My wife and I where at the same mall as Dick's last night so I (we) wandered in and was looking at the gun sales. Did a little mindmeld with my SO about the nice $119 price , half joking, and she said go for it.So I did as it was the last semi but was too late for the phone call and I need to go back later today for pick-up. Did most of the paperwork but didnt pay yet.So, being a spur of the moment buy I didnt do any research on this little .22 rifle. Now that i have I see its not getting the most favorable reviews, so-so at best. Anyone here have one and care to share your experience/opinion?

Our family has been on that bandwagon for years and it is suprisingly difficult to find born & made in the USA outside of the food industry which of course has its large share of imports too. However the need to be fiscally practical comes to play such as %80 off at Kohls! Also we may see made in Canada and out of exhasperation we say close enough! But we do try as best we can.

Yea guys, I'm not concerned about the rust etc, thats an envioromental issue worthy of another discussion. Im looking for a sock thats not cheap,thin but has a material of some substance for protection from dings,scratches from moving around. Dont want to buy some and say wtf is this garbage.

Any brands that stand out as better than others and any ones in particular too cheap to bother with?

OK, done.

Yea, can relate to most everything there and I gotta throw in the ole family station wagon! Sounds funny even saying it now. I spent every summer in the 60's & some 70's traveling around the country with my parents , 3 bros and a dog visiting family and friends in those old war wagons.

Yes,that is purely hypothetical, of course.

Thats what I was afraid of. Guess I'm, SOL if I want to legally bring his sg to the range while he's deployed. Was hoping there was some loophole that because it was his originally (after 1st coe transfer) he could get it back w/o FID Unless- does anyone know of what the "temp transfer" is or is that still moot cause of him lacking the FID?

EDIT (lol) and he has duel residency -NJ & other state

Sorry, let me be more specific- we swapped in NJ when he came here prior to leaving.

Lets say an out of state relative or freind is going away for 6 months or so and wants a NJ person to hold on to his shotgun for that duration for safe keeping, and "oh by the way feel free to take my shotty to the range".Nice, so we do a quick COE exchange and I have fun at the range for 6 months. He comes back and now of course wants his gun back.But- he does not have a NJ FPID card. Now of course we can just rip up the COE's,I give him back the gun and thats that- or is it? Did we just commit a crime by transferring a gun to someone without a NJ FPID card?

his sight says no new work/2 yr wait!

have you considered just changing the main & trigger springs? they're only a few dollars and fairly easy to do. They come in a assortment pack from Wolf and I believe Midway (or Brownells)has them ,I did it a ways back on my GP100 and it did make a small dif.- that and a hi-viz sight. Worth a shot and a heck of a lot cheaper than custom smith work.BTW- the action will smooth out over time at least mine did.

awesome groups! I too had my Mosin out at the 100 the other day and, well, nevermind...

Note to self: when hearing bad guy busting down door ask for a 30 min time-out so I can re-read all this "stuff" so I know what the fugg to do! How many times did I read "has a duty to retreat" then read "does not have a duty to retreat"?

Cant wait to here this one.Definetly near the top of my list of wanting more info/clarification on NJ's vague gun law interpretations. BTW, your talk shows are great, I listen to them when I clean or putz around my guns. My daughter saw me in the basement doing this one day and (jokingly) called me a redneck sicko!

just print some off your computer or use paper plates whatever. dont waste a trip there unless you got somewhere else to be

bring money & ID and some extra patience. If you're gonna shoot you'll need the obvious ears, eyes...and for the pistol & 50/100 yds need a target frame, they sell em right there( bring targets, tape/staples) for i think $25 or make your own, the plans are on their website somewhere.The .22 only range you dont have to have a target and can shoot the various plates on site Welcome and have fun!

Yep- my go to FFL too now, doesnt charge a premium for a new gun transfer (vs old) and also he's 3 mins from me. Again, his hrs are limited, no Sats and likes to leave early Fri's to go to Pa but did accomodate my "late" arrival on a Fri around 2:30-3:00.

You say structure, thats kind of vague, what is it that you may have done that might require a permit- new electric, plumbing etc.? Did you remove/replace any strucural supports? Frame in new walls? Make sure whatever you did does indeed need a permit. A good realtor would have been able to point any un-finished issues out to you before a sale. Could also be he's just trying a last minute shake-down. BTW, does the town need to issue you a CO before you can sell it?

like any building project site location is a major factor too. hi & dry helps. Mine was rock solid for 15 yrs till we dis-mantled it and re-built it at my bros house. Never moved or sank but I tend to over compensate, my 8x8 ties were lapped at the crners and a spike driven thru.

i picked one up from 84 Lumber yrs ago and it was solid , true dimensional. Definitly build on landscape ties for foundation. I laid heavy plastic underneath and a little gravel on top to help keep out moisture from the ground.

watched 3 dexter dvd's with my wife getting drunk on tequilla and then.....woke up on the couch this AM! just found out will be entertaining my in-laws till their power comes back

I am SO glad I am not limited to weekend shooting! You think Sats/Sundays are booked & crowded now? Kinda brings to mind an old song, something about Paradise and a parking lot (wheres that flame suit of mine?) But,I go on weekdays only and cant particepate in those type events anyway so go for it. Just take care of the existing ranges before you tear down the mountains and trees. Speaking of, free firewood?
