Shot it today: I need to lose some weight :cry:

I would get out of NJ. But +1 on what Maks said, gotta think of what you can do with your degree. Rutgers is in New Brunswick, crowded, hard to get around, and expensive But, they have lots of STD girls, and good greasy food aka, the grease trucks and lots of places to eat

Dicks should have em

I would go with the classic.. blue and wood. I shot my friends stainless/synthetic and the stock was just too light for me, although that was an older model with the "cut-out" stock. Mine is stainless with a Manlicher style stock. I got it at Cabelas, I think it's a special edition or something, I haven't seen another like it. I wasn't too fond of it when I bought it, but it grew on me!

Anything flies on a Pump shotguns as long as the barrel remains at 18.5" and above. And the overall length of the entire gun does not fall under 26". As long as its a pump, muzzle brakes, collapsable stocks, folding stocks, etc are all good, and do not have to be pinned. I'm pissing into the wind, but it's actually 18" for the barrel. The extra 0.5" is for insurance All of those evil features are good to go on any shotgun OTHER than a semi. So, lever action, break open, etc, will be good to go as well.

I actually used a copper pipe cutter to cut the barrel, and I put the stock in my dad's chop saw to make it short and sweet. :-P

Nah.. just cuz its cool... i bet if (God Forbid) I ever needed to use that for home defense, I would get trumped up charges for making a more deadlier weapon. Comon.. everyone knows in NJ, you are supposed to help the bad guys steal your TV and rape your family...

Wow, Very nice! I wouldn't trade that for anything

I was thinking about it last night. No doubt the current system could be improved. It is old and a massive cost of time and manpower, neither which is in much supply right now. Years back when departments had staffing it worked somewhat better. Today with reduced manpower, in takes time as many know. The FFL clearance might be worth a look but I'd like to see a state set fee structure to avoid scalping of transfers. Of course on the other end you need improvements and a increase of staff to run the NICs checks. This is all true. But, I'm kinda inclined to think that the free market would dictate the prices of FFL Transfers. There are some guys who charge $60 or more, but then there are guys who charge $20 or $30. The guys who charge less would get more business. Your second point about NICS is also true, and I'm only going on hearsay and rumors on this issue, but I was under the assumption that NJ uses their own system based at the state police, whereas every other state uses a Federal System from the FBI. So once again, if this is the case, why wouldn't it be a good idea to do what every other state is doing? If the cost of business goes up, outsourcing is a very viable option in most cases, so the State could outsource to FFL's and the FBI..

That video would turn into a really nice animated GIF for an Avatar!

So what you are saying is prohibit all face to face transactions as is now available? What you have is a FFL charging $30 or so and higher in many cases to handle the transfer. Great deal for the FFL's. Not so great for sellers and buyers. In a way NH has such a system. while they don't require a FFL transfer, state law states it is up to the seller to determine that the seller can legally purchase the firearm and is not prohibited from ownership. sounds simple but if it turns out the buyer is prohibited, the seller is not legally and criminally liable for the sale. So unless the buyer is very well known, you go through a FFL at whatever cost they demand. No, what I'm saying is: Obviously a system like in "free America" would not work here (You know, cash and carry), so we need to compromise. I never said to prohibit face to face transfers on long guns. All I said was that a system like PA would be appropriate. Pistols need to go through a FFL there. A face to face pistol transaction in NJ is not really face to face anyways, as it is "Face to Police to Face to Face to Police" and all you are really doing is putting that transaction on the books. If it goes through an FFL, then it's on the books, no need to use public resources/tax money (detectives), no stupid wait time, and hey.. we are helping out private businesses/the economy(the FFL's). I would much rather pay a few bucks more and have my pistol transferred today, rather than pay the permit fee plus the background check fee, plus the undetermined wait time. That's all I'm saying.. if you can find a hole in my idea, I would be happy to debate it with you. But hey, it works in PA!

Or, NJ could be like 48ish other states and just got rid of this permit nonsense altogether.. oh wow.. that would free up a lot of time in the records departments! Make it so that pistol's have to be transferred through an FFL, like in PA. That should be plenty of security for the liberals.

haha.. its actually a single shot 20 gauge Stevens. Barrel measures a hair over 18.5" and the overall length is is a hair under 27".. just to be sure...

My new project. I don't know whether to rough it up and put tape on it to make it look like a gangbanger gun, or to re-blue it and sand down the wood to refinish it nicely

Yeah.. I'm sure I need to know how Pallone and Menendez voted :roll:

Ahh, see, I didn't know that.. didn't read into history that much. If it were me, I would keep it with the shellac as that is a part of history. Same reason, I wouldn't have a problem owning a Russian Capture K98. But.. everyone has their cup of tea

Seems like you can get a decent variety of shells available online.

Thanks, it seems I've been a member for quite a while! :-P

So I'm on youtube dicking around, and like most of my gun purchases, in an impulse, I want a 10 gauge shotgun now. Really for no other reason than to hurt my shoulder and to say I have one. Does anyone have one here, or have you shot one? What's the cheapest 10 gauge I can get? There is a single shot H&R on gunbroker for $175.

Nice Job! But i suppose you keep that in PA with the retractable stock?

I want an SVT-40.. but then again.. i want a lot of stuff..

I have no doubt that the rifle is more accurate than I am, I just don't really care for the iron sights though.. the mauser sight is much more precise.

rem-oil is a cleaner/lubricant in one can. I think any cleaner would work, clp, rem-oil, good old hoppes #9 and oil, etc.

I used the same two references that I used for my FID and they were not contacted again.

Didn't the Russian's refinish the Nagants with shellac? So you would have to remove that first before you could go lighter.. by sanding I presume. When I got that gun, I used a 50/50 mixture of Boiled Linseed Oil and Turpentine to clean the stock, but not actually take off the finish, it lighted up quite a bit compared to where it was. Lots of dirt/cosmoline came off.
