You should sell me 1 case of .45acp, 1 case of 9mm, 1 case of 5.56x45mm NATO and see how it feels. Worst case, you don’t sell anymore. ;-)

.22lr is about all I’m stocked up on, shooters had 800 round HV bulk bricks for $80 last Sunday. No limit.

I collect and shave with old butterfly razors, to clean and polish I use MAAS precious metal polish, it will not remove any finish, it will clean and shine though. Squeeze a dollup on a soft tooth brush and go to town. Also use it on all my wife’s jewelry. Amazing stuff, and it leaves a protective coating.

Midway still had it listed on their web site. If it wasn't steel core I would grab it. Carl Gustaf Ammo 5.56x45mm NATO 62 Grain Steel Core Penetrator Full (midwayusa.com)

Enjoy reading your replies Rutgers95, would love to sit and have a beer with you.

In these times, and watching the price of guns and ammo going up weekly, I would think anything under list is a plus. I am sure someone with more knowledge will be able to help.

Thanks HE for the detailed reply, I truly appreciate it. to see the target I need to use distance glasses causing the dot to be in the way of the target making me guess at the center point, don’t know why but with the LPVO I was able to focus the target and the reticle up close and at distance with no eye strain and no headaches.

For me For me the issue isn’t using the red dot with a blurry dot the issue is I need to use driving glasses for distance causing one eye to try and focus on the target with a blurry dot to see past while the other eye can see clearly causing headaches.

GN, I have very limited experience with optics, but what I have learned from a short time of trial and error is that my eyes suck! Need readers for short distances and driving glasses for distance, not sure what my script is. Bought a primary arms 2 moa red dot to start, with no glasses on the dot was an ugly star burst, with readers on the dot was crisp and clear but couldn’t see a dang thing down range with both eyes open. Tried my driving glasses and that was a giant no no, the red dot was a fuzzy blob. While in NC last week I went into Bass Pro shop with both my sets of glasses, they had a vortex LPVO in the case, the nice fellow stuck it on a gun for me and I began adjusting everything, what I found was I could use my distance glasses adjust the diopter to my script and have both eyes open with a crisp clear reticle while being able to see clearly down range. The scope was a 1-8, so now I can use it as a 2 moa red dot for short distance and dial up the magnification for longer distance with one set of glasses. At 1-8 magnification the wall mounted bass on the wall that I would estimate at 125 yards was up close and personal with both eyes open and in focus, I would not go more than 1-8 IMHO, unless you are looking to shoot past 500 yards. This is the optic I picked up on sale for $299 to mount on my AR-15. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-strike-eagle-1-8x24-ar-bdc3.html Hope this helps in some way.

The wife and I applied for 2 p2p the first go around, she used her two in 35 days. I will be using my 2 in 31 days, the wife is done, happy with 2 hand guns and a nice s&w 15-22, she loves all her guns but has control. Me on the other hand applied for 3 more p2p. Sigh, I hope that’s enough.

Thank you, my wife has a .380 ez on the recall list.

Optics Planet If anyone is in the market for a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24 optics planet has it on sale for $299. You will need to add a mount.

Ahh, you are correct, it was 450 MHz, been so long, the celeron was $100 and gave the same performance as the $600 cpu you bought. The video cards were Nvidia and you had to apply an open GL patch to the game or the card you were using, don’t remember which way it went. There were also $750 4 meg cards but who had that kind of money. The connectivity was a 56 baud dial up modem if you could afford one, other wise you used a 33 baud, spent many weekends playing Quake 1 from 6pm Friday till 2 am Monday playing capture the flag. Microsoft direct X was in its infancy you had to make registry entries to get the game to run with open GL. DOS was a pain in the ass when you had to trouble shoot an issue with you’re computer.

Take a ride to shooters in south Jersey, plenty still available and they will put it on a shelf while you wait, when I picked up my AR a shiny Colt 1911 called to me. She will be home for the holidays.

P.S. Don’t watch the price of guns and ammo go up, makes the wait unbearable.

My wife and I hit the enter button on the same day, she was able to get her prints done 10 days ahead of me, her permit and p2p came in at 3 months almost on the nose. My call took 4 months and 3 days. I was always gun shy (pun intended) to walk in and inquire for fear I would be moved down down the list for the typist to completed the card. Find a dealer that will hold you’re guns while you wait, after you purchased them wait a few weeks take a ride and ask to inspect you’re guns. It held me over... it’s the little things that help. Lol

In the good old days, you could buy a 133 MHz celeron and overclock it to 350 MHz, couple that with a 2 meg video card and you were living large.

I was one of those Brick Township numbers...

9mm and .223 found thanks to the kind members on this forum Brass range/training ammo is fine. Picked a bad time to get into a gun hobby, sigh. Live in Brick Thank You, Marty

Pm sent on 9mm, 45acp and 380auto if available.

1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID). FID/2-p2p 2. Police Department where you applied. Brick 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. Online 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit. Finally came in, took just over 4 months 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). none 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.). None filed online July7th references, next day...prints July 21st..... Email stating back round check completed on July 25th.

Thanks all for the replies, quick update. Went on my local PD web site to find some email addresses I could send a friendly email to and zero luck, either their email boxes were full or they shut down their email addresses, everything came back with an error saying try again later. Two hours later the wife calls and says Brick PD called to tell her the FID and P2P were ready, thank god, she was driving me crazy. I should be about a week behind her, so seems all is good. When she picked up her paperwork she enquirer about me, was told they can not release any information even if it is to my wife. The woman did tell my wife, they are receiving 20 applications a day in Brick Township. Now she waits for the NICS check, the gun shop told us it is taking about four days. While there she looked at Ruger 22lr pistols, and picked up another hand gun, I created a monster lol, all good though, my little 4’ 11” wife is a great shot.

Tried calling my local PD to check up on, in August the recording allowed you to pick an extension to ask a question, now it only lets you pick an extension to find out how to pick up your permit or a separate extension to get an ORI number also in the message it states, do not call or show up to check the status of your permit.. Sigh, so frustrating.

Hello everyone, new applicant here name is marty. Been lurking and learning, tons of great information on this forum, and appreciate everyone’s effort answering questions. My question is, does anyone have any insight into brick township processing FID cards? The wife and I submitted on July 7th, prints and final email response stating background check completed received on July 15th, since then nothing. If you try to call you can not reach a live person to ask a question. The wife and I have purchased hand guns which Shooters in south jersey was kind enough to hold until FID and P2P came in, the poor guns must have a inch of dust on them from sitting on a back room shelf for the last two months. Thank you all, enjoy the reading here with all the information, actually, I found Shooters from a post on here. Thanks again, Marty
