My former computer graphics teacher has two that her father captured in the war. He was a colonel or something, but she wanted 2,000 for them. Which even then I thought was a lot, I would have picked them up if they'd been cheaper, but if the ammo is a pain to get, then it's really not worth it in my opinion.

It depends on the quality of the airsoft gun. I had a tooth shot out by one. They can knock eyes out and stuff if you're not careful. Again, depending on what parts you have inside, you can get a range of up to 250+ feet with an AEG, even more for some of the top of the line guns.

As an airsofter I hate when kids do dumb stuff like that. Thanks for lecturing them, hopefully they listened, I mean we have a hard enough time with people wanting to ban our sport as it is, It really steams my clams knowing these kids probably bought this stuff from some cheap vendor, and then decided to act stupidly like this, not even considering they were going to hurt an animal.

I'm pretty sure in the C&R section someone asked that. Answers ranged from reloading 30-06s with some modifications, to some people that sell 7.7mm. Here. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22382-77-jap-ammo/page__p__302831__hl__%2Barisaka+%2Bammo__fromsearch__1#entry302831

See, now I'm glad I asked. I was wondering because it seems like some people have bought some nice longarms for cheap, and I figured if they were getting good deals, they were likely buying from an individual. So if I go to a gunshow, then that means I can only buy at tables run by FFL holders. This is part of the reason I'm asking, to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Not a bad Idea, I have an NCstar red dot I have leftover from airsofting I think I'm going to put on my Savage MkII. But I think you may as well go for the gusto, and just buy the most outlandish accessory you can for it.

If it has the chrysanthemum, the value will likely be WAY higher, since the Japanese were ordered to remove them in the event that the weapon is captured.

I would just turn the rifle to the side, and keep the bulk of my hand away from the muzzle. But I have to agree, I never liked that style of loading, I love the loading ports, not for any safety fears, but mainly for convenience.

Then again, in regards to the mall ninjas, practically every issue of Guns and Ammo I read contains information about a whole bunch of tactical goo-gaws that really seem rather pointless. I can't quite understand the person who puts out hundreds of dollars for tacti-cool stuff for "home defense" when odds are you probably already have the upper hand of experience with your arm. I worry that I annoy the older gun owners with my questions, but I feel when I get older forums such as this one will be choked with topics like, "FIRST GUN, TOTALLY SWEET AR WITH ACOG, RED DOT, NIGHTVISION SNIPERSCOPE" and it'll all be about the gear he put on the one gun he owns that does nothing but weigh it down.

Same, I really like Bob's little sport shop, they're great folks there. Milsurp is pretty much my main area of interest, hence why I want to go to gun shows, I know I've seen things like mausers at Ed's gun store near me, but I don't see as much milsurp at the local shops.

First off, sorry for asking so many questions in such a short time, but I am new to all of this. Obviously, NJ doesn't have any gun shows, but I know PA does. The question I have is, supposing we're looking at guns that are NJ friendly at said show, could we buy them? What paperwork would we need? etc. etc. And if we can, When/where are some good gun shows in PA or Deleware, and when would the be occurring?

I was going to take a job at YMCA camp Lake Ockanickon where I would teach kids to shoot air rifles. I didn't take it because it paid $24 a day, and I'd have to drive 40 minutes to get there. But yeah, most people who heard I got my FID asked why I needed a gun, and some even seemed taken a back. I saw a bumpersticker in 4th grade that would change my opinion on this matter forever, "The Kennedy's Car has killed more people than my gun, fear the government that fears the gun" Or something like that. It's true, people thing that all guns can just get up, walk around, and shoot everything. They don't think that responsible, law-abiding citizens such as ourselves pose no risk to anything. And what kills me about this is just how America is about Freedom, we have the Freedom to own guns, just as they have the freedom NOT to own guns. I don't see any of us forcing others to get firearms, why must the infringe upon our rights?

If that is the one I saw, it's .22. I think they can take several .22 rounds, like .22LR, .22 short, etc. I really want a Winchester '94 for my first levergun. They're just so nice, and really are the stereotypical Western carbine.

Words taken from a member of the NJ state legislature, "Wow! Misappropriating tax payer funds into pet projects/ hiring friends and family into government positions makes me essentially a criminal, I can relate to these guys! Hell, half of them are probably my constituents. I'm glad I saw this!"

Tell me more about it as you use it, I heard leverguns are a pain to repair. But it's funny, the Henry repeater was what I intended to get as my first gun. I only got a bolt action last minute because I'm more familiar with them.

I don't even remember ANY muzzle flash from my .22, so if anything, won't this just weigh the front of the barrel down, and make it awkward. I do like the line, "You and the kids will have a lot of fun shooting at varmints, critters and cans. If your kids are the sensitive type,explain they can always get new cans." Made me laugh. But I would think that this would make it hard for them to be taken seriously, I always thought Mossberg was a respected company, stuff like this seems stupid. It's like the we airsofters do when we see someone do something like put a boxmag on an M4.

I guess I should give my own option, given the choice of anything, mine probably would be a luger, or a FN Five-seveN. I've never been the biggest fan of pistols, but I really like both of those. The Luger is just classy, and they really have a nice point and aim feeling to them. Of course, the sights on them are terrible, but I guess practice would fix that. And the Five-seveN is also pretty nice, and though the 5.7 is probably relatively hard to get a hold of, the ballistic properties of the round is pretty good, even in the variants available to civilians.

Let's just pretend for a minute, that you could carry anything, and I mean ANYTHING as a CC firearm, what would it be? What got me thinking of this was a discussion with my friend Seth who told me his girlfriend's father carries a Luger for his EDC (he lives in NY state), perhaps not the most practical, I have to give him points for style. So I just figured I'd pose the question to see what you would carry, and why.

If it were up to me to decide the law, I think I'd go pretty much with an Alaska type model. I mean, assuming the other state laws were in place, where you have to get a permit to purchase a pistol, and have an FID, get the background check, etc. I think an open, or CC, would be fine. If you're going through all that trouble to purchase legally, you probably should be able to carry legally.

Yeah, pics or it didn't happen. But seriously, I'd like to see that, I don't know enough about mojo sights, so seeing them would help.

OH! You found my SKS from when I was in the Red Army, thanks! I'll be taking that back now! Just kidding, but that's a damn fine arm you got, and for such a price! The stock on it is beautiful, good job.

I always wondered how people never realized this to be a fact, I mean if I were a criminal, the simple fact that homes were LIKELY to be armed would deter me, since, I doubt most criminals really practice with their weapons, and therefore probably won't be as proficient if they run into a legally armed citizen. By the way, I got a pretty funny pro-gun email forward, if I still have it and anyone wants it let me know. There's a podcast, called "The Truth about Guns" which is pretty good at debunking the claims of groups like the Brady Campaign and stuff, plus it's free.

OH! I was wondering if that was possible! I didn't want to say anything, and risk sounding like an idiot (or noob as airsofters say). If that's the case, you may very well have made a reloader out of me. Now I just have to find an affordable rig. I just worked 60 hours this week to save some for the new hobby, but now my check engine light is on, go figure. Thanks Maksim!

That's pretty much what my neighbor said. I've never been the biggest AR fan really, though lately I've been getting more into them. They do look pretty cool without the carrying handle. I worry though, because I feel like if I get an AR, that I'd likely end up looking for something in 6.5, and then realize how stupid of a choice that is, but I've read pretty good things on that caliber. As for making my own ammo, I have done some research into handloading, and I think I'd like to get into it. Of course, since I also like Mausers and stuff, I figured it would be useful for the 8mm round, except that removing a berdan primer is kind of a pain in the rear. I think I might just might be in over my head now that I finally got my FID. Haha. There's so many guns I'd love to have, guns i'd like to shoot haha.

1. Initial Application 2. Police Department where you applied - Stratford 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD - Detective Brett Johnson 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit - Just under 60 days 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form) - Information regarding my employer 6. Notes - Claimed that the law did not specify a time period for having the permit approved/denied. When I finally pressed the issue, the detective said that mine was almost done, and they'd know by the end of the week, which, fortunately, was the case. The other officers I dealt with were friendly and helpful, though they asked a lot of questions.
