I just replaced the factory sights with Dawson Precsion Sevigny Competition - Fiber Optic Mix sights. I had to file the base of the rear sight a lot to get the sight so that it was only sticking out about a quarter of an inch. I then pounded it in all the way with a small hammer and a 3/8" wooded dowe. The installation took about half an hour. One thing to remember, the rear sight notch is narrowest in the middle. Once the sight gets past that point, you have file the bottom of the base enough. The factory sight really sux. I pushed it out with a wooded dowl and just pressed with my hand. It has to get loose and screw up your point of aim. If you want a gunsmith, try Marco at Paterson Gunsmithing on Main Street.

You are allowed one evil feature. The rifle shown is illegal if it has a threaded barrel. Be careful posting photos on public forums. You never know who is watching. Here is the link to the NJ AG's website for "assault weapons": http://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcj/agguide/assltf.htm

I think the point is mute for NJ. As far as I can tell it is not NJ legal. It is a semi-auto with a detachable magazine that has three evil features; a folding stock, pistol grip and a flash supressor. You are only allowed one.

The match has been cancelled due to the forecast of rain.

$199 for the basic model but there are endless upgrades available.

Only found it today? Where ya been? Welcome.

I doubt its a fair comparison the 10/2 is basically the standard for 22 rifles The 10/22 is a much better quality rifle and has more consistant quality. It has a wood stock, good open sights, better trigger group and a vast selection of after market parts The Plinkster has one feature the 10/22 needs, the bolt stays open after the last shot. Overall, the Plinkster is a good value for the price.

Get this guy a call: Marco Feliz Paterson Gunsmithing 438 Main Street Paterson, NJ 07501 (973) 345-4100

My opinion is that it is legal since there is only an pistol grip and no flash supressor, bayonet lug, grenade launcher or folding/telescoping stock. However, this is New Jersey and you have to prove it is legal. You may wind up with a $12,700 subcarbine. $700 for the gun and $12,000 for the lawyer. This is State law. I have no idea regarding Federal laws. My advice is not to do it as this is just a "make it cooler" mod that has little or no improvement in function.

You should come by and watch. Shongum is just as far from you as Cherry Ridge http://www.shongum.org/activities/ipsc.html I am thinking Parkway North to 24 West to 287 North to 80 West. IDPA at Somerset: http://somersetidpa.com/ Both places are good with new shooters.

This is a good price. http://dickssportinggoods.shoplocal.com ... DSG-090913 The quality of the Plinksters can be hit and miss but I don't think you can go too wrong with this price. I have one and it works great and eats cheap Remington Golden Bullets like the pig it is.

Welcome. Here is the link for Somerset IDPS: http://scfgpa.org/idpa.html and here is the link for Shogum USPSA: http://www.shongum.org/activities/ipsc.html Both are fun to shoot and both are good places to start.

Welcome. I met "Joey" Torres on the street one day. Seemed like a nice guy but he'll probably wind up in jail someday.

Welcome. Maybe I will see you at the Bridgewater range for some IDPA.

The match starts around 10:30 AM but be there by 9:00AM if you are new. Here is the link: http://www.shongum.org/activities/ipsc.html There will also be a shotgun stage at the end of the match. This will be the first shotgun match using slugs.

Where are you shooting your first? I shot my first in Somerset. They give you a good briefing and are fine with new shooters. Just take your time and forget about the clock. Watch some internet videos, practice your mag changes and remember not to break the 180 rule, especially when moving, changing mags and clearing a jam. Keep your finger out of the trigger well when moving. Don't put your finger on the trigger until you have your pistol on the target. BTW: There is a USPSA match on Saturday, September 5th at Shongum. We are good with new people and it's good practice.

It seems to work well. Here are some reviews. http://www.midwayusa.com/Search/#clp____-_1-2-4_8-16-32 It seems everyone has a favorite but most should get the job done.

I have shipped with both UPS and FEDEX. I have never had a problem. Just reveiw the rules and be sure to disclose the package contains a firearm when you mail it. Do not have anything on the outside of the package that would indicate it contains a firearm. Use a plain cardboard box or FEDEX box. Use the smith's name but not the word "gunsmith". For example, when shipping to Herny Repeating Arms Company the name is "HRAC".

Welcome Marine! You should check out Cherry Ridge and Shongum ranges. They are much nicer than the public ranges. Also, check out USPSA matches at Shongum. It would be nice to have another shooter with a 92FS.

If things pan out, you'll have to come up to Cherry Ridge and check it out. I was going to wait but what the heck. You can also check out the USPSA and 2x4 matches too.

If things pan out, welcome neighbor, I'm in Parsippany.

Members of the US Armed Forces are always welcome here.

The round counts vary depending on the skills of the shooters, but in general 25 to 50 per shooter. The 2x4s don't seem to have enough mass to expand a hollow point. The faster rounds seem to do less cutting than slower rounds. Add to that the heavy recoil of a magnum and the magnums are just not the right tool for cutting a board. You would do much better with a .44 Special or a downloaded .44 Magnum with a SWC. The good thing about revolvers is you can use a soft load with 100% function.

Hollow points don't work well. The hollow point fills with wood and it becomes a point. Semi-wadcutters work best but FMJ work fine too.

You pay $3.00 per match. If you win the match, you get $4 back. In addition, the teams with the fastest time and the slowest time get plaques.
