  1. Laxammo.com has been listing rem umc 9mm 115 grain a couple of times a week for the past two weeks. I was able to get my hands on some for .30 per round. It ain't cheap, but they have been available.
  2. I post every deal I find (after I place my order) right away! I WILL let you know! Unfortunately, we aren't going to see those prices until shelves are fully stocked and store rooms are full of inventory again.
  3. They are at the top of my list for companies NOT to spend money with. .25 for .22lr is insane. I bought a box of 550 rounds of federal 40 grain .22lr just six months ago for 19 bucks. And that was three bucks higher than I usually spent a year ago.
  4. Here is cabelas policy (driven by state policies): http://www.cabelas.com/custserv/custserv.jsp?pageName=GunRestrictions They used to have a listing of each state and where you could purchase dependent on your residency, but that was years ago and laws may have changed to become tighter or more relaxed since then.
  5. My father died when I was young. I was fortunate that my sisters were older teens when my father died. They both married men, great men, while they were young. I was fortunate to benefit from this by having two additional father figures. One was a very religious Jewish man, hippie, music lover and very liberal. The other was a Protestant, conservative, music lover who was rejected from joining the military during Vietnam due to medical issues, yes he tried to volunteer, in multiple states. I am Catholic and I had the best that a young boy without a father coul have. I had two very different, very positive male role models added to my life by the time I was 8 years old. Both taught me several things, humor, patience, compassion, sense of self respect, determination and a desire to succeed. Both taught me things that the other didnt and both shared the burden of teaching lessons together. My brother in law, friend, and role model, Allen Stone Winslow, was shot and killed in prospect park in Brooklyn twenty years ago on this coming June 1st. It has been a rough twenty years for me, not to mention my sister, neice and nephew. He helped me become the man I am today. I am pretty happy with myself and the path I have chosen. This man taught me to learn as much as I can. He attended nearly every boy scout meeting, camping and fishing trip, helped me build my pinewood derby car and best of all he taught me how to shoot and how to safely handle firearms. He would take me and my younger brother to his parents house in massachusetts and let us shoot all of his and his father's rifles. He taught us about the constitution, the bill of rights, to be self reliant and to be prepared for anything (he was an eagle scout, I unfortunately aged out before I could receive mine, was a big disappointment to him, but he understood). He was a confidant and a great source for advice (as is, my other brother in law, Shelly). Sometimes his advice was that I needed to make a choice and handle whatever the outcome was. My loss was great. It was unbearable at the time (compounded with my younger brothers death six months prior). But what got me through was how he lived and what he taught me. I tried to, hope I did, help build the foundation of my nieces and nephews, the way he did for me. Again, he was shot and killed by a single round from a .22 handgun by a group of thugs looking to steal a bike. Had they asked, he probably would have given it to them. But he was shot in the back while he rode a path, the bullet struck his aorta and he bled out in the arms of a complete stranger who showed more respect for human life than the four thugs that killed him ever could or would. I could call myself a victim, so could my sister and her children (and maybe they are), but they never acted like victims. Not one of us took the path of victim. I took the other path, I mourned his life. I went to court whenever I could, saw his killers convicted and moved on. I hunted and shot whenever I could. I taught nieces, nephews, friends to shoot and hunt. I take pride in the lessons I was taught an try to share those lessons. I have developed many friendships through our right and our sports. I take pride in being an AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO EXERCISES HIS RIGHTS. I share the knowledge of these rights and have turned several anti gun people closer to our way of thinking and have completely turned some to our side. I could have made the choice to be a victim, but I am not anyone's pawn. I am self reliant and a proud AMERICAN.
  6. I have absolutely no complaints about my ppq1. Excellent trigger, excellent grip, feels good in the hand. Excellent firearm IMO. One note, my recoil spring guide rod popped apart. Walther (S&W) replaced it very quickly, but I also added a steel guide rid because I wasn't too happy with the plastic one (it works fine and I am sure it is a rare occurrence). I had about 2000 rounds through it at the point when it popped apart (during cleaning, not during shooting). Still, accurate, excellent firearm.
  7. I know this is a stretch, but I figured that I would reach out and see if anyone knows of any shops around the Philly area that might have a higher probability of having available 5.56/.223. I figured that I may have a bit of a drive but am willing to make a couple of stops if there is a 50/50 chance for reasonably priced ammo. Thanks in advance, ECS
  8. I just got mine from aero precision last month and used Ramsey outdoor. No problems and nics came back in a day?
  9. She work for you guys? She ever at the bullethole? Thanks!
  10. Especially with rifles, seen them correct a guy shooting a 223 bull pup about his fast rate of fire.
  11. I have a friend who just received her fid and p2ps and is looking for some training. She wants to train with a woman. Anyone know of any female trainers in the Bergen county area? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  12. The REAL Red Dawn, not the candy coated feel good crap that just came out.
  13. If this were a bit less of a sausage party, more lady enthusiasts might give some insight
  14. I have a bunch of them, I gave one to a friend in ny, he tried to mod it for ny laws. He completely destroyed it. Tried an acetone soak, brute force, etc... Destroyed the mag housing and the floor plate. Left with nothing useful but the spring and follower. His are a bit tight, can barely get the dust cover on, but he is making sure that we are in compliance. His prices are great as well. He hasn't raised prices like the bigger shops and he backs up his products and services 100%. I highly recommend doing business with him.
  15. Oh, and you aren't reversing Ty's mags. As far as I can tell, they are pinned AND epoxied and you will destroy the floor plate if you try to adjust them. this is his business and he wouldn't risk his livelihood on a poor job staying within the guidelines of the law.
  16. So a while back, a friend of mine in pa cam across a good deal on pmags. He bought a bunch and built a block out of some plastic (1/2 inch thick or so) and pinned and glued it to the floor plate, then he pinned a ranger plate on with a roll pin and epoxied that. I am pretty sure that if I try to crack the epoxy or remove the pin, I would damage the mag permanently. Short story, he did this in pa, well blocked and well pinned, as far as I can tell, it is permanent and would ruin the mag if I attempted to modify, as per the language of the law, this is legal. You could do it yourself, just as long a it is over state lines. Think about your intent. Are you making a best effort to satisfy the law?
  17. I think all of the disarmament nonsense is because they fear they eventually will be.
  18. Ha! "Don't let expensive, hard-to-find ammo keep you from enjoying your AR-15. Convert it to shoot plentiful and affordable .22 LR rimfire rounds for plinking and practice."
