I hear helos quite a bit living two blocks from a hospital, but stuff has been weird lately. My sister saw people in military attire (not airsofters) running down the street while armed a few weeks back. There were some sirens going off near me this morning, with some person talking in between the sirens, though I couldn't hear what they were saying, and we had some explosions and helicopters near me too. It's really weird what's going on.

Do they make build kits for various types of rifles? I was thinking that, considering how much fun it was, and how much money I saved building my AR, it might be worth it in the future to build some of the other stuff I'm interested in, IE a levergun. Granted, such a purchase is likely a little while off, but I like to do my research ahead of time. I was just wondering if lots of firearms come in build kits. Also, if anyone knows of any levergun build kits let me know.

I'll probably get like, 3 lbs or so, if I didn't have work Friday night, I'd probably make a trip of going down there, and getting eveyrthing, but alas, I won't have time to cash my paycheck, drive down there, and then come back up before work. Maybe I'll go Monday.

For varget it's only $2 cheaper than other sites, and still $50 for 1lb of the stuff.

I'll probably burn up the savings on the hazmat shipping in gas though. I know there's a place in Vineland, but I'm trying to see if anyone knows any other places. I might make a stop to some places tomorrow.

I was looking online, since there don't seem to be too many places near me that sell reloading supplies, IE Powder, Primers, loose bullets. I saw a pound of Varget for $23, which seemed like a fair price, but then I saw the Hazmat shipping charges, which would bring the total price up to about $50 for a pound of Varget. As a result, I was wondering if anyone knew where there were good deals on powder and primers, since they are considered "Hazardous". I'm in Camden County, I figured I'd try and find out if Banger's sport supply has them. I Think Ed's gunstore may have the supplies, even though I'm not a huge fan of them.

Bob's Little Sport shop. All I gotta say, probably ANA maybe, though they weren't crowded when I went there. I don't know, even at my store, I still help out whoever needs it, granted it's different than guns, but we have a lot of things locked up (mainly jewelry). I usually shuffle customers, if a person is just looking at stuff, I treat them as if they are going to purchase at that moment. It seems like when you treat them like that, they tend to. Granted, with guns it's different because of the PPP, but I mean, I purposely chose to buy my first gun at Bob's little because of how good they were to me when I WASN'T able to buy anything, as I was still waiting for my FID. I chose to shop at ANA because PK90 was a HUGE help with my AR build. I, and many other consumers, will go out of our way to support businesses that take care of us. Sure, they may be doing really good business now, and I'm sure it will continue, but keep in mind that things are selling now due to the pre-election fears. I imagine it will cool off once products are easier to get again. I tell you what though, there's a reason some stores are so packed you can hardly walk around, it's because they treat all their customers well, even those who aren't buying at the moment. They may not be buying now, but in the future, when they are going to drop money, they'll know who NOT to buy from if they have crappy experiences beforehand. It's sort of like that old saying, "The best judge of character is how a man treats those who can do nothing for him." Good stores will treat customers who are not yet ready to buy, or who are shopping around very well.

Come to think of it, who in my area has heard of Banger's Sport Shop? I know they're fairly new over in Winslow, I may check them out sometime.

Oh it was funny, it was my first time firing a centerfire, and he was bragging about his $2,000 Weatherby, and the $1,000 scope he had on it, and how my rifle was neat, but old, and not nearly as nice. 5 shots later, I had two in the bulls eye, another in the 10 ring, and one flier in the 8, and he his best was in the 8 ring XD. He told me it was beginners luck.

I actually added every single Matthew Freidel I could find on Facebook. Coincidentally, there are only 409 Freidels in the US.

Shawn, I'm surprised you haven't spoken to a lawyer about this. Not sure how much help it can be, but I could try asking my uncle what legal recourse there is to keep you from having these issues.

I'm just going to say, I understand it can be a pain when people go in window shopping like that, but that's something every store deals with, I would know, I work in retail. The only time it's annoying to me is when we have people just looking around when it's a few minutes to closing. That being said, the folks at Bob's little sport shop have always been good to me, they explained the FID process to me, told my friend how to reblue his grandfather's shotgun, showed me, on multiple occasions various guns I was thinking about getting before I decided on my AR build, and I've never been given attitude, in fact, they'd usually answer my questions and talk to me for a good chunk of time. As a result, they have a customer for life, I get ammo, cleaning supplies, and just about anything else I need there, and I tell others about them, not to mention I use their range.

I should mention we were in there for like two and a half hours. Granted, the NICS was taking a while, it took like half an hour for them to get back to him, but they were taking other customers, and doing work in the back for a while. It's pretty bad when a hoplophile such as myself gets bored in a gun store. I may end up going there, unfortunately, as they're the closest place I know that sells reloading supplies, but I'll never make a big ticket purchase there. I do feel like treatment of customers like this is more common in NJ than in other states, since we really don't have as much of a choice other than to put up with it, since there is less competition. Bob's Little Sport shop, and Arms-and-Ammo are both fantastic stores fortunately, but it seems like every week another member on the forum is complaining about various gunstores.

I've never really heard good things about Shore Shot, fortunately, they aren't close to me, so I don't have to worry, but in an analgous situation, I likely won't shop at Ed's gun store in Deptford. While we were there, my brother in law, who was getting his first gun wanted to let me handle the pistol, since I'm far smaller than him, know more about guns than him, and I'd be a better judge as to whether my sister (who is a foot shorter than my brother in law) would be able to handle the pistol. Ed refused because I was 19, and got rather pissy that we would even ask that. Then when my brother in law inquired about joining the range Ed belongs to, Squarecircle, he condescendingly told us that they didn't really want a bunch of new shooters there, and that we wouldn't know enough about range etiquette and such to join there, and that he wouldn't help us join. Sort of a dick move when someone drops $600 in your store.

I think that's how I became a decent shot, it isn't easy picking those things off with a bb gun XD. Actually, a pretty easy way to kill them is to put down duct tape. They eat the glue, but they get stuck there, and can't get off, and yes, they will eat their own kind if you kill them. More than a few times I'd shoot one with an airsoft gun, leave it there, and then pick off the ones that went to feast on the remains. Coincidentally, my friend and I gave them a viking funeral once, except I'm pretty sure they were still alive haha. I hate those damn crickets, though honestly I'm starting to get used to them. I LOVE the stink bugs though, they don't bother me at all.

For Rifle, there's South Jersey Shooting club. I live in Stratford, about 10 minutes from you, and SJSC is about 15 minutes from me, at most. I'm thinking of joining there if I can get the $260 to join. Otherwise R14 is good, they're just about 45 minutes from me, not sure how far they are from you though.

Too bad you're not dead, or an illegal alien, otherwise you would have had no problem voting.

From what my friend says, this is true. I wanted to go hunting with him, get my license and all that. I figured I could use my VZ-24 for deer. It's 8mm, has a ballistics profile similar to that of .30-06, and all that. He said the other hunters would give me crap for using a military rifle, and not something like a Weatherby like he has. (Ironically, my VZ outshoots his Weatherby, but that's a separate issue). That's sort of why I haven't pursued hunting.

bump, added stuff I need, removed stuff I don't.

I would contact UPS about the nature of the package they lost, and how upset you are about it. They might do something for you, I doubt it, but they'll likely launch an investigation, and hopefully nab whoever pinched your ammo, if, that is the case.

I'll check them out, and I'm going to see if I can't find that craigslist ad haha.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any places in, or near Camden County that sold reloading supplies, I've been ordering tools, and stuff online, but I figured if I wanted to get the components, it would be nice to know of a local place. Also, with respect to cleaning cases, is tumbling the only method, and does anyone know of a cheap tumbler?

Buy a Five-seveN. I hate glocks.

Yeah, for $1800, I'll build one for you haha.
