BillC.

saw that on TV, He was holding single shot, Anschutz .22 RF Olympic target rifle and the press was calling it an assault rifle

On the way way out of town he clobbered a bridge 200yds from my tree stand. No suprise that it happened at the inn. Am suprised that that anyone even knows about neshanic, much less how many are in the area.

Winchester sold spring loaded stocks on shotguns way back in the 60's. Not even a new idea

Yep Winchester airguns were rebadged Diana's ( US importer RWS). The 353 is a normal break barrel spring pistol (Diana 5) and the 363 a recoilless dual piston design (Diana 6). Both are well built as are all Diana"s. The 5 is a straight forward springer that has been around is one variation or another since the 1930's. The Diana 6 was state of the art in the 60's. The dual piston design has two pistons moving in opposite directions to cancel the momentum of the compression piston. Dual piston airguns changed the face of Olympic and US airgun competition. If you have ever shot both you'll understand why.

We duck hunt in the bay at Mystic without any problem. Never been looked at, just lucky I guess. Of course that's in cold weather, and yea might be different in the summer. There are signs posted on the creeks on the Mystic side that inform you that you are entering a hunting area. Plenty of places in the back of Great bay that are out of the way. Ask local law enforcement. duck hunting is boats and guns

Morehead City and Beaufort N.C. are near Marine Corps Station Cherry Point and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Having lived there, thanks to Uncle Sam, it is very safe.

What Remington had before the M700. 721 long action,722 short action. Oldie but good, as a straight up hunting rifle they have been getting the job done for a long time. Yea I'd have no problem hunting with one. The 30-06 isn't bad for recoil 12ga shotguns kick a lot harder.

If you booked a hunt the booking agent should be able to fill you in on what is required

Any rifle legal for groundhog should be ok. We use AR's for groundhog now so no problem, just don't have more then 5 rounds in the mag. 10/15 rnd mags are ok and do not need to be blocked. (that 3 shot thing is for waterfowl hunting) Airgun hunting, very cool. Now we will start to see higher end airguns taken seriously by local gun shops. (gamo ain't one) Airguns are great for small game. Now lets get Big Bore airguns for deer legal.

Go look at an F-class match. Lots of Savage's. M700 may have been the standard, a long time ago, after much rework.

Buddy on W. Patomac off Twin lakes. Three feet in house

Got lucky our power was only out 12 hrs, so I could take my generator to my mom. need more gas cans, couple more Mag Lite LED's And another generator for my mom. My power came back on. Took the gen to my Moms, got her all set up. Returned home to no power. Luckly it was only off a couple hours and came back on before dark

Who and Where do we call/write to make positive commemts about the proposals Airgun small game, it's about time. Next bigbore airgun for Deer

Buck shot for drives, slugs when hunting solo. Buckshot has no advantage except safety due to lesser range. Unless you like shot up meat.

I have a Timney 3lb and am happy with it but having tried my brothers Geissele I say its a bit better. But not enough that I'm going take my Timney out. I got the Timny for a lot less then a Geissele. My Timney has a hint of creep or 2nd stage (1 stage trigger) but better then the 10/22's I have with Volquartsen hammer / shears. No way do either come close to a good bolt action trigger. Want to try a good trigger? pick up a well set up air rifle. my Beeman R1 is breaking at 14oz

And the chance the both barrels shoot to the same point of aim are ? Bolting two barrels togeather is just the begining, making them shoot is the real trick

eh, forty years is nothing. BUT if there is question, its best to ask someone with more knowledge. Look them over before and see if the pro finds something you diddn't. As far as age goes two weekends ago I was shooting two Springfields one114 years the other 91 years old and a Remington pump 22rf built before WW1. All shoot better then I can due to old eyes and iron sights. Got a buddy with an Trapdoor Springfield shooter that goes back over 130 years for the conversion on a muzzle loader that was built in the 1860's. And know of a couple muzzle loaders that have been shooting for over 175 years.

Why not just do it yourself? Not hard, most are easy to dissemble even semi auto. All you need is a cleaning rod,old tooth brush, solvent and oil. Rifles dont go bad sitting,even if they look neglected. Your going to need the cleaning supplies anyway if you start shooting it. Its not like your going to blow your self up with a rimfire

Dont forget, "Rifle permit required when hunting with rifle"

A .223 is one of the best NJ varmint rounds and is plentiful and inexpensive . If your after groundhogs stick with the .22 cal 50-55gr ammo. Better terminal effect ( spectacular blowup) and more stopping power. The heavy stuff just punchs a .22 hole and the hog escapes. A 50 gr V-max or TNT will have no problem out to 300yds, most likely further then you'll ever shoot in NJ. Also don't overlook the .22 Hornet if your shooting in a more restricted area. 22-250 and 222 also work just as well but ammo cost will be higher and a bit harder to find. What ever your choice realize that the trigger is more important then the action and scope is going to have to be up to the job of seeing small targets. Lots of times the only shot is half of a head sticking out of a hole. I like scopes in the 4-12 or 4-16 range. I have 6-24 power scopes but most times the lack of field of veiw and eye relief are more trouble then they are worth. and oh yea, those heavy barrel varmint rigs get real heavy to tote around on a 90 deg day so you may want to think about a rig with a sporter weight barrel. I know that I almost never shoot my heavy barrel rig anymore. and your gonna need a good set of binoculars

Back in the day, when I was in boot camp the armoror would dump Pennzoil 30wt straight into the action through the ejection port during full auto shoots. Just a thought. I use CPL and LSA myself.

Glock has a magazine block for the G-17 mags that limit them to 15 rounds. They used to be free to glock owners in NJ,all you had to do was ask. I got the ones that I have from Lawman Supply a couple years ago. Easy enough to install and they were the approved way of making a G-17 NJ legal.

Great transaction with Ken " 9th Marines". Item accurately described, great photos and quick reply made Ken a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Ken!

I'll take it. PM follows
