Very true. I was trying to sell a gun on consignment once and only found out after the fact that I needed another PTP to retrieve the damn thing from them.

I have decided to consolidate my reloading calibers and am giving up on 44 magnum. I have a bunch of equipment and supplies that I am putting up for sale. I am listing these here on NJGF for a few days, then I'll put it up on non-local gun sites. I don't think they'll last long. - 2600 Large Magnum Primers (2 x 1000 boxes of CCI 350 + 6 x 100 boxes Federal) The smallest I will sell of CCI is by the box of 1000. The Federal primers I will sell all 600. Each box of CCI is $40. The box of Federal is $20. Please Note: You must have a valid FID card and ID to purchase primers. These are for local FTF purchases only. I will not ship primers. - 250 lightly used mixed (MagTech and Winchester) 44 Magnum brass - $20 (not shown in pic) - 700 New 44 Magnum Winchester Brass (7 x 100 bags) - These are $25 per bag or $130 for all 7 bags. - 1000 Hornady 240 grain SWC lead bullets (5 x 200 boxes) - $120 ($25 per box) - 200 Hornady 200 grain HP/XTP jacketed bullets (2 x 100 boxes) - $40 ($20 per box) - 5 Dillon 100 round Ammo boxes - $10 - very lightly used reloading equipment for Dillon 550B - $100 (would be $150 if purchased new through Dillon) - 1 tool stand (any caliber) - 1 tool head (any caliber) - 1 sizing die (44mag) - 1 powder die and funnel (44mag) - 1 seating die (44mag) - 1 crimp die (44mag) - 1 caliber conversion kit (44mag) - Not shown in pic I will not sell these components individually Please contact me if you are interested in any of these supplies. Thanks. I would prefer to just meet in Jersey face-to-face and save us both the hassle of shipping, but will ship if needed. The cost will be determined by what you order and where it's going.

Here's a few keepers...

I don't know if it's required by the state, but my township has started making you fill these out now. It has only been in the last year and a half. Before that, I never had to fill out that form in Middlewtown.

Thanks anyway. Maybe next time. If you're going to bring it, can you give me a shout?

Is this one Jersey legal? I am interested. It got a great writeup on AR-15.com. People speak highly of Zastava.

That's great. Maybe they got their act together. The last time I was there was a little over a year ago. Maybe I'll poke my head in next time I'm in the neighborhood.

The Sayreville Sportsman does have a good selection of pistols, although I always found their prices to be on the high side. My problem with them is that they have the least interested and least friendly sales staff I have ever seen. It's as if they could take or leave your business. I wonder if the place is just open as a hangout for the owner's and employees' buddies. As for shopping there, I had a similar policy with Harley Davidson of Edison. I would go in the store to check out the merchandise and see if I wanted it, then would buy elsewhere. I always though that bad customer service should not be rewarded. I hate to sound like Mr Negativity, but I know several people that feel the same way about the Sayreville Sportsman. We can't all be misanthropes, can we?

"Time is going by really slow". That's awesome. He should have asked if EMS could bring munchies too!

Sure. For $30 it was worth taking a chance. If it's no good I can get a Rock River A2 for the same price and still have spent less than the Sully.

I believe Sully sells a 1" buttpad that puts the total length of the stock right around A1 length. I saw that they had the extended buttbad. I didn't realize that this would put the Sully stock at A1 length. Also, the Sully stocks are $$$. I know they are built well, but I decided to experiment with the Cav Arms. I will report on how I like it once I receive and install the thing.

I went with the Cavalry Arms C1 stock. It is 5/8" shorter than the A2 stock (hence no spacer needed in it). I like the solid stocks because my cheek wants a solid surface to plant against, but I found the Entry and Sully stocks to be a little too short. http://www.cavalryarms.com/C1.html

Cheaper Than Dirt will never get a dime of my money. In the depths of the ammo shortage, they were the worst of the price gougers.

I think you'll like the Glock 23. I am a big guy with big hands but short stubby fingers. The Glock 23 I owned was really nice. I only got rid of it because I didn't like the caliber. I switched to 9mm and got the full size Glock (the full size fit my hands better) and couldn't be happier with it. I love a gun that likes to run dirty. That thing goes many range sessions without the mandatory cleaning I give my other guns. My only suggestion would be to try the Glock 19 (the same gun as Glock 23m, but in 9mm), unless you're stuck on getting a 40 cal. I find its shooting characteristics to be much friendlier (i.e. quick to get back on target, less snappy). It's not that I'm recoil averse (I own 44 mags, 45ACP, 10mm, 357, etc). It's just that the 40 seems to have a snap the others don't. Lunker

I am replacing the non-collapsible buttstock on my Colt Match target AR with a Cavalry Arms C1 version (A1 clone). To get off my fixed M4-style buttstock I need a spanner wrench for the job. I would buy it, but you don't need it for A1/A2 style buttstocks and will probably not need it again unless I sell the gun. Does anyone have one I could use? I go to Shore Shot and/or BA on Tuesdays, but could meet on a different night at your convenience. I sure said butt a lot in this post.

Consider a single action revolver. I have the Ruger Bisley Super Blackhawk. The recoil doesn't go straight back into your hand the way a double-action revolver does. It simply swivels up in your hand. The Ruger is also built like a tank. It's the one specified in the reloading manuals when some loads are marked as "for Rugers only". It can take whatever you dish out. If you don't have a single action revolver already, this would be a good one to get.

Tom is right about the brake pedal position. Do the brakes feel like they go too far to the floor when you apply them. That could be your master cylinder has a broken seal. If that's the case you want to take it to a mechanic very soon and go lightly on the brakes. The master cylinder has one redundant seal. If you go through the second one, you have no brakes. As someone who once drove through his own garage door because he was waiting until payday to buy a new m.c., I am speaking from experience.

This thread has been popping up in my head every time I visit Brick Armory. They have several AK clones up on the wall for sale. I don't think they are Saigas. I'd sure like to shoot one some time.

Jon, That sounds good. I will be going to the range on Tuesday night. I don't know if it will be BA again or Shore Shot though.

I fixed the link

***Link Fixed*** I just saw this posted on another site. If you want a solid dependable 357, this Ruger is tough to beat! Still in box with all documents. $350 plus $20 shipping. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =135776223

Howdy Jon, I'm in Middletown too. I am on Route 36, across from the Stewart's Root beer. I belong to Shore Shot and generally go there Tuesday nights, although this past week I met up with a gang from here that belongs to Brick Armory. Welcome.

I am only speaking from experience with my Beretta, but Promag is generally known to be an inferior magazine. They are , at best, a range-only magazine. One of the guys at Shore Shot gave me a NIB ProMag Cougar mag he had laying around. The gun turned into a jam-o-matic. After that I looked up ProMag on the Beretta forum and the near universal consensus is that they are junk. YMMV.

Commander and Government models are based on the same frame but have different length slides and barrels. The Government slide is 5". The Commander slide is shorter (4" ?). The Officer model is based on a smaller frame, and has the smaller slide and barrel. Reliability-wise, the Government and Commander have always been known as top-notch.

Talk about lashings... Here come the Kimber-lovers to get me. I like Colts and have a Gold Cup Trophy that I really enjoy shooting, but think you could get a better gun for the money with Dan Wesson, STI or Springfield. I have not been impressed with the Kimbers I have shot. To me they are the Absolut vodka of the handgun world. A mediocre product hiding behind good marketing, fancy packaging and a high price tag.
