I've been banging around the gun sites looking for information on the BPS I just got, and I'm at a loss. The gun I bought looks like a BPS Stalker, but it has a 32" barrel and is engraved with some duck stuff on the receiver. The information I've found doesn't show the engraving on the Stalker, and the 32" barrel seems to be unavailable on that model. I'm thinking that it's a different model that has the furniture replaced, but the barrel looks virtually new. If anyone has any ideas or additional information, I'd appreciate it. TIA Ken

Come up for the North/South event on the 23rd (tentatively). So far it's Tim and Chad(?). Join them for the trip.

Let us know how it shoots for you. I'll only be looking at mine until next week.

Now I'm ready. Just got back from Cabela's with a new (to me) Browning BPS Stalker 12 ga. pump. It's black on black and seems to be in excellent condition. A couple of minor exterior scuffs but otherwise clean on the outside, and the bore looks like a mirror. I took the advice of my betters and went with a longish barrel. I just hope I can get to where I can hit what I'm aiming at. Mark, you'll love this thing. It's completely ambidextrous. Tang safety and the shells load and eject from below. No side ejection port. Cabela's had no fewer than 200 used shotguns, and about 3 times that many used rifles. A very impressive display of new long guns. And a 50' counter full of handguns. I had only been there once before, and didn't have a lot of time to browse. Today was much better. I'm a happy camper. K

Welcome to the group.

I picked up a box from Simon Peter on 206 in Andover, but I'm guessing that Ramsey Outdoors in Ledgewood has them also.

Plus, there's the instant gratification of seeing the clay explode into a cloud of dust.

I know the fronts can. The gun comes with a couple of replacement fronts (taller/shorter) but I'm not sure about the rears. I'll check when I get home. K

Just a followup. Yeah, RG .22 is the Reagan/Brady gun. Some comments here: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-95667.html

As of now, the 9th is good for me. I may take a trip up to Cabela's this Saturday and visit the used racks for a gun. I'll definitely have a thrower by then, and will probably have Jordan with me.

I was doing okay with my son's Mossberg 500, 18.5" with an ATI skeleton stock and pistol grip. Couldn't even cheek the damn thing, since the stock has zero comb height. Granted, the clays were flying slow, but it was fun anyway. And fun is reason we were there.

Yeah, but you burned a permit that you could have used for a gun instead of a paperweight.

RG=Rotten Gun. A friend of mine has that in .38. It shoots 18" low at 15', has what feels like a 40lb. trigger pull and spits bits of bullet all over. Generally, not a great gun. I think an RG was used in one of the recent political assassination attempts, but I may just be repeating urban myth.

It's funny that 50 rds thru a pistol is like a few minutes for me but 50 rds through the shotty with these guys is an hour or more! And it's not expensive. Seems like more of a social event. Everybody's looking, and there's time between shots while the thrower reloads. Plenty of conversation and comradeship. Good times.

I just got a notice from Natchez that this is in stock. I don't need any right now, but this looks like a nice deal. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=RT23779&sr

That would be Milford.

I just bought a Taurus Tracker in .357 with the 6+" barrel. Took it to the range and discovered it had a headspace issue and would lock up at random times It's back in FL for repair/replacement. When it worked, it was really nice. The long, ported barrel sucked up the recoil, and the ribbed grip conforms to my hand and feels like a custom grip. The trigger seemed fine, but I don't know if I would recognize a gritty trigger if it jumped up and bit me. I like the fit and finish, especially the matte gray steel, but that was my first revolver so my experience is limited.

It's getting confusing... there are 4 concurrent threads touching on the same First Annual NJGF Pre-Labor Day CR North/South Shooting Event and Possible Barbecue. As I understand it, the date is yet to be etched in stone, but we're looking at August 23, and so far the only Southern visitor we can lock down is Tim. Chad is a probable, and nobody else from down below has opted in. C'mon guys, it's not so bad north of Rt. 80. I know you're all used to beach sand and sea breezes blowing across those southern sandbars, but once you get past the checkpoints, up north isn't so bad. Get on board!!! Let's make it happen.

I don't know, but wouldn't that be great? Who's bringing the beer?

My bad. Should be "none". I can only blame the early hour (5:14AM), bleary eyes and a laptop in the dark. Forgive any confusion I may have caused. Completely off topic, but when I got on the board at 4:51 this morning, it looked like there were 13 users logged in. Damn! It's like a morning fix for some people. I thought I was the only one.

Tim, In my best Ben Stein voice: "Chad, Chad, Chaaaaaad" I'm hoping you Southies are still up for this. We're trying to hold up our end here in the North and spread the word, but you guys seem to be dropping the ball. No Maks, Chad is eerily quiet. I dunno what's happening, but we're expecting you to fill the northbound van. Is the date an issue?

Nine of the NJ WalMarts (or any other big box/discount store) sell guns or ammo. You only have that kind of convenience when you shop in America.

Rick, Signup at CR is the first Sunday of the month only, so in August it would be on the 2nd and not the 9th. Check the website http://www.anjrpc.org/Membership/MembershipSundays.htm for membership info. K

Jordan is so pumped to shoot that he just got on eBay and ordered the cheap yellow thrower. Looks like I'll be spending more time at the shotgun range.
