I have a Henry all weather 30-30, love it. I avoid the lever guns when I'm there, I keep eyeing this from afar, if I get to close they (any firearm) seem to come home with me. Winchester Repeating Arms 1892 Carbine 534196141 | Shooters Sporting Center (shootersnj.com)

Ordered from Natchez Wednesday morning, delivery date set for Friday by 9pm, no signature required.

The forward grip is a no name off Amazon for 15 bucks.

Picked up the cheapest 9mm Hi-Point carbine I could find, bought the Hightower Armory bullpup conversion, takes 20 minutes to put it all together, installed the JSARMSCO shroud/compensator and the trigger spring kit, cleaned up the trigger nicely, installed a red dot I had lying around. Gave it to my wife who is 4'11", she loves it, fits her perfectly. Minimal recoil and a really fun range gun, with the red dot you can split hairs, very accurate. Once the holiday sales start I would imagine you could build this for $600 or less, cost me $680 all in. Next up is a Hi-Point .45 carbine/bullpup for me.

With tax, 750 rounds comes to 36 cents per round to your door.

Youtube taught me how to clean all my guns, some very in-depth videos and some basic videos. I knew how to field strip and clean my first hand gun even before I picked it up. Dont sweat it, it will become easy, and possibly enjoyable.

Not sure if this is the model you’re looking for. https://www.shootersnj.com/products/handguns-smith-wesson-11822-022188871333-2950

Stopped in Weshoot tonight, they have an M&P 2.0 full size to rent.

And they are very busy, don’t go often mostly to shop. They were making you sign a list and wait outside until called. Weshoot can get busy but I have never waited for a lane to open. Pretty sure anywhere you go will have an M&P 2.0.

Bring the significant other! Once you join a range and have your FID card you can go solo, by then you will have your own handgun, and can rent solo.

Eye and ear protection, if you don’t have your own and a couple targets also, figure $80 to rent one hand gun.

That, and less likely to turn the gun on yourself. I could be wrong but I do not think you can rent without a second person with you at any range. Without an FID card. prepare yourself for the cost also, lane rental $20, gun rental $10-$25 and you have to buy their ammo if you rent $30-$40

Two in ocean county that rent with only a driver license are, Weshoot and Shore Shot pistols range. Both require 2 people to to rent a hand gun, you can’t walk in alone to rent. Both are in Lakewood 2 miles apart.

Enjoy! They are a ton of fun to shoot. Bought this red dot when I first got my AR https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-rotary-knob-25mm-microdot-with-2-moa-dot-reticle cheaper, nice quality and held zero, come to find out I have an astigmatism and trying to use it gave me a headache, put it on the wife’s AR, she loves it, beats the heck out of it too.

Dave, how about a few pics of your work shop, I would think it is impressive?

They must have updated their indoor range, it seems much newer than shore shot, and cleaner. The wife was much happier at Weshoot. Shore shot has a much better rifle and pistol sales counter, many more choices, got lucky a few weeks ago and picked up a Kimber at shore shot.

Weshoot, shore shot was always so busy, thanks Dave, I will.
