  1. Did she get the 10/22 with the red laminated stock? I REALLY liked that color....was tempted to buy it myself.
  2. Bullcrap - the original statement was he tried to write, but the pen didn't work, and the indents in the license were plainly visible. The rest, in my opinion, is harassment.
  3. I disagree. Law enforcement officers wonder why they are held in such low esteem.......it's because of crap like this.
  4. No, you're trying to comply and they bust you anyway.....there's a difference
  5. Yup - why I didn't go home with much in the way of ammo-prices weren't great. Only ammo I came home with was some low-recoil Rio 00 buckshot @$20/7 boxes (bought it before & liked it-singly they are $3, a case was more than I wanted/needed $127? I think?) and three boxes of 12 gauge clay loads @$6/box (liked the guy so I bought some of what he had left over-he had cases@$55/case but had sold-out for the day-more tomorrow.
  6. Aww....and I was keepin an eye out for ya...
  7. I just got back from the saturday edition of the Oaks Gun show. Very busy - lots of people there. NICS was screwed-up for most of the day, which severely impacted firearm sales. A LOT of vendors were severely PO'ed, and feel that this show may end-up being a net loss for them... Ammo was there, not in massive quantities (and not particularly cheap), but enough that you could likely find what you wanted/needed....except .22 rimfire. A couple of the big vendors mentioned that the small amount they had was sold earlier this morning. The only .22 LR that I saw was being sold at $5 per 50 round box....or worse. For reloaders, there were a few vendors, and they had powder, though not the sort I am familiar with. When I asked about the stuff I DID know how to load (Bullseye, Unique, etc) I was told some very disturbing news - that those powders would be UNAVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. Not sure what is going on, because I did see other powders with the Alliant name, as well as different IMI and Hodgdon canisters, (don't ask me which, I dont know). Primers were available - I got 2 boxes of CCI small pistol at $30 a thousand. 7.62x54R tins of 440 were going for $125. Firearm prices varied from merely OK to crazy. I saw several S&W M&P 15 .223 sport AR (which I have been considering) in the $700 range. You could not find a Garand for under $1300. A couple of the vendors had crazy prices on Mosin Nagant 91-30's and 44's, but most were in the $130-140 range for a 91-30; older/laminated for more. Ruger 10-22's started at about $250 and climbed rapidly. For shotties, nice 870 wingmasters were a pricey $340 or so, and there were a lot of the Stevens 320 in various security forms were asking $239 or so. Doubles were crazy...fox model B's (upscale stevens 311's) were going for crazy money (6-700), but there were a lot of the lesser-known brands of over/unders going for 4-500. You could still walk out of the show with a pump shotgun for $150 - I saw several older (but good condition) Stevens 67 & 77 pumps in that range. One more day - Sunday - and there may still be firearm deals to be had, as a LOT of deals were left on the table due to NICS delays. Good luck all
  8. Same here.....I've used them before; they are hit-or-miss. I won't use 'em again. I use the internet to get the name/phone of a local florist, then call them and set-up a delivery. They're happy, I'm happy (no additional FTD charges) and the recipient is happy.
  9. IMHO, this is a "no win" scenario for you. Whatever way it plays-out, you are the 'bad guy', because you instigated the situation. I would occasionally mention it, but that's as far as I would go. Yes, it would be nice to have one or two from your father...but at what cost?
  10. Has anyone been there yet? I'm off this Friday and i'm really thinking of taking a ride up...
  11. If you don't buy it ... tell us where it is! I don't have a current permission slip, but for that deal i'd go get one

    Skeet/trap shotgun

    Ogfarmer is right...if you're near the Clinton WMA, coming out for one of the shoots is a great way to figure out what you like and what works for you. There are also shotguns that pop-up for sale all the time...Your best bet (that I've found lately) is to keep looking here and on the NJ Hunter List. (www.newjerseyhunter.com). There's nothing wrong with used; good-quality shotguns will outlast most of us and hold their value well.
  13. Sadly....most of them have closed-shop in the past 10 years or so.
  14. Been reloading for years, and have all sorts of bits and pieces to make boolets. About the only thing I don't do is cast my own; mostly for lack of need (but their prices are increasing, so I may get into casting...) Watch different places like here, Craig's List, NJ hunter list, and your club bulletin board for equipment. Shows are also good; most reloading presses are built like tanks and used ones are a bargain. Just go slow and PAY ATTENTION. Reloading is easy, but one mistake can be very bad...both to you and your firearm.
  15. That's the beauty of Bullseye...I can load at 2.7 gr for both .38 and .45, and a pound cannister lasts and lasts and lasts.... AND if you're not paying close attention, you have no business reloading.
  16. I've been using Bullseye for years
  17. Um...ignoring all the rest, why would you want to?
  18. Have to take a ride.....
  19. Thank you.....now I understand. Sorry for my confusion; from the original discussion, I thought there was another 'new' book required by the semi-communist state of NJ.
  20. OK then....to follow this discussion further. If I, John Q. Buyer, purchase a NJ-neutered AR type, such as a S&W M&P Sporter, it goes into which book?
  21. So.....you're saying that TWO YEARS AGO, the NJSP ordered FFL holders to maintain TWO books - one with all transactions, and one with just AW-type transactions? If so, WHY are we only hearing about this NOW?
  22. UPDATE - I've been emailing and UPS'ing back and forth with Estate (Federal). First they had me ship them some of the duds and a box of 25 out of the lot for testing. A week or two later, they emailed back and said they confirm what I have found and please send them back. They will send me a check for the two cases that were bad. I am now waiting for the check. (yes, Federal even paid the UPS charges) I have nothing but good to say about Estate and Federal...in everything they've been an honest, stand-up sort of company. I'll be particularly looking for their ammo from now on.
  23. I clean at home after shooting; I've never cleaned at the range or in the field. I use hot plain water, then normal cleaning with Hoppe's or something similar.
