  1. The stock will have to be pinned and like you said, it needs a permanently attached muzzle break instead of a flash suppressor. I'm not an AR expert, but just about everything can be changed iirc, but the front gas block is one important decision to make when you buy, because most of them slide off the front of the barrel which will require removal of the muzzle break if you decide to change it. Bushmaster does make NJ legal model which come A-OK from the factory. Our vendors here on the site will be able to help you out if you wish to buy in state.
  2. concealed means concealed.
  3. They do however.. send ammo no problem.
  4. Welcome! :greetings-wavingyellow:
  5. NJ melted them at one time. then the responsibility was left up to the individual counties themselves. The Middlesex county Sheriff's came to the steel mill I used to work at a few times supposedly to burn guns and drugs in the arc furnace.
  6. NFA - National Firearms Act http://www.atf.gov/firearms/nfa/
  7. Where do I order a box of those?
  8. I'm pretty sure the action is exactly the same. In terms of mechanics ONLY, yes you could convert the rifle into a pistol.. HOWEVER.. IT IS ILLEGAL under Federal Law to do such. The Charger is sold as a pistol, where as a 10/22 is sold as a rifle. The gist of the law is that a pistol can be turned into a rifle (If fitted with a 16" or longer barrel).. but a rifle can not be converted to have less than a 16" barrel unless you get Class 3 paperwork which is beyond the realm of possibility for a normal civilian in NJ.
  9. Yeah.. I got lucky with these two with the stocks being pretty nice. Most of the ones you see at guns shows are horrible. I read it's because the Swiss carried their rifle in a backpack with only the middle section of the rifle protected, the muzzle end and the butt stock were sticking out constantly. I also read that it was a non-official practice to knock the snow off your boots with the butt end of the rifle. I wished I would have picked up a beech one from J&G while they were still on sale. Yes.. I know I need to vacuum :? It really doesn't look that bad in real life :-P
  10. LOL.. there was only one girl in the club
  11. At Valley Forge, a pushy vendor was trying to sell his 2 million volt stun guns and I told him I couldn't have one. He's like "huh?" and I said I'm from NJ. He then said "Oh.. only criminals have guns over there."
  12. The rules say that the pistol should be holstered unloaded/mag out until you are actually on the line and ready to shoot. Pretty much standard practice really, just be safe and use your head. I've done rifle/pistol transitions as well. If nobody else is there, you have the range to yourself. That is during open range time, during a scheduled match, there will be a range master who will be right next to you, only one gun on a particular range will be hot.
  13. For us still stuck here.. driving to PA is worth it to be able to walk around with a rifle on your shoulder and nobody looking at you weird
  14. I believe there is only one antique arms "show" somewhere around Jackson. And it's not a real show.. the guns are just on display.. you have to go to the store of the person to complete the transaction. Not sure of the exact laws, but I'm pretty sure they are otherwise banned by statue. Does that mean I'm smart?!
  15. Thanks, exactly the type of info I was looking for, I would have no problem attending a few events or working a couple of Saturday mornings. Just wanted to get an idea if it was worth the $. Defintely thinking about it, closest place for me to shoot. Will they let me check the place out before joining? Sure.. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to show up at an event.. just about every event listed in the calendar in the newsletter is open to the public. You can just show up and start asking questions. You can even shoot there in a match for the non-member fee ($20 vs $5). I haven't been going to the range much, but I could show you around too if we could work out a time that would work for both of us.
  16. Theres more pictures of like fish and a shark and stuff in this album. I think these pics were from when we were going slow. Those little boats are FUN. They go pretty fast. I'm pretty sure I had it in the air a few times riding over waves. The steering is pretty hard though.. all manual.. haha.. I offered to let her drive back.. but she declined.
  17. The manual indoor range is kind of a drag.. I usually only shoot outside unless I get the hankering for some blasting at 3am. They set it up for indoor IPSC and PPC and bullseye and stuff too.. so I don't know how efective it would be if they put in the strings to pull the target back.
  18. I've done the snorkeling like everyone else and their grandmother has. I've been telling my GF we should get certified and take a real scuba trip when we go on vacation.. but I think she is less than enthusiastic. Besides.. I float pretty well with my girth I don't know if she trusts me after I was trying to knock her out of the mini-boats last year.
  19. I've been waiting till they offer that big bowie knife you hang on the wall.. but I don't think they are going to send that for the Easy Pay Life Membership. They should just start offering free guns with Life Membership.
  20. Central jersey has some weird rules to me. Like no rifle calibers in the pistol pits and no drawing from holsters and what not. The work requirements at Old Bridge aren't necessarily "Hard Labor". You can get involved with a discipline and help set up a match and things like that too. It's meant to get members involved in the club and make it a better place.. as opposed to being a dump like some public ranges are. Or.. you can be like me and just pay the money. :?: The initiation thing isn't really bad, it's designed to try to introduce the different shooting disciplines to the new members. Like, you can attend IPSC, Shotgun, Blackpowder, High Power, IDPA, etc. I'm pretty satisfied with Old Bridge, my close proximity to it could be a large factor in that, but it's a really nice laid back place to shoot in my opinion. Most times I go, there is no waiting, and you can have an entire range to yourself. Of course that is dependent on how many people show up at once, but in my experience, it has never been a problem. Or.. if you enjoy competitive shooting like IDPA or Steel, the clubs for those is rather large and can get pretty competitive sometimes and even shoot for money. The major downsize in my eyes is that there is no range longer than 100 yards.
