Sometimes when I visit this forum I run into lots of skepticism about things I tell you I've done that I've been told to do by LEO's. That I've been told to do decades ago from mentors whom I trust. I get challenged, called-out, "beat-up" or told that I'm crazy. Fortunately this happens rarely and only a certain few "regulars" are guilty of the BS. I have extensive experience in quite a few shooting disciplines, and because of this "I got to see HOW THE SAUSAGES ARE MADE". By that I refer to how the club members train, legally transport and most importantly USE their various platforms during competitive league activities. This insight and LOTS of other real-life firearms experience has taught me to realize that there are two basic types of NJ Gun Owner: 1. Folks whom are scared of their own shadow and rush to judge (and even worse--criticize) others for stopping to pick-up or discharge a passenger, stopping to pee or get a cheeseburger or transport hand guns and ammo on a intrastate basis w/o following federal (FOPA) guidelines (unloaded gun and ammo in the same Range Bag IS allowed in NJ), etc. 2. Shooters like Griz, Ray-Ray, myself and LOTS of others that do what needs done and makes the most sense at the time. In other words, "normal people" w/o the "Chicken Little" complex. When I get harassed here, I sometimes consider abandoning this place as a "Lost Cause" full of "Negative Nellie's". It is at those times when I remember a quote from Teddy Roosevelt: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man (or woman-Ed) who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. "---T. Roosevelt I'm NOT going anywhere. I won't be forced into the night. Those of you that feel the same as I do are welcome to join our merry band of Do-ers as we attempt to right wrongs instead of sit on our asses and bitch! Rosey http://www.cnjfo.com/join-us

I agree, yet again, with Ray. There are several examples of "eating our own" in threads where the same questions are constantly asked that start "is it legal..." then the resident experts will pontificate about how taking a pee can land you in jail. I gotta ask, are there any gun owners in New Jersey that are unaware of the peril they live under? Ever bring a "questionable" weapon to a public range? Maybe an adjustable stock, threaded barrel or a muzzle device that you can put your pinky in? And the outrage by the "resident experts" about your transgression? Surprised they aren't calling the SP weapons unit. I know of no other hobby where the adherents are obsessed with minutia of ridiculous laws. Could you imagine if your local speed shop was like us? We'd all be in Priuses, driving 5 miles under the speed limit. Because, you know, to be sure you don't break the law. Is it a wonder those that fight for our rights get frustrated and leave after any interaction with this forum?

This is SUPPOSED to be a pro 2A forum, yet we completely trash, 2nd guess and piss off every 2A organization that attempts to reach out to us! Especially NJ2AS and ANJRPC. Considering how few pro 2A organizations we have, perhaps we should throw our support behind them and put our money where our mouths are! Regardless of whether we all agree of their tactics, they are on OUR side! I support NJ2AS and am now putting my money where my mouth is and joining Rosie's group. The CNJFO! We have very few friends in the PRNJ. We need to support them!

I've never seen so many haters and keyboard commandos in one place. I don't begrudge people for their commercial success or ability to obtain a CCW. Or, blame any pro-2A person or group for not having CCW in this state. But, I've seen that behavior here. It must be a NJ thing...

Thanks for your kind words & support. We all need to band together to fight for our collective rights instead of, as Ray-Ray says, be "guilty of eating our own". I look forward to discussing any ideas you may have to better spread the 2A Gospel. Check us out on Facebook if you can: www.facebook.com/cnjfo . Rosey http://www.cnjfo.com

And once again..... We cannot be civil to each other....

Zeke, I'm here. I check some of these boards every day. Often giving answers that make you THINK. http://www.cnjfo.com

This. I've witnessed 2 different instances where a prominent NJ RKBA advocates came in and left in disgust at the combination of negativity "You're not doing enough / Your strategies suck" and apathy "Nah, I'm not contributing to that effort, it's a waste of time". This place even recently pissed Anthony Colandro off, and he's no softy from what I can tell. I don't bother trying to drum up support for the orgs I belong to in here.

This, right here, should be pinned on the NJGF wall.

OK..... this one is done

Figured why not... people need to have some laughs. Rules... nothing not safe for work, nothing not in good taste.

I've seen plenty of magazines that held more than 15. Did I say anything? Nope I've also seen collapsing stocks, semi auto shotguns with extended tubes, pistol grip semi auto shotguns and everything else that people own freely in other states. Do i say anything? Nope Maybe it's the Bayonne mindset that I have, but I don't rat. Remember what Jimmy said in Goodfellas, you learned the two most important things in life. Always keep your mouth shut and don't rat on your friends.

Single Stage press and start with the 45-70. It's a straight walled cartridge easier to begin with, Bottle necks can be rough to learn on. Cabelas has 15% off all Hornady reloading for Memorial Day.

Don't go with a progressive No no no "O" type press like a Rockchucker etc. they sell kits. You'll need leverage for resizing. You have two relatively easy cartridges to work with. Read. Go slow and understand what you are doing and why. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK. I suspect there will be oodles of... well not stupid, but not really helpful information. The reality is unless you are going to drop some decent cash on traveling to matches. Almost everything local can be shot with anything with a decent barrel and a red dot fairly well. Really the only details that might matter is that the barrel has to not be a piece of shit and be able to shoot whatever crap bulk ammo you are going to buy, and that a longer free float tube is really useful for not causing barrel deflection when bracing from a position. And you probably want a decent comp. In then end I told you basically nothing. Mainly because nobody is selling something like that geared to the NJ market. It's also why pretty much everything you see at a match is going to be a franken gun. Because you either just build it yourself, or you mangle the entry level gun you bought to make it what you want.

Someone certainly likes their Berettas eh? Hows the new one? It seems slimmer than it's predecessor. The only thing I could see that i didn't like is that for a grand they still give you that plastic guide rod. The gun felt nice when I handled it. I'm hoping Wilson Combat does a version of the pistol.

Down Simba. I've posted about 5x as much as you have. This issue is 6th or 7th on my list of dislikes. Not everyone, particularly newbies, is aware that certain things have posted 300 times already. If one person doesn't know the bizarre laws regarding HPs it's a good bet 15-20 people don't know or remember. I don't remember them fully myself so I rely on a decision I made very early on which is simply not to buy hollow point ammo. If you think a thread titled, "Can I Drive Around With My 10/22 Unloaded In the Trunk" is lame DON'T READ IT. But don't tell 20 year old Joey Ninefinger Mozzarella from Bayonne that he can't ask, and Wise Glockbuggerer from Gutenberg that he can't respond.

Pretty sure windham has NJ compliant uppers, but like mentioned above it'll only add to the cost. I'd keep that 20" barrel too... love the look of full sized ARs with an A2 stock. Rifle length gas system + A2 buffer = buttery smooth shooting with zero recoil whatsoever Steve can take great care of you on this

I can see how you could think that. But in the very few forums I participate in, this is the only one where newcomers aren't politely told to use the search functions, and read some, before posting for the millionth time the same questions. I agree that we live in a province where our betters change the laws at will and the interpretations of those fluid laws are even more imponderable. Our feudal masters keep laws vague so they can be applied —or not— at their whim. I don't know of any thread asking the same half a dozen basic questions, worded in a thousand different ways, that has ever ended up in a resolution of the question. No matter how it's posed. If I had a nickel for every "what if I..." in response to "no you can't do that in NJ" I'd have a bunch of nickles. Not being a downer here. It's a worthwhile forum, but we do indulge in meaningless circle jerks about crap that if you did a modicum of research on your own from trusted sources like the stinking code itself, you wouldn't be asking for input from the usual experts on here. How long has NJ sucked for 2a? Sure as shit ain't yesterday. There are no loopholes. There isn't finessing these draconian rules. Guns, in general in NJ, are illegal and can land you in the stony lonesome in a second. Even if you do everything right. Including fudds trampling through the woods with their scatterguns dutifully plugged(feel safer?) Does everyone realize that? I thought we did. Oh by the way, is it illegal if I have hollowpoints in my 1911/Glock/XDM when I'm at home, you know... for self defense... geez! If you are concerned about the rules, go pay a lawyer to tell you the same wrong info you've researched on here. At least you'll have a real person's number to call when they're knocking on your door...'cause "I read it on NJGF" ain't a defense.

Teenagers made breakfast and were really sweet....Very thankful and grateful for how blessed I am...

Thanks for the clarification.

Assault Weapon Book? I dont have one and never needed to use one. If a non compliant firearm comes in we make it compliant immediately before it hits the book He can take possession in Maine if he takes it to an FFL with the owner and transfers it that way As i said before... The assault weapons book statement is incorrect. If a m1 Carbine came in then we would have to log into an assault weapons book. Which means i would have to get a new book since we have no AW book THIS IS TRUE! I dont know if Windham sells compliant upper only... If you want it done from the factory i'm sure they can special order one for you.. Or you can just send the rifle to us for compliance work.

From what I see, it doesnt matter HOW you bolt it to the floor, but if you dont bolt it to the floor AND wall at the same time you will be able to push it over. Dont fall for the hype of just bolting it to the floor.

Great insight. You must be a mother fucking genius or something

Agreed, great truck. New trucks are way to heavy and wider now. I just have an issue putting that much into something and never being able to get it back out. What part of the state are you located? I assume you're familiar with the lightning forums.

the (compliant) transfer can take place thru a Maine FFL because its a long gun, handguns need to go thru a NJ FFL. Also- why would you think the compliant gun would not get booked? Dont all transactions get logged in? I know my compliant Sport got booked, in fact some dealers have been instructed to keep a 3rd book just for "black rifles" per a thread here a few yrs back.

How about you get the 80% lower, finish it and shut your mouth. Done

The general level of toxicity in this place is one of the reasons I've been taking some time away (not that I expect anyone to notice, or frankly care if they did) and focusing on more important, real life things. It doesn't surprise me that so many groups or politicians that are trying to help, abandon this place in pure frustration.

Dude. It is the perfect guy truck. Every guy should have one...or two... red one 620 RWHP blue one 580 RWHP

Yes sir.

teasing us with whats lurking in ur garage! its not what we see on a daily basis.

Buy a reloading manual. Hornady and Lee are both good ones to start with. Nosler, Sierra and Lyman are also very good. Use it as a reference guide for correct procedure in addition to the load data within. Also, Youtube is your friend. If I were you, I would start with a single stage "kit" from and get comfortable with it first.

Have it sent to a jersey dealer that will pin a brake and shave the lug. You will save a lot of $$. I don't know where you live, but off the top of my head I believe Monmouth arms and rtsp do this work.

Why can't one have both?

A friend will help you move. A best friend will help you move bodies.

I own the Mod 2 in the 4 inch barrel. Shoots great and feels great. But I also own the Walther PPQ M2 9mm 5". Great pistol accurate and feels great on my hand. I would recommend the Walthers over the Springfield

If Zeke disappears from these boards. There will be NO questions!!! He's not very bright as you all can see from his posts.

I have a 2016 ZO6 and my advice is go for it. You only live once. Yeah, it is crazy-fast as hell. If you can afford it do it.

Well..... my answer is going to be obvious..... I would sell them all for the right car....

Finally decided to sign up for an account here after reading the forums for quite a while. Just getting back into shooting after many years of being away. Also helping to sell off some reloading equipment for an elderly friend.

Thanks for catching that...I misspoke. I have only brought my .22LR rifle and shotguns to the WMA's.

Yes - I found that I have to squeeze the pad hard against the stock to get the holes to line up well enough to get the takedown pin in, and putting the pin in takes more force as well.

LMFAO

I decided I needed a small, defensive fixed blade knife to add to my EDC. It's a double edge, titanium clinch pick from Ban Tang Knives. The blade itself is only about 2.5" long. I still carry my Kershaw Blur folder but that's more of a utility knife. Oddly, Iowa has relatively lax knife laws and since this is a double edge, it's a dagger and I can legally carry it concealed as long as I maintain my permit to carry a firearm.

That is unfortunate. I believe he lives in Maine so I can understand only wanting to take particular cases, but that doesn't excuse the lack of decency to reply.

Great thread idea. My only input I can give is don't waste your time trying to contact Nappen unless you have a high profile case. I contacted him a couple weeks ago and a friend of mine did a couple years ago neither of us got a reply or return call. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
