Kroil and scotchbright pad. Very gently work it in , let it sit, then reapply and keep doing that till it is gone.

Another example of now NJ laws contradict themselves. To purchase a receiver or "serialized part" of a gun, NJ law demands that it be treated as the firearm. FPID is required, and pistol frames/serialized part need PPP and NICS, long gun COE and NICS. Yet, the NJ legal definition of what a "firearm" is defined as, does not match up with receiver/frame/serialized parts of guns when they are alone. The logic is broken. I'm not including federal laws here as that is not what is in question. I cannot find any NJ law that adds in "whatever Federal law thinks is a firearm, we follow that also".

Good ole "insta-felon" M1 Carbine. As others said, the only option is to not posses one within NJ, unless it was previously registered or officially rendered inoperable and the forms filled out during the ban amnesty period. If a person does have one, just understand this is a 2nd degree felony in NJ. This is serious life-changing shiznit here. I also believe there are mandatory sentences involved now. IMO, not something to fool with by keeping hidden in a basement.

Funny, I was over in Hershey for the weekend with the wife. Passed Cabela's on the way to and back, joked with the wife that we're making a detour. All I got was a smirk. doh!

"Catch and Release policy" of criminals in NJ. So true. I was on a NJT train the other day. Guy didn't have a ticket, and didn't want to pay for one. The conductor said that he would call the cops and have him arrested at the next station, to that the guy said "go ahead and call the cops, I don't care, and you can't do nothing to me". The conductor told him that he wasn't going to hold up the whole train and make everyone late getting home today (it was rush hour), but if he sees him again he will go through with the threat. Apparently this guy just didn't care. Most likely a habitual criminal who doesn't give a crap about his rap sheet growing larger, or being put in jail for a few weeks/months over petty crimes like not paying for a train ticket. This kind of attitude scares me, as this type of person is capable of doing anything. When jail/prison no longer scares (deters) someone from committing crimes, that is worrisome, especially in a state where defenseless sheeple are ripe for the picking. Broken criminal justice system that no longer deters repeat offenders and prison frequent flyers + oppression of the R2KBA for the law-abiding, providing easy victims for the aforementioned = more NJ fail

For all those wanting to know the inheratence statute: Read all of 2C:58-3. This is the pertinent section:

You are going to and from the range, when entering NJ you are coming "from" a range out of state going to your home in NJ.

Just remember , caliber is just one aspect of cartridge performance and capabilities. Weight of the bullet, how much and type of powder is pushing it, and length of the barrel are also very important aspects that affect ballistics and all need to be considered when determining the performance characteristics that you are going for when looking for a cartridge.

I've heard of putting them in the dishwasher for cleaning, but never the oven for a good bake.

Real simple... The argument for or against FOPA protecting you at the origination and destination states all hinges around the definition on what "place" means in the wording. Some think it is as granular as your home/property, some feel it is the state in which you are starting or ending up as a whole. The bottom line is that there is no case-law available to clarify this. For me, I play it safe when it comes to HG's and traveling out of state. I always have a "plan" to go directly to a range while having the HG in a locked box while in NJ. I consider FOPA as my emergency catch net for the 'just in case'... That being said, IMO the best thing you can do if you do get pulled over and somehow LE finds that you are transporting a HG is to keep silent, let them arrest you if they must and contact a competent lawyer.

Welcome here in OB/Matawan border myself. The two options are Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club, right here in our neighborhood. They have an indoor pistol range off of rt 18, and a rifle/shotgun/pistol outdoor range setup off of 516/Jake Brown Road. Very close and convenient, and nice facilities. Personally I opted for Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol club over in Jackson. It is a 45min drive, but I personally feel the facilities have much more to offer. They are much larger, with longer distances for rifle than OB can offer. Can't go wrong with a Sig HG in my book. They do cost a premium, and some would say are overpriced (IMO there is some truth to that), but supply and demand is there and people are willing to shell out big bucks for a good HG.

I knew someone would bring this up. Yes, you can move to NJ with HG's and they would be owned legally here, thus there is no way LE can infer that an unregistered non-NJ purchased HG was legally transferred to someone or not. But in the OP's scenario, the HG in question is being purchased in NJ.

That article is disgusting. I find it offensive to the memories of the victims of the tragic events that this author so callously used to forward his anti-gun rights agenda.

IANAL, IMO: You cannot under any circumstances take her HG to the range without taking your wife along with it. The issue here isn't possession, its is the transfer ... aka how you got the gun in the first place to take it to the range. There is no "joint ownership" of firearms in NJ AFAIK. If you die, there are provisions in the statutes for the guns to be legally transferred to your spouse along with some rules and conditions that must be followed. Since all HG's purchased in NJ are forcibly (not able to opt out) registered as part of the pistol purchase permit process, it is very easy for LE to find out that you are not the registered owner of the said HG. Thus by inference, you would have had to obtain the HG illegally in order to take it to the range. I'm not going to go into the argument of "what are the odds of getting in trouble", as that is irrelevant. I don't subscribe to the "it isn't illegal unless you are caught" school of thought.

Another idea after browsing around... The location might be a close fit geography and building-wise for a top secret operation that is going to go down overseas. This could be some special military unit using these locations as practice for the secret mission. Hence they have to also keep the practice as secret as possible.

Tin-foil hat warning... Could be practice for private security firms contracted by the US Govt (hence the use of leased copters), as they would be the ones instituting martial law when stuff goes down, ala Jericho style. This is the way that you can get an armed force put together quickly that will do anything the guy holding the money purse will say. They may be using the empty housing areas of Ft Monmouth to practice insertion techniques into suburban neighborhoods. Very tin-foil hatty I know. But if this was just a normal exercise by the NJSP or an actual US military institution, I would think this type of thing would have had information disseminated down to all local PD and municipalities for preparation.

Can't make it, going away for the weekend.

So, one could say if you were law-abiding PRNJ citizens hiking in NJ like this, there is a distinctly greater chance that you would now be in some kind of rape torture dungeon at this time instead of posting on gun forums...

wasup with that ghost fog. did you feel a chill?

I checked out futool's (Nick's) in hard chrome. Its a sweet gun and the finish is superb. I would have thought it was SS if I wasn't in the know. That being said, I would like to know why they don't offer full SS built guns.

IMO there are other plastic fantastics that are nicer than Glocks.

This is one of my responses from back in Jan 2011, it was 4 posts up from the new question on the 700 BA question. How much more clear can it get? The answer was sitting right in the original old thread.

A swarming aggressive jumping spider that latches onto you while it sinks its fangs deep into your skin in order to pump its poison into you. Would make a good bio-weapon, maybe this village is the testing grounds.

Sounds like a fun project. You should get a good run out of whatever brass you pick up for this. I wish I could help, but my experience is limited to 45-70 modern lever action loading. Use some BP for fun!

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered 20 boxes.
