Personally I think it's a smart play. He knows no Conservative in their right mind would vote for Hitlery and he has to pull in support from younger males to have a chance at winning. Will it actually work? We'll find out.

I was out in Columbus Ohio house hunting with the family last week. Beautiful place. The only downside (if you have kids) is the kids in NJ go to school from about Sept 8th to the end if June, in Ohio it's August 8th to end of May. That forces me to move my timeline up and leaves the kids with about 5 weeks of summer.

I was driving a company car once and a 12" piece of rebar dropped out of a missing slat of a walking floor trailer (hilariously it was an independent hauler who was towing a trailer owned by the company), got driven over and was launched diagonally across 2 lanes of traffic and was embedded halfway through the windshield. Fortunately I wore glasses at the time because I was hit in the face with the glass fragments that were punched out. Im just glad I didn't lose control but I was stunned at the force with which that piece of scrap was thrown.

That is pretty cool. I'm not sure if it's practical as HE said but it does remove the question of where to go for your next mag.

SGammo is definitely my go too as well and they have good pricing across the board. If you can find it cheaper somewhere else it's definitely a deal. Target Sports USA and have some good deals and I've fired thousands of rounds from freedom munitions (mostly pistol but also rifle) without an issue. SGammo lists their shipping rate for each case and Target sports has free shipping on bulk ammo (obviously it's built in but makes it easy to figure). Good luck.

I shot on a rifle team in HS in NJ back in the early 90's. There were several HS's we shot against. Shot mostly prone but we trained in kneeling and standing positions as well for when we'd road trip to shoot against military academies which were usually 3 position. Good times.

Sweet looking Nambu! How hard is it to find ammo for it?

I think it only needs to be blind pinned, not necessarily pinned and welded. I silver soldered one of mine with a MAP gas torch from Home Depot.

I used to get great deals on 9mm back when they sold ammo at the one on 22 in Springfield. Personally i cant believe anyone still sells ammo in this stupid state. I was just there last week, that store was well kept and they had lots of great staff. Amazon is definitely killing the local stores just like Home depot had managed to kill just about all of the great local hardware stores.

345Sire, there are multiple pro 2A groups that post on this forum including NJ2AS, Second Amendment Women, ANJRPC etc. There are a slew of others (hopefully someone will come along and add to this list), many of which have different ideas on how to tackle pro 2A issues in NJ. Check them out and decide which might work best for you. If you haven't tuned into Gun for Hire Radio, they do a great podcast covering 2A issues in NJ and around the country. In every community there are some 'interesting people'. Good luck.

This is interesting, like a throwback to the 50's of preparedness plans and drills. I do find it funny that the govt now wants you to be prepared, but if you are too prepared, you could be a dangerous threat.

I was looking forward to finally taking a class with Pat this year, what a travesty. Id certainly be interested to see if EAG continues. I didn't realize he was that old until you posted it the other day HE. I'd read a number of the articles he wrote, he seemed like a real character.

Because it doesnt matter what we believe, it matters what people have to defend in court from what the cops incorrectly believe. Most dont want to be the trst case. People are improperly arrested in NJ on bs gun charges regularly enough. After $10k and 30 days in jail and the loss of your livelihood, you prove that your right. Great. Small consolation really. For many on this forum, firearms are just a hobby or a guilty pleasure they'd have no problem giving up if push came to shove. I didn't say I liked it or even agreed with it, just that understood it.

I don't think the issue is whether or not it's legal, I think we all believe it is, but whether or not we want to sacrifice time and money to prove it. I have been told by certain cops that they would hassle me for having loaded magazines but I've also had cops (friends) ask me what the statutes say on hollow points because they weren't sure and didn't want to give out incorrect info. The laws here are a muddled joke. Sure it's ludicrous but I don't knock anyone for being overly paranoid in this police state.

I used to be right handed, and right eye dominant when I used to shoot as a kid. Later on I had LASIK and when I got back into shooting noticed I was now left eye dominant. I continue to shoot right handed (particularly for long guns as you mentioned) because getting left handed guns is a PITA and I can compensate with a red dot optic. Both of my kids are right eye dominant (ones a lefty) so I'm teaching them to shoot right handed from the start.

You're right, the hundreds, if not thousands of documented cases just on the dozen or so firearms forums I'm a member of where people had orders cancelled for mags, ammo and any AR related spare parts only to go immediately to the site and see them in stock at 10 times the ordered price was clearly coincidental. Even people that happened to order the day before Sandy Hook and the madness had their orders cancelled if they hadn't shipped yet. There was no conspiracy, just a willingness on the part of CTG management to fleece everyone. The forum members here are pretty low key about it honestly, I couldn't even post some of the stuff about CTG from other forums here without the risk of getting banned. Fool me once...

You spent a long time typing a response for something low on your list of things to care about. I can only imagine the novella that would accompany something you feel passionate about. The number of times I've seen something I need at ctg that's actually cheaper than I can find somewhere else has thus far been nil. Their business practices suck and while their short term profits were undoubtedly huge, their long term reputation has taken a heavy hit in the shooting community. There's no speculation there.

I bought a BCM upper with no handguard for about $400 a couple years ago with a bcg and purchased the lower and parts and assembled them. Assembling the lower only requires a few pin punches. During the Sandy hook mess that same upper was going for about $800. So if you want to go the 'partial build' and customize' route, It looks like a BCM upper by itself is about $515 now but they often offer deals during the the holidays. Memorial Day is coming.

+1 on the shirt, that's brilliant!

I heard Veprs are coming back in soon. I wish I had picked up a square back in 5.45 when I had the chance but...

Camp Allamuchy, our council is Patriots path. You can check the Allamuchy site for different events (we did maple sugaring there about a month ago, the kids loved it) and sign up for what's available as a pack. No need to be certified, they provide an instructor as part of the program. Tom Stoddard is the guy that runs the programs. https://ppcbsa.org/camping/weekend/

Just to clarify, it needs to be at one of the cub scout camps but you can shoot year round for a small fee with your pack. Our pack went a few months ago on a Saturday. They sometimes shoot at cubelos and other cub scout events as well. I just didn't want anyone to think it was only if you went to summer camp.

Now seems to be a good time to stock up, prices (except maybe for 22lr) are relatively low. Next November prices might be skyrocketing, assuming some other nutjob doesn't go full retard in the meantime. I was stunned at how quickly ammo disappeared for months after Sandy Hook, not only 22lr but also 9mm. As long as you store it well, its not like it goes bad. Everyone (including the antis) know that firearms without ammunition are just clubs. You can still mail order ammunition for now so you might as well pick up some extra when you can. That being said, I'm a fan of brass case ammo but YMMV.

OMG, that thing is awesome looking. I'm guessing it's shoots even better than it looks.

HE, you have an extensive parts bin. At the risk of derailing this thread again, how do you like the BAD lever, is it worth getting?
