Hey, glad I found this forum. I've been interested in guns my whole life but my family was never into the sport. As a kid in Pennsylvania, I owned a few BB guns and some pellet guns. One pretty nice one I had was a .22 caliber S&W single shot CO2 target pistol. That was a long time ago. Now I'm in New Jersey and I decided it was time to fulfill a lifelong desire - a bucket list item, if you will. Got the Firearms ID and submitted an order for a Troy A4 "Other Firearms" 9mm. It will take a while to come in, but I'm excited. I hope to gain a lot of information from the experience of the people on this forum, as I'm new to this. First thing I want to do when I get the firearm is to take a safety class and any other beginner classes that might be appropriate. I'm from Somerset County, right on the border of Hunterdon. I'll also be looking for a range to shoot at. Glad to be here and looking forward to my new hobby!

I think most of us have more than most stores.

Unless you are really, really good, you are going to find that most ammo is more accurate than you are. I don't mean that as any kind of disparagement, just that variations in accuracy are more likely to be shooter induced than from the specific ammo being used.

WTS : Was collecting parts for an AR-10 build. Finally just bought a complete upper. 1) ar-10 .308 barrel. It is still in sleeve. I am 99% sure it is brand new, Ive never used it. Bore is perfect. Cant find receipt , Ill take $225 , much less than what I paid. Pretty sure I paid $350. 2) AR-10 BCG NEW. Ill take $120, again about $50 less than what I paid. 3) AR-10 Tomohawk Charging handle NEW, Made by POF - USA. Just paid $89.95 plus s&h and tax. Ill take $75.00 TOTAL $420.00 $400.00 for all. Not breaking it up. Will trade for 5.56 or 9mm. All or partial, at a fair price, not what these clowns out there are charging now. I am in Ocean County near exit 74. Buyer will need to come close to me. The first "I'll take it" gets it. Please send PM or txt at 732-486-9600 Thanks, Jeff

Hollow points are legal to own. There are travel restrictions, think of like a handgun. Longer 9mm barrels have a preference for 147 grain bullets from what I hear. Also get some mags for your gun! You can find them on ebay, gunmagwarehouse.com, and other places. You thinking of getting a handgun next?

If you are looking for some range ammo, there is a listing for some 9mm fmj on the wts section here! Also make a post on the wtb section also! Look into ammoseek.com for instock alerts also! Been buying ammo from Target sports, Simmons sporting goods, natchez, lax ammo and recoil gunworks during this ammo storage online. Also check on your local gun shops also.

I approve this message:)

I like it! not a ruger pcc fan, if you go that route you gotta get the original imho

I wanted something for home defense and range shooting. I talked to an old friend who has been a long-time shooting/gun enthusiast and an ex-LAPD officer. He suggested a 9mm carbine of some sort. With the current state of affairs and New Jersey restrictions, it was very difficult to find a 9mm that suited what I wanted. I came across the Troy A4 and liked the idea of it being an "other firearm". It seems to cover all the bases of what I'm looking for and my friend tells me that Troy is a well regarded manufacturer. He suggested I go for it. I had been considering one of the Ruger PCC's but the size of the A4 is very appealing to me. Hope I'm happy with my purchase!!!

Again?!?!... geez. Where you finding these deals? And have you loaded any rounds yet??

You gotta snap it up fast. I keep an eye out on reddit r/instock (private sub but you can request membership). Natchez had the 9mm and some .40 for pretty much pre-covid standard pricing. Edit:

I haven't ever been happy with federal accuracy, at least the American eagle and Champion lines. Even their 5.56 is 2-3 moa. Its literally just cheap reliable ammo.. I have plenty and don't shoot it.. the day I brought my first box of reloaded ammo to the range was the last day I brought a factory box with me. Now I have cheap reliable ammo thats accurate, lol. Honestly, these are plinking type rounds, they are economical and for volume shooting. "Match" ammo is much more expensive if you want consistency.

It's been a while since I shot factory, but when I did, blazer was always quite consistent. And their bullets are decent. Which is basically all that matters. In general, even offhand, I find a difference in jacketed, plated, and coated. With accuracy increasing in that order more or less. Specifically, you will often find some guns like heavier or lighter bullets. Most of my 9s like 115, they all like fast 124 ammo though, so it is what I load.

Hey I appreciate the bump! Saw this thread just now and set up my Smile donation Org. I spend so much there, it's good to know it doesn't just benefit me now, Thanks!

we will see that again, mark my words. Profits bring players and players bring supply not to mention, there is no way 5mm new gun owners are going to hoard the way some do and we'll see supply. Won't be for a while, more pain to come but........ then again, I didn't think we'd see these prices in such a rapid fashion but I did not anticipate the riots etc..

My half-stock .50 cal Lyman Trade Rifle with 1/48 twist loves 370 grain T/C Maxi-Balls w/ 72 grains of FFFg real Goex underneath. Here's what I've done at 50 yards offhand with primitive, non-adjustable open iron sights during a regular monthly competition at Old Bridge R&P Black Powder league, 89 x 100-4X. As you can see I'm guilty of minor "vertical stringing" due to heart beat. The one in upper right is a called flier. Those Maxi's have a habit of "twinning" themselves as you can see here on this B-19 50 Yard International Target. Bicentennial quarter for size. Notice how sharply cut the bullet holes are. I earned my NRA Distinguished Expert in Muzzleloading Rifle with this rifle & Maxi combo. Here's what a single 370 grain Maxi can do to a 290 pound hog with a headshot at 22 yards. He dropped where he was hit!

That's the way I've been, bought when I saw a good deal, but never sold. But, I was looking at inventory the other day and said "where the hell did all this 22LR and 9mm come from?" Then, wifey asks "why is the floor sagging?" My favorite quote "He who dies with the most toys, wins!".

@Rob0115 - relevant to your interests: https://savejersey.com/2020/10/crime-guns-reoffending-criminals-new-jersey-phil-murphy/

bingo, new toys!!!!!!!

SOLD PLEASE CLOSE

Ha.... Looking at the current prices, I'm really tempted to off load some stuff I'll probably never shoot. I don't need the cash, but like you said, it would nice way to put that cash towards other toys.

aaaaaddddddiiiiiiicccccctttttttiiiiiiioooooooonnnnnnnn learn to cope now:)

I have sold 2k, 600 and 650 for 1k rounds each to people who begged. At these prices, I could buy another higher end classic car on 5.56 alone and that doesn't even get to other calibers...lol buy cheap, stack deep

Yup. He wanted it bad, but the North Jersey contingent wanted Murph as guv to push him onto the national stage. Murph has failed miserably, so their current hope is for a Biden win and a cabinet position for Murph; which clears the way for Sweeney in 21.

You have the rifle covered. Now you need a shotgun and a handgun!

I found this FM 23-5 for U.S. Rifle Caliber .30, M1 the blue tip ammo is designated Incendiary, M1. "This cartridge is used against unarmored, flammable targets. The tip of the bullet is painted blue Kinda gives the term "hot load" a new meaning!

Welcome!

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/880426295 it is in NJ

Bastard!

Gunbroker always has a few up for sale. I beleive they stopped or slowed production of them to the US to fulfill contracts for the time being.

Welcome! What made you choose a 9mm "other" as your first? Be sure to check the"Meet Ups" section for the clay shoots out in Clinton. Doesn't sound like are far away from the Clinton Wildlife Management Area. You contended a shotgun. Just bring a box of clays and some shells.

Welcome! Some advice, even though your Troy will take some time to get in your hands, consider picking up ammo now. Its tough to find.

Welcome! Look into taking a safety class now. There's been a lot of interest lately and you may fine a long wait. TTC in Flemington is closest and does offer classes.

As long as you don't intend to use it for an illegal act its legal to possess. I shoot paper with mine... is that not legal? Nothing would preclude me from leaving it in the trunk for range visits. Sometimes I can squeeze in some range time after work, which is on my way home. Its no different than carrying a box knife, so long the intended use is a legal activity. you dont need to have boxes in your possession for that to be legal. Same application here... unless you want to argue carrying a knife is illegal too?

I've only used T/C's Maxi-Ball in my 1:48 twist Renegade. Buffalo Bullets worked as well when I could get them, but the 425 gr. Maxi-Ball always gave me the best accuracy, so I've stuck with that.

http://recoilnj.com/ @Smokin .50 did a nice write up on them: Tried to link the fb article Rosey wrote, but it's not working for me. It's on the CNJFO fb page.

For those that can't see the above linked article, I'll reprint here in its entirety: RECOIL SHOOTING RANGE HOLDS GRAND OPENING TODAY! NJ's NEWEST 25 YARD INDOOR RANGE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! by Black Wire Media Sat. Oct. 3, 2020 www.cnjfo.com/join-us Recoil NJ, New Jersey's newest indoor shooting range, opened just this morning at 25 Mott Ave. Monroe Twp. (Middlesex Co.) NJ, within minutes of NJTP Exit 8A. Featuring 16 spacious 25 yard firing lanes, air conditioned & heated for your comfort, each lane has a programable target system to send & retrieve your target carrier. The range can handle up to .308 Winchester / 7.62mm NATO rifle rounds, and the entire facility is acoustically baffled, with each shooting lane protected by fully-encapsulated AR-500 steel plate for your safety. CNJFO Vice President Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal visited this afternoon and was invited "to take a ride" on Marlboro, NJ resident Eddie Farah's Smith & Wesson .357 magnum, firing a round through the "X"-ring (see target close-up photo). Farah is seen firing in Rosey's photo. The Coalition gave these images to Recoil NJ to use as they see fit, so you may see them on the Range's Facebook & website soon This family-owned & operated business is open 7 days a week, and offers both hourly lane rentals for walk-ins and an annual membership, with first responder & senior discounts (see photo of price list). The range will be supplying some swag for upcoming Coalition outings, and CNJFO brochures & business cards are proudly displayed on their counter, so be sure to pick one up when you visit and/or join! At present there are no gun or ammo sales or rentals, so shooters must bring their own unloaded and cased firearms & ammo with them. Registration & sign-up are easily handled via a kiosk with assistance by their friendly & courteous staff. The range sells paper targets and plans on offering firearms training in the near future. For the latest info, hours, directions, etc., please visit their website: http://recoilnj.com/about-our-range/ @kc17 Thanks for the kudos Sir! Hope everyone enjoys the story & pix. The shot thru the center of the X-ring is mine

Yes you did. As stated in the post prior, the new 4473 is mandatory on Nov 1st. The firearms being purchased must be listed on the form prior to the purchaser filling out their info. My post was referencing the following:

I failed to mention the barrel twist rate has a lot to do with which bullet to use. The older traditional sidelock guns have a slower twist in the barrels. Some are 1:48" and some 1:60 or 66". The newer guns and most inlines are 1:35 or even 1:28". Sabots fly better with a faster twist barrel. I have 2 traditional bp guns and they shoot round ball and full size maxi hunters bullets good to 50-75 yards. Iron sights so I'm not shooting far. The twist in those is 1:48". When the weather is crappy/wet I bring out the stainless/synthetic T/C Encore and it likes a 240gr bullet in a sabot. It's barrel twist is 1:28". Rifle like accuracy. Leupold scope on it.

"Phil is Done in '21"

The systems to collect our taxes never go down by the way.

Personally, I went with a 12.5" barrel for my other, so I can change muzzle devices freely.

Just a note: After having played with the progressive press, I prefer my single stage! I don't like the fact that the metering for the Clays powder was just too inconsistent for me, coupled with the fact that I want to SEE the powder level in EVERY round! I use the progressive press to deprime and resize and set the new primer. I use my stand alone powder measure and finally, set the bullet with my single stage press. I know it takes more time but it makes me feel better about my end product!
