Good idea. You have that and it's no BS for someone interested in the revolver.

Shawn, do you have an archive letter from Colt? The cost of the letter will increase the value.

But you did shoot it pretty good.

I agree RDS are easier to use and probably more accurate than irons. That's includes people like me using them. I'm not comdemning them. I'm no Luddite. These and stuff like smart munitions makes warfighting more precise Optics and electronic siting systems have really only been available for mass issue to the troops for the past 15 years or so. Their durability and effectiveness has been proven in the Middle East. There was an incident in the Middle East a few years ago where some thought that Marines had committed some "execurions" due to the number of insurgents that were dead from headshots. The insurgents were killed by Marines in the firefight. The Marines had ACOGs. I guess my point is if you don't learn how to use irons one would think a Garand is a useless POS. Even Zeke shot my Garand well

Yes, it is easier to shoot better with an Aimpoint or an optic. However I only had iron sights in the olden days and they worked well for serious social situations. I don't see any reason to abandon their use. The optic may be faster on longer range shots but the iron sights are always there. All of my ARs have an Aimpoint or optic...but they all also have iron sights. When I shoot them I shoot both sighting systems. JMO

Watch your breathing. Vertical stringing like you have on your target is usually due to breathing. Inhale, exhale 1/2 way, hold it, align sights, shoot. With military sights I'd give that 4 clicks to the right at 25. Military sights move the strike of a round 1" @ 100. Do all this and you'll get all rounds in the 2" red square. Move the target out to 50 until you get them all in the red square then 100. Take your time. Speed will come. Do yourself a favor and learn to shoot with the iron sights before you put on a red dot. Red dots are great, easy to acquire, and very helpful. But learn iron sights first. HE is right. Cowitness the front sight with the red dot. I think it makes acquisition faster.

We don't have as Paul Harvey always said, "the rest of the story".

The narrative in the OP says her husband called police after he took the kids.

Powder by itself is a different issue than loaded ammo. If powder at one side of the storage container gets hot enough to cook off it will set the rest of the powder in the magazine off. That will build up a lot of pressure. Loaded ammo cooking off will do so more progressively as it gets hot. When some rounds cook off they will not set off all of the ammo. No where near the pressure of a powder magazine would experience.

I don't think a job site box used for storing ammo will create enough explosive force to make a bomb. There was a lot of ammo stored in WTC on 9/11. Yes there were injuries by this ammo cooking off but those were mostly eye injuries. I saw lead bullet 38 spl that had the lead melted out of the brass and set off the powder but did not get hot enough to set off the primer. Keep in mind the lead melted before the powder cooked off. There is a SAAMI video on ammo cooking off which shows that small arms ammo cooking off only has the potential to cause eye injuries. It doesn't get much velocity due to the early expansion of the case. Storing small arms ammo in a container doesn't cause much danger to firefighters. When Ray's Sport Shop burned to the ground in the early 70s most firefighters backed off from the sound of the ammo cooking off not from the effects. I was also witness to the aftermath of the ammo dump in Chu Lai blowing up in 1968 from enemy action. Small arms ammo did no real damage. 500 lb bombs and artillery rounds did. Both both required an explosion from another source to set them off. I witnessed 500 lb bombs that the VC and NVA had fires built around them to melt the explosive out of. Of course there are those who consider me an old fart that doesn't know what he's talking about. If you feel you must lock up ammo I think a security cabinet will do if you have that much. As far as organizing a safe I've found that you'd be hard pressed to store 10 guns with scopes in a 10 gun safe. If you use gun socks and store some muzzle up and some muzzle down you might get 20 long guns in a 10 gun safe. Also some words of advice regarding "gun collections". A friend of mine after Sandy had about a dozen nice guns he lost and claimed them as a "collectiion". His homeowners carrier told him that "collections" needed to be covered by a separate rider and wouldn't cover them. He went to an attornery who told him that if he had claimed them as "household contents" they would have been covered. Read your policy and determine if they're covered. I understand most legal gun owners are concerned with their guns being stolen and used for nefarious purposes. If you have $20,000 shotguns and $50,000 drillings your priorities would be different. I am not a believer if you own two or three guns you need a "safe". If you want some suggestions where to hide your guns PM me. JMO

@Rob0115 we know it's not but the misformed think it is.

Going to my daughter's for Thanksgiving. My contribution to the meal is my bacon wrapped asparagus. For those who are health conscious I make some with 4 stalks of asparagus. I had some asparagus left over so I decided to make some...ready for this...pork roll wrapped asparagus! Not to raise any further arguments I made it with Case's not Taylor so it is pork roll. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

That would be Benedictine Not B&B but Benedictine. Always support the church

The Partridge Family was a good clean family show. That's something lacking today. It's either watch TV MA for language, violence, sex, adult situations or watch Sponge Bob.

That rig ought to do a lot more than carry guns for $550 starting price.

That's blackpowder though isn't it?

Would be a handgun in NJ. Can't see any reason it would be illegal. Can't see a lot of use for it either but I'd buy one if I has spare change.

Central Jersey may tie up the high power range or some of the pits for competitions but there is always some place you can shoot.

Tanner Mays, the race car driver in American Top Gear, was running a Raptor across the desert at 80 mph. The desert, no road, at 80 mph, in complete control due to the suspension travel built into the truck. My friend (who's on his second Raptor because he wanted the latest tech) had no reservations letting me drive his Corvette but hesitated letting me drive his Raptor.

I'd say no. I know it's an "arm brace" but I'd wait to see what NJ says. It sure looks like a stock. Remember, the NJ "assault weapons" law is based mostly on looks. The Shockwave and TAC14 were approved for sale on NJ based on what it left the factory with People putting all kinds of stuff on a gun could lead to them writing a law makin a stock Shockwave or TAC14 illegal. Don't screw up a good thing. If you can't shoot a stock Shockwave or TAC14 don't get one. JMO

CJRPC prorates your dues so if you join in July you'll only pay 150 for dues. All dues come up for renewal in January. I don't know how the other clubs do it.

Nice gun but ridiculous price IMO. You can buy 2 686s and spend a chunk on tuning and customizing and have change left over. JMO

I have no use for a pickup but if I were interested in spending that much I'd buy a Raptor. A few friends have one and that is one impressive truck! @Rob0115 a Raptor would satisfy that 12 year old in you. It would mine!

Just membership. Annual will do but then you have to show renewal.

I think it's 300 for dues and 400 for amortization. Last I knew they would let you pay the amortization fee in payments. You can also pay off your dues for the next year with meeting attendance and work credit. NRA membership required. It may be higher priced than other places but it really offers more. Pits, steel plates in pits for practice, 200 and 300 yard rifle, skeet. Bullseye pistol, indoor range open 24/7, and archery range.
