I haven't read the MG statute recently, but isn't there a requirement that a judge also approve the MG license?

I recall a story about (I can't remember his name) a former Director of the Treasury (under which the ATF is a division) under the first President Bush, who lived in the Harding area, who applied for a MG license and was denied. If someone who was entrusted to run the the Treasury can't be trusted to own an MG by NJ, no one is going to get an MG license.

I realized that, but I thought I would post it anyway, you can't have too many sources. :excl:

Day off from plowing for us northerners today, did 10 hours behind the wheel yesterday.

SGammo.com $69.95ea when you buy two or more, UPS shipping $25

I noticed the road out front in the first pic, I can only imagine what someone driving by must have thought when they saw that out on the front lawn.

There's always Knob Creek too, it's closer.

I am just getting into reloading myself. I had a friend of mine show me the ropes and would highly recommend you take up some of these offers from some experienced reloaders to show you how to do it. As others have said it's a little intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it it's not too complicated. If your looking to make a lot of ammo quickly you will want a progressive press, if you are looking to do match loads a single stage press is enough. As far as cost savings, you will save the most money on less common calibers and the more expensive rounds such as 45 and 380 in pistol. Calibers like 9mm you will still save some money, but you may question if it's worth your time.

True, but it's a supply and demand issue. The Russian gov. is still unloading Mosins right now which is why the price has come down again recently. When they dry up, the prices will go up again.

You need to use a caller to hunt coyotes, it brings them right in. In 20 years of deer/small game hunting I have only seen them once or twice. I have seen pheasants eaten by coyotes within an hour after being stocked, they're around but they keep their distance when people are around.

You may also use a muzzleloader during the day (regardless of deer season) with a single projectile if you have a rifle permit, coyote permit and general license. No muzzleloaders at night.

The answer to question #1 should always be: "NO" (or in the least don't actually say what you did wrong if you know you're busted) This question is asked only to get you to admit guilt should you decide to challenge any possible violations in court. I would answer question #2 by saying simply "PA" If the police push the issue further and ask for what purpose I would say "for recreational activities" and leave it at that. You can't lie to the police, but there is no requirement to tell them any more than they really need to know.

NJ tried them out in the early 90's and there was a huge outcry because everyone knows NJ is already a ticket mill. If I recall correctly the legislature banned photo radar in NJ because everyone knew how expensive it was going to get to drive if the police used it. I was supposed to go to Baltimore this week for a trade show but opted not to since last year the wasn't much new to see there. Part of the deciding factor was not wanting to run the gauntlet down 95 in MD and DE. And can someone explain how Delaware gets away with a $3 toll for driving 12 miles through their state...... seriously, 25 cents a mile! Can you imagine if the turnpike was 25 cents a mile.

As far as I know, anything you own in NJ is legal to bring to PA and use there. NY whole different story.

What you are saying is true........ so let me clarify, I was referring to a trip that would end in NY. Before the Federal law, there was no way to legal transport a handgun through NY without their permits. This (and NJ's BS laws) is the reason they enacted the federal law superseding state laws on firearm transport.

I would recommend staying out of NY state with handguns unless you have one of their permits. Their handgun laws are actually worse than ours.

While I would certainly not recommened anyone posses anything that violates the AG's guidelines, it is NOT black letter law that flashhiders, tel/folding stocks are illegal. The prosecution would still need to prove to a judge that the firearm is "substantially identical" to a banned firearm. This is not impossible being that we are after all in NJ, but it is by no means a slam dunk for the prosecution.

Thought they were not in jepordy until the 20th, did things get moved up?

Boooo This state sucks

That was the same deal with the Swedish mausers, they were immaculate for $69....... and SKS's for $89 unissued. Where's my time machine?

I don't remember the exact number, but it's around 260. Maybe Eric or Ted would know. The way the stock market has been that last few years guns probably are a better investment.

The American made Mosins are less common than the Russians, so that's one you definitely want to hang on to. As Eric said, milsurp gets very addicting, next you'll be trying to find one of each of the 260 some odd Mosin variations. Buy the Mosins now, while they're cheap, I'm still kicking myself for not buying Swedish Mausers 20 years ago when they were $69. Now they're $500 + -

I know you weren't planning on salting your guns ,but who wants to spend all kinds of time cleaning ice melter off brass. Calcium Chloride has a FALSE reputation for not harming concrete. All ice melters eat concrete. I personally don't care for Calcium, I don't think it works as well as salt, it's a lot more expensive and the dust will give you nose bleeds if you use it enough. I always got more complaints about icy conditions after treatment at locations where we used Calcium instead of salt. The only thing it's got going for it is speed and lower temp. melt ability.

Eric, since you didn't specify what kind of Mosin we would be getting, I'm claiming anything rare in the lot. PS. what happens if you win but have to split the jackpot with some other winners? do we get half a Mosin? a barreled action? a spam can of Russian 7.62x 54r light ball?

Counter boring is done to improve accuracy when the muzzle gets messed up. While it's always nicer to have a non counter bored rifle with a nice muzzle, it's non necessarily a bad thing on a rifle that's been arround for a few wars.
