Gun purchases that left you kicking yourself...
Yes. I tried everything I could get my hands on.. all different ammo, different oils.. tried about 10 different mags from my friends guns, all my mags.. friends shot it (if it was even possible to limp wrist that gun)... nothing seemed to cure the problem.

Gun purchases that left you kicking yourself...
Kel-Tec Sub2000. I REALLY wanted a Sub-2000 with Glock 19 magazine well (NJ 15 Rounds).. so after months of calling kel-tec and all the gun stores I could.. I finally found one on gunbroker for over list. I bought it, and of course paid too much. I got it and the thing wouldn't stop jamming. I cleaned and oiled, and cleaned and oiled.. Finally it got sent back to kel-tec. After their really long service time, with horrible customer service, it came back and was still broken.. Disgusted.. I just left it at the back of my safe for awhile.. then I called them up again to see if they would pay for shipping back to them (second time).. and they refused. So after that.. I traded it in (on gun broker - lost money) and got an excellent condition K31. Love that rifle.. Will never buy another Kel-Tec product again.

Cleaning Kits for Noobs
Well, I think once you get into this sport a little more, you will learn new tips and tricks and a lot of personal preference. I think most of us started out with the little kit from hoppes, and then added and subtracted things until we found what we like. It's kind of hard to give you a definitive answer. You basically need a solvent and a lube (or a 1 step combining two of these.. like clp).. and stuff to get the dirt/carbon out and the cleaner/oil in.. lol I can tell you what I use primarily: Bore Snake Rem-Oil spray can Synthetic Motor Oil (Mobil 1) Old Toothbrush Lots of Butch's twill patches Hoppes Rod with brushes and jag to fit Q-tips Mom's "Bad" Towel to cover work surface Old undershirt for a rag. I got plenty of stuff laying around for those "abnormal" circumstances too. Sorry I can't give you a perfect answer.

6 weeks and no FID yet
Honest Answer?? MOST states in the Union have an articulated RKBA in the State Constitution. NJ does not. I think that and a fake ID created with stolen ID information for a while was fairly cake walk pre-9/11. The introduction of computers made it harder, but after 9/11 they really started to crack down on that stuff. I think you guys missed my point.

6 weeks and no FID yet
Why is it that with most states in the union, a driver's license and a NICS call is enough? Of course keeping guns out of our hands is curbtailing gun violence in our cities :roll:

Are you a Smoker?
When I was in the Caribbean a few weeks ago, cigs were $13 a carton. 2 months ago, on the cruise, they were $25 a carton.

Action shooting ranges?
I think it's $15/hr Is there ever a wait at CJ? I've gone to the indoor range at all different times and at most, there was one other party there. On the outdoor range, the only time I had to move/accommodate others is when we wanted to use the whole 100 yard (start at 25, and then work back).. but that was inconsiderate if others were there, so we moved.. but other than that.. never had to wait to shoot and pretty much always have our "own" range.

My target/pinking AR build
That looks sweet! I want to see a gun that has a longer scope than it's barrel.

Shotgun Opinion needed.
I'd go with the Rem 870, as TBTrout has said its a very versatile platform. It's your first shotgun, so it can serve most shotgun purposes for you. The Stoger would be more suited to trap or hunting. I've shot trap with an 18" cylinder bore barrel (Mossberg 590).. haha.. the old guys didn't like the added noise, but i hit enough of them.. :mrgreen: I wouldn't worry about the modified choke, but unless Dick's has a special model, it should just be the removable Rem-choke.. as stated on this page: http://www.remington.com/products/firea ... xpress.asp Looks like they give you only one choke tube, so they can gangbang you for $30 when you want another :cry: With Dicks.. just be sure that you are looking at the ACTUAL gun you will be buying.. when i bought a Mossberg there 2 years ago, I look at the one off the shelf.. and the guy helps me wipe the dust off of it.. I tell him "I'll take it".. then goes in the back and grabs a new one.. then he got pissy with me when I wanted to look at the one I'd actually be buying.. :roll:

Action shooting ranges?
Yes, it's pretty close to the merge. Indoor Range is 25 yards, pistols (no magnums) and .22 Rifles only. Open 24/7 except when scheduled matches are held (not too bad at all, lots of time available). Outdoor range- Anything you can legally own, you can shoot there. 100 yard and 50 yard rifle ranges, 5 or 6ish pistol pits, and a shotgun range, 7 days a week, 9am to half hour before sundown (except when scheduled matches There's almost always at least one range open) First Year is $300 initiation plus $360 Dues.. (I think those numbers are correct).. payable in two installments, plus 12 work hours per year. (It sounds like a lot, but it's not too bad at all, and a pretty good value). I heard CJ has comparable or better facilities, but it's too far for me to drive.

1911 magazines...
I hate to be the differentiating opinion here, but my Chip McCormick mags kind of suck. My Wilsons are rock solid, and I've never had a problem with the Mec-gar mag either. Don't get suckered into buying those 3 for $10 gun show mags that come in the brown paper.. they wont feed at all.. only buy those if you already have the rebuild kits.

Gun Values
They sell gun value books in Barnes and Noble for a couple bucks. I know it's a bit shady, but you could go and "look up" the price. I only did it once for my fathers' Winchester Bi-Centennial because it's a hard gun to price. I'm not sure if the library would have this same book. Possibly one of the "super libraries" in the larger towns. Other than that.. I look on Gunbroker, or GunsAmerica to see what they are going for.

Deer Gun
Hello! These sound like really good prices, but I couldn't find exact information on them on the Web, are they older models? BTW, would you happen to know what rail moss berg uses on their cantilever guns? (I don't have the gun yet).

Handgun and rifle dealers
you could use the gunbroker dealer list, it's not all exhaustive, but it has a pretty good number. Also, I won't order anything from Bud's, but their FFL List is pretty comprehensive.
