    Hello everyone. I'm listing my Henry Steel Boy in 357 Magnum up for sale today. It's the older model without the side loading gate. I'm asking for $700 for the rifle. I'm located in Woodbridge Township and am willing to accommodate any buyer, distance wise, as long as it works for my schedule. An NJ FID and matching DL are required to complete the sale and  all FFL/shipping fees are the buyers responsibility. The first to post "I'll Take It" wins the sale.

    Older when hired, so the only bases I can hold a 767 in are NYC and LAX. 

    The Atlanta based competitor I work for's biggest minus is our pilot bases suck.  

    If we had a Texas or Florida base I'd have gone there.  Atlanta is pretty much a no go for my wife.  She had a very bad experience when we were stationed in the bible belt from everyone freaking out over her being Jewish and either trying to convert her or shun her.  

    It was a weird 3 year tour there.  She refuses to go back to GA or FL north of I-4. 

    Yeah that's understandable. There's some things out there you can't put a price on and respecting someone's beliefs are up there.

    I have a pad near JFK getting sick of Uncommutable trips, which with the service being cut down to 3-5 flights a day from Norfolk. I've been driving from Virginia. 378 miles one way from my house to employee lot. 

    To be frank, I'm getting too old for that.  

    I gave my wife the geographic range of "can sit short call reserve on the couch" and frankly everything we found in reasonably close PA,  even using Newark as my anchor  point (I can use EWR, JFK or LGA) was absolute shit and horrible schools.  When I was pushing two hours to EWR the housing got reasonable and better schools, but 2 hours no traffic to EWR is pushing 4 in realistic non rush hour but not 2am to JFK. 

    Wife's best friends husband works for United, they are living with us while their house gets built in Kinnelon, they have a more stringent reserve distance but they only have to cover Newark. I cover Newark,  JFK and LaGarbage but 95% of my flying (757/767) is out of JFK. 

    I bid reserve by choice most months.  I prefer days off to go to dirtbike races over where I go on trips. 

    Yeah I've got 25 years at one of your competitors in Newark (A/C MX) and non-revenue options have actually gotten worse, not better. Do you see your current station as something permanent or can you get to another hub in a cheaper state in a few years? If so maybe consider "transferring ownership" of the problematic guns to someone in VA until you can make it out of here.

    I'm in a seniority based job (Airline)

    We don't have a pilot base in a location my seniority will support that is gun friendly that my wife is OK with moving to. 

    Years ago we made a deal that when I retired from the Navy she'd get a say in where we move after years of fun things like her being the only Jewish lady under 100 years old in the place the Navy sent me. When I was in the reserves we lived near my reserve squadron and I commuted to work. 3-4 days extra a month gone. 

    She's from NY. Family all over NY/NJ. 

     

    The NJ thing is decided. Our VA house is already sold. 

     

    I'm just trying to make the best of the gun laws and not run afoul of some law I didnt know existed. 

    I guess getting a crash pad near JFK and making the commute home on your weekend where it's more gun friendly area(PA)isn't going to cut it for you and your wife? I take it you must be on reserve at your airline given the time commute restriction?

    I'm curious about that training location in Parlin. Is this a training company that owns that place? If so do they have a website where they have other classes listed? Class looks interesting, but definitely looks like a more advanced course and I need to do better on the basics especially at that price point.

    Cumberland sounds nice but looks like it requires knowing an existing member to be your sponsor and they only do membership intake once per year. New Holland membership is closed and a lottery system will be in place for 2025.

    Anyone know of old bridge rifle is still open? I called today but no answer. I see another of match and comp events on calendar but no info about just open range time.

    So far best I got is a 50 yard lane at rtsp union.

     

    Yeah no one is picking up the phone over at the indoor range at Old Bridge, that thing is just there in case there's an emergency (pretty much standard at all the private indoor ranges I've been to). We've still got the indoor and the outdoor (for the time being) range. Usually the last weekend of the month from March to November is an open range weekend, meaning no leagues/competitions on those weekends. That being said we are still taking new members but you have to sign up for one of the new member sessions that has an opening.

    Truth be told, being in aviation, between handling leaded gasoline (100 "Low Lead") and some of the chemicals we use at work, the lead I pick up from my range trip is the least of my worries. Though as one poster noted, if I had children I might take more extensive precautions. About the only thing I do is try to keep the range garments separate from the rest of my stuff (unless it's been through a wash cycle beforehand) so as not to risk cross contamination.
