yes.... wed's depending on weather... only a few of us.

Ben.... Yes. during the weekdays, not busy at all, only perhaps during the first hour or so. On the weekends, it really is not bad. Especially now since the pistol range is open as well, and I have never seen it get busy/full.

You should of seen it at the range.... I was already expecting matt got his gun, and while walking back to set the targets, we were getting into a good discussion on New Jersey pistol permits.... something about 6 months, and extensions.... I couldnt even follow it. Then tim just goes out and says it.... "Matt's permits expired" lol.

You brought it on yourself. =) I told you... dont let it slip... =P

...Cept it's bogus quote. Is it? humn... percetion is reality. =P :mrgreen:

I think this is one of the most powerful i have seen.

=P wait for matt to tell you the story. it will be epic.

You can, however, the manager turned away a sale. Same reason why you need fid and log to buy only handgun caliber ammo, however dicks makes you present fid and dl for rifle ammo as well.

welcome to the forum. =) glad you found us, especially in the begining of your firearms hobby. there are many people here in central jersey, especially around the milltown, old bridge, monroe area. We usually get together on tuesdays at BA, or wed's at Ft dix for some outdoor fun. keep a look out in the events and meetup section, as between all of us, on nearly every day, someone is going shooting somewhere. If you want to go with anyone, just post in there if anyone is going, and if they are willing to meet up with you.

+1 to innovation.

Was an awesome time, on a terrific day to go shooting! Sun was shining, brass was in the air, and army guys going at it hard core next range over with semi auto 50 cals. got there a bit later in the day, at 1:30, and strayed through the end. Zeenon and co were just packing up. What a trooper, shooting from 8am. Anastasia and I met up with Pinky and the muscle for a good ole time. Would of been nice to play with pinky's new purchase. :mrgreen:

welcome to the forum.

They charge $35 + NICS. About as good as it gets around here. Some of the shops want way more. Rahway told me $75...Bullet shitHole $65...go to Shore Shot $35 + nics is about average... some charge as low as $25 plus nics. depends if handgun or rifle.

welcome!

here you go..... for those that are saying lost decade, why bother savings, etc.... Here is a real fund, with real numbers, with a 5% commission taken out as well. $500 to start, and adding $100 a month. Started in March of 2000, through march 1, 2010. http://www.maksfs.com/hypo.pdf You still average nearly 8% a year, after the major correction last year. Yep.... saving doesnt pay. :roll: Btw, this is a very popular fund with many advisors, last year, during the panic, it was down 21% as opposed to any index fund out there down 40%+. obviously working with any advisor, being down 21% you would want to jump off the bridge. this is a straight up regular mutual fund. Most of the client allocations also include hedged allocation funds, which try to capture both up and down in the market, and for that reason, some are up a bit more, but the name of the game is risk management, down only 9% after 9/11, and 21% in 2008. yup.... trully worth jumping off a building.

Does this mean there are going to be some guns for sale??? Hope all works out for him! He is not at that stage of dante's inferno though yet...but soon. But they are for sale as they were.... shooting and unemployment are not exclusively mutual. they havent been shot in years... unemployed only a few weeks.

How about an accuracy international in a 308 or would love a 338 lapua.... for those 1kilometer shots... from the roof of a local walmart or dicks. and in that case... they have a good amount of 308, but mostly 223 and shotgun shells in stock.. i think it is time to watch dawn of the dead again.

30's the new 20's you mean? but while things changed in some aspects... the need to save early hasn't. What has changed is the fact that no 20, 30 or 40 year old can depend on social security being there for them. Unless benefits are cut, or retirement age pushed back to at least 70, the money you are putting into FICA... is not going to be there for you. What that means, is that most of your income, will have to come from personal savings.

Live like no one will for the next 10 years, so you can live like no one can for the rest of your life. :shhh: Obviously no one is saying that saving should be an impediment on getting groceries... but are you going to remember the pack of smokes you have today, 10 years from now? People are so concerned about enjoying today, they will never have a future, or the bubble will burst as soon as they loose their income. Someone I know.... realllllly well. Made a very good income in the last few years, between $110k and $130k with benefits. Family income close to $180k. Payment on a brand new red Z06, mortgage, etc. They were soooooo concerned about living for today, they didnt put away anything into retirement, or savings in general. Lost his job, she lost hers... their take home pay went from 14k a month to $4k a month of unemployment combined. Now... they are getting rid of all the toys, just to be able to pay for groceries and housing. Nevermind the rest of the money and crap they pissed it away on. These 2 40 year olds. Yes, they may get a job in the next few months, maybe even at the same pay scale... but they have to start it all over again. Had he listened to his "younger brother" who obviously didnt know anything as a 22 year old financial advisor, 1 month into his career, to establish a cash reserve..... almost 6 years ago.... he would be able to keep his toys, because he would have money in savings to make his payments.

I was just going to say... Still... Love you too. =P

charged him with what?

Yup, i start many people on $50 to 100 a month, just to get the psychology down. Heck, just go open up a checking account in a different bank, with no atm card, and set up a month deposit. let it grow. honestly, i wish I started saving when I was 16, and got my first job. Here I am 11 years later. lol. other great quote.... its not about timing the market, or picking the invest, but about time in the market. Once again, even if it is $10 a week. the problem is.... of adults 18 to 65, so working adults, 25% have not saved anything, and 54% have saved less than $25,000. this is a big big big problem. what this means is that you cant live on social security alone. No one new is getting pensions, so you have to suppliment it with savings. $25k will last less than 2 years to most people. What this means, more people fighting for jobs. Even bigger issue, so many people listening to the fear and hysteria driven by the media, they are keeping money in cash, which is slowly erroded by inflation. the same folks who were afraid of the crash of 2001, sold then, and invested it back in 07, sold it at the lows of 09. They managed to buy high, sell low, buy high yet again, and sell low yet again. If someone really wants... invest in guns. ie Smith and Wesson and Ruger stock. =P Aerospace and defense. Make saving fun. =P

My purchase is bettarrrrrr!!!! i know buddy. =P

Honestly, there is just soooooo much stuff to say, i dont know where to begin, so was hoping someone else would chime in first. =P Out of all of the 22 caliber black rifles, i feel the smith wesson m&p 22 is the one that gets it the best. It is cheaper than a conversion kit, and is nice enough to be a dedicated 22. It has terrific balance, and a pretty good feel, for being a plastic gun. So lets adress your questions. it depends. $200 is a bit much I think, and NcStar is a chinese knock off company? I used a simple mount of theirs and it was ok. To answer this, you have to define if you want a red dot on it, or a scope. I prefer glass on mine, as I like to zoom in and try to hit 1 inch targets..... with a red dot at 50 to 100 yards, that will be a harder thing to do. For a scope, I will proudly stand by either the Bushnell Rimfire series 3-9x40, which is a great rimfire scope, and best part, around $50. if you want a bit better, I would gladly get a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 for around $140 or so. I am a big fan of Nikon scopes as they offer great glass and very reasonable prices, especially after having a few of their scopes, including their high end Monarch series. the link was posted for the grip pod. dude, this is a 22 rimfire... wtf do you need all that stuff for? =P get a scope or red dot.... by the time you get those optics, you are going to drop more on that than the rifle. I am a believer in Glass => .5x x being the price of rifle. is this a vendor on the forum? get the rifle first, play with it, and decide what you want on there.... yourself.
