    I have a Mossberg 930 JM Pro for 3gun.  6+1 capacity.  Reloads are fast on it... it's made for 3gun.

     

    I thought that this shotgun had an 8+1 capacity so it was not legal in NJ?

    I am interested in getting a few steel targets for practicing with a pistol at say 10 to 25 yards.

     

    I have found two types of round steel targets: With holes in them so a bolt can be used to attach them to a cap on a post (or using a chain to make them into a gong) and with no holes but a piece of steel welded to the back which slips into a holder on a post.

     

    Is there any advantage of one type over the other?

     

    I would think the flat target without the bolt/chain would be safest as the ones with an exposed bolt/chain could be hit and cause the bullet to ricochet back (besides destroying the bolt/chain).

     

    I would be interested in hearing any thoughts on this.

    Thanks.

    I do, want a little more clarity though in re: the "recieve/discharge" passenger thing. If I want to pick up a person and go shooting with them at my range in PA, is that OK?

     

    Good question. NJ doesn't seem to have an exemptions to leave NJ with a firearm so you would be under the federal FOPA. So is picking up a passenger on the way to PA covered under what? We need test cases  :maninlove: .. any volunteers?

    It looks like the bill that was passed by the Senate today had been amended on May 5th:

     

    http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/A3000/2777_S2.PDF

     

    As amended, the
    bill defines “deviations as are reasonably necessary” to mean
    collecting and discharging certain passengers, purchasing fuel, using a
    restroom, contending with an emergency situation, and other
    reasonably necessary deviations of no more than 15 minutes in
    duration. The committee amendments expand the definition of
    “deviations as are reasonably necessary” to include reasonably
    necessary deviations of no more than 15 minutes in duration.

     

    The last clause "and other reasonably necessary deviations of no more than 15 minutes in duration." seems to add judicial discretion back into the law. It is still not perfect because of the 15 minute duration but definitely better than it was without it.

     

    The full final amended bill is located at: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/A3000/2777_R1.PDF

    This might sound strange (but everything about NJ gun laws is strange) so here goes:

     

    Can I travel from my home in NJ with a firearm to the first range, then drive to the second range, and finally drive home. Both ranges are in NJ.

     

    I would hate to think that I have to first drive home and then back to the second range as the trip between the ranges is much quicker than my trips home.

     

    It seems from what I have read that I can only drive between my home and range and back and that there doesn't appear to be an exemption for driving between two ranges?

    Weapon light/laser combinations have much lower light output than just a weapon light.

     

    For example:

    170 lumens for the Surefire LED Handgun Weapon Light with Laser

    500 lumens for the SureFire X300 Ultra Weapon Light

     

    For a nightstand pistol, do you all have weapon lights, lasers, or combination ones and why?

    I just purchased a Laserlyte Reaction Tyme training system with a LT-45 laser cartridge. I have found that the laser seems to point about 6" too high (at a distance of 7 yards) compared to my iron sights on my Glock handgun.

     

    Has anyone else used this and how accurate is it?

     

    It seems to work well to help me with my trigger control but I am afraid of building muscle memory of aiming 6" too low all of the time.

    ..... Rather than build your own. If you really want to see how they work you can always field strip and disassemble yours as much as possible to get a good idea of the mechanics of it. Theyre very simple.

     

    I would really like to build one but my time is limited (that thing called work always seems to get in the way) and I don't know anything about AR's. I build my computers from parts for the same reasons everyone has said about AR's: you can get exactly what you want and you then know how to maintain/fix them. So maybe for my next one.

    I am looking at getting my first rifle. I will be using it for HD and for fun at the range (100-200 rounds per month). At some point I might get a light/laser for it as well as a red dot or holographic sight. I would like it to be NJ compliant out of the box and don't want to build one.

     

    I have narrowed it down to a Colt Match Target MT6400R or a S&W M&P15FT. They seem similar. The one difference I can see is the Colt has a chrome lined barrel while the S&W has a Melonite barrel finish.

     

    Although price is not a deciding factor the Colt lists for $1825 and the S&W for $1159. Why does the Colt list for so much more?

     

    I would welcome any comments about either one or even why my choices are just lousy.

    Thanks.

    I received 3 new magazines from Glock in the mail. I took them to the range and have shot around 100 rounds through each of them using 3 different types of ammunition.

     

    They ran flawlessly so I am a happy camper again :sungum:

     

    The 3 original magazines must have been a bad batch.
