Does anyone know or care that today we honor those who died at Pearl Harbor, December 7th.....both my uncle and aunt survived the attack by the Japanese fighter planes that day...... At 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time, a Japanese dive bomber bearing the red symbol of the Rising Sun of Japan on its wings appears out of the clouds above the island of Oahu. A swarm of 360 Japanese warplanes followed, descending on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in a ferocious assault.

And a couple kind forum members with the same attitude help me out greatly with ammo when I picked up my first rifle and pistol, ammo was nowhere to be found, but members here sold me two 500 round cases at a very fair price. Did they make a few dollars? Absolutely! Did they deserve to? Absolutely!

Glock 19.

Breaking rulz i know.... @tomgwarrior ...that is less than the going rate ... wake up.. @Dave Archibald... bro...too low !!! Apologies for breaking FS..thread rulz.

Got me one of these tonight... Well, not really, but close... Model 29-3 Silhouette Model - 10 5/8" barrel .44 Mag Adios, Pizza Bob

No.

You and I think exactly the same on this. I may have even posted it on this forum. Newbies, who are friends, get my ammo at pre-panic prices. Anyone who owned firearms during the post-Sandy Hook shortage should have known better and get zero sympathy from me.

Similar here. In fact, the panic of 2012-2014 coincided with my new found preparedness mindset that stemmed from Hurricane Sandy. That new mindset is what got me back “all in” into 2A and firearms. So over these years have acquired an “adequate” amount of ammo for my needs. Worth repeating something I once read. “The ammo you have on hand may be all you were ever have.” and factoring this into your inventory planning. As an aside, about a year ago I donated approx. 4K rounds of 22lr to CNJFO for their youth shoots. Still thrilled to have done that regardless of the current price.

Here is my 1970 Pontiac Lemans Sport. The GM A bodies are the best!

Thanks Nick, Needed that!

It's a Model of 1917 and is chambered for .45 ACP. These were produced by both Colt and S&W (this one being a S&W). 1911 production couldn't keep up with demand during WWI so the government approached Smith and Colt to build .45 ACP revolvers on their large revolver frames. The problem clambering a revolver for a rimless cartridge was solved by the invention of half-moon clips that held three cartridges and a pair would fit ina belt mounted ammo pouch. well after the war the .45 Auto Rim cartridge was developed. These had a rim equal in thickness to an ACP cartridge head plus the half moon clip.These precluded the use of the half moon clips, which were a PITA (in wartime the clips and the empty brass were just discarded). Much later, full moon clips were developed. These hold six rounds. Half Moon Clips vs. Full Moon Clips In 1937 Smith produced essentially identical revolvers for the Brazilian military. There were also civilian versions of the 1917. When S&W went to model numbers in 1957, these became the Model 22. Sorry you asked, aren't you? Adios, Pizza Bob S&W has a "Classic Line" of revolvers that pay homage to discontinued guns of the past. The civilian version of the Model of 1917, the Model 22, is part of that line. It was made in blue, nickel or color case hardened finish. These are mine in nickel and CCH

Didnt see anything during PA Buck regular firearms week. Plus only had a day and a half to hunt. Luckily got a doe tag. Unlike NJ doe tags are limited by county and are frst come, first served. Once they are sold out that's it. Only had one day to fill doe tag. Wasn't looking promising. Sat from 5:30 - 11:30 without seeing a thing. Took a lunch break to eat and the sat again starting around 1pm. Again nothing was moving at all. Was about to give up hope and thought it would be another wash. Then about 15 minutes before it would be too dark to shoot any more something moved VERY close on my left. A doe came from behind and on my left. She couldn't have been 25 feet or so away. I remained perfectly still as she had turned and was looking directly at me in my ground blind. Finally she moved a bit further away and turned presenting me with a nice shot I fired, she jumped and ran. Through the scope I saw the impact of the bullet and knew it was a solid hit. I mean it couldn't have been much more than 50 feet! She ran about 50 - 75 yards and that was it. Great end to a very long day!

......... 2020 isn't *that* bad....timing seems to be everything...had to step up a bit on price..but it is now secured.....

I've heard so many good things about the Thermapen. I did cheap out, and buy this instead: Instant read thermometer I've had it for a year, and find myself using it a LOT. So far, I'm very happy with it.

Let's not go there.

Both the gun in the movie and the gun I just purchased are "real" things. The gun in the movie is a long barreled Colt New Service revolver in .45 Colt and mine, of course, is a S&W 29-3 Silhouette made from 1983 - 1991 - this specific one dates from 1988. Adios, Pizza Bob

I care, my flag is flying today in honor:

It comes down to how fast the PD processes them and how many people are working on them. Plus, the electronic version is new, so the PD has to learn the software too. I was the first one in my town to apply when the FARS system came online, and my PD told me they were learning the system, and it took longer. Then, the permits sat on the Chief's desk for a week, waiting his signature. I recently put in for more permits and my PD said they were learning the new electronic system now and were really backed up, so it varies from town to town.

They do they whole shebang over again, except the morphotrack part. That includes the mental health check. This is the NJ government at work. You didn't expect efficiency did you?

Spadea has been screaming about this for months now.

GLWS!

I'm a fan of all quick cars, foreign and domestic, old and new. If they're beautiful, all the better. My boring VW Golf R can handle the twisties even on wet and snowy days, haul my fishing and biking gear, get 25+ mpg, and trap around 115 mph all day long. Super reliable, I'm good. If I had stupid money, I'd have a fine, 60s era Cobra replica, a Cayenne Turbo S, and my VW for keeping things under the radar. Okay, I'd kinda like an '87 GNX too.

It's against federal law to use the NICS database for any other purpose, I.e. Ammo sales. I believe that CA had to populate their own database. Of course that would be at taxpayer expense. Adios, Pizza Bob

Went today and it was windy and cold. Luckily had the long johns and a down jacket today.

Decided to hold onto it. Listed too low!

Of course there is! It is to keep us as disarmed as the Trenton Swamp Creatures can get away with. And also to stuff their greedy fists with our hard earned dollars, at $15 (or more) per NICS check, which the NJSP do for free utilizing the FBI database, as most states allow their FFLs to do, instantly no less! Just wait until Gov Gopher gets the legislature to force ammo sellers to do NICS check on ammo purchasers. What starts in Commifornia generally spreads to the other Progressive states, just like a bad case of herpes.

Someone 'complained' in a forsale thread..about he price of .22 lr 45 per 500..or so. Yes that is LESS than the going rate..i sold two bricks at 85 a pop yesterday... i PAID .05 a round....back years ago...do i feel bad ? Not one bit...the buyers are seasoned shooters... who REFUSED to pay attention.. NEW shooters get a pass....and good prices

Nice. Congrats on the harvest.

The FBI dropped everything to run an investigation of Blasey Ford’s bullshit allegations of high school party’s 35 years ago. Yet...they can’t seem to be bothered to look into what would be the most heinous crime against this country since Kennedy was assassinated. Right... and there’s no deep state?

Bro. Win the lottery. Problem solved.

I am really torn! I have ammo I could sell but who knows what the future will bring? I keep asking myself questions. Life keeps me busy and I don't shoot much now. I have more than I'll ever use but what if SHTF? Great for bartering! I don't need the money so that holds me back. What it ammo doubles or triples in the next year or so? I will kick myself for selling low! I reload so I really don't need all that factory stuff. except for the .22s.....I can't seem to find dies for those! I know exactly what will happen....I will do nothing and when I die, my Son will take it to the closest LGS and let it all go for a couple hundred bucks! Along with my guns! Little bastard!

Bro. Move. Out of this state.

Like glen said. I ate the boxes too Just the smell of it. Orgasmic.

Here's some data that goes along with the OP. I love it when my defense and gun stocks make me more money. ...."Shares of Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. rallied Friday, after the gun maker reported another big profit beat and sales that more than doubled, as demand for firearms continued to surge to record levels. "In a post-earnings conference call with analysts, Chief Executive Mark Smith said the “second consecutive record-breaking quarter” came as federal background checks, which he said are considered the best available proxy for consumer firearm demand, were 57.5% above levels seen in the same period a year ago. The stock has more than doubled (up 119.6%) in 2020, while the S&P 500 index has gained 14.3%. “In October, we conducted an attitude and usage study of over 1,200 law-abiding firearm owners with the goal of gaining a better understanding of today’s firearm consumer,” Smith said on the analyst call, according to a FactSet transcript. “The research indicated that for those people who own firearms, the average number of firearms possessed was eight.” And NSSF research indicated that about one in four new gun owners went on to buy additional firearms at higher prices than their first purchase. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/smith-wessons-stock-jumps-on-another-big-profit-beat-amid-record-gun-demand-11607112618?mod=home-page

You are still wrong. We can, and have repeatedly dried up the whole world because the US domestic ammunition market dwarfs everything else in the ammo world. Your understanding of the market is shit, and your need to imagine a conspiracy doesn't help. The fact that 5 million people did it is not digestible because they didn't. That is not what is going on. This does not make it a conspiracy. Last "panic" that impacted global supply was not actually the 2012 panic but the previous one under Bush that had us already buying and then added a HUGE purchase from the military and homeland security To the tune of nearly 3 billion rounds in ~2 years. At that time the us ammo market was ~11 billion rounds, about 7 billion of that produced domestically, and about 1.8 billion of that being rimfire ammo. To come in with an order of 9 billion rounds of mostly .223 and 9mm put a hurting on availability of those rounds and related components. Today you have us domestic supply for ammunition that sits at about 8.1 billion rounds. Since I can't find numbers for now, lets assume it too increased capacity by about 14% and moved from 4 billion to about 4.5 billion. That gives us an annual capacity of about 12.6 billion rounds of ammo. So some quick math. WE had roughly 100 million gun owners in the US. We added about 7 million new ones. That is 107 million gun owners roughly. Now lets say they all decide they want one 50 round box of ammo. That's 5.35 billion rounds of ammo there. Lets say they want 150 rounds each. That's now 16+ billion rounds of ammunition. Significantly greater than the global supply. If it was just the 7 million new owners buying, they would need to buy just 1800 rounds a piece to completely eat up the existing manufacturing capacity. This unlikely to be the case, but it is also not unimaginable when you see that lesson one second one of being a new gun owner for them is that this shit runs out and you need to supply your own inventory in an emergency. But I can guarantee you 100% that new gun owners would be averaging above 3 boxes a piece if they could get it readily. I also guarantee you that plenty of existing owners who never bought in bulk are now shopping in the 500-2000 round size purchase. This shitstorm is actually less bad than it could be, and that was because when this hit, we had an ammo GLUT and some of the lowest prices in recent history. If not for that ammo prices would be way higher and the shortages would be worse. But effectively we have 100% capacity going right now PLUS all the shit that was sitting in warehouses. If you are a a member of the government doing game plans on possibly confronting America's gun owners, there's a big implication in the fact that these numbers aren't much, much worse: These numbers tell us that a huge chunk of this ammo we've been buying over the years isn't getting shot. It's getting stockpiled. If everyone was out, the customer who buy by the 1000 instead of but they 100 would be putting a lot more pressure on the market. There's a shit ton of us not participating in this at all right now and it is still this bad. There's no conspiracy. There was a pandemic which made people fear their government and fear what will happen if a nation full of people suddenly winds up poor and hungry. Then you added violent riots. Then you add in the usual presidential election panic buying. You ARE seeing weird market forces though. One of the things magnifying this greatly are small shops who want to service their customer base are buying inventory at retail prices and reselling them with normal business markups. SO you are effectively seeing a retail supply chain version of compound interest going on. Part of what is fueling this is you have also seen some large manufacturers going into direct sales. So yes, you are seeing a bit of a breakdown in the distributor system that previously covered at or near 100% of the market. But it's failure is not some pre-planned, engineered thing to make a buck. It's a reaction to it being insufficient, and that reaction is not an efficient reaction.

Yes, I'm sure. I was referencing 3.5% FHA loans. Private lenders will sometimes remove it after 78% LTV: ....."The annual MIP, on the other hand, is a recurring expense that has to be paid for the life of the loan in some cases. Once upon a time, the annual mortgage insurance premium could be canceled when the borrower reached a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 78%. But that rule was changed in 2013, as mentioned above. Going forward, in 2014 and beyond, most FHA borrowers who put down less than 10% will have to pay the annual MIP for the life of the loan. It bears repeating: A down payment below 10% is what triggers this “lifetime” premium requirement (see table). http://www.fhahandbook.com/blog/do-fha-loans-require-pmi/

I had to show this wagon because one of my friend's father had one, although not in the condition below. I remember he asked to take us for a ride on RT 287 in NJ in the mid '70s. At that time going up towards Bedminster was still pretty light in traffic, especially after working hours. Well 3 or 4 of us were trying to find a polite way of declining because what teenager wanted to tool around in a station wagon. They weren't cool. Well we learned a thing or two about engines, especially when he opened it up on the Interstate! I couldn't believe a stodgy, heavy wagon could move like that! 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood 427 Station wagons are not usually thought of as muscle-cars, but the Kingswood deserves the label as it is a proper pavement punisher. In 1969, if you were picky with the options packages, you could order the big family truckster with the 427 cubic-inch Turbo-Jet V8, pushing 390-horsepower through a four-speed manual transmission. With all the kids strapped in, and despite weighing more than all the moons of Jupiter, the Kingswood could achieve a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 15.6 seconds. That’s not bad for a wagon the size of Texas designed for family hauling. "And some like two guns. But one's all you need if you can use it..." - Shane I have to repeat something. We're talking a station wagon off the line, not one of these one-offs that were made for racing by the car companies. "0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 15.6 seconds." Remember in 1969 the Kawasaki Mach III 500 had these numbers. It packed 50 odd HP and 12 second quarter mile times into a $999 package! www.cycleworld.com/sport-rider/1969-kawasaki-mach-iii-500/

Salomon's? Weshoot? Maybe try Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters in Bordentown? Not sure who else close by would have it. I had to get some from Heritage Guild Easton the last time I bought.

I hate to disappoint you guys, but the "last forgotten muscle car" is a lot newer than you think. Manufactured from 2014 to 2017 approximately 10K made, or about 2500 per year, I give you the Chevrolet SS... Most people have no idea what it even is, and those that notice the SS emblems invariably ask, "An SS what?" - Just an SS. Back in the muscle car hay day the SS was a Chevy trim line that could be added to various models. For the 2014 - 2017 car, it becomes a model name. Equipped with an LS3 engine, producing 415 HP and 415 Lb-Ft it came with a 6 spd automatic and later a 6 spd manual trans. Aside from the trans, the only options available were a sunroof and a full-size spare. This is truly the last muscle car. Adios, Pizza Bob PS: Yes I know that it is a re-badged Australian Holden Commodore, but Holden is no more also - so truly the last.

All A&D needs to be run out of the FFL which is tied to the space. Think of it as a liquor license. Same concept.

Not a chance in hell
