I just applied for 3 permits thinking I can only buy one a month. Just got a call back from the local PD saying I can only apply for one a month. I thought we can apply for as many as we like (3 would be the logical amount) and can only purchase one a month? So I have to make the trip every month and pay $18 again?

What would you take with you for short recon trips? (supermarket for supplies, gun shop, CVS, etc). WASR 10 as main Smith 3913 9mm and my Tokarev as side arms. Should be good...

Lucky!

Just an FYI, I posted the listing in the NJGF List section in the marketplace.

I think NickySantoro has some 30.06 available for sale. Send him a PM. You can find some of his posts in the Marketplace. I keep about 200 rounds at home in en bloc clips for my Garand. There was a time where I had 3 spam cans but the stuff is getting scarce and expensive (Surplus Ball stuff).

Sounds like you are considering a large job? I bought the blueing kit to redo my Mossberg barrel. Came out great but the stuff stinks.

Count me in! Already have emergency food in my Mother's basement in Teaneck. If we ever run out, she has 5 shitzsu's. I also live right down the street from Restaurant Depot so I may stay where I am. Taquitos Baby!!

Damn! Nothing here in Hackensack!

So bottom line is that while I live in NJ, I cannot build a Sten. If I go to PA, build it and bring it back (blocked mags), it is still illegal.

Yup, no renting at BH. Go ahead and ask, I'm sure you will get a very friendly response.

SO all I have to do it build the Sten in PA, electropencil any old serial number on it, make sure it doesn't say "STEN" on it, 16" barrel, semi-auto, "Made in PA.." And it still may be illegal! not worth it. My welding skills are pretty good...not professional but get the job done. I built this beauty. (Still a work in progress)

I forgot to mention that while I was browsing, they were talking about buying surplus mags for $10 from another site and putting them up for sale for $35 along with raising prices on other inexpensive stuff. Yeah, business is business but while a customer was on the floor? Good prices but yeah, a lot of ugly bores, bulged barrel sales, rust and crust. Kinda like that stuff.

Yeah, it happens. I am a Hotel Manager so when I go somewhere and do not get the type of courtesy that I offer to my guests, it bothers me to hell. I will probably go back...this time, 20 minutes before closing.

Of course you had a great experience there...it wasn't 10 minutes to closing when you were there.

Yeah, but I don't want to be that pr*ck that writes the letter and then comes back only because he got 20 bucks off a rifle (even though I am that pr*ck ). Also, it is supposedly a national supplier of goods, lights out at 4pm? What, they couldn't have left at 4:06pm that day? It was a 98K with Hoheitszeichen mark on the bolt. Only $200. Oh well...

Finally decided to give Sarco a second chance. I walked in a there were tons of rifles and other cool World War oddities. Some very good prices. Even a couple M44s that I was considering. I finally decided on a K98 and asked to purchase it. The guy's answer was "Sorry, we are closing in 10 minutes". The key word here is "closing", not "closed". A rifle purchase takes 5 minutes? I was the only one in the store. :?

Hello David. Welcome to the forum. I chose my first pistol by firing loaners out at certain ranges. I really wanted one kind but tried it out and didn't like the weight, feel or the sights. If I had purchased it without trying, I would have probably been aggravated and quit the sport. Maksim couldn't have put it better. Ask around and try to meet up with some of the members for some hands on.

Crapola. Thanks Jager for the plethora of good info!

Yeah. your right. Just checked the ATF website. So far, I can manufacture and own it as long as it is not built with the intent for sale. Another website says that some states will issue a serial number to stamp into the receiver after it is "called in" Anyone have any pull with the NJSP? Every time I call and leave a message, the call is returned 2 weeks later.

Anyway, I hope there is an exception or a way. I have two rifles with no serial numbers purchased 100% legally and right here in this fine state.

Not sure... Pretty similar! (Sten MKIII on top... )

This one wasn't. It was a semi kit. So pretty, too.

Just got word that we can't build receivers...

So I have been looking at the kits on GB. The uncut receiver and also the parts kits. I could cut and weld the receiver in my motorcycle shop with the supplied stencil. Besides the mag issue, are they legal in NJ? I'm pretty sure they are but the mag is inserted into the side. Could be a problem. Technically a rifle so no permit needed? Am I allowed to make my own receiver in this fashion? Ever since I built my P1, I am all into these kits, now. Any help is appreciated!

I went to the Cabela's in Dallas a few months back. Man, they had everything. I told them I was from Jersey and they let me take a few extra bricks of primers. I may be going back in the near future. :handgestures-fingerscrossed:
