I would try to get it exponged. It will most definitley come up in your background check and you will probably have to explain the details.

Ohhh about 60 bucks or so. Haha! I was in that area anyway and had a few hours to kill between meetings so I figgured I would hit up a few stores.

Thanks guys...well, I went to Dicks in woodbridge and East Brunswick. As well as NJ Firearms Guild in Rahway. All I found was one brick of american eagle .22's @ east brunswick for $22. That was the last one they had. Everyone else had nothing. NJFIG has some real nice firearms! I saw a cheap US Survival .22 made by Henry Repeating arms (http://www.henryrepeating.com/h002_survival.cfm) pretty cool if you have a survival bag/kit. They did have ammo .45's .40's and 9mm's from what I could see. There were 7 people at the counter waiting to pay and the register was broken...I did not have time to wait or I would have picked up a few boxes. No bulk .22 which was what I was really after today. I'm not 100% sure about that ammo being in stock @ NJFIG so do not take my word for it, call first if you plan on going. Thanks again for your help.

Ahhh yes, right on the corner by the traffic light...right? I've been there before. Thanks! I have a PP thats expires next week and god forbid I let one expire and not use it!! I will have about 4 hours to kill in that area tomorow, I should be able to find something somewhere!

Congrats!!! What are you gonna get? When are you going? Did you apply for any pistol permits as well?

I will be in that area tomorrow and will have some time to kill. Any guns / ammo stores you guys know of in that area...within 20 miles or so. Thanks!

My wife does not work and she got hers with no problem about a year ago. I dont think that has any bearing on if you get it or not.

Nice Gun Max! Congrats on the new purchase! I keep two .45 caliber 8 Rd. mags one in the gun and one next to the gun. Loaded with all 8 rounds. Reguarding the spring, like rscalzo said its just a myth. I recently found my old range bag which I thought was empty but inside was a 15rd 92FS mag fully loaded for the past 8 years or so. Functions flawlessly. I agree that there is more wear and tear from the cycling of the metal then having the spring compressed.

You got it. Pretty close to 2g's. WOW....expensive! VERY nice tho!

Nice pics!!! Looks like you guys had a good day!! What is that "thing" with what looks like an AR mag and the three point sling?? Is that the FN FS2000 ?? I NEED THAT! Looks pretty neat! Expensive?

VERY nice Gun John...any issues with it thru all those rounds? I'm looking for a rimfire pistol, never had one.

I need some parts for this and I dont know where to begin due to the fact I have no idea of a model number or anything. All I can tell you is that its a Franchi. There are no other markings on it. I purchased this years ago FTF, it was a hand me down from a friend, he has an FID, I have an FID, we did the proper paperwork (certificate of eligibility). He tried to get another $15 out of me for a NICS check! haha just kidding. Anyway, he did not know anything about it, and here we are. I'm looking for a replacement recoil pad, also a bolt spring (im sure thats the wrong name for it). Any help would be appreciated, as I know noting about franchi's, but I would like to shoot this.

gotcha....I was thinking along the lines of winchester / federal 500rd bulk packs for around $22. Are those minimags expensive? I looked at them...$10.00 or so per 100 rings a bell not sure tho.

I just called dicks in freehold they laughed at me when I asked if they had a .22LR bulk packs, they just have the usual cci expensive hunting stuff. I asked about pistol ammo...40 cal is all they have! Did you guys buy it all up???

Sounds like the OP lives out of state and wants to get a NJ CCW? Judging my the "I hear YOU do this" ...Maybe I misunderstood...not sure. If thats the case, good luck...NJians cant even get a CCW permit, let alone out of state(ians). Maybe he IS talking about FL.

Thanks for the tips...I will pick up a jag and the round patches and give it a whirl and post my results. I may just go and spring for the foul-out stuff....sounds like it really works! As for the air... I have an automatic drain on the bottom of the compressors that kick on every 15 mins and stays on for 15 seconds to drain any moisture from the bottom of the tanks, I also have a ingersoll rand refrigerated air dryer (106 cfm) as well as huge quincy moisture filters at each drop point. It comes out pretty dry...my equipment does not like moisture any more than my guns!

I can do the northern NJ region (Freehold and Woodbridge)...BTW great idea Max!

heres another good bean bag video... VD7q2tWOX8Q

Yeah, they are a little pricey to use for practice. I would still like to shoot one or two, just to know what kind of recoil it produces, so I know what to expect if I ever did really have to shoot one. From what I hear they are pretty painful, and pack a nice little punch, but some people can just brush them off like they never felt it...i guess it depends on how many drugs you use that day! The way I figgure it, it takes under one second to rack the next round (#4 Buck) and be ready if the bean bag has no effect. I found this on youtube....feel free to fast forward to the 1:00 mark thats when it gets interesting. Enjoy CCQVK3JPRe4

Nice gun, definitley go with the two-tone. Just a heads up, make sure the serial number does not start with 330.... unless its already been retrofitted. http://www.downrange.tv/artman2/publish ... /160.shtml

If you are looking for some more .40 cal, dicks in Freehold has some in stock. I THINK its going for $19.99 / 50. Its not round ball, its the flat top stuff (cant think of what its called) :?

Thanks guys...I might take you up on that mitch. I never thought of flushing out the grease from where it is supposed to be. Very good point. I spray Rem-Oil on the action, trigger assembly and everything else, then hit it with some air again to try and work it into everything, and get rid of any excess. But rem-oil will certainly not replace the grease thats belongs there. Thanks again for the help! Now, how bout cleaning those .22 barrels?!?!?! Ughhhh lead sucks! I scrubbed the BBL with a bore brush, and hoppes #9 over and over and over again, and the patches were not getting any cleaner. They kept coming out gray. I even went to the point of plugging the barrel and filling it with hoppes, I let it sit over night, scrubbed it some more, and still had the same results. I love plinking, but hate the endless cleaning. I actually enjoy cleaning other guns that shoot brass, but the bulk pack lead shots are killing me. Any advice?

So, I've decided to clean my guns at work, which is licenced in my name, (as well as the building and property) so I am legally allowed to posses them there, and even carry, which I do. I have air compressors on site, do you think its a bad thing to shoot air into the trigger assembly, bolt, and other moving parts after scrubbing and shooting some gun scrubber to flush it all out? Is it possible that I am doing more dammage than good? Could I be pushing dirt farther down into it? Or perhaps risking blowing things out of proportion?

Good point Tony. Max , I was referring to Hollow Points.

Now why cant the state police website just say that??? Thank You !!!
