lets talk reasonable. The chairman and the treasurer lead the hit parade in mileage reimbursement. Would it interest you to know that our treasurer paid himself over 14k in two years for mileage reimbursement. The president stated that he didn't live on club property the whole time. He was living there in May of 2012 and ever since and still charges the same amount to travel. Reasonable? How about a board member charging exactly the same amount of money for mileage reimbursement for 4 consecutive months. Now that's driving accuracy. Oh yeah I did fail to mention that the financials seem to indicate that the ATM cards carried by some of the members that are also charging the club for mileage are being used to purchase gas. Even the detailed financials don't tell me who those individuals are because our treasurer doesn't like to document the details of the expenses for some items, most notably the use of the ATM cards. The problem is as you examine in detail the financials you find all kinds of examples of suspicious activity. The mileage is just one glaring example. It comes down to this. It's not only about the money, it's about playing games with a whole lot of money. The sad truth is that the club management needs a lawyer present because they need to be counseled on how to stay in control. The bottom line is the board and management of the club is costing the club money. Just allow the membership to see the information that they have a right to see, they don't need a lawyer, "yet". Anyone with intelligence has to ask themselves the question, why are they acting like this, what are they hiding? And did anyone miss my last post? Over 200K to a board member in two years? Nice gig how do I sign up for that one?

Now we are starting to get somewhere. Since it was brought up at the meeting by another member and since the IRS form 990 is available openly to the public I am sure my attorneys (yes there are now two of them) won't mind me mentioning that the club filing for 2011 and 2012 lists payment made to board member Byron for 102,600.00 in 2011 and 102,600.00 in 2012. Yes over 205k in just two years. Now what I cannot talk about is a lot more. There are hundreds of thousands of reasons why they will not audit 2011 and 2012. In fact they did an audit in 2010 but I don't think that was for 2010, only 2009. 2010 financials are really interesting as we'll.

Try Easton Firearm Refinishing. I sent many people there and sent two of my own firearms up there. http://eastonfirearmsrefinishing.com/

Yes thank you. My machinist has done quite a few.

Pm me we do it.

Many people have been asking me. There is no way to register. I can grant access to the private section but I need to verify every one I let in. First of all only CJRPC members will be considered. I have to know who you are. And personally, this blog is not a public blog, not like the forums. I am not interested in debating my actions, plans, or be defending myself on my own blog. Basically if you plan to justify the BOD start your own blog. This is my blog, I own it, the equipment it runs on and the company that runs it. No trolls allowed. Those that know me have my personal email address so drop me a note and I will give you access. Many others still know me from the club or business so PM me. If we see each other at the club for a match that would be the best way. I plan to attend the New Members Only match Sunday. By the way, good luck Ted. I wish you the best. You have always tried to help and pitch in. We appreciated that. Thanks for stepping up and keeping the good thing that Bob, Dom, and I built in the last year.
