Dan, I may be interested in coming in picking up the saw, what is your zip code ? Thanks, Alec

Dave, I was planning on coming to observe, But the weather is looking pretty bad. weather.com calling for rain/tstorms most the day. Is a rain date in order? or is this still on? -Alec

Well if you do decide, throw me a PM first, I'll most likely take it off your hands. Thanks, Alec

Has anybody picked one of these up? been looking at a SKS for a bit now, but it seems like most of the surplus ammo dried up, cant seem to find any for cheap.

Like already said, I cop confronting you would not be on your record, I imagine you'd have to be prosecuted , brought to court, for something like that to be on your record. But hey, you only have 6 months to sit, think and wonder about if it will effect you or not! lol

Same here, took me almost exactly 6 months for my FID pistol permits take me 3 months.

It's shortest, if anything. Did a quick little comparison.

I spoke with somebody from Hornady today, they are arranging UPS to come and pick up the box of ammo and test it. ------ I did fire off various rounds of 357 and 38 special before hand, but like I said - after having problems with ONLY this ammo - I had went back to firing my other rounds of 38 special and 357 with any hiccups.. If the problem of the crud ring was true for me, wouldnt my other 357 rounds be jamming in there as well? I should only mention that the ammo was difficult to extract, inserting them was smooth as butter, it was only after they were fired is when they would not extract.

Dave, Is this going on at the same time as static steel this sunday? Both are at the outdoor range? -Alec

Well, while mine sort of follows the trend, I am having issues with the Copper colored primers.. While I did not have any FTF, only aforementioned issues.... BUT, I did only fire off six rounds before packing up the box and throwing it in my bag.

Chambers were relatively clean, I might have shot off 20-25 rounds of PMC .357 before hand. But that should not really matter. After dislodging the hornady I went back to shooting my cheap stuff, 357 hornady and agulia 38 specials, these all worked flawlessly.

Good idea Harry, I shot off an email to Hornady just a moment ago, Hopefully I will see a response by tomorrow. The Lot # is 3110983 Caliber and Model# : 357 MAG 125 Grain FTX / #90500

I picked up some Hornady Critical Defense FTX .357mag for my Ruger GP100 revolver, Based on good reviews and good name reputation, I decided to pick up a box of 20 to keep primarily loaded for my home defense gun. Though, I did want to test out about a dozen or so shots @ the range- just to see how they fired. Loaded them up in my new ruger gp100, got 4 shots off, go to fire my 5th and the gun will no longer cycle on DA or SA by trigger pull or cocking back, upon opening the release, which took a bit of effort i noticed the prime had blown off the casing, it had become lodged in there in such away it rendered the revolver useless. The other issue is the brass would not clear out, I literally had to tap them out with a rod to get the popped out, it took some considerable force - they were lodged in there pretty good. ( all six ) Im pretty upset with the purchase and how it's advertised to be one of the best, when it failed horibly during my test run, might this had been a time where I had actually needed the ammo for self defense, the story would not be so good. And at nearly 30 dollars for a box of 20. I shot out the day flawlessly with cheap PMC and Agulia ammo, both 38spl and 357 Is it possible that I just got a bad batch? or simply the Ruger doesn't like to eat through the hornady? rant over. thanks

I cant comment on county , as I am not aware of if it varies from town to town, but as far as I know you can apply for as many as you want at one time, it wouldnt make sense to apply for more then 5 or 6, since they are only good for 90 days, and you can get them renewed for another 90 days, so that should work out to one gun a month. They are probably misinformed, I applied for 2 permits last time I went, no issues. Next time i'll apply for 3... It's only 5 dollars or something per application. -Alec

That'd be a problem for me as I dont own a holster. Maybe in the future, I'd still like to try to come and observe to see what it's all about though.

The other day during conversation somebody had mentioned to me that NJ law only considers a bullet a hollow point if it indents inward a certain thousandths of an inch, giving the example of flex tip filled bullets not qualified as hollow points, even went as far as saying if you filled the hollow point tips with wax, nj no longer considers it a hollow point. So, Is this true? or just hear say mumbo jumbo that really doesnt hold up? Reason I ask is because I just had a shipment of some Hornady Critical Defense FTX .357 mag ammo come in for my home defense bed side gun, and it sparked my curiosity. Pic:

Thanks dave, I'll try to come check out the world class steel match this sunday, I work midnights and sleep during the day, so getting out in the morning is usually pretty tough. If participating, any special equipment required ( ie: holster, etc ) Thanks It looked in good shape when I was eyeballing it so see what it was, had fresh paint on it. Shame people abuse things like that by shooting at it with ammo not meant for it. I'd love to have something like this at the range for public use for members to use at their leisure.

I was told this by the clerk who takes care of the FID applications @ my local police station ( woodbridge township )

I was told as long as they dont share the same last name, or address as you.

yeh, looks like they are all the same length. the fajen stocks look good, but damn pricey.... who makes the knock offs?

not sure which model? - the standard 1022 i guess. stainless barrel, black synthetic stock. measures 37" from butt-stock to barrel tip pic:

I like to spend a few more dollars and get something decent in brass. I find most the time it shoots a little cleaner, and i just started picking up all my brass for future reloading ( whenever i decide to get into it ) Plus, some indoor ranges dont allow steel case ammo ( if thats what you were looking at ) Personally, I like to use federal american eagle, and PMC for my 9mm there is a smoking deal going on right now, 1000 rounds for 209 bucks here: https://www.targetsportsusa.com/p-660-federal-american-eagle-9mm-luger-115-grain-full-metal-jacket-ammunition.aspx

I love shooting my new 1022, but I have to admit, the small plastic stock is really uncomfortable to shoot with, as well as cheap feeling. Could anybody recommend something that is more full feeling, and larger? I was looking at the hogue stock, but i really cant tell if it's actually larger, or just better materials. And while we are at it, what are some of your favorite/personal preference stocks for the 1022?

I didnt watch the show on television, only the little clip posted in the OP, where they mostly went over food and such.

It was interesting how they went through all that prep, and to show it off... But didnt mention anything about weapons. What good is all that work when a few guys with some guns come and take over all your hard work?
