Tips has a few Henrys right now.

I sent in a check to EBS a few weeks ago, thinking that was what was needed for this to happen. Now I see others are waiting to send in checks. So, is this a go or not? Was I wrong to send in the money? Is my check going to sit somewhere for months on end only to have this fizzle out? Please update.

Love them out of my bolt actions. Phfffttt......ding. Repeat

Tuckerton is not quite central NJ, but Tips Hardware has quite a few Rugers.

EXIT, Don't beat yourself up. It's only money & they will make more. Enjoy the gun and relax. My first big rookie mistake in a new hobby was much, much more expensive and painful.

Howsabout a Sunday in june? Me and kid A would be in for a cleanup.

Anything goes with a pump action. Bayonets, adj stocks, you name it. It is not a semi-auto, so transfer away!

I can bring a utility trailer behind a giant station wagon. If tony357 can get us clearance to drive vehicles in, I would be happy to spend an afternoon cleaning up the forge. Hell, if he could get me clearance to go in with my car whenever I shoot, I would happily remove a load of trash each time I go. As for the idea that complaints will lead to a shutdown of the forge, I would counter that an organized group of njgf'ers attacking the trash would send a very good message to Fish & Game that we care about our WMA & are willing to put time and effort into making it a better place.

How easy is it to get a vehicle onto the range? Do you need 4wd?

Knob creek if I am flush that week. Makers Mark in a normal week. JD if broke. As for the stuff that kicked my ass in high school that I cannot even smell....Peachtree schnapps.

I would also go with a .22 revolver. With .22LR so scarce, the ability to use .22 short or long is a plus in my book. I see a Ruger single action in my future with my next round of permits.

I'll take 1x 8" and 1x 12". Sending PM now.

I heard back from someone at F&G instantly, which impressed me. 1st response was this... 2nd response was this.... I will keep you posted about any planned improvements or cleanup efforts I hear of out there. David

No NICS. A COE for you and one for the seller that gets filed away by you and seller. No info is sent to anyone. Enjoy!

I just sent F&G a message. This friday is the Barnegat Bay Blitz, a DEP initiative to cleanup the Barnegat watershed area. I have been to few cleanups with school kids and area volunteers picking up trash and such. I know it is last minute and I wish I thought of this last month, but I asked if DEP would deliver a dumpster to Stafford Forge for the Blitz (or any other time). I would be in for a few hours of raking up shells if DEP responds with a dumpster. If more of us showed up, maybe they would be willing to improve the facilities. Let's hope they get back to me.

I have not been to Clinton WMA in a few years, but I remember the rimfire/muzzle loader range is very nice, with several covered benches. Also, never seemed to be too much trash around. I just read that the WMA at Makepeace in Weymouth has been improved with concrete benches. Why is Stafford Forge such a wreck? 2 bullet-ridden, crooked, odd sized tables for rimfire, 6 million shotgun shells and constantly overflowing, bullet-ridden garbage cans. Frankly, I am embarrassed by how some people treat it. I am a firm believer in pack in, pack out. Is it that the parking lot is not right next to the tables, like at Clinton? I would imagine if we could park near tables, like at Clinton or Ft. Dix, people would be more inclined to clean up after themselves. I would love to see improved tables, more stations and much, much less trash. I am going to contact DEP to see what happens. If you agree with me, join me in asking for upgrades. I would even be willing to volunteer to cleanup for a few hours.

Dave, Bayville has always been at least 3 months on p2ps. Good to see they have not stretched it out longer. I am remiss for not having some permits in the pipeline. Of course, I have no money for handguns right now.

I would be interested in 1 or 2, if affordable. Funds are tight here, so cost is a concern. Shape makes no difference. I would assume these would pass inspection at Range 14 for 200 yard plinking?

I am in.

I bought a rifle yesterday. 30 minutes max and I was out the door with my new toy.

Ogfarmer, I appreciate the advice. I alrady have a 795, an XT 22 and a 880, all take the same mag. I have 6 10s and 2 7s, but I could always use more. I buy them when I see them for under $20 a pop. I really did not plan on being a Marlin guy, it just kinda happened. I did not care for my 10/22 or the Savage mk 2, so Marlins it is. I dig the magazine sharing. I do not need another 795...i just wanna tinker with one without risking my good one. If I see any 10s, I will let you know.

Closed Mondays. Grrrr.

I am headed to levittown on errands tomorrow. Any recommendations for a shop with a good selection of rifles? I would love to come home with a new toy, maybe a Marlin 795, without having to play the NJ NICS 10 day waiting period.

...and, 11, because it is one more than 10.

We traded shotguns and Mossberg was very sloooooow with a part to help us complete the swap. He could have ignored me and walked away, buy he stuck it out and made sure Mossberg came thru. I am very happy to have dealt with him. Super, super stand-up guy. Thanks!!!
