Anybody have any experience with the 44 Mag Rossi Ranch Hand? Been looking at one of these for a while. Something tells me they ain't Jersey legal...

Wow...only 18 lbs.

Good point. Were any original mosins that had scopes top mounted?

Group buy? It's an investment!

Many members will offer some great advice. The M44 is the carbine version of the standard Mosin and probably my favorite rifle in the safe. Makes a big boom and puts on a nice show for everyone around.

Long story short, I traded an item for a SA M1 from the Garand Guy a few years ago. I know that there are many different grades and I am unsure on which grade I have. What should I be looking for? Here are some pics below just to get an idea but I am sure there will be further inspection besides a few pics. -Thanks for any help you can offer.

So I have a budget of $500. I know that the better models are around $1500-$3000. I am looking for a digital lock, holds 12 or more rifles and has shelves as well. Anybody have any links to deals that they know of? It would be $500 total...I know many warehouse sites offer free shipping. -Thanks.

I've seated a few primers sideways and crushed a few loading S&B in a Lee Pro 1000. Primer pocket is very tight. I just toss them aside and hand prime them later.

Sounds good. I will bring a copy of the closing just in case. Your right. After Aitken and all the other incidents where people were made examples of, I am certainly paranoid.

HAHAHA!!! I'll take scenario 2!

Some good points there. I'll make two trips and ensure everything is transported legally. I will opt out on calling the authoritahhhs.

Good point. Will make two trips.

So just asking for some advice. I am going to be moving next month to Randolph. I plan on calling the NJSP letting them know I will be transporting them to my new house. This will be my last trip from my apartment and will have quite a few firearms with about 8K rounds of multiple calibers. May seem suspicious if I get stopped for any reason. I will be sure they are all locked and seperate from ammo, etc... What else, if anything, should I do? -Thanks.

A quick call to the township will let you know about any discharge regulations. I called when I began to close on my house in Randolph. They were very nice but politely stated that they have a "No discharge" law probably among 90% of NJ. If they allow discharge, you would need to meet their requirements such as x amount of yards from any building (including your own).

Someone correct me if I am wrong but chamfering takes off any sharp bits after sizing. The charging die expands the case which makes it easier for the bullet to be seated. If you try to seat a bullet without expanding the case, you risk the chance of crushing the case itself. I don't measure the OAL of my handgun cases too often. I usually only load once or twice fired. If you reload fired brass numerous times, the case may elongate and require the trimming. If you plan on casting your own, definitly size the castings. I made this mistake early on.

I would not either.

I've heard some pretty bad reports from the Hi-point 45. On the other hand, seems that the 995 Carbine is actually respectable in shooting performance (not quality) right above the Hi-point 380. I've handled all three. Cheap plastic on top of poorly machined metal. All heavy in the wrong places and the mechanics seem clunky. I would like to see a range report of the 380. I have considered one a few times. (Let it be known that I own a Jennings J22 and love it!!!)

I can see this pissing off a range officer.

Well, if they do allow tree stand bow hunting on private property, any of you are more than welcome to hunt on my land. Only 1.5 acres but it is in a heavily wooded area. Not sure when the season is but the closing is around mid March.

This is the Ironia section. She claims she won't mind the commute. I have done it for a year when I worked in Westchester over the TPZ. I was there earlier taking some pics and noticed a neighbor shooting around on something motorized.

Yeah, that does suck but the realtor explained that 2010 was the first year they allowed bow hunting for deer in the history of the towns establishment. It was a great success and they will do it again this year. Maybe this will open a door in the near future. I think if the town allows discharge, you need to be 80 yards away from any building?

Yeah, I hear that. I work in Fairfield so I jump on 80 right after the traffic. My wife works in Teterboro so she has the long commute. She says she doesn't mind because a Yeshiva is right accross the street. Also wondering how the PP process is in Randolph. It is always an issue here in Hackensack and I have given up on pistols for now just because of it. They make us get letters notarized and have an interview with the Chief each time. There is always a delay no matter how organized I am. I can't wait to go ATVing in my backyard.

I am starting the process of buying a house in Randolph. Just want to get any feedback if any members live in this town. House has 1.5 acres of wooded land which I am a big fan of.

One of my vendors picked this up for me for the holidays. Haven't tried it yet.

Since Feb, Cabela's execs have said no more stores in 2011 due to "timing". Any contract that Cabela's was locked into have probably become null and void since the whole project tanked. In the slim chance that Cabela's did open, it wouldn't resemble the PA location at all. It will probably resemble a Dick's more. Slim chance of all the endless racks of goodies. They still considering to charge $15 to any shopper looking to park?
