Well, as of noon today, the long awaited HXP .30-06 went up for sale on the CMP eStore. Price took a big jump, up to $120/240 can in boxes or $96/192 in clips With shipping its about .54/rd. Still much cheaper than the Federal ammo sold for M1 specifically. I ordered a few cans. Guess I will have to get cracking on the wholereloading thing sooner rater than later

:obscene-smokingweed: :obscene-smokingjoint: A pot or pot?

Next week the 9th for me--will bring M1 and SU-16, am jonesing for rifle time, and the next 2 weekends are no go

Is it a legislator from Ocean County? Monmouth County? Interesting how that is, perhaps the legislator in question has something against the residents of Lakewood? Racism? Religious bias? Edit: This sort of thing may also affect CJRPC John C Garand CMP Matches, as you can use the club's rifles if you dont own an M1 yourself. That should get the ANJRPC riled up, along with the membership, and some of the more vocal members.

http://www.koinlocal6.com/content/news/ ... gIQaA.cspx Seems to me like they had a legit reason to grab them, with no orange tips, am sure the buyers got them cheaper because the don't have them. But where the FAIL comes in is the claim that these things can be converted to actual weapons. I have no airsoft stuff, never used it, but I assume they are made out of cheap potted metal at best and lack any sort of functioning bolt & firing and feeding mechanisms for real cartridges. Or a barrel that will not turn to shrapnel. I'd think that if one were somehow to actually be able to get a cartridge to fire, it would be a one-time deal with the airsoft gun blowing up, rendering instant punsihment for stupidity. Anyone heard of such a thing?

I'd get one for my wife, so she can get the squirrels and chipmunks in the backyard

I'd be interested in one, if only to have around for whenever I decide to build one--

I bought a gun from Phil a year ago, it was ordered, and I was travelling a lot, so it was no big deal when it took a week or two, to me I am not even sure of the exact date it showed up. This was during the Great Obama Gun Rush, so everything was hard to come by, remember 18 mo BO's on $3000 AR's? Even now there are guns that are hard to get from distributors--Keltec SU-16CA is one, I just got an email from one place that NIB 686's are in, finally, after a 3 month wait, now the money is gone. Ah well. Perhaps it was a bad experience from BA, obviously have heard one side of it, but don't see a point in belaboring this. All parties concerned are adults, they can work it out privately. I vote to lock it up--- Just my 0.02---

Maybe the paper records are converted to electronic form (scanned) at some point. In olden tymes I would have said its microfiched. I would guess the paper copies eventually get warehoused somewhere, like the old 3m plant in Freehold, is an Iron Mountain storage facility now. It may vary PD by PD. IIRC FFLs have to keep paperwork stuff on file for a long period of time, but I think the NICs checks are supposed to be purged after a very short period of time, was that the Tiahart amendmentt? Not sure on that.

The Ft. Dix R&G club range is on the road that goes thru Cookstown to Browns Mills. From NE, head west on Main st, stay left at the Wawa, keep going past the water tower, as if you were gonna go the McGuire. Watch out for the Cookstown cops hiding behind the old barn!. Once you hit the Dix range complex, look on the left for the sign.

Too far north--sounds interssting, I notice there's no carrying the rifle on the running stages.

http://www.thecmp.org/eligibility.htm Turnaround time has been in weeks lately, from the CMP forums. Ammo is finally coming in to CMP in bits and pieces, supposed to start sales end of march, hopefully--

:text-welcomewave: Have you gone over to Ft. Dix Range 14 yet? Local for you, and cheap.

Yep, was packed, a good time had by all. My Buckmark still doesn't always lock back on an empty mag, I thought I had it narrowed down to a particular mag, no luck. All 3 I had sometimes locked sometimes not :? Argh, I will have to try some better ammo than Blazer CCI and see if that does it. Next BA,will bring long guns---

Yes, its called Bocce

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/03001/1036234-209.stm One of the races I run in is sponsored by the Seeing Eye foundation of Monmouth Cty, is at Sandy hook in the spring and fall. 5k, and the dog trainers bring their pupd to get socialized and to work on their training

Anyone? I will hopefully make it by 8PM-ish

:text-welcomewave: :violence-pistoldouble: BTW, today in 1910, John Browning filed the patent for what would become the US model 1911. I was granted 14 Feb 1911. I am waiting to see what various 1911 mfr's offer for the centennial next year.

Yeah, when I went there, they moved them from in front of the CA dorms to a parking lot near old Queens. Also used to go to Greasy Tony's. There was a naming contest for the hi-rise dorms that occupy the corner of George and Somerset (ex location of GT's among other things), before they were built, I think the best one was the Greasy Tony Memorial Student Ghetto.

I clean my guns while perusing NJGF :obscene-smokingpimp:

Last permits I picked up from Jackson about a month ago, I asked about OGAM, they said they had not had any guidance from the state about it, so I could have got more than the 2 I got. I have one left, saving it for a 686. I know there's a couple of us on here that are looking for one of these in .357, maybe we can work a deal with one of our fine forum vendors? My time frame is early to mid March.

:banana-dreads: Hi, mon

Yeah, the last couple times I have been in there there has been little ammo, I noticed.

Welcome. I just got back early this AM from the Phoenix area (Apache Jct.) was 76 degrees and sunny when Ieft there Was there for wife doing the Lost Dutchman Marathon, just for 2 1/2 days, so didn't make it to the Cabela's in Glendale, was too far away to sneak out. OTOH, we did take the kiddies to Goldfield, a touristy ghost town not too far away from where we were staying, they enjoyed it and we got the obligatory fake sepia dress up cowboy pic. FWIW I was born in Mesa, and have spent a fair amt of time over the years at Ft. Huachuca SE of Tucson, and would LOVE to move back there permanently, though probably Prescott or Flagstaff.

Yeah, I saw that awhile back, I dunno if thats true, or if its Orest's sense of humor, gently telling all those people who bug him about ammo to keep patient I hope its not more than what I paid last year, $75/can of 192 in clips & bandoleers
