Hi! I have a Ruger Mk 1 bull barrel that seems to eat anything. I recon they're a fantastic pistol ; I did a podcast a few years ago reviewing mine: http://gunreviewpodcast.com/2011/06/10/ruger-mk-1leth-in-new-jersey/ Cheers!

Mine was submitted yesterday (Wednesday) morning and was approved this morning. (Thanks Paul of Arms n Ammo!)

I'd be interested in attending if there is room. My availability to attend would depend upon the class date. Thanks for any info you can provide!

I love my WASR 10. Not a single problem in over six years. Great fun!

I'll be there using my newly CMP acquired Garand. Huzzah!

Yup; got mine yesterday too.

Wow - thanks for the link. That certainly clears that question up!

Hmmm - are you thinking about a different Steve Lee? Isn't this guy very pro-gun and pro-shooting? Maybe I missed something...

I have been using the Lee two and six cavity moulds for many years to great effect in .38/.357 and 45ACP. The lead I used was prefired projectiles reclaimed from the berms of my club. I only recently stopped casting due to a sudden reduction in free time due to studies and family. If you will be shooting a lot, casting is financially economical, but it came to the point for me where it just made more sense to buy pre-cast projectiles.

I have a WASR with thousands of rounds through it without a single jam or any unwanted magazine wobble. They are as rough as guts inside, but to me that is part of the charm. Lift the receiver cover and you will see machining marks and a mainspring that looks like it was made out of a coathanger, but I knew that when I bought it. If I want high end machining and tight tollerances I'll use an AR. If you get a WASR, make sure you know what you intend to use it for and don't try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Cheers!

I went through the same quandry when considering a stock for my C96. I decided it was such a grey area that it wasn't worth the risk.

I have a blued, six inch Trooper Mk III in .357 . Love the bluing and balance. The double action trigger is a little heavier than what you would typically find on a Smith, but the single action is astoundingly good. Recommended!

Thanks for the responses. The CMP eligibility requirements says I need to include a copy of my current membership badge or other proof of membership to a CMP Affiliated Organization. Hmmm - perhaps I should use my 2011 badge and a screenshot of my member profile.from the CJRPC website. Worth a try. Thanks!

Just checking to see whether any renewing CJRPC members have received their 2012 member badges yet. I've got a CMP-bound envelope ready to go that is only lacking a copy of my badge. Cheers!

The GunDudes were kind enough to publish a review I did on the Mauser “Broomhandle” C96 (GunDudes Episode 178 on iTunes or http://www.gundudes...._Page_ETY8.html ) I was able to squeeze in a shoutout to Maksim, NJ Gun Forums and Anthony’s Gun for Hire podcast at the very end. I’ve tarnished your reputations forever… Cheers, and have a great 2012! Leth

GFH Radio is great; I've emailed several questions in over the past months and each have been well answered on air. After hearing firsthand the work NJ2AS is doing, I'm gonna join up. Thanks for putting out such a great show, Anthony.

I agree about the hidden nature; that's the best part about these safes. I have a Stack-On safe that, although not an in-wall safe, I use the same principal by hiding it within a wardrobe and bolting it to the floor and wall. They won't stop a crook who has come prepared with tools and the knowledge of its existence, but it will deter the random thief who stumbles across it. Also, if there *is* a theft of your firearms it's a lot better to be able to report to the police "I had my AR15 and WASR-10 stolen from my safe" rather than "I had my AR15 and WASR-10 taken from under my bed where I hide them". A few things from my experience: - Some longarms take up more space than you might initially expect. AR15s and scoped rifles are tall, and sporting shotguns, muzzle-loaders and early military rifles (Mosins and WW1 Mausers) can be longer than expected. Make sure whatever you want to store fits. - Some of the cabinets (like my Stack-On) have rotating locking flanges that are exposed on the inside of the door. If your safe is full and/or something shifts inside the safe against these exposed mechanisms, it's possible for these flanges to jam when trying to unlock the safe. This caused a few choice words when it happened to me. - Don't lean any metal parts of your firearms against those soft-foam pieces all these safes seem to come with. (They're typically cut into a wavy shape to allow barrels to rest within them. The foam attracts and holds moisture and is a sure-fire way to get rust on they metal than contacts the foam. Throw that garbage out. Cheers!

As always, Ray is absolutely correct. (Sorry, Ray - I was inspired by your growing collection of signature quotes. Feel free to add mine ;-)

I'll be there. I have some visitors who will be participating for the first time too. Cheers!

It was a great day. Nice weather, nice people.

Slide release. I've done it countless thousands of times on my Series 70 over the past 20 years with no problems.

Congratulations!

It's not a match, just a fun shoot. Targets are put out on the General Purpose range. Steel gongs for handguns at around 15 yards and electronic knock-down targets out at 200 yards for rifles. Various steel gongs for both rifle and pistol between. Lunch is free, as are the cases and cases of ammo. Good times!

I've participated for the last few years; it's a lot of fun and highly recommended. Typically I loan out my AR and AK. The array of firearms available for use by the Vets is very impressive.

Thanks - I'm gonnna check them out. The Jersey City Mayor gave me $100 via his "cash for clunkers" project to put into a new firearm, so I would love to be able to spend it in a JC gun store.
