NJGF Arms Race 2012

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Now, you can stimulate the local economy and protecting your neighborhood.

 

At the end of the year, will have a few winners, for most C&R added, most total added, most interesting firearm, etc. Your reward? Brownie points and bragging rights!

 

Hopefully this will encourage new members to post, ask questions, get more involved. Secondly, this can also serve going forward as a master pics thread. =)

 

Rules for the 2012 Arms Race.

#1 You can only list guns that have come into your possession as of 01/01/2012. That will give everyone an even start. Sorry seasoned NJGF'ers, you don't get a head start.

#2 Any firearm will count (even barreled actions) but, if you list your airsoft guns and water pistols we will laugh at you. Pellet & BB guns will count but post at your own risk of being picked on. Military flare guns will count also.

#3 The more you get the better but, Cool Factor can go a long ways.

Brownie points for: Bayonets, Scopes, a new stock, gun safes or cabinets

You may even get Brownie points for posting pic's.

 

 

Bonus question: In your first post, predict the total number of new firearms you will add to your arsenal, net of sales by year end 2012.

 

Btw, if your gun purchases sank in a boating accident.... dont feel you have to post, although if you want to tease people as to what sank, go right ahead.

I've got 2 coming but damn permit process is killin me!

[deadeye74 5]

One on the way next week then I'm in the waiting game for permits as well!

[NJCK 5]

I'm off to a bang-up start. Just picked up a pistol and rifle this morning from my FFL and inspected what he's got in the safe for more while he signed off on my exemption paperwork. I'll be taking home the 13 in the safe later this month. Chasing two more out of the hands of other collectors' right now...

Would caliber conversion kits count towards numbers

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Would caliber conversion kits count towards numbers

 

No, it has to go threw a NICS check to be considered a firearm.

[BlueLineFish 615]

That sucks

[matt6669 71]

If you move out of state does it still count?

[Shane45 807]

Yeah 3k optics dont qualify either :wild:

 

At any rate I have a DTA SRS with 308 and 338lm caliber kits inbound. Yeah I know I know. But ill give it a second dance since it has the 308 conversion. If it doesnt work out, Ill sell it off....again!

At least your good entertainment Shane

[Malice4you 627]

Well, prolly won't be winning an arms race anytime soon...

 

I do have plans for a Benelli Supernova/Remington 870/Mossberg 590 (still unsure of which one(s) yet), a FN Five-seveN, Sig P229 .40S&W, maybe a Glock 17 or 19, or Beretta 92F, and possibly an inexpensive bolt action, possibly in .22-250.

 

I already purchased a Savage 10FCP-K .223 bolt action this year.

[BlueLineFish 615]

Picked up my first gun of the new year. Mosin ex- sniper fom junkmanted. I didn't take pics and it is already completely disassembled ready to be cleaned. I have big things planned in the next month.

[Shane45 807]

Nice grab. I was eyeballing that rifle. But I have been spending like a drunken sailer lately and really need to dial it back!!!!!

[BlueLineFish 615]

I am the opposite. I was saving most of last year. Another new item will be coming this week as well

[Shane45 807]

Do tell!

[BlueLineFish 615]

I will post pics when I get it. It came out of nowhere but I could not pass up the deal. It's getting harder to keep all this from the wife

[Edgeword 0]

The funny thing about post #16 is the fact that I had the same conversation with my Bro-in-law this afternoon...............................how to avoid wifely detection!

[Ray Ray 3,566]

It's okay, she already knows! jk

[BlueLineFish 615]

 

 

It's okay, she already knows! jk

 

She better not.

[Shane45 807]

Welp, she came home today. Its a DTA SRS with 308 and 338LM conversions. The scope now on her (not the one in the pic) is a Hensoldt 4-16X56 Mil/Mil FFP scope. The trigger on this one seems to be better than my first DTA. Ill now better once I get some range time.

I can't afford to enter this year as a contender after winning the most purchased and most 22LR's categories last year..

[Adam 6]

I'll play.. I got the Springfield XD40 Subcompact Two Tone OD Green & Black

 

I predict at least 4-5 purchases throughout 2012. Not a lot I know..

 

 

Does earning a CCW permit count towards winngings??

[Shane45 807]

an unrestricted permit?

[Adam 6]

Florida..

[Shane45 807]

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

Let's see ... Big Hayden's bitone XD45 Tactical is already in my safe.

#2 for the year (an XD45 compact from an OH arfcommer) is already in PK90's safe awaiting the OGAM 30 day tickdown.

A friend with a recently-deceased formerly gun-owning ex may be holding #3 (but that still remains to be seen.)

 

And as Joni Mitchell said in Cactus Tree "and you know there may be more"

[BlueLineFish 615]

Well here are my two new purchases. I got a call about a permit that was about to expire that I forgot about. Dealer was holding it for something I was looking for in case they found it instead. It was about to expire so I wanted to use it. I have a scorpion on hold for my new permits but she asked if she could sell it and I could wait for a new one. She made me some deals on other stuff so i agreed. Here is what I got.

 

First is a new Springfield Armory XDM 3.8 compact .45. Here was my deal on this one. It was received during the gear up and they called springfield and asked since it was produced during that time if they would give me the gear up on it. They agreed if I bought that day. So I did.

 

 

Next she had a RRA ar-15 that someone ordered when they had their sale back in november. It is a LAR 15 operator 2 .223/.5.56. Came with flip up front and rear sights, quick detach flat top, 4 way picatinny free floating handguard, swivels, and chrome bolt group. The guy decided he could get it so she gave it to me for that price. Over 600 off their regular price. Here it is.

 

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Dude!

[BlueLineFish 615]

as soon as my new permits come in I will be grabbing my scorpion too. I finally am getting to use my birthday and xmas money. Plus I saved all of last year because I see a big spending year coming. Thats as long as the wife doesnt find out

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

...Thats as long as the wife doesnt find out

Seems that some classic advice is the order of the day here for you young'uns!
