Great place. The Range Officer and manger are tops. It does get pricey to rent, especially the ammo part, but it is a cheap way to test drive short of having a friend with what you want to try. You can save a few bucks by bringing your own targets.

I have a Ruger 22/45 (.22lr) and an STI Spartan V (.45acp) that are both very accurate.

Not leaving, it is a beautiful state with much to offer, but considering land purchase outside of the state.

I understand that the FIDs applied for after Sandy Hook are now coming in, so there are a flood of new buyers now coming online.

Some adds to blksheep's post: Eye protection Ear muffs Stapler or tape Target sheets (May also need to bring target stand, but that won't fit in bag) Pen and paper Snacks Water Guns Small cleaning kit Keys to all locks you are bringing (unless they are combo locks) Range ID and rules

Congrats! That is great news.

Done. But a gun offender registry? 50 percent tax? Are these really being proposed??? I hope not.

Gotta tell you, the FFLs/dealers I have dealt with in this great state of ours are nothing short of fantastic in terms of working thru the red-tape, regulations and NICS stuff. (Special shout out to Mastodon Ammo & Camo and Lou's Firearms. +10 for both) The de facto waiting period - my last was a calendar week - was annoying as heck, but that is NOT the dealer's fault. I will continue to work with local instate shops because, when the hysteria dies down, I want them to be around. And asking them to push hard against the State is not very fair. Especially for smaller businesses, you do NOT want to raise the ire of your regulators. That is a one way ticket to the 9th Circle of Hell. Just my opinion. Everyone will do what they want to do.

I have a 22/45 and LOVE IT! It is legal. If you are purchasing through a reputable dealer, they would only sell you New Jersey legal firearms. It is when you do F2F or ordering online or buying long arms out of state that you really need to worry.

Chris and Marshall are great knowledgable guys. Bought several firearms from them and will buy more from them in the future. Top notch shop!

Somerset County has strong gusts and some intermittent rain right now. We are doing ok. Hope all stay safe.

I will take good care of it for you. I think I will start a home for abused guns.

Ok, I am no expert, but I would not put any of my firearms in water or touch ammonia. Water and metal don't mix well for obvious reasons (rust). Unless you take the gun apart and dry EVERYTHING completely, you may encounter some rusting. Ammonia, I have read can also damage metal. Although some bore solvents have ammonia, my understanding it is different from household ammonia. If you put a little ammonia in a tub full of water, the concentration may be so low as to not cause an issue regarding the ammonia eating your metal. As for the cleaning part, just soaking in water (or even a commercial gun cleaning solvent), won't necessarily clean the gun. You will probably need to apply some elbow grease. Q-tips, soft cotton cloth, nylon bristle toothbrushes are good to use. In the end, you will need to lubricate your firearm parts. I think here you must bite the bullet and buy gun oil. Your Kimber manual probably tells you how to clean it. It certainly should tell you how to assemble and disassemble it. Cheap way to help get the water out your gun is to stick it in rice. That will absorb the water. Then you will need to clean off the starch residue by using a cloth to wipe it down. With all due respect, the Kimber is a really nice (not cheap) gun, so I would get gun cleaning solvent and oil, q-tips, a kid size soft toothbrush and splurge on a boresnake. Hope this helps.

Thanks, guys! I can't wait to go shoot her. This is gonna be fun!

STI Spartan V .45 acp. :-)

I have a 22/45 and was thinking of using some white or day glow light green nail polish on the sights. I think I read on this forum that someone did that to one of their firearms.

I am good on ammo, but real classy gesture. Big round of applause for mrg455!

Personally, I am going to buy the firearm I want that complies with current law. There are proposals to limit mags to 10, 7 and 5 rounds. Who know what may happen. If the law changes, folks who do compliance work will be very busy.

Really nice guy with good sense of humor and a wonderful family. Very smooth transaction. Thanks again!

I use Safari on my iPad .

thanks. At $35 for 375rounds, I will pass.

Isn't this just a way to institute a waiting period without having to pass a law? That is effectively what has happened. Vtecpaochr, I think if you start the NICS check before your 30day OGAM waiting period is up, you risk being rejected. That's what I was told by my LGS.

Got some. Thanks!

I thought there was a backlog for NICS. Is that just in New Jersey?...

I wear both plugs and muffs at indoor ranges. First time I shot indoors, others were shooting some very large calibers. I only had muffs - screwed up my hearing for days. Scared the heck out of me. Now I always double up.
