cold shot

Anything Stevie Ray Vaughan

Glad I checked with you guys first - thanks I am looking at my first surplus rifle and want to start off inexpensive, is an Enfield or Mosin the way to go right now until I learn more about them ? Also, I think I would like to stay with available ammo like 30-06 or others.

welcome !

ok cool - thanks for the info coldsolderjoint

Welcome !

Just looking at the offer they have for a Mauser K98k that includes accessories and wondering if it's worth it. Got it from an add in American Rifleman. http://www.mauser.org/specials/stimulus2009.htm

I thought I saw an aisle full of stuff at Cheyenne's last time I went there http://www.cheyennemtnoutfitters.com/

LMAO !

wow, I guess the cats will eventually get over the territorial thing - good to know

I will try to make it - thanks

Thanks for your post/opinion maksim, I thought about the 22 conversion kit for my Sig 226 but after looking at your post on the Smith 22a and the price , they're the same price. I'm gonna take a look at Cheyenne to check it out.

I would love to eventually get a dog in a few years but not sure how you can introduce a dog into a household with 2 cats

That's why I was leaning towards a Kimber since I can get a reasonably good quality 1911 under 1K. I can understand a competition shooter tweaking every aspect of the 1911 for an advantage. If it feels and fits good ... then I'm happy.

I am also looking for a 1911 and not sure whether to go the Match Grade or the combat route in possibly a Kimber or Colt. I am assuming that the major difference between the two series is the trigger pull ? Ideally would like to get both types however just like to get an all-around good 1911 (possibly getting involved in IDPA in the future).

correct - 7/6, thanks

We should move this thread and others into the Military Surplus category. I'll bet this will grow with the great interest (including myself) in obtaining, cleaning and firing these treasures.

I found this pdf on cosmoline removal http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting/co ... moline.pdf

Just came back from my local PD to pick up 5 PP's - time to go shopping. First on the list is a 1911. I submitted the application on 4/6 and got a call from the officer yesterday so under 3 weeks is pretty good.

Good stuff ! Congratulations !

Shore Shot and soon to be at Range 14 at Fort Dix

Didn't realize these were in NJ - thanks for bringing this up. Just checked the website and there seems to be a range pretty much in each county. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/ranges.htm The only restriction is that at least 1 member of the shooting party must have a NJ Current Hunter License in possession.

Yes, you can shoot Shotgun at SS as a member only. Non-members cannot. If you're a member, it is also restricted to type of shot that can be used.

I think I am ready to get a flattop AR, possibly with quad rail, carbine,etc and am thoroughly confused of who/what to purchase. Do I stick with the well known quality manufacturers like Bushmaster, Armalite, S&W M&P or are there others that I should consider. Wanted to start out with one that I can accessorize over time. Also, What gun store in NJ has a good selection/good price in stock that I can walk in and touch and feel them ?

what calibers were available ?
