Not to sound like a broken record, Welcome Harry

Welcome to the Forum, I'm from Sayreville and belong to the OBRPC, great place, the indoor range is fantastic and I have yet to shoot there other than the Orientation class with more than just myself at the range. Same just about hold true for the outdoor range with the time and days that I go. I am very glad I joined and for the few people I have meet there, I have yet to meet anyone that isn't absolutely pleasant to talk to or shoot with. As far as your purchase, glad you went to Shore Shot, also a member there and if you mention that you are part of this forum you get a discount. Good choice in shooting a few of the guns you are interested in, always good to do that. Harry

I would think if you had a FID for the Shotgun or a valid PP you meet the requirements as the buyer. The other side of that coin is I don't know any Radio Shack's that have a FFL License so I would think it's a problem on their end. Now a certificate for purchase from a gun shop that was worked out between them and the shop could work. would be a nice promotional gimmick that could pay off for a local shop. Harry

As the chart say's trigger jerk, I have found and has been mentioned dry fire as a training aid, I am also working on things and I also know when I get it all right I still have to work on them. Yes muscle memory is good but I find that when I am alone at the range (belong to OBRPC so that's often) when I really go back to basics and think about every step as well as follow through I do a lot better. Also as was mentioned if you shot with someone have them load the mags with a snap cap that you have no idea where it is, alone load up a bunch of mags and shuffle them around so you don't know where they are and soot each shot thinking about the basics and see if you do anything different when you encounter a snap cap. I am not new to shooting, but somewhat new to knowing the correct procedures, I didn't really have any bad habits but a little tweaking here and there was needed and I think is always needed unless you at the performance of the professional shooters. I also found one more thing that helped, at a range ask the RO or a friend that you feel is competent to watch you shoot and give some advise and take it as that, constructive criticism for your benefit, it's free and can do wonders. Me personally, in my eyes I am at a level 2 out of 10 for where I would like to be but I grade my self a lot harder than I would others, Plus I'm married and used to it.. Harry

The only reason I added the cost to the company was because over all the years we the public have herd the labor rumblings and settlements. Seems the perception was that in lue of somethings asked by the union for the employee was met with additional benefits, over and beyond what most other industries have. That and it seems over history this had repeated it's self taking the normal balance that other industries have in Wages vs. Benefit's and swings them way out of the norm. Again, just an outside observer with no real knowledge of the industry other then my vehicles keep cost more and more and car loans are getting closer to mortgages. I help where I can, 1 truck, 2 cars and 2 bikes so I'm trying to help the economy. Harry

BRAVO Harry

+1000 I know if I lost my job tomorrow, I would be putting applications at every Costco, Lowe's, Home Depot, Sam's Club etc, I would do what I had to try and maintain my lifestyle but support my family is first and foremost. I do not feel anyone on this earth owes me anything other than myself to myself. Harry

Good rule to live by, my father taught be a very good lesson when I was just a teenager, he said to pay myself first and live off what is left over, I have been doing that for the past 28 years, it's nice to know that Pension money and Social Security will be just found money and not needed but be gladly excepted. I give that same advise to all the people who work for me and they have all come back a few years later when they see what they have invested and what their net worth is and tank me. Harry

Would depend on the position as with any industry, but I would say the AVG auto worker is in the range of 28 to the mid 30's per hour if I had to guess, but I think the larger problem is not that compensation for the auto worker in what they receive in there paycheck, but the actual cost per hour per employee to the company. I am not in that industry and have no affiliation but I would guess the cost to the company would be closer to 60-80 bucks an hour when you add up insurance, cost of training, benefits etc. Close?? Harry

While they did serve a purpose in the past there are a lot of companies and employees over time that would benefit more so if they were done away with for the most part, but there are still cases that they do serve a purpose but not like that did at one time. Harry

I like that Idea, my range bag is getting a little bit heavy lately, last time I weighed it It was just over 40lbs Harry

Enough Said Harry

I'll have to tell my wife to pick up the DVD today for us to watch it tonight. What;s it rated, would it be ok for 11 YO (going in 24) to watch, or just my wife and I, or should I really just play some Billiards in the basement and watch it by myself. Harry

Looks good Dog, that's the cord that's hollow isn't it. If so we used to use that to make loops. On a length of cord we would feed one end of it into the other overlapping them, I forgot the distance into one another but when you pull them they would not slip and you would have a loop with no knots in in. It was very strong, it was strong enough to hold you up if you wanted but we used them as a harness to attach a pilot and Hang Glider to a tow rope from an ultralight A/C. That is how we tow up Hang Gliders in places like Florida and other flat areas of the country. We also tow up behind Tuck's with a feed out winch and use a similar setup. Nice Idea on what you made, that would be great to have for an emergency situation, small and while it might take you some time to unravel it, it would still fit the bill. Harry

Nice, thanks for that. Hoping this Mosin deal in the other thread come to fruition and I'll be in the market soon. Harry

I know this is an old thread but I am reading all the threads rather than just marking them read: As other have said a Milling Machine is the best option. There is also a trick that was mentioned that can work in these and other situations that you have a threaded bolt in that giving you a hard time. Also good for them stripped out heads that you can't get a hold of on other application other than guns also. Center punch is a must, and go in steps from small to large, but here is the trick, get a set of reverse drills. These as the name says cut in reverse rotation, yup the same direction as you would use to unscrew it in the first place. Going slow there are many time that it will catch just enough to back it out of the hole and allow you to remove it without getting closed to damaging the threads. Just wanted to add a little that wasn't mentioned. Harry

Here is another Web Site that may help you out, some ok advise, but very basic. Best to have an old timer help you out if you know any local to you, and when I say old timer, I'm talk old time shops that still have non computerized stuff, the new wave of machinist probably would be able to do anything with an old Milling Machine or Lathe that didn't have a computer attached to it if they had to. Machine Shop Harry

Thank you sir Harry

I got through about 20 pages of the flyer before I would need to take a loan out, guess it good they are that far away. Nice place, I'll have to save that location for the next time I ride or drive through the area. Harry

Thats a good question, and I brought up a week or so ago if there was a way to see if there was a published number number of FID holders, I was originally thinking along the lines that if it was a greater percentage of the population or there was a sudden increase in the number it may get noticed. On the other side of that coin as far as numerous new applicants was it would take longer and make it even more of a hassle for the regular gun purchases that many of us do. Always believe there was strength in numbers and was just thinking of different angles to address the problems here in NJ or at least spark an idea that may hasn't been thought of. Harry

Welcome from Sayreville, I also shoot at Shore shot besides OBRPC. Harry

Welcome from Sayreville Harry

Does Dick Sporting goods have them in their store on RT 18 or did you find them someplace else. I didn't see any the last time I was there. Harry

Well I got the Tech Sights installed and they are straight on my Gun, Just eyeballed it and it look perfect and decided not to measure it because if I did find it off by just a hair (.003 by the way) and wasn't able to get it perfect it would bother me. Really like them, will probably hit the range to sight them in today of tomorrow. Harry

Please don't give anyone any idea's. Harry
