lunker

Get that junk off the M14.

Jon, Thanks for the info. I just bought a big jug of Trail Boss from Solomons. Of course I waited 45 minutes with just three people ahead of me, but of course I go to that place for the ambiance rather than the fast service.

Go check gunbroker.com. I would take a pre lock 1980s or earlier Smith and Wesson over anything new they make today. Only the current performance center stuff is equal or better than older S&W. I am not a fan of Taurus, but I know plenty of folks who are.

In the Poconos. There is a range near the top of Lake Wallenpaupack and campsites nearby. You need to pay around $35 to Pennsylvania to be able to shoot at the range though. It is their version of New Jersey WMA's I think.

Ditto

I saw that last week. It is one of the worst things I have ever seen. Not that I do drugs these days, but there is one I will check off my list to even try.

No love for the machine aluminum? The one in the link looks interesting. The other ones I have seen feel like thick, stiff rubber. I wasn't impressed.

I put in an order for one before the new year. I know surplus 30 '06 is cheaper than 308, but I have a good amount of 308 and reload for it, so... One thing to consider if you like to go to CMP shoots. You used to NOT be able to shoot 308 Garands at CMP Shoots. Now that the CMP is offering them for sale it may be a different story. I don't know.

I do have an astigmatism, and Aimpoints look more like shining stars than small dots. It has not impacted me using them though,

I left a nice note on their Facebook page informing I will not be coming and why.

Why isn't this thread 10 pages long? I'm in.

You need to read his books on a Kindle so you can look up the words you don't know. Game of Thrones was even worse. The author is a vocab nerd.

Both my Ithaca 37's can do that. No disconnector. It's a little scary if you're not expecting it.

I never found mine hard to clean. I loved that it ate steel cased ammo with no problems. On the other hand, the rifle's fluted chamber dents the casemouth and leaves a weird pattern in the brass that made me question its reloadability.

I am ready to try trail boss for my 357 loads. I have been destroying my bowling pin targets at Central Jersey with full power 357.

I was always a fanboy of Shore Shot. I like the folks who own it and most of the people who work there. Some of the stories of ridiculous pricing and bad customer service have made me more wary of them though. Brick Armory's range is far superior and usually much less crowded, but I found their range supervision to be very lacking. It was not shocking to see muzzles pointed where they shouldn't (i.e. not downrange).

Request from Beretta that they give you a new gun with the same serial number as the one you sent in. If not, you need to get a new Permit To Purchase.

I have read far more incidents of metal replacement guide rods causing problems than the stock plastic ones.

The best references are the ones YOU KNOW will mail in the form the next day (i.e. other gun owners).

Michigan is a shall issue State that also provides for local preemption, so there is a precedent.

Provide for home rule preemption. That is the sticking point. Illinois will become a patchwork quilt State where you can carry in some towns and cannot and many others. Obviously Chicago and almost all of Cook County will be a big no no.

Guess what kind we live in.
