    I have my eye on a very odd Garand. It is chambered in .308, uses a detachable magazine, and has a scope mounted on it. I did some research and I think it's a reissue by Springfield armory Inc from circa 1982. The only thing throwing me off is the serial # 1773994. Everything I've read say the reissue models serial #'s start with 7xxxx.

    The receiver is stamped US Rifle CAL 30 M1 Springfield Armory 1773994

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    This. If you tested at gfh, you can just sign up for a free qualification. Anthony is actually one of the few doing that. 

    Well you can't just sign up. I have been checking the site daily for a week and all the quals are booked through the end of August. The site says they are adding more dates soon but nothing has been added in the past week.

    I took that class for 2 reasons...1- it is required in my range before you take the Holster draw class. And you need the Holster draw class before taking this new qualification. 2- it is needed to get the Florida CCW and they offer that for a substantial discount when you take the Basic pistol course.  I have been shooting for almost 50 years and I like to use people that know what they are doing,  and people that have qualified thousands and thousands 0f RPO's and Security Guards over the last 30 years or so with the full approval of the NJSP.  You dont have the overhead that these ranges have so your comparison is moot.  And to say they dont have a clue makes you sound like a real ass, knowing full well that these qualifications have been proper all of these years.  The requalification is free now to members that took the original qualification from them( is yours free?), so that hundred can be deducted too.  The renewal wont be as bad,  but I feel real good about myself knowing that I have been trained by the BEST Instructors around.

    I believe the requal is free to anyone who took their qual at GFH. Not just members

    I think it's a combination of quality bulbs and a dimmer switch meant for LED. 

    The Cync dimmers say they are LED compatible so I'm hoping for at least something I find acceptable.

    I imagine this ban does not apply to theatrical lighting. If it does the lighting designer is really going to earn his paycheck.

    My problem with LED bulbs is they don't dim near as well as incandescent. I have mostly dimers throughout my house. I have a few LED G 10 bulbs in a fixture that dim barely acceptable. The halogens are far superior.

    I received a freebee pack from JCP&L a few months ago that had a few standard Edison LED bulbs that said on the packaging dimmable. They didn't dim at all. Once I dropped the voltage they would blink rapidly or shut off. I'm running Cync dimmers and changed the settings to use LED bulbs and once that failed I tried both incandescent and halogen and nothing worked.

    I want to try top of the line LED but if they don't dim to my standards I will return them. I guess Amazon will be the way to go.

    Anyone out there have experience with dimmable LED's?

    https://nj.gov/njsp/firearms/pdf/PTC_use_of_force_and_Qual.pdf  scroll down to the certification its on the bottom of page 18

    Going to have to wait for the lawyers to clear that one up. An asterisk at the end of a form may not be legally binding. Don't get me wrong as I really do not want to pay for a holster draw class just to take a qualification I passed less than a year ago so I hope that anyone who already has a permit doesn't have to do any of this till renewal.

    I ordered these for the fair Cindy and we will be trying them out this weekend. Detailed report to follow.

    Quoting my own post because I never reported back in a timely manner.  apologies.

    These were quite good, well balanced and quite sharp. We have used them a few times and the edge has held up but the target is a slice of a log, not plywood.

    For the money I recommend them.

    Does anyone know what the deal is with the current stay removing the ability of carrying in establishments that “…serve alcohol” and a restaurant that is a byob?  Let’s say I go out to dinner with my wife to a byob and I do not drink, but she does with a bottle of wine she brought with her?  Is that kosher?

    Yes they are not serving alcohol your wife is.

    A few friends and the lovely Cindy and I went out for dinner last night and as always I was carrying. I knew the establishment we were visiting has a liquor license so I knew thanks to the recent decision I would have to leave my self defense firearm locked in the safe of my car.

    When we arrived much to my dismay the establishment only offered valet parking. What to do? There is no nearby street parking so I dropped off my party and drove about a half mile away to park and locked my firearm up .Returned to the restaurant had another Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, wait that was another incident.

    Just interested in opinions would it be prudent to lock the firearm in the safe in the car and then relinquish the keys to the car to the valet? Would that even be legal? The car is an SUV so there is no trunk and it has keyless entry so I had to leave a fob with the valet if I chose valet parking.

    I'm sure this is a situation that our legislators thought long and hard about (NOT).

    "Utter BS" is an understatement. The only defensible basis for reinstating those restrictions is if the judges believe that NJ could ultimately prevail on the test of compliance with the Bruen guidance on congruence with 1787 and 1791 requirements, and there is no way in Hell even those 2 idiot liberals sincerely believes that.

    That's not on me. That's on the state legislature for passing a stupid unconstitutional law. I have a safe and an alarm and insurance.
