I'll take it. @rps944 I'll PM you my cell # and we can take it from there.

Thanks @Brisco - I had also heard about them previously but wasn't remembering them. I'll pass them on.

Worked fine for ~5 years until recently.

Gun already has an aftermarket slide which is lighter than stock, don't think friction is the issue: https://www.cwaccessories.com/ Again, any recommendations for a gunsmith?

Back to the original question: I have one, have had it for a couple of years. I like it, I don't regret buying it, and I have fun shooting it. Come out to a shotgun shoot and you'll likely see me shooting clays with it. It is *NOT* my choice for a HD weapon. Yes, it's compact and light, yes it's got impressive ammo capacity (14 rds if using "normal" shells, 20+ if using mini shells). There's a downside to each of those attributes. Because it's so short, the muzzle end is essentially even with your support hand at the end of the pump motion. That's dangerous. You have to ensure you have a SOLID forward grip or loop. You can find stories of people shooting their support hand accidentally with the KSG. Because it's light, perceived recoil is much stouter. I tried some turkey loads in it once. ONCE. Not pleasant. Depending on your body mass you may find that 00 buckshot rings your bell considerably more than a larger shotgun. 14 shotshell capacity is a lot, but it comes with the price of multiple magazine tube administration. There are 2 separate magazine tubes. You have to switch between them. If you run one tube dry, you have to switch to the other tube *BEFORE* you eject the last shell from the first tube, or else you're going to get a "click" the next time you pull the trigger. If (heaven forbid) you get into a situation where you have to fire more than 7 rounds under duress are you going to remember to hit that tube switch immediately after firing, and before ejecting, round #7? Oh BTW, that magazine tube switch has a "neutral" position that doesn't allow *EITHER* of the tubes to dispense shells. Yup, you guessed it, the neutral position is in the middle of the left and right tube positions. Hope the switch doesn't ever get set there accidentally when you don't want it to be. The ejection port and the magazine tube heads are in the same space at the bottom of the gun. It is quite difficult to load a shell into a tube while keeping the gun in a firing posture; to do so, you not only have to push a shell upwards into the bottom of the gun at an awkward vertical angle, but you also have to angle it horizontally to the left or right to go into the correct tube (unless you ran both tubes empty). Do you remember which tube you were firing from? Got to load to that same tube... I've given up trying to load the KSG while shouldered - I flip it upside down to load it, and loading is much slower compared to a conventional shotgun. Another annoyance is the shell keepers at the mouth of each magazine tube - they have a sharp corner that tends to catch and grab the fabric of glove fingers when I wear gloves.

Depending on the ammo type used, YES: https://how-i-did-it.org/drywall/results.html Winchester Ranger 64g Power-Point (Soft point .223 ammo): Penetrated 1st "wall" of drywall, 2nd wall of drywall had fragments embedded but no total penetration, 3rd wall of drywall untouched Winchester 12-Gauge 00 Buckshot: Penetrated all 3 "walls" of drywall

Jack agrees with something! OMG, this is the apocalypse!

Looking for a recommendation for a gunsmith in/near Monmouth County for a friend. They have a GSG 1911 .22LR pistol which previously worked well but now has a lot of failures to feed/go into battery. They've cleaned it rigorously with no luck. They don't have the patience/temperament to try to diagnose the issue themselves.

Well, you can get started with the front grip at least, which gets you mount points for a light: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Magpul-MAG496-BLK-Remington-870-Shotgun-M-LOK-Forend-Black/153549705473

They’ve been a good friend to NJGF in the past, but alas I probably won’t be doing any transfers there now.

You call that a stockpile?

I need to get title transferred to me for a used car I recently purchased. @Sota - where is the hold up on title transfers? Are they simply not doing them now?

*NEW JERSEY* NICS is slow, because the 2 NJSP officers (or whatever small number are assigned to it) are overloaded at times. *National* NICS is still near instant - if random33 goes out of state to get a NICS check, it will likely go through quickly.

If the seller at the out-of-state gun show is an FFL and is willing to do a transfer according to the regulations of both the state the show is in and New Jersey's then you can take possession of the AR right there (bring a rifle case with you to the show and take the rifle home in the case, fastened close). Otherwise, the seller (either FFL or not) can ship the rifle to a NJ FFL and the NJ FFL can do the transfer to you. If you're going to go that route (have seller ship rifle to NJ FFL), why not just order from an online firearms retailer and have them ship to a NJ FFL and save yourself the trip to the gun show?

I wish they could all rally in the Navesink just offshore of Murphy's place:

YMMV depending on store, but many Lowe's are having a clearance on Surefire CR123 batteries: 2 pack $1.98 at Eatontown Lowe's (Limit 15): https://www.lowes.com/pd/SureFire-CR123A-Lithium-23A-Flashlight-Batteries/1054377 12 pack $13.46 at Eatontown Lowe's (Unsure if quantity limit): https://www.lowes.com/pd/SureFire-CR123A-Lithium-23A-Flashlight-Batteries/1000184255

That's how the attorney from Nappen's office that I talked to sees it.

Dave, I'll take the Oct barrel. I'll text you, I think I still have your # from last time we transacted.

Welcome @EOD-ONE. You'll be asked momentarily to identify by name a common NJ ham product that is typically served sliced.

Murphy is known to patronize a Middletown restaurant. Somebody(ies) "swat" the restaurant by calling in complaints that 50% of the walls of the restaurant aren't open and therefore they are allowing "indoor dining". Police arrive in the middle of Murphy's meal during one of their investigations. https://www.nj.com/news/2020/08/one-of-murphys-favorite-restaurants-accused-of-allowing-indoor-dining.html

When assholes collide... What the cops did was wrong, however Mr. Mignoli is a well-known and despised crank in town. He's pissed tons of people off besides the police and is banned from several local businesses. I doubt anyone sympathizes with him. He's been playing the police victim card big time by parking his jeep all over town:
