  1. Cool, I'll have to check it out..
  2. I removed what you shouldn't post in a public forum and suggest you make an edit to the post, being it is considered and illegal transfer and the chances of every having a problem is a 100000 to 1, it's not worth risking all your guns.. Also if you like I'll remove all of my post if you like also.
  3. Mat, I have a facebook thing, and the wife added a bunch of stuff to it, but in reality, Forums are about my speed, I'm not a facebooker or Tweeter like my wife and kid. Actually I don't even know how to get to my account anymore. By the way, Im HD2000FXDL where ever I go so I'm easy to find.
  4. I trust shooting my reloads through My guns, but as a person new to reloading I wouldn't use any of mine in someone else's gun unless they were fine with it and I understood if something happened I would buy the broken gun from them, but thats just me. Same way I won't shoot anyone else's reloads in my guns, if I did, I would really have to know them and the work they do, and that include the many here who have helped me get started and who I hold as very knowledgeable and respect their abilities, but wouldn't want even a non related problem with their ammo to cause a problem. Some things are best to be kept to ones self.
  5. Yea Al, I missed the Former when I first read that, make ya wonder, and not a thing we as gun owners really like to see in the news, but regardless of the situation, I would really like to see once, just once someone report that this is what may happen to them in the PR of NJ, but if they lived just across the river in PA, they would all be having fun shooting their completely legal firearm. I guess thats too much to ask. Just like the recent rash of people getting jammed up in NYC, no real NYC penalties vs their home state penalties, oh wait there wouldn't be any if they were in their home state.. Ok, off my soapbox now..
  6. What age make, model and condition was it in?? that can have a huge factor in cost. See what Frank has and has to say about it, he won't steer you wrong. Frank, I'll take that 5 buck you told me you'd give me for saying that... (oops, did I say that out loud) Seriously, you can get into a single stage for not a lot of coin but don't use that 80 buck offer with dies as a baseline, especially when you consider what quality dies cost, and the other associated things you will need, and calipers, tumbler to just name a few. It's worth it to get into it, but don't think a few bucks out of your pocket will cover everything you need. It's a little investment in the beginning, but it does pay off in the end, and not just the cost of the ammo vs. factory. Accuracy, tailoring the ammo to your gun, and the satisfaction of doing it yourself are hard to put into numbers.
  7. Progressive has multiple stations so you can let say de-prime and size, one to add powder/bell, another to seat and another to crimp, some are auto advancing, some you need to rotate the plate to advance the positions. In a single stage, you would do each operation one at a time, pull that die and do your next operation ans so on. Adds time, but as many long time loaders will tell you, it's best to start on a single stage being you learn more, and have less chance of making a mistake. Me I don't listen well.
  8. NJ2AS is fighting this as one of there current list of objective, might also suggest something along those lines to them. You can click the NJ2AS in my sig to get to their site to make a post about this, and also become a member if you are not one already.
  9. Getting a nice single stage would get you going for not a lot of coin, but I wouldn't cheap out completely, even when or if you ever decide to load pistol ammo and move into a progressive, it's nice to have a good single stage to use. I went to opposite route, did the progressive first, but will get a single stage down the road, and like anything, I like to get good quality stuff, yea it might cost a few bucks more, but it will save you money over time, being you don't have to either replace it with a good one, or fix problems. Also one that works well will save you time, and as they say, time is money.
  10. I agree that avoiding problems is best, but to do things that are not even close to any law you need to comply with is going overboard. What do would you do if you had a gun from another state that you didn't have to use a P2P for or rifle where you didn't need to fill out a COE?? To add, if you're in a situation that calls for you to produce these documents, you're in a heck of a lot of trouble already..
  11. Ok cool, what do they run, and any issues with FTE's/FTF's that you heard of.
  12. Try a double stack 1911 if you really have big paws. I also agree everyone should have a 1911 also, but you need to shoot one to make sure it works for you. Having a gun that don't work for you is no fun, but don't knock it till ya try it, just don't blame up when you're spending you money on a bunch of new guns...
  13. Interested in hearing the answer to that and cost. More than likely being it's a STI conversion I should know better than ask the price of the conversion.. Would be nice to have the same trigger and everything but shoot cheap ammo, but I have a feeling it would be cost prohibitive unless you had a money tree in full bloom.
  14. Would be nice if that worked out that way when it came time to elect these yahoo's!!
  15. Looks tight to me also, would be nice if they gave the open door dimensions. Maybe a shop in the area has one you could take a look at..
  16. Get a replacement from here CW Accessories
  17. Well, did you go in??? Report??
  18. Wow, and think if he lived in a free state what would happen to him..
  19. Welcome to the Forum..
  20. Oh man up dude!!!! Damn I wish I wasn't working, you guys and Gals have fun..
  21. 84 likes vs 668 dislikes.. Not a bad ratio... Thats right around 80% of this people don't like it if you look at the numbers... Yea Baby!!!
  22. Hey guys, We should really think of doing this on a 5th Sunday of a month. Not to many months have a 5th Sunday so the chances of a Match at one of the clubs is less likely so that would allow for more people to attend. Depending on how many people really are interested, we can do a combo gig. Here is an offer, as long as I am not picking up the cost, we can put together a list of stuff needed and each contribute to the party. also when it's all said and done and the party is over, what ever is left over you can take home or work out who wants to take it. You will see the reason why in a minute. I originally said a Combo Gig, well thats because we had a Swap Meet last year where people just brought a bunch of stuff they were looking to get rid of, IE; ammo, old gun parts, even rifles etc. We did this as a small group at my pad, but I would be game to provide the place and BAG (AKA: Big A$$ed Grill) and some frig and cooler space. I would be game for who ever would want to come, but say keep it to under 100 people. Not that I would turn people away, but I'd be doing this while the Wife is on a business trip and hosting it Solo for the most part. Also help with Chairs and Tables being I only have enough for about 16 people would be nice. As far as a date, I was thinking Sunday April 29th. I live in Sayreville so it kind of Central and just over 10 minutes from OBRPC and easy to get to. This is just an offer being that someone has to step up, and renting places can get costly, hosting and meeting at a club, while a nice idea, but I doubt CJ or OB or any of the others would appreciate something like this being organized unless they were the ones doing it. Also doing a combo Swap meet and BBQ get together get people out to meet each other, and who says we only have to have 1.
  23. No dude, I'll be out of town before and the weekend after I'll be on my Bike on the way to a weekend party just north of Dallas.
  24. Cain, that's great.. As far as the internet, yes it can have a large impact on what people do and buy, you can't beat the number of people you can reach vs many other sources, especially cost vs. contact. The problem is, the people who are in the market for an Ed Brown gun and are willing to spend that sort of money know what they are buying. They have more than likely done some research, they don't buy one on a whim. Will this take away a few sales from Ed, probably, will it hurt his business, I doubt it. EB guns do sell them selves, by word of mouth, this downside of Ed could have the same effect, but I have a feeling Ed will just be put in a class of Gun Genius, and eccentric builder and given a pass because, heck when you get right down to it, It's a Damn Good Gun. There are other individual builders and idea people who are the same way in other industries, what really matters is the end product. I know personally one person like this who just because of it has had added sales just because he makes a great product and people like the fact that he falls into the crazy genius category, forward thinker, and cutting edge push the limit idea guy.
