I thought there was some talk about setting up 25 yd targets for 22 only at the 100yd range but i havnt seen them and keep forgetting to ask a RO about it. Anyone know about this, couldnt find any info on the CR web site.

I gots what you need- sending pm

Yup- looks just like the one on my old Mossberg. And when I was restoring it several yrs ago that indexing tang/.spring was the only pc I needed to replace as it had a crack in it. IIRC found it at Havlins after putting out a APB for it- great people there. They got back to me and said they found one in one of their misc buckets. If you have trouble there is also all the gun forums that are dedicated to certain manfacturers that would love to help bring an old shooter back to life. Good luck and enjoy.

At Sportsmans Guide(member price) with free s/h code SH434. Thats only &16.65 box o 50 to your door. Got mine.

Quirky is right! quirky dis-assembly, re-assembly, sticky mag, having to man handle & beat the thing with a hammer/pin(sometimes) to work on and the inherant risk of trouble from slamming the mag in backwards which seems to happen unfortunatly. However it does seem to operate very nice and is accurate. I have no prob taking it down and back together its just another gun with its own charecter. It just isnt a good fit for my wife who can pull the trigger on it but wont be able to maintain it thus the need for a revolver which she will be able to clean easy enough. And I must admit i am guilty of making the 22/45 look harder to work on in front of her so she sees the wisdom of getting the 22 revolver

I extended a permit for the first time about a month ago. Went in 3-4 days prior to expiration and talked to the Lt as the Chief was out(more later) and Lt said it must be re-newed before it expires, not after as it is, well, expired and not good anymore. Think he even mentioned its not legal to re-new after the kill date. I let that conversation die as I was interested in seeing the chief, the guy who actually signs the papers.Where was he? On vacation using up accrued vacation/sick days because he just "retired" and may be down at the shore on his boat! Starting to get that un-easy feeling now. Ok, can the acting chief sign? No, has to be the original signee. Un-easy feeling turning angry. Trying not to seem po'd I asked what now?! They said to leave the pp and see what happens.Not having much of a choice thats what I did and get a miraculous phone call 2 hrs later that my pp is ready. picked it up, no questions asked and just happy I didnt have to deal with that potential little sh*tstorm.

Having taken my new 22/45 out of the box last week for a "quick" field strip /re-assembly, to the range and back and cleaning it my desire for a 22 revolver is now stronger! I got this 6 months ago to fill my want for a in-expensive plinker & wife friendly gun and it is a fun gun but has too many little annoying complexities but like everthing else will become routine over time. I will def do the bushing swap but thats it as anything else defeats the purpose of a cheap plinker. Way too complex for wifey so revolver is next. One thing I did notice was during the dis-assembly the bolt pin of course had to be banged out but the barrel came off very easy, no whacks to it, practically fell off, is that a concern? Gun has been taken apart a few times and doesnt seem comprimised at all.

I've never bought into the idea of paying for range bags. I use large, sturdy gym/duffle bags that can be found at garage sales for $2 or even 50 cents. They can last years. Preferably with separate pockets for all the odds & ends.If I'm bringing a bunch of HGs I dbl them up in the foam cases but wrap them in socks first. And always bring some kind of drink & snack, cant focus with a rumbling belly.

See that? already got our attention, the vultures move in fast around here. Get it in the Marketplace! (btw, if its a .22 wheely pm me )

barrels and barrels of brass! I'm starting to see thru the hidden agenda here! LOL

Igotta laugh at this cause I promised myself not to get all bent up over CR's blundering and as long as I can happily do what I signed up for... My own thoughts are that they jumped too fast on this one and then got nervous about wetlands encroachment but only the select few know the real answer and some accountability would be too much to ask for. Look at the bright side, maybe additional parking or place to put storage trailers. The Doppler radar is issuing a Sh*tstorm alert.

LOL ! delayed or just done/ not doing?

I guess i mis-read your post and it sounds like the 5 stand was not in use while you where there? So Tom let me ask you this, were the shooters w their own throwers shooting out of the screened ports or from their port w the thrower? Could get interesting if a 5 stand guy wanted to use a screened port already taken.....

so how was the range at its most "crowded" time? Seems like some of the throwers would be controlled at the same time by dif partys? Is there a courtesy time to give up your port if another shooter wants to try it out? sounds distracting as heck getting ready to pull and someone else beats you to the thrower you're about to let go on.not to mention trying to concentrate and seeing other birds flying across your field. Haven't done it yet but hoping for this week. Maybe this is all SOP for clays i have no idea on this sport as far as range etiquite.

And how much of the damage to your car was pre-existing?

you need some blood splatter on the walls.

at Cheaper Than Dirt item#41176 Hurry only had a few $12.40 I had these on please notify- s/h sux...

someone said is Its something like facebook, whatever that is

finally!-something eagles worth yappin about (as I'm wearing my Giants shirt)

In the near future my son & I will prob try out above range and I'm just looking for a few tips on use, such as how the target set-up works and any other protocal that may help.I know the hrs are dif per yrds but anything else so as not to hold up the line, if any.Will be on a weekday so may not even be other shooters. Thanx.

Cameras and gates and locked brass - oh my! In reality I dont really care. Cameras, got nothing to hide. Gate? keep out the freeloaders(if any?) And the LOCKED brass,I save mine& I'm SURE its going to go to a WORTHY cause like Wounded Warriors etc, cant POSSIBLY be to line the pockets of CR or even a enterprising RO could it? I still love shooting there its got all I need, even the occasional busybody, dont mind a little chat every now & then. Weekdays only and no regrets.BTW- we'll prob(?) see a little footnote sooner or later in the newsletter about the brass brl.

Wow. lotta anger issues here. You still upset about losing the war? The North won that one 150 yrs ago!

http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19030-restoring-old-rifle-advice/ Hey C- you're gonna have a lot of fun bringing an old shooter back to life! Look at the pics on posts #17 & 18 on a old Mossberg 22 that my dad got in 1954 that was another ole rusty-crusty to see what a lot of elbow grease can do. Nothing like the feeling of finishing it then taking it out to visit the range. Enjoy.

CR is a great bargain. Its a beautiful range in the great outdoors surrounded by hills and woods. No indoor clock ticking over your shoulder and a proper place to use your long guns vs an indoor room. Yea its lacking in the action games but since I cant run & anything its perfect for me and if you can do weekdays you can sometimes have the place to practically yourself. As far as the "dogging" the place I think thats typically on the administrative end not the actuall facilities which are well maintained. You should take a look yourself shouldnt be a prob if you just show up and watch. Any other ?'s just ask.

Nice exchange.He's one of the good guys for sure, the handsome part?......
