I can't imagine that the original owners of our Mosins took anywhere near as much care as we do and they've survived 70+ years. I run a few wet patches through mine, wipe the bolt face, and then clean as usual. The most important thing, as already said, do it soon after returning home.

Just last week a friend of mine had his IPad stolen in Miami while he was being scanned. The TSA pulled the video and the guy who was in front of him in line was taking his stuff out of his basket, and then looked back and saw the IPad in the next one. He just helped himself to it and walked on. Great security. They are a bunch of real a** clowns. The lesson here is not to leave the checkpoint until you've inventoried all your possessions.

It sounds like the Jersey Guys are trying to coordinate a peaceful and respectful counter protest and help shield the family. Our thoughts are with you and your son, siderman.

I use the southern end of Route 295 for a stretch to get to work ... roughly Mount Laurel to Burlington. This morning as I was coming off the ramp and merging onto Route 295 north, my timing put me precisely at the front of the motorcade that was transporting the body of the young soldier and Bordentown Fireman that was recently killed in Afghanistan. Led by a State Police cruiser, there were Bordentown Police, Fire and EMT trucks, as well as the motorcycle entourage. Traffic was pacing the motorcade and no one was their usual crazy self cutting in and out. Cars and tractor trailers all maintained their speed and place and we all became part of the motorcade. The most moving part were the fire personnel on top of their trucks at every overpass. They would all salute at attention as the motorcade went under. I eventually had to exit, but wished I could have continued to be part of this very public acknowledgment to a fallen hero. Nothing political intended here, but I couldn't help but think that we would have been out of these wars long ago if we did this for ever casualty of the war when they came home. God bless them...

Good to see some other old timers. This summer will be 40 for us. Tim pretty much nailed it.

I never leave home without this in my pocket... http://www.hammacher.com/Product/74670

This knife has become my favorite pocket carry, but I'm concerned that it may not be legal. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009VCA1W/ref=oss_product

http://www.nj1015.com/pages/5876220.php Well done!

I've done it several times at the VF Gun Show and the Philadelphia Armory Show. The dealers all have the necessary papers and know the routine for NJ. It is a liberating experience.

Done. Thank you!

Never a problem...one of my favorite vendors. I also uploaded copy of FID.

They did an excellent job. It's one of the nicest pistol ranges I've seen. 19 positions - 5 yd, 7 yd, 10yd, 15 yd and 25 yd. NRA said it was one of the best they've seen too. I have to admit, I never thought we'd see it open again. A lesson in never giving up.

http://forum.pafoa.org/gun-shows-111/ for an update on shows and dates.

Just my opinion,but I'm a RO and wouldn't feel comfortable taking money. I get other benefits offered by the range operators. To me it smacks almost as much as tip cups on store counters.

I've tried every brand of ammo and the best in mine is CCI Minimags. I also changed the trigger and that lightened it up significantly. See 'Volquartzen hammer" at Rimfirecentral for specifics. I think it was around 35 bucks and took 15 minutes to do. Enjoy!

Maybe it's just the stuff that I use, but I always find a better deal on the web,...and I'm a five minute drive from him. Even with a "discount" (and then tax), I just don't see the attraction.

Aim Surplus is worth watching. Last week I picked up two 440 round cans of Polish Light Ball (147) in original wooden box - not on chargers - for $159 and free shipping. They were out of it a few days later. It's nice to see all the incentives appearing. I think the shortage is pretty much over and buyers are now waiting for better prices...I know I am. I'll only buy when I see a good deal.

Hello from the other end of Rt. 541 :hand: You have the range in Delran (off Taylor's Lane) that just reopened http://www.delranjuniormarksman.com/ Pistol range is closed, but 50/100 yard rifle and trap. Happy New Year!

It's a nice range. You'll enjoy it. They also have organized trap shoots on the first three Sundays of the month. No $15 charge for trap and you don't have to be a member. It's four or five bucks per round, birds included.

It would cost you $15. No charge for your son. There is never a charge if under 21 (but must be with adult). Active police, fire and military pay no fee either. It's open from noon to 4:30 on Sat & Sun. BTW, they have a very good youth program that runs on Saturdays, and as far as I know, it meets at the National Guard Armory in Mount Holly on Route 38.

Hopefully we'll soon start to see "supply and demand" work in our favor for a change. Let's not forget those vendors that got really greedy over the past year. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/busin ... ntemail1=y By ROBERT CYRAN and UNA GALANI Published: October 22, 2009 Cerberus plans to float the gun maker Freedom Group soon.

http://happydays.blogs.nytimes.com/2009 ... ef=opinion An interesting opinion piece from the New York Times, but the comments are the best part.

I just got the notice at 3:05 pm that Midway has CCI small pistol primers in stock for $30 per K. The last time they lasted a few hours.

Dechlorinated brake cleaner. It's available at your local auto parts store. It works quick and easy. Use it outdoors and wear gloves and glasses. I've used it to get the cosmo out of several rifles. Two cans should do a whole rifle.
