  1. so here is a little preview... starting with our vendors. Will launch as soon as I have the info from our vendors, and then we will work to fill in the rest. Towards the bottom we have more info such as transfer fees and any storage fees.
  2. Which one? =) My article or the news one?
  3. I have shot them at Shot Show and I know a few dealers in NJ are listed as stocking dealers. Did not get a ton of time with them but they were pretty nice, and really did put thought into the guns. Build quality was okay. It was not HK but certainly not hi-point, etc. Maybe Taurus+ area?
  4. Vista Outdooris getting pummelled after poor results and providing bad future guidance. In essence, they see slowing gun and accessories sales. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/vista-outdoor-profit-and-sales-tumble-on-slumping-demand-for-guns-and-ammunition-2017-05-11 For the vendors, have you seen it hit yet? I wrote about it on Seeking Alpha in the beginning of the year, but one of the articles was a little too edgy and not published. oops. This one was published however. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4041210-shot-show-2017-warning-shot-across-bow

    One of the issues with the tiny guns is that the grip is way too small, thus I find the appeal of the extended base pads as it makes the grip a tad longer. Those +4's on the other hand... just wayyy too much it seems.
  6. Any smart business would already be doing that. The problem unfortunately is that this is NJ and just due to the difficulties of being opened, once you are, you get plenty of business just walking in. The vast majority of the FFL websites are just plain.... bad. Almost makes you want to start an FFL. =)
  7. Guys please, let's at least take 24 hours before killing someone's character. I really have no knowledge of the guy or what he has done, but at the very least we can keep his family in our prayers. There are appropriate sections to really let your feelings out, this public section is not one of them. Thanks!
  8. Ah, just was able to find it. https://www.facebook.com/RecoilNJ Looks like some bad luck as of a month or two ago and they have to redo even more land. Jeez.
  9. Recoil? For Union Hill would message @Legend Firearms
  10. Thanks for this and already integrating these into our project. I have spoken with a few b&m FFLs and the issue would actually be with the larger stores where they have a ton of inventory and would mean having someone else just to keep it up to date on the websites, etc. .... BUT there is a potential solution to this however obviously can't require them to list inventory. Shall see. Should have something to show by the end of the week. Keep the ideas coming.
  11. I can see confusing 40 and 9, but 40 and 45? much bigger difference.... but yeah, I guess plenty of newer shooters.... or person thought it would be "cool" to experiment.
  12. I will actually redo that sheet and make it part of NJGF.... glad you found it helpful.
  13. Actually here you go guys... something I made for my clients a while ago. PDF - http://www.maksfs.com/downloads/firearmsblank.pdf XLS - http://www.maksfs.com/downloads/firearms.xls And the article to go along with it. http://www.maksfs.com/make-sure-your-loved-ones-know-about-your-hidden-wealth/
  14. +1 it to attach the sheet or drive with a letter of instruction for disposition to your latest copy of your will.
  15. Back when the forum started, folks found this program called Gun Safe, or something like that, which was a fairly simple database program, but was flexible enough. Currently I keep a spreadsheet, make/model/year/distiguising features/ purchase price, serial number, dob (if known). I then try to routeinely update the values. Prior to that I had a more complicated sheet that even tracked from whom purchased, or sold, and gains/losses per transaction. During routine cleaning, I take pics of them all. Spreadsheet is cool but I will start writing in a notebook. Either email it to yourself securely, and not to a gmail account, or keep a flash drive and a burned dvd somewhere safe. Most important use of the sheet.... know the serials in case they get stolen.... OR.... more likely.... god forbid when you pass away, make sure your next of kin or wifey/husband/partner knows about the list.... and knows what you actually have and what the value is.... so they don't trade it in at a gun buyback!. Depending on the strength of your tinfoil hat.... Google Drive/Microsoft and others give you free cloud storage space for one reason... so they can learn about you. (for better advertising of course).
  16. Wow, thanks for that. Learn something new.
  17. Really? Make money on tear down? I would think it is a pain and have passed a few with some acres and buildings to tear down.
  18. Use cards asap. Set number of days as per bk agreement to use them.
  19. Maksim replied to fishnut's topic in General Discussion
    makes sense.... and I guess easy to forget when you imagine a poodle as a tiny little thing that sits in a purse.... and not as a mid sized dog. Did not know they were hunting dogs.
  20. Good idea on the rentals. For the rentals question, for most ranges I believe if you have FID you are fine. GFH and RTSP do a good job explaining it on their websites, GFH particularly. And as far as I understand, now an insurance issue.
  21. Johnny, THANK YOU. That is exactly what I am looking for and what we attempted to do in the past. The one thing I will say up front, I can see getting a ton of pushback on listing inventory... as you can understand some bigger stores have hundreds of guns. The idea is to have a resource here.... on those issues. ie a Yelp for gun stores? =)
  22. Maksim replied to fishnut's topic in General Discussion
    My understanding, and wifey had a king poodle.... they have a bad temperament?
  23. Reason number 589 for reloading.... you know the flash hole is there. =P
  24. Where is the property? In NJ or In Pa or another state that is on a shale formation? Was completely foreign to me until I started dealing with some of these oil and natural gas investments, but.... in states like PA, VA, WV, etc, it is not uncommon that the land you are buying.... may not come with all of the rights, namely mineral rights. Since it is an older property... may want to have a lawyer double check to make sure you know what if any land rights have been stripped away or sold separately. In layman's terms, and I know just enough to be dangerous with it, you have the actual land rights, ie what you build on it, and typically the air rights to it. Then there is the separate mineral rights, ie below the surface. In states that are close to drilling, many times landowners sell off those mineral rights to a third party who would either develop it or sell the lease on it to an exploration company. For the owner, they get the cash and never thought the rights would be valuable, particularly if the land would be "too expensive" to develop. Fracking technology and this drop in gas/oil prices has put pressure on everyone in the production line to the point that a few companies we dealt with, in the WV area had a break even of about $12 per barrel for oil. Parts of NW and Western Jersey are in the zone... but still a bit expensive to develop. As such... something to watch out for or at least be aware of.
