Also interested in the papoose.

2nd Shawshank. One of the greatest movies ever IMO.

Length of camo rifle case?

It is sold pending funds. A forum member is waiting on permits. I will let you know if that deal falls thru.

Kaiser, Last I heard, Tips if turning the current shop on Rt. 9 into hardware store only. A new gun shop, with indoor rifle/pistol and archery range, is going up on Rt. 539, just off of the GSP exit 58. I see this place making a fortune during the annual Duck and Decoy show. No word on opening date.

I think I saw one at Brick Armory earlier this week.

L&H on Rt 35 in Belmar had a surprising number of used revolvers when I stopped in on Wednesday.

Price adjust.

I find that the shooting of a revolver is much more fun and relaxing than a semi-auto. Shoot 6, dump 6, load 6, repeat. I enjoy the tactile feel of loading the rounds into the cylinder (weird, I know). I find the reloading of magazines to be a chore and I go thru ammo much slower with a wheel gun. With a revolver, I get into a very nice, easy going rhythm. As for ammo cost, .38 vs. 9mm, I am waiting on an order of .38 from a professional reloading outfit. The ammo is 11.50 per 50, about the same price as 9mm. I will post up a review when I shoot it. If it shoots good, I may just stop buying 9mm and load up on .38. Also, deals are to be had in the revolver market. I just bought a 6" SS Ruger Security Six .357 for $250. The gun is a thing of beauty. Last month I bought a 4" S&W 19 for $260 that has a great deal of holster wear from the State Trooper who sold it, but it shoots like a dream. Keep your eyes open and you may stumble into something.

So, what is the walk-on rate for Brick Armory?

Price adjust $219 gun without walnut grips. $245 with.

Another vote for Delorenzo's. The original location on Hudson in Trenton shut down last month. The hamilton location on 33 is just as good. Nothing in the world is like a tomato pie.

I got the discount on Tuesday also. My opinion about Shore Shot has been declining for many months now. This kinda seals the deal. A few employees there are great, but I have never liked how the owner or his kid treated me. i am not looking to be best friends, but I appreciate a business owner who seems interested in interacting with me. I stopped in on Friday morning to look at a Buck Mark and I stood at the rimfire counter for 10 minutes without any offer of assistance. I was a once-a-week shooter. I let my membership lapse last year because of a job loss. The forum discount was a nice touch that I appreciated. I guess I now have a reason to check out the BA range. I know BA has had some bad blood with NJGF in the past, but the guys behind the counter have always treated me well when I stop in to cruise the used guns. BTW, I am very much looking forward to the Tip's opening up down south. The Gormleys are good people.

Updated with more info......

It sure beats a wood dowel. Do I need to add that Godzilla is not included in the sale?

WTS S&W 22a pistol, 7" I wish to sell my Smith and Wesson 22a with a 7" barrel. I purchased it new in 2010. Gun runs very well with MiniMags, Federal bulk or CCI bulk. Shoots lead or copper plated without fail. Super easy gun to take down and clean. I estimate round count at 2,463. Comes with box, manual, 3 10 round magazines, spare buffer. It is currently wearing an aftermarket Altamont walnut grip that sells new for $60. See here... http://www.altamontco.com/products/pistol/smith_and_wesson/22A/index.php Original plastic grip is included. Asking $265. First public "I'll take it" followed by a PM gets it.

No, you do not need your own gun. If you have one, you can bring it. Watch the video at home, fill out the practice book, attend a hunter education class (I went to Ft. Dix), shoot 3 rounds they supply out of a shotgun they supply (to prove you can safely handle a gun) and take a written, mutiple guess test. It was very easy. The class was mobbed, but it only took a couple hours. They give you a paper that you use to buy your hunting license at a store. Renew every year. Shoot shotgun, muzzleloader and .22 rifle free at a WMA, 7 days a week, dusk to dawn.

You need a hunting license for the WMAs. .22 rifle, muzzleloader and shotgun only. My favorite place to shoot is the WMA at Stafford Forge, Ocean Co. Clinton WMA has benches and a roof. Located just off 22/78. Very nice place.

If I wanted to go on a SHTF practice trip, I would want to bring along a firearm, even if only a .22 rifle. So I guess that would mean a hiking/camping trip in a free state. Ideally I would want to wear a handgun and carry a rifle. Is the App Trail gun friendly?

Some indoor ranges do not allow for steel cased ammo. When Remington UMC goes on sale at Dick's for around $11, I try to stock up. A cool website is Ammoengine.com. A good way to get a quick education on what costs what. I always thought I wanted a .30/30 until I saw how cheap 7.62 x 39 was.

I believe that most of the fire trails in the Pinelands are ok to buzz around on. Thanks for the advice, Blue.

I vote for selling the car, financing a used truck, and taking it all with you.

I do not want to hijack this thread, but I have newbie offroad questions, too. I used to take my '78 volvo 242GT on the fire trails in Lacey and Waretown as a teen and would like to go out again (without the getting stuck part.) I am looking for a "snow & tow" vehicle to pull a pop-up camper and maybe take out woodsin' with the kids. I have no plans to go on the beach. I will probably look for a 10 year old or so Explorer or the like. A good looking '02 Mountaineer caught my eye the other day. Is the Mountaineer's AWD sufficient for Ocean Co. sugar sand, or should I stick with a truck with 4wd Hi and Lo? I assume the Explorer would be capable.

I photographed the architect/owner on the roof when it was built, around 2000 or so, for the paper I worked for at the time. The inside was much more impressive than the outside, IMHO. Ah, black and white film. How I miss thee.
