I have a Timney trigger on both my Colt AR-15 and my DPMS LR-308 (aka AR-10). I think they are great. Very easy to install in both cases. -Melg

They aren't banned. Only certain models with certain writing on them, if you can believe that. I compete with a Colt "Match Target HBAR" which is a Colt AR-15 with a different name on it. Completely NJ compliant, purchased at the Bullet Hole actually, but I've seen them in most better stores. -Melg

Oops. Never mind. I think "gun show" I think PA. Sorry.

Cherry Ridge.

Actually, he did worse that than. He transferred to him a lower receiver which is currently classified in PA as a handgun! Lower receivers are only sold as handguns now in PA, and some (smarter? more careful? more paranoid?) dealers won't sell AR-15 rifles as rifles since they contain a part which is classified as a handgun when sold separately....

I have had great success with the Kimber Tactical magazines.

That is backwards! The first table refused to sell you parts that weren't a gun, but the second guy would sell you the gun? The lower receiver is the gun!

Actually, preventing a national ID card is more of a conservative cause. A national ID card, mandatory papers, etc, is exactly what living in a free country is supposed to prevent. Fighting for our privacy, or at least having the federal govt not in every tiny corner of our lives is a patriotic cause, not a rep or dem issue. I remember the debates about these proposals, and I believe there was pretty good agreement across the aisles. If anything, republicans did the right thing and voted more against it...

I have a house in Skytop, PA, which is only about 20 minutes from Stroudsburg, so sometime during weekends out there I try to make it to Dunk's. They had an M1 Garand for $495 in the used rack when I was there. Wood was a little loose, but action seemed OK. Potentially a good deal, but I have a very nice one so didn't need another.

They also had plenty of powder at $29.95 a pound. Geesh.

Cheyenne has a "powder safe" in their back room, and they sometimes have some powder that you might want. They usually mostly have 1lb of each of several less popular powders, and very little of the most popular. If you want IMR4895, IMR3031, Varget, H335, etc, you should definitely call first. The place down the road clearly used to be a big reloading place, with 5 or 6 example presses setup, shelf space for a ton of dies and bullets, but almost nothing left for months, and I think they're not trying to restock. Dunkelbergers in Stroudsburg had everthing I needed a week ago, including bullets, powder, primers and even an extra die set I needed.

Not any perceptible difference, including chrono numbers. THe people who notice the difference are the BR shooters, who only have a 0.1" group at 300 yds, but everything matters to those guys.

Microsoft Team Net? Microsoft Turner Network? :?:

I just got 5K SR and 5K LR Wolf primers from Wideners, so after this I will set for rifle for a while. Interestingly, Wolf primers are supposed to be of the highest quality. I read an analysis in a Benchrest Shooting magazine that had very good quantitative things to say about them. On the other hand, most of my loads have been established with CCI, so it's good to have them.

Still in stock at 1:30pm. Just ordered 5K.

Have any of you been to a benchrest match at Cherry Ridge? If so, can you describe? I am surprised it is being held on the 100yrd range. Most benchrest matches seem to be on 300-600yrd ranges. At 100yrds, it has to be all 10's, just decided by the number of X's, right?

OOps, didn't see this was a duplicate of another thread in this forum. Maksim, you can move it to that thread or let it sit.

At last month's membership meeting of the MCR&PC, our president presented a proposal that had been sent to him for comments by the NJ State Police. The NJSP were looking for comments from rifle and pistol clubs on a new FID card. (As with all rifle and pistol clubs, a tremendous number of members are active or retired LEO, and apparently have a good NJSP relationship). This would be a hard laminated card, like a driver's license. It would be good for 5 years, at a cost of (I think it was) $25 or $50 bucks. During that time, you would not need additional paperwork like pistol purchase permits. Your data would be kept up to date (somehow). With gun a month that would be tracked somehow. The dealer would just submit that data when processing a purchase, and it would be approved or denied. So, good things were that it would be not flimsy like current FID cards, and would remove the need for additional permits. The bad side is that it would be more expensive, you'd have to buy a new one (and possibly go through a whole new application process) every 5 years. There wasn't any indication that this was a done deal, but our president indicated that usually by the time the NJSP gets around to asking for comments by rifle and pistol clubs, it's getting close to being done.

You can buy these "over the counter" at Cabela's in Hamburg, PA, no paperwork required. I may or may not know people who live in NJ who may or may not have done this. Are they actually breaking the law? I don't think these guns are guns in NYC (witness the brouhaha over the black powder gun recently in the press), and I don't think they are guns in NJ. Can someone show actual law proving or disproving this?

I think the only common problem is lack of 15-round or smaller magazines. Some bullpup rifles don't appear to have these easily available.

None of the dozen different size and shape cases of White Flyers I have say it on the box, nor do they in the stores I've checked in the last few days, but that could just be coincidence.

Cherry Ridge requires biodegradable clays. I've never seen them in any store; anyone have a source?

The M1903A's also have new barrels, the Mosin's have barrels of unknown quality and shape.

They are slightly curved.

Not only terrible pictures, but completely incomprehensible English. Want someone to spend $5000, make the description clear and compelling, make the pictures in focus, at least....
