Wink wink, I take my son to Stafford Forge WMA down Tuckerton way. You need a hunting license to use the range, but it is sunup to sundown, 365. Hunting license is very easy to get, just a 1 day course. I took mine out at Range 14. I think an indoor range is a bit much for a newby... way too much noise and smoke. Go outside. Another fun thing there is usually you are alone and can have a relaxing time at the range. You can shoot any targets you can think of, like food or old happy meal toys or old pots and pans. No handguns, only rimfires, muzzleloaders and shotguns. They now allow .17 there.

Ah, sorry to spill the secret. They are very pretty.

I think Tip's Hardware has a pair of used ones. At least, they did not too long ago. I did not notice the price. Maybe worth a call.

Getting ready to sight in my first ar. Anyone know where to get that m16 bzo target locally?

My son is an average sized 11-year-old. He has been shooting my S&W 10 .38 revolver for a couple years and loves it. The 92fs is still too stout for him, he cannot work the slide and has trouble remembering what all the levers do. I agree with loading the 9mm with 1 round to see how he does with it.

I was going to go to Range 14 tomorrow to sight in my new AR, but my kid wants to go fishing with pop pop. So, I will bake on a boat in the bay. And I guarantee that I will catch nothing.

Ya, zee cardboard target is on zee stick. Stick goes in zee ground. They have post hole diggers.

I think there is a case option, too. 500 for $130.

Limit of 5. I am new to feeding .223/5.56, so forgive me for linking if this in not a great price. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/591146/tulammo-ammunition-223-remington-55-grain-full-metal-jacket-bi-metal-steel-case-box-of-20

So, I have my first AR and need to gather up some boolits. If you don't mind, what was the going price per round before the great panic? Just basic plinking ammo, Tula, UMC etc.

Too bad .." It uses a fairy standard Browning locking system"... No fairy locking for me, thanks.

Steve, Many thanks. I will do my best to get out on the 20th.

This sounds fun (and affordable) and I own the right gear, but I am not an OBRPC member and I have never shot any match of any kind. Is this beginner friendly? Does this require a holster? What is the course like? How would I go about meeting the 1 OBRPC match requirement? Sorry for the newb questions.

Cool. I cannot decide which one to get. Leaning towards .223 as I really have no need for a 308.

I want to fondle one of these, in either .223 or .308. Anyone seen one around in a LGS?

Re Lavalette, I hate the fact that towns can ignore the 30-day edict, but shore towns that got their teeth kicked in by the storm get a pass in my book for this past winter. They had much bigger things to deal with. A cop on the street preventing looting is a better use of man power, IMHO, than sitting at a desk dealing with NJ's bs paperwork for fid's and p2p's.

I put in for 6 p2ps today. Regina at the desk was as nice as pie. She even let me slide on owing her 25 cents. She says 3 months. We shall see.

Great storm here in Bayville. Sunny and hot. Then dark and windy with tons of lightning. Then sunny and much cooler. Sat on the porch with my boys and watched it all. Lack of a rainbow afterwards was the only thing missing.

Henry, Thanks for the update. I really do appreciate the effort you put into this. Pity it could not be finalized. Take care. David

So, the check that I sent to East Brunswick? If this is still a go, go. If this is dead, kill it. Please, OP, update.

Thanks for the heads up. I am very tired of the local search for .22.

I have not applied for permits in over a year, but Bayville has always taken their sweet time. The excuse they always use is that only one girl does the paperwork, and she is part-time. Before the panic, p2ps took about 4-5 months. I do not even want to know what it takes now.

Okay, that is a lot of Rossi .357 votes. As I have no need for a deer rifle, seems .357 is the way to go. Thanks.

Nothing political at all, but I have decided that black guns are not my thing. I sold off my CX4 to my brother last week, the only gun I had that could be considered "black". Methinks I am a walnut and blue kinda guy. Maybe even a cowboy at heart I am seriously thinking about a Marlin 336 in .30-30 or a 1894 in .357/.38 as my one, and only, rifle. Leaning towards 336. My developing mantra is to keep it simple, ala, "Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it!" I know to look out for the Remlins. I hear they are getting better, but I think I would prefer to hold out for a used, not abused .30-30. I know that .357 is cheaper, but I am not gonna shoot a huge amount of either caliber on a regular basis, so .30-30 should not be too prohibitively expensive. Opinions?

I am a proud .22 fanatic. My favorite rifle is my Marlin 795. I put it in a walnut stock, it wears tech sights and has the DIP trigger kit. Very light and accurate. My favorite handgun is my Browning Buckmark. I wish I could afford an AR and a steady diet of centerfire ammo.
