Beretta 96 and barrell conversion
Not sure about the G19 to G23 9MM to 40, but the G23 to G19 40 to 9mm should be do-able (let me add yes it can be done but see the following). I think the problem going up was with the ejector and trigger group is different on the G23 but would work for 9mm, but not the other way around. If it was a G23 that someone wanted to convert I'd say it should work, but going the other way G19 to G23 while you can do it would be cost prohibitive, probably about 400 bucks in parts, might as well just buy a G23. Not sure about the others you mentioned. Harry

Easton range trip, wanna join me?
Nice Idea, I belong to OBRPC, not sure if they would allow members to make up a small stage to practice on (nothing real elaborate), but if they do and someone is interested having someone to practice with, I am off Sun-Tue and can get together during the mornings, I am new to USPSA, well shooting in general but like to get as proficient as I can at anything I do. I am a new Member at OBRPC so I can't guest people in at this time so yo would need to be a club member. Harry

Trusted Mechanic - VW?
<BR><BR>Not sure what year or what your warranty is but if your still covered I would bring it back to the dealer. Most check engine lights are Emission Issues.<BR><BR>If you are out of warranty, check around to see if anyone has a scanner that you plug into the car to get you a report on what the trouble code is that is triggering the Check Engine Light. They are cheap these days, I think I bought the one I have that is OBDII for about 150 bucks but that was a few years ago and the price has really dropped. OBDI units that weren't that common (Pre 1996) and cost a little bit more. <BR><BR>I like having the tester, that way I know what the problem is, and a lot of times I am able to fix it myself, most times for a lot less money that it would cost me to drive to a shop and have them JUST TEST it.<BR><BR>If you were closer I would test it for you, however if you go to Shore shot on Tuesdays mornings I could meet you there, but not until the the 11th being I have to work. Wasn't planning on going to SS, was planning on OBRPC being it's closer but if you want to wait and the 11th is doable I'll make the trip down there.<BR><BR>Harry

In ear hearing protection
For the Range or any shooting I use the version of these I got from the NRA, same thing just had the logo on it. I really like them and are a lot better than any muff style I have tried. Harry

In ear hearing protection
These do work very well, I use them when I do cross country rides on my motorcycle, My Harley is a little loud but the wind noise at 70-80 for 12-18 hours a day can really cause damage. The worst I had was about 12 hours and everything sounded like it was squeaking. Harry

Leaning towards a Beretta 92FS
After reading that you haven't shot it yet I would suggest as others have to go and shoot it. Not sure where you are in NJ by Shore Shot on Lakewood runs a deal for Forum Members on gun rentals. Also if you are set on a 9mm as your choice they have many of the more common ones on the rental rack, the nice thing is you can try all the the 9mm on the rack for the same price. This will really allow you to know what you like, while it may feel good holding it, you might not like how it feel when you shoot it and you might find another you like better before you put to coin in their pocket.

Spotting Scope help and then some
Good info, I have been looking for one but some of the prices were really turning me off. I only plan for now to use it up to the 100yrd range at my club so I should be good. Just ordered it up and with shipping just under a hundred bucks. Harry

Good news from Robbinsville PD
Ok. let me clarify, that was meant for people who are not applying for the exemption. Was talking more along the lines of how many you can actually use within the 90 original days plus the 90 day extension. Yes I do know that with the exemption forum you can apply for and purchase more than 6 and it's not limited on the number. I wish I could, I could apply but just don't have the coin for that. I'll also edit my original post so it's not misleading to other who may read it. Harry
-
Good news from Robbinsville PD
He shouldn't be limited at all period. However applying for more than 6 would be a waste of time. ETA: Unless you apply for an Exemption. Harry

Just not sure what to say
Well maybe one thing, CRAZY. Harry

Exhaust help?
PB Blast is ok and well as Liquid Wrench, but if you might want to try mixing up a batch of this just to have around if you need it in the future. Mix up a 50/50 mix of Diesel oil and acetone, has worked well in the past for me, squirt it on of drip it on and let sit a few hours and lots of time you will wonder how the bolt didn't just fall off. I did say most of the time. Harry

Brick Armory
Wow, really.. My wife owns a business and while I am not part of it I do get involved. My personal take if i had people commenting on a forum like I have seen about BA I would be first reading all of them, making a list of the problems that were being expressed and come up with a plan to combat the concerns of prospective customers, not do additional things to alienate them. I have seen good customer service outweigh some services so it's not something that should be taken lightly. Harry

First gun you've ever shot
First Rifle and a young age (single digit age range) a Marlin Golden 39A built in 1958 and a Marlin 336 30-30, and I own both of them and my father had the originals. First Hand gun I can't remember but after close to 30 years away from firearms, I bought my first handgun a Block 19 in January and have added a bunch of other's, as many as time has allowed with this OGAM crap. By the way, when you spell check, don't use the recommended change for OGAM. Harry

locked or unlocked
Any rifle that's not for home defense has a trigger lock, combo, not keyed, I'd loose the key. Handguns secured for storage and the ones I keep loaded are in a rubber thumb safe at the ready. Have a 11yo girl in the house so I have to be extra safe. Harry

Extended Automobile WarrantyO
Assuming it an automatic and the shifter is in the middle on the floor, you should see a small little knockout, usually less than a size of a dime. Just pull that little plug and you should see a tab you can push on with a pen or other small object that will reach. This would by-pass the P-Lockout. Question, did they tell you what the problem was that caused the P gear lock out not to disengage and.or what corrective action they did? At least the next time if this happens again, you know how to get it out of park and don't have to have it towed and go through that whole inconvenience. Harry
