I always wonder why I never see anyone mention the Extrema II when these topics come up. I have never shot it, but it sure looks impressive and with the recoil reduction I would think would not only be good for picking up multiple targets, but also for smaller women and kids to shoot.

Yup I read that after I posted and made a correction to it.

I would say yes, lucky for not being there, hope they catch the bastards and the guy makes a full and quick recovery. Ok I'll start it, when is NJ going to recognize our right to defend ourselves.

Nevermind, I see it's not open to register. RIF I guess.

The problem is the ratio of them to good ones that is the problem, and that's not just for our area of the country.

While I will agree, 22LR is the cheapest to shoot and I think ever one should have 22's in Pistol and rifle and a couple of each is nice, I don't agree that larger caliber guns are too much for you. While a 9mm would probably be the best to get into being it's one of the cheaper center-fire calibers it's just not bad to shoot at all. My wife shoots my .40 and 9mm and get this, my daughter who is 12 and 90lbs shoots them also. While she does prefer the 22LR over the .40 she isn't afraid of it all all and she shoots the 9mm when I let her like it's going out of style. She will even mag dumps the 9mm and thats a Glock 19 and not that larger G17 and it's a plastic gun with low weight, not a heavier gun that absorbs the recoil better.

We herd rumors of a match this month, I think it may be the 3rd Friday match but not sure. Does anyone have any info on this and how many classifier stages are planned? Is this the normal Friday night indoor USPSA light match?

I like it, I didn't plan on shooting an open gun until my eyes started going but a L/10 Open gun might be a fun idea as an introduction. It wouldn't get me to shoot more matches being I shoot as many as I can, but still not enough for my liking. I would get a new gun, I think this would be a good excuse to get another, not like I need that, but I thing it sounds good..

Well the order will be put in on Saturday morning so you have a little time to think about it.

For everyone who has paid via Paypal, I have you Email addresses already so no need to do anything. For any that will be meeting me in person or mailing me payments please PM me with your E-mail address. I will do an update via a group Email box to everyone mid week and will up date everyone on the status of the order via the group E-mail so we are all on the same page. I think this will be easier than PM's being we have more people in on the buy that will allow for 1 PM string. Thank you

The area we go to when visiting family is outside the Lavega area, a little town called Kuputoo, not really that bad overall but some of the surrounding areas can get dicey. Where abouts is your family from?

That works. when we travel we have a 9mm semi auto, a 357 revolver and a FA Siaga 12, I think were covered..

To all, Just wanted to let everyone know we have a steel group buy happening and I noticed I put it in a section that may not be the most active so I am posting a link to the original thread so if anyone would like to get in on it they can. I will be monitoring the original thread so please if you want in on it please post in that thread and not this one. Please read the other thread, all the details are there and if you happen to have any questions please ask in that thread. Thank you, Harry http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29481-ar-500-steel-buy/

Welcome to the Forum

Welcome to the forum

Remember the Sig and GSG are the same gun, just different branding, and mags labeled for the Sig are more expensive than the GSG ons that are the same also.

Cool looking gun, congratulations, but you say last is this is the last gun you have purchased, not the last gun you will purchase,, right..

It all depends on how the car/truck is running, Last year I god rid of a 99 Mercury Tracer that was still in perfect condition but the wife wanted a 2011 Mustang convertible and I like the Mustang better anyway and they were just hitting the dealers and has one configured the way we wanted. This year got rid on my 2002 Explorer and picked up a 2011 Escape, more for the better gas mileage and the 02 was starting to have a few issues and wanted to get rid of it before it nickeled and dined me to death. My other car is my daily driver, a 2006 Toyota Matrix, runs well, decent gas mileage and will keep it another year or 2 as long as it's not in need of repairs. Now my bikes, well I keep them forever, I have a 2008 Harley Ultra, and I use that the most and will rebuild it when it needs it. My other bike is an 1983 Harley Shovel, and she will be around forever also, will rebuild change her around probably a couple more time before I pass it down to my daughter, but that won't be happening for another 30 or 40 years if I last that long. Overall, the vehicles produced today last a lot longer than what was being produced in the past, I remember if you kept a vehicle past 100K you were going to be putting money into them, these days, I wouldn;t have a problem buying a used vehicle with 100K.

That's a nice looking gun.

No problem, 2 x 8" no holes, TTL $60 bucks. Done

The economic conditions down there are not the best to say the least. If you go to any of the tourist towns you will not have any problems at all, it's very safe in those areas. Now when I go down there the wife kid and I stay at the resorts and we are just fine. Now when we go visit family we are well out of the tourist area and we don't go anyplace unarmed. It's really not that bad, but you do have to know where you are and whats going on around you. Our vehicle down there has tinted windows, so people who might rob you will pick another car, see they have no idea how many people are in there when they can't see in. Another thing is we don't wear anything that sticks out, so that makes us less of a target. It's sad that it is that way and has gotten worse that last few years but it's still not as bad as some places in Mexico and other locations around the world. For vacationers, just go to the resorts and you will have no problem and the time of your life, it's a lot of fun down there.

Sorry to hear that, being that it's new I would just go through Thumblers sounds like a manufacturing defect. Let us know how they treat you, wold be nice to know how their customer service is, just in case other who have Thumblers know if they are good to their customers or not. You are right on the amount of media and how much brass you can tumble at a time, it's all for the small motor on the Thumblers unit only. I have been doing just over 400 cases and just drop the amount of water a tad to keep the weight down and it's been working great.

I guess so, Heck if I was a FFL I would do them all day long, 42 - 16 is only 26 bucks, but heck, for me to write a little info some forums and make a phone call isn't that bad, heck line them up and I'd do multiple transfers an hour if I could.

Looks good Brian, On the Thumblers I tighten them up like I would a drum head on my drum set, tighten up 2 at a time directly across from one another. say 12 and 6 o'clock positions and then repeat with the other sets. I just tighten them to make contact, and then a little tighter and then a final TQ and not a leak. Tightening them up like this should work, if not there is something else wrong and hope Thumblers correct that for you. To show how TQ sequence can or the lack of it can mess up things, there is a cover on Harley's called the Primary Cover, it's that big chrome thing you see on the left side of the bike, take a look the next time you see a Harley if you not familiar. Well I have seen people TQ the thing out of shape but tightening them on the wrong order or not going through the the TQ sequence. Jut think, how you do it when you change a tire on your car or truck.

Others covered all the other questions. As far as good stuff, if you mean self defense ammo, well what's good in my gun may not function well in yours. As a starting point, I went with Hornady CD ammo, have it for my .380 and my 9mm as they are my only center-fire guns that are dedicated SD/HD guns beside my shotty's. The Hornady worked very well so thats what I keep them loaded with. Like I said, no matter what you chose, shoot what you plane to use, not only for function, but also to see how the gun shoots, because it will shoot differently than what your using for target shooting.
