Good call Tim. Trail Boss is perfect.

Maks, I use these for my auto pistol calibers. They work well to make sure I have a good fit for tight match chambers. After seeing some of the problems you had Tuesday with sizing, I would suggest a headspace/max length gage. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?p ... ber=880646

Try Bullseye or Unique.

I only allow myself two new per year. Any more than that and I have to reach into the safe to sell a less used gun. It's my version of an austerity plan.

Me either.

+1 +1 One incident is an occurrence and does not constitute a track record. BA seems to have a track record. Disclaimer: This is all second hand info for me (albeit lots of it). I have never ordered a gun from BA and have no axe to grind here.

That's the place. The second gun I bought there I got lucky. The owner's son talked him out of retirement for a few months and I got it before he retired for good. He was a nice old-timer.

That's a heck of a first gun!

Getting a little ahead of yourself?

I bought a sweet pre-lock 686 from a mom-and-pop sporting goods store in Milltown. I bought my second gun, a Colt 1991 Commander from them too. Not the best prices, but a super nice guy. The 686 I walked away with on the spot. The Colt I waited a month for. Both times when I went to the Sayreville Sportsman to make sure I liked the gun, then bought it elsewhere because their customer service (and prices) suck.

Some people would disagree but I find the biggest difference between magnum and standard primers to be the strength of the cup. Magnums can handle higher pressures. The actual difference in frisance (sp?) Is not that much in my experience. I reduce the powder charge by 5% with magnum primers and go from there.

As fun as the carbines are to shoot, Hi-Point's look ilke hammered shit. They are like mopeds and ugly girls... Fun to ride but you're embarassed to show them to your friends.

I only noticed recoil on the Storm when I had no stock spacers on it. It put my face too close to the sight on the stock. I added two spacers on and that made the issue go away.

I fired the 9mm carbine at Shore Shot. It was ugly but accurate and fun to shoot. I've spent $200 on stupider things.

To me it has the classic lines and look of the M1 Carbine, adjusted for New Jersey legality and modern day crap-plastic replacing wood.

I'm happy you made it there. No extra hassles due to gunpowder residue I presume.

I agree (mine is a 9mm), but there are some 40 lovers out there, so this is for them.

If anybody is looking to add a GREAT pistol carbine to their collection. And it has the desirable Ghost Ring sights. $435. http://www.summitgunbroker.com/Ruger_PC_carbine.html I have bought from them before. They have good used guns at a decent price.

It was a full house tonight at BA, with a strong NJGF presence. :clap:

Hey Jeremy, I figured I would show you the Ruger. My rifles are down towards the bottom of the page. The PC9 is in the middle. You won't go wrong with the Beretta or the Ruger. Chris

I own a Glock 34 and have owned several other Glocks in various calibers and frame sizes. I also have owned (and still do) Beretta. My opinion is that the Glock really shines in its 9mm guns. I think that in a snappy caliber like 40S&W you may be better served with the Beretta PX4 Storm. It has a rotating barrel system that really soaks up recoil amazingly well, and much better than the Glock models in 40S&W(G22 and G23) using the standard tilting barrel. I regret having gotten rid of my Beretta Cougar, which was the metal predecessor to the Storm Px4.

Here are three. The top is my Marlin 1894C in 357mag. The middle (my favorite) is my Ruger PC-9 in 9mm. The bottom is the ubiquitous Beretta Storm Cx4 in 9mm. Matt, That POS Beretta is a tack driver. I would have never thought it until I tried Doug's at Shore Shot. At some point in the near future I hope to have one of these in 10mm. You just need a Glock or 1911 lower. http://www.mechtechsys.com/

I'll give you a hand. It's pretty easy.

Nope. It's for sighting in iron sights. Usually all you need is a screwdriver for adjusting red dots.
