these were 3/8"

So I've given these targets some abuse, .308, 30.06, 556, 357, .45 etc.. Yesterday @ CJRPC I took a shot with my .308 @ 100yds. The plate could take no more... time for some 1/2" plates now..

A quick-handed NYPD sergeant stopped a violent felon from shooting him in the gut by jamming his ring finger under the hammer of the felon’s .38 revolver, cops said today. Sgt. Michael Miller and Officer William Reddin were on patrol when they noticed a livery cab speeding eastbound on Quincy Street near Malcolm X Boulevard at about 4 a.m. today. The plainclothes cops pulled the beige Lincoln Towncar over, but when they walked up displaying their shields they noticed that one of the passengers in the back seat, Eugene Graves, was making suspicious movements near his waistband. After the cops told the passengers to get out of the car, Miller, a 13-year-veteran, reached toward a bulge at Graves’ waist and felt the gun underneath his clothes. “He told him to put his hands behind him, and that’s when he started to fight,” said a police source. Reddin, a four-year veteran, rushed to help Miller, calling for backup as he ran, while Graves’ backseat confederate took off. Graves managed to press his Taurus .38 revolver into Miller’s stomach, but Miller grabbed hold of the gun, wedging his right ring finger between the gun’s hammer and cylinder, before the murderous Graves could fire a shot. “This guy pulled the trigger so many times he broke the sergeant’s finger,” said the police source. Uniformed police officers arrived within moments and helped to subdue the still-struggling Graves, who was also found to be in possession of about 2 ounces of crack, according to a police source.

Thanks, just popped back in to say i found that on the order form as well. I'm sending mine in with just the forms, lets see what happens.

For those that have bought mail order from the CMP, do you need all the same paperwork for another order? I ordered from them last year, sent in the whole packet for my M1, do i need to do the same for a 1903?

I agree with you on the HD part, mines in the safe :-)

I like mine. It's a conversation starter anytime I take it anywhere.. I haven't shot many wheel guns besides this, but the recoil is very light with standard .357 rounds and almost nothing with 38sp. My wife and Bryan's wife have both shot it with .357 with no issues and kept it on target. The grip is a bit funky, when coming from a standard pistol, but again, most of my revolver experience has been with this gun. Easy to clean, and was almost dead on out of the box.. You get zero muzzle flip, all recoil is sent straight back into your palm. I think my wife went thru 4 or 5 boxes of 38sp at CJRPC one day and wanted more..

Chris, I've shot there many times. Smokin is 100% right on with his review..,closed for the season, nowhere near as nice as Lehigh, but for a quick trip its OK. They don't sell ammo, but if you call ahead they rent guns (I know you wouldn't need one, just an fyi). To compare it to Lehigh would be like comparing Walmarts sporting goods section to Cabelas entire store... :-) The problem I have with Redwing is each shooting position it tight, field of view, clay path, etc.. very short time frame to hit your target. I've seen. The same guys go 90/95 out of 100 at Lehigh and 40-50 out of 100 at redwing.... its the layout seems cramped, but that's the nature of the beast down there and they make the best of what they have. The folks are really nice there as well

I've camped several times at the Kittatiny (sp?) Campground in Barryville,NY. You can get a spot right on the river, a short walk away is the main office that has showers and normal bathrooms for the wife. The office is on the opposite side of the road, so, maybe 5 minute walk.can't see it from the camp sites near the water (Delaware river). While not trully in the middle of nowhere, its wife/kid friendly..

For me, also a member at both, I feel much safer at cjrpc than I do at did. I've seen some scary stuff at dicks, ricochets, muzzle sweeps, etc... I lnow tthis can happen anywhere, but less likely at CJ. Also, head to dix on a sat or sun morning and wait in line for a lane? That sucks. I've never waiting or needed to head out before CJ opened to get a lane or a pit. For me, Cjrpc all the way. Plus its always open. I understand the price difference, but like others have stated, If you use it, you can justify the cost. heck, sign up one person and save 50 bucks off next years dues...

Then SS would have the same requirement.. The atmosphere @ BA is just plain weird, dunno how to explain it, it's uncomfortable to me for some reason.. SS on the other hand feels like home (but, it is the first range I shot at, so that could be why?) :thsmiley_deadhorse: The long and short of it is they reduced their rates for NJGF members, so we all joined, then, they bitched at us and told us we don't support their business because we didn't pay enough for membership and we don't spend any money there, whats to buy? grossly over priced ammo? one of the 4 handguns they have in stock? or maybe a rifle or 2 that they went to Dicks to buy and resell in their store?.. It has soo much potential, the range is nice, the store is big, empty, but big.

Ok, I assume we are talking about a gun that is "new" to you? Not one you previously own? I.e, sent out for repair? I'm suprised we (NJ Sheeple) are allowed to do this.. My SW went out for repair and was fedex'd back to my office... it felt funny...

I've been down that road i think, going to Dix from 70, it had me go thru mayberry looking town, dirt roads

Sold out! Ill be there with Jimmyagr!

I have a Remington 700 ML in .50. Shot it a few times, taking it on a family hunting trip in November in VA.

Mine also came today. Both .50 cal cans Perfect on the inside...

Awesome news Jimmy... Good parenting pays off.. Congrats! Bring him shooting again this weekend...

Thanks. Gonna get the Barrel hot today and find the Cosmo I missed....

Here are a few quick shots I took today of my HRA M1. This is a CMP Correct Grade. Bore looks 100%... Wood cleaned up nice after removing (almost) all of the cosmo. Overall I'm very impressed with the condition of this rifle. We'll see how she shoots tomorrow..

Ibroke down and joined, used Tony's coupon as well. Got some cans and a sling coming along with a free monocular (would have rathered the first aid kit) Also found these, they should be good for running right? My link

Ah, happy to say my M1 is home, in my hands! Took just over 30 days, I ordered ammo last week and received both on the same day! It's pretty sweet, loaded with cosmo.. took apart most of the metal bits and I'm making some cosmo soup on the stove with them now.. smells like an Oldtimy gunshow.. My wife loves it.. Here are a few quick phone pics before I disassembled. @ TJ's picking it up

I ordered the ammo separate the other day. Rifle order mailed to them on April 11th I think

Just got my CMP shipping confirmation.... Sadly it was only for my ammo.....
