Sounds like it could be promising. At least there will be a lot of stuff to look at. I have to go into work for a little while tomorrow morning, but will probably leave to be there around noontime (12:30ish).

Welcome!

Will be 28, July 2nd.

Wow! Looks Awesome! :handgestures-thumbup: You definitely have some impressive skills.

Welcome! A Mosin Nagant would make a great and inexpensive first rifle. Once you buy one gun though you will want many more!

What's a Fudd? i was looking at a stoeger too. i def want a gun for shooting clays only so maybe i'll pick up one of these. is there a shop in northern jersey that sells mossberg and stoeger for a reasonable price? A Fudd is a generally derogatory term for someone whose sole interest in firearms is shotgun sports. They don't really give a whit about gun laws, since only the most onerous laws would have any effect on them, and they usually look down on those who bring any attention to firearms legislation because it's so much easier not to make waves, and possibly put their particular hobby under the scrutiny of the state. Dick's has Mossbergs, Stoegers, and a couple of other O/U guns available at good prices. :text-+1: For Stoeger and Dick's (Sporting Goods that is!)

:handgestures-thumbup: Good looking bird! Looks to be a good size.

How about typing something up. Only to hit "preview" to make sure that what you wrote doesn't look all messed up and then have someone else beat you, to what you wanted to say.

Check out: http://scoutscopes.com/index.html A really good independent review of the SKS Scout Scope Mount with installation pictures and a range review. http://www.surplusrifle.com/reviews2005/sksscoutscopemnt/index.asp I'd like to get an SKS one of these days, and the scout scope is something I will definitely look into.

As of last Monday there are plenty of older double barrel shotguns there. There were also probably about 6-8 Enfields. As far as lever actions I believe there were 2-3 Marlin 30-30. Yeah I know Marlins.

:shock: Ummm... so yeah. Glad I decided not to go....

Scratch that... Mechanic just called about the work that needs to be done on the wife's car. No gun show for me this weekend. :shock: :x

They just completely redid the MV inspection facility in Flemington on Rt. 202. Now they want to get rid of inspections....? I actually need to get my truck inspected. Planning on going today.

Yikes! 133 miles - 2 hours 30 mins..... thinking about it...

I did check out the K31s and the Yugo Mausers when I was at SARCO. I do think that they will make it into my collection at some point. When is the question though, as I still have two pistol permits to fill and I'm running out of cash to spend on this, one of my many expensive hobbies (according to the wifey).

I haven't shot many rounds through it, but I'm very happy with it so far. I'm used to shooting clays with an 870 Express. Now with the O/U the follow-up shots (if necessary ) are so quick and easy. Just point and shoot. Don't forget the $50 mail-in rebate through DICKS! :handgestures-thumbup:

I wasn't checking the time, but probably close to an hour. I wonder how long it took that boat from Brielle! :shock: It was worth it for them too, I'm sure.

On Tuesday I completely took apart the Mosin and gave it a good cleaning. I used boiling water to remove the cosmoline from all the metal parts (that was fun) and used the stock on the dashboard technique for cleaning up the stock. I also started to take off some of the old finish from the stock, but didn't go crazy because I want to test it out on Wednesday. I plan on re-finishing the stock, but wanted to shoot it first. Yesterday after fishing with my dad, I did some shooting with Mosin and now am definitely hooked on Milsurp. Now what am I gonna buy and clean up next?

After fishing with my dad yesterday, we tested out the Stoeger as well as my new Mosin. I went through 50 rounds shooting clays with the Stoeger. I really like it. I had one light strike, but I almost feel like I hesitated and didn't follow through with my trigger pull after fumbling with the automatic safety. :oops: Overall though I really like it and had a great time shooting it. I'll see how it holds up.

Thanks! Yeah we first saw him by the tip of Sandy Hook, then he made his way across the bay. :shock: We were not far from Long Island. Close to Rockaway I think.

Thanks for the advice Mike. We planned on going on The Fisherman, but it turned out that it was the only boat that went out yesterday from AH. That is my dad and I. We are the last picture in the second post of Capt. Ron's thread. The wind was crazy, the waves were huge, and it was freezing, but the bite was on! Everyone limited out and then caught plenty more! Plenty of bluefish too. There was one party boat from Brooklyn, The Atlantis from Brielle, and us on The Fisherman on the water. There was nobody else on the water until we were heading in and we saw this guy windsurfing! It was a great day of fishing!

Which boat? The Fisherman is probably your best bet if you haven't decided on a boat. Haven't decided yet. We typically see how busy each boat is when we get there in the morning. I think everyone is running 7:30 - 2:30 except for the Sea Tiger II (8-12:30). We actually haven't gone "striper" fishing in 2 years. We've never had a lot of success with stripers. We do a lot of fishing for bluefish, fluke, ling etc. Thanks for the tip on the Fisherman. Is there a specific reason?

Welcome!

Great looking striper Mike! My dad and I are going to go on a party boat for stripers tomorrow out of Atlantic Highlands.

Thanks Ken. I saw last night that you have one too. I gave it a cleaning and oiling when I got home. I didn't check out the trigger area though. Have you had any issues? $399.99 with a $50 dollar mail-in rebate from DICKS. :handgestures-thumbup:
