Just want to thank the guys who sent me a PM regarding my listing of the M1 carbine, which is illegal in NJ. You are correct to be concerned, because there are more than just a few cops reading this forum. If we could get a list of all the viewers, we'd probably need new underwear. Anyway, thanks again. It's nice to know there are still some good folks out there. That M1 was issued to my uncle in 1943 when he became a paratrooper with the 82nd airborne. He carried it thru the war, and, like many GI's, managed to keep it with him when he returned home. When he passed in 1972, I inherited it because I am the family gun nut. That rifle is treasured by me, although ironically, it is now in the possession of my younger brother, who owns a cattle ranch in Texas. He referred to it as "the antique". Take note, impish troublemakers, I am still a solid, law abiding NJ citizen. Real quick ditty to explain why old isn't bad, and the authorities still fear the semi auto: we spend every Thanksgiving at the ranch (big family affair), and this year my wife and I got down a few days early. My brother decides we're going on a search and destroy mission for pigs that are chewing up his property, so I get the M1 and he's carrying a fancy new Weatherby .300 Mag (yes, he is a gun snob). I get the oldest and calmest horse, named Nessie. He's on some young stud named Otto. Half an hour into the late day hunt we come over a small rise near a creek and sure enough there's this freakin' hog that looks to me to be 300lbs and it's only about 20 yards away. This thing is BIG and it's a momma, too, tits running up and down the belly. There are about six other hogs with her, but she's the bad one, and the others run for the hills when they see us. She stays put, looking right at us. Dirty charcoal, full of dirt, with some nice choppers working on something. Otto is a little jumpy with the porker that close, but my little brother whips out the Weatherby, aims, fires and somehow misses the entire state of Texas. I mean we don't even see the round impact anywhere. As he works the bolt to chamber another round, Miss Piggy catches on that she may have a date with some eggs in a frying pan, and turns to run down the embankment. As she turns, her side is to me and I'm ready. My horse is calm and stable. I pop her three times with the carbine, pop, pop, pop, just like that. Takes maybe two seconds. She rolls over stone cold dead. Nessie grunts (I swear it was a laugh) and my little brother moans (he knows he'll never live this down). Otto is still jittery from the gunfire as we dismount to check out the hog. What a smell. Miss Piggy tops out at a robust 279lbs...way above the Texas average of 150 or so. Fancy $2,000 Weatherby-0, 1943 $200 M1 carbine-1, game over. Needless to say, the "the antique" is now known respectfully as the "ranch carbine". I hope someday I can bring her home.

Young punks! Winchester 1200 12 GA 1972- still have it & hunt with it. Just bought a Mossberg 835 tactical for tukey hunting though, love the adjustable stock. M1 Carbine 1973- still have & shoot. Need to stay sharp for the Zombie Apocalypse. Oh yeah, boys, it's coming...you better have a semi-auto. S & W 38 Special- 1973- still have, still shoot. Nice backup gun for my 360. Makes the sweetest pop you ever heard. Lots of other toys we won't go into.

Soriano said the remains were found in an elevated, cliff-like area. "Its in an unusual location," he said. In NJ, nothing is unusual.

This whole thread freaked me out. Really eerie. I was just getting ready to order 500 rounds of 7.62, but now I'm bumping that up to 1,000.

Sponsoring "new" legislation that addresses something already plainly illegal gives the sponsor/s the right to puff up their chest/s come re-election time. This has nothing to do with ammunition, and everything to do with politics. We don't need more laws or regulations, but we keep getting them because we're on our way to the "Nanny" state, and our politicians are completely out of touch with real people. Drive with your headlights on in the rain. Don't talk on the phone. Wear a seatbelt. Wear a helmet if you ride a bike....our founding fathers would not recognize our nation at this point in time. We've wrapped ourselves up with so much government that we are all suffocating to death.

Now some of my crazy neighbors up here in the Highlands have told me that should you ever be forced to shoot an intruder in your home, you must be sure to tap him a minimum of two times (preferably more) with one shot at extreme close range to confirm that he tried to wrestle your weapon away from you after you informed him to cease and desist his illegal activity. I would never do this, mind you, being the law abiding citizen that I am, and I pass along this advice strictly for conversational purposes. I most likely would elect to run away if I could (I'm sure my pants would be soiled from the encounter and my legs would be shaking fiercely). While cowering in the nearest big bush, I'd call the mighty police to come and save me. Perhaps by the time they arrived, I'd have regained my composure, and I could talk without crying so I could describe the perp/s. Now my really crazy neighbor, let's call him Marco for this scenario, well, if he came home from the shooting range to a burglary in progress in his beloved casa, he'd calmly park his car, tell his wife to sit still, uncase and then immediately strip load his 1954 Russian SKS (oh, how he loves that gun). He'd be sure to fill little "Natasha" with a full ten rounds of his extra special 7.62 (home made hollow points- don't even ask) and then he'd waltz right in to his own house to personally greet the gentleman/men who made the mistake of trying to rip off his resources. Marco wouldn't give a hoot in hell about the NJ law, or the consequences of his action, because he deeply believes (he's personally told me this) "you either live like a man, or you are already dead!" (I guess I'm a zombie by that credo). Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure he'd leave no survivor/s for "lawsuits", either, should the gentleman/men refuse to do as he says and actively resist him. My neighbor is quite the character, for sure. By the ripe old age of 26, Marco managed to deal out 32 deathcards (eight hand to hand kills) to Uncle Ho's boys in Vietnam and Laos. Four (4) freakin' tours with the zips. Yup, that's my man Marco. Even the cops seem to like him. Keeps a wicked nice lawn, too. Silly neighbors! Go figure...

Midway sells a Picatinny rail for this monster...page 231 of the the big catalog. Ho, just kiddin'!

OMG the thumbhole PAP! Outrageously fierce looking. Where did you pick that up? I want to get a couple and send them to Senator Diane "Fiendstein" and sweet Nancy Pelosi, the anti gun nuts. Just one look at that and they'd surely suffer a siezure of some kind. Best wishes for the new toys! Remember, keep them as well lubed as your girlfriend, and they'll never let you down.

Wow, I didn't know you could screw aesthetics into the wall that far. That is one ugly firearm. Imagine yourself at the range with this little guy...you will surely turn some heads (and probably stomachs). Ugh!

C'mon. I'm new to the forum and even I know you don't toss out a teaser like that without pics. I got so excited about the NJ compliant PAP that I yanked the cord out of my laptop trying to respond. Did you get the thumbhole stock? Don't let your neighbors see that little monster...they'll need new underwear.

The old hippie's review of a Charter Arms pistol is carried on their home page. He's a You Tube superstar. I'd love to toss a few back with him.

A truly deranged individual would consider sniping them from a slightly open window with a scoped pellet rifle like a Gamo Rocket or a Benjamin. Most of the noise will be muzzled within the interior of the sniping room. I'm told a headshot will bring them right down. I've also been told this is great practice for when the zombies come... I wouldn't know anything about this, being a law abiding citizen myself. I do have crazy neighbors though. I suppose this is just another really good reason to include a nice air rifle in your firearms collection.: "Pest Control". I'm just sayin'...
