OK, added Makepeace Lake WMA, and put a question mark on Schuetzen Park. If anyone else can give me a google map address or GPS coord for other WMA's with ranges, I'll add them. That's one of the big missing pieces right now. http://www.njgunmap.com

The Lake City surplus is good ammo. Much more accurate than almost any commercial ammo I have tested, and also much hotter. I chrono'd several boxes, and got close to 3200fps, which is must faster than my very fast reloads and very much faster than any other commercial ammo. Easily identifiable by the 10 rounds per stripper clip, in cardboard sleeves of 3 clips.

Ever buy a gun there? You have to fill out a separate "government form" which is submitted to NYC. All purchases in the gun department are videotaped for NYC enforcement purposes. NYC press release: http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.c0935b9a57bb4ef3daf2f1c701c789a0/index.jsp?pageID=mayor_press_release&catID=1194&doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fom%2Fhtml%2F2006b%2Fpr428-06.html&cc=unused1978&rc=1194&ndi=1 And key quote from this press release: The staff is required to not tell customers about this, and will not tell you what the additional government form is for. The other gun stores in the same town mysteriously do not require this same form. Here is the court ruling on the settlement: http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2006/08/bloomberg_offer.php Here is the original complaint, hosted on our favorite website, Mayors Against Illegal Guns: http://www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org/downloads/pdf/complaint.pdf There is a lot of discussion on this on the various PA firearms-related forums, but these are more official links and quotes. Here's a sample (but use the more official links above for more certain info): http://forum.pafoa.org/shops-20/17620-dunklebergers-stroudsburg.html -Dave

I haven't actually done a Guns for Hire training course, but anyone on this site who has taken one has done nothing but rave. Having Anthony on the board is a big advantage. I hope to take RSO training with them soon...

It is all working for me right now, so I suspect it is something between your PC and Yahoo's servers.

At this point, most places I go have primers available for $34 or less. Of course, at Dunkelbergers your purchases are recorded, videotaped, and the records are sent to the NYPD. That's why they are getting nearly boycotted by the PA gun guys these days....

OK, have a great time. Your assignment is to find out, without a doubt, whether or not they allow 50BMGs. If they do, I'll let you know when I'm heading down and you can give it a shot..... -Dave

The regular used long guns are on racks outside the "gun library." Take 'em off the rack yourself, check them out. The gun library has the better used guns, super expensive rare items, very nice trap guns, etc. Always nice to browse, and some of them are not that expensive. Last Saturday they had just about every primer you wanted. They had at least 30 boxes of CCI small rifle primers in a giant stack, plus at least a box or two of every other kind, including benchrest primers and 50BMG primers. In my experience, if they have 1-2 boxes of a primer on the shelf, they usually have a bunch more behind the counter at the rifle area, and they just put them out piece at a time. -Dave

22LR handguns.

You could have picked it up at their Hamburg, PA store this past weekend. I haven't seen their ammo shelves that full in a very long time. Mostly at acceptable prices. Only bought Winchester Wildcat 22's, which work very well in all my 22's. $21.99, or $22.99 with the comemorative wooden box, which I like.

I was at Cabela's on Saturday AM. I picked up a number of things which were much cheaper online than in the store. I had printouts of the website, showed them to the cashier, he called over a manager and she overrode the prices without any issue or discussion. 500 primers for 50BMG were $179 in the store, $119 online! H50 powder for 50BMG was $24.95 in the store, $21.95 online! Now I'm going to have to study the website before I go out there....

Were you able to find out if they allow 50 BMG? TIA

http://www.volksfest.org/PVV_events.htm Still listed on the events page... Yeah, but that's from 2005....says the competition will be held in the "Senator Lounge" - anyone know anything?

[*:qsuqs8sc]I added Bayonne Pistol range. [*:qsuqs8sc]njfirearms.com does not have an address shown - please provide an address? [*:qsuqs8sc]I am not sure I believe Schuetzen Park RR still exists...

What is the name of this WMA? Can't quite tell...

Both added.

It is on our map? http://www.njgunmap.com

They are already on the map, and also their shooting school in Sparta.

I have a very nice, nearly-new H&K SL8-6 listed for sale in the marketplace forum. There are very few, if any, new SL8's available any more. I do not believe there are any in stores in NJ. -Dave

I'm not so interested in shooting at least 200m, so no problem there. Is your local range a range in NJ that allows new members?

If something is on sale on the web, and not in the store (which I believe is sometimes the case), will the Cabela's store in Hamburg match their online price? Thanks, Dave

This is not a normal dent. I thought it was going to be the little dimples that you often see on the shoulder, not this terrible monstrosity. This looks like a serious manufacturing defect. It doesn't look like a reloading defect; it's much worse than that....

The Range 14 website appears to be down right now, but discussion on other boards seems to indicate that they banned .50+ Cal centerfire rifles sometime in 2008....can anyone confirm or deny?

Aha! Time to finally join Fort Dix!
