was it a misdemeanor or was it a crime?

Transfer is going to be more than $20. NICS in NJ is $16.05 and most FFL's will charge a minimum of $30 to do a transfer, so you are looking at $45 for a transfer. Do yourself a favor, reach out to an FFL on the forum and ask them to order the gun without the mags... I am sure the price will be close.

<ghetto> Get a forty five son. You don't need that puny 40. </ghetto> In all seriousness, I would look at a 9mm over a 40. a 40 caliber has its advantages and would be something to pick up for a competition gun. The recoil characteristics of a 40 caliber are a little snappy, which I do not like. Out of a steel gun it may not be bad, but all of the 40 calibers I have owned, I have sold. Including Glocks, Walthers and Sigs. a 9mm is very versatile round. If you want to step up from there... a 45 caliber will not be that much more to handle. In fact, I prefer and find shooting a 45 caliber is easier than a 40 caliber. However I would agree with Troy, you should start with a 22 Lr handgun for a first handgun, until you really know what your preferences are.

Best bet to take someone from the forum to meet up with you next time you shoot.

btw, not sure if the new model 60's come with the wood stocks or the plastic ones, but I do have my original wood stock for the model 60. Was replaced by Tim with a boyd's thumbhole stock.

Had both, have the model 60. Feeding the tube fed one is easier.... and has a bit of a novelty factor... although the mags are load once and you are good for a while. Otherwise, both really good models.

I am 85% sure.... would have to ask the guys on PAFOA... but I believe too many people were irritated with it and it was reversed. I can be wrong about it though.

I believe that changed and you are allowed to now.

Thats a different story then.

yes.... you bought jacked hollow points... they make cleaner holes in the paper. =)

thanks to the vendors and I am glad was able to provide a good way to get in touch with them.

they typically dont last long... hence why I bought them. Had the same idea for a show, but have not seen Spikes lowers for less than $100 at any of the shows. Figure it no tax and free shipping... as opposed to lets say you find it at gun show... $90, + 10 entrance, plus + 6 tax + pics/nics, and you are spending the same money. Also, Valley forge is a big show, so the prices you will see there are not quite the best prices as you would run across at the smaller shows.

heh? dont get it dan. =) I never owned NJgunforum.com

Yes you can have it shipped. Depends on the vendor how they do it. Cabelas just ships it regularly, doesnt ask for copy of FID. Aim Surplus ships to home, however asks for NJ FID to be kept on file.

wooosahhhh..

+1 ray ray. great looking pair.

but anyway, eh, just another AK. Its shiny but dude... its an AK... they arent pretty.

Who pissed in your cheerios this morning? First of all... do pay attention to who the poster was, second of all, get off your high horse and correct your post.

Just got the flyer from Aim in my email. Noticeable deal was the Spikes AR15 lowers, $79.99 with free shipping. Just order a few, ship them to your friendly FFL. =) http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1STSL&groupid=6

10 pack for $15

Just got the postcard in the mail. http://wildoutdoorexpo.com/index.html

emails sent to registrars, complaints filed with internic. Will see where it goes.

Only the lower is considered the firearm. everything else can be shipped to your home.

btw, welcome to the forum. Having re-read your post, and seeing that your buddy shot it no problem, yes, its most likely you. You are most likely hitting it the second time from recoil... you shouldn't be pulling the trigger fast, but cleanly. take up the trigger, feel it break. More importantly, I think it would be wise for you to take a class considering you haven't shot in a long time. You are shooting a fine handgun, but by all means it is not the best first handgun. Will wait for a 1911 expert to see if it can be something mechanical.

um...... tooo much stuff wrong with this post. Has the gun been shot in the past? If you are shooting a 45 ACP your first time out, it is very likely you are bump firing the gun. Not knowing anything else, either 1. get the gun inspected by a competent gunsmith, buy a new box of ammo and let an experienced shooter try the gun. And why would you be holding the trigger while racking the slide?!?!?! In any case, I would not be shooting reloads from 20 years ago that I did not load myself, but that is just me.
