Pretty much every gun I've bought. I go out to the range only a few times a year, but I constantly buy ammo and stuff. Of course, if I ever get a range membership, that may change.

Telco? I'll look that one up, that's much closer.

I always thought that Ft. Dix was less than an hour drive from me, but I guess I was wrong. Though I'm still leaning more towards R14, I'm just wondering if there are any other ranges in the area that aren't overpriced (coughSJSCcough) and aren't really far away. I know square circle is damn near impossible to join if you aren't connected, Hague's is crappy, USANA is a bit of a hike as well, and there really aren't any more rifle ranges that I know of around here. Just figured I'd put the word out and see if anyone knew of any.

Not to mention they're likely to break a lot easier. Ammo is heavy, you drop one of those filled with ammo, and the thing is liable to crack, and spray rounds all over the place.

I have absolutely no special plans, other than flying ol' glory. I suppose I should make a point to set up a range trip or something.

My sister and her husband live in West Deptford, and I'm only 15 minutes away, feel free to come shooting with me sometime!

Haven't started yet, but I'm about to. Cost of ammo, and the difficulty at which it can be found at the moment has sort of spurred this decision, not to mention I need a hobby to do during the day, and my basement, where my press would be set up, is the coolest part of my house.

I don't trust unions, or anyone associated. If he's an iron worker, he's likely union. I wouldn't be quite so fatalistic on NJ gun rights as some on here have been (Ironic because I'm very much a pessimist) but I think we can make some gains with regards to our rights. The way to do that would be to "attack" with ferocity. That is, push for our rights with a lot of conviction, and work hard at it, and work on mulitple fronts, so that we start gaining ground faster than they start pushing for more restrictions.

Out of stock before I could get to it.

....Can you still buy guns and Transfer them to me? That would keep you from breaking your promise XD.

Jules, it's not a flame war. You do realize that they're illegally requiring additional paperwork which is not allowed by state law. It's basically an attempt to make the process more arduous, and to discourage ownership.

If I were Supreme leader of my own country, this man would get a medal. An award for, "Bravery, and supreme badassery in the face of a scumbag." Personally, criminals like that get what they deserve in my opinion.

If this is the case, expect me to brag about my new SKS and SVT-40 three years from now. The main reason I went with the AR over an SKS was 1) Stripper clips, and 2) Many SKSes I saw were $400, or too far away for me to be interested in picking them up. for $400, I figured I may as well spend the additional $250 and build an AR that is exactly what I want. As for destroying the rifles, I doubt they would destroy any really nice ones. There would be more money to be made shipping them over here, or selling them to other, poorer, nations for their militaries. I would think they'd only destroy ones that are not otherwise serviceable, or are in rough shape.

Yes, this is true. Actually, I think they can travel relatively far, though I forget what the distance is. Iw ant to say 100 feet, but that may be way high. We discussed these, and the deer overpopulation in my Biology 4 class, which is global ecology. Invasive species are a huge problem, particularly when you get these terminator type species that reproduce quickly, have no predators in the new habitats, and are fairly hardy. I would imagine the state would allow for a kill on contact, though I could be wrong. I would be interested in eating snakehead, I didn't think it was edible, but I do love all sorts of fish. After all, eating delicious fish is a type of environmental action we can all get behind.

I voted 5.56/.223, though I wouldn't mind getting some 8X57mm.

Yeah, well I'm waiting for this new job to start up, and my current job, the hours have been slashed, so I find myself with very little money, and too much free time. Not to mention my side-jobs have pretty much dried up, so I'm going a bit stir-crazy. One can only sit around playing Xbox for so long before they want to do something different. Not having time, or money, I need something to keep me occupied during the day, and reloading seems like something cool, I could listen to the radio and crank out some ammo. I don't shoot a bunch, but when I do, I like to go for these long, marathon sessions (though this may change when I get my R14 membership). As a result, my ammo sort of just sits around, but when I do shoot, I deplete my supply quite a bit, so it'll be nice to have a reserve.

Silly as it is, that's more or less how the law is written, and how I would interpret it. The thinking is that were you to buy this gun, and 30 round mags for it, nothing is preventing you from simply throwing them into a semi-auto rifle. Doesn't make a damn bit of sense, but then again, neither does banning SKSes with magazine loading, but allowing top-loading ones, via stripper clips.

Amen to that. The town next to mine, Laurel Springs got screwed pretty bad. Home to Walt Whitman's summer home, the democrats won a lot of elections some time ago, and built an apartment complex directly behind the home my great grandparents lived in. (This being only a few blocks from me) Then, the politicians responsible moved out of town. Lindenwold has tried to fix up their problems by closing up old apartment complexes there, which has forced the trash into Laurel Springs. My town, Stratford, has a bit more money than Laurel Springs, and so they simply walk down a few blocks and break into our cars and things like that.

Ironically, I just got into .223/5.56 because I figured it was a cheap, common caliber, opting out of 7.62x39, which, though cheaper, didn't give me the longer range I wanted (as it would have been a mini30 I purchased instead.) I suppose I should stop getting guns for this reason. I buy an 8mm, and surplus stocks of that dry up, I buy 5.56, and there's a shortage/panic of shortage that drives up prices. XD.

We should push for a bill where all cutlery, and bladed objects in this state must be made of plastic, for the public good, and no serrations either, since they could give quite the nasty scratch, and imperil the NJ resident. As such, all Knives, Axes, Chainsaws, Wedges, pointy-screw drivers, nails, and any metal object with sharp corners must either be discarded at a buy-back program (to be held at local government offices), made of plastic, or made compliant with lots of legal gray area as to what is, and isn't acceptable.

I hate the stock in that picture, but it's not a bad concept. I mean, if you want a mag-fed bolt action rifle, and you already own an AR, it's not a bad idea. Not to mention that if you need 30 rounds for a bolt action, you're doing it wrong. A 15 rounder or so would likely be perfect for this, IMO. Well, I mean, considering the laws and all, I don't think missing out on a 30 round mag for a bolt action is a huge loss. Now if someone in a free-state put on one of those drum mags for an AR, THAT would be funny. XD

I managed to make some space for it today. I'm actually going to get a press from a member here, and since it doesn't knock primers out well, I could just sit there in my living room and just knock primers out and stuff, and all the serious work could be done at the press. Looking forward to trying my hand at this, since .223/5.56 brass is probably easy enough to get, since most people probably don't reload it, and if I started loading 8mm, I could save a bit of cash, so I think this will be both fun, and good for saving money.

So there's no scare Paul? I guess I'll come in, and buy some of those spam cans, and you can totally let them go for half price, right? XD

That's one of my answers, but I've only recently had need for .223, so I'mnot familiar with how big the round is. I guess I under-shot the amount. I kept getting around 1,200 on some of my calculations.

Well no, but for people like me who are on a somewhat limited budget, this sort of sucks. I just want ammo for shooting paper, not people.
