I also have some samples in 40 if anyone wants. Great guy too.

How is it a harder life just living in VT? Besides weather. hehe.

Ty, I have no issues with the durability of the mags, but rather crap getting into them. Most of the ranges here, and particularly in Virginia, have this fine crap gravel, which as soon as the mag drops on the ground, it gets all into it, and if you want to make sure the mag runs 100% of the time! you clean the mag when it hits the ground. At most local matches,depending on which gun I shoot, I will clean the mags after the match, or after every stage when they hit the ground. While this is for pistols, not being able to clean the mags that are modified are a very big turn off, unless I never drop the mag on the the ground, which may be sand, gravel, mud, etc. One example, shooting a match in Florida in. February, it was raining and the entire bay was thick mud. If you really needed to drop your mags to stay competitive, and as such, you really needed to unload and clean the entire mag. Now that NJ is not the only 15 round state, might it work? Or maybe have something where the baseplate can be taken off without extra pins having to be pushed out? Ie... Have the pins that are needed higher up in the mag that restricts capacity, but still allows you to take off baseplate easily and run a magazine brush through it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Ty, Ideally, it would take me less than 2 mins to take the mag apart, run the brush, and put it back together. And even though this would be a great step further, I don't know how practical it would be to do it at the range. This is coming from someone who is anal about cleaning, so take it with that in mind. For most, I am sure it would be fine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I remember a few years ago, if you put gun on consignment, you did not need permit to get it back. NJSP then started enforcing iirc, and as such, if nics, get gun back, need permit. Even for gunsmith/ffl. Will wait for ffl to chime in. But... if FFL logs gun in, typically it is in the book and needs nics to get back in nj.

The only issue would be getting the gun back, would require a nics/permit for a pistol, or nics/coe for rifles.

if they have an FFL. =P and you assign it to their books. there... covered the basics.

Makes sense.

Plus 1. You REALLY need a version where the baseplate comes off. For anyone that shoots matches, or drops mags on the ground, ability to clean the mag is an absolute must. Btw, what would be the difference versus having the stubby pmags?

That is the crazy part, upstate NY is like Alabama, but still governed by the city. I would absolutely love to buy land there, but it is NYC.

Here is an alternative. If you are going to the same range, ask them to hold the gun for you.

I honestly dont know about that. You should be able to use a carbine buffer in a full sized tube, but not a rifle buffer in a carbine tube, due to size. But I am by all means, not an AR expert. I typically use rifle buffers and tubes on mine.

Check out DSG arms. They usually have them in kits. Also aim surplus if you want to piecemeal it.

Now that I am at a PC.... the answer is, it depends on your department. Call them and ask them, or ask when you get your permits. Some departments want you to bring them in, some can mail in, some can drop off. Some will want you to wait a few days before they expire, others day of expiration, others don't care how long after expiration as long as it is still within the combined 3 + 3 months, and I have heard of a few that WILL NOT renew. The way the law is written, the department has an option to renew it. They don't have to. As such, it is up to them how they want to handle it.

You can also go NH. Quite a few bigger towns and still as friendly. Our friends live up there and while there are perks, real estate still seems to be about what we have here due to supply, but it is freaking cold.

But he is not carrying it, but rather transporting it, complying with any other regulation there would be otherwise. Difference Being method of transportation.

I just brought mine in a month after they expired to renew. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

For big paws... just go up to a Commander sized 1911, or even Sig 1911 RCS... er, is that commander?

Shot it a number of times at Shot Show and here. I much prefer the Beretta Nano. Better recoil management, better overall fit and finish.

speaking of reloading stuff, they do have components and accessories. but if I recall, a bunch of that stuff was highly priced. the best deals I have seen are on custom, competition type guns, as well as police trade ins.

I bought a couple of guns from them when we visit our friends in NH. It was recommended to me by rscalzo, a forum member who moved up there. They have a fantastic selection of guns, far more than Cabelas I would say. I am letting the secret out of the bag, but you can browse their used selection at www.ktpguns.com. I do recommend you look at the guns in person. The few guns I have seen or bought from them, their advertised condition, was a bit generous to say the least. The prices are really weird, some stuff over priced, some stuff very underpriced.

It is a judges opinion, fortunately there are no laws out for hoarding. I quite honestly don't think the judge is that knowledgeable about gun laws, or that we should go bonkers over it. Just as many people having more than 2 guns is unnecessary. It is an opinion. I don't like it either, but I would not put any more faith on it. It is not worth stressing over. If they wanted to see who has the most guns, they can call up NICS and see whose drivers license number, fid card or social was run the most.

He is talking about the ATF bound book. The FFL's also have a sale of multiple handguns form they have to fill out. It is a judge who was clearly against them with an agenda, however it is not some state thing. Every FFL in the states has to maintain that log book.

Another big factor is how hot the market is for those guns. Look at Colt Pythons. They have been going up in price every year, since no longer made, however you have a popular show... Walking Dead, and now there is even more demand for them. SVI makes hand crafted guns, and very few per year, minimum cost is $4,000... yet... you will not find used guns go for more than new, as "rare" as they are. (2 year wait list). As others pointed out, condition is also key. Another example, the soviet SVT-40, very few were made, but they are still fairly reasonable, about $1,000 or so, simply because most people don't know about them. Undoubtedly, Mosin snipers shot up after Enemy at the Gates.

I have 2... what you got? I am open, send me a pm.
