What the hell happened that they got so jacked up? I like the shop cuz its on my commute. I used to stop to look around.

I can vouch for the XT-22 YR. Very light and accurate. I wish they still made the stainless version. https://www.marlinfirearms.com/rimfire/xt-series/model-xt-22yr It comes with a single shot mag well insert, as well as a 7 rounder. Can take the Marlin 10 round mags, too. I put in some Williams fire sights. Can be used with Tech Sights, which I have a few sets of and can also recommend. When he outgrows it, I will put it in an adult-sized stock and he will have a nice little 16" barreled bolt gun. I got mine for under $200. If you go with the XT, check the sights carefully before taking possession. The first gun my FFL got in had crooked sights and had to be sent back. My first son started with the Savage youth in a lefty. It was not terribly accurate and we sold it. I have not fondled the Ruger, but it seems to be a great choice, too. The Cricket/Rascal are OK, but there is no room to grow, so to speak. They both will always be single shot youth guns.

Same here. I stop in when in the area. Last visit, I picked up some Glock 19 mags for $17 each.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and homemade burgers dusted liberally with Goya Adobo.

Nice job, Katie. The offer still stands if you want to do some shooting.

Agreed the 3rd book was not as good, but I was in it to finish it.

I found the section on ham radio to be unbearable. Another series I really liked was the "One Second After" books written by William Forstchen. Much better writting than the Patriot series.

NJ also allows handgun transport between home and gun shop and back. Find a gun shop on your way home and stop by to browse. Exempted location...check.

The new Ruger PC Carbine should not fall under any future legislation, as long as they don't ban ALL semi-automatics. No pistol grip, no flash hider.... It is a semi-auto rifle with a removable magazine. I love mine, very accurate and easy to shoot.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with thinking of things past. I bought my first rifle, a Marlin 60, from Effingers in 2010. I worked in Somerville at the time, and stopped in a few times a week to shop. I made a point to buy a box of ammo every time I went in. I was always treated very well. I wish they were still around. I purchased a few firearms from them over the years.

I am sure RU would get a work around for the football team.

We care, brother. That is why we are here.

You are correct, I know of no one who was jammed up over mags alone. Aitken was jammed up, but it was for more than just his hi-cap mags. I don't know if his situation would have been improved with legal mags. I have not been jammed up because everything I have is legal. And everything I own will continue to be legal. Stashing banned mags is a lot less risky than going to the range and shooting with one. I worked at a gun shop/range. I saw some things that were illegal. I would politely and discretely inform the owner that what they had was illegal, they should be very careful and inform them what they needed to do to be within the law. Sometimes they cared, sometimes they didn't. I do not think the NJSP would walk down the line. I would be more worried about a nosey lane neighbor making a scene or summoning local police. Again, where I worked, I saw guys who were super pissed off about the noise of the AR in the next lane while they were introducing their wife to a .22 rifle. I saw guys get into arguments on the range. The wrong guy, on the wrong day, and I could see local police called to report a guy with a hicap mag. Likely...no. Possible...yes. I am not a worrier, or a "what if" kinda guy. I am not judging, preaching, or recommending anything. These are just thoughts that I am adding to the discussion of risk/reward.

Fishnut, Thanks for the offer, but I want my stash of 500 pre-loaded 30 round magazines within bicycling distance for when the zombies come.

Part of me wants to say FU and bury my mags in the woods. Part of me is not interested in testing the new laws. I know, "why would the cops be in my house....how would they find them," etc. The risk of getting caught is low, but the cost of getting caught is high. I really don't want to sell or permanently alter my 15-round Beretta and Sig magazines worth $350. I don't really care about neutering my cheap PMAGs and HexMags. So, how feasible would it be for a group of us to go in together on a small $40 per month storage unit in a centrally located storage facility in, say, Morrisville PA to store our magazines? Buy some cheap shelves, each of us puts our mags in a locking box and there they sit until the laws change (ha) or we all get the hell out of NJ. A small 5x5 unit could hold a lot of mags. Of course, individual access to the unit might be an issue. And someone would need to be in charge of the collecting funds and what not. How much would you pay to store all your soon-to-be illegal mags in PA? I think I would be willing to pay $20 per year. Or is the idea stoopid?

I saw that one. TRS-25 not eligible and it ended on 3/31. Still, a great deal on a great red dot. Thanks for the heads up.

Do you have a link for the rebate? I see nothing on the Bushnell site.

Roger that

They have only been a FFL for a short time. They have been there selling ammo for awhile.

Heal well and let me know when you are ready to shoot.

I took some photos for nj.com at Rinn Duin when they first opened. I got to taste some samples, too. Very Yummy. http://www.nj.com/food/index.ssf/2014/04/on_tap_interview_with_rinn_duin_brewings_chip_town.html

If you want to try it out, let me know and we can meet up at GSSC.

I got very lucky. I got mine from Jersey Sportsman on Rt. 9 in Lacey. Bill, the owner, posted on FB that he took in 4 PCs, 3 were spoken for, 1 was put on the shelf. I stopped into look at it and it was still there 5 days later when I had the cash to make the deal. I could not believe it lasted that long. Bill and his wife Linda are very good people. Stop in to see them & buy a box of ammo. I like having local gun shops around and try to support them as much as possible.

I bought the compliant model....no threaded barrel, 10 round mag. I see no need for a muzzle brake. It is 9mm out of a 18" barrel. Very soft to shoot and no muzzle blast at all.

I was able to get to my indoor range today with my Ruger PC Carbine and all I can say is..... WOW! Sights are right on out of the box. One big, ragged hole at 25 yards. The ergos on this gun are fantastic. So much better than the Beretta Storm, IMHO. The sights make the gun. Not a single failure in 300 rounds of mixed-mag FMJ and HP ammo using Glock 19 mags. This thing is amazing!!! I also brought along my Stainless Ruger 10/22 TD, resting in the Magpul FDE backpacker, equipped with Tech Sights. Again, perfect zero out of the box. I then dialed in the Bushnell TRS25 to co-witness with irons. This is the 4th set of Tech Sights I have purchased. I highly recommend them. If Magpul makes a backpacker for the PC Carbine, I will be the first in line with an open wallet. I am loving the takedown rifle lifestyle! I picked up a used Marlin Papoose last month from Cheyenne that will be my next pet project....cheap, light, packable.
