I've actually been to Holland and Holland, but they impressed me as being just stupidly expensive showpieces, not really related to guns, nor antiques, just nice too expensive things. Griffin and Howe have more guns that I'd actually like to own to shoot, compete with, etc. I might actually buy a Krieghoff K-80 sometime, and they have them new and used, and other nice things. They are still aspirational, but not stupidly expensive.

They have dozens, hundreds of used old valuable shotguns. They have a lot of their inventory on their website.

I am following this debate with deep interest. I have a friend who has been thinking about buying a black powder handgun at Cabela's in PA to bring back to his or her home in NJ. Does the logic follow there, too? I know that Cabela's will sell a NJ resident a black powder firearm, because they don't care where you are from...

Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID)- 2 permits 2. Police Department where you applied - Fanwood 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD - Sgt Jedic 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit - 31 days 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form) - none 6. Notes - no additional fees or forms, received 2 status calls to let me know how it was going

Submitted forms on Friday, March 11th, received my phone call to come pick up today, which is 31 days by my count. I think it would have been faster but my strong local reference shooting buddy forgot to return his ref letter for a week or so. Got two unsolicited status phone calls during the process telling me how it was going. Cost was $18 MO for the background check, then $4 cash for the permits on pickup. So, I continue to be happy with my local fuzz, who are good guys.

Covered extensively in this recent thread: Dick's in Hanover Store was too small, moving all hunting/shooting to Rockaway and expanding fishing in Hanover. Not a political statement, just a too-small store.

You should tell us the identify of this FFL, because he sounds like someone from which to stay away (at least for those of us who aren't anxious for some leisurely "state time"). Goodness only knows what he/she is telling people about other stuff....

I think it took me around 3 weeks. Clearly, the guy has no inventory, orders your parts from his wholesaler when he finally collects enough to make a big order, gets his order, and then sends you yours. He is a nice guy, and has some nice parts at good prices, you just need to wait. I don't think is dishonest.

So, it must be true.

So, if they are registering the long guns, that sounds more restrictive. Do you have to register long guns bought F2F? If so, much much worse than NJ.

It looks like all you have to do is sign up for a 2-year (or more) membership and you can purchase as soon as the paperwork for the membership clears.

Most of the rifles Tony sells all have new barrels, so you don't need to worry about TE. He does have some with used barrels, but he includes the TE number in the description.

The guns from Tony are not really applicable to the CMP scale, as other people had mentioned. He uses new barrels and stocks, but with all other original GI parts as much as possible. He has several grades of his own. He calls them "Premium Grade Shooter" so they're not for collecting, but setup to be shooting. He does sometimes also sell collectible versions, which you could grade on the CMP scale. The bottom of his sales page has an explanation: Garand Guy So, rebuilt rifles like these don't really fit on the CMP scale. That said, he produces nice rifles...

I like going to CR all winter because of guys like you! It's fantastic to have only 4 or 6 guys on the range, and you just have to dress a little warmer...

Anyone know a NJ retail gun store within an hour of Union County that has AR-15 stripped lowers for a reasonable price, let's say $175 or lower. I know Sayreville Sportsman has them, but they have strange logos on them. And I know Paul at ArmsNArmo probably has great quantities at great prices, but he as about as far away from me as you can be and still be in the state. Any other stores have stripped lowers for sub $200 pricing?

Edit, found it too, LOL

OK, where did you find it, because I didn't....

Fanwood sent letters to references the day they received my application, although they knew me and one of my references is on the town council. I'm at day 15, but I expect PPP's before day 30.

You are thinking way too small....

In Computer Science this is called a fencepost issue. People get the answers wrong because they don't think about all the ends. However, in this case, it's clear that the rule is unclear, and that you want to keep 30 days <b>between the sales</b> to be safe. So, if you buy a handgun on day N, you want to wait until day N+31 to be completely safe. 30 days between. Buy a handgun on March 21st. 3/21 purchase date 3/22 1st of the 30 days between 3/23 2nd of the 30 days between ... 4/20 30th day of the 30 days between 4/21 day to buy your next handgun Count 30 full days, starting the day after, to get 30 DAYS BETWEEN and you are safe. I suspect you could buy on that 30th day, but since I have no interest in wasting a few hundred thousand bucks hiring Nappen to defend me, and am not anxious to get a** raped in Rahway, I'll wait the full 30 days BETWEEN that the stupid law sez...

I stopped in today on the way home from the range, my first visit to this place. The WALL of SIG 556 rifles is still there. At least 15, so they haven't been selling too well. They are now on sale for $1189, plus NICS, which appears to be close to the going price. They have a lot of handguns, appear to be close to MSRP. They have perhaps 1/2 the number of handguns that NJFAG has on display, however. I think I'd go 10 minutes further north to the NJFAG in Rahway, where they have even more on display and better prices. They had five stripped lower receivers for $149, which is good for a NJ retail store, but they were a brand I had never heard of, and had this "Duty Honor Country" painted on logo I didn't particularly like.

I have three techsights, but only the TSR200 models. I haven't found them difficult to adjust at all.

The problem with this is that nuts are very poor at self-identification. You introduce me to someone who tells me they are nuts, and I'm going to figure out that they are just a little wacky or eccentric. The real nuts never know they're nuts....

No matter on what side of the political fence you sit, paying too much attention to what GB says is probably not good for you.

I disagree. I think you can get 6 handguns easily in much less than 180 days. Day 1 first purchase Day 32 second purchase Day 63 third purchase Day 94 fourth purchase Day 125 fifth purchase Day 156 sixth purchase The seventh purchase would be on day 187, so that wouldn't fly. So, you can even take a few days to think about each purchase and still buy 6 handguns in less than 180 days legally.
