Upcoming Oaks, PA Gun Shows 2/7-2/9 and 3/28-3/30
W2MC replied to Zouave's topic in Events & Meetups
Did she get the 10/22 with the red laminated stock? I REALLY liked that color....was tempted to buy it myself. -
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.
-
I disagree. Law enforcement officers wonder why they are held in such low esteem.......it's because of crap like this.
-
No, you're trying to comply and they bust you anyway.....there's a difference

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. -
You MUST be kidding......

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 -
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.

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?

Great Amercian Outdoor Show - Feb 1-9 Harrisburg, PA
W2MC replied to T Bill's topic in Events & Meetups
Has anyone been there yet? I'm off this Friday and i'm really thinking of taking a ride up... -
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
-
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.

Whats your go-to shop for pre-owned inventory?
W2MC replied to NYMetsFan86's topic in Ranges & Gun Shops
Sadly....most of them have closed-shop in the past 10 years or so. -
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.
-
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.
-
I've been using Bullseye for years

W2MC replied to T Bill's topic in Events & Meetups
Um...ignoring all the rest, why would you want to? -
Have to take a ride.....
-
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.
-
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?
-
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?
-
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.

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.
