You can do just about anything with those 4 guns.

You need to decide what you want to do with this rifle. You're probably best off getting a 5.56 AR and following @Bully''s advice.

Seems to me if he were serious he would have doused himself with gasoline instead of diesel.

I've seen Garands converted to use BAR and M14 magazines.

BM59 "type" is outlawed by name in NJ.

He didn't say.

I suppose their plan to get it through the Senate and Trump to sign it is secret. Oops!!! I shouldn't have asked

Use the non-stick foil dull side (non-stick side) out. Repels everything.

+1 for learning with irons first.

I've relensed frames on regular glasses. Can't see why any optician couldn't do this as lenses are standard sizes. Just be sure they use the right type of safety glass.

IIRC NJ bans the SKS with detachable magazine by name. You can have all evil features with the fixed magazine.

These posts tell the story. NJ gun laws are so vague in many areas. That's what happens when you write laws that say everything is illegal unless we tell you it's legal. That's how you come up with vague terms in a law like "reasonable deviations". No one has ever been arrested in NJ for an "unreasonable deviation". An analogy I like to use (I'll bring in another forum member) is like @Zeke and I wrote a law about brain surgery. The original AWB in NJ proves that. The law was written by people who had no knowledge of guns and their capabilities. It was a "feel good" law. Smoke and mirrors. Look we're really doing something. Virtually all NJ gun laws can be fixed with the addition of "in the commission of a crime". You have a dozen ARs with all the evil features sitting in your house with 100 Rd magazines, no problem. Pull one out and point it at your neighbor because his dog is crapping on your lawn, send you to prison for 100 years. I don't care. I'm not going to do that. You're fooling yourself if you look at CA, NY, MD, CT, or laws from other restrictive states. What matters is how they write the law in NJ. When they do it will be hard to understand.

I didn't respond to the poll but will answer the questions. My wife knew I had guns and liked the idea. Her participation in shooting was limited. She was very capable of engaging a target within 50' with a S&W Model 10. She didn't like semiautos. The simpler manual of arms with a revolver appealed to her. When I showed her how to use a speedloader she was impressed but said if she ran out of ammo she'd just go to another gun. Never had to sneak a gun in the house. Never had to lie about what I paid for a gun. I know different types of relationships work for different kinds of people. I never saw a need to have to "wear the pants". I had a wifeI saw a marriage as a joint relationship. We each had our own little kingdoms where we were the boss but just about everything was done together.

Dems already run NJ. If you're referring to Congress yes the Dems are taking over. They're going to spend much of their time going after Trump. If they come up with any "gun safety" laws they have to get through the Republican Senate and signed by Trump. They don't have a big enough majority in the House to over ride a presidental veto and no majority in the Senate. Sleep easy but keep one eye open.

Why do you expect this? On what grounds could they do this? How many troopers do you think we have? NJSP has been understaffed for years. It's amazing they get done what they do with so few troopers.

Well yes...and no. The COE is a NJ form. Now if you go to Cabellas or one of the bigger stores they'll do the COE. However being that no copies go to the state I've had FFLs in other states say the COE is not needed as they have no obligation to fill in a NJ form. IANAL but complying with local laws of the purchaser means they have a NJFID and the type of firearm is permitted in their home state.

Not a member but I've been to the Legion in Union Beach. Really nice clubhouse facing the bay. Don't know much about The Legion Riders but I saw a lot of guys wearing their colors there. I spent some time talking to one who's a retired police captain.

IIRC the 10rd magazine law is applicable to all semi auto rifles even with a fixed magazine. The SA rifle needs to be modified to hold less than 10rds or registered with NJSP.

Used to see deer all over the ranges at Ft Dix. Sat through more than one check fire with everything from small arms to artillery.

Reason most ranges don't want you shooting food is it attracts wildlife. Animals would wind up coming looking for a free meal.

Some military ammo has staked primers. Usually 3 points around the primer. The Greek HXP is staked IIRC. Many find they don't even need to clean that up when reloading.

Cherry picking to make your point. How about posting the thousands of times cops do the right thing?

While courts have established police have no duty to protect you other than isolated incidents how often does it happen? You're posting what courts say not what cops do. How often do you read "off duty officer" makes arrest or takes action. Yes I know someone will pull up "off duty officer involved in DWI" or some such thing. I'm not saying I agree with any magazine law. Why do people want to take their frustrations over this out on cops?

You need a valid hunting license to shoot at WMA ranges. Range 14 at Ft Dix is probably your best bet. Commercial ranges all charge about $25 an hour.

Yes
