No compromise for QC. Developing a load I will weigh each charge. After that it depends how reliably my powder measure throws the charge. Maybe weigh every 5,10, or 20. I use a chronograph when developing loads. Beats guessing. Always use good bullets. Maybe 95% of my pistol loading is with lead bullets. I buy them don't cast them myself. I usually clean brass well and sort out headstamps. Not that that had anything to do with accuracy, just appearance. I have been reloading for about 45 years and never trimmed any pistol brass. I don't load for a specific firearm. I know this can increase accuracy by doing this but not worth my time AFAIC. If you have 10 30-06s and develop 10 different loads that can be a nightmare to keep track of. My loads shoot well in all firearms I have in that caliber. Better in some.

11 lbs. That's it. If you have more ship it UPS or FEDEX. An airline can have a lower limit or ban ammunition.

10x pretty much covered it. 49 CFR 175.10 lists exceptions for hazmat. Powder and primers are not listed as an exception. The 11 lb limit is from FAA but an airline can have stricter restrictions.

No dealers. No registration involved, unless you live in a state requiring it and NJ isn't one of them. You pick your guns up from the executor and go home with them.

All good answers so far. Federal also allows you to take possession of the firearms, both long guns and handguns, in another state and bring them to your state of residence.

I generally reload 500 rds at a time for pistol, less for rifle. I kind of know what loads work for me after about 45 years. I found some 357 Ioaded in 1978. 40 years old and it shot as good now as it did when it was first loaded.

I was 18 years old in training at Fort Benning. The Pueblo was seized by North Korea about a week earlier. I wasn't sure if I was going to Korea or Vietnam. Glad I wound up in Vietnam. Gets too cold in Korea. You can only put on so many clothes and still be cold.

Or maybe a testament they didn't work well and left too much game to get away and bleed out and be lost? Yes, they do work...when they work. There's just too much out there that tells one not to rely on them. Like cutting crosses on RNL 38s. They work...sonetimes.

https://www.google.com/amp/www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/07/31/cut-shells-shotgun-nonsense/amp/ Heres just one source. Cut shells work...when they do. More often you get the same shallow penetration if you just fired the shell without cutting it. I tried this long ago and the article I linked is my experience. I've also seen a guy trying this and it appears the cut portion of the she lodged in the barrel. His next round cause a classic Elmer Fudd banana peel. Fortunately no one was hurt.

Do some more research. Cut shotgun shells are very unpredictable in performance.

I have both cylinders for mine. Thanks for the offer but save it for someone that needs it.

I dont have any that are really "miniature". The one you're referring to is a North American Arms SA revolver. It fits in a cigarette pack and while its utility is questionable it is the ultimate hideout that I've carried on occasion. I've got a few 22s and 25s. While some will dismiss them, I share Skeeter Skelton"s opinion. Not the thing to get in a gunfight with but you might be able to bluff your way out. Watch the Reagan assassination attempt and watch how the SS, DC Metro, and James Brady go down. They were hit with 22s. Generally 25s areally more reliable although I have 22s that are the same.

You're correct. Democrats like to make people they did something significant whether it accomplished anything or not. It's all about appearances to them.

I agree to cleaning it up.

That would be a good idea. I've heard WW1 1911s were made of softer steel than the WW2 and later production. A moderate amount of standard 230 fmj wouldn't hurt it.

Don't think of refinishing it. Original finish is much more valuable than a bright blue or new parkerizing.

200,000 would be Colt WWI manufacture.

There are 1000s of handguns people purchased legally in other states and moved to o NJ. Most of these guns are not registered. If you sell a gun like that it doesn't raise any eyebrows with NJSP. If you sell 4 or 5 at one time it might.

See GunsnFreedom's answer. 100% correct. NJ doesn't recognize any firearm as antique as Federal and most state laws do. An original matchlock from the 1500s is treated like a new AR as far as NJ is concerned. If it makes you feel better keep a copy of the will with the firearms but that is not necessary. It is up to the police to prove you possess these guns illegally not your job to prove you possess them legally. Follow the transport laws. About 18 months ago the NJ AG clarified reasonable deviation. You can stop for gas, use the bathroom, eat, pick up and discharge passengers and other reasonable deviations. Get your FPID so you can purchase ammo and you can ride around with an unloaded long gun in your trunk.

BTW, it makes no difference if your grandfather lived in another state. Transfer of firearms willed to you (well legal in the state you reside) need no paperwork. This is covered in Federal and NJ law.

^This is correct. If the guns were willed to you there is no registration or paperwork needed. The executor of the will just hands them over. No paperwork or permits needed. Personna non grata is also correct (he posted his response while I was typing this)

Major repairs are something that may or may not happen depending on how you maintain the car and maybe some luck. I had a 92 Mustang i bought slightly used and owned it over 20 years. Other than regular maintenance and wear items (belts, hoses, brakes, etc) the only parts I replaced were a water pump, windshield wiper motor, radiator, and a cat back exhaust system. Body had no rust. I liked it so much I gave it away as I probably would have dumped money into it for an engine and trans.

The only difference between FEDEX, UPS, or USPS would be price. When I've shipped guns to a FFL I always had a copy of the FFL with me in case they wanted to see it. The only issue I've ever had at the post office was the clerk was not aware a person could mail a long gun to a FFL. Being polite had this cleared up in a minute or two.

You can be cool with a minivan. A friend who's single bought a minivan for a daily driver. He did a lot of camping, kayaking, scuba diving, rock climbing, skiing, etc and needed something he could haul his gear in. He does have a 911 for when he really wanted to look cool.

I agree. No sense repeating what's already been said.
