  1. I got that notice last summer when ordering ammo, I called them and they had me send a copy of my FID and then sent it out. I don't know if they are doing things differently now.
  2. So have I, on 7.62x54r. Buy two spam cans and you save about $5 each over buying one, buy a pallet you only get an additional $2 off the two can price - shipping would be considerably cheaper per can if you have the ability to unload a pallet.
  3. I know in the early 90's it was still legal to obtain and use PPPs to buy/transfer handguns to 18,19 and 20 year olds under NJ law, when that changed I don't know. Federal law (I believe from the GCA of 68) prohibits FFLs from selling handguns to anyone under 21, there is no federal prohibition on FTF sales to 18-20 year olds if the buyer and seller are following all the other relevant laws.
  4. My buddy filmed a fisher under his treestand while bow hunting in Blairstown this past fall, they're definitely around. We've seen Bobcats in the area as well.
  5. Thank you gentlemen, that is very helpful.

    Colt pythons always were expensive, even when they were still in production, as Ray said because they are Colts. I bought a S&W 586 in the early 90's for about $350, the Pythons were about $650 in those days. The Colt had the nicer finish, but Smiths were know to be the better made lesser priced alternative and Rugers were under $300. Now S&W is the premium revolver brand on the market, Ruger is the cheaper but still quality brand, and Taurus is the inexpensive alternative.
  7. If you want to prevent people from killing themselves, the rate of gun suicides is irrelevant, what is relevant is the total rate of suicide by any means. Most European countries have higher rates of suicide than the US, showing these statistics in this form is deceptive.
  8. I'm looking for: .41 Long Colt - have some internet recipes .43 Egyptian - have nothing 7.35 Carcano - have some info from Lee die set, but couldn't hurt to get more. Also looking for moulds in these calibers, especially .41 Long Colt if anyone has a lead on one. Thanks As far as using old load data, I'm aware of the practice of using minimum charges -10% and then working my way up from there.
  9. Did anyone have any bullet molds there? From what I have heard about this event, it might have been ripe to find some obscure stuff.
  10. Didn't notice any NJ compliant AKs, but then I also didn't check every single one. Most dealers will put a sign on them if they are compliant for NJ or NY. You'll have to look around and see if there's one to be had. Did see an DSA RPK for $2K that was very hard to resist, just couldn't drop the cash on it right now.
  11. What I didn't see in that court ruling was anything that allowed a PD to take longer than the thirty day statute because they simply do not have enough people processing the applications, it would seem if that's the case, the PD is still in violation of the law. As for accountability, if NJ is going to insist on keeping this antiquated system, the PDs should be forced to document every step of the process to prove they are not the agency causing the hold up - date application received, date reference letters sent out, date reference letters received back, date mental records request sent out and received back, etc. Another interesting note - this case sites Burton v Sills which was effectively overturned by Heller and Macdonald, I wonder what difference if any that would make should this be brought up again.
  12. I've been looking for a Lyman book from the 50's or 60's. I'm trying to find loads for some older now less common calibers. I got some off the web, but a Lyman book would be priceless.
  13. This was my understanding of how we got to towns and NJSP taking more than 30 days. But, does anyone know if the ruling said it was OK for the towns to take longer than 30 days just because they refuse to put adequate personnel on this duty? It's one thing if they are waiting for the mental records or reference letters to come back to them, but I have trouble believing that under staffing would be a legal reason to take months to process these applications. I know my town got in trouble a few years ago because they didn't have enough building inspectors and were taking several months to issue building permits. The state order them to get more staff and eliminate the backlog. I know it's wishful thinking that they are going to care about guns in the same manner, but legally speaking, what's the difference?
  14. The Lyman book is the one you'll find is the most liked and trusted for load data, most long time reloaders use it as their primary guide.
  15. While I agree the odds of having a problem are remote, doing this is technically illegal unless the buyer is an FFL or the sale is going to occur at an "authorized" range (I am not going to attempt to define authorized range). The sure legal way to sell handguns FTF is at the sellers residence (not the buyers), place of business (if they are the proprietor) or at a range.
  16. Yup, and the receiver is not a prohibited person.
  17. Could be a Swiss Schmitt-Rubin rifle, models 1889, 89/11, 1911, K11, or K31 all used that design
  18. FYI - NY is in the 2nd district with VT and CT. NJ is in the 3rd district with PA, DE and USVI http://www.uscourts....rt_locator.aspx
  19. Most western countries have laws that severely restrict the government from eavesdropping on their own citizens. One way they get around this is they have other countries security agencies monitor the communications, we monitor Canada's and Great Britain's phone calls and emails, they monitor ours.
  20. Yeah, I remember the days when the Brady Bunch was called HCI, and there will always be anti's who believe that way on principle. My point was that the general public in NJ hasn't been exposed to carry in most people's lifetimes, seeing carry here in NJ without the predicted bloodbath can only help us.
  21. Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what parts are restricted, but he did have some listings for mags that said they would be shipped from Europe. I'm actually looking for some parts for a Radom Vis 35, I looked though his listings but didn't see any.
