They are having a sale, no sales tax on any gun purchase. Just bought something at Rahway, nice deal. It was below MSRP to begin with, so they are pricing better than they used to. The have a Barrett 82A1, with a Leupold scope and rings, for $9350. Very nice, and a very good price. No tax today would save you about $650...

I live very close to Heritage Guild in Rahway (fka NJ Firearms Guild), and used to buy a lot of guns there, but haven't in a few years. Stopped in this morning to see what they had, and they had what I wanted, at a reasonable amount off MSRP, so I bought it. Also, they are having a sale this weekend, no sales tax on any guns (so, basically 7% off).

I'm now an official NRA recruiter. For those who didn't know, NRA recruiters get a commission on any new memberships or renewals. Here's the twist: all commissions I receive from being an NRA Recruiter will be donated directly to the Patriots Path Council, Boy Scouts of America. I will periodically report in this thread how much money we've raised for Boy Scouting in NJ. You can either send me a check in the mail, paypal me the money (discreted noted), or email me your CC number and I'll put that on the form. I need your name, address, phone, email and birthdate for the NRA membership form. If a renewal, your NRA ID #. SPECIAL OFFER: One Year NRA Membership for $25. You can email me directly at david (at) peelthefrog (dot) com. -Dave

Not useless at all. Was thinking about going there this afternoon, and this convinces me.

Looking for a new or slightly used 18" 12ga 870 tomorrow. Any ideas as to a good store to buy one from in the northern half of NJ? I guess I could drive out to Cabela's if necessary...

If you are referring to PMC, that's top notch ammo. Also, G19 Gen 4's pretty much jam up themselves. Have you replaced all the parts Glock is telling PD's to replace?

I've heard a lot of horror stories about them, but I have to say that I used to order from them all the time, and never had any problems. I used to buy cases of Lithium A321 batteries from them at insanely low prices all the time, along with 5.11 stuff, etc. However, a lot of people seem to have problems. They did post an apology on their website about it at one point.

Sold out with one in my cart, which then disappeared....

Sabattis Adventure Camp in Long Lake, NY needs a Shooting Sports Director for this summer. The camp runs 6/28 through 8/4. Room and board is provided, competitive compensation. You must be 21 years or older, and either be certified through the BSA National Camp School Shooting Sports Section, or be an NRA Range Safety Officer. ---- This is a camp I attend every summer as a leader, although I'll be out all week on a canoe trek this summer. They have a standard BSA 22LR program for the rifle merit badge, a clays range for the shotgun merit badge, and an archery range. There is also a 30-06 program for venture crews. If you want more information let me know. If I was a public school teacher (or unemployed), this is absolutely what I would do with my Summer! -Dave

Made out of real Jack Russell Terriers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zH5jRHkXXQ

I mostly laugh at people who are shooting rifles at the 25yard indoor range. On a sunny weekend day? Seriously?

We're trying a big social media push between 2pm and 7pm today. I'm not asking you for donations, but it would be great if you could post this link on your Facebook timeline or other forums/social media things you use! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/haul-out-the-sea-dart-ii/x/6710405 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/haul-out-the-sea-dart-ii/x/6710405

[ Comment removed. No reason for this to be here now. ]

Almost up to $5K! Let's get the 2A community involved!

They don't get them now in SPF.

We're up to $3700 with 27 funders. If you are on FB or any forums that might be interested, would share this link with your friends? Getting shares and likes is the best way to get the message widely distributed. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/haul-out-the-sea-dart-ii/x/6710405

Thanks guys.

Casually meaning people casually swing their guns around. I was there once, got swept about 50 times, and my fellow patrons frightened me...

You live in Paterson and went to SS? Wow. Do you know about the Woodland Park Range, right in the town next to you? In my opinion, vastly superior in every way, cleaner, lighter, friendlier, etc. And probably 10 minutes from you...

I'm driving from Fanwood to GunForHire a few times a week, and also still actively doing events at Monmouth County. Bowling pin shoot this Saturday, although I have a scouting event that I have to attend instead.

Sea Cadets are a little different; they are actually a USN organization, and really a junior NROTC. Sea Scouts are part of the venturing/exploring part of Boy Scouts. It's open the men and women 14 to 21 years old. The program is a little bit less military-oriented, and a little more merchant seaman oriented. For example, our Skipper (like a Scoutmaster) is a young (mid-30's) guy who is just finishing up his full Unlimited Master certification; he drives the super giant container ships, which is pretty cool. They still do some drilling, and wear uniforms, etc. It's a good program. I'm happy our campaign is up to $875 after the first 3 days.

The Sea Scouts is a special division of the Boy Scouts of America, dedicated to teaching young men and women seamanship, but also the values of the Boy Scouts of America. We are lucky to have several Sea Scout ships active in NJ, although they are a small fraction of the number operating 20-30 years ago. I am an adult leader for Sea Scout Ship 228, chartered in Rahway and operating out of our Seabase in Linden (on Tremley Point Rd). Our main vessel is a 61' former US Army T-Boat, built in 1953. The scouts take the Sea Dart II out most of the year, for frequent weekend training trips, and also the summer "long cruise" where the scouts and leaders take the boat out for 10 days! At the same time, they follow an advancement plan that leads them to the Quartermaster Award. The Quartermaster Award is the equivalent of Eagle (and from my significant experience, much harder to attain). Since scouts can stay in Sea Scouting until they are 21, many scouts earn their Eagle and then continue in Sea Scouting during college. The Sea Dart II is in trouble. Although the Indiegogo campaign is less specific, we have a patched a hole in the steel hull. It's safe enough, but will be an issue during the annual Coast Guard inspection, and we won't take the long cruise with the current patch. Additionally, our starboard diesel generator has a cracked head, and the fresh water pump on the Buda Lanova diesel engine needs major repairs. All of this came unexpectedly. We usually plan haul outs every 2-3 years, but this year's is unplanned. We need to get the ship out of the water, fix the hole, gauge the whole hull to make sure there aren't any other thin spots, repair the generator and the fresh water pump. We have started an Indiegogo campaign to raise the $10-$12,000 necessary. If you can donate to help Sea Scouting in NJ remain strong, that will be great. As important, if you could pass the link around to anyone you feel might support Scouting, the Sea Scouts, or young people learning seamanship it would be greatly appreciated. Your donations are tax deducible, and you will get a receipt from the Indiegogo processor showing the tax deductibility. Funds are being collected by The Sea Dart II, Inc. This is a non-profit 501c3 organization whose sole purpose is to support Ship 228 and the Sea Dart II. Here is the campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/haul-out-the-sea-dart-ii We all have a lot to complain about in NJ, but this is an activity for our youth of which we can all be very proud! -Dave

I don't think you wrote where? (oops nevermind, saw "Sayreville Sportsman" in a little tag under the title.)

I can't find a great holster for my Beretta M9A1. I've bought two over the years, a Safariland 5187 and most recently a Galco Combat Master CM202B. In both cases, they are so tight that it's hard to get the gun out, and hard to put the gun in. I've tried softening the leather, storing the gun in the holster for months, etc. and I'm not happy. The problem is that most holsters are made for the 92FS, etc, and don't correctly fit the rail on the M9A1. Does anyone have a suggestion? Would the Safariland 6390 fit correctly? I guess I'm mostly hoping that someone here has an M9 and has a holster they love and use for competition, etc. -Dave

I shot there from 5:30pm to 6:30pm tonight, and it was great. Only about 6 ports full at the most, although the whole place had a lot of people moving around and things happening. Taking my NRA Pistol Instructor course on Sunday, so I'll be there a looooong time....
