I wish I had bought the SAR 2 I saw for sale, but NICS checks were taking a long time already that Sat, didn't want to wait that long.

Harrisburg can have it's good moments, but it ain't what it used to be. It's also a hike and the $8 parking a mile away from the entrance also are big turnoffs. I usually only go to the March show if I go at all, the summer show is not worth the while. Oaks is also a drive but has free parking and better vendors these days.

As long as the transfer cost is reasonable, do the transfer in NY, they don't charge for NICS over there.

Nowadays Oaks is a bigger and better show.

I've heard of people in states like AZ doing it, but not in NJ. I'd be careful trying this in NJ, the people standing in line at the buy back are more than likely already in violation of NJ's travel exemption statue by bringing firearms to a buy back (not an exempted destination). You could theoretically get charged with that or an illegal transfer if you handled a firearm to look at it (would be a bit difficult to check condition otherwise) and handed it back to them. I too would like to know if anyone has tried, and what the reaction of the authorities running it was.

IIRC, it's required in some states (TN comes to mind) that all (non NFA) firearms must be sold (rather than destroyed) when the police are done with them, this includes guns that were held in evidence.

The DSA SA 58 is legal if you buy a NJ compliant model (no bayo lug, muzzle brake instead of a suppressor)

Oaks, PA - around 1000 tables - 4 or 5 times a year

This show was packed and anything AR & AK related was obscenely overpriced. Ammo prices were also obscene for the common calibers, with .223 and 9mm being the worst. Less common calibers, like .25 ACP, .32 ACP, .41 magnum, 44 magnum, 6.5 Swedish, 7.5 Swiss and all the other metric military rounds were at normal prices, or at most a $1 or $2 more a box. Milsurp C&R guns were also at normal prices. This is all pure panic buying, with the dealers lapping it up. I did see a few people (non dealers) trying to sell ARs and mags at panic prices. One guy was trying to sell a Ruger mini 14 to a dealer and when the dealer asked him what he wanted for it he said "you know these are going for crazy money right now", the dealer responded "you need to put a price on it", the seller said "$1200", with that the dealer handed it back to him like it was on fire. They're not stupid, they know these prices aren't going to last.

"purchase of collectible firearms with limited availability" Less is more.

I'm going tomorrow because it's about 20 minutes from my hunting club, and I'm going there after. Appalachian had a show there 2 years ago, it's not a big venue but a bit bigger than the Windgap show, and it's probably the closest gun show for us North Jersey guys. I don't expect to find much that isn't overpriced, but I might get lucky and find some older milsurp rifles or whatnot reasonable. We'll see.

I have heard PA dealers saying that stripped AR lowers needed to have a "pistol form" filled out when sold, starting about 3 years ago. Whether or not they are still doing this, I don't know. How a NJ dealer would know anything about an "original owner", I don't know. Most dealers simply log into their A&D book who they got the gun from, and who it went out to, and that's it. Unless the dealer is some Dick Tracy wannabe, he's not likely to look into it.

The gun was bought with the intent to keep it for yourself, you have now changed your mind. It's not a straw purchase, even if you sell it for more money than you paid for it.

Menino is a bumbling idiot, how he gets elected is beyond comprehension. It doesn't speak much for the people of Boston who vote for him. Jackass Joe Biden is a used car salesman type of politician, you can't believe anything he says, especially when he says "trust me".

The fact that nearly twice as many people are killed each year with hands fists and feet than with rifles of any type just goes to show that AWBs are complete nonsense. I remember arguing this point to people back when NJ passed theirs in the early 90's. I also remember hearing about how thousands of people a year are estimated to die during UNNECESSARY surgery. Talk about priorities being out of whack, these people are dieing because of someone else's pure greed.

If you're interested in any kiln dried firewood, let me know, I sell it. It's more expensive than buying seasoned firewood (and certainly more than free wood), but it's dryer than any seasoned wood, has much less creosote, higher BTUs, presplit with no bark and bug free (kiln drying kills them). My store is in Oak Ridge (Passaic county) where it can be picked up, delivery is also available but it would get a bit pricey going to Middlesex.

I don't see why it would, Federal and that states laws only???

If he's been burned with CC payments, you may want to see if he will take a PO money order, those are accepted by most people and are as good as cash. It would beat driving to CT if you don't have to.

IIRC Kentucky uses NICS to check it's CCW holders EACH MONTH, which skews their NICS check records.

A guy that was in my hunting club told me he had for several years a NJ carry license that was limited to "sportsman's use" (or something to that effect, basically he could carry a handgun in the woods only). He told me, some time in the 1980's he went to renew it and was told they don't give these out anymore, and that was the end of it. That would be the only time I ever heard of something like that.

I asked this question a month or two ago and no one seemed to have a solid answer. My best guess is that under federal law it is legal to do as a seller, but would be illegal as a buyer, except IF AND ONLY IF, they left the firearm in the state where the transaction took place. Let me know what you think........... From Federal law 18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), the important stuff is in red. (a) It shall be unlawful - (1) for any person - (A) except a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer, to engage in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in firearms, or in the course of such business to ship, transport, or receive any firearm in interstate or foreign commerce; or (B) except a licensed importer or licensed manufacturer, to engage in the business of importing or manufacturing ammunition, or in the course of such business, to ship, transport, or receive any ammunition in interstate or foreign commerce; (2) for any importer, manufacturer, dealer, or collector licensed under the provisions of this chapter to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce any firearm to any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, except that - (A) this paragraph and subsection (b)(3) shall not be held to preclude a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector from returning a firearm or replacement firearm of the same kind and type to a person from whom it was received; and this paragraph shall not be held to preclude an individual from mailing a firearm owned in compliance with Federal, State, and local law to a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector; (B) this paragraph shall not be held to preclude a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer from depositing a firearm for conveyance in the mails to any officer, employee, agent, or watchman who, pursuant to the provisions of section 1715 of this title, is eligible to receive through the mails pistols, revolvers, and other firearms capable of being concealed on the person, for use in connection with his official duty; and © nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as applying in any manner in the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any possession of the United States differently than it would apply if the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the possession were in fact a State of the United States; (3) for any person, other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to transport into or receive in the State where he resides (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, the State where it maintains a place of business) any firearm purchased or otherwise obtained by such person outside that State, except that this paragraph (A) shall not preclude any person who lawfully acquires a firearm by bequest or intestate succession in a State other than his State of residence from transporting the firearm into or receiving it in that State, if it is lawful for such person to purchase or possess such firearm in that State, (B) shall not apply to the transportation or receipt of a firearm obtained in conformity with subsection (b)(3) of this section, and © shall not apply to the transportation of any firearm acquired in any State prior to the effective date of this chapter; (4) for any person, other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any destructive device, machinegun (as defined in section 5845 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), short-barreled shotgun, or short-barreled rifle, except as specifically authorized by the Attorney General consistent with public safety and necessity; (5) for any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) to transfer, sell, trade, give, transport, or deliver any firearm to any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, does not maintain a place of business in) the State in which the transferor resides; except that this paragraph shall not apply to (A) the transfer, transportation, or delivery of a firearm made to carry out a bequest of a firearm to, or an acquisition by intestate succession of a firearm by, a person who is permitted to acquire or possess a firearm under the laws of the State of his residence, and (B) the loan or rental of a firearm to any person for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes

I saw on the business news this morning that the price of copper is expected to increase this year. So, buy whatever is not panic priced sooner rather than later.

I was in San Fransisco a few years ago, and went to a restaurant to get dinner. When we got the bill, in addition to the CA sales tax and county sales tax, there was a "health tax" on the bill. I don't know what that was about, but I thought that was one more reason not to go back there.

You must have been the guy sitting on the stool when I went up to the counter. I saw the other guys with Mosins waiting to do paperwork, I just wasn't going to wait though all that. I was kind of wondering why the mad rush for Mosins that day, if it was ARs or something, I would understand it, but Mosins aren't on the anti's hit list.

When I realized the door was locked, I called them to ask if they were open that day (since there was no sign on the door saying otherwise) , the lady who answered said somewhat nonchalantly "no, I don't think anybody's there today, I think the guy that is usually there is on vacation". So, now I know they don't take their store hours very seriously, so call ahead before you go.
