I just bought one and moved my 700 into it. It took around 4 minutes, but I wasted a lot of time cleaning the bottom of the action that hadn't been cleaned in years. I like it. Seems to work well, looks cool, seems to shoot very well.

He is nice, consistent and fair, but unfortunately sells out within minutes every week or two when he gets more stock. Unless you happen to be watching the forum or a feed exactly when the stock is released you aren't going to get any from him. I'd buy from him in a heartbeat, but unless you are lucky with the timing you have to buy from other places too.

Probably because Putin has actually shot people?

Yours is not following the law. Follow up with the NJ2AS et al...

The reason we're told that we can't shoot 50BMG projectiles that have any steel in them at all is that apparently they will start a fire in the trees and rocks behind the targets. So, they have to test your projectiles with a magnet before you can shoot.

There is that new business (I think in Randolph?) that advertised in last month's ANJRPC newsletter. They will store your guns for you, or you can transfer them to you and they will hold them if you have legal problems, then transfer back. Ad claimed that they had support from NJSP, etc. Might be a good place to store a gun.

At this point, what guns are being sold at this rate? All the "desirable" or "soon to be banned" guns are off the shelves. The volume of sales at this point can't be so much heavier than normal, can it?

Yes, the "sneaky always pissed off guy" sounds great!

I'm pretty sure it's "Downfall" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/?ref_=fn_al_ch_2a This is a great movie about the last days of Hitler in his Berlin bunker, as he goes mad and everyone around either goes mad, kills themselves or tries to escape. A really great film.

I think this isn't necessarily a SHTF / prepper kind of thing, it's a "keep shooting and having fun during ammo crisis" thing...

The events I've attended in the last month have been much fuller than usual for this time of year. I think people are exercising their 2A rights. The ammo shortage hasn't really affected people who shoot regularly. I don't know anyone who has to buy ammo when they attend an event, and really most people could probably attend events for years before they needed to buy more. Also, people who do shooting events tend to reload more than the average person, I suspect.

I agree that this is great timing, and that lots of people should do it, but I think they do this every year. They also offer to increase your life membership level for $300 every year, or so. Also, they offer upgrades just about every year, too. I upgraded from member to life for $300 (list price $1000) I upgraded from life to endowment for $300 (l$2000). I upgraded from endowment to benefactor for $300 ($3500) I just upgraded from benefactor to patron for $300 last week ($5000). So I guess I've paid $1200 for my patron level membership.

I just got (more than I want to admit) rounds of 9mm purchased at $10.80 per box. Took 2 weeks to ship, but arrived today and the vendor sent me status updates every few days. Major vendors are not price gouging this time, so you just need to keep your eyes open and have a thousand bucks ready to strike.

There appears to not be the reloading component problems we had during the last rush. Still tons of primers and powder sitting around on shelves at normal prices with no limits. Some high quality projectiles are a little scarce (e.g., Sierra #2200 308 168gr HPBT MatchKing), but tons of others are available (and actually, just got a few thousand of those projectiles delivered today. I think primer companies (CCI, Federal, etc) have been ramping up production for the past 4 years.

Do a search on these forums, lots of info. It's a club. MCR&PC.

No such thing. Any gun you own or control should be able to magically fire AT ANY TIME and not hit anyone. If the gun was aimed at a foot, it's negligence.

Not a great bet. We haven't taken many new members in 6+ months, so the victim or shooter is probably not brand new. However, they do retired officer recertifications on Thursdays (great income for the club), and that's where I'd put my money!

There will be no ammo of any kind, anywhere, if the SHTF for real. If you can't produce your own ammo, you're not really prepping. 6.8 SPC II is quite common, and easy to load.

Thanks, ordered 3 5-rounders. 10-rounders out of stock. I just got a new McRees Precision stock for my 700 but finding magazines has been tricky.

Are there any vendors with AI magazines in stock these days?

Maybe handgun ammo, but I buy ammo from them regularly.

This is right on target. My brass separator spinning ball thing is FA, and it's "OK." I look at nicer ones and see how they are better, but probably not better enough to justify the purchase. I suspect fit and finish is a little nicer on other brands, but I can live with it.

I haven't seen a shortage (or significant price increase) in either powder or primers. Lots on the shelves.
