I thought you weren't a pistol guy Well, if you going to start at least it's with a really nice piece.

You are correct but the judge will exclude anyone he thinks will have a bias. Potential jurors fill out questionnaires to weed out people who may have a bias, it would be interesting to see what was on the one for this case. I don't know if there were any gun owners on the jury, but the way this judge ran this case I would not be surprised if the were excluded.

Happy Birthday! B)

You are thinking logically and fairly, this judge was anything but unbiased.

Certainly will, we'll have to meet up in K-town when I can and try em out.

Fortunately that's how it ended up!

That would never fly. The state could then overrule the 1st, 4th and 5th amendments if states rights were paramount to the Bill of Rights.

The judge probably dismissed anyone who owned guns during jury selection. He obviously didn't like gun owners.

Your correct when you say the fed SBR rules make no sense. In the free parts of America you can buy "assault pistols", just like any other pistol, such as Sig 556 pistols, AK pistols and AR pistols but if you attach a stock (folding, fixed or otherwise) you need to register it with the ATF as an SBR. Like a stock is going to make it more deadly Then again switchblade knives have been illegal to the average person federally for a long time. You can buy and carry a handgun in most of this country but not own a switchblade?

On my next trip there, if they still have them at that time.

If you had turned it down it would be in my house right now! You did well with that one!

Thanks Eric, that was helpful, I'm glad I got that out of you before you have a brain crash. All the parts have "E" on them, including the rear sight, except the barrel which has a "W" on it and a flaming bomb and the cocking piece which also has a "W" on it. Does that mean the barrel is a replacement? If so they must have used an older stock barrel when referbing since it's dated 3/19.

Actually SBR's are totally banned in NJ, there is no process to purchase one legally outside of military and LE (and even there the law, in typical NJ fashion, is contradictory). The proving to a judge thing is for MG's only.

Picked up a decent Eddystone at the auction with Usnmars and gang yesterday. I can only find serial numbers on the receiver. Does anyone know if they typically have them on any other parts? Wanted to see if it's got matching numbers but can't find any on the bolt or exposed portions of the barrel. Haven't tried to take the stock off to look at the rest of the barrel. The bolt and some other parts do have E (for eddystone?)stamped into them and the barrel has 3/19 (march 1919?) on it but no numbers. Does also have some nice flaming bomb markings on various parts.

I think it is extremely dangerous and you should sell it me immediately! :icon_lol:

And you can't even sue them successfully, it's been tried, but to no avail.

I'm glad we're clarifying this. I have gone hunting for over 20 years with a pick up and always used a soft case w/o a lock. I too recently saw on the SP website the "guidelines" stating they must be locked but didn't hear of anyone changing their transportation practices. I didn't want to find out the hard way the was a new law.

We need to get rid of this requirement that an investigation be done for everything after you get your initial FID. This became obsolete when NICS went into effect. If the anti's are hell bent on keeping the permits for handguns they could be supplied by the FFL and filled out at the time of purchase (like in PA) without the preinvestigation requirements. This should be presented as a cost saving measure. I know my town has an officer in records that spends a lot of time investigating people who were just investigated recently and the $2 per permit is not covering that expense so tax dollars are paying these costs. In these austere times this is a prime example of bureaucratic waste.

Cherry Ridge is going to be your best bet in North Jersey. If you are any good at working with wood it would not be hard to build your own target frame, but it will have to be built to the specifications they provide to you. As Malsua said you can just buy one if that's easier for you. Ps. watch yourself on 23, West Milford does sit out there often enough. Haven't seen Passaic county much since they laid off a number of guys a year or so ago. My office is on 23, so I watch the happenings everyday.

That's an interesting thought! To bad there are too many sympathetic dopes in the justice system to ever allow that to happen. I still think the gun rights groups should have sued Corzine for fraud when he arm twisted the OGAM thru. Not that they could win the case, but it would have drawn attention to the fact he was pushing a utterly unnecessary bill thru for political gain.

Congrats, deer hunting may get for you just as addictive as this forum. One of my friends got his first deer last year with his dad's old shotgun, this year he's buying new tree stands and looking at getting a new shotgun for his future hunting exploits.

Once again congrats Eric! (I'm still jealous), and thanks, I can't complain, on closer inspection of my acquisitions I think I did well, I'm also a happy camper.

+1 got mine there, they put them on sale every two or three weeks this time of year.

SGammo.com has S&B for $15.95 per box when you buy 5 or more. Or if you go to gun shows you can usually find PPU for $15 - $17 per box. Forks of the Delaware in Allentown is next weekend and Valley Forge is Dec. 17 - 19 both usually have good deals on this ammo. FYI, windex or ammonia will neutralize the salt until you have time to do a full cleaning.

I know I've been told by gun shops that if you drop off a firearm for gunsmithing work you will need a FID to pick it up again. If you don't have one they cannot TRANSFER it back to you. Another reason you should just get the FID card anyway.
