Never happened. FCSA never said anything about BOHICA. All internet rumors. They did ban a rifle called "Vulcan" at some point.

I forgot about the AR-50. I think that's another good option. I found that much factory ammo (especially Federal) was crap. I either handload or use these great South African surplus rounds that Widener's had. I bought a ton of it, and they also had the projectiles themselves and I bought two 500 bags of them. I should sell my Federal 50BMG stuff sometime.

I owned a Serbu, and I also still own a BOHICA upper (and slightly modified lower). Lower was modified with a heavier spring and hammer, and also one of those lead weights in the stock. They are both OK, but I wouldn't buy anything but a Barrett at this point. I will probably sell my BOHICA soon. One guy blew up his BOHICA with bad reloads in CA. There were pictures all over the forums of his blown up upper with blood on it, and it pretty much killed the BOHICA company. As far as I know, there were no other problems ever. The pictures included the hammer he was using to open and close the bolt... -Dave

I don't think so. It wouldn't be possible with the ranges current configuration. 1) They don't own that much property, 2) there are "wetlands" issues with much of their property, which is why it took years to get permission to build the access road, 3) If you look at the map, about 400-500 yards down the 100-yard range there is something else. I don't know what it is actually, but you can hear dirtbikes racing on it sometimes while you shoot.

It's almost busy on very nice weekend mornings. It's never busy any other time. I have never waited to shoot. There may have been a time when I stayed on a pistol range for an extra 20 minutes until someone got off the rifle benches, but that's it. I've rarely even seen other people there most times I shoot. It is busiest on Saturday mornings for the various competitions. Your comment about "only outdoors so it is closed in the winter?" makes me laugh. I never, ever shoot indoors because it sucks. Ranges are best in the winter, enjoying the quiet times. I shoot at CR and MCRPC all winter and it's great. The only bad thing is that it's easier to lose your brass in the winter, as it melts down through the snow. At MCRPC not only is it open, but all the weekend competitions continue.

Looking at google maps, this is an astoundingly recent sat picture: http://goo.gl/maps/uuFzV The new wall between the pistol range #3 and the rifle range is there, the new parking stops are there, etc. It's a very small, primitive place. 100/50 yard range to the left, three pistol ranges along the bottom. Trap goes across pistol #3 and the rifle ranges, so not much else happens during the monthly trap shoot. Two shipping containers hold range supplies, and the office trailer is where they do something officey, I'm sure. New access road goes up from the right top corner of the picture. Old access road through the farm and across the airport runway was over on the bottom left, but is now closed. They've put grass and trees on the sandy area over on the right. -dave

MCRPC is on Birdsall Rd in Farmingdale, just off Belmar Blvd. They have had this new access road and gate for around 2 years. There is now a membership cap of 600 members. Last month 3 guys died, so they took three people off the list. The average membership age is definitely at the point where that's going to happen. Also, in December everyone has to send in their $107, and quite a few mess that up. So, January/February I bet we get 20 new members. It only started to have this waiting list in the last year or so. The website is at http://www.mcrpcnj.com/index.html . On the membership tab is the email address for Bill Zide. See what he says. Doc Fazzino isn't the membership VP anymore. -Dave

Went to MCR&PC club this afternoon. Somehow I forgot about Saturday afternoon shore traffic, so it took longer than normal. Got there, gate was locked. Went in, shot for 2 hours in the beautiful weather, completely alone. Put 25 rounds through my Savage 110BA, and 60 through my new AR-10(t). Then, used the pistol range for a while. They've been working on the place, new grass and trees, new parking spots. Best $100 I spent this year.

I felt so guilty today I actually cleaned the two rifles and M9A1 I shot today.

It will be fine. The later you get there the more crowded, but they handle it well. They have a lot of ammo in every shape and size except 22LR. At 9am they might have 3 small boxes of CCIs. 30-30 should be no problem. They'll have multiple brands and loads, but they still limit how much you can buy.

I shoot 1000's of rounds in various expensive handguns between firings, and have never had any rust. My H&K HK45 only gets cleaned every month or so, and my M9A1 almost never gets cleaned. They shoot great, never any malfunctions (at all). I clean them when I have time, but they don't ever look particularly dirty. I used to clean every rifle after every trip, but realized that a) nothing bad happened if I didn't clean them every time, b) a barrel that has no fouling doesn't need brushing, and c) it's a waste of time for me. I have a lot of very expensive rifles, they are all in perfect condition, but there is no reason to obsessively clean them every outing... And, none of them ever have any corrosion.

Moot.

I felt the same way about the KSG! Used both, thought the UTS was nicer to hold.

Not to give you a hard time, but did you even try to read the laws or any research at all? A quick google search would tell you that pump shotguns are not subject to capacity rules. There are dozens of threads on this very board talking about these guns and owners in NJ (and other people asking the exact same question and getting the same answer).. More constructively, I have an UTS-15 and it's fun and easy and works great.

No, this has never happened, at least in the US.

Actually, I think the 6.5 Creedmoor only gets my vote if YOU DO handload. Their availability has been pretty bad. You can form the brass, and at least have a chance of making some ammo...

My iPhone test was sending from an AT&T iPhone to another AT&T iPhone (and Obama remained). Maybe it's the carrier?

I recently bought and started shooting a Savage 110BA in 300 win mag (was going to buy a 338LM) but I already have a few rifles with stupid expensive ammo and the reloading costs for 300 WM were much lower. It's a lot of fun. That said, my 308 Remington 700 in a fancy stock, etc, is just as much fun and accurate at 300yds.

I just did it and it worked no problem, Obama and all. Did you take off your tin foil hats before trying to text this?

Methinks you are going to the wrong restaurants in the wrong part of NJ.

I posted a question on their Facebook page asking if they were really denying entrance to veterans, and they deleted it around 30 seconds later. I suspect they may be starting to feel the heat of a poorly-considered decision.

Times when "as far as I'm concerned" is a significant fact during legal situations: 0.0

I rented an appliance dolly for my safe move. Had to talk myself out of damages when I returned the dolly with the shelf bent to a 45 degree angle.... Ended up using an engine lift, furniture dollys (the wheeled skateboard things) and a lot of 2x4 "shims" to move it.

If anyone else is just going to throw it away, I'm sure a million people would love to have it. Try a local boy scout.

I've bought that many two days in a row, and the storm troopers have yet to break down my door...
