What others have said. =) take a look at the serial number to see the series and year of production. Is it pre war? during the war? or last ditch? Some of the late last ditch models have a bit more of a collectible value to it in some people's eyes. Some of the last ditch ones will be found unissued/unfired. Otherwise... Type 99's have some of the strongest receivers out of the surplus rifles. Only thing is the ammo. For more specifics, I would defer to surplusrifle.com and surplusrifleforum.com

Would this be affiliate with USPSA or any other organization? If so, would be worth it to the folks 2 hours away. =)

Saeme thing, except Dicks has it in green.

Mikey... But on the bright side... all of this gun control will make you safer in Staten Island.

Bar none, if you plan on being in NJ for more than 2 years, Join CJRPC. It is the best club. I am in the boat that a few others are in... quite frankly I do not know if 2 years from now, I will be in NJ, or Bucks County PA.

record? care to share?

Dicks often has them on sale. Not online. Drop by the store.

If you want to go the cheap route... I would look on craigslist for office furniture. They should have a lateral file cabinet, that is locking... or a fireproof one. For under $100 you should be goooood to go.

10 round mags and how tough it would be to get permits considering it is NYC. Ask Bry@n. He would have a better idea.

I will be at BA as meeting some folks.

exemptions.

+2 Tims Zombie squad. =P J, Tim can beat you up.

Ray Ray's is quite a nice gun and is a collectible too. Only less than 10% of the guns imported during those 3 years were that finish. Grips are a+ too.

Ray, that is the Magpul AFG (angled fore grip). I have one if you want to buy it.

What pistols do you have to use?

Depending on how old the model is. They are highly collectible and can occassionaly be found for under $650 or $700, however watch for abused guns. If you want ultimate security, shell out the $800 and buy one new. On Gunbroker or gun stores, you may be able to find one in great condition for less. Will type up more.

Keep us informed on the upcoming classes. Perhaps a class at a lower price point with perhaps a little less handholding for those that are more do it yourselfers? Or an agenda of what will be gone over. Thanks! Really awesome that the classes are sold out. Woot Woot!

Eh, let the guy do his thing... Dont let it reflect on you when it is a reflection on himself.

That is the key Eddie. Could not have said it better myself. By being largely NJ focused, and being that we are all within a reasonable driving distance, the forum is just an outlet for relationships, it is not the sole place. I cannot even begin to count how many wonderful folks I have met in the past year and a half, and how many life long friendships that were formed. Not too long ago, Wolfy and I were having this discussion about how different it would be to go shoot if it was not for the forum. Take any Tuesday night at BA. Before the forum, it was any other night. Folks would just come in, go to their port, and be lucky to say hello to someone else. Mostly it was about getting in, and focusing on yourself. With the forum, you are not just going to shoot, you are going to catch up with friends. Personally, I primarily go down on Tuesdays to say hello to folks, see what new toys people brought, and most of all, to kill 3 hours or so with friends. I can guarantee, that if for some reason the forum was not around... many many friendships that were formed on here, would still keep on going, and that... I am most proud of. As any board, we do have some cancers... and they were cut. The common factor between all of these people is that they still have a "me first" mentality, and think that this is some kind of a large national board where the odds of you meeting someone face to face are slim to none. For that reason, they think it gives them a reason to act like douchebags. Because we are local, and because most of us come out and shoot, have parties, hang out together, etc... it is not some anonymous board. For that reason, you cant play internet cowboy for too long and expect people to take you seriously if they never met you. For that reason, acting like a douchebag is not going to fly here, and if you are a cancer, you are not owed anything, .... and you will be cut, before you cause more damage and alienate other great people.

Have to spread the word. If you are a responsible, moral upstanding citizen, there is no no reason why you should not be proud to be a gunowner. When I started at my former office in Princeton, I started talking firearms with a coworker next office over... this is when NJGF was just launched.... then before you know it, we figure out that at least 50% of the office of 30 were gun owners... varying from avid shooters to "own a shotgun in the closet" type of folks. Keeping it taboo, is what put us in this position, very much what KenW mentioned. By not communicating with the residents about responsible gun owner, and keeping gun owners a "club" is what will slowly kill anything. So if you are a good person, nothing to hide. Alot of my clients I thought were more liberal... turns out, as more and more of my shooting videos and photos spread on facebook and so forth, they havent left, and in fact, a few are happy to know about it. Now... if you are an anti-Semite, or a white supremacist or something, and it shows... well, perhaps that answers why people are worried that you are a gun owner, and in that case perhaps it is time to reconsider many many things, such as place of residence.

Radek, just come out.... but Ron posted in another thread videos.... they will answer all of your questions. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18511-new-to-uspsa/ Personally, I am using for single stack a Smith 1911 Pro Series 9mm, 6 magazines, Double Alpha Belt, 2 Safariland 771 mag pouches, a double mag pouch, and a Blackhawk Serpa Holster. Am tempted to try production as well, would shoot Hk P30L there in 9mm, or Limited10 around the Baby Eagle 45... but need a few more mags for my comfort level. But equipment is not the most important part... almost any gun will work, just make sure you have enough magazines. =)

I would absolutely contact the FFL to make sure they would be ok with it. They are not in the business of gun storage, nor are they paid to store your guns. As long as a gun you ordered is in their safe, they are liable for it.

gorgeous! =)

I reallly like the CZ's. They are natural pointing guns and quite reliable. People in the Soviet Union loved to have CZ's, and the typical first 9mm an Eastern European would buy. They were cheap, so many westeners avoided them, however they found the hidden secret. There are numerous CZ copies out there, TZ's, EAA Witness/Tangfolios, Baby Eagles/Jericho's, Cherochee's, etc. They are that good. I have shot the standard DA/SA and enjoyed when I had the CZ 85. I have not shot the SAO, but would love to. It is one of those guns that you buy, then you sell, then you regret it. It is a workhorse that will not blow you away, but will be missed when it is no longer there. My only pet peeve with them, the slide, as it sits inside the frame, is very thin and tough to manipulate.

Btw, the Pistol Permits are... "Purchase Permits", not for gifts, etc... ie... why you do not need an FID to accept willed firearms...
