4evah Actually, I don't know, but if you trick yourself into expecting it in 6 months you'll usually be pleasantly surprised.

The round is extracted and ejected when cycling via the slide or during firing. Griz is saying the round is not ejected when tipping open the barrel like it would be on a break open ejector shotgun. Your options for clearing the chamber in an emergency are to rack the slide or tip open the barrel and remove the round manually, but not both at the same time.

No need to re-register anything, you will just need a new FID. You will need to go through the application process again.

Holy God. Jeeeeeez. So apparenly bath salts reduce you to a state of severe autism? He went from hysterical deranged laughing to death stare like *that*.

I bet that if you're unhinged enough to threaten deadly force in response to a fart, you're not the kind of person who's going to go through the permit process. Edit: Or he might be going senile.

I assume what I'm hearing is what everyone else is hearing. I would describe the buffer noise of my AR as a "THWURR". Shot a Bushmaster that sounded similar, but not quite the same. Both had a standard A2 stock.

What's the big deal with a sproing noise? I always thought it came with the territory. I kinda like the unique sound of my rifle.

I have had my eyes on a Pietta 1851 Confederate Navy for a while now, because I like the brass frame (yes, I know, light loads and everything). Would it be a good starter BP revolver?

Hate to be the wet blanket, but it can indeed hurt to try. Upon being denied a NJ CCW permit, you will forever be required to answer "yes" to questions such as "have you ever been denied a gun permit" that tend to appear on other states' CCW applications. Personally, I'm not comfortable with being required to explain that detail for the rest of my life. This is probably the reason why there hasn't been any staged "mass CCW apply" protest actions in NJ.

I will add to what Smokin .50 said; the difference in barrel length has nothing to do with the velocity of projectile like it would in a handgun or rifle. Longer barrels are used for clays and wingshooting because they swing better/more smoothly than a short barrel. Turkey barrels are shorter because you don't need to swing them, but unlike a HD barrel they have a tight choke. I doubt you will see much of a difference in longevity between an 870 Express and a Wingmaster; the Wingmaster is more expensive due to finishing and some of the parts.

I second pics on the RIA

+1 to that, I think that about sums up how I feel about it

All right then, how's this? I asked the seller what happened to the frame. He replied: The frame was destroyed by court order. Thanks

One of my shooting buddies is an ex cop who told me about a report of a gunshot he responded to. It was a suicide and I guess the mental image of his description stuck in my mind. Maybe I'm seeing something that's not there but when I considered it a possibility it gave me chills regardless.

I've already made up my mind, just looking to see how others feel about the subject

I was searching around gunbroker looking for parts to build a mutt 1911. I came across this, and at first I was intrigued/interested because they are Colt parts and the price seemed pretty good. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=291347403 I figured some finish damage is no big deal for a starter project, but when I took a closer look at the photos, the probable source of the finish damage hit me-- it looks like it was used in a suicide. Now, that's an assumption, but for me, it's a non-starter. There's just something deeply unnerving about owning a pistol that was used in a suicide and it's a complete dealbreaker. The logical part of my mind says it's just an inanimate object, but there's some other part that is strongly averse to it. Yet, at the same time, I am am perfectly comfortable owning a milsurp rifle that has more than likely been used in wars and to take human life. Sobering to think about, but it's part of the gun's history. Once there's blood pitting involved, though, things get a bit more visceral. How do you feel about the subject? Dealbreaker or not, and where is the line for you?

Pm sent.

Every once in a while I make a pilgrimage to Master Class in Monroe, NY and stock up. They have fair prices, and very good prices on lead boolits, $34/500 for 230 gr .45 (though you can only buy 2 boxes per visit). I realize that's probably not a good option for you, since it would be somewhere around 2 hours away. It's 1 hour for me, but I like driving and it's slightly cheaper than paying for shipping/hazmat.

LOL Pics or it didn't happen, Anselmo.

Need higher resolution pics!

Pretty good price. Make sure your gun can stabilize the longer bullet before you drop the cash on it.

Never experienced that issue, but I would follow up with UPS if only to bring some accountability to the table.

I'll take the .38 brass... how much to ship?

Totally with you on that one...

Can't answer your other questions, but you need a P2P to buy one and it's very much illegal to convert your 10/22 to a pistol.
