Ted, I think we are going to make you the patron saint of the NJ gun community. Always helping someone in need.

Any firearm made before Sept. of 1994 that isn't full auto or SBR is legal in NY. "Evil Features" only applies to post Sept. 1994 firearms in NY.

Before anyone decides to move to Sweden to buy suppressors, know that pistols are illegal for civilians to own and you must have a valid hunting license to own rifles or shotguns. If you stop hunting, you must sell your firearms. Suppressors were banned in many states to try to stop poaching, now the antis claim it's a "public safety" issue.

I can't tell you how many people have applied for jobs with me and come right out and say that they NEED to be paid in cash because they are collecting unemployment. I'm amazed at how blatant some people are about it, they will reply by email to a Craig'slist add when they don't even know who I am or what company I represent. It's just wrong on so many levels, not to mention that I would be complicit in fraud if I agreed to do it.

In NJ you must be 18 to hunt with centerfire or rimfire rifles, and even then (as Parker said) it's limited to hunting woodchucks on private land.

I might try sending the exemption directly to the NJSP - hoping it will speed things up, not to mention being able to avoid having to dodge work to drop it off during business hours.

Since the OP shoots at RTSP, I know he's up north. He should try going to see Walt at Hackettstown Guns & Ammo, I know he had a bunch of Mosins for $99 or something like that not too long ago, and even if he's sold out I'm sure he could order one, good guy to deal with.

If a brush and solvent won't take the crud out of the bore, try shooting it - a lot of time putting some rounds though it, and getting it good and hot will loosen up caked on crud.

I never apply for permits and an exemption at the same time, I usually have some permits laying around and then file for the exemption. As for submitting the exemption forms, I have always given them to my local PD. For those of you that have submitted them direct to the NJSP, how did you do that? mail them direct to the firearms division? - and how do you get them back? through your local PD? Anything that can speed up the process would be a help, sometimes I think my PD sits on the exemption apps until they have other paperwork going to Trenton anyway.

4-5 hours west of me is Youngstown, Ohio

They stock a lot of pheasants

I drive a pick up and never have or ever will put firearms in the bed of my truck. I do not have a cap for the bed and would not want to risk them being stolen or subject them to the elements.

I don't know about vehicular traffic, but I walked into Mexico at the San Ysidro, CA crossing (about a year before they started loping off heads there) and there was no one on the Mexican side checking anything. Also there were several enormous signs on I-5 as we drove south, informing drivers that guns are illegal in Mexico.

Will Samco ship this to you? It says on their website that they will not ship ammo to NJ unless it's to an FFL.

I hope they give pro 2A candidates a heavy preference.

I would say no, because when the son is physically in NC he is considered a resident of NC under ATF rules (which is what allows him to purchase guns there in the first place). Not until the son is physically back in NJ is he then considered a NJ resident again under ATF rules. Now if two people were residents of only one state but were both physically in a different state, I could see an argument to made that the transfer would be legal provided there isn't a specific ATF or state rule against it.

I keep copies of all the forms, filled out as much as possible, so I don't have to go to the PD to pick them up first whenever I apply. That way it saves one trip, and since they are only open during business hours, it's one less time that I have to dodge work to get over there.

You can buy them new from Ohio Ordinance for $4000. They were $3500. until sometime last year. Soooooo want one though.

Got it working again! YAAAAA! It had a blown thermal fuse. I cleaned the vent out and hope it doesn't blow it out again. Thanks for all the advice on what to look for, and especially to Old School for finding me local a parts supplier.

CMP said they may very well have more in the future, but they don't know when or how many may surface.

I would try jump starting or charging the battery on the rider before spending any money on a new battery, it might just be dead from sitting. If it will not hold a charge, then buy a new one. What engine is on the push mower? You might want to carefully take the carb off and carefully spray all the components down with Gumout, good chance it's gummed up from sitting - It's always a good idea to use Stabil or Seafoam, they will prevent these problems.

Thanks, I can try that tomorrow, I do have the wiring schematic.

The thought of something getting to hot certainly crossed my mind - And if this is the case, is it usually worth fixing?
