1. safety glasses and a dremel? 2. shooting gloves? 3. Call Remington? They were really nice when I called up to check the age of my 1100. They *might* even do it for free.

That's high, but I think some places charge $60 plus Nics + Tax. People should just shop around if they think the price is too high. It's the free market. I haven't been down to Cheyenne yet, but Harry's was awesome in the old building.

You can't beat a Mossberg 500. It's the pick-up truck of shotguns. Get that first, you will appreciate the Benelli Much more when you finally get it. I would recommend a model with the normal length mag tube, this way you can swap out barrels for your intended purpose (HD, Trap, Slugs, etc). I know I've seen Norinco lever action shotguns, but I believe I've seen them in the $500 range, and there is the question of quality with that.

I only walked by one or two of the racks. Didn't see many military guns, mostly hunting rifles and shotguns, but it was really busy, and my old man wanted to leave as he didn't have any more money left. I missed a lot of stuff.

Welcome!

I got one of these: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... tid=146913 Plus all the junk to go with it

I just got back from Cabelas in PA and I have to say, I'm impressed again. I walked in stupidly without a shopping plan, and without researching exactly what I wanted to buy, but the guys there helped me out big time. I got a black powder rifle, powder, balls, patches, cleaning stuff, and all the other junk I needed. The one guy, I think his name tag said Kim, was awesome, it took a few tries to get the rifle I wanted, but I have to say he gave me a good 30 minutes of his time explaining everything and making sure I had everything I needed. This was awesome. Anyone who has been there can attest to how much of a "tourist destination" Cabela's is. You have to attack it with a plan if you are going to save your self from wandering around in awe. I guess I might have saved a few bucks by researching and buying at the rock bottom prices, but the service here today was well worth what I paid. I didn't really get time to check out what they had in terms of ammo, I know I seen WWB 100 round boxes, a whole shelf of them, and my dad said they didn't have much in the way of powder, and no primers, but they were selling guns like it was going out of style. Very Busy, but only took a few minutes at checkout. Well worth the 2 hour drive each way.

wow, seriously? I've never liked going to public ranges after seeing all the bullet holes in Ray's stalls. I guess I'm blessed to be a member of Old Bridge, where it is essentially a private range.

Well, I bought it! With about a bazillion other things needed to get started in BP! Can't wait to shoot it.

Nah, it's traditional.

Does anyone here shoot a muzzle loader? I don't have too much experience with these, but I did get a Rifle Shooting Merit badge using a Muzzle loader in Scout Camp, can't remember everything about that though. And I did go to the black powder league at my range. Something about doing it "old school" seems appealing. I was thinking about running out to Cabelas and picking one of these up: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... k_pwdr_rfl Any one have comments/suggestions/etc? I think I like the look of the "sporterized" versions better. And I can feel OK because its not "Actually" sporterized.. Basically, I'll just be using it for dicking around at the range, but I have a friend who hunts with a muzzle loader in PA. I might accompany him sometime in the future. I don't know a lot about black powder, but I do know I would like the medium twist rate so I can shoot both Balls and Conical. With the double set trigger, can you not "set" it, and just use the higher lb trigger?

I've shot 10 of the Handgun Rounds, and 12 of the rifle Oddest Pistol: 7.62x38R (Nagant) Rifle: 8x56R (Steyr)

Wow.. Very Extensive Pictures. Nice!

You can even walk around with guns out in the open! lol.. I thought that the Armory in Philly had canceled it's shows for a while while they rebuild?

I'm not a pilot nor have I ever taken a course, but it was my understanding that small fixed wingers are not required to even have a radio. Is this correct? I took some helicopter flight lesson but I am far from having a license. I could be wrong but I thinks all aircraft have radios a lot of small airports use radio traffic to activate the runway lights automatically. 3 clicks on the mic turn them on and stuff like that. I'm about 5 years out of being current, but I believe you are partially correct, If the aircraft is operating in uncontrolled air-space, you do not need a radio. When I was flying down in Florida, around Daytona, there was a small airport community, Spruce Creek, with all retired guys who couldn't see anymore flying hand-built airplanes all over the place and hardly ever heard them on the radio. A lot of them didn't have them at all. The plane in the incident today took off from teterboro airport, which has a tower, so failing emergency conditions, would need to have a functioning radio. IMO, not having a radio, even in your home-built, is just a stupid idea.

Ive bought guns from Eagle Arms 2 or 3 times in the past, and they are great guys. One time, I bought two rifles and a spam can of ammo and they gave me a really good deal on the price, just have to ask.

That's what is responsible for keeping them minty fresh and rust free after sitting in a cave for 60 years.

+1 for bump firing! Yay!

Hey Maks, What else would need to be added to the AK Versions? The one's I saw had no muzzle attachments, so the only thing we couldn't have would be the mags. The gun as is would be good to go.

I have a Fillable .PDF File I can send to anyone who wants it. I can't upload a pdf to this thread.

Its on Fox News

Guns, Ammo, Eyes/Ears, mags, flashlight, swiss army knife, rag, gun oil, change for soda machine, batteries for ears, staple gun, targets, etc and btw: Welcome to NJGF and shooting!

Very nice! The sigs do have their own "Feel".. And I see you got one with a rail on it. lol.. have you gotten into any rail/no-rail debates yet? How many rounds does she hold?

Low pay plus corporate non-sense. The guy's who know their stuff generally have "real" jobs, and they would only work at dick's to make extra cash.. which is usually a short term thing. But then, on the flip side of things, there are plenty of dickholes who work at "REAL" gun stores too.. like the guys who still don't think that polymer pistols are viable. (1911 die hearts).
