My recommendation would be to avoid the newer Marlin lever guns made by Remington (qc issues, rough action, etc). Look for an older Marlin. I actually have the Rossi 92 big loop in 357 (Winchester clone on the cheap) and love it. The Henry rifles are nice (and made in Jersey), but use a lot of MIM parts (if you care about that).

I bought a rifle in 204 Ruger a few years back (and regret having sold it, but what else is new). It was the only non-rimfire caliber I could find whose recoil allowed me to keep my target in the scope field of view at 250 yards under 10X power. I used to shoot water bottlles and tomatoes on sticks at that distance, and even light 223 (40 grain) and 22-250 recoil jarred my view enough not to see my target explode. I didn't want to go smaller than 20 caliber because most of them suffer too much from wind drift. 204 Ruger is light, but at 4300fps, drift is not much of a consideration as the bullet arrives there pretty instantaneously. Oh yeah, and did I mention the polymer ballistic tip makes stuff flat out explode when you hit it at that speed?

Varmint calibers. 22-250. Better still, 204 Ruger. Zero recoil. Shoots straight as a laser. And you can buy a singleshot NEF Handi-rifle for less than $200. As for the 243, it is a necked down 308 case that holds a lot of powder and has a fair amount of recoil.

If you like punk rock/alternative music and PBR in a can, head over to Asbury Lanes. Bar/bands/bowling simultaneously.

And paying top dollar for the privilege, if I remember correctly. The gay gentrification that has made some of Asbury nicer, has also made it pricey. On a different topic, the sausage stand on the boardwalk (next to the kid's water playground) is good. That last sentence just sounds dirty, but it's not.

One or two of the floors in the Berkley-Carteret are welfare/section 8 housing, probably a vestige from before New York money moved into town. It can make for interesting elevator rides to your room from the lobby. You will notice that the doorman there is built like a bouncer and takes absolutely no shitt from street hoods.

Good link. Sticky in the AK section?

Don't feel bad. That happens to me a lot here in the shotgun forum. In the handgun section, it Pizza Bob that gets the drop on me.

I saw them at Lollapalooza back in 1990. They were great then.

Thumann's pork and beef mix. Great snap to them when grilled. Board's head is a close second. 100% Beef dogs are usually too greasy, and I am goyim so kosher doesn't matter to me.. And Rutt's Hurt, and the old time place in Fort Lee are the best one I have ever got from a stand. Nathan's is OK.

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but are you sure it's not the side plate that comes off on the right side of the gun? The side plate is wedged in there very tightly so I could see someone thinking it was a crack. Edit: as usual, pizza Bob beat me to the punch again.

I can't use them, but thanks. It's a nice gesture and I hope someone is able to take advantage of your generosity.

+1. I clean my guns when they are filthy enough to warrant it. No rust.

The FSC 556 is one of the few (maybe the only one) muzzle attachments with a letter from the ATF stating they are such, a vestige of the AWB days of the 90's. The ATF no longer does this since the national AWB expired.

An M1A Scout is one of the handiest rifles you will ever own. Personally, I would keep it. Let me know if you'd like to sell it. I regret selling mine. I can't say that about many guns I've sold.

I have the Savage Model 10 Precision Carbine in 308. Great, accurate rifle.

AK in 5.56/223?

I was watching that video on my Kindle with headphones and laughing hysterically. My wife thinks something is wrong with me.

Wow. That is crazy.

Shifty New Jersey. It figures.

Are you sure about the shotgun being a no-no? The NJ FID is basically a carry permit for a long arm, exempting us from the restrictions we have with handguns. Most shotguns can be broken down by removing the barrel, making them easy to stuff in a bag and easy to reassemble in a tent.

The 5R models are nice. So are the 700P and 700LTR. I should've been more specific in my criticism. The higher end Remington stuff (Wingmaster and Police models, etc) seem to be less affected by the QC issues at Remington.

The more I read about new Remingtons, the less I want to own them, or any of the companies they bought (like Marlin). Quality control is supposedly in the toilet. You have lots of other options for quality bolt action rifles, including older used Remmys.

I'll bet some of the folks getting ignored start cc'ing higher ups in the company on their e-mails to support staff, then their problems magically go to the top of your list. In a state where firearm ownership is intentionally made difficult, going up the chain is your only recourse. Police chief, then mayor, then assemblymen, etc. Document each interaction. You may need it for the threat of a lawsuit at some point. Play hardball. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Tapatalk 2

Edited. I was thinking of 300 blackout.
