I just applied for pistol permits online using Berkeley Township's ORI and all went well. Paid my $21. Forgive my confusion, but does this online app also do the Mental Health Background check? EDIT>>> Disregard my question. I found my answer in FAQ section... All applicants are required to go to their municipal police department to sign the Mental Health Check form.

My son is 17. We are in the process of building a lower for him. The plan is for him to have an AR ready to transfer to him for when he gets his FPID next year. As for the Upper...... I have a stripped upper in the safe, but..... I have a line on a used, NJ compliant, SpecOpsTactical upper, mid-length gas system, with BCG and CH, for $400. I cannot see how I can beat this deal by buying parts ala carte. I see some PSA carbine length uppers for about $300, but they need NJ compliance work. Opinions?

I see it like this.... Before you knew the gun existed, did you have sufficient funds to live comfortably? No....... sell the gun and ammo. If yes, then pretend the gun does not exist and lock it away for a rainy day. I don't know the gun, but if people here say it is collectible, it should not depreciate over the years and may be worth more money in the future. Think of it as an investment. If the gun is worth $1000 today, it very well may be worth $2000 in 10 years. If you do get into shooting in 5, 10, 20 years.... you very well may regret selling the gun. I say clean it, oil it and store it away properly with the ammo for it. You can sell off the ammo you don't want here. EDIT..... And do be mindful of magazines for the gun. If they hold more than 10 rounds, they are illegal and could jam you up in they are ever discovered.

I have lived within 4 miles of Barnegat Bay since I was 10. Locals do not go on the water on weekends if they can help it.

I do. I am into the boat about $100 and 10 hours of labor so far. I am working on it with kid, so that is a plus. The benches are done and ready to be installed.....donated 1" Mahagony from my carpenter brother, covered in spar varnish. Transom is ready to install. Hull and inside are painted. She should be ready to go when the weather warms up, I just need a trailer. I may just throw on the utility this year and see how it goes. Who knows, I may love going out on the bay and just taking a nap on it.

He brought it over on a utility trailer. I do have a utility trailer, but converting it to boat duty seems like a PITA. I think I would rather have a dedicated boat trailer. It is a simple aluminum hull jon boat in good shape, all things considered. The kid is now 17. When he leaves home, the boat gets sold if am not in love with it.

For 10+ years, my FIL wanted to give me a fixer-upper 14' Starcraft boat. For 10+ years, I said no. I do not fish, I have no desire to own a boat and I don't want a fixer upper. So, he gives it my 16-year-old son last year. The boat appeared in my driveway before I could say "WTF!?!" My son has no money, so now I own....... a fixer-upper 14' Starcraft boat. It is a simple V hull, 3 bench fishing boat. It did come what I am told is a nice running 9 HP outboard. It needed a complete strip down to primer to get the 43 layers of flaking brushed paint off & a repaint. The benches, floatation and transom need to be replaced. Thanks pop! And it came with no trailer. From my interwebbing, it looks like a 15-16' trailer with simple carpet-covered bunks is all I need, perhaps with a centerline roller or 2. Web says I should keep the bow about 30" from car, and the boat should hang over the back of the trailer by a foot or so. Does this sound correct? I am trying to find a cheapo trailer on CL or FB and need to know what I should look out for. Any advice? And, of course, if you have a trailer that fits this description, lemme know.

Bad post. SOrry

No credit cards. No in store pickups. They are not trying hard to win my business.

And 1 of the cops has been shot twice before! https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Unnamed-senior-officer-wounded-in-shooting-has-13570049.php

Not new to owning or shooting my AR, but new to replacing spring loaded parts on my AR. Whilst unscrewing the comm-spec buffer tube, I forgot to contain the buffer tube detent......PEW! Methinks I launched that puppy into low orbit. I heard clicks and echoes all over the basement. Funny thing is I found 2 springs during the rescue operation. I am confident 1 of them is the right spring, just don't have any idear which one it is. No detent. I will restart the search mission at daybreak, but I am not hopeful. It's like searching for an airliner in the ocean. You read about it, but until it happens to you, it is only words on a screen. Are those 2 parts sold local, or do I need to go to fleabay? I can get 2 sets for $5 shipped, so no big deal...... just annoying.

I am hoping the Ruger PC carbine gets some new magazine inserts (Beretta 92 and Sig 320?) and perhaps a caliber conversion. And some aftermarket support, especially from MagPul w/ a backpacker style stock. And the retro Mossberg 500 is interesting.

Not true. I worked at a NJ FFL. My boss had a customer come in with at P2P and was denied NICS. My boss said that NICS is a deeper check than P2P. Customer was not pleased. Which begs the question.... What the hell good is a P2P? Was P2P designed to CYA for a FTF sale? IDK, is that too many acronyms?

The only good change with the new Murphy anti-gun laws are that the Marlin 60 and other semi-auto, tube-fed rifles are no longer held to magazine restrictions. I purchased a 17-round tube Marlin 60 recently from a NJ FFL. Lever/Bolt/Pump action guns were never part of the magazine restriction.

If you can wait a bit, a new Honda SUV is coming out in the spring, the Passport. https://automobiles.honda.com/future-cars/passport?ef_id=1:1:1&CID=SEARCH_HON_GOOGLE_MY19PASSPORT_BRD&gclid=CjwKCAiA3vfgBRB9EiwAkfpd3NLBQ09sOS9zkwpfdZPSTFEnYHNSaXhRhWnXqsVgrVT97TK_d4SoqRoCVOMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&?gclid=CjwKCAiA3vfgBRB9EiwAkfpd3NLBQ09sOS9zkwpfdZPSTFEnYHNSaXhRhWnXqsVgrVT97TK_d4SoqRoCVOMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds I have read it is the same drivetrain as Pilot...V6, FWD or AWD, but only 2 rows of seats and is shorter than Pilot. My wife has the 2015 CR-V and so far it has been a great car. She is at about 90K miles. I was always a Honda guy, have owned 3, but my last 2 cars have been Toyotas and I feel they are a little bit better than Hondas in all respects.

Same here. I have been a R14 member for nearly 10 years and never ever has a RO approached me about my equipment, including 15/30 and 15/20 mags, other than to ask "what is that?". I find the ROs at R14 to be fantastic. The guy in the tower can be a bit of a pill sometimes, but the guys on the line are AOK.

At Range 14, you can shoot your rimfire on the 50 yard pistol line. That would get you away from the big noisy guns on the rifle range.

That one is a 1989 with a long tube, long barrel. I also have a 2002 short tube, long barrel and the SB with short tube short, barrel. So many 60s to collect.

Griz is right..... The original Marlin 60 is now good to go. I bought a long-tube 60 with last-shot hold open from a NJ dealer in the spring for $90. That makes my 3rd 60. The first gun I ever bought was a pre-Remlin 60 SB in 2010. I sold it to Griz a few years back. I got it back from him in a trade and will never part with it again. Thanks again, Griz. It's hard to say no to a good 60.

Rough Rider is a gate-loaded single action gun. The 617 is a mini-me to your 686. If I wanted a .22 revolver, I would go on the hunt for a used Ruger Bearcat, Single Six or Single Ten.

If I recall correctly, these 3 guys accidentally crossed the NJ border into NY, hence the shit storm.

Got tired of waiting around for Mossberg and decided to gamble $30 at Numrich on a used set of wood. It is not a corncob style fore end, but the set matches and does appear to be walnut. I am very pleased.

I have found most dealers will give you a price over the phone. Buying from out of state may not be cheaper after you figure in shipping and the transfer fee. Each dealer sets its own transfer fee, some as high as $50. NICS is charged either way and costs about $16. She has picked a wonderful gun. I should have bought a PPQ with my last permit.
