I was not suprised. A Cabela's was not a viable concept in northeast New Jersey. We are better off car pooling to the Hamburg, PA store.

I thought Hawaii is great for vacation but pretty much sucks if you live there? (Sans the weather) Um, well, the cost of living is tuff. But my wife grew up there so it's a little different for her. She's local, and wouldn't have a problem at all living there. As for me, I love it there but it would be really hard being a howley boy. If you are going to Hawaii, you had better be able to spell "haole".

Okay...so what's the two minute method? And what's a "rifleman" going with a Mk II?

If so, where are you going and when? I bought land on Lake Adger in North Carolina. It's near Columbus, NC. The Plan is to be there within five years.

I don't understand why the Mark II has such a bad repuation for reassembly. I know the Ruger directions are useless but then I watched a video of a guy dissassemble and reasseble a Mk II in something like 32 seconds. Once you know to put the hammer strut in the pocket with the hammer in the right position, it's easy. My only problem is I had to write myself a good note so I would remember how I did it. My Buckmark is a much bigger problem to disassemble as the barrel screw has to be removed and it's got Loctite on the threads. You have to heat the screw to get it out the first time and many people have stripped the head, broken allen wrenches off and snapped the head off the barrel screw. I would much rather clean the Mk II than the Buckmark. I should note some Buckmarks can be field stripped by only removing the back rear-sight screw but on most models, the recoil rod will be bent if only the rear screw is removed.

Try the Beretta Forum for more information: http://www.berettaforum.net/ I was wondering if the lanyard mount is hung up on an edge. I cannot believe your pistol has a different method of retaining the hammer spring. Have you made any progress? PS: After reading this I started looking around and decided I want to replace the trigger spring. I ordered the part from Wolff Springs. I let you know the result.

Here is the link you want: http://www.beretta92fs.com/ You do not have to hammer the pin out. Once the lanyard mount is depressed, the pin slides out easily. After replacing my hammer spring, I have had no misfires due to light primer strikes . I also replaced the recoil spring with with a Wolff extra power spring and it also works perfectly with slightly less felt recoil.

FYI- the rules prohibit the use of heavy machine guns.

Out of curiosity, what would be the differences in the gun for the different types of shooting? barrel length. ie longer for trap where the clays are going away from you, shorter for skeet where they are basicly over your head. Over/under vs semi vs pump. What he said and the sights are also different. Trap guns shoot high to help the shooter lead a rising clay.

I agree on the weather. This should be fun, not a cold weather endurance test. I will wait for the weather to warm considerably before scheduling a meetup. I need something to look forward to when we are in the deepths of Winter.

I will do you one better. What is a 2x4 stake cutting match? Here is a thread that covers it all with pictures. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2327 A 9MM would probably beat a S&W 500 since the semi-auto would be faster than a revolver. We have one guy that wins most of the time shooting a 9MM really fast. Additionally, you have a team mate to help you. Sometimes the matches come down to taking out a splinter or a hanging board so accuracy can count more than power. Of course, a hit with a 9MM is better than a miss with anything else.

The matches start at 8:30AM and end at 2:30PM. The dates are: April 10 June 19 August 14 October 16 You do not have to be a member to participate. The cost is $3 per shooter per match and the winners of the match get $4 each. As always, insults are free.

The long range weather is horrible but let's plan something. Cherry Ridge has the plinking range which is my favorite. Rifles? Pistols? Both?

Surprisingly, I do not :? I shot tons in my Remingtion 582. We used to buy it by the case at Service Merchandise at $0.74 per box. My 10/22 had many FTFs and it handles just about anything. I would rate it above average for bulk ammo. My friend uses it in bullseye and likes it. I would recomend you buy it if you found a good price.

It is Serbian. The headstamp may have a NNY which is Cyrillic for PPU. I searched the 1911.com forum and the reviews were good overall.

Well I just got back from there today. $35 all said and done. Very very nice fellow. If the store were closer I would shop there as well. Today was a slow day for the call back from nics I had to wait an hour and a half. NICS must have been slow on Saturday due to high volume. Last time I did a transfer with Bruce it was on a weekday and it only took 10 to 15 minutes tops. I am glad to hear everything worked out okay.

I learned from "Adam 12", you don't go rummaging through your glove compartment when Officers Malloy and Reed stop you.

Welcome haole boy!

What are you planning to do with it? Any decision should consider this.

Any pump or semi-auto will do. I shoot an 870. For this match, you should bring about 50 rounds and they should be either 7.5 or 8 shot. It looks like Saturday will be windy and very cold. I would bet we will only have the pistol match.

"When dealing with guns, the citizen acts at his own peril," wrote the NJ Supreme Court when it upheld the conviction of the owner of a Marlin Model 60 .22 rifle as an assault firearm (State v. Pelleteri).

The match has been cancelled due to poor weather conditions. Let's hope for an early Spring for February 6th.

If you didn't enough reasons to hate Lautenberg and Menendez, both these clowns pressured the FDA to approve a defective knee replacement joint made by ReGen Biologics. In return they received large campaign contributions from the executives of ReGen Biologics. Here is a link to a Wall Street Journal article: http://www.healthpointcapital.com/resea ... donations/ Rep. Frank Pallone and Rep. Steve Rothman also are involved. I hope all of them wind up in jail.

D'oh! What was I thinking when I entered my birthday into my profile? :angry-banghead: Thank you to all and have a happy and prosperous New Year!
