Where to buy: air rifles?
I do not think you will find any shop with any selection after the crazy run of the last month.

Outdoor range help (No membership)
R14 is a great bang for the buck. I'm not ROing this year, but most of the ROs are good guys, and yes, they are not completely knowledgeable about all things legal in NJ, and we all know there are some guns that require a second thought here in NJ. Generally a simple discussion will handle it as the above poster mentioned. Keep in mind they share in liability if something being shot is not on the up and up. After all, as with any range you are paying for the privilege of its use. bdomar talked about a walkup. Funny things walkups around here... For the most part, gun owners are a subset community that is generally pretty friendly. Not unlike the camping subset. So, being at the range you can encounter this, and let's face it, it is very different than how we interact with people day-to-day in the great Philly, NYC, and DC metros. Having lived around the Country, the stunning difference in socialization is located here. Elsewhere, a day at the range is like attending a BBQ with family. Anyway, point being is the fella was probably looking to be friendly and learn something, and it happens at all ranges. One of our forum members met me at R14 last weekend for the first time, joined, and even ended up picking up with a group of gentleman doing a bit of shotgun work just by a little conversation. So, don't consider the potential for a walkup a negative against R14. You will find the regulars very friendly, and very helpful! I've seen members burn their own shooting time helping others zero in or work out problems with their firearm. Final thoughts for you... When going to R14 bring a variety of firearms with you, and that way you are sure to keep busy until what you really want opens up. It's rare to see the skeet/trap full, and pistol generally has good availability. Rifle generally fills first and fast, with Saturday always being the busiest.

Try scheduling a sit down meeting with your legislators
Excellent idea! Remind them they have constituents they are to actually represent...

Sig P226 barrel alignment
I could take a dozen or so of my Sigs out and take a photo and you'll see this is perfectly normal and a directly result of the SImple design of the P-Series.

Best lube for 1911?
If you could see the cabinet over my bench, I've got a collection of every cleaner, lubricant and protectant known to firearms, including those that cross-polinate from my obsession with fast cars! LOL. Quite frankly, I've moved to favor WeaponShield CLP, grease, and oil on just about every one of my shooters.

Journal News / Star Ledger video sting!
Goes to show there's no real conviction, with the notable exception of the one pro gentleman! There are just sheep!

Remington 1100 Help
Forget the manual, go check the YouTube videos! There are several excellent ones for new 1100 owners. Usually this problem is the o-ring. Replace, clean the gun, and run the Remy very wet! Is this an older or newer 1100? There's some small issues over the years that are also easily fixed.

Question regarding rifle purchase
Check with your FFL first to make sure he'll entertain a face-to-face of this sort. Second, the moment your friend crosses the state line, he must comply with NJ gun laws so make sure he knows them! Given the cost of tolls and gas, you could very like have him ship it at comparable cost or even a savings.

NJ Gun control poll
As an adjunct professor, NO ONE should consider sending their youth to Fairleigh Dickinson because they apparently won't be taught too much!!! How many things can you spot wrong with this so-called statewide survey???

NY 7 Round Mags (Bill 2230) - Merged Threads
It's a shame an entire state suffers from the oppression from of a over-stocked metro... Oh, wait! Sounds like NJ too. We need to make more noise that the Upstaters so our legislature doesn't ignore us too...

usana shooting range
Not quite. I can't point you to it on a map as we don't have on up on the internet (IT volunteer is way behind on the new website), but if you go you cannot miss the signage. Please note we require a special endorsement on your membership, just like the indoor range, to use it. Also, there are now plenty of RSOs to regulate the range, and you must wear your membership card in plain sight as of this year once you enter past the club house. A lot of new signage has been put up to direct to ranges and clarify the use of specific ranges. Oh, the gate is working again (no thanks to Harborsite). Slowly getting back to pre-Harborsite. Unfortunately, it's been a real battle with my Pittsgrove due to the problems Harborsite caused with them.

usana shooting range
Yes, USANA is alive and I'm a member. Arbelest is slightly incorrect about how the ownership reverted back to Skip (no selling involved, it was taken back under clause in the original terms of sale after Harborsite made a mess and didn't stand by an agreement for original members). We just reopened the 200 yard range. Anyway, our monthly meeting is this Wednesday evening if you'd like to come out. New membership sign-ups at 7pm and the meeting afterwards. I'm sure this month's meeting will be primarily about defending 2A.

Im blown away!
Not by a longshot. Largest number of gun owners belongs to one of our great hunting states - Wyoming, and has for many years. California doesn't even enter the top 20, but does have about double NJ. Of course, this is considering legal ownership.

Next revolver ideas - thinking big
Between a .460 and a .500 Smith? I'd go .460 myself.

Anyone have a 9mm revolver?
I love oddly calibered revolvers! I've got your 9mms: 3" S&W 547 RB: 4" S&W 547 SB; 3" Ruger SP101 in 9mm; 2-3/4" Ruger Speed Six SS in 9mm; and a 4" Ruger Service Six blued in 9mm.
- +1 for Sonnylee

Mags received and perfect! Nice doing quick business with you!

who has the SCAR 16/17?
I said this in another post, but given the unbelievable number of AR-15 rifles and components to build them sold in a single month, the immensity of 5 years’ worth of AR magazines sold in days, and an unfathomable quantity of .223/5.56 ammo sold, I believe it would be beyond naive of the government to proceed without an appropriate grandfathering clause for at least several reasons. Now with that said, let's not even give them the chance - be heard!

Ruger SP101 Endshake
There are two things excessive end shake results in: 1) misfires due to light primer strikes because your cyclinder moves too far forward, and 2) your cylinder can come open unexpectedly. At .005" you're at the maximum, and that cylinder becomes a battering ram with each load through. Simple physics works here: the greater the shake, the worse the peening. If this is new, it's easily corrected with bearings (super thin washers). If it's been awhile, might be too far gone. On a Ruger, I don't recommend the quick fix that basically stretches the crane tube. If you're the original owner, Ruger should take care of you. If not, a competent revolver smith should inspect and see if the bearings will work.

Penis Morgan calls the US Constitution "Our Little Book"
...and the White House responds to a deportation petition by citing protection for him under the 1st in that little book... Ummm... He's not an American citizen, so how does our Constitution apply to him? Send him home. I'll buy the plane ticket!

A WTF Moment
Don't like our flag, get out of the country and make sure to leave your citizenship at the border. Thank you.

Ruger SP101 Endshake
Your SP101 is within tolerance, but it is currently at the maximum per Ruger's spec. If you've peened the ratchet column and/or recoil shield, the frame will need replacement. Ruger may not act on it yet given it's technically within their spec, BUT if you push the cylinder all the way forward and you drag they'll take action on it.

I just got a call that my FID and P2P are ready!
Sadly, some PDs take it upon themselves to ensure that OGAM is not accidentally violated by only issuing one permit at a time, regardless of what the statute and official interpretation is...

In CT: Single Shot only bill introduced
Gents, I respectfully propose that this is not the time to divest ourselves amongst fellow gun owners. This needs solidarity to have any ground, and it's rare to find a hunter that only owns a single shot rifle! Instead of dismissing or being snarky back, strike up a conversation and win them over! 9/10 times it's easily done. Tensions are high now, let them be focused toward having our government understand by the people, for the people instead of amongst our fellow firearm enthusiasts.
