Legally, Pistol Permits, and FID.... considering it asks for it on the pistol permit. No COE is necessary. Best practice... draft up a bill of sale and ask for a copy of drivers license. Is it going beyond what is necessary.... yes... if the other person doesnt want to provide it... too bad.

Because Mason's like Sigs.

Are you buying a scope for shooting indoor at 25 yards or outdoor? In the sub 300 range.... look at Nikon, SWFA SS 10x, Mueller (not bad), Bushnell Elite, Burris, It is all about the quality of the glass and if it is blurry as heck at full magnification. Here is a moto I loved to learn.... Buy once, cry once. Glass should be ideally at least 50% of the cost of the rifle?

Alright people, relax. =) I can understand both sides of it. Ron, and a few others whom you are trying to attract are serious competitive shooters, who almost exclusively shoot competitively. This is more or less a fun shoot for shits and giggles, and a great event for someone who is new to this. I dont think anyone should make the money an issue. If you are a USANA member, I would absolutely go if it is $5. If I was a non member, and I had a choice between going to one or another, $30 for 50 rounds of fun which is a trial, or $40 which is going attract heavy hitters, 7 stages and alot higher round count, keep in mind, a 3 gun match... it is a no brainer. If you can do both, do both.... Bottom line, Ron... not everyone is a USPSA junkie.... Tosser/Medic lets not oversell the thing either and over hype it. It is a fun hang out and a trial run at bringing a legitimate 3 gun course to south jersey. better yet, think of it as warm up for Sunday. =)

So we got 4 people coming, who else? =P

Not familiar with golden bear. Is it brass cased? PPU? Honestly, I stay away from most of that ammo. PMC brass cased stuff is cheap and works just fine when I have to buy commercial.

I would say sell yours here. You will come out ahead. If you are looking at the Witness, there is a Baby Eagle 40 cal here for sale. Same thing as the Witness, based on CZ design, but is Israeli, with parts made by Tangfolio, ie, same company that makes the Witness, but has a slide mounted safety. Private sale, save on transfer.

Ulyanovsks is another Russian supplier, just different factory for the same ammo/specs. All of the russian stuff is the same stuff, and in all, the government is the major owner. Here is a link I found... http://www.ak-47.us/Article_Detail.php?g=content1203321946

Some of the older stuff was. My folks in Russia do point out that same control over both... just a question what the importer of the day is, or where the government produces the ammo based on capacity. the Arms industry in russia is consolidating, with companies like Vyatskii Polyni (makers of the Vepr) being "liquidated" and absorbed into Izmaesh/Saiga. Wolf Gold is mostly rifle ammo, havent seen alot of new stuff, but it is all brass cased. Once again, made by Prvi on contract, sold under the wolf name. Their deal was that ammo was to be imported into the states by Wolf, and in Europe it would be sold by Prvi. I guess when Wolf lost the license, Prvi just started importing it themselves. Wolf ammo is commercial, like Tula. Some of the older Brown bear, was actually just repackaged old late-modern surplus ammo. And silver bear was new production. Now pretty much all the same crap.

btw, a quick update for those that dont know... Tula, Wolf, Brown Bear, Silver Bear, Herters, are all made at the Tula/Wolf Plant in Russia. Wolf Gold is made by Prvi Partisan in Serbia.... good ammo. Now, what most will probably not know. Had a discussion with a Wolf master distributor a few weeks ago. Wolf lost the license in the United States to import arms and ammo, so now it is imported under the Tula name. All of the old wolf products, are now repackaged and resold as Tula.

+1

Most of my issues were that it would extract, but not enough uuumph to cycle all the way through to chuck the brass at the end, and strip the next round into the chamber.

Ben, see post above. Wolf would not cycle my sig 556 or Tim's bushy, however have seen other Stag's , Smiths, and Rock River's eat it up all day long.

I highly doubt it does all of the above. Does the first round in the mag go Bang? Some guns have an issue as steel cased does not seal as well as brass, thus there is not enough gas to cycle the action. I had some guns that would not be able to feed it, and some guns that will use it up all day long. You really have to know the gun. Some guns I ran accross, would only cycle cheap wolf/tula/silver/brown bear ammo. They could not cycle brass. You live and learn... spend a bit more to get pmc brass cased ammo. Buying a Ferrari and trying to save $.02 on gas only gets you so far.

To get the Ipohone loving people away from Att. And this is more for Apple. Droid sales are taking a chunk out of Iphone sales, to the point where they cannot have an "exclusive" carrier. ie... I would consider the iphone, however no way in hell would I go on ATT service. Same thing as with the original Mac's.... apple could not keep Microsoft and softwindows away for ever, in order to grow, they had to cater to the mass markets. Lastly, there is a reason to develop it for the Verizon system... CDMA being used by both Sprint and Verizon.... and most of all, 90% of all the prepaid services which are using either the Sprint or Verizon backbone/white box systems.

Some guns chew it up like candy. Others have issue with it. Live and learn. How old is the gun? Last time cleaned? Define jam? What exactly happens? It doesnt feed the next round? It does not extract the old case? or is the bullet itself stuck in the barrel and you have to push it out?

ah.... a Masshole. =) So million dollar question.... do you use your turn signals? So what brings you here?

+1. The XD's come with the holster/pouch, so not really extra for that. up to $500... but if you dont like it... dont get it

Wow, that is really awesome Ty! look really good

PMC is as cheap as it gets for 223 Brass. CLICK LINK TO SUPPORT THE FORUM

take the 5 mins and fill out the two COE's, doesnt cost you anything.

see, guys, you are thinking about this wrong... it is APPLE! First... they will release it to Verizon to get every pozer on verizon who wanted an iphone but could not get it.... then... 3 months later, they will release it on the 4g network to get the very same people to buy a brand new phone.... Get an Evo... Better, Faster, Cheaper.

You should make a youtube video out of it... Thanks McD.... I can now go buy ammo with the money I won from you!

I am just wondering, how is this different from the AR 15 platform as it is... You can still swap the uppers now. =) Granted, you cant go 223 to 308 in the same lower... but other calibers yes.

Will see you all there. I am glad the NJ2AS is able to land someone like Scott, and as much as I would love to take credit for it, as part of the NJ2AS bod, lol, it was all Frank! Frank, is Scott going to be avail for questions after?
