Troy PAR?

Someone give a shout out here when a) you see one for sale or b) have one in stock.

I think the quick change magwell swap system on the PC is genius in its simplicity. I also think it would be foolish for Ruger to stop with just 2 adapters. I would buy a magwell for each of my 9mm handguns if offered. Heck, I would buy magwells for handguns I don't own if priced reasonably. As long as Glock refuses to make the 9mm carbine that tens of thousands of customers have sworn they would buy, other companies like Kel-Tec and Ruger will fill the void and profit. Ruger is listening to customers more than any other company I can think of and making some really innovative products.

I have had several PCCs over the years. CX4 was my favorite, but I sold it in a time of need and have not been willing to pay $700 to replace it. Was never a fan of the looks of it or the sights, but it shot great. Sub 2K in .40 was not pleasant to shoot. Sold it. Marlin Camp 9 was pleasant to shoot, but I did not care for its quirks. Or cleaning it. Sold it. This one has caught my attention. Reversible mag release and charging handle, glock magazine adapter included, rails, good sights and..... it's a takedown!!! I love my 10-22 takedown with the magpul backpacker stock. Ruger might just get more of my money in the near future.

Maverick 88 is made by Mossberg and is a slightly cheapened 500. I picked one up on sale for $190 today. I have not shot it yet, but it feels identical to my 2 Mossy 500s.

Thanks Howard! Eneloops are the best. Been using them for my speedlights and pocketwizards for years and years. It may be time to refresh the supply.

My 16-year-old son wants a bow for his bday/xmas present. I know nothing about them and could use some NJGF'er wisdom. He is a lefty, already 6' tall, probably on his way to a skinny 6'2" or more. Shooters in LEH says he has a 31" draw. He has been using a hand me down bow from his 5'9" uncle, but that needs $200 to bring it up to snuff and it would still be too small. Not worth it. Any good archery shop recommendations for getting him set up? He just wants to shoot recreationally, with a compound bow, and no hunting at this point. We are going to A&M in Lakewood tonight to look around. We are hoping to get into a beginners bow for $400 or so. Educate me.

I sent my P320c out on the 2nd. They got it on the 6th. I just got notification that the gun is on its way back, eta Wednesday the 15th. So, a 2 week turn around including shipping on both ends. Not too bad at all.

As a photojournalist, I have had the honor of flying on a few WW2 bombers over the years. In 2009, as a Star-Ledger staffer, I photographed Charles Steffens. He served as a B-17 tail gunner during WWII. His family sent him for a flight on a restored B-17 as a birthday present.

I used to go to Stafford Forge WMA at least once a week and I never saw any type of officer. I assume it would be Fish and Game.

WMAs are unmanned and can be a free for all. You are in charge of your own safety and the safety of those around you. If I go and there is a yahoo there, I leave.

If you are willing to go on a little drive, Tanner's in Jamison, PA has both wood and synthetic new for $179. They used to have Kryptec takedowns for 239. If you can wait a month or so, black friday sales usually include a basic 10/22.

Four-kid.

GSP exit 58 puts it about an hour away from you. Worth the trip, IMHO. The staff there is excellent. I do not know who is the trap gun person, but the selection is impressive. http://www.shootersnj.com

Where are you located? Shooters down in southern Ocean County has about the largest inventory of guns that I have seen in NJ.

I like buying my airguns at Walmart in Pa. They ring them up just like toilet paper.

I really appreciate the offer for LE info. My son is only a sophomore, so he has time on his side. This is the 1st year VoTech has allowed sophomores into the Law enforcement program. I have always wondered what guys on the job thought of civilians tooling around in Interceptors.

Thanks for the heads up. He knows that a degree is needed. This Votech program is very cool. He will graduate with 21 OCC college credits in the bag that he can take to any state school. Thanks all. If he wants a Crown Vic, we will look for a civilian model.

My son is going to be driving in a few months. He is enrolled in the Ocean County Vo-Tech Academy of Law and Public Safety, which is a career track high school for kids wanting to enter into law enforcement. He is thinking NJSP or Homeland. I am looking for a first car for him, and saw some low mileage surplus Crown Vics on CL. He would get a kick out of rolling around in that. Any opinions, especially from those who may have used one of these on the job? Are they reliable/safe enough for a first car?

Excellent!!!!!!!

So, is he allowed to operate the FFL out of the Rt. 9 shop?

Bully, I want to get familiar with shooting the rifle with open sights, but a scope option in the future is a real possibility. Can you advise on mounts and rings? Would you post a pic of your rig? I have a Bushnell 1-4 x24mm AR scope with a 30mm tube that I am not using. That magnification would be perfect for this gun. I am not looking to turn it into a precision rifle. If I could accurately hit a man sized target at 300 yards, that would be all I need out of a scope.

Ya, I have a limbsaver that may be going on this if I find the recoil offensive.

Got it in .308, which is exactly what I wanted my next rifle to be in. I love the way the gun points and handles. Might have to swing by R14 this weekend to try her out. The plastic baseplate is a bit warped, so I may replace it with alum or steel.

Tanner's has had this deal for months. I bought that exact rifle back in May or June. They also have the M1 Carbine replica for a similarly low price. I have only had the rifle out a few times, but it is plenty accurate at 50 yards. Maybe not sub moa, but certainly capable of plinking cans and golf balls. I need to get out with it to sight in my red dot.
