Translation: "We think these guns may be harder to get, therefore we are going to take advantage of the situation and perceived rarity and raise our prices. Our distributors have not raised their prices, but we see that we can make some money off of people's fears, so we're going to be jerks and screw you, the consumer."

I almost won the 22 father's day shoot at MCRPC today using my 10/22. My 11-yo son also competed with his 10/22. Not a problem with each, and I hit all 13 little metal targets at 25yds in 15 shots. I've started only using the CCI AR-Tactical copper-plated ammo. I did a test a few months ago, with 9 different brands/styles, and the CCI AR-Tactical did best in my rifle all three rounds. No doubt other rounds work better in some guns, etc. I've shot a few thousand of these, never had a single FTF/FTE anything even slightly wrong.

CR is a complete fail when it comes to explaining their activities to get new people in. Dozens of interesting events on the website, not a single word of description on any of them. Email the event organizer, maybe they'll respond, maybe not. I've gotten some pretty cryptic responses that really didn't tell me the rules, equipment, etc, even after a few replies. I don't know why they don't have links on each event that have some details. I've emailed the webmaster about once a year for the past 2 years, but have never received a response.

After 3 recent Verizon home line failures, each of which took 5-7 days for them to repair (somewhere in the line, nowhere near our house because we never saw the repairmen) I finally gave up and went to Comcast, adding Xfinity phone service to my cable/internet. The funny thing is that I went from (standard def TV + internet) to (HD TV + internet + phone) and my Comcast bill dropped $20 a month...

I was going to suggest reloading, usually the perfect answer to odd calibers, but brass is nearly non-existent, most are forming it out of 32-20 brass, so unless you are a serious reloader that's probably not a great suggestion...

This is the only place I could find in ammo engine nagant pistol ammo

Impressive. Great job.

Federal 55gr FMJ American Eagle for $299/1000 rounds = $0.32/rnd including shipping Natchez

I saw one at NJ Firearms Guild in Rahway yesterday afternoon while I was buying my M9A1.

Just got MidSouth Shooters Supply at 2:48pm

Can you touch these guns anywhere in NJ, or do you have to order them?

Midway email just came. Looks like Friday afternoon is the time for shooting emails!

In the past 4 hours, have received email Memorial Day sales fliers from Creedmoor, Natchez Shooters Supply, Cheaper than Dirt and Graf & Sons with some very good deals. If you're looking to buy stuff, check today!

It would be nice if every copy of the form letter didn't have the same punctuation errors. I see that errant apostrophe and instantly my opinion of the author degrades slightly. I'll try to get him to fix it, but you might all consider proofreading it entirely before you send it. -Dave

They won't steal from you or anything, they just might forget to ship until you remind them a few times. I'd order from them, just keep the communication lines open.

I used to buy from Botach all the time, especially Lithium 123 batteries which they sell at 1/10th the price of anyone else, but after a number of botched orders, unshipped orders, disappeared orders, I gave up. It's too bad, because they have cool stuff, often at reasonable prices, but I couldn't take the random selection of (excellent service) and (completely terrible service) for each order. I did some internet poking around, and it seems like there are a lot of reports of variable service. Lots great, lots terrible....

Moot

I think it was closer to $1K with the cash discount.

Since it is a closed case, can we publish the docket here?

There's no real way of knowing. The law says "folding or telescoping stock": N.J.S. 2C:39-1w(2) but who really knows what that means. There are smart, well-informed people on this board that will go both ways on the UBR. No one knows what they meant. They probably meant to include stocks that could be adjusted so that the weapon would be less than the legal length of a rifle, but unfortunately that's not what they wrote. I recentlysaw a "pinned" adjustable stock to a fixed length by screwing a machine screw into the adjustable part. It's not the fancy "blind pinning" that some people do, but I'm willing to bet that it would be acceptable in a court, I suppose. But, who knows. So, the official answer is "no one knows" - I'm not a lawyer, but lawyers don't know what they meant, either.....

If only there was someone selling a relatively cheap Rem 700 in 223 with a great scope....

I just bought one. Will ship it to Tony for the transfer. Yay.

I know you can do one check for a handgun and more than one rifle, all together (I did this recently). I know you can do one check for multiple rifles, all together (I did this recently, too). You can't buy multiple handguns without the special permit, so that's moot. So, there you go.

A 12-pack of condoms and a pocket knife?

Yeah, so while you're at it call up the NJSP and ask them about Saiga rifles. When you're done, let us know when we have to turn them in. It's not blind sheep, it's "not moronically single minded" sheep who are able to see multiple sides of the same issue. Also, since there are BB pistols in this state, I suspect it might actually BE ILLEGAL to ship BB's to NJ without FID and DL photocopies, since they are handgun ammo. I think the same is probably true for 22LR, but they haven't figured that out, and I'm willing enough to risk prosecution from getting BB's from Midway.
