Kaiser7

Damn. I'd like to buy it from you Frank, since you're always trying to help me out, but that's a pretty damn good deal...

Wait, $99 for the setup kit? That's pretty good.... And well, all my friend fires is .30-06. I'll just take his brass, and use it for myself. How does trimming it go?

Nothing to be proud of. He stole from other inventors (read, Tesla) and was a jerk. And he killed a lot of animals. And was a Jerk. Actually, he's the perfect representative of our state's history XD.

Weird NJ, and all the weirdness within there. Also, this is my mom's father's family described here, "Through his five sons, Capt. William Carpenter became known as the father of "The Family of Heroes." Over 300 of his male lineal descendants served America in the Revolutionary War, more than any other American family." Supposedly, my great, great great, great, great,great grandfather rode in the boat with Washington as he crossed the Deleware. I also know that an ancestor of mine sewed the death curtains for Lincoln's body, and another, F.B. Carpenter painted the picture of Lincoln that would later be the basis of the $5.

I guess with my .22, it's usually 25 yards maybe? I usually go to the indoor range at Bob's little for that. With a centerfire rifle, I do 100 yards, but eventually I want to move up to 300 yards. That seems like the most fun to me honestly.

I'm not an expert on the development cycle of the AR10/M16. How did they end up raising the weight that much? I mean, it ended up not being THAT much lighter than the M14 IIRC, when they were all done screwing with it.

Actually, my FULL name is Matthew Raymond Walter Freidel. And since I'm not all that close with my father, I used to use stuff as Carpenter-Freidel.

Damn, no need for attitude. I just know that if I do start reloading, I'm going to be getting my friend asking me to reload for him.

Lol, I mentioned wanting to buy a mini-14 recently, and everyone told me I was stupid because they're not accurate XD. No one said that to you! Sorry, I just find it funny because I was trying to figure out what semi-auto rifle I wanted, and I never could get a good answer. I settled on the mini, and then people changed my mind XD No they're definitely legal. The problem is they only make 20 round, and 10 round mags for them. 15 rounds are the maximum in NJ, so you either have to buy modified 20 rounders, or deal with 10 rounders.

Bob's little sportshop is $20 per lane, $25 for two people in one lane, and there's a maximum of two per lane. 4 people would cost $50....

LOL "Could this be the next GI rifle?" (Cover with M16) I can only imagine how anemic and weak looking the m16 was compared to the M14, and M1 that preceded it. I can just imagine some WWII vet who's still in the shooting hobby looking at the M16 in his copy of Guns magazine, and commenting on how the army's gone soft. And now look at ARs, everyone has them XD

Sorry for being thick, but I'm confused. the "lock and rock" mags, what do you mean by that? I thought that SKS with any sort of detachable boxmags were illegal. If I bought one that had a detachable magazine, I would be committing a crime, but it's only ones with a certain type of magazine?

Lol, well my friend saves his brass, but doesn't reload. I figured if he paid for the primers, powder, and actual bullets, I'd just reload it for him once I got good at it, just to save him cash. I'm not looking to go into business with it lol. Hell, if it's just ammo we're going to use at a range, I'd likely put a lesser powder-charge in it, so i'm not really worried about causing damage to components from too high of a pressure in the chamber.

Sorry, I don't know how to post pictures all big-like.

I don't really save mine (except for a little souvenir of my first round fired through my rifle) he saves his though. Actually, well, most of what I've shot so far has been mil-surp 8mm rounds. As a result their steel-cased, so no reloading. Also, Berdan primers are a pain to get out from what I hear. I figured I'd just look around for a ton of spent 8mm cases for that rifle. 8mm ammo is just so expensive, especially when it's not surplus. I bought some Yugo rounds at the gun show for about .33 cents a round.

Haha, same here, I'm pretty much either Kaiser, Kaiserwilly, or Kaiser77 anywhere. I have to admit, it's surprising that that name isn't really taken much anywhere online.

I also figured I could reload my friend's .30-06 shells, for a few bucks. We usually take my 8mm, and his 30-06s out to the range, and last time I had to cover the ammo for them, ended up spending like $70 on .30-06, and shotgun slugs. I never did get that part of the cash back.....

What would a single-stage go for? At a PA gun show, some guy wanted to sell one, with a set of dies for $80. I wanted to look around first before buying from him, but I couldn't find the guy again.

I actually just sent in my paperwork a few days ago. You've probably seen me on the facebook group. My name is Matthew Raymond Freidel.

Yeah, I do think I will, I'm planning on doing it after I buy my semi-auto rifle, whatever that may be. I figure that depending on what caliber I get in that, I'll try and find a die for that too. What about the lube for the dies? I know if you get (Tungsten maybe?) dies, you don't need lube.

Hey, if anyone has a lazy Sunday (or a job where they don't do much all day, like me) why don't we come up with some letters or something to write our representatives, en masse?

What's the difference between a single stage and a progressive? Granted I'm no expert, I always figured the steps were 1) resize round/knock out spent primer. 2) seat new primer 3)measure out powder/fill casing 4)seat bullet and press in. I should mention. When I say "cheap" I'm talking about a good cost/quality ratio.

I originally wasn't going to get into reloading until I moved out, but recently I cleaned up my mom's basement a little, and have the room to do it. I mainly want to reload 8mm mauser right now, since (even though I clean it right after firing it) the thought of corrosive rounds scares me. Also, new production 8mm ammo is fairly expensive, and somewhat uncommon. I figured I could just buy some 57mm brass casings, and start reloading. I know I need a powder measuring device as well, and a recipe book, as well as primers, but I'm planning on adding to this kit over time. So what would a cheap press, and an 8mm die cost me? Any good deals?

I believe you should contact NJ2AS, this is just another case of the town asking other crap that's not required by law.

Actually, I'd be curious to know the answer to this in South Jersey.... As for SKSes, they tend to pop up from time to time. I wanted one for a while. You could always look on gunbroker, and have it shipped to a local FFL holder-gunsmith, and get the magazine pinned.
