Jack Gas -- Home BBQ propane delivery
I just saw a company doing this today. It was a pickup truck full of 20lb BBQ tanks. Im not sure if it was the same company or not because the guy was driving a LOT faster than I was willing to. This may be the next money maker? Just lke when Blue Rhino started the exchange program. Now everyoe is doing that. Ken

Reloading for AR
Any stick powder can be a ****. Its the nature of the beast. I stick with it because its the least senstivie to temperature differences. I load single stage one step at a time so its not really that bad for me. Having a consistant throw with the powder measure helps. I guess its something you have to spend a few thousand rounds getting used to! Dan... Let us know how the CFE223 works out. I was considering it but I wanted to hear a little personal experience first. I spent a LOT of time working up the loads I use now. The copper fowling limiting properties of the CFE223 did get my interest though Ken

know a good shop to bore sight?
Pizza Bob's method, a couple of boxes of ammo, and a set of sand bags = a great day at the range, a properly sighted rifle, and a great feeling of personal satisfaction. Enjoy Ken

Anyine here who fabricates with stell or aluminum needs to check this out
Really? They where cheaper than they are now? They are a LOT cheaper than my last place (Samson). Seriously though, I know what you mean about the sections you cant just walk around in. They let me go in there because I couldnt explain exactly what I was looking for. I went to the Glassboro store because I wanted to see what they really had. AS350Driver....You are exactly who I had in mind when I posted this. Ken

Ruger 10/22 aftermarket sights. What do you like?
Ive had telescopes that weren't that big! Ken

Cabela's Delaware
The odd stuff they have isnt so odd really, they just stock a full line of things. It seems like odd stuff to us because we dont have anything like it in new jersey. That is their saving grace for me. I did buy a few things while there but only because I have been unable to find them locally or online. I only spent about $60. Ken

I decided to go to Joseph Fazzio Inc today to buy some various pieces of steel for a job I have upcoming. I have to say I was impressed. Their prices are very reasonable to what I would consider quite low on everything I needed. If you work in aluminum they have every kind of extrusion, plate, angle, tube or bar you could possibly want. They even sell chunks you could put into a CNC lathe if your lucky enough to have access to one. I only went down there on the recommendation of 3 other contractors I work with. I now understand what they find so great. I know some of you build target holders and thats why Im posting this. I am going to start building some steel to shoot now that I know where to get a good piece. http://www.shopjfi.com/ Ken Added on Edit: Dont post from a cell phone or you will misspell your topic as bad as I just did!

Reloading for AR
Fort the 30-30 I just started using the hogden leverevolution powder. i havent worked that up to my final load yet though since I started using the leverevolution, I havent been happy with any load on the 30-30 yet. My favorite load for the 223 is 25gr of varget under a 55gr hornady vmax pill in lake city brass with Winchester small rifle primers. This is the most acurate out to about 200 yards. The muzzle velocity averages 2900 FPS with an 16"barrel AR wich is closing in on the high side for Varget so drop it a grain if you want to try it. The cleanup isnt too bad with Varget at the end of the day either. Ive worked that load with H4895, IMR4895, and IMR 3031 and the Varget wins on the chrono and accuracy. These are what works for me, research and read all loading data you can before you decide to see what works for you. All guns perform different. Enjoy Ken

gun oil-again
I dont know how it would take heat. Other than that it would probably be fine. Then again, I use regular hopps oil on all my guns and have never had a problem! Ken

Dangerous Ammo WARNING (Fiocchi Frangible 223/556)
I stopped reloading until my brother inlaws parents bought a farm and I joined a good range. I suddenly found myself with the need for more ammo than I could afford. Started reloading again and all was well. When you find a longer range to shoot at it could just change your mind! Enjoy Ken

Which local gun shop do you prefer to buy your ammo?
For my brick and mortar purchasing I go to Cheyanne mountain outfitters in Hamilton. They have decent case pricing for 556 and 12 ga. Otherwise I load my own with components purchased at Salomans in farmingdale. I buy my 22lrs at Dicks in freehold or the sportsmans center in Bordentown when they have sales on them. If I catch a sale I may buy 12ga at Dicks also. Ken

What self defense ammo do you use and why
Winchester ranger JHP in my 40 cal pistol. My first choice would be my Judge with 6shot for home defense. That will do the trick and I dont have to worry about over penetration. If we where actually alowed to cary I would cary the 40. Ken

Cabela's Delaware
I just went to the Cabelas in Hamburg today. Their prices are forking rediculous. 38.99 for 100 .30 cal 175gr BTHP? WTH!? I buy them from Salomons for quite literally half that. Same with powder, I can get it for 19.99 instead of 27.99. Im not impressed at all. Ken

AR VS, M1A/M14
I think Cheyanne Mountain actually had one. They ususally keep M1A's in stock in various forms. I love mine M1A NM. It is still my favorite to shoot. Ken

Black Rifle Disease...it's real.
We should start a support group or a 12 step program here. Although it would probably turn into a program of knowledge sharing to build an even better AR Ken

Black Rifle Disease...it's real.
Ive done both, It didnt work! Im building a match grade AR in my basement now one piece at a time. No assembled lowers or uppers for me! My wife told me it better be a sexy gun because Its all Im going to have to sleep with! Ken

What is Range 14 Like
I like range 14. I still shoot there from time to time and have been for a few years. I joind CJR&p when R14 started their terribly missguided rebuild of the riffle range. The project is now done and things have returned to normal but Ill stay with CJ because its closer to me. As for the wait, Its not that bad. Saturday and sunday mornings if your not there half an hour before they open. It gets a little crazy rite before hunting season too. If you go after 11 or so on saturday and sunday its not too bad. Weekdays have never been a problem. Ive heard other stories like njJoniGuy but I have never seen it in person. I have been there and fired away every rifle I own without ever a problem. They do like to inspect 50cal BMG ammo and rifles....sometimes. They inspected all my stuff 2 times in the 15 or so I took the 50 out there. When I get another 50, ill be back. No 50 BMG at CJ Ken

They are not accurate either. My wife got a ticket for expired registration because of one of them, The reg was renewed one day late. The ticked came on the fourth day. The DMV cashed the check one dat after the reg expired leaving a one day lapse, not four. It took 4 trips to court in Freehold to get them to drop it. They wanted a letter from the DMV stating when the reg was renewed. The DMV does not provide this, they state that it is good from the time of payment wich was three days prior to the ticket. The told us that the bank records where all we needed as per NJ state law. Apparently Freehold operates above state law as they would not accept this. After much arguing, 3 court dates and the hiring of a lwayer they dropped it. As a result of this I will no longer go to Freehold mall (thats where the ticket came from). I notified the mall about this and they could care less. Therefore the mall and Freehold can suck a dead dick, Ill take my business elsewhere. The cop that wrote the ticket said once the computer reads the plate he has to write a ticket (it happened as we where leaving). I asked him if the car was in my yard and he drove by would he ticket it? The answer was yes. If they ever do that to me there will be a huge lawsuit from me. Now ask me how i feel about this scam they have going. Ken
