Sevenshot

Check Buds. For mass produced stuff like 10/22s they are among the lowest prices and can give you a starting point if you shop around.

I love the takedown. I bought the BX trigger at the same time as the gun, but honestly didn't feel it was necessary when I shot it stock before replacing parts. Definitely get the VQ bolt release. I chased an empty soda can off hand at 50 yards without a scope and cheap ammo. I can stretch it to 100 when seated. Really fantastic 22. The backpack is pretty cool as well, though buy actual straps for it off amazon.

Is there a day that has more vendors?

Saw this one last year https://www.amazon.com/dp/0990575497?tag=vs-alloutdoor-convert-20

I would certainly like to down the line just for fun, but am going to need to first find the time to start spending much more time at the range.

I've convinced myself that I'm going to finally buy a 1911. Still in the very early stages and know little outside of searching here (btw this is awesome if you haven't seen it https://www.1911addicts.com/threads/buyers-guide-for-all-you-1911-addicts.511/). This will primarily be a range gun. Leaning 9mm just because ammo is so cheap. I'm also becoming increasingly interested in mounting a red dot on a handgun. I know a gunsmith can make this happen but it makes me cringe to think of drilling into a beautiful, new STI Trojan or SA range officer. Is there a recommended 1911 that is ready for a red dot out of the box that is comparable to those I mentioned above?

My wife and I were nailed by one of those Maryland cameras for speeding in a school zone on Dec 26 (No kids were in school). She's a lawyer in the city and said the way the camera tickets are written (maybe civil vs criminal) makes fighting it pointless unless you make your way down.

Awesome collection. Thanks for sharing the pics!

I remember someone pointing out not to use loctite on polymer, only metal to metal. Said it was on the package warnings. Anyone know why?

Seeing a lot of people recommend using a torque driver lately. Is there one you recommend? I saw a few in the $50 range doing a quick search online.

I've bought dozens of guns from buds. Love doing business with them. when you do the money order discount they can be a bit slow, as far as prices, they aren't always the cheapest with all guns. However, nobody beats them (with free shipping) on the big movers I.e. 10/22, m&p, etc.

Same happened to me when I moved here. I still don't really understand some of the rules. If you ask law enforcement, you will get 10 different answers. I burn up the search feature on this forum. And welcome!

I have the plain, stock takedown and I was surprised by how accurate it shot despite 1. Me being the shooter and 2. El cheapo ammo. I've since put in the BX trigger, but I doubt I would've bothered if I hadn't bought it simultaneously with the gun. I'm putting a scope on it in the next week or 2 since my eyes were letting me down with some of the smaller targets at 50 yards (ugh age). I'll try to remember to post the results.

Wow too bad I already bought one!

They come from people from free states. And unfortunately, the "I'm from a free state and could never imagine such an absurd law on the books" hasn't been a viable defense in any of the countless cases of out-of-staters getting arrested and charged. Even those that aren't convicted spend a fortune saving themselves from the absurd laws here. Yeah, I think I'll continue to ask all the dumb questions I need to satisfy that I won't need the pipe dream Christie pardon. And you and other NJers think the laws are stupid here? Imagine someone who grew up hunting before school and then leaving guns and ammo in the trunk while parked in the school parking lot. By the way, this is widely done and perfectly legal where I am from. The vast majority of laws here don't just seem dumb to me, they blow my mind. The worst part about living up here? I see the writing on the wall in my home state as more people from this area relocate and retire to my state. The numbers have grown to the point where it's becoming more and more like the state these individuals so badly wanted to leave. Freedoms being stripped by "the damn Yankees." I guess living up here will be good practice, though I hope the 2A community won't roll over as easily as they did here and let it get quite this bad. The Elmer Fudd types providing useless info? They are on this forum and hijack every single thread. It's very difficult to sift through all the trash in every thread to get any actual information. So big thank you to everyone who actually answered that there are no exceptions. And also big thanks to Griz in particular for always answering and providing some additional detail based on your experience.

Certainly the latter but already knew that was against NJ rules. Was wondering if wife being there made a difference. I know I can lock a rifle in the trunk but rather not leave it unattended.

Of course I wouldn't advertise anything I might do in the future. long story very short, an unexpected, slight emergency arose. Obviously from this post, whether or not I needed to go home first was a question. It was handled, but knowing for next time is better than not knowing. Was just wondering if any possession exceptions are made for wives.

I know I could leave a rifle in the trunk of the car, but rather not go into a store and leave it unsupervised.

Pushed post before I finished. I capitalized wife because I had started a post awhile back asking about family exceptions.

If I come from the range and want to run to the store before home, does NJ allow me to drop my WIFE and pistol at my grandparents' place? What about rifle?

Will check those out, thanks!

Amazon has a lot of good brass sets. Just click one then go to the middle of the page and click the ranking. The reviews on the top few are good and the price is right.

I've been interested in an all metal 9 but haven't seen a CZ to put my hands on it yet. Heard nothing but good things! Enjoy! i don't have large hands and didn't like the beretta. Is there a CZ 75 for medium mitts?

I like the firearms blog and read whatever interests me from the CTD emails. What are some of your favorite gun blogs and sites (other than NJGF, of course lol)?
