Sigman

Crossman Pellet Rifle around 1971 Remington Wingmaster 870, 1982 Still have both of them.

I haven't heard that you shouldn't dump powder back into the original container. I always empty it back with no problems. I do this because I don't want any moisture getting into the powder. I don't know how easily this can happen, but I'm cautious with powder. I seal the containers tight and wrap packing tape around the lids on larger containers (4 & 8 lbs) while storing. I use 1 lb containers for "in use" powders. I also make sure the powder measure is completely empty so that nothing mixes when switching powders. I have a dehumidifier running in the basement at all times, so it keeps humidity on the low end.

Isn't it amazing that NJ can create its own rules as they see fit? I guess there's no law for the lawmakers.

I've been looking for certain model Sig's and H&K's and they are very scarce. The models I was looking for are currently 3 to 6 month wait. I've been told by different gun dealers that the H&K's are harder to get. Last year at this time he had about 7 in his case, a couple of weeks ago he had 2. This is also going to keep prices at a premium for high end guns.

Do you like G96 Gun Treatment better than Ballistol for a bore cleaner? If so, I'll check it out. Thanks

I would suggest getting as far from Newark as possible. In any direction even if it means driving 45 min. to work. Stolen vehicles has become the hot item and it's only going to get worse. I'm more familiar up north and like the Sussex county area. I live in Morris county bordering Passaic county. I commuted to NY, so an hour drive for me is fine. It's well worth the drive not having to deal with city life. No offense to the people in that area. I grew up close to Newark and would not live in that area again.

I have a 981T. It's a nice shooter. Good luck with yours!

I shoot it through a WASR 10 with no problems, but I don't shoot it through my AR. I reload .223, but the PMC ammo was good in the past.

It's a shame that in NJ we are not allowed to protect ourselves or property outside of our homes. It's even questionable what right's we have inside of our homes. My mom lives in a nice suburb close to Newark. The BG's routinely drive around looking for cars to steal because they have no worries about confrontation. There was an attempted break-in twice on my moms car. They broke the window on a neighbor's car and tried to steal his. There was a home invasion up the street and various other cars have been stolen or attempts were made. At least she has the house secured with an alarm and a driveway on the side of the house to park the car. This stuff didn't happen 20 years ago in my neighborhood and it's gotten worse in the past few years. Unfortunately, our politicians and law makers don't need to worry about this since they live in gated communities or secured area's where these things don't happen. Oh..and Bill O'Reilly was making some pro gun and the right to protect yourself comments last night. Good for him.

Corruption within state and wasteful spending, social programs, retirement payouts, the list goes on and on. We live in a state where "if it's for free, it's for me."

NJ is broke. They'll use any method to collect revenue. Legalized theft.

This is all that MSNBC will report, only the bad with guns. I don't post anything related to gun violence. It only helps their agenda.

I use Ballistol to clean everything and like it more than Hoppes. Another good one is Kroil, but I like Ballistol a little bit more. Try it out.

I reload .223. The only thing I do different from pistol is trim the rifle cases and deburr the edge. You'll find with the 5.56 cases (mil spec ammo) that the primers are crimped. I use a deburring tool and hit the primer pocket with a couple of twists so I can fit the primer. You don't need to take much off. Just enough to fit the primer. Some people don't like this method and say it weakens the case. I've had no problems so far shooting moderate strength. There are tools made to ream the pocket, but I haven't found a need. .223 or 5.56 is relatively cheap when bought in bulk, so the price savings won't be that great. You need to bulk buy the reloading components to save more. At least you'll be able to make your own In the event of an ammo shortage.

I saw a Remington R1 in Meltzers the other day and a few other sweet 45's including a Colt and a Sig C3. I really liked the Sig. They don't have a huge selection, but I always see a gun I really like.

Cool Hand Luke & Pulp Fiction

I bought impact driver sockets about 15 yrs ago. They're still in perfect condition. I don't use them often, but for what I paid they work out great.

We had an old fridge that had a similar problem and it was the timer assembly. I think the timer assembly is what controls the defrost cycle. Maybe it's not coming out of defrost? You should hear the compressor kick in at some point in the cool cycle. Maybe the buzz you hear is a relay trying to kick on the compressor? Maybe bad relay? I'm no expert, but just a couple of idea's for you if everything is clean.

I think I saw this gun in .40 S&W at Bullet Hole a couple of days ago if anyone's interested. BTW - Sig's are sweet shooter's in .40 S&W.

Yuk! - what a way to ruin a classic.

+1 to that! This is how the libs try to divide us. We have enough problems of our own in NJ, why go on about nonsense that has no bearing on us.

-1 for what? I wasn't referring to your thread. Someone + me for that.

Yes - It beat the Walther PPQ thread which was more informative.

Yes - I would get a safe and keep them at a family member's house, someone I could trust. Last resort would bring them to the apartment and be careful about it. If I had to do that and was really worried about it, I would search for another apartment while living there.

On the rounds that didn't fire. Are you sure the bolt was fully closed? If so, did you check for light primer strikes? Did this happen with both boxes of ammo? On the last shot, the bolt remains open, but the charging handle remains closed.
