man if I was still paying those prices I would never shoot. With the economy the way it is, I don't know how you guys find the money to go pay that much for ammo.

hard to find in good condition and extremely expensive

I gotta be the smartass and say, my reloading press. 5 dollars per 50 FTW!

You disappoint me sir, first the glock and now a mossberg. I've lost all respect

any new input from my fine NJGF friends

same gun, different barrel

Bob and I discussed this and decided that the Model 15 DW wouldn't work well for the g/f because I already thought about doing it LOL

Thanks guys!! Chris I actually have to go down by you to pickup a Mosin from Maks so I may have to put together a weekend to meet up with you and Joe and Maks all at the same time if I can drag the g/f with me.

I am right eye dominant but Left hand dominant. For me it was not worth it to shoot southpaw so instead I trained myself to shoot righty and I'm extremely glad I did. Now I don't have to buy Southpaw guns etc. It may be something to look into shooting the opposite way even if it means buying a southpaw since I believe you shoot right now. M

That one actually comes out a little cheaper than the forum vendors but I'd rather give the money to them and pay slightly a bit more. Thanks for the link Tony

Chris I may have to entertain you on this one. I may in fact bring the g/f down by Joe if he'll allow me to let her try out his Model 60 Pro. I'd like her to at least shoot whatever I'm going to buy before I actually buy it since the main reason I'm buying it is for her to shoot since I'll shoot just about anything.

Thanks a lot Bob for chiming in you were able to explain it a lot better in a lot less words than I could. I've definitely decided that if I go new, it'll be a Pro series as there's no sense in not spending the extra 50 dollars to get a way better gun. Now it's just deciding to spend 400 plus 30 for shipping plus 35 for transfer and nics which would give me a total price of 465 or to spend 700 for a new gun. So 235 dollar difference is it really worth it but also the new is a pro the used is a base model. I have a feeling I'll end up with the pro as long as my tax return is what I think it's going to be.

Yes Lunker you are absolutely correct I'm a SS snob. If the Ruger 22/45 in SS wasn't so expensive I would sell the blued model I have and buy the SS version. I guess the only handguns I'll even own in blued are the Ruger and a Luger probably. I really wish a Model 60-3 would fall into my lap for 350 and I'd be content.

oh boy is that an interesting place. I love how they screwed up on every students 1098-t form because of that ridiculous banner system that blows beyond belief. And I love the english speaking professors at that school, oh wait there are none

of course you would suggest spending more of my money

I refuse to do a model 10 purely do to that crap a** sights. She's blind like me and I know I would find those sights frustrating so I'm sure she'll find them even more frustrating so anything without adjustable sights is out of the question.

So I'm in a dilemma and can't decide what to do as I'm complete torn. I currently have a S&W 686 with a 6" barrel that I shoot a decent amount except my g/f can't shoot it because it's just too heavy for her. So she's been shooting my Ruger Mark III 22/45 for the past year and has been doing extremely well and I would like to bring her into the world of .38 spl. After talking with Pizza Bob we decided that the best gun for my situation would be a S&W Model 60 in 3 inch barrel. So far the past few months I have been searching Gunbroker and the local gun shops looking for a model 60. My original budget for this was in the 350 dollar range. I have yet to find a Model 60 in a gun shop but have found a few on GB. The only problem is, a used Model 60 is going for between 450-550 dollars sometimes even 600 dollars. After seeing this I decided how much it would cost to just get a brand new Model 60 and this is where I stumbled upon the Model 60 Pro Series. I can get a base model Model 60 for about 650 OTD. I can get a Model 60 Pro Series for about 700 OTD. Or I can get a used base model Model 60 for about 450-600. I'm in a complete dilemma about what to do but I feel if I'm going to spend the 650 for the base model it would be stupid not to spend the extra 50 dollars and get a pro series instead. I'm just having a hard time justifying going double over my original budget that I had set for myself. If this was you, what would you do?

Go talk a walk around NJIT and check out their plan or lack there of a plan. Complete joke. Sure would be nice to have something on me walking back and forth to my car and getting out of that damn town.

Seriously, man up and shoot that baby like the commies did. If whimpy whimpy Glenn can shoot it, theres no reason you can't!

And I thought the opposite and said that thing is fuggin ugly!

Similar guns can be had for around 1500 dollars. Look into Dan Wesson 1911's.

updated my list, added gun #'s 5 & 6. I believe I am still winning

Just so everyone knows, Eric informed him how much the gun was actually worth and the guy didn't care if it was worth 200, 4k, or 20k dollars. He had no interest in firearms and it had been sitting in his house for years collecting dust. All the guy asked for was enough money to take his wife out for dinner one night. Eric is anything but a shady character and will always take less in a deal and give more away in a deal just to make sure the other party is happy and I know this from first hand experience with him.

My advice is skip the ultrasonic as the cleaning solution is somewhat expensive. My advice would be to go the route of stainless steel media. You can get a Thumblers tumbler model B from cabelas for about 180 dollars. It'll cost you another 50 dollars for the stainless steel media which has an infinite shelf life, you'll never have to replace it like you do with regular corncob media. Outside of that you need a jug of some form of dish detergent (I use dawn) and I highly advise you to get some lemi-shine they sell it at every walmart. You use between 1-2 tbsps of dawn and a 1/4 tbsp of lemishine so you can go a long way with a jug of each. Add water and your good to go. The brass comes out looking like pure gold like it just came from the factory brand new. Now sounds like a miracle right but there are a few downsides. First is the case capacity. You can do about 250 .45 cases. Some people do more but if you follow the manufacturers instruction it says only 15lbs of stuff can go into the tumbler. So between the water and brass that's the capacity you can get. I have experimented with a little less water to get a few more cases and havn't had a problem. Next is a plus and a minus. I have cleaning primer pockets so if you deprime all of your brass before you clean it, you'll now have sparkling clean primer pockets. So this adds an extra step to the cleaning process you normally wouldn't do with other methods but boy is it worth it. The last downfall which in the beginning was a pain in the butt but after doing about 10 tumbles I got it down to a science is seperating the brass from the media and getting everything clean. My advice is to get a super fine drain catch so if you send any pieces of media into your sink or tub they will get caught there. What I do is take the case from my tumbler, dump the water out. Fill it about half way and take my hand an dig down to the bottom of the media and stir everything around. Dump water out, repeat process. Now I'm not getting any soap anymore so I can a spackle bucket which I cut in half to reduce the amount of water I have to use fill it to almost the top. I take my rockford arsenal seperator that mounts to a 5 gal spackle bucket and dump my media into there. Give it a few spins and now my media is on the bottom of the bucket and i have nice clean brass. Dump the water out, dump the media back into the tumbler, and put the brass on a towel next to my baseboard heating and in about 2 hours your ready to reload again. If you need any pictures of videos etc either ask myself of glennp as I know we both use and love this system. sorry for the long post. M

voted on by who? How was the vote proposed? I'm sure it was just as shady as Congress voting to give themselves a raise
