  1. I've used The Parking Spot (both The Parking Spot 2 and The Parking Spot Haynes) and love them. Fantastic. Shuttles every few minutes. I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes even when coming in during the middle of the night from a late international flight. Cheap, and half the time I print out coupons from the airline website. Highly recommended.
  2. Yes, it's a gun. You'd have to be discrete using it in the basement since it might still be discharging a firearm in town, etc...
  3. I think they are already used widely in the National Match Air Rifle competitions. There are a lot of people using AR in the National Service Rifle competitions, and this would be a platform for off-season practice.
  4. Creedmoor sells air rifle conversion kits that are basically an AR-platform air rifle upper. http://www.creedmoorsports.com/shop/MAR177-PCP-Conversion-Kit.html Does anyone have one of these? I'm thinking it would be fun to practice with my son in our basement this winter! -Dave
  5. Also look at TK Custom moonclips and tools. I am very happy with the clips and tools I've bought from him. One man shop, but he ships immediately. http://www.tkcustom.com/
  6. Yes, but they rebuilt, and if you look at the picture on their website it seems that they built a nice range. However, on the front page of the website it says:

    No, it's not, IMHO. Those posters that think this is true, please post any kind of legal reference, Nappen article, AG letter, etc. The law states, "a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm." Do you think that it's legal to OWN more than 14 links? How is that different than having 100 links? How is that different than having 100 links linked up? However, in the definition of a machine gun, the law mentions belt-fed guns, so they aren't ignoring belt fed in the magazine definition for semi-auto guns, just not listing it. I'm not saying you might not get arrested, but you'd eventually get off.
  8. I'm not sure there are any private gun ranges in NJ that aren't family businesses?
  9. Ordered 5K primers (split between 3 different types). Website is slightly slow, but worked fine.
  10. They are allocated or sold out from the manufacturer and the big distributors, and the only ones left are in dealers' inventory around the country. A local dealer is unable to obtain one. Most local gun dealers are buying from the same 2 distributors; if one dealer can't order it, usually most have the same problem. There are some local dealers that call around and really hunt for you (TJ did this once for me with a S&W 629), but generally if they aren't at the distributors the local guys can't get it and you have to find someone somewhere around the country who has one in stock.
  11. I think they also don't want the headline risk. Even if they weren't subject to criminal or civil actions, you don't want to be the poster child for "illegal gun sales on the internet." If you own a firm, this is the headline you don't want: Joe's Gun Shop Selling Illegal Gun Parts to NJ Residents on the front pages of the Star Ledger. You'd also probably get a little more attention from the ATF, and no gun shop needs an extra audit or two per year.
  12. I would suggest that although 3-6% for a realtor is a ton of money, depending on the agent and the region you can end up making enough more from the sale that it makes it very worthwhile. I had a few experiences trying to sell houses myself, and ended up making a LOT more than I expected using a realtor (after giving up). -Dave
  13. Without knowing much about the sport, I'm surprised that a second person doesn't have to see the timer before the score is recorded. Wouldn't that be a normal process in a highly competitive sport? Not just to prevent cheating, but even more so to prevent human mistakes which could really change the outcome?
  14. Many bolt action rifles come with flash hiders or compensators that might be a flash hider in NJ. My Savage 110BA in 300 win mag is one example.
  15. I call it both, but someone calling out Case's as a come-lately imitator made me look the story up, and it's pretty interesting: While a similar item, packed minced ham, may have been produced at the time of the Battle of Trenton,[3] John Taylor is credited with creating his secret recipe for the product in 1856. George Washington Case, a farmer and butcher from nearby Belle Mead, New Jersey, created his own recipe for pork roll in 1870. Case's was reportedly packaged in corn husks.[3] Taylor originally called his product "Taylor's Prepared Ham",[4] but was forced to change the name after it failed to meet the new legal definition of "ham" established by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. Marketed as both "Taylor's Pork Roll" and "Trenton Pork Roll", it saw competition from products with similar names like "Rolled Pork" and "Trenton style Pork Roll". When their makers were sued by Taylor a 1910 legal case ruled that the words "Pork Roll" could not be trademarked.[4] In North Jersey, residents continue to use the term Taylor Ham. So, Case's is an imitator, but only 14 years newer at 145 years, where Taylor's is 158 years old.
  16. I'm ready to buy. Need to use the next 2 permits to pick up my pair of SASS Ruger Vaqueros, but in 60 days (hopefully they will be easier to find) I'm going to get one.
  17. It allows people like me to enjoy the forum without having their head exploded 4 times a day.
  18. I don't know what industry you are in, but in my industry, wages in the NJ/NYC are 3-5x (yes, 200-500%) higher than everyplace else (except possibly San Francisco, where the cost of living and nanny-statestness is even higher).
  19. His first 600 posts were just setting us up for this one...
  20. As far as I can tell, there is below 0% employment for IT techs and developers in NYC. I recently hired several developers, and it took me months to find the right guys; everyone with the skills I needed was well employment. Same when I had to hire a desktop tech a year ago. There were none. The few my recruiters found for me had real issues. I suggest finding a (reputable) search firm in NYC to help you. You shouldn't be having this much trouble if you are looking in NYC. Also, remember that few jobs are advertised in newspapers and websites.
  21. I love Anthony, and I love GFH Radio, but I can't listen to these podcasts sometimes. I get so depressed.
  22. At least by 1999 you had to list two references. My PD is very quick (32 days for last 3 permits), but they still send the same guys the same letters, time after time. One is even a town councilman in the same town, that the cops see a few times a week, as he was the law enforcement liaison for the council, and I live on the same block as the police station. They still send out the letters, every time...
  23. Most often the guns I want to buy are hard to find. I use the NJGF Price Request, and usually get 4-5 "can't get that" responses, so I try. I almost always buy it now for the lowest total price including shipping, and GunForHire charges me $20 for the transfer including NICS. So for my, GB is the way to find guns. NO dealers I called last month had a reasonable stock of S&W 357 revolvers; I had my pick of 500 models on GB. Next purchase is a pair of Ruger New Vaquero 357 with sequential numbers. I'll try to buy locally, but will end up buying on GB. When I do want something more common, I go to my local stores, usually the Rahway FAGs or Mastodon if I can.
