    Not sure why your profile shows zero posts, but clicking through to 'activity' shows your your posting history on this forum goes back 13 months, and consists of over two dozen posts asking sellers to message you because you are too new to post.    

    I do not think the posts in the ads section count towards the post count. If @OJ North Jersey participated in the discussion forums he would gain the ability to send PMs. I think it is 10 posts minimum.

    I have been cleaning at home, but I don't have a permanent station set up for this, so I need to spend some time rearranging stuff before doing so. I've also thought of cleaning while at the range, so I'm interested in the comments about various ranges not allowing cleaning on-premises. Do you mean that they don't provide a dedicated space to do this, or that they actually forbid the practice? I pay for range time per hour, and, as long as I'm paying for the time, I'm wondering if the range is likely to object if I'm cleaning 1 or 2 handguns instead of shooting them. I know I can ask them, but if it is a general prohibition for a good reason, I'd like to know in advance.

    If you were running a commercial range, would like the risk of having to call "clean-up on lane 3" when someone knocks their bottle of solvent over? They would have to shut down the entire line if any of it spilled forward.

    It seems pretty simple to me.

    Many politicians are lawyers. They push these dumb laws through, full in the knowledge that they will be challenged in court.

    That means their lawyer buddies get a lot of money - none of them work for cheap.

    The Judges get paid to listen to the BS.

    The lawyers in the AG's office get paid to defend the BS.

    Our lawyers get paid to challenge the BS.

    It is a huge money making scheme that benefits no-one but the lawyers.

    ...and lawyers wonder why they are one of the most despised professions.

    I have a few AR's that I built myself.  As long as I pin the stock and replace the flash hider with a pinned/welded muzzle brake, I am good, right?

    If any of them have a bayonet lug, that has to go too.

    Also, regarding the "Other/Non-NFA firearms", would it be the same deal?  I have a couple AR pistol style firearms that I built.  The stripped receivers were bought as "other" on the ATF form at the FFL.  So, if I ensure the barrel is at least 12.5" and there's a vertical foregrip, would I be good? 

    The key features are the VFG and a minimum overall length of 26". The barrel length is not a problem. There are longer than milspec receiver extensions that will make an AR with a shorter barrel legal as a non-NFA Other.

    what was the end result? or is this one of those things that we all hafta wait to hear? i'm not trying to be wise.....i'm really that stupid regarding these things, lol

    It's a waiting game. The attorneys argued their sides to the judge. He can sit on it for just about a long a he wants. He's not going to decide quickly. He hates guns and will find any excuse to keep the ban in place.

    The primer is the one variable we have no control over.  I use only CCI primers and I am a maniac about where and how they are stored! That's the best anyone can do since factory ammo primers are also not tested either before seating every bullet!

    Commercial manufacturers don't claim their ammo can never malfunction.

    Been reloading since 1974.  Never had a primer not go off.  No need to test them...even if there was a test.

    It can and does happen. The chance of contamination isn't restricted to the the last person to handle them. I'm happy you've been lucky enough to avoid the problem.

    There cannot be,  nor will there ever be a squib from one of my loads.  My camera shows me the powder in the case of every round.  There are no mistakes.  I even weigh every loaded round for consistency.  The squib will never get by my scrutiny...:icon_mrgreen:

    Do you test every primer before seating it too? :crazy:

    Hey @Mr.Stu I finally did it!!  I signed up for IDPA match at PPC on Wed 4/17!!!  :D

    Are there special glasses that I need outside of regular firearm safety glasses that include impact resistant sides?  Will a clip-on for prescription glasses work? 

    Looking forward to seeing you soon,

    Bob S.

     

     

    Great! Regular shooting glasses with side protection are best. The backstop at P-burg is steel so there is a possibility of frag coming back. We have rubber sheets to block it, but there is always a small risk.

    The ever so useful 3rd circuit threw it back to district court in the fallout from Bruen. Happened to just about all 2a cases around the country.

    That was more than 18 months ago. He ordered "discovery". Discovery of what? Heller laid out the text, history & tradition requirement. Nj had already had ample opportunity to show the historical support for this if it ever existed. History from the time of the founding cannot be created anew in the last 18 months.

    I am sick and tired of the so-called justice system pretending that they know best.

    If Biden was a deck...

    Are you from New Zealand? Their accent uses vowel rotation. For example, they fry food in a "pen" and write with a "pin".

    Using a NZ accent, Biden truly is a "deck"

    I am not sure if they are legal if they are placed as designed. I think the statute is poorly phrased (what a surprise!)

    It reads:

    A holder of a valid and lawfully issued permit to carry a handgun shall not leave a handgun outside of their immediate possession or control within a parked vehicle, unless the handgun is unloaded and contained in a closed and securely fastened case, or gunbox, and is not visible from outside of the vehicle, or is locked unloaded in the trunk or storage area of the vehicle.

    The subject of the sentence is clearly the gun. If it is in a locked container the gun will automatically be out of sight. They probably intended that the container must be out of sight, but that is not what they wrote.

    I looked into the RapidSafe as I have them inside my home for staged guns. The quick access RFID function is very good.

    It seems from the reviews that they are very unstable when you use the air cushion to hold them in place and I do not see the need for quick access in a vehicle.

    I opted for the less expensive Hornady key safe which slides easily under the seat to be out of sight. The key safe got a not terrible review from LPL. Bear in mind he picks the lock on everything.

    Buyer must have current NJ FIOD card for all purchases, and also must have a pistol permit to but a handgun. 

    You don't need an FPIC to transfer a handgun, only a permit to purchase a pistol. 

    Having said that, they give you a new electronic FPIC when you apply for pistol permits in FARS.

    They are all examples of revolver holsters. The 1st pic show a hidden hammer and simply pulling the trigger in that holster will fire it! The other 2 examples are at least somewhat safer in that the hammers are restrained from movement thus making it much harder to pull the trigger and dislodge the snap.

    I for one, would absolutely NEVER use such a holster for CCW! 

    Revolver holsters were exactly what the OP was asking about.

    I don't think they are quite as unsafe as some might expect. Remember that a double action trigger on a revolver is in the region of 10lb. Add to that the resistance created by the friction of trying to rotate the cylinder while it is in the holster, it would be pretty difficult to fire the gun by accident - not impossible, but also not very likely.
