I would be interested to find this out myself! I know you can carry only 3/4 oz of pepper spray I wondering if the same laws would apply? Is this the type of product you were looking at? http://www.pepperball.com/

Dicks is getting really stupid with their laws. I would really like to know if this an actual policy I think you should check with the DM. They do have good prices though!

I have seen about two episodes and it is pretty cool. They actually have two location one in NJ and the other in PA so I guess that's where they keep the cool stuff! Thanks for pointing the show out!

I have a saiga 223 does anyone know if it can shoot 556?

I thought the X-TAC 62 GRAIN LAP stood for Light Armor Piercing? Thank you everyone for your help! So by NJ'S definition what do they consider a handgun calibers?

Hi Maximus, Welcome to the forums! I am from south jersey myself and live in West Deptford so that's pretty close to me. Regarding an AR It truely depends on two things which are budget and what you would like to use it for. I personally have a s&w ORC 16" 5.56/223 carbine version with a red dot sight with a 3x magnifier. It gets about a 4" group at 100 yards but I believe it could do better with a short AR scope. I designed it to be more tactical for target shooting since I like that style. If you are looking to shoot competition for accuracy go with either a 20" or 24" upper or if you are looking for a run and gun sport such as 3 gun go with an 18.5" barrel since its a good middle ground. NJ has a lot of compliance laws so be careful if you decide to put one together. If you get a upper make sure it has a muzzle brake or compensator that is pinned and welded. The twist rate is also important when selecting an AR since this determins the best weight of bullets for the gun. If you go with a higher twist rate such as a 1 in 7 you can shoot heavier grain bullets while if you go with an off the shelf model it will likely be either 1 in 8 or 1 in 9 which is typically made for lighter 55gr bullets but this will vary based upon your gun. Personally I have found that my gun likes the 62 grain ammo since it holds better in the wind making it more accurate. If you are looking into brands I would check into DPMS for a more budget rifle $700-$800 or if you are looking into a little bit more money look into either S&W or Bushmaster which is also known as Windham Armory. I hope this helps and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Hello Everyone, I just have a quick question on the legality of PMC X-TAC LAP rounds? I saw where armor piering rounds are illegal for NJ in a pistol but are legal for a rifle which in 5.56 is considered green tip ammo. Does anyone know the legality of the X-TAC lap round since they do make a very few pistols in 223 such as the AR15 pistols? If they are legal can someone please show me the law where it states that its legal. Thank you for your help! http://www.pmcammo.com/x-tac.html

You would have to to check out some of the guns features. I found a 1996 article on NJ pistol laws and due to these laws I do not think that the pistol would be legal. http://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcj/agguide/assltf.htm

Henrym, What gun store do you own and/or work at?

We ordered an evil roy target with the upgraded steel from Action Target. This target is a bit expensive but its amazing! It can shoot all the way up to a .50 bmg at it! They sell a huge variety of target at different price ranges. I would certainly check them out. Their website is http://www.actiontarget.com

I also wanted to add that I switch out my spring as well for a spikes tactical carbine spring. Thanks!

I am no legal expert but as far as I understand it its legal to purchase a longgun out of state and bring it back to NJ as long as the gun is NJ Legal and a purchaser paper is completed. With certain rifles you need to be really careful especially with AR'S, AK's, SKS and other types of battle rifles to make sure they are NJ compliant. I do know that you cannot purchase a handgun out of state without having it transfered back to a NJ FFL dealer. I am unsure of the legality of purchasing ammo out of state and bringing it back. To be safe I would either buy it local or order it online where its legal. I hope this helps!

I have the same exact thing happen with my gun. Where did you get your pmags? I ordered mine from riflegear and they worked great for years but recently the second to the last round has been giving me the same problem. I switched to a heavy h2 buffer from bcm and it seems to be working better. I also degreased the gun and frog lubed it which really smoothed out the action. I would first try other mags then if this does not work try what I did it seemed to help. Also check to make sure your o rings on you bolt carrier group are holding a good seal. Do this by taking out the bolt and leave it forward then set it boltface down on a table and see if the bolt goes in. I hope you get it up and running

Thank you for your help. They have a big selection

Thanks everyone!

Sorry had to post this!

I have to agree! I shoot at the Quinton Sportsmens Club and they are starting to think about closing it off since we are getting so many new members. The other issue is a lot of new shooters do not know how to safely handle a firearm which could lead to accidents. I would recommend any new shooter to take a training course or go out with skilled shooters when starting out.

Hello Everyone, I just saw this article on NJ Gun Sales. You hardly ever see anything in the media that's not negative about guns so I thought it would be an interesting read. http://www.nj.com/cumberland/index.ssf/2012/09/rising_gun_sales_driven_by_fir.html

Basically I look at it this way if the ammo is really cheap, military surplus and in bulk its corrosive. I personally choose not to use corrosive ammo since I do not want to risk destroying a several hundred dollar firearm because of shooting cheap ammo. I know a lot of people will not agree with this but its simply is not a risk I want to take. There is also such as thing as corrosive pistol ammo but most of this ammo exists since it was used in older miliary service pistols. If you are unsure if the ammo is corrosive google search the headstamp and caliber. Often times pages will come up to identify the ammo. I hope this helps!

I also have heard VEPR's are really well made!

Maybe you could get a bit of both in some hunting and fishing. Where is the camp located? Is it in South Jersey? Friends of mine from church own a game farm called Game Creek. They stock pheasant, quail and chukar. If you are interested their website is gamecreek.com I went hunting there last year for the first time and got two pheasants! It was a lot of fun! After the hunt they can clean the bird for you for a small fee or you could leave it and they will use the birds for meat. Roasted pheasant is very good! I hope this helps!

I actually just got my hunting license last year and took the black powered test on Saturday. Basically you will need to totally complete the workbook for the areas required for the study. Just to give you a heads up the answers are a combination of the book and the video. Please start the workbook early since it take a long time to fill out. I think the first time I took the class I had like two hours sleep. Once the workbook is complete bring it with you to the class. During the class they will take you on a field walk where they go over types of game you can hunt, hunting safety, tracking game and carry possitions. Then once the field walk is over they will bring you in for a power point presentation and the testing. You are not required to obtain 100% but I think you need about 80% to pass. Please make sure to study things like, blood colors, trailing game, shot placement, carry possitions, organizational board members, parts of the gun and other types of info in the workbook. Each set of questions on the tests is a bit different I think. When they take you out for the field test they will give you a piece of paper for a pass or fail grade bring this with you. When you approch the gun they will ask you to identify the caliber "On the barrel", if safety is on or off "Red showing is ready to fire" and when you go the shoot point the muzzle in a safe direction, take off the safety then put your finger on the trigger. Please also to make sure to bring eye and ear protection. You will need to hit two out of the three clays flown. The clays at least at my range went straight out in front so it should be simple to hit. I hope this helps and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Also just out of curosity what are you hunting?

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if I could get some good recommendations on a good low budget hunting crossbow for deer and turkey hunting? I was thinking about possibly looking into used crossbows but I do not want to run into problems. Thank you for your help!

I am not exactally looking for a farm but just and area to hunt in south jersey it could even be state hunting land. I am sort of new to hunting and want to make sure I do everything correctly.

Hello Everyone, It was a great class today! How many of you made it out and what type of hunting did you go for? I am looking for a good place in Hunt in South Jersey with a muzzleloader does anyone know of any good places?
