I'd like to see 300 yards without a scope, and Frank, I'm not talking a range thats 300 yards.. I'll get to play with steel on the 100 yard range soon enough at OB, maybe take a 12", 8", 6" and 4" plates and see how I do, going down in size I could simulate a larger target at distance. Might have to break out the Mosin's and Marlin 336 for some fun. Real calm day and I will try out my Marlin 39A.

The first thing I thought when I read your post was "are you from Florida" .. No not you Nick, just the voting snafu thing with their voting history the last few elections.

I am not sure when the COE was introduced, hopefully someone will know, and I don't know if there was something used prior to that either. Guess we will wait for someone who knows to respond, but a gun you have had for 30 years, I wouldn't worry that much about but if something was required I would try and satisfy that requirement when I could.

I didn't in my area, I knew who was running and who I was going to vote for. So was your district one of the ones that were changed? if so, in hindsight I would have known my new and old district choices just so I would have been an informed voter regardless of what they tossed at me. So how'd ya do??

You do have a point, at least in our area of the country.

By the way, finish that rough-in wiring already, and where are you nail protector plates??

Alec something like that would be great, I wasn't thinking so much for steel plate storage, I was thinking more along the lines of rebar plate holders and other stand holders with in reason. Wouldn't want 1 stand to take up the who cabinet, but it could hold a crap load of rebar with flat plates mounted to then standing up in the cabinet. Also coming up with an even nicer locking system and a combo lock. Another thing, is some sort of way of combo cable lock for the contents would be an added deterrent if someone was able to get into the cabinet. I think transporting steel plates is easy (I'll let you know after I pick up the order for everyone if I feel the same way then ) it's the stands that would become cumbersome. All of this would be upon approval of the OBRPC powers to be anyway, but at least we have a start and I wouldn't mind kicking in a few bucks so your not just donating it for the cause, being I remember you were trying to sell that cabinet in the past anyway.

Would be nice to have more who think like this, there probably are many, maybe not the same ratio as it is in other parts of the country, but we do have a few current and retired LEO's here on the forum that understand it.

The nothing part is if you obtained the gun legally than it's yours and you need to do NOTHING. Now if it's something you picked up recently, then who ever you got the gun from you both should have COE's so you have something showing how you got the gun.

Welcome to the Forum. My father and godfather would remember the old shop, I'll ask them about it the next time I talk to them.

Really, I thought STI's liked longer loads, don't have one, but I thought I remembered hearing that. Maybe it wasn't the 9mm that they were talking about and just the .40 S&W.

Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit ... She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later. Heidi keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans). Word gets around about Heidi's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi's bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit . By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Heidi's gross sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern because he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral! At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINKBONDS. These "securities" then are bundled and traded on international securities markets. Naive investors don't really understand that the securities being sold to them as "AAA Secured Bonds" really are debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb - and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation's leading brokerage houses. One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi's bar. He so informs Heidi. Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons. But, being unemployed alcoholics -- they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and Heidi's 11 employees lose their jobs. Overnight, DRINKBOND prices drop by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the bank's liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community. The suppliers of Heidi's bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms' pension funds in the BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds. Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers. Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from the US Government. The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new TAXE$ levied on employed, middle-class, nondrinkers who have never been in Heidi's bar. Now do YOU understand?

Pretty cool, hope it catches on, the exponential benefit could be very large. http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/0_04vzdsr5/uiconf_id/5590821

I like it, gives me a few ideas. The first thing that came to mid though was on the side of safety. I see how low that is to the ground, we probably want to keep it in our minds when planning something like this that it's high enough off the ground that if there was a low shot your not looking at skipping a round off the ground. Hitting dirt probably not a problem, but a ricochet off rock covered ground could be. Just something to be cognizant of when planning out stands.

Good Idea on the 1"x2" holders on the 50yard range. Maybe we can also look into some scrap 3" x 5" flat-stock, and weld them on top of a piece of rebar like we have on some of the stages where we knock the plates off them.. Another thing might be the saw horse idea, maybe a 2'" x 4" 8' long that you can set up something similar to a plate rack. Plenty of options and I know we will have a lot of good ideas from the group here. By the way for OBRPC members, does anyone have an old metal cabinet that we can lock, was thinking that maybe if we ask nicely, we can put it in the container we have access to on the 100 yard range and keep some of these on site rather than hauling the stands each time we want to use them. Also if allow to do that and no one had a cabinet maybe we can chip in as a group and find a used one and key it, or lock it somehow that only the members that chip in for it have access to it. Just tossing ideas out for comment. Like I said it would need to be approved by the powers to be but if they give us the thumbs up it may be an option.

PNS is good, life time friend of my dad and our family fighter is on display on the base down there, still live in the area also. Just make sure you go for the full A&P not just Avionics, if avionics is even a solo option in the first place.

Looks great Tony, I know you said it's 720 and not 1080 but from what I see here, unless you were playing them side by side I doubt you would notice the difference for what you have used it for.

I'll wait to see what other who have had work done by them have to say, but I have to ask, Did you speak with Angus and ask him this question??

Pretty cool, nice job.

How the heck you supposed to do that, tell me, really, come on, not possible, I thought so.

Oh, there goes more money,, thanks Nick

Here are some rules: 8.1.2 Self-loading Pistols: 8.1.2.1 “Single action” – chamber loaded, hammer cocked, and the safety engaged. 8.1.2.2 “Double action” – chamber loaded, hammer fully down or decocked. 8.1.2.3 “Selective action” – chamber loaded with hammer fully down, or chamber loaded and hammer cocked with external safety engaged (see Divisions in Appendix D). 8.1.2.4 With respect to Rules 8.1.2.1 and 8.1.2.3, the term “safety” means the primary visible safety lever on the handgun (e.g. the thumb safety on a “1911” genre handgun). In the event of doubt, the Range Master is the final authority on this matter. Special conditions: *** Production Division Note *** — Handguns with external hammers must be fully decocked at the start signal.

We are officially closed for additional orders at this time. I will be send to the list to the supplier to cut and I will update everyone as I receive progress reports. Our Total order worked out to a whopping $2462.00. We have a total of: (Total is a mix of w/Holes & NO/Holes) 16 x 4" 20 x 6" 37 x 8" 0 x 10" 10 x 12" Not to shabby if I say so myself.

The way I understand it and did it was it's a a full 300 bucks, you can think of it as your are saving a good amount of money and put what it would cost you aside to split that amount between the NRA, SAF, and NJ2AS.

Need an option, "To Old Now"
