Metal fuel jugs rust and leak. For super high quality jugs, you want 5 gallon Scribner fuel jugs: http://www.stableenergies.com/Scribner-Utility-Jug-5gal-Square/productinfo/FJ5/ They never leak, do very well at long-term storage, pour nicely, and you can stack them together tightly. Everyone who races uses these, but whenever I bring them somewhere to get filled up, the gas jockey tells me how great they are. These are the ultimate in gas storage, my friends.

NJ Firearms Guild in Rahway always has a number of new and used 10/22 rifles. I like the used ones because they are often 30+ years old, in perfect shape and barely shot. Nice wood stocks and nice metal actions.

There are a lot of postings from people with less than 10 postings with the words "gun control act" in them; a phrase which actually isn't used a lot on these forums. I wonder if it's a coincidence.

I know it's cool to talk about "liberal academia", but shooting sports have had a place in even the most liberal arts schools for many, many years. Drew University, a fancy liberal arts school in Madison, had a shooting team for a number of years in the 1980's until the organizers graduated and it petered out. We shot in the basement of Hoyt Dormitory. Princeton also had a shooting team for many years (and still might, I dunno but google could tell us).

A Colt HBAR in the $850 range is a good deal, and a great place to start in high-power competitions (or any rifle competition or fun shooting). Be aware that if it's a "C" model (with compensator) you can't use it in most competitions, and even if you can it's no fun for the people in the lanes next to you!

Christie is anti-gun. He will sign it.

To do this, you stand on your sofa and shout, as loudly as you can, "I DECLARE THIS IS MY HOME!"

For fun. I'd load my own, lowering the ammo price a little, but that's not the main concern. How much fun is the rifle to shoot; that's the real question!

Has anyone here shot one of these? How was the recoil? I've been told the brake is very effective. I thinking about buying one!

You're going to bad places that don't understand the laws and have bad customer service....

It's not the policy at any of the 20+ gun stores I shop at, and it's not the law. So, he's not out of line thinking this is stupid bullcrap.

The BG stuff has been reviewed remarkably well in various comparisions in Outdoors, Backpacking and some other camping/hiking magazines. The knives have been at or close to the top of the charts. It surprised me, but it's nice that he's put his name on decent equipment. I think the survival kits are probably the weakest thing, and any Boy Scout would create a better kit for a lot less $$.

My 1000 rnds arrived today. I have 500 or 1000 rnds arriving just about every week these days...

So now the rest of us have to suffer with him and be told untruths?

So, almost $1.50 a box more than what you can get anywhere online, plus NJ sales tax. Buy guns locally, buy ammo online....

Not only good price and free shipping, but 2x Cabela's points. I'm almost at $1000 on my Cabela's points, thinking about buying something cool.

No one has ever asked me about the legality of anything I've had at the range, ever, in 4-5 years of serious shooting, every weekend, multiple ranges. You are going to a range full of asses and should find another place.

I have no idea if this story was true last week, but I'm willing to bet big $$ that the Marines have ammo this week....

Hey, full props to a journalist who is willing to figure out the correct information, and do some research. Regardless of political leaning, this is something that is sometimes missing today, and I am happy that a newspaper employee cares enough to even think about whether a particular statement is accurate. "Thank you" I'm not sure he is "behind enemy lines" due to 2A issues, but more so due to "checking his sources" issues. Having been quoted in a lot of newspaper and magazine articles (for scientific and financial publications) it's nice to see someone who still follows the basic journalism tenets.

I drove out for the show. Took just less than 2 hours from Union County. This is actually a pretty good show. Large expo facility (looks like it used to be a corporate building or something), with tons of free parking and very wide aisles. Lots of people selling reasonably-priced stuff, some old, lots of new, a few non-gun vendors but not too many. I almost bought some ammo, but a quick websearch showed that it was slightly more than what I had been paying online. Almost bought a 1950's Marlin 336 in 32 special, but declined at the last minute because I didn't feel like adding another caliber to what I'm already loading. Although very old, it was clearly fired very infrequently, and the bore was like a mirror. Ended up buying 280 rounds of 1973 LakeCity 30-06 in M1 en-bloc clips in the original ammo box, a zombie t-shirt for my son and an instant neck heating pad for my wife. I would go again, it was one of the better shows within easy driving distance.

Has anyone been to the Eagle Arms show in Reading, at the Reading Expo Center? I was thinking about taking a drive tomorrow, until I saw a picture on the Eagle Arms website which makes it look like it might be one of those super-crowded narrow aisle shows. Anyone have any info?

Wow, no "I've been making my own wads since I was 13" jokes?

At 20+ mph over the speed limit on the highway portions, it's over an hour.

I have worked on (owned, race, built, fixed, etc) race cars in a serious way for a long time. Harbor Freight is great for rarely-used tools that aren't worth spending big money on for good tools. They are also great for buying tools you need to shave, shorten, bend or modify. If you need to make a short, thin 23mm wrench, HF is the way to go. On the other hand, for anything else you are just waiting for the late night when you're trying to get a car fixed or ready. The tool is going to break.
