NJ MVC security
Theres an armed Security guard at Piscataway, but I'm pretty sure he had a NJ MVC patch on his arm. Last time I was there, it seemed like his main job was to meter the flow of people between standing outside and standing inside. Theres a Rahway cop at the Rahway DMV

Darn red light camera....
I'm pretty sure I have one coming to me as well.. same story.. turn on red.. If a patrol cop was standing there.. there's about a 1% chance he would actually write you a ticket for that.. that's the part that pisses me off..

Do you like the Firearms Price Request Feature?

why cant i post in market place?
Even if we treat this as simply a business/mathematical proposition.. not counting the community and good things that the extra money is donated too... IMO, this forum is the best cost/benefit ratio to sell your stuff. Gunbroker Takes a Percentage (which could easily be WAY more than the $30 per year depending on the value of your stuff), craigslist doesnt let you post guns, ebay.. nope.. I guess you could go about wasting time joining forums that you'll never want to post on.. but is it worth the time? And oh yeah.. you have to then either bring your stuff to an FFL and pay him $30 Transfer plus shipping, or spend your time packing stuff up and then bring it to UPS.. (You know how much time that stuff really takes?) Not to mention, boxes, tape, Labels, Gas to get there, and your time for standing in line.. You have such a concentrated customer base here.. just saying... I'll go back to my cave now

Remington 1100 12ga barrel
I didn't have a 3 inch magnum, but when my regular one wouldnt cycle target loads correctly.. I took it completely apart and cleaned it like wtf. Then I over lubed it, and it worked fine. Seemed like mine liked to run wet. As far as the choke/barrel issue. The barrel comes right off when you take the mag cap off. So its a 2 minute job if that.. but do you have removable chokes or a fixed choke? Removable chokes should screw right in and out with alittle wrench. I had a 30 inch barrel on mine and loved it for trap with a full choke.. it was almost too easy.. but that's personal preference, target distance, shot load, etc..

Dealing with the death of a parent
Nick, I'm so sorry to hear of this. I too have experienced a situation very similar to this not too long ago. It's extremely hard for everyone involved. to be honest with u,our friends and the community here and also from my previous hobbies where most helpful with dealing with this tough time. its a much different dynamic here than "in person" friends or family. Please don't hesitate to let me or any of us know if u need any help or just an ear to talk to. and it doesn't have to be a gay formal thing. we are all friends here. stop by the chat room too

Any cap & ball revolver guys here?
I have one like that.. the instruction manual says to use 12 grains.. im sure it can take more, but also dont wanna blows off my fingers. I use 3f for everything including rifles. Guys at the BP league told me that trick. Burns smoother.
