You'll be OK, mine probably didn't get there till Tues. I called them & they said the got (5) buckets of mail so everybody & their bother sent for one. I don't know much about them, just the basics, that they came after the Krag &'preceded the Garamd, their caliber, etc. But I love the CMP so I can't wait. I just wish I could get an M-1 Carbine from them or anywhere but friggin' NJ won't allow it. Taxes and gun ownership, this state sucks!

$500.00 for the one i got. It was a SA and they had 3/400 ( I forget the exact amt.) so i figured my odds were best w/ getting one of those. I mailed my $/forms in Priority Mail. Afterward, i found out most people send theirs overnight mailm but i made it nonetheless. They have 218 left of the low-serial #, "S" stock, SA's left (unsafe to fire). All else went. They said that they expected to sell out most of the different models the very 1st. day. By models I mean other manufacturesrs, configurations (the "S" stock denotes a pistol grip I believe), etc.

Has anyone other than myself ordered one of the M1903 Springfield rifles that recently came into the CMP? I jumped on it as soon as I learned about it because they had lmtd. #'s. I'm excited, this w/ be my 1st. M1903. I got (2) Garands from them last year and they are beautiful.

15636215: when and where is the gun show at the end iof the month? The DAV?

IMHO this raring system is completely unnecessary. Did whomever came up w/ it and the powers that be consider that it may be at all discouraging? By that, I mean members may be reluctant to post, afraid they may receive a low score. I could care less but some may be apprehensive. I've never seen anything like this on other forums. Food for thought.

Heads up to all you dog/cat owners out there who aren't aware. WallysWorld (WalMart) came out recently w/ their flea/tick prevention equivalent to Frontline called PETARMOR PLUS. Same exact ingredients- I compared. $28.00'for a three month supply, 1/2 the price of Frontline. Frontline's patent expired according to my vet so anyone can make it. I'm using it and I believe it's working. I'm by woods and I haven't found any ticks on my shepherd. Save $ people, spend it on guns and ammo. LOL.

A big THANKS to the people who place info/trng. videos on You Tube! I recently had to clean my WASR-10, hadn't disassembled/assembled an AK in 20 yrs. and couldn't remember how. Wasn't sure where the instruction manual was and didn't feel like searching for it. No problem. You simply go onto You Tube and any number of videos w/ walk you through it. BTW, the AK is so damn easy to field strip. A couple of yrs. ago I removed the bolt assembly from one of my Schmidt-Rubin K-31's and couldn't figure out how to place it back into the rifle. Took it to BA and Smokin' Joe attempted to reinsert the assembly but couldn't figure it out. Joe is a wealth of information but unfortunately he wasn't familiar w/ this job. I took it back home, went on You Tube and BINGO! I'm sure you all are aware of this but just wanted to comment.

Jackson received the paperwork from NJSP & I picked it up so good to go!

Yes, you must give a reason. Mine was that I was, and am, a collector, and that if I would not be able to purchase the handguns in a specific time frame, they might not be available and that would adversely affect my collection. This was one of their given examples and it applied exactly to my situation.

Oh yeah, you're right, Pizza Bob! 30 Days. Dugggh on my part. Math obviously isn't one of my strong points.

Thanks for your replies, fellas. What do you know, within 1/2 hr. after my post, Lt. Schlueter called me to inform that I'd been approved, forms mailed out & my PD should have them by Wed. So, I'm happy! Looks good. A Detective w/ the State Police told me early on that the turn around time would be a couple of days, so ... That was the reason for my anxiety. I figured my paperwork became lost. But, all should be well. And, had I went the regular route w/ (3) guns, it would have taken 90 days & an extension. This way it only took 3 wks. The State Police, I'm sure are busy, so no big deal. And like I said, Lt. Schlueter was very nice & helpful. Good luck to any of you guys if you choose to file an exemption! I still have one or two permits left, are you saying one of those can be used now, regardless of these other (3) covered under the exemption? Thank you for your help!

Talk about frustration! Back in June, I filled out the SP-015 FORM, as instructed by someone in the Firearms Unit at the State Police & sent it in. The person I talked to didn't say antyhing about the SP-016. Never heard anything, finally I call the State Police & a Lt. informs of the whole procedure. So, I fill out the SP-015 again, fill out the SP-016, my portion, go to Shoreshot where 2 of the respective handguns I want to buy are & all the way to Cheyanne Mtn. (I live in Jackson, not to far but...) where the 3rd. handgun is. Had them sign their portions of the form w/ their license #'s & whatnot & have Jackson PD mail all of it into the State Police. Jackson PD in the meantime keeps (3) permits to give back once they get the approved forms back, if approved! This is 7/19 they mailed it. Found out State did get the 1st SP-015 & sent it back to Jackson pointing out that I needed the SP-016 form also. So, they at least got the 1st one, but that does me no good. So far, God only knows where the 2nd, complete one is! I've been talking w/ a Lt. there (Schlueter) & he's been very helpful, nice guy, he called & sent Jackson PD instructions on the whole procedure. I was there 1st person to apply for the exemption. But nothing. Going on a month, for Christsakes! All I can figure is my paperwork is sitting on some desk somewhere.

Has anyone seen the recent ads from Sarco for the 100 1903 A3 Springfield rifles for sale from the Pacific series? I wonder if they are any good & worth considering?

Sorry to hear about your hassle, PK90! I called the State Police & asked them how long it takes & they said it should be quick but... Obviously, if it takes a month, it's self-defeating. But like you said, hopefully mine w/ be faster.

I downloaded the exemption to one a month handgun purchase application recently from the State Police website, filled it out &, as required, gave it to my local PD to forward it to the State Police for their (hopeful) approval. Then, as I was told, they will send it back to my local PD so that I will be able to purchase the (3) handguns listed without having to wait. This was new to my PD (Jackson Township). So, we'll see how it works out. Has anyone else utilized this exemption? I found out about it from Cheyanne Mtn. Outfitters awhile back because a nice lady their who I deal w/ informed me of it.

BTW, I asked him if he does Transfers & he didn't give an emphatic "NO" but said he doesn't like to, so... , just for your info. Crochety, yes, and very opinionated to the extent that you don't want to get him going. But what the hell, he's earned it, he's a Vietnam Vet & like previously mentioned, a local.

Pizza Bob: Beautiful Rifle!

Thank-you Greydaddy & John Fox, I appreciate it!

Thanks!

If someone would be so kind as to take a couple of minutes to look up a price for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. It would be for a Colt SAA revolver, NIB, 2nd. Gen., made in 1973-so late 2nd. gen., 7 1/2 " barrel, .45LC w/ orig. stagecoach box. Thanks alot!

Does N.J. require that dealers see your Firearm I.D. Card prior to selling you ammo & make a record of the transaction?

Does anyone know if this semi-auto version of the Scorpion machine pistol, put out by CZ recently, is NJ legal? Obviously the 30 rd. mags it comes w/ are not legal in NJ but what about the gun itself? Thanks.

Typo, should have been MY experience, not ME experience! Pls. overlook.

Just wanted to comment on me recent dealing w/ Sarco's. I had read about certain parties' problems w/ them, e.g.," Bait & Switch", etc. Well, I had a very positive experience w/ them. I had (2) handguns on layaway, Rock Island Armorys, both, a Tactical 1911 & another 1911 in .38 Super. Dealt w/ a gentleman named Kyle on the phone several times while having them on layaway. Kyle was allways pleasant and helpful! I called before driving 1&1/2 hrs. to pick them up to clarify that their advertised prices were not just for dealers & he assured me they weren't. Everything went smooth when I got there, Kyle was great, transaction went well, got guns, I'm happy!

Thanks everone! I'm gonna get one, supposedly a good piece & the ammo is pretty cheap. W/ have to mail order the ammo, I don't think any shops carry it, oh well. One reviewer I was reading about claimed the gun was 1/10 the price of a Walther PPK & 10 times the gun. That's good enough for me. It w/ be awhile, I just put in for more permits. I'll let you know in a couple months, hopefully.
