Looking good. But the cost to build that is roughly $35 while this base is also $35, just missing two 1x2x6. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/hyskore-target-hound-portable-target-stand?a=2198993 I'm buying that one and will write a review once I get it.

Thanks. I think they'd be setup the same way. I also found photos of some black backstop on Google maps.

Thank you all.

Thanks for your reply and sorry if my topic wasn't make it clear when I say "about PA public shooting ranges". Yes I meant the game commission ranges. Also do you have info on the target frame/stand rather than the permit?

Problem is I don't have the stand, so if I'm to buy want then I will need to skip this weekend.

It's not in NJ but I hope someone here has been shooting there and can help to answer my question: Regarding PA Carbon & Lehigh ranges: Do we need to bring our own target stand/frame, or if there are enough stand/frame that we can just put our paper target on? It's 2 hours drive and I just don't want to go back without shooting because there's no target stand. Much appreciated.

Hi, I'm trying to look for an adjustable stock that's still considered fixed and legal here. What do you think about the Magpul PRS GEN3? https://magpul.com/prs-gen3-precision-adjustable-stock.html?mp_global_color=118

Right. 12 gauge. sorry.

CLOSED WTB Mossberg 500 12 gauge vent rib barrel 24" or 26" w/ choke tubes Black color. No rust, no shooting issue. Minor scratches are ok.

Is there any sight seeing or facility or anything that my wife & daughter can kill time with?

Fair enough I suppose. Anyway, I've set my mind to buy a 26" barrel for my Mos 500 to get it all started... once the hunter course can be completed and the squirrel season begins. Thanks everyone for your replies.

Not really. The Mos 500 I have was always kept at home so I have no idea how well the finish would sustain weather. Also for a home defense shotgun, accuracy and everything contributing to accuracy are not really that important. Point my red dot on the target within 7 yard and I know I will hit it for sure. So I can't really give a review on the Mos 500 I have, except for the pros on the tang safety and the fact that it's never failed me at the ranges.

22.lr isn't legal to hunt squirrel, rabbit in NJ. Only for fox. Groundhog is only for farmer. If I interpreted the digest correctly.

It's ok I still have plenty of buckshots that I put aside previously after falling in love with the flight control. There's one problem with my current mos 500 though, it has no choke so shooting small game with #4 or #6 pass 15 yard could be a challenge.

All those red shells in my pic are Federal flight control and that's all I got left, and I have had zero luck refilling them lately. Hope you will have better luck and not paying a hefty price. Back to hunting, yes the heat shield does come off quite easily, just need to unscrew the picatinny rails at the muzzle end. So I guess I got a shotgun for small game now... just need to wait to finish the hunter course. Wait a minute, are you talking about hunting, or about legal gun ownership in general?...

Nah, it's too troublesome to swap out everything...

I found this while looking around: https://progunmillennial.wordpress.com/2018/08/24/the-idiocy-of-the-pinned-welded-barrel/ Can anyone help to confirm if this is true?

Thank you for all the comments. Very helpful and mostly align with my own home work so far. I guess the next thing is to wait for King Murphy to open hunter live-fire session for me to get the cert, then wait for the gun market to cool down a little. If anyone having a hunt party that can take in a new hunter, I'm happy to join, even just to observe at first. I'm not new to gun. I have put at least a thousand rounds through my 4 rifles, a tactical Mos 500, and 2 hand guns. I'm only new to hunting.

Right... Is it worth it to get 870 wingmaster? How about the barrel and choke for small game?

I have another dumb question - how do you guys shop for part? 1. Go to an online marketplace like Brownells, PSA,.., and only buy what's available on that website. 2. Search for the manufacturer you like and buy directly from them. If it's the former, which site has the most quality stuffs?

Sad...

Can a pinned muzzle brake be removed (by a gunsmith?), saying when I moved to another state that allow it?

I'm not into buying a used gun especially for this quality-related concern because they are likely to be overpriced, like a 100-year old stamp. I got into the situation once while finding a pre-remlin (JM) Marlin 1894. Regarding customization, I am not looking to convert my hunting shotgun to become a tactical/defense shotgun, so not much customization is needed. Perhaps just another barrel, a couple other chokes, and a fitted picatinny rail will serve the purpose.

I've been searching around for recommendation and most of the time, the answer is another question: "what type of hunting are you looking for? deer, waterfowl or turkey,...". But since NJ is a shotgun-country, I'm shopping for a shotgun that does not stick to a specific type of hunting. I've never hunt before and will most likely to start with small game, squirrel, rabbit, etc... as that seems to me like the simplest thing to start. So, here are the criteria I can come up with (and pls feel free to correct them): - No camo - I don't want more trouble when buying another barrel - No turkey - I don't like their meat at all and will never turkey hunting in my life - Extra barrel/choke must be readily available to buy, and won't cost me an arm & a leg - Good weather resistant. I heard many negative review about Rem 870 barrel finish. - Packaged barrel/choke is good for small game So in short, I am looking for a most customizable & good finishing shotgun. Please help.

Perhaps we just drive a bit further and enjoy Pennsylvania instead. Let's not buy any permits this year and let them deal with wildlife conservation themselves. Facebook post
