Jan 22-23 PA, Matamoras Gun Show
Went today, seemed a little leaner than the last time I went, which was 3-4 years ago. Still found a few deals though.

Allentown Gun Show - Roadway Inn (Days Inn)
What was he asking for them? And $229 for a new Russian M44 is not bad, few guys at the Matamoras show today asking $400 - $450 for them, thought that was crazy!

guns, food, and music
Eastern block surplus is cheap here! It's got to be ridiculously cheap there. I wonder how often someone gets shot in the head accidentally at one of these festivals.

Allentown Gun Show
What do you think we are?????? We're nerds with firepower. That show is especially small and always crowded. If they have the the shows over at the expo center (just on the other side of 309) again this year, you will find it to be much more spacious. Harrisburg is good when there aren't any other shows going on the same weekend, what sucks about it is the parking fees, the distance to walk to the entrance from the parking lot and it's a long drive out there. Oaks is becoming one of the better shows now that Eagle Arms is running it. Matamoras show is this weekend too, but also small and was crowded this morning.

buying a rifle/long gun
Yeah, I heard about that proposal.

To build or not to build? What benifits me
I assembled a couple DPMS's last year for $700 - $750 if your not looking for match grade components. Bought the compliant uppers complete and assembled the lower and the stock.

Looking for a .308 semi-auto
Yeah..... surplus for that baby! B) I would say less kick than a bolt action, but FAL's kick a lot less.

buying a rifle/long gun
Would the SP even get paperwork on a massive long gun sale? I'm thinking they would only find out if they audited the dealers books.

Just purchased a box of 380, holy cow Batman....
I have an LCP also and when I used American Eagle (Federal) I would get 5 or 6 jams (FTE) per box (had the same problem in a CZ 83). I used PPU I had no problems at all (again same in the CZ 83). These were FMJ's but PPU does make a hollow points as well, although they are somewhat hard to come by. I found some at the Valley Forge show last time I went. In discussions with the ammo dealers they all said that PPU is a little hotter, which in these cases seem to make the ammo more reliable. FYI - PPU FMJ can be had for $15 - $16 a box of 50 at better gun shows, it's not match grade but it's decent, clean and reloadable.

AZ...What effect will it have
Be careful what you post..... they might take this list verbatim and make it law.
-
need help and info on M1A build
You are correct, M1A's can have flash hiders or threaded barrels since they do not have a pistol grip or bayonet lug.

Looking for a .308 semi-auto
Great gun........ although it destroys brass and kicks like a mule it's still a great gun.

Christie has no opinion on concealed carry
My 2 cents. I think Christie is planning on running again for gov after his term is up, rather than for national office in 2012. Therefore, he is going to avoid the gun issue as long as he can since it will not help him get reelected in NJ. He will probably run for national office in 2016 if he is still the darling (or at least the best candidate) of the Republican party when that time comes. He is clever and all his statements are well thought out. If he smells national ambition in 2016, he will probably change his tune some after being (if) reelected. Christie knows Obama does not have a good challenger in 2012 and will most likely be reelected (God help us!), leaving an opportunity for 2016 when their will be no incumbent.

A field guide to gun shows
I find plenty of deals at shows. If you don't want to go that's fine by me, it will be less crowded and there will be better selection for me. :lol:

Tommy Gun
The story I hear from dealers is that the more expensive they get(new guns) the more problems they seem to have. One dealer told me he had one come back 5 times because the extactor kept flying out. Kahr finally replaced the entire bolt after a lot of complaining. I've wanted one for a while, but don't want to buy a Kahr. I'm looking for a nice West Hurley if anyone knows of one for sale.

Transporting a firearm to a range in another state
+1 I don't know either what exactly you can be charged with, but I'm sure the cops will find something to charge you with if you lie to them. I was reading in the paper this morning about a woman who was charged with "Hindering Apprehension" for telling the cops she didn't know where boyfriend was when he was hiding in her house. He was wanted for armed robbery. For the most part you are not required to answer the police's questions, if you think the honest answer will create an issue you can tell the cops: "I don't want to answer that question"

Just Watch This!
Well, I guess thats one more physical disability that NJ can't use to prohibit someone from buying guns.

Muzzle Loader?
.50 cal is more common, so if your looking for bullets or accessories they will be easier to find. Modern inlines will take modern cleaner burning muzzle loader powders such as Triple 7 and Clean Shot and use 209 shotgun primers for faster more reliable ignition. You can also put upwards of 150 grains of powder in an inline as opposed to 100 or so in many traditional muzzle loaders, this will allow you to make farther shots if you desire.

Transporting a firearm to a range in another state
At that point I would say I would not like to answer any more questions.
-
Transporting a firearm to a range in another state
I'm not a cop or a lawyer, but trying give a cop a false name and see what that gets you. I'm sure some of the LEO's on the forum will chime in.

Snow!!!
12 hours behind the wheel plowing and everything is totally done. Got about 8" of superfluff in Morris County. May be time to go gun shopping after all these storms.

new guy
Welcome! FYI - Armalite makes AR 10's that are NJ compliant - pinned compensator instead of a flash hider. You may need to order it and it may take a while to get, but it is available.

Anybody live in Randolph?
Randolph does allow some hunting on township property due to the fact that the area is polluted with deer. Not sure about regs on hunting private land. Be very careful with what flowers and shrubs you plant there, only the most deer resistant shrubs will survive the onslaught. It's a nice town, I have no idea about permits though.

Whats next..inspection? Insurance??
Any legislator that sponsors absurd laws like this should be thrown out of office immediately.
