Gus

Mine took about 2 hours this morning but I was told they are caught up now. Thanks for the replies OG.

Does anyone know if NICS is down. Trying to purchase and was told NICS was down for several hours yesterday (06/12/15) and has continued into today (06/13/15).

Maybe the IRS gets involved over that $25 they made too, make sure they file their income tax returns, or else. Better call the State Division of Taxation while were at it, I bet they weren't collecting sales tax either. When did we completely loose common sense in this country? 2 little girls selling lemonade get busted? Who was the moron who couldn't just look the other way?

As stated earlier, thanks for everybody's help but gun was sold a few weeks ago for $525. Decided I didn't want a safe queen and passed it on to someone who loved it.

I just sold this gun an hour ago for $525. Decided I didn't want a safe queen.

CKH37, went to see your guy this afternoon, and dropped off my stock. Seemed knowledgeable and reasonable.

Thanks CKH37.

I have an old shotgun that needs a new recoil pad. I have ground to fit pads myself in the past, but I just do not have the time now. Anyone know of someone within reasonable distance of 08330, Mays Landing, NJ that does this work? Also, I am looking for a professional, not somebody to do a hack job. I would appreciate recommendations from people who have had this done by someone and were satisfied with the work. Thanks.

I'm with you guys. I have bought and sold several 12ga 1100's and never saw one go for anything over $600. He just didn't want to believe me. Just in case I am missing out on an opportunity: Anyone looking to overpay for a really great condition 12ga Remington 1100? :laugh: :laugh:

I guess I should have given a few more details. Its nothing rare. It is a 12ga, 28 in fixed choke modified barrel. No vent rib. Nothing that would make it a rarity other than the age and condition. I personally never felt that the condition gave it a premium, just that it would go for the upper end of used. My friend swears I am wrong. The funny thing is I am torn about selling it. But, it has nothing to do with price. I believe a gun should be used and enjoyed, and nothing should be a safe queen. However, I don't have the heart to put it to work. So I keep taking it out to use it, but put it right back in when I see it. I guess I should sell to someone who really wants it, I just don't want to go through the hassle.

NOS means NEW OLD STOCK. As if a dealer forgot one on a back shelf somewhere for 30 years and Just found it today while cleaning up.

Ok guys, I have 99% condition 1974 Remington 1100. This thing looks like NOS. I really can't say enough about how nice this thing is. I bought it from an old man who shot it once and kept it in a closet for 35 years. He put 25 rounds through it, and then I put another 25 through it to make sure everything works. My buddy asked me to sell it to him, but I refused. We then got into a discussion about what it may be worth. My buddy says that due to the awesome condition and the age, this thing commands a premium and should be worth in the $850 - $950 dollar range. (Even though he offered me way less when he asked to buy it.) Personally, I feel used is used, and should go for the higher end of regular used prices. Somewhere in the $575 - $625 range. What do you guys think? I am only asking because if he is right, then I am seriously undervaluing my guns. I try to be realistic when buying and selling firearms, but am I missing something?

How would OGAM work with all of this? If you go to PA right now and buy a long gun, they run PICS. What if you bought 2 handguns? Would PICS tell them not to sell to you? Or would they have to run NJ NICS? Lots to think about with this decision.

Beat me to it.

I agree. That's scumbag Sweeny's ticket to re-election after re-election as governor. He is going to be the "I'm the toughest guy on guns laws. I keep you safe." candidate, if we don't stop him from getting elected in the first place.

You need a lawyer my friend, plain and simple. Expunge your record and move on. Forget about the Michigan case, you will spend thousands arguing and get no where in NJ.

I have been asked to see my license twice in the past year. Guy was friendly and polite. I had my valid license both times. No issues.

How long before they pass a law that says: "iii. Any type of shotgun that has one or more of the following: (1) Uses any type of ammunition. (2) Is available for sale anywhere in the universe. (3) Is made of any type of material, real or imaginary. (4) The user does not have a may issue shotgun permit.

Not surprised in the least.

Voted.

Wife and I are going on Saturday.

Same here.

We all know there are really good guys in the gun business, and then there are scumbags. Lets all just hope for the best. I know these people don't need any more headaches.

Hopefully the new dealer will do whatever they can to help these people. I'm not saying the dealer is responsible or obligated in any way. And, I know that their time is valuable, and that free transfers don't keep the lights on. But, if the state doesn't take care of this (which they most likely won't), it would be a great thing if the dealer cut them any break they could.
