GunBroker and GunsAmerica are your friend. Check and see if you can get it there. Nothing worse than putting in an order and waiting. Just have the gun shipped to your FFL. No permit extension.

Someone piss in your Wheaties? Disgruntled Libertarian like me?

Here is an interesting thread on 10mm performance. http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=106470&highlight=10mm

By the way, don't vote for Obama if you like your guns.

It's good, potent ammo. The light weights like 135 grains are superfast screamers. The 200 grain hard cast is a super penetrator. Great woods defense gun.

Arts and craft stores have paint pens. I got one in bright orange at the Michaels in Middletown. Eventually it wears off, but it is always easy to re-apply.

Thanks. The Saiga is safe for 5.56. Good luck with the build. They are pretty easy and you will get to know your rifle inside out., which is a very good thing. I went with 223 for commonality of caliber.

The Buds price is old. Count on $425+ for a new Saiga. I have a used, converted (by me) one for sale in the classifieds. The Ultimak gas rail and spare mags in the listing are sold pending funds. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/41133-wts-like-new-converted-saiga-223-with-lots-of-goodies/

I drive 45-50 minutes to get to Central Jersey to shoot. It is worth it.

New Jersey Wildlife management areas are free to shoot on. You are limited to shotgun and rimfire though.

Hey Maks, PM Shane45 about them, or ask him to post here. He was interested in them but I believe they had some growing pains with their all polymer fire control. I personally like the FN pistols, but have only tried their hammer guns. Chris

Sea Bright and Highlands are not going to be anything like you remember for a long time. They are destroyed. Union Beach too, from what I hear standing on the gas line.

357 in a J frame cannot be enjoyable. I had a Ruger SP101 (a much heavier gun than the S&W J frame) and shooting full bore 357 was a handful.

Reading the above makes me want to visit that store more, not less.

Got a Facebook message that it is cancelled.

A NJ FID is effectively a travel permit for long guns. If you don't have one, you are subject to the same restrictions as hand guns.It must be unloaded.

Sears gets them in by the 18 wheeler full. And doesn't price gouge. I got mine at the Middletown store when I lost power after Irene.

Not a big fan of barrel porting. Maybe on a field gun where I would want something to compensate for the lighter weight. Not on a Sporting gun though.

What does the UK version have (or not have) that makes it different than the American one?

A trap gun has some nice qualities that aren't on other shotguns. A high rib/stock lets the shooter get a great mount on the gun (I prefer the high stock even on field guns), lessens recoil, and patterns high to allow the shooter to be viewing the target as opposed to covering it up like on a field shotgun. A trap shotgun doesn't have to be super expensive. A Remington 870 or 1100 Trap can both be had for under a grand. Beretta autoloaders can be had for a bit over a grand. There will come a point at which you will get good enough to appreciate the difference. I may or may not be there yet (probably not, but I do like actually being able to see the target), but at least my tool won't be a limiting factor.

Got one this morning. The code didn't work this past Saturday when I tried it a few times.

Great guy to deal with. Enjoy the PPQ Andrew!

The below pertains to "fighting" ARs, not target models. It depends what you are looking for. The M&P has great value for the money and S&W has a great lifetime warranty. I am a fan of Spikes Tactical. They are considered a half (or full, depending on who you talk to) step below the premium AR builders. I have one of their mid-length uppers on my Noveske lower, and it is great. The top tier manufacturers are Colt, BCM, Daniel Defense, Noveske, LaRue Tactical, LMT, Knight's Armament. I'm sure I am missing one or two. With these manufacturers you are getting products built with the best parts and to higher standards. The question is if that is what you want or feel you need. If this is only going to be a range gun, then that Bushmaster/DPMS/etc is just fine. I went with a Colt (great resale value) and Noveske/Spike.

Bryan, come out to CJ in the morning on Saturday November 3rd. I will have my Model 25-2. me and the wife, and Irish Pete and Irish Pete's Wife are coming too.

Finely crafted boat anchors. Why do you want a nearly 10 lb AR chambered in an intermediate caliber like 556? It would make more sense in 308. I think there are better options out there for you.
