Just to add my $.02 my Springfield has never FTF or jammed in probably 7-800 rounds since I purchased it.

If no one posts up by the time I get home I will look up the exact dollar amount for the policy. I have NJM and they dictate an exact dollar amount that they will cover for firearms. I want to say it's only $2000, but I will verify when I get home. I don't currently have any add'l coverage as the only firearm that spends time at my house regularly is my 1911.

I'm down. I'll try again to meet you guys and bring the wifey as well.

Congrats!

Thanks for joining and contributing to the discussion! I for one will be purchasing the hammerhead grip in order to get a collapsible stock on my AR when I build it. I was concerned about comfort but your 30 day return policy sold me.

How is it any different from a standard stock on any hunting rifle or shotgun?

From what I understand, you can own hollow points, transport them with your vehicle(seperate from any guns), and shoot them at the range or while hunting. Outside of that, you can not use them for self-defense. A LEO I work with recommended the Federal expanding FMJ for HD.

That... is... awesome.

Welcome to the forum. I started shooting with my father around that time frame. Keep the emphasis on safety and you should be GTG

IMO when planning for the Zombie war, you need to plan for a total SHTF situation in addition to zombies. The chances of a SHTF situation is increased several hundred percent when you introduce zombies.

Yea I was stressing hard when that one came through. First thing I thought of when you posted this thread.

No kidding... we'll have to get together at Lucille's next deer season.

Haha... the old Polish Nat'l Rod and Gun Club that was disbanded years ago. We certainly may have met...I'm usually out there with my pops, and we both carry Remingtons with scopes.

ok.. dont get much from them.. but will keep updated.. where is it ? Near Simm Place Rd off 539.

Shit... please keep the updates coming, my family has a hunting lodge down there.

Yup. Here in Franklin there are 2 superintendants and 2 asst superintendents who made a total of $666,000 in 2009. The "head superintendent"(why do we need 2???) pulled in 206,000 ALONE! With all that the Franklin school system is CRAP.

22yo here, and trying to balance the two. I have a '99 Corvette, a couple guns, take several vacations a year, go deer hunting with my pops every winter. At the same time I am paying a mortgage, try to max out my Roth IRA, and am going to start investing some money elsewhere within a month or two. My parents did nothing but save, and now that my mother has retired, with my father soon following, they own 3 houses outright. However, they have told me several times that they would have rather spent some of those savings and had more fun along the way.

What would the effective range be of a carbine firing a pistol round though? Wouldn't you be limited to less than 100 yards?

Out of the three deer I've shot, only 1 was within 75 yards. For reference my first one was 60 yards, second one 85, and third 110. All three taken with slugs and my 870. These were all on public hunting ground in NJ.

As I see it, the .223 gives you the ability to carry more ammo due to lower weight than the ,30 cal rounds, and .223 is still effective out to 250 yards. In a true SHTF situation, the extra range of .30-06 or .308 would be wasted in NJ in my opnion. I'd like to hear other thoughts on the matter though.

Thanks! The forum is def a nice place to hang.
