That's a (bubba-ed) Johnson. $6500 is on the high end for an all original Johnson. Looks like he also had a bubba-ed G43.

I think it would be helpful if the people selling in the marketplace would actually respond to PMs. I had several people ignore PMs (sometimes multiple PMs) I sent asking basic questions (like where are you located), and they weren't updating the or deleting the listing to say the item was sold or is SPF . Since we no longer have any idea what's going on with an item in the marketplace the sellers really need to respond to PMs or update in a timely manner.

I'm aware that a lot of people see it working that way........but, I've had a conversation with the NJSP firearms unit about this and they don't see it that way. Their opinion is that you need to be named specifically in the will for those firearms or inherit the estate in it's entirety to legally avoid doing paperwork to receive the firearms. They are aware that the circumstance you describe goes on often, and they did not give me the impression that they are looking to actively enforce their interpretation of the law, but I personally wouldn't push the issue on a public forum - the only reason I suggested you be careful with what you post here, no need to rattle cages.

Agreed, The best thing we can do is take non gun owners to the range and show them that shooting is fun and that we are not a bunch of screaming lunatics, but normal people like everyone else. Screaming rants just perpetuate the anti's image of us as a fringe group of anti social crazies.

This is right here is a problem...........either the rifle is willed to you and it's yours or it's willed to your uncle and it's his. If you are not specifically named in the will to receive it or are named to receive his entire estate you will need to have an FPID to transfer it to you from the person who inherited his estate. I know people do what they do in these cases all the time, but you're on a public forum, so be careful what you say. You should probably just apply for your FPID anyway, waiting probably won't make any difference, any cop who cares about his job is going to contact your former town no matter how long ago it was that you lived there. I can't imagine what you say happened in your old town will get you denied.

For now........I can't see Walmart doing NICS checks and the instant reporting to sell ammo when that starts next year, especially if it's a store that only sells ammo and not firearms (like I have seen in other parts of NY)

I doubt NJ called them and told them not to sell you a bolt action rifle, the guy's just a douche and doesn't want to be bothered with you. Move on to somebody else who wants your business.

Latest reports are that the racks are very bare with the matches in full swing, probably best to wait until the fall at this point. I might be going in the end of October - we'll see.

Why are you holding back light weight? Seriously though............. I doubt anyone is going to notice (except maybe your wife if you're married). When the NICS is called in, they are only told your buying a long gun, not what kind or even how many long guns per NICS check. The only way the government can check what long guns you're buying is to audit the dealers A&D book, and I doubt your name will stand out there anyway. A lot of people buy more than that per month.

Prohibited Persons cannot handle firearms at all (outside a possible emergency situation Smokin .50 describes above). So, renting, borrowing, using someone else's guns at the range ,and certainly owning firearms are all major no no's for a Prohibited Person.

Original 03 stocks out there and not too hard to find, I think Sarco has them.

I ran into this mentality at an auction in PA once, the auction company would not sell ANY firearm to anyone who was not a PA resident, they said they would ship it an out of state FFL only. I asked the owner personally if this was correct since they had a lot of bolt action milsurps I was interested in, he said "no" he didn't want to "take the chance". These people were king douches anyway, the owner pulled some Zeiss scopes out of the auction after threatening people to bid higher on the first one they auctioned off. When they didn't "enough" money for it, he pulled the other four they were going to sell. The thing that brings people to an auction is the hope to get something cheap, if everything goes out overpriced, you're not going back - stupid. I ended up getting an SKS for a decent (but not overly cheap) price. These douches insisted on charging me PA sales tax even though the were making me ship it to a NJ FFL. When I protested, their response was "well you got it at a cheap price anyway". I'll never go back there again - and since people want to know, the place was Kapp's auctions, so buyer beware.

THIS ^^^^^^ The NJSP are more concerned that the buyer is eligible to acquire the hand gun and that it is properly registered when acquired. I have purchased handguns that came from an estate where the seller (inheritor) wrote "the estate of xxxxxx" in the spot for the seller on the permit. That person was deceased, and the NJSP was OK with it.

What that dealer needs to understand is that semi automatic is the qualifier for a gun to be illegal......without that, anything goes as long as it's not an SBR and has an overall length of at least 26".

Griz is right on the money with this one....... As long as your Uncle has a house/apartment/etc. that he actually resides in, in NJ, he is a resident of NJ while he is staying there according to ATF regulations, and can sell it to you FTF while he is staying in NJ. As Griz said put none in the sellers FID number spot.

There is no ban on gun shows directly in NJ.......... but there is a statue under 2C that says a dealer must conduct his business only at the address on his license.........therefore no gun shows.

I heard from people that know......that they're getting a lot of sawed off long guns at these "buy backs" that have metal shavings falling out of them when they go to process the turn ins. They give more money for sawed off guns than they do for legal guns.

I think this is more of a Montreal thing^^^^^^^ I went to Quebec City about 5 years ago and everyone spoke English to me when I politely explained that I didn't speak French. The people there seemed very nice.

I started tagging Lucky Gunners emails as spam when they wanted over $25 a 50 round box for PMC 9mm "on sale". Ammo that was $10 a box before Newtown.

I can't pull out my 870 right now to try it to answer your question, but if you determine that you need any 870 parts send me a PM, I have quite a bit of shotgun parts I won't need.

Most gun shows I have been to require all guns to have a zip tie placed through the action or around the bolt.

A "correct" grade Garand is one that has all it's parts, including the stock, made by the same manufacturer or appropriate vendor supplier to that manufacturer AND the parts are correct for the time frame when the was built. So if you were to buy a "correct" SA Garand, it would have the an SA receiver that can be dated by the serial #, a SA barrel from around the same date, the op rod, gas tube, trigger group, etc. made by SA from around the same date and a stock that is correct for an SA rifle from the same date range. Since SA made Garands for over 20 years, and many guns were rearsenaled, many of them were mixed up with parts from other manufacturers or parts from the same maker but from a different time frame, making them not "correct". Some guys go to great lengths to "correct" their Garands, if you just want a shooter you don't need to concern yourself with if it's correct or not. As others have said, just get one from CMP - you can't go wrong.

The Mason-Dixon line is the east-west running boundary line between Maryland and Pennsylvania and the north-south running boundary line between Maryland and Delaware.

Yeah, I pick up one of these 2 or 3 years ago when they were $200, and mine is in better shape than the one in the picture.
