  1. Ok, got back a few minutes ago. They had the following: -9mm: a TON of Blazer and a few boxes of Win White Box (5 boxes). Both are 14.99. -40 S&W: Some Win White Box for 27.99 and some Blazer, I think the same price. -45: A TON of .45.... mostly Blazer, I want to say 19.99. Some Win White 100 round value packs. those were 40 bucks. -. 380: a few tucked away on the bottom shelf, left side in the cages. 27.99. Sorry for the spotty report, I really should've written this down. Ya live, ya learn
  2. I only live a few minutes away. I'll try to stop in after my "errands :shock: ". If I do, I'll post what I see, anybody want me to scout for anything specific?
  3. Can't go wrong with .75, run a patched .69 ball and you'll be doing fine
  4. Yes sir ya can. Sometimes FFg, I prefer the FFFg though. You have to remember, the technology that made the .75 Brown Bess pre-dates the F&I War AND the American Revolution. The powder they had back then and ran through their muskets makes our stuff look like gold.
  5. I know it's a little smaller than what you are looking for, but I have built this http://wayneofthewoods.com/gunrack.html . I used red oak and it came out pretty handsome if I do say so myself
  6. blackpowder is fun... but the cleaning isn't. I have a .75 Brown Bess flintlock and I run FFFg GOEX through it, and after a day of fun... the work begins. Just a thought
  7. From top to bottom: - Brown Bess .75 flintlock - 1942 Izhevsk, Mosin 91/30 - Marlin .30/30 "Saddle Gun" - Mossberg Mav 12ga -NEF Pardner Pump 20ga -Savage 10FP .308 -Bushy XM-15 ORC -SIG Sauer P226 9mm

    A few inches here and there. Essentially the same. I like the 226 based on the feel in my hand and the size of it. But my mentor, (Sgt. with the VA State Police) swears by the 229 in .357 SIG. All personal pref.
  9. sparny524 replied to sparny524's topic in Handguns
    Currently, they are assembled here in the USA, but some guns like the 229 have their frames built here. But most are built by Sauer in the Fatherland. Confusing, I know. Kind of like buying a Japanese car that is ASSEMBLED in Ohio, but the transmission and engine are fabricated in Japan and then shipped to Ohio. Hope that answers your question

    thanks man! It'll be ready to rock and roll for HD if need be, but it's not my first "go to". I'll most likely get a light for it, and might do Crimson Trace grips for a laser. This will be my open carry and winter CC gun for when I'm back down at school in VA.
  11. Dick's in Freehold today. ALOT of 9mm- $14.99 for Blazer & Win WB. $29.99 for Win WB 100 round Value pack. Good Amount of .45- $19.99 a box, can't recall brand at the moment. Some .40 - Whatever was in the case is what they had (maybe 9 left?)- $19.99, still can't recall the brand. There is a 5 box maximum on ammo purchases though :roll:

    Oh, come on now... you're making me feel bad l :oops: lol. To quote the "Godfather"... 'It's not personal, it's simply business'. Plus, I have purchased numerous firearms from Harry's/Cheyenne and always check their first for what I want.
  13. sparny524 replied to sparny524's topic in Handguns
    Thanks hotshot! With the sale price, the gun came out to $750 before tax. out the door was $804.... not bad for a brand new P226. I did some research and the average for NJ is anywhere from $790 to $850 before tax.
  14. sparny524 replied to sparny524's topic in Handguns
    No debates yet... sure to come though lol. I personally wanted the rail, and I'm pretty sure it is standard now on the 226... not even sure if you can still get it without one. To answer your other question, she came with one 15 round mag, wish it came with more cause those mags can get preetty expensive.
  15. Anyone have/read this book? I heard it was like the Bible for all things AR, wanted to see if it's worth dropping the 30-some-odd bucks on it...
  16. sparny524 posted a topic in Handguns
    Finally bought myself gun #3 on my wishlist.... brand new SIG 226 in 9mm. I fell in love with this gun a few years ago after my friend let me borrow his, feels like it was custom made for me. Got her at Cheyenne Mtn. the other day, great 10% off sale! Now all I need to do is find some 9mm ammo and put some holes in paper!
  17. Hey guys, just a shout out to a good book. It's called "Unleash the Warrior Within" by Richard "Mack" Machowicz. Yes, the bald guy with the Clint Eastwood-esque voice from FutureWeapons (Discovery Chnl.) It pretty much is straight talk on how to accomplish goals the way a SEAL would, calculated and calm. I'm not much into "Self Help" books (more of a pride issue haha) but this one is worth the 15 bucks. It's an easy read and truly applies to everyone because we all have goals and visions. Plus he includes cool stories from his experiences in BUD/s and other times where he F'd up in life. PS- read "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Lutrell either before or after you read this. Alot of connections can be made to understand how truly awesome the SEAL community is.
  18. Dude, LAPG is the best. I order all my stuff for work from them and they never let me down. Great brands (5.11, Blackhawk!) and even the 'off brand' stuff holds up well.
  19. I use my 5.11 gun case. Doubles as a range bag and case, tons of pockets and straps and other little features that make 5.11 great. I got a deal on it too on LA Police Gear
  20. Anybody have one? Any reviews? I am interested in the Taurus 85 series (.38, snub-nose) for a CC gun. I was watching a review on youtube (video by Nutnfancy... he posts some great reviews) and aside from having a gritty trigger and a larger than usual cylinder, it matches the S&W in all aspects, except on price. Any advice would be appreciated!
  21. Thats what I thought when I purchased my AR, so I opted for a totally flat-top model and added a flip up front sight and my beloved EOtech. It works great!
  22. When saying "Big Boy" rules, I am talking about freedom. Freedom from the range-master standing over your shoulder, freedom from being told "only 3 rounds in the magazine" (had this told to me somewhere else), and the range-master giving you dirty looks if you double tap or use an accelerated rate of fire. Thats what I mean by Big Boy rules, being able to be treated as an adult, if they see that you operate like an adult.
  23. the remy 700 is the classic .308 but if your looking for something more "tac"....go with the Savage 10FP. I was in the market for a .308 a few years ago and it came down to the Rem 700 PSS and the Savage 10FP...and I went with the savage based on feel, reputation, and price. the 26in heavy free float barrel, AccuTrigger (adjustable to lb/pull pref.), and the oversized bolt knob were the selling points for me. Get urself a bipod and some nice glass and you have yourself a tack driver. The one thing I would do is get a replacement stock if you get the "bare bones" model. Choate and HS Precision make some nice ones. Good luck and keep me posted!
  24. BA is my favorite place to shoot in NJ. Really relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly staff... just a great place to shoot. I also feel that if they see that you are a safe and proficient operator... you have the benefit of "big-boy" rules. Can't say enough good things about them.
  25. Ya i figured as much, on hold for 30 minutes..... and then told to go online haha. And yes I do travel quite often. I spend most of the year in VA for school. Most of my friends are from VA, NC, FL etc. and I go home with them quite often. Plus, my sister lives in PA so i'm there more than twice a month. The CCW would be put to good use
