    So for my 1911 build I just finished fitting the slide to the frame.  My next step is fitting the barrel and bushing to the slide.  Should I fit the bushing first so that it can hold the barrel in place when determining the fitting I need to do for the barrel hood to fit into the barrel slot?  Or will fitting the hood change the fit of the barrel to the bushing as the barrel hood is fit to the slide? Should i fit he barrel first using my friends stock colt bushing and then fit the oversized bushing after the barrel is fit? I hope my question and way of asking it weren't too confusing.  Thanks in advance for any help/advice you guys can give

    My slide to frame fit is complete! Very satisfying to finally finish this part of my first build.  Only a few hiccups here and there and my grandpa helped me straighten them out.  He was a machinist and electrician for a living so he has 4 of every tool, haha.  i definitely bled a lot more than I expected to, but other than that it was an enjoyable experience.

    1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID).1 P2P
    2. Police Department where you applied. Nutley PD
    3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. Det. Gus Formato
    4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit.  2 months 2 days June 4th - August 6th 

    5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). Nothing extra.
    6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc). Nutley has you print out reference letters and give them to the people you listed as references, which I liked. Det. Formato was a pleasant person to deal with.

    If that's the case, you should tell everyone the name of the ffl, so people can avoid them.

     

    Mentioned it in the original post.  Carter Drugs in Matawan.  My friend used them 4 times before I told him that was a bogus tax.  Paid over well over 100 dollars extra in transfer fees.

    i think somethings wrong here..

     

    if he purchased elsewhere he would not pay tax on the gun. if he purchased from the dealer he would not pay the 25 transfer LOL

     

    He payed tax on the gun. The shop owner asked him how much he payed for the gun online and then charged him "sales tax" on that price.  This was on top on the $25 transfer fee and $15 for nics. I have a strong feeling that the neither the IRS nor the NJ Division of Taxation receives any of these "taxes".  This is where my question of legality comes in. Representing a fee as a mandatory government tax to get people to pay more.

    Centerfire and rimfire rifles up to .25 caliber can be used to hunt woodchuck under during certain seasons if you use the correct bullet weight and type.  Check out page 66 of the digest. .22's can also be used by trappers for putting live trapped animals down.  Always check the digest for the specific regulations so you can be sure your always legal

    I think your best bet is going in yourself to get them.  If the troopers were good at faxing things, your id and permits would have been done a long time ago.  My town has the reference forms available for download right from the town's website.  I haven't looked at the NJSP site lately

    Wow, you should offer these services to people applying for FID's and permits! Make yourself some extra cash on the side, haha. I was recently quoted 2-3 months for a pistol permit and would love to have someone keep the police station on their toes.

    My general plan of attack is to politely nag the crap out of them as they delay. The focus is generally on offering up the possibility that it is something other than the repsonsible party at the town level causing the problem (because they will tell you that anyway) and focus on the theoretical delay caused by the third party and how you can both facilitate making this work. Preferably by a method that requires the person on the other end of the phone to perform some simple, mundane and tedious task while on the phone, or to target you at some 3rd party in a manner that may come back to them and make their life more annoying. Remember, when they are being a giant PITA and dragging their feet, they are trying to make you go away and/or reduce their workload while looking like it isn't them. Your goal is to make that not happen. I usually try to give them a week of peace an quiet as a reward for completing each step.  Examples at the various stages. 

     

    Forms - I know what goes in there. I've done this tons of times. I'll download them and fill them out, and also print out a blank copy. sure. IF you are the Critically Important Little Old Lady , I'll cut you some slack and hand them in. If you are an officer who is going to make me make an appointment for this, I'm making it, and I'm going to do my best to force you to get me copies of the form and fill them out in front of you. You know.... because no two municipalities seem to do things the same way, and that always seems to be the reason for delay, so we are going to ensure this is done correctly once. Remember be polite!!! We are going to beat this as a TEAM!!!! 

     

    Reference letters - IF the person form step one wasn't a jerk, I give them a business week to mail them out and verify with the recipients if they have them by day 9 (roughly), which is more than enough time to get around to mailing them out and  for them to arrive.  Ask them if they have gone out because your references have gotten nothing. Do they need the names and addresses again. Ask them to verify if they instantly say no. The point is to politely request them to do annoying work. When your references send them back, give them time to arrive. I give them 2 business days. Then call to ask if they received them. No? give them 2 more. Repeat. Call at different times of day and from different numbers. One of your goals here is to find the times of day when they seem most annoyed by your call, but also actually do stuff. If they were annoying, I start this whole process with a much shorter and more frequent schedule. 

     

    Morpho - you will very often get ambiguous instructions, or conflicting sets of instructions as to what to do about receipts for this. Even if they explained clearly, call them and verify the set of instructions you are following are the correct set (i.e. turn them in or don't turn them in). This is usually good for 2 calls, because you need to be really, really sure. If they do require you to turn it in and it necessitates an appointment, ask them for a fistful of handgun permit forms while you are there. Time it to be annoying and reinforce that you guys are a TEAM!!! working an uphill battle and that every possibility exists for working together more and more frequently in the future!!! 

     

    Background check - I've had them blame the NJSP and the FBI on this one. Ask them who you can contact there. Insist there has got to be something. They won't want to tell you, and you don't care because it's only an excuse to spend time with your new team member!!!! Of course, you know what office deals with it at the NJSP. So call them and ask them why are they screwing with your new best bud. Drag this out and turn it into a call every 2-3 days that is the equivalent of middle school girls calling each other up to talk $hit about some other girl not in the conversation and then devolve into a 5 year old asking if we are there yet ever few days. 

     

    Police chief's signature - now it's just waiting for this a-hole, that is probably nothing more than a secretary with a rubber stamp waiting for said a-hole to say yeah stamp that. Is it done yet? No, how about now? Hmm.. perhaps I should make an appointment to discuss this with the chief directly, I know he's your boss, so there is only so much you can do... who do I make an appointment with. Etc.  You may not be able to do much here other than nag about "is it done yet, I just want to make sure it isn't signed and sitting there" because lots of times that will happen too. Some places like to let it rot there as the last stop to denying you. i.e. if you can't be bothered to pick it up, you shouldn't own a gun or whatever reasoning they have. 

     

    At this point, you can actually try to make that appointment with the chief, escalate to the mayor, bring it up at the town council on a slow night, etc. The usual stuff. 

     

    A secondary goal of all of this is to actually get some straight answers out of them to make your life easier. One place I lived, my cavalcade of positive and helpful annoyance got me the answer on what day(s) of the month it was best to submit my forms because they admitted that they processed stuff only twice a month for anything other than forms getting added to a particular pile. Getting the timing right on submission and reference letters cut time from mid 60s to mid 40s. One place I lived, the outbox was infinitely deep, and they weren't going to call you to ocme pick them up no matter what. being persistent cut that from infinity to 2 days.

    Hey  all,

     

    I really like the look and function of a .22 with wood stock and forend.  Are any companies currently putting out a good quality pump .22 or can anyone recommend an older model to be on the lookout for on gunbroker/at local shops?
