  1. How? If it were left to you in a will, keep it. If they physically gave it to you, you need to get a P2P and fill it out. As for someone asking about what I said, I suggested getting the FID so you can buy ammo, and it is a good thing to have.
  2. I would be going straight to jail if I got pulled over with a rifle cased and unloaded and I wasn't heading directly to the range-by the detective who issued me my FID. Nice guy and I didn't argue with him. Rifles are registered. Hollowpoints illegal, etc.
  3. Unless it was specifically willed to you per your grandfathers will, your Grandma owns a gun. You would need an FID and P2P to buy it from her. If it was willed to you, take your Glock home and put it in a safe location. Keep it away from the kids, a quick access safe is best. Get an FID and buy lots of ammo.
  4. Gun laws wouldn't move, what would I don't like about NJ is the price, some of the 'culture' and how my area is getting run down the past 10-15 years or so. I love Jersey (kind of) but the prices for homes are abseloutely absurd. There is no reason why a home+Taxes should be significantly more expensive here. I wouldn't mind moving to Mt. Bethel or the area, just because it is the closest to my area without the negative aspects. Plus, people are friendlier. Only negative thing about PA is the lack of jobs, so Id have to commute here.
  5. 22 Main Street in Stanhope. My mistake on the Succasunna bit, I always mix stuff up. http://www.red-dot-firearms.com/ I'll edit my first post now. BTW, the Trooper looked in good for carried state. I would have bought it if I didn't just buy a Model 64. I love me a wheelgun.
  6. I stopped in this store on Saturday, small yet nice place. It is in a quaint little town in a small storefront, and unfortunately they don't have much inventory. About 20 rifles, mostly AR's, shotguns, and a Henry. About 40 handguns in stock, I noticed the prices were actually pretty good, had a Colt Trooper .357 for $325. $45 transfer I think. I wanted to buy ammo, but all he had for .45 is Hornady. I bought a pinned 20 round Pmag for $25, also not a bad price. I am going to stop by again in a few months, because he is local and seemed like a nice guy to do business with. I would be happy if he had a decent amount in stock then, and I would be even happier if he had fair ammo prices. I don't want to pay $25 for a box of .45, or .308. Jim Flynn is $6.50 for .223 and $7 for 5.56, I really need to drive there. Quite far away though. All in all, I hope Red Dot does well. He just opened a week or two ago, and he seemed like he really appreciated my business. I think he is a Vet too. EDITED: Stanhope, my bad. Not succasunna
  7. That is great that the Police let her sell it somewhere. I'm not sure how she gets past not registering it, but regardless I'm really happy to hear one less awesome gun is being destroyed.
  8. If you were doing 75 in a 25 in a Honda or Volkswagen with tints (and probably a fart can), you deserve to go to jail, just because I am a bias snob and hate people within my age group who drive those things. All kidding aside, read the FID application. It depends on how you answer this: (20) Have you ever been convicted of a crime in New Jersey or a criminal offense in another jurisdiction where you could have been sentenced to more than six months in jail that has not been expunged or sealed? If yes, list date(s), place(s) and crime(s). Now, there are two key words here. "Convicted" and "Six Months". I don't know how harsh your tickets are, but I doubt you can go to jail for six months on your first offense. Secondly, you have to get yourself convicted, which you haven't yet. Also, I could be entirely incorrect, but I believe that your Chief of Police can deny any FID if he feels that it would be against the publics best interest. He does have to have a genuine reason. Once you get your crap together, there is no harm in politely asking to meet with him and get his advice. If he is a good guy, he will have the courtesy to meet with you and tell you whats what. While the State may say you are kosher, he is still the one who signs off on paperwork. FWIW, there are people out there who got in trouble for driving too fast too many times and got an FID with no problem, and those who got arrested with tiny amounts of MJ in the 70's, got the records expunged, lived normal law abiding lives for 40 years, then got denied an FID. Your mileage may vary.
  9. I would recommend trying a quality 1911, and playing around with a Sig. They're nice weapons, and variety is the spice of life.
  10. I was a few blocks away from my school in Newark waiting in a right turn lane at a light. All of a sudden, a black Chrysler minivan with super dark tints all around hooks around me and makes the right turn. Light changes a minute later, I turn, cruise down a block and I see the minivan, a Dodge truck with a utility body, and a few other civilian looking vehicles with lights surrounding a car that is being stripped apart with the driver getting arrested. Interesting things happen here all the time.
  11. I'm building a firespitter carbine, and want to use a bayonet of some sort. So I will likely be cutting the front base and silver soldering it back on since an M44 setup would be too long. I kind of do want to attempt to use an SKS bayonet, though (although I wont)
  12. Wharton, NJ is hiring BTW, who is hiring CO's now?
  13. Bought some stuff from him and all went well. No complaints and I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.
  14. I recommend talking to the Chief if you can, since you really don't know what is going on. Then, once you talk to the detective, ask for a time frame and politely call when that is up.
  15. I originally posted about moving the front sight back several inches since I'm cutting down a Mosin, but I decided not to. Now I need a new front sight, and I don't know what to use yet. Only thing that comes to mind is a M38 base and sight but I'm open to suggestions. I saw an Enfield jungle carbine muzzle brake on one and it looked cool. I originally wanted to use a standard base with bayonet, but it won't work.
  16. Yeah... I stop in from time to time when I am in the Boro (I went to Hills, after all) and I always wonder why I stop in. Still, sometimes he is nice.
  17. And they aren't. You're paying more for in some cases, a lesser handgun. http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2007/10/09/hk-because-you-suck-and-we-hate-you/ In all seriousness, OP, if you're ever in the area the Silver Bullet in Rockaway is a decent place to check out guns. For NJ, they have a fair selection, although I prefer RTSP. Warning though: The guy that owns it is easily the worst person I have ever met in the firearms world.
  18. Some people on another forum claim its a 1895 sold to Czarist Russia and chambered in 7.62x54r....hence the 7.62 on the stock. Interesting. It definitely doesn't look like a 1895, but the 7.62 is interesting as is the 8.
  19. well... Half of a gun, anyway. It is my roomates, girlfriends, dads gun. I haven't seen it myself, but apparantly it has 7.62 stamped into the wood stock and a "No. 8" in a circle on the drivers side of the reciever. Let me know.
  20. They called me trying to get me to sign up awhile back. I politely told them that ammo costs too much.
  21. Title says it all. Some of the prices are okay, I might buy some .38 at $14.45 a box.
  22. Engine details? I can't see, but are you running a solid axle? My TTB is a love/hate relationship.
