I like how Oswalds Carano wasn't on that list

Reminds me of my one professor who was a Municipal Engineer. He told me how their entire building had no windows to prevent sniper attacks on the police, and the police complained that the lack of ventilation in the one office was murder. So they installed a thermostat with conduit leading into the ceiling that wasn't connected to anything so the complaints stopped. Completely irrelevant, I know.

Yeah.. I believe I finally got them to stop calling. I don't believe it was 'social engineering' as the company they were representing appeared to be a legitimate company with a horrendous reputation for crap like this. What really threw me off was the VA bit, as their letter mailings strongly resembled official literature.

Let me start off by saying I don't know what I am talking about. My parents had purchased a new home about two weeks short of a year ago. In the past month or so, telemarketers have been relentlessly calling trying to get my parents to refinance at a lower rate, something to the tune of .5% less than they are paying now. They claim to be VA affiliated, but are certainly not the VA and are some private enterprise. I am not quite sure how they claim to be affiliated since I don't talk to them. My parents loan is through the VA. One thing that concerned me a bit is at one point they mentioned something about my dad being 20% disabled when he isn't at all. Is this fishy? They requested some information from my parents. They were asking for a picture of my moms DL, and are sending my parents some information that they will have a lawyer look at. At the same time, they are asking for some info from my parents (bills or something like that). I'm very skeptical. I generally distrust anyone that calls my house unsolicited.

I've been looking for a cheapo 10 gauge, but haven't found any. Plenty of sub $100 single shot 12's and 20's though.

I like Colt. If they go bankrupt I would bet Freedom Group would acquire them. Probably churn out low end ARs and 1911s with ponies on the side by the billions.

Will PM you.

Regardless of LEOSA harassment, retired LEOs have a chance to CCW whereas the average schmo doesn't.

Not hating on cops, but LEOSA grants you constitutional rights. Good luck carrying in NJ otherwise.

What does the 10'run?

I've steered away from the pipe dope. My current plan is to build it out of whatever the largest pipe is I can find. Likely 1 1/2". For the weird angles I'm probably going to use two 90 fittings and a nipple since I know whatever I use won't be perfect. I wanted to find some 2" steel tubing and have it bent at an exhaust shop, but I would be concerned about it degrading after too many heat cycles. Plus anything on the shelf is probably galvanized.

I'm back on this subject because winter is coming. I made a template out of cardboard, and I realize that one of my angles is not 45 or 90 degrees. Perhaps 25 degrees or so using an eyeball protractor. I was planning on using black iron pipe, yet I am having second thoughts. I can use two 90 degree fittings and one nipple between them to achieve the angle I need, but it will flow like crap. Suggestions? Cutting the pipe and welding it isn't an option since I'm not a metal fabricator by any means.

The creepiest thing about gun range suicides has to be the feeling the clerk gets for handing the guy a gun. It certainly isn't his or her fault, but probably is strange knowing that person seemed fine a few minutes before. A friend of mine committed suicide in high school. It bothered me because I talked to him for the first time in awhile the morning before.

Also, long guns are not registered. You can possess a rifle without an FID, but you can only legally acquire it by inheritance. You can also purchase legally and burn your FID in the parking lot and be kosher as well.

I have to stop by today because my mom wants to look at furniture. I'm going to ask him again, only because he told me in front of you that the whole thing is going kaput. Maybe you weren't supposed to say anything haha

Yes that was! Did you show me the 91/30? I swear he told me that the whole thing is closing and he is just liquidating the guns online.

For those of you who have ever been there, they're going out of business unfortunately. They always had a decent amount of stuff in stock and always had milsurp which I liked, but their prices were kinda high. I'm sad to see them go. Neat little store. Yes they do sell furniture as well. No firesales on guns though.

I've been perusing Ebay for used 870 barrels and the prices I see are atrocious. Garden variety 26"-28" ventribs off of the base model Express go for $130 or so. If you spend about $100 more you can buy one at Dicks and get a free 870 with it. I really want a second barrel to cut down to 18.5" but the prices of new shotguns are too close to used barrels. So.. what is a "good" price for one of these? I'm talking cheapo, matte blued ventrib stuff.

How do Pythons compare to Detective Specials? I'm in love the size of the Colt, but my S&W is definitely nicer. The action isn't nearly as fluid.

I'm in the Poke-In-The-Nose, I like it. You just have to be picky and do your research. Also, OP, a ton of my neighbors work in NYC. Definitely not a fun commute.

A coworker of mine had to go to Rhode Island for an extended weekend and I had asked him to get some beer for me that you can't find in NJ, PA, or the local parts of NY (I had to call many distributors). It got me thinking about those poor unfortunate souls who have to import their own Yuengling, and how I take it for granted. I'm curious if anyone around NJ has similar adventures importing their own booze from other states. Yuengling isn't the end-all best beer ever brewed, but I would miss it. BTW, I had my coworker pick up Narragansett Summer Ale as well as their Del's Shandy. I tried their other beer and I like seasonal stuff. Also, for some reason, I can only buy Jim Beam Green in Newark and I am always tempted to buy some when I am in the area (even though I stopped drinking hard alcohol).

Pennsylvania.

I love mine. Mine was an Australian LEO trade in though bud's. You want a 64-5 or earlier since later guns had MIM parts and locks. As for 357...these things can handle "true" 38 special loads which are practically as hot as 357. So if you wanted to load lower end 38-44 rounds the gun wouldn't care. My philosophy is most people shoot 38s most often in their 357s anyway. Plus I prefer 38 for SD.

I am not worried about them attacking me, but I do not like their presence around the neighborhood pets. I keep my cats indoors only and my dogs outside either leashed or supervised in a fenced in yard, but I still don't want them around.

You see all of these stories of people restoring POS guns found somewhere, from digging up pre war handguns to barn find shotguns and grandpa's rifle he kept in a shed. I'd love to find some piece of junk and turn it into a shooter. Projects are fun.
